The Story Of How I, A Gloomy Guy, Ended Up Surrounded By the Top-Tier Beautiful Girls In Class After A Seat Change - Chapter 2

Unable to accept the reality, I repeatedly checked my seat written on the blackboard.

However, no matter how many times I looked, my name was undoubtedly there, surrounded by the three beauties of the class.

(No matter how I think about it, this is the worst seat ever.)

Those three girls had such presence and beauty that they attracted everyone’s gaze without doing anything, recognized by all as the center of the class.

A seat in the center surrounded by those three… it’s nothing but hell.

I preferred to sit quietly in the corner of the classroom, grinning while reading light novels. But with a seat like this, I won’t be able to read in peace. Please don’t bring the sun near a gloomy person like me.

“Hey, Izumiya’s seat is surrounded by Kuroki and the others.”

“That’s a godly seat, isn’t it?”

“Seriously, I’m so jealous…”

The jealous gazes from my male classmates were directed at me.

Feeling dejected, I carried my luggage and sat in the seat of hell. Airi Miyama was already in front of me.

Miyama is a popular beauty known as the embodiment of ‘cute’. Her bright twin tails, draped over her shoulders, were adorably styled in loose waves. Her large, round eyes and cute duck lips added to her charm. Her naturally pretty face was enhanced with makeup and nails, making her stand out compared to other girls.

Additionally, the intense stares from the boys weren’t just because she was cute but also because of her overly large chest. Her high school uniform was so tight due to her voluptuous figure that any guy would do a double-take. Even someone like me, who felt uneasy around her, was astonished when I first saw her.

Despite her slim waist, her ample chest and plump thighs gave her a figure comparable to a gravure idol.

“Good morning, Airi.”

“Oh, Yuria! Morning~”

As I was thinking about Miyama, the second of the three beauties, Yuria Ichinose, arrived. She placed her belongings on the desk to my left and sat down.

“Our seats are close, huh?”

“Yeah, right? Maybe Rui-chan arranged it?”

“Maybe.”

(What’s with “maybe”? For me, it’s nothing but trouble…!)

“Yuria, your nails look amazing today. Did you change the top coat or use oil?”

“I didn’t do anything special.”

Ichinose replied coolly, her eyes on her smartphone.

Yuria Ichinose was known for her sharp eyes and prickly personality, a downer gyaru.

Her chestnut brown hair, obviously dyed, always swayed beautifully, and her glossy pink nails had a gyaru vibe. Her sharp and small face made her look more beautiful than cute. Though not as large as Miyama’s, her adequately large chest and slim waist hinted at her good figure.

I like Gyarus in 2D, but in reality, they are very intimidating.

(In this world, there’s no such thing as a gyaru who’s kind to otakus. They only exist in fantasies.)

“Rui-chan is late, isn’t she? Maybe she’s in the restroom?”

“Who knows? Oh, Yamada-sensei’s here, Airi.”

Just as Ichinose said, our homeroom teacher, Yamada-sensei, appeared in the hallway, followed by the class representative, Rui Kuroki. They entered the classroom.

“Everyone, take your seats.”

The intimidating Yamada-sensei, holding a bamboo sword, ordered, and the frightened students quietly sat down. Kuroki, who came with Yamada-sensei, also sat in her seat to my right.

(Kuroki… because of you, I ended up in this terrible seat.)

“It looks like the seating change is complete. Don’t get too excited, you all.”

Yamada-sensei scanned the students with a sharp gaze. Yamada-sensei’s intimidation is no joke…

“This time, I allowed the seating change because the class representative, Kuroki, insisted on it. But rest assured, such pointless seating changes will never happen again. Morning homeroom is over.”

Yamada-sensei struck the floor with the bamboo sword and left the classroom.

(Oh… Yamada-sensei’s morning homeroom is finally over… Wait, what?)

Hold on a second. Didn’t Yamada-sensei just say, “Will never happen again”?

(Am I going to be stuck in this seat until the end of my second year?!)

“No way…”

I was in despair. My peaceful high school life was crumbling. Being surrounded by these three for a whole year… I’d rather drop out.

“——Izumiya-kun, it’s been a while.”

As my face turned pale, a clear and beautiful voice came from my right. This voice…

“Starting today, we’re neighbours. Nice to meet you.”

Rui Kuroki… She is the main culprit behind all of this and the class representative.

Her glossy, straight black hair is like a classic Japanese beauty, with gentle, downturned eyes and a well-proportioned face. Her slender figure is more suited to a model than anything else.

I was surprised that such a beautiful class representative suddenly talked to me. Let me clarify: Kuroki and I have never spoken in the past five years.

“Rui-chan, what are you talking about?”

“…Rui, do you know that guy?”

Two of the three beauties approached Kuroki’s seat while asking this. Ichinose pointed at me, calling me “that guy.”

“Well, we’ve never talked before, but actually, Izumiya-kun and I went to the same middle school.”

Yes, Kuroki and I went to the same middle school. Even back then, Kuroki attracted attention with everything she did. She was the student council president and the track team captain, and she was even ranked first in the national mock exams, garnering both popularity and respect.

Surprisingly, someone like Rui Kuroki remembered the name of a lowly introvert like me.

Why is Kuroki interacting with me now? Is it just because we ended up as neighbours?

Whatever the reason, I will never forgive you, Rui Kuroki…

As I glared at her, Kuroki gave me a mischievous smile.
