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

Chapter 213: What We Found Wasn’t a Death Note, but a Super Lewd Note

Hey everyone, it’s just your average super lewd high schooler, Ryota.

After the student council president election ended, we were having a celebration party at my house with everyone. While I was out buying a gas canister for the portable stove, I didn’t notice my sister (the walking disaster) coming home.

And when I got back… my back shrank right up!

“Hey Ryota-kun! What is the meaning of this notebook!”

Tanaka made me sit in seiza, and the pressure from everyone around me caused my back to slump forward with a pathetic curve.

I think the dramatic movie-trailer style earlier might not have made it clear, so let me explain what actually happened.

We were holding the student council president election celebration at my house with the usual group plus Himesaki (and Tanaka tagging along too). While Rui and I stepped out to buy some things and shared that super lewd kiss (on the cheek), for some reason my sister came home from university and decided to publicly reveal my old picture diary.

I didn’t even remember the thing existed, but the handwriting and drawings were definitely mine, no question.

But… I had absolutely no memory of content like this.

“W-Wait a second. What do you mean ‘the other two’ too?”

Yuria tilted her head while looking toward Rui and Airi.

Of course this was going to happen.

For a while now, all three of them had been guessing that the person who helped them in the past might have been me, but I kept stubbornly denying it, and honestly, I didn’t remember much myself.

That’s why I had never told the other two about the incidents the third one experienced, and there had never really been a good time to bring it up anyway.

In short, we were keeping not only our current secrets—‘Yuria’s otaku hobbies, Airi’s part-time job, Rui the perfectionist who sends super lewd selfies’—but also the events from the past completely hidden.

And yet, thanks to this ‘catalyst’ called the ‘picture diary’ getting dug up, I ended up getting summoned as a super lewd servant into a super lewd Holy Grail War.

“So this wafer one is Airi, and the cat one is Rui?”

“Yes! That’s definitely Airi! Wait… then this park one is… Yuria?”

“Y-Yeah, but… hey Rui, you’ve been quiet since earlier—say something already.”

Rui had only muttered something under her breath a moment ago and hadn’t said much since.

It didn’t look like she was angry—more like her face had a strangely refreshed expression.

“Hey, Ryota-kun.”

“Hya—yes! Sorry, I’m so sorry!”

“You don’t need to apologize, but what I want to say is…”

Rui paused for a moment, then picked up the notebook in her hands.

“Since we’re already at this point… why don’t we just read every single other page too?”

“Huh?”

Chapter 214: Picture Diary Battle

Thanks to Rui’s suggestion, we ended up deciding to look at other pages of the picture diaries I wrote in the past.

To begin with, my sister has just been saying things on her own without actually checking the contents properly.

Whether what was written about Rui, Airi, and Yuria is really true or not, I still don’t know.

“Then let’s get started with Ryota-kun’s—”

“W-Wait a second!”

Rui tried to open the picture diary she had placed on the table, but I quickly pressed it down with my right hand.

The move was so sudden that even Rui showed a slightly surprised expression on her face.

“Wh-What’s wrong, Ryota-kun? Don’t tell me at this point you’re going to say you won’t let us see it?”

“Well…”

No matter how you look at it, there’s no way I can let anyone see this picture diary.

It already honestly records all my summer vacation memories without holding anything back, so there’s a chance something even worse might be written in there.

“Hey… how about we give it back to Ryota for now?”

While I was panicking inside my head, Yuria suddenly cut in from the side.

Y-Yuria…?

“Why? Aren’t you curious too, Yuria?”

“Well yeah, but… sure, it might have stuff about us written in it, but a diary can contain super private things too, right? So I think the proper thing to do is give it back to Ryota first.”

That’s completely reasonable—in fact, of course it is!

Still, for Yuria to actually go against Rui’s wishes like that… she’s going this far just for my sake…?

While I was quietly impressed, Yuria smoothly leaned close to my ear.

“If there’s all kinds of stuff about the manga written in there, that’d be bad, wouldn’t it? So read through it once first and hide the bad parts well.”

Yuria whispered that to me in a low voice, then quickly pulled away.

I see… right.

Indeed, among these three, Yuria is the only one whose current secret overlaps with the secrets from the past, isn’t she?

According to what they said themselves, Rui wrote about saving a cat, and Airi wrote about giving me wafers.

“…Well, maybe you’re right, Yuria. Sorry, Ryota-kun. Even I don’t actually want to invade your privacy.”

Says the person who has sent me a ton of super lewd selfies and made me all flustered with the play and the pool and everything (all of them were regular rewards, though).

Even so, Rui handed the diary back to me.

“I really wanted to read Ryota’s picture diary that has all kinds of things about him drawn in it.”

“Senpai’s… various things… I wanted to read it too.”

Why are all of you so interested in a picture diary from someone like me anyway… sigh.

“Anyway, I’ll keep the picture diary with me for now. Today’s supposed to be the celebration party, right? Shouldn’t we start eating hot pot soon?”

I urged everyone like that and managed to end the topic for the time being.

Once the celebration is over, I guess I’ll carefully read through the contents of this picture diary.
