The Guy Who Messed Up Is Gradually Doing His Best - Chapter 149

Today was a bit unsettling because it was the first day other male students besides me were attending school.

Of course, it wasn’t just me, but everyone in the class. That’s because everyone seemed to be discussing things more than usual today. I’m a little concerned that Nanako was the one leading the discussions instead of Saori, though…

Nanako seems to be at her own pace, but being the vice-chairperson, she’s good at taking care of others and enjoys helping people. I’m sure she’s listening to the girls who wanted to deepen their friendship with them at first glance.

Hmm? Nanako suddenly turned, and our eyes met. She gave a strong thumbs-up and nodded.

Nanako is unusually serious. I guess that’s probably it. She’s picking at her skirt a little and fluttering it, so she doesn’t seem tense, though.

Even in the homeroom on the way home, the topic was about the male students. It seems the head teachers of each grade will handle it for a while, but they said they’d like my cooperation as a man if something comes up.

I want to see more male students who are purely attending school, so I accept without hesitation.

Homeroom is over, and it’s time to go home, but since there were other things I was curious about today, I decided to ask Saori and the others.

“Does our school have a psychic sports club?”

According to what I heard from Mil-san, it seems to be a not very popular sport, but I’d like to observe it if there’s an opportunity. If not, I’ll try to find a video of it.

“The Psychic Sports Club? Of course, we have one. It’s not unusual, I think every school has one, but did something happen?”

It was Saori who answered. Saori looked puzzled.

“Oh, yeah. I might get some tickets to watch a game next time, so I was just curious.”

When I said that, the classroom, which had been bustling with students getting ready to go home, fell silent in an instant.

Huh? Did I say something wrong? I feel like everyone’s eavesdropping on me… This is…

“Is it unpopular…?”

“Huh? Uh, no, of course not. I don’t know about other schools, but it’s quite popular at our school because it trains your telekinesis and is advantageous for getting a job.”

“Really?”

What was everyone’s reaction just now? I’m curious, but… oh, so our school has one too. And it’s supposed to be good training? I’m just interested.

“Oh, but I think I heard that Nouriki-sensei came to this school after she arrived.”

It seems the reason our school is popular is thanks to Nouriki-sensei, the club advisor.

It’s a quiet sport and not very popular, but it’s useful for getting a job, isn’t it?

“Really?”

In my class, it seems that Himana-san and Kigaki-san, who weren’t planning to go on to higher education, are in the Psychic Sports Club, but they’re now prioritizing the Armed Girls’ office and have become ghost members, which makes me chuckle.

“Haha… since Taketo-kun is here, and the pay is good too…”

“Yeah, I need to work harder because I want to be officially hired after graduation.”

“I can’t push you too hard,” Akinai-san says, apologizing, “but merchandise sales are going well, and we need more hands.” She manages the sales-related matters. Apparently, she’s currently reaching out to the third-year students who are planning to start working.

For music-related tasks, there are Saori, Nanako, Tsukune, and Sachiko. They mainly work on creating new songs and editing videos, while administrative tasks are handled primarily by Kumiyaji-san and the others.

By the way, it seems she’s earning several times more than before at her part-time job, and she’s happy because she thinks she’ll be able to live more comfortably if things keep going this way.

“Taketo-kun, over here.”

I’m currently standing in front of the dojo located on the school grounds. The four of them, Saori and the others, took the initiative to guide me because my fiancé was one of them. Recently, people have been offering to provide music, and we were talking about that when we arrived in no time.

Everyone else? Everyone went to the office. It felt like Akinai-san forcefully dragged them away, saying she had a lot of work piled up.

“Wow, I didn’t know there was a building like this here.”

The meditation hall was a bit smaller than the gymnasium, but it had an atmosphere that felt historical.

——I’m drawn to it somehow…

“Yeah. It seems like we’ll use it in class when we’re in our second year…”

Saori and the others look a little embarrassed. It seems they haven’t actually used it yet either.

“Shall we enter quietly so as not to disturb the practice?”

As soon as I went inside, I saw female students in gym clothes divided into several groups, stretching and doing light training. Among them, some were even doing things I had done in the telekinesis class.

Honestly, I’d love to join the training menu right now. But I don’t have any clothes to change into, so it’s impossible.

But just as Saori said, she was popular; even just glancing around, there might be around 40 members. As I was thinking that,

“Oh!”

“Taketo-kun!”

“You really came!”

I was noticed immediately, and everyone stared at me.

“Oh dear…”

I didn’t want to disrupt the club activities. I was filled with apologies when it immediately turned into a commotion, but…

“Everyone, quiet down! Line up!”

As a powerful voice echoed through the dojo, the members divided into several groups and lined up neatly.

——I thought there would be around 40 people, but there might be 60…

Then, a woman immediately stepped forward. Judging by her gym uniform, she must be a second-year student. She’s a woman with a really good figure.

“I am Kiriga Mineko, the head of the Psychic Sports Department. Taketo-sama, I’ve heard from Nouriki-sensei. You’re welcome to look around as much as you like today. And of course, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask me.”

The vertical curls are really striking. It’s a hairstyle like the villainess in manga and novels. It’s actually real… I’m a little surprised.

Is she the daughter of some conglomerate?

“Thank you. I’m sorry for dropping in so suddenly today. I actually intended to just watch for a little while and then leave quickly so I wouldn’t disturb your practice.”

“Ohohoho. Taketo-sama, that’s being too concerned. There isn’t a single person here who would be bothered by your visit.”

That’s a great laugh. Oh no, I’m about to laugh a little. Everyone else is chuckling too, but is that okay?

“I-is that so? Hearing you say that… even if it’s a lie, it makes me happy.”

“It’s not a lie, you know. Isn’t that right, everyone in the club?”

“That’s right, but… Head, don’t you think it’s time you stopped talking like that? It’s so disgusting, it’s giving me goosebumps all over.”

Vice-President Taniyama-san was rubbing her arms and making a disgusted face. Hmm? Are they stopping talking? As I tilt my head in confusion at their conversation,

“Ohohoho. What are you talking about…? Oh, stop looking at me like that. Fine, I get it. I was trying to act like a young lady, thinking Taketo-kun might like it…”

“What era are you from, young lady? Oh dear, I’m so sorry, Taketo-kun.”

“No, not particularly.”

“Unlike the vice-captain, Taketo-kun is so kind. Hmm, I like him.”

“Haha, thank you. Even as a joke, that makes me happy.”

“I’m serious, you know. Oh, okay, everyone, stop watching and get back to practice. Yes, move quickly. You there, stop laughing and move. So, Taketo-kun, feel free to watch as much as you like, and of course, you can ask any questions you want, anytime. I’ll even tell you my three sizes if you want. Should I just tell you now?”

“I won’t listen.”

“You’re so cute when you’re shy.”

The club president quickly takes off her vertical roll hairstyle and laughs heartily, saying, “This is a wig I borrowed from the drama club.” What a unique and free-spirited person.

“Oh, are you curious about my hairstyle?”

The department head had a short haircut with short bangs. Without even being asked, she started telling me the reason for it.

She just cut her long hair herself because she couldn’t afford to spend money on a haircut, so it’s a bit uneven.

I hear she wants to get a job after graduation, but Head-san, is it about time she could come for a visit?
