Chapter 49:
In the end, no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find the picture book of Snow White, so I ended up reading a women’s light novel called “Different World Cheat Snow White – Wake Me Up with a Kiss, Break Off the Engagement for the Strongest Me, Seriously?” recommended by Tanaka to complement Snow White’s story (why did it come to this).
Reluctantly, I purchased the first volume of “Different World Cheat Snow White” as an e-book.
“You just wanted to promote this, didn’t you?”
“Well, that’s part of it. Lately, breaking off engagements is a popular genre in the community!”
“I know that, but…”
From the perspective of the female protagonist, there were more descriptions of the beauty of men’s bodies than intense erotic scenes of the heroine, so as a pubescent pink-brained person, I found it lacking in stimulation.
(Is it erotic or not… for a high school student like me where intense erotic content is already restricted, it’s a matter of life and death.)
“By the way, Ryota-kun is going to play Snow White, right?”
“That’s because the extroverts pushed me into it. I just had no choice but to do it!”
“By the way, the prince roles are for Kuroki-san and Ichinose-san, right?”
“Yeah, so what?”
When I answered like that, Tanaka groaned for a long time.
“Those two as princes… isn’t that cheating?”
“Yeah. Unlike us introverts, their very existence is like cheating, right?”
“That’s true, but… what about the three beautiful girls lately?”
“No matter how you ask, it’s like going on dates, going on dates, going on dates.”
“They’re going on so many dates! Huh? Are they only going on dates!?”
“It seems so.”
I proudly said with my head held high.
I can only boast to Tanaka about going on so many dates with the three beautiful girls.
I want to boast to the extroverted boys too, but if I say something like that, it’s inevitable that I’ll be beaten up.
“Ryota-kun, you’ve changed. You said you would protect your virginity until you’re 30, but you’ll just casually throw it away for someone, and you won’t talk to introverted me anymore.”
“What are you sulking about, Tanaka? There’s no way an introverted otaku like me would just throw away my virginity, right?”
“But…”
What’s this? Is she jealous of me for betraying the introvert alliance?
Maybe because I boasted while getting carried away, it seems like there’s a misunderstanding.
“Hey, Tanaka. Even if I go on dates with those three, it doesn’t mean I’ll be in a relationship with any of them.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
Actually, each of those three girls seems to have someone they like from when they were in elementary school, and they still like that person. So, even though I hang out with the three beautiful girls, I can’t date any of them. Unfortunately.”
“S-So, that’s how it is… sigh.”
For some reason, Tanaka sighed.
Maybe she felt reassured that I was still part of the same group.
“Anyway, even if by some slim chance I could date one of the three, I’m not the kind of person who would ditch Tanaka. You’re my only otaku friend, you know.”
“Ryota-kun… Haha, you really haven’t changed.”
“What? I have changed! I went on lovey-dovey dates with those three beautiful girls!”
“But if you can’t date any of the three, Ryota-kun will be a virgin for life, right?”
That argument was too strong, I couldn’t argue back!
“Well, that’s fine too.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s nothing. I have to go to cram school soon, so this call is about to end.”
“Oh, okay. Thanks for everything, Tanaka. It’s easy to talk to you since we’ve known each other for so long.”
“…”
“Huh? Tanaka?”
“That’s… just the way it is, bye.”
With that muttered last word, the phone call was abruptly cut off.
“W-What does ‘just the way it is’ mean?”
I didn’t quite understand.

Chapter 50:
The morning after the roles in the play were decided.
I woke up early as usual, finished logging into the social game, and was about to get out of bed… but.
“Ugh! I don’t want to go to school!”
After a night’s sleep and some calm thinking… I really don’t want to play Snow White.
I regret not rebelling against the extroverts at that time.
But if I had rebelled at that time (especially with the rumors about me and Miyama), I would have definitely been isolated in the class.
(Worst case scenario, there might have been bullying…)
The more I think about it, the more reluctant I feel.
I don’t want my cross-dressing to become a topic at high school reunions, but accepting it back then was necessary to protect myself now.
Yes, it couldn’t be helped… but the double-casting of the prince role was announced as the final blow.
That’s what’s troubling me.
Yuria and Kuroki as the prince… I can’t help but have a bad feeling about it.
Because if it’s Snow White, that means… I have to act out kissing scenes with those two.
“Hey, Ryota, wake up quickly or your dad will eat your breakfast!”
“What!? That damn old man!”
I jumped out of bed and headed straight to the living room.

In the end, I couldn’t skip going to high school, so I fixed my bedhead while putting on leather shoes at the front door.
For introverts, not going to high school for even a day is either standing out in a bad way or being forgotten, so it’s not easy to take a day off.
Snow White will become what it will become… Miyama said she would do his best as a dwarf (big-busted dwarf), so I have to do my best too.
“I’m off… huh?”
As I left the house, rubbing my sleepy eyes, I caught a glimpse of black hair from the front gate.
It seems like someone is standing in front of the nameplate, leaning against it.
“Hehe… good morning, Ryota-kun.”
Waiting in front of the nameplate was… Rui Kuroki.
Instead of the navy winter clothes she wore until yesterday, Kuroki, wearing a fresh white short-sleeved summer sailor outfit, looked different.
“W-Why is Kuroki… here?”
“Oh my, I didn’t know your house was here, Ryota-kun. What a coincidence.”
I’ll say it again, look up the word “coincidence” in the dictionary.
“I’m sure you knew it was my house. Hey, who told you?”
“I didn’t hear it from anyone. I just noticed that there are two nameplates with the surname Izumitani nearby, and one of them belonged to an elderly couple, so I figured out that this must be your house by process of elimination.”
As if to say that all her previous statements were lies, Rui Kuroki presented a fluent deduction.
What is she really thinking! Why did she pinpoint my house!
“Hey, Ryota! K-Ku-ku, it’s Rui Kuroki! Why are you in front of my house!”
As we stood and talked at the front door, my sister, who came out later, was surprised and fell on her back.
An overreaction as if she had seen a monster.
Well, Rui Kuroki is a famous person even in our older generation…
“Oh, Ryota-kun’s sister?”
“Y-Yeah.”
As I answered, Kuroki immediately stood in front of my sister and showed a beautiful bow as an example.
“Sister, nice to meet you. I’m Ryota-kun’s classmate, Rui Kuroki. I have the honor of being friends with Ryota-kun.”
“O-Oh! Y-You’re doing well, Ryota. Well, maybe you haven’t done it yet.”
Mixing unnecessary dirty jokes, my sister hurriedly passed through the gate.
“I-I have a super handsome boyfriend at university! We do it every day! So don’t act all high and mighty, Ryota! Stupid, stupid!”
My sister, with a mental age of 6 (21 years old), ran off to university while spouting parting words.
“Hehe, looks like your sister misunderstood, huh?”
“It’s your fault!”
That was the best comment of the day.
