My Childhood Friend, Who Is the Most Popular Girl in the School, Is Too Cute and Naughty Only in Front of Me. I’m Doing My Best to Maintain My Sanity. - Chapter 5

Me and Saori walked into our own classroom with our arms linked.

Naturally, we were getting a lot of stares from our classmates.

“Good morning, Amane. You and Saori-chan are as close as ever. I envy you.”

The one who called out to me was Shigeru Sato, who became a friend of mine in high school. He was well received by everyone because of his friendly attitude.

“Good morning Shigeru. I’m having a hard time in the morning because of the pain from the stares…”

“Hahaha, after all, the one standing next to you is the most beautiful girl in our school. Good morning to you too, Saori-chan.”

“Good morning, Shigeru-san. I still don’t really like the term “Takamine no Hana”¹Takane no hana 高嶺の花 — Literally translated as, “Flower on a high peak”. It means, “something out of one’s reach”. Some things are beautiful to look at, but realistically, there is no way you can get them. I’m not interested in anyone but Amane-kun.”

“Hahaha, I like it when you’re so passionate.”

Shigeru chuckled a little and said.

“Well then, we’re off to our seats.”

“Later then”

For the time being, we parted from Shigeru and moved to our seats.

We prepared for the first period.

I believe… there was a quiz in the first period…

I’d better study. ….

With that in mind, I took out my study materials from my bag.

“Amane-kun, what are you doing?”

“You know that quiz we have in the first period? I’m trying to study for it.”

“That’s not necessary.”

“What? Why?”

“Even if Amane-kun is an idiot and can’t study, it doesn’t matter as long as I’m around. I will support Amane-kun for the rest of my life, so all you need to do is to make me feel good.”

(T/N: Bro What to do to get such luck)

“W-What are you saying! You… What if someone heard you…!”

If anyone heard us, it’s the end.

Really I’m beat. In various ways

“You are so cute when you are flustered. I want to hug you right now.”

“Please don’t do that.”

While we were having this exchange, the morning bell rang.
