The Charm of the Popular Beautiful Succubus in Class Doesn't Work on Me ~ For Some Reason, This Beauty Keeps Trying to Hold My Hand ~ - 1

Chapter 1: You Saw, Didn’t You?

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Makabe-kun, you like me, right?”

“I do.”

“Then, you’ll do your best for me, won’t you?”

“I will do as you command.”

After school, I, Michito Naruse, witnessed an unexpected scene in the empty classroom. It was the sight of a classmate, who had just been sitting in class with me, holding the hand of a beautiful girl tightly. This classmate of mine was speaking to her like he was pledging his loyalty to a royalty. The shock was so overwhelming that I instinctively hid behind a desk.

Is this some kind of prank? In that case, there should be a camera around… 

I scanned my surroundings, but I didn’t see any camera. 

Which means… This isn’t a prank and it doesn’t look like a rehearsal for a play either. We don’t have a drama club at our school and the cultural festival is still far off. 

So, this is really..

I just witnessed Makabe confessing his feelings to Kisara Sarashina?!?!?!

I barely ever talked to Makabe, but Makabe was one of those ‘introverted’ types, so I never expected he’d be in love with someone, let alone the class idol, Kisara Sarashina. Speaking of Kisara Sarasashina, she was an overwhelmingly beautiful girl from class 2-A and she was also the pride of our class. Even someone like me, who didn’t have any connection to her, couldn’t help but follow her with my eyes due to her stunning looks. She’d definitely be the heroine if this was the world of a light novel. 

Her long, fluttering eyelashes and sharp, slender nose. Her silky, bluish hair that cascaded down to her waist, complemented with her mint-green hairpin and sky blue eyes that enhanced her pure, unblemished appearance. Milky white thighs peeking out from under her skirt and her feminine legline clad in her knee-high socks.  Not to mention…. Her voluptuous chest that was akin to a lethal weapon…. It wouldn’t be an exception to say this girl was a perfect beauty.

So Makabe is dating someone like her…? Ughhhh! I’m so jealoussss! Of course, I’m jealous, but honestly? I can’t help but feel Kisara and Makabe are a bit mismatched.

“Makabe-kun, you can leave now. Thanks for going out of your way to accompany me after school.”

Kisara said as she released Makabe’s hand. Then, after making sure Makabe had left the classroom, she sat down on the desk with a ‘plop’ and sighed. 

“With that, I’ve conquered 80% of the class… Things are proceeding more smoothly than I expected~”

What did she mean by “80%”? I couldn’t keep up with the situation. My mind was completely wrecked by what had just happened. For now, it seemed the best course of action I had was to escape the scene and ask Makabe to spill the beans tomorrow. 

Just as I was about to leave the classroom.. 

Thud!

“Ouch! Ah, crap!”

Thud!

I stood up too quickly and due to my carelessness, I ended up bumping my head on the desk. I proceeded to lose my balance and fell flat onto my bottom. 

“Who’s there!? Is someone there!?”

Noticing the commotion, Kisara stood up from the desk and walked over to me with sharp, rhythmic footsteps.

This is bad… This is bad… This is bad! I need to run!

However, having fallen on my bottom, my delayed reaction proved to be my downfall. In an instant, I was caught by Kisara. 

“Ah, it’s you…”

Her almond-shaped eyes gave her the cuteness and sharpness of a cat. I found myself lost in her gaze. Her eyes looked so mystical, like she could see through everything. Judging from how she was standing, it was clear to see that I had no chance of escaping. 

“If I’m not wrong… You’re Michihito Naruse-kun, right?”

She knows my name? Even though we’ve never talked before…?

“Ye-Yeah…”

I was so surprised to know that she knew my name, to the point my voice ended up creaking while still sitting on the floor. 

“Come on, how long are you going to sit there?”

She giggled at my appearance before gracefully extending her translucent white hand toward me. Even though I felt reluctant to accept her help, but responding to her offered hand was almost instinctual to me. As if I was guided by something, I gripped her hand tightly. 

“Tha-Thank you… Well, I should head home now.”

Embarrassed by both the fall and the fact that I had been caught watching her interaction with Makabe, I hurriedly tried to leave the classroom. However, she wouldn’t let me escape. She tightened her grip on my hand. The force from her grip pulled me back toward her. 

“You saw, didn’t you?”

Her face quickly drew close. Her breath was so close to me, just a whisper away. I could almost feel the heat of her skin, which caused my heart to race wildly. 

Wai-… Her face is a bit too close… Not to mention, I can feel her breath in my ear… 

Stunned by her alluring aura, my mouth flapped open and closed in a daze. She then tightened her grip on my hand even more. 

“Can you forget everything you just saw?”

“…Huh?”

“If you like me, you should be able to do that much, right?”

Desperate to escape the situation, I frantically nodded my head up and down.

“Alright. I’ll be counting on you then.”

After she said that, she slowly released my hand, as if she suddenly lost interest in me.

“P-Pardon me!”

I said in a hurry and made a quick dash to leave the room. I had just witnessed something really incredible. This might be the biggest news in the class. Our class idol was dating the so-called leader of the introverts, Makabe. But… She told me to keep this a secret. Well, someone as popular as her must had a lot of things to consider. Being the class idol was more complicated than it seemed. Still, what did she mean by ‘if you like me’? I thought she was dating Makabe? Sure, she was beautiful, but ‘like’? I didn’t really like Kisara Sarashina in that sense though?
