Haruya, who doesn’t want to be found at all costs, vs. the S-class beauties, who want to find him no matter what.

Chapter 35: Why I’m Frequently Mentioned in Conversations Among S-Class Beauties ~Please Stop Fabricating Things I Have No Memory Of~

Connecting the dots was now just a matter of time. Since Haruya discovered the true identity of one of the “S-class beauties,” Rin Kohinata, he was able to unravel the whole truth.

Sara Himekawa, who was helped by him during a pickup attempt.

Yuna Takamori, who shared the same hobby as him.

And Rin Kohinata, who he lent his jersey to when they were caught in the rain.

Haruya realized that the “boys” the S-class beauties were looking for were referring to him.

(This is bad…too bad…)

Haruya, who wanted to spend his high school life calmly without worrying about his relationships with others, was now inwardly holding his head in his hands.

At present, it was lunchtime after the fourth period.

His classmates who had finished their physical education class had already sweated out their youth, gathered together with their friends, and were eating their lunches.

Amidst them, Haruya was sweating coldly as he heard a loud noise from beside him.

“Do you want to eat lunch together today, Akasaki?”

Rather than being used to it, a troublesome presence that was unusually aggressive was showing his white teeth.

Yuki, who sat next to Haruya, pushed their desks together and had a smirk on his face.

Usually, Haruya would sigh and brush it off, but he didn’t even have the composure to do that now.

He stiffened his body and could only manage a wry smile.

“Are you okay? You seemed different since gym class earlier.”

“I’m fine. I’m fine.”

“You’re barely making any sense…”

As they engaged in a pointless conversation, Yuki spread out his lunchbox next to the frozen Haruya and started stuffing food into his mouth. It was Yuki’s way of showing concern for Haruya, whose condition had clearly deteriorated. Rather than going out to eat with his other friends as usual, he chose to stay by Haruya’s side.

However, Haruya’s true feelings were that he wanted to be left alone instead.

Throughout the lunch period, he forced himself to eat the food he had bought at the convenience store while looking down, but he could hear a topic of conversation from nearby that he didn’t want to hear more of. It was as if they were deliberately flaunting their conversation in front of him.

“I was saved from a pick-up artist… and also, you know, when he got angry for me, I was really happy.”

“Himekawa-san, and then? What happened next!?”

“I met him again, and he helped me out like before… He even matched his walking pace with mine and was so gentlemanly during our meal…”

“What!?!? He’s handsome, his personality is perfect, and he’s your destined encounter! He really feels like a legend!”

After Rin openly talked about her meeting with Haruya in fourth-period PE, Sara was now telling the other girls about her own encounter with him. Yuna was also talking about her experience with Haruya. The girls in the class were filling the room with their high-pitched voices.

The boys were whispering and listening in, making Haruya’s situation even more unbearable.

Above all else, Haruya thought to himself,

(She said she was happy when I got angry? That’s totally not true… I was just flustered at the time. And matching her walking pace? I wasn’t even aware of that. Gentlemanly? No way. I was actually cursing my own incompetence…)

Haruya cannot hide his surprise at the fact that the truth has been twisted. Fabrications were made without his knowledge. And it’s not just Sara.

“What about Takamori-san? Did you meet a guy who shares your interests?”

“Yeah… he’s really thoughtful and… a cool guy, I guess.”

“Oh, Takamori-san’s blushing! To make Takamori-san think that far… that guy must be amazing!”

(…Thoughtful? No, it’s the opposite. She’s the one who helped me out and gave me advice, and even treated me to dinner. No, she’s more thoughtful than me!)

Yuna also openly talks about her encounter with Haruya to the girls in class. Although the content of Yuna’s story is not as exaggerated as Sara’s, it is still enough fabrication for Haruya.

No, no, no! Haruya shakes his head inwardly.

And then, after Yuna…

“Kohinata! Tell us more about what happened in P.E. class!”

“Yes-yes!”

“Hehe~, but before that, the guys we’re looking for. Those guys are in this high school that everyone’s talking about! They all seem cool and gentlemanly from what I’ve heard~”

“And we still don’t know who they are! They’re like real heroes.”

“I want to meet someone like that too.”

Rin blushed slightly as she said that, and the girls around her became even more excited, while the boys whispered to each other in anticipation of something.

What that “something” is, Haruya has no idea, but it’s definitely not something he’s happy about.

“Most of the rumors that were leaked out are true. Three boys who are legends, heroes, and almost mythical… and they’re all in this high school. I wonder who they are, I’d love to meet them.”

Yuki says this unconsciously next to him, but Haruya looks at the faces of the S-class beauties and holds his head in his hands.

(Why did it turn out like this? I can only feel anxiety for the rest

of my high school life… And, let me say this one thing…)
