The Story Of How I, A Gloomy Guy, Ended Up Surrounded By the Top-Tier Beautiful Girls In Class After A Seat Change - Chapter 221-222

Chapter 221: Ryota’s School Trip Destination Is in the Palm of Rui’s Hand

Back in first year, I had already accepted that I would live my whole life as a lifelong loner virgin gloomy otaku.

But I never imagined that in just this one year I would end up in a harem-virgin situation (massive contradiction) where every friend I made was a beautiful girl. So now I was seriously regretting that I had just randomly filled in my school trip destination and handed it in.

I walked to school with Yuria, and as soon as we reached the classroom I slumped down onto my desk with a gloomy face.

“Sigh… so during the school trip I’m gonna turn back into a loner gloomy virgin again.”

“Well, you’re still a virgin right now.”

Y-Yuria, you…

If you’re gonna say that, at least give me one of those classic gyaru lines like “Want me to fix that for you♡?”

“So where are you three planning to go for the school trip anyway?”

“Kyoto. Rui said autumn in Kyoto is really beautiful.”

Kyoto… hm? Wait a second.

The place I wrote down for the school trip was…

“Morning, Ryota and Yuria! You two are early today~”

While we were talking about the school trip, Airi also arrived at school.

“What were you guys talking about?”

“We were just saying the school trip is coming up soon.”

“It really is coming up, huh~ We picked Kyoto, right? What about you, Ryota?”

“Ryota says he doesn’t remember.”

“Ehh!? Come on, Ryota! The school trip costs money, so you have to think properly and choose!”

“S-sorry.”

Hearing it from Airi, who works so hard even though she struggles with a lot of things, made the words hit way heavier, and it made me feel even more down…

Ugh! Why did I pick so randomly that I can’t even remember where I put down!

“There there, Airi. Back in first year we never imagined we’d get this close to Ryota.”

“Now that you mention it, yeah! This year we’ve been on so many dates with Ryota that it feels like we’ve been close since first year~”
“Eh… w-well? I’ve been on tons of dates with Ryota too, so hearing that we’ve only known each other for half a year felt kinda surprising?”

In contrast to Airi’s natural airheadedness, Yuria somehow sounded like she was competing.

Why are they competing over dates with me… and besides, it’s not like those times you half-forcibly dragged me to Sno-To and Animate after school count as dates.

“Morning everyone. You all came to school early today.”

“Ah, morning Rui-chan!”

“Morning, Rui.”

While we were talking, Rui had somehow appeared without us noticing.

“So you were talking about how you don’t know where Ryota-kun’s school trip destination is?”
“How do you understand the whole situation perfectly?”

“It’s like a quiz. From just one word I can guess everything.”

Normal people can’t do that!

As expected… or rather, she’s starting to go beyond human intelligence.

“Then lend me that impressive wisdom of yours, Rui.”

“Huh? Hey Ryota-kun, isn’t that way of asking kinda rude to me? Shouldn’t it be the usual ‘Rui-sama, please lend your wisdom to this super-perverted idiot, woof!’?”

“Rui-sama, please lend your wisdom to this super-perverted idiot, woof! Haah haah.”

“Ew, gross…!”

“Ry-Ryota turned into Rui-chan’s dog in an instant!”

C-crap… even I can’t believe I reflexively became Rui’s dog!

“I always train Ryota-kun properly on our dates♡”

Even Rui is competing with the other two over the date topic… and she definitely overheard the whole conversation just now.

“But even you might not know Ryota’s school trip destination, right Rui-chan?”

“That’s true… even for me it’s hard to ‘definitely confirm’ it, but…”

“But? What is it, Rui?”

Rui stroked her chin for a moment while thinking, then finally spoke.

“Ryota-kun’s school trip destination is… probably the same as ours, Kyoto?”

“Eh… h-how do you know something like that?”

“Fufu, I wonder why~?”

Rui gave a bold smile and spoke like a mischievous kid.

Wh-what the heck is that…

“Anyway everyone, there’s a whole-school morning assembly today, okay? The student council appointment ceremony is happening too.”

Appointment ceremony… that means they’re announcing the student council members.

Himesaki and I are joining, but I wonder if anyone else is getting in…?

Chapter 222: The New Student Council Sets Sail – The Last Name Called in the Member Announcement Was……

Today there was a whole-school morning assembly in the gym, so we didn’t have morning homeroom. We all shuffled over to the gym together.

We lined up by class, and everyone’s eyes gathered on the stage in the gym.

At today’s assembly, the new student council members were going to be announced.
Since Rui had become student council president, she and the teacher in charge of the student council had the right to choose the members.

I already had a promise with Rui, so there was no doubt I was getting in, but the problem was the other members.

I figured Himesaki was definitely in too, but there was no way they were forming the council with just three people.

If they were gathering the same number of members as last year, at least one more person should be chosen.

I glanced over at Yuria and Airi standing in the class line.

Honestly, since they’re part of the three beautiful girls who are close with Rui, I wondered if there was a chance she’d pick these two for the student council…

When I asked the two of them about it earlier, it sounded like Airi had already turned it down beforehand because her boyfriend (the part-timer) is busy, and Yuria had passed because she wanted to prioritize her hobby (super-perverted anime).

So it didn’t turn into the ultimate student council of the three beautiful girls plus Himesaki.
Well, if Yuria’s huge thighs and Airi’s massive boobs were around, I’d probably get too distracted to actually do any student council work, so in a way it might be for the best.

‘Alright, we will now begin the announcement of the new student council members by the student council president, followed by the appointment ceremony. Please welcome the new student council president, Kuroki.’

The announcement from the broadcast committee member on stage instantly turned the noisy gym completely silent.

Okay, it’s finally starting.

Rui had told me to head up to the stage when my name was called.

“——Everyone, thank you very much for voting in the recent student council president election. I am honored to stand here as student council president, and to be able to announce the members who will walk this path together with me.”

After Rui gave a short thank-you speech on stage, it was finally time for the member announcement.

“So then…”

It’s coming… here it comes…

“Vice President——Second year, Ryota Izumiya!”

“…Yes!”

Vice President… I really got called.
It’s not that I doubted Rui. But I never thought the day would come when I’d become vice president.

Also, it had been a while since Rui called me by my full name.
Tension, excitement, and determination all mixed together at once.

“Next, Secretary General——First year, Nozomi Himesaki.”

“Yes.”

Himesaki’s name was called right on schedule too.
Well, Rui had mentioned before that she was thinking of picking Himesaki.

The problem was the last person… right?

The remaining open seat would probably be Treasurer based on the previous council’s positions?

There was also the possibility of adding more roles and members, but since Rui herself is way too perfect, anything else would be—

“Finally… Accounting, Public Relations, and Digital Director——”

That title sure is long.

Who on earth—

“Kanade Tanaka.”

……Huh?

Wait, hold on, did Rui just—

She said Kanade Tanaka… right?

“Eh!? Ah, y-yes!”

Kanade answered while her glasses almost slipped off once.

Heyyyy!! Why the heck did Rui pick Kanade of all people!!

And it looks like Kanade herself wasn’t told in advance or anything!?

“…That is all. Starting today, these four will begin working as the new student council. We look forward to your support.”

A huge wave of applause erupted throughout the entire gym.
It was applause full of expectation because Rui had chosen them, but… no no, no matter how you look at it!

This is weird!

Why did Kanade get picked too!!!
