The Story Of How I, A Gloomy Guy, Ended Up Surrounded By the Top-Tier Beautiful Girls In Class After A Seat Change - Chapter 87-88

Chapter 87: Rui Kuroki’s Plan

What, me… the Vice President!?

Kuroki said something outrageous, and I couldn’t find any words to respond.

“I really want to do it with you, Ryota… Is that not okay?”

Kuroki looked up at me and pleaded.

(No way! If a creepy otaku like me became the Vice President, this high school would be doomed!)

Besides, right now, I’m getting a lot of hate from the fans of the three beautiful girls in the drama. If I became the Vice President along with Kuroki… just thinking about it makes me shiver.

“I mean, I don’t think I’m cut out to be the Vice President…”

“It has nothing to do with that. I’ll be the one in the spotlight most of the time. But I still need you, Ryota.”

“But…”

“Ah! Finally found you two!”

As we were talking behind the gym, Miyama, already changed into her uniform, appeared.

“How long are you going to stay there? Let’s go to the haunted house already!”

Caught up in the sense of accomplishment from the play, I had forgotten that the cultural festival was still ongoing.

“Geez, I’ll go ahead and line up, so hurry up and join me!”

With that, Miyama left.

The two of us… I remembered that after the play, we were supposed to go around the cultural festival with Miyama and the others.

“Ryota, please think about the Vice President thing. The election is in autumn, so you can give me your answer after the summer break.”

“Oh, okay.”

“And until you give me your answer, I’ll stop sending you my selfies.”

“Wha!?”

Kuroki’s selfies… on hold!?

In other words, if I don’t decide, I won’t be able to see Kuroki Rui’s selfies…

(This is… terrible.)

Lately, it had become a routine to check Kuroki’s selfies, which she sent me before I went to bed. Kuroki Rui’s peekaboo belly, the mysterious superiority of receiving her selfies… all of it would stop. This is too harsh.

(And if I can’t see her selfies until autumn… I won’t be able to see her tanned selfies in the summer…)

I… I want to see Kuroki’s track and field uniform tan selfies. Not being able to see her tanned track and field peekaboo belly selfies is… a matter of life and death!

“Okay, Yuria and Airi are waiting, so let’s go—”

“Wait, Kuroki.”

“What?”

“I’ll consider it seriously… so, can you please not stop sending me your selfies?”

Knowing it was shameful, I begged her, and Kuroki gave me a cold smile.

“Ryota.”

“What?”

“You’re looking at me lewdly even though you don’t like me, right?”

“Wha!? Th-That’s not true!”

As I tried to deny it, Kuroki leaned close to my ear.

“Hehe… Ryota, you’re the worst.”

Kuroki whispered in my ear, smiled seductively, and walked away quickly.

She insulted me in my ear…

I’m glad she wore a skirt today (for the second time today).

Chapter 88: The Belly-Button Peek Incident

When I changed from my costume back into my school uniform in the restroom and returned to the front of the gym, the three girls were having a lively conversation.

“Seriously, Airi’s button popping off was so funny. How big are your boobs, anyway?”

“It’s not funny! Ryota saw my boobs!”

“Hehe… then we need to punish Ryota-kun later, right?”

“What kind of punishment? Spanking, maybe?”

“No, Airi. For Ryota, that would be a reward.”

“Why?”

The three were loudly having a conversation that was ruining my image (though it was my own fault). I needed to join them quickly before it got worse.

“H-hey, are you all gathered here to badmouth me?”

Unable to stay silent, I walked up to them with a calm face, cutting into their conversation.

“Ah, Ryota, you finally showed up!”

“You’re late, Ryota! The haunted house is so popular there’s a huge line!”

“That’s right, Ryota-kun, apologize!”

It felt like they were blaming me, but it was also partly Kuroki’s fault.

Still, she was acting all innocent… Kuroki really is so—

“Hehe, just kidding. It’s all because I was chatting too long. So don’t blame Ryota-kun, okay? I’ll make it up by treating everyone later.”

“Really!? You’re so generous, Rui-chan!”

“Thanks, Rui.”

Yep, Kuroki-sama indeed. She’s so good at controlling others’ emotions that she can manage everything.

“Hey, let’s go! Takoyaki! Yakisoba!”

“Wait, Airi, don’t run!”

As the two of them jogged towards the school building, Kuroki and I started walking to catch up.

“I feel bad, Kuroki. Even if it’s to make up for it, you didn’t have to treat us.”

“I’m not treating you, Ryota-kun.”

“What?”

“In return, I sent you something nice earlier, so just bear with that, okay?”

“Something nice?”

Kuroki pointed at the bulge in my slacks pocket.

(Did she send something to my phone…?)

I took out my phone as she said. There was a notification from Kuroki on Lime.

(She sent a picture… could it be?)

When I opened our chat, there it was.

“W-what!? No way!”

There were two photos sent. One was a regular selfie taken with her phone’s front camera, and the other was taken in front of the restroom mirror.

A regular selfie wouldn’t have surprised me, but what shocked me was her outfit. Kuroki was wearing the Snow White costume that I should have been wearing. In the second mirror selfie, she had unbuttoned the top to reveal her belly button on purpose.

(W-when did Kuroki get that costume, and why the belly button?)

“Hehe, do you like it? I secretly took it yesterday after school… what do you think?”

“Um… why the belly button?”

“I thought there wasn’t enough skin showing. I figured a pervert like you would be happy with this, right?”

Ugh… calling me a pervert… not bad.

Does Kuroki know about my fetish?

And sending such a suggestive selfie makes her quite the pervert too!

“Did you just think I was a pervert?”

“N-no, I didn’t.”

“It’s okay. I’m a big pervert just like you, Ryota-kun.”

“Don’t say that about yourself! You’re supposed to be pure and innocent.”

“Hehe. Then… maybe I’ll only be a pervert in front of you, Ryota-kun?”

“Huh?”

Kuroki’s remarks today were unusually bold. Could it be… she’s frustrated? That’s so… hot.

Right now, that was all I could think about.

When we entered the school building, it was already afternoon, and some classes had sold out their goods and were starting to clean up.

We decided to buy some food and eat on the rooftop. As we walked up the stairs, we looked at the stalls on each floor.

Even though I was walking with the three pretty girls, I felt more eyes on me than usual.

“Hey, Ryota! This is amazing! The third-year A-class is selling fries at half price! Let’s hurry!”

Airi, always full of energy, reported with her chest bouncing as she did.

She’s always so lively… Airi-boobs.

“Didn’t you want takoyaki and yakisoba, Airi?”

“I had a small omelet for lunch, so I want fries too! And chocolate bananas, baby castella, and—”

Airi’s appetite never ceases to amaze me. Eat more and grow bigger…

“Airi, you still eat a lot. But if we’re eating on the rooftop, shouldn’t we find a spot first? Lots of people watch the festival campfire from the rooftop.”

“But the food might sell out!”

“Come on, you two.”

Kuroki quickly stepped in when the two had different opinions.

“How about this? Airi and I will take our time buying food, so Ryota-kun and Yuria can save a spot on the rooftop. That way, it’s all good, right?”

“Wow! Rui-chan, you’re amazing!”

That’s Kuroki Rui for you, always quick on her feet… she’s not dark at all. In many ways.

“Then, you two take care of the rooftop.”

“Got it, Rui. Let’s go, Ryota.”

“O-okay.”

And then, Yuria and I headed to the rooftop together.
