Non-Human Girls Are Fighting Over Me ~ Do I Get to Refuse? “Nope!” “No Way!” “Not a Chance!” “Absolutely Not!” - Chapter 44 & 45

Chapter 44: All Old Rookie

Haraikawa High School, Class 2-B, morning homeroom.

In the sleepy atmosphere, the teacher’s voice rang out.

“Alright, starting today, we have a new classmate joining us.”

Standing beside the teacher was—

A slender figure, about 160 cm, with platinum blonde medium-length hair.

A red hairband gleamed, accentuating her refined air.

Her soft smile was the epitome of delicate charm, begging to be protected.

But what drew every eye… her ample E-cup chest.

Her uniform shirt highlighted its curves, pulling every boy’s gaze.

“Starting today, she’ll be studying with you all. Please welcome Aki Umahara.”

Clapping erupted.

But the next moment—

“Nice to meet you, I’m Aki Umahara. I’m… dating Kazuto Ienari from this class. Pleased to meet you.”

—BOOM!

It was as if a bomb had dropped, shaking the classroom.

“Whaaaaaa!?”

“Why!? Why that guy!!”

“No way! Huh!? Kazuto-kun, that Kazuto!? The plain guy!?”

Boys’ resentment and girls’ shrieks mingled, turning the room into a scene from hell.

Amid the chaos—a faint creak seemed to echo, like a neck turning.

Kazuto froze, pierced by a laser-like stare.

“…”

It was Towa.

Her desk groaned under her grip, her face like a demon mask.

Her eyes silently screamed, “You did it again, huh. You really screwed up!!”

“What!? No, what!? I’ve never met her! I swear!”

Kazuto muttered desperately to himself, but no one heard.

“Well, by chance, your seat’s next to Ienari-kun.”

The teacher’s casual remark poured fuel on the fire.

“Okay!”

Aki smiled brightly, gracefully taking the seat beside Kazuto.

“Long time no see. Finally found you. We’ll be together forever now. Hehe.”

She said, plopping down next to him.

Her smile was refined, delicate—like a quintessential heroine.

But.

Towa’s stare had gone beyond laser beams, practically boring holes through flesh.

(Kazuto: Scary scary scary scary… I wanna run, I gotta run, this is definitely the ‘get killed’ vibe…!!)

Sweat trickled down his back.

Beside him, Aki smiled innocently at Towa.

Her gesture seemed to say, “Kazuto Ienari’s top spot is mine ♡.”

Towa countered with a stiff—no, practically face-twitching—smile.

“…”

She was smiling. But the rage simmering behind her lips was palpable.

“I forgot my textbook. Let me see yours.”

Aki said, scooting her desk closer, casually brushing against Kazuto.

(Huh!? Hold up, you jerk. Why’s your face all happy and smug, Kazuto…? I’ll deal with you later. You’re done. I’m dragging you out back and beating you senseless.)

Towa’s inner voice seemed to blare like a speaker.

Kazuto’s lifespan shrank.

※

Lunch break.

“Um, so…”

Aki shyly looked down, tugging lightly at Kazuto’s sleeve.

“I made you a bento. If it’s not a bother… would you eat it? Is that… okay?”

Upward glance.

Flushed cheeks.

Soft voice.

—The three ultimate weaknesses for any teenage boy, served up in a full-course assault.

“Oh… thanks. I’ll, uh… dig in…”

Kazuto mumbled, half-fainting.

“Yay!”

Aki’s face lit up.

In that moment, the boys’ inner voices roared as one.

(Why you, Ienariiiii!!)

“Let’s eat together then.”

At a bench behind the school, Aki opened the bento box.

“Ta-da! I woke up early to make it.”

Rice balls, karaage, tamagoyaki, kinpira gobo, cherry tomatoes, broccoli.

Perfect color and nutrition balance. The ideal high school boy’s bento.

“Getting a bento from someone other than Mom… it’s my first time.”

“Really? I’m so happy.”

Kazuto popped a piece of karaage in his mouth.

Crunch, juicy—

“…Delicious!!”

His face broke into a grin.

“So, if it’s okay with you… I’d like to make one tomorrow too.”

Aki said softly, fidgeting.

“Uh… yeah.”

“It’s not… a bother…?”

“No way!”

“Then, tomorrow too ♡.”

Aki’s face bloomed like a flower.

Kazuto was completely knocked out.

—But.

Someone watched it all from the shadows.

“…That girl.”

It was Towa.

Her fists clenched so tight, it seemed her teeth might grind to dust.

“With me right here…”

The schoolyard scene was filled with the sweet aroma of bento—and Towa’s murderous aura.

Chapter 45.1: After School in the Club Room — Public Execution

The sun outside still blazed, but inside the film club room, it was like the Ice Age.

No, below freezing—maybe absolute zero.

At the center of this chill was me—Kazuto Ienari.

And right now, I was forced to kneel like I was groveling, a ridiculous placard hanging from my neck.

“I’m a lousy guy who got a girlfriend despite having a beautiful, wonderful fiancée.”

…An undeniable public execution setup.

Before me stood Towa, transformed into a demon incarnate; Mio, arms crossed, glaring silently; and Riri, casually munching snacks, firmly in spectator mode.

“—So, Kazuto.”

A vein pulsed on Towa’s forehead as she questioned me in a low voice.

“What’s with that girl? When did you charm her?”

“No, no, no! I don’t know! I swear I don’t!”

I shook my head desperately.

“Oh~? So a random girl just makes you a bento? Is she a bento shop’s daughter or something, huh?”

“Uh… you saw that?”

“Saw it!? That’s not the point!!”

Grab! Towa’s hand seized my collar, yanking me so close our noses almost touched, her furious face glaring.

“Where’d you seduce her!!”

“Cough, cough… I really don’t know her!”

“Wait, he might actually not know her,” Mio cut in.

Her eyes were sharp but held a trace of calm.

“Yup, she’s probably non-human,” Riri said casually, crunching on potato chips.

“No way Kazuto’s popular with human girls.”

“…”

I felt a sting for a moment. But I couldn’t argue.

“Exactly,” Towa snorted.

“Human girls wouldn’t give him the time of day, but for some reason, he’s a magnet for non-human girls.”

The hellish interrogation didn’t stop. Towa narrowed her eyes, her voice dropping lower.

“So—your ‘cute girlfriend’ is making you a bento tomorrow too, huh? Hmm~”

The light vanished from Towa’s eyes.

In the next moment, she crouched in a yankee squat, meeting my gaze.

Her skirt rode up, flashing her underwear… but she didn’t care one bit.

Too scared to point it out.

“Today’s fine. She made it, so you couldn’t refuse. I’ll let it slide—a hundred steps back, I get it.

I don’t want to get it, but I do.”

She slung an arm around my shoulder, pulling my face closer.

“What about tomorrow?”

“Uh… what about it…”

“You’ll refuse, right? Come on, refuse. Hmm?”

Her pressure intensified.

“You probably swapped RINE contacts, yeah? I’ll watch, so message her now. Right now.”

(This is straight-up a yakuza interrogation…!)

“Yeah, you should refuse,” Riri mumbled through her snacks.

“If you accept tomorrow, she’ll keep making them every day.”

“Refuse,” Mio added, piling on.

“She’s definitely trouble. You’ll get stabbed one day.”

(I’m already in plenty of trouble, and I’ve been hurt enough… by you guys…)

I thought it, but saying it out loud would cost me my life, so I stayed quiet.

Chapter 45.2: Declaration of War — That Man Is Already Mine

After school in the film club room.

The air conditioning should’ve been working, but cold sweat trickled down Kazuto’s back.

Mio, Towa, Riri—their merciless gazes pierced him.

The “confession placard” still sat on the desk, and Kazuto, with it hanging from his neck, was completely exposed.

A sharp ping cut through the tense air.

“…Hm?”

Towa peered at Kazuto’s phone.

On the screen, text danced alongside soft pink hearts.

Aki: Sorry for springing that on you today ♡

I’m washing your bento box now, and I just wondered what you’re up to, so I RINE’d you ♡

I’ll make another tomorrow ♡

Tell me if you have any requests. I’ll give it a shot ♡

“…”

Silence.

Then—Towa’s hand began to tremble.

“…Oh~? Making you another tomorrow, huh? Lucky you, Kazuto… So, what’s this!?”

Towa slammed the desk, her furious shout shaking the room.

Kazuto went pale. (Oh no… today’s my last day…)

As if to pile on, another ping.

The screen showed—a two-shot photo of the bento handoff.

Aki’s beaming smile and Kazuto awkwardly accepting the bento.

“Grrrrrrrr!! Huff! Huff! Huff!”

Towa transcended demon rage, becoming an asura incarnate.

Her sheer intensity snapped Mio back to calmness.

“You know, when one of us goes totally berserk, it kinda makes you chill out.”

“Totally,” Riri nodded, munching snacks.

But the chaos wasn’t over.

Ping. A third notification.

This time, a bold message from Aki.

Aki: I’m warning you.

Keep your hands off my husband.

Listen, that man is already mine.

He was never yours, not even once.

Back off now.

“…”

The three girls’ eyes narrowed.

“Declaration of war,” Towa said, her voice low, no trace of a smile.

“…Guess we’ve got no choice,” Mio’s lips curled upward.

“When someone picks a fight, you gotta take it, right?” Riri giggled.

The air in the room was pure battlefield.

“…Well, even if you refuse, Aki-chan’s probably bringing a bento tomorrow anyway. Hehe.”

Mio smirked meaningfully, staring at Kazuto.

Kazuto’s mind had completely shut down.

(If I say the wrong thing, I’m dead… Just wait out the storm…)
