Insensitive Bocchi-kun ~Reluctantly Heading to School Today~ [Dropped] - Chapter 130: Peaceful?

Chapter 130: Peaceful?

“Good morning, Mamiya-kun!”

“Ah, yeah, good morning.”

“I-Is there something on my face?”

“No, it’s not that.”

That’s a relief.

The usual Yamamoto.

Just like everyone else, Yamamoto was in school uniform…

Why did I have such a dream yesterday… 

Really…

“Good morning, Mamiya-kun!”

“Ah, yeah, good morning.”

And then there’s Tanaka-kun…

In his own way, he’s operating as usual, I guess.

Lately, he’s been styling his hair with loads of wax, making it stick up.

It’s almost like a Super Saiyan’s hairstyle…

It seems a bit, or rather, normally excessive…

“Hmm, what’s up? Is there something on my face?”

“No, it’s nothing like that…”

No one around seems to mention it, as if it’s forbidden to touch the subject.

Even Sakaki and the others, who seem likely to gossip, are completely silent.

Well, it might be because Yorimoto is always by Tanaka-kun’s side…

Yeah. I still don’t quite understand, but they are always together…

Anyway, they aren’t bothering anyone, so I’ll stay silent too.

“…”

No… I remember the other day, in a crowded train, a girl next to me holding onto a strap got pricked by that spiky hair and winced, saying “Ouch”…

And then I recall getting a really sharp glare… Yeah, I remember.

Sort of a human weapon, in a way…

Maybe staying silent about it isn’t the right thing to do.

“By the way, Mamiya-kun. I’m thinking of resuming my activities as a YouTuber. I’d really like you to be a part of it. What do you say?”

YouTube… Again with the sudden ideas…

And a ‘resumption’ implies he’s been active before…

“Well, I’m currently involved in various things with Yorimoto. Once I have something concrete for you to participate in, I’ll ask again. I’ll be counting on you then.”

“…”

And what’s with that smile?

I haven’t said anything yet. Hey…

Honestly, I’m not keen on it…

But, is that hairstyle for that purpose…?

No, it doesn’t seem like it on second thought…

Then why…

“Yamamoto-san and Alice-chan, if it’s okay with you, I’d like to ask for your help too. Just a little bit is fine. I’ll make sure there’s proper compensation.”

And now he’s roping them in too.

Tanaka-kun is really something.

“Eh? YouTube? It’s a bit embarrassing, isn’t it…”

“YouTube? Oh, my friend Linlin just started recently too. Wow, you’re starting as well, Tanaka-kun?”

Eh? Linlin is a YouTuber?

I didn’t know that. Really?

I quickly take out my smartphone and search.

Whoa… it’s true.

That face is unmistakably Linlin…

And what’s with this number of channel subscribers? Way too many.

Wow… The number of views on her videos is definitely that of a popular YouTuber.

Yeah, I should watch these thoroughly when I get home.

No matter how beautiful she is, it’s amazing what an amateur can do to gain such popularity.

This is really impressive…

“Hey, Kento Mamiya!”

That voice… it’s…

“…”

“What was that yesterday? Why only with her!”

As I thought…

“Today, it’s special training for sure! I won’t let anyone interfere!”

Yes, the loud voice that just entered the classroom belongs to Arisa Shibuya.

And as soon as I see her face, that bearded old man’s image flashes through my mind again…

“…”

No. Absolutely not. I’d rather die than.

Special training with her equals his presence.

Even if I absolutely have to appear in a drama and need special training, I just can’t with him.

I have to find a way to refuse.

Absolutely…

“Hey! Kento Mamiya? Say something! I won’t let you escape!”

Damn…

What to do. What to do. What to do.

“Yesterday’s thing?”

“Was there something?”

Ah, it’s more than just ‘something’, Yamamoto and Alice…

I witnessed the end of the world.

Really, what to do…

“No, I have some errands to run…”

“Errands? What errands? What!”

Damn… What should I say? Any excuse will do, even a lie.

I just can’t deal with him, only him…

Maybe say I have a meeting for the cultural festival today?

No, if Yamamoto, Tanaka-kun, and the others don’t back me up, that lie will be exposed immediately, leading to more trouble…

What then? What else is there?

Anything, just anything…

“…”

Ah

“Hey, Kento Mamiya! What’s up with you! It must be a lie, right? Come on, we have special training today! Got it?”

“No… I have one.”

Yeah…

“So what is it? Tell me quickly!”

“It’s a meeting with Tanaka-kun… about YouTube…”

“Eh! Really? That means you’re also a member of ‘Hello Tanaka Channel’! Yessssssss!”

“…”

No, I’ll have to discuss that matter slowly once I get through this…

Yeah, let’s talk about it slowly. Tanaka-kun…

“What’s this about YouTube—” 

“Yesssssssssssssssssssssss!!! Woooooo”

“…”

Please don’t get too excited…

I feel bad for Tanaka-kun, but it’s a lie. So, really…

And then Shibuya-san just stops talking in the middle of her sentence…

Incredible, Tanaka-kun…

And the fact that everyone around is unresponsive to this spectacle

Is the most amazing part…

Tanaka-kun… you are truly remarkable in so many ways.

________It may not be too far in the future when this Ichiro Tanaka becomes a superstar… in many different ways….
