The Strongest Loner Redo His Youth With Unmatched Prowess!! ~In the Second Round of School Life, He Made Beautiful Girl Friends!~ - Chapter 15: No Good

Monday after the break. 

During lunchtime, the three of them, Yuito and his friends, came to the staff room. 

“Yuito-kun wants to enter the dungeon too, right…” 

“Please, ‘Akashi-sensei’! Can’t you do something about it?” 

Kirika was bowing her head to the instructor in charge of practical training, who had been swinging around a blunt weapon with a fluffy demeanor. 

“Of course, we can work something out, right?”

“Really?!” 

Akashi said casually. 

Then, she took out some documents from the desk drawer. 

“Yes. If you form a party, Yuito-kun can also enter the dungeon.” 

“Party application form… what is this?” 

“It’s exactly what it sounds like. You apply to the school saying, ‘We are a team.'”

Party. Hearing that word, Yuito’s heart raced.

(I can join a party that I couldn’t even form during my student days, let alone my explorer days!!) 

However, no one notices Yuito’s unusual behavior, and the conversation continues. 

“Why are you applying to the school?” 

“Because there are times when we need to perform party activities during school classes and events.”

“I want to know in advance who is forming a party with whom.” 

(Eek!? Party actions…) 

Hearing about party actions, Yuito’s mood plummeted. 

What came to mind was his previous school life. 

(No one to form a party with, and I remember acting with Akashi-sensei…) 

It’s the so-called “pair up” situation.

That was really tough. 

He never wants to experience it again… 

“――Yuito-san? Are you awake?” 

“Yuito-kun, pull yourself together!” 

His cheek was poked. 

The culprit was Kirika. 

“Yuito-kun, write your name!” 

“Ah, yes.” 

While Yuito was writing in his dark history, Kirika and Hakari were writing their names on the party application form. 

All that was left was for Yuito to write his name. 

When Yuito quickly wrote his name, Akashi-sensei received it.

“Yes. The party application is done now. Yuito-kun can also enter the dungeon.”

“Thank you, Akashi-sensei!” 

“Thank you very much.” 

“Thanks a lot.” 

After finishing the party application, Yuito and the others left the staff room. 

As they stepped into the hallway, Kirika spoke up. 

“Hey, hey, do you want to go look for clothes for dungeon exploration after school?” 

“…Isn’t a tracksuit okay?”

In dungeon exploration, clothing is chosen based on ease of movement and the durability of the material. 

The jerseys distributed by Reimei Academy are highly functional, making them suitable for dungeon exploration. 

“Ugh, but they’re so uncool…” 

“What’s wrong with that? It’s not like we’re showing them to anyone.” 

“Let’s show them! I want to try doing a dungeon livestream!”

“It’s not necessary.”

Hakari said decisively. 

Yuito wasn’t keen on the dungeon streaming either. 

(Talking in front of people is scary… Streaming is scary…) 

He even gets nervous during class self-introductions. 

Interacting with people on the other side of the internet, whom he doesn’t even know, is too frightening. 

However, judging by Hakari’s demeanor, it seems like the discussion about streaming will fizzle out. 

“But if it goes well, you could make money, right?”

“…”

“I’ll provide the streaming equipment, so no investment is required! It’s a great deal, right? Just for now!” 

…This might be bad. 

Hakari was deep in thought. 

(Please, just refuse the streaming. I can’t handle streaming activities!) 

However, Yuito’s prayer did not reach her.

“…Understood. If Kirika-san insists that much, I’ll go along with it.” 

It was no good. 

Hakari was lured by money and got swept into the streaming activities. 

At this point, Yuito had no right to refuse. 

Well, he did have the right, but he couldn’t exercise it. 

Because he’s an introvert. 

“Alright! After school, it’s shopping time! I’ll buy Hakari-chan’s outfit for streaming, too!”

“No, I’ll pay for my own share.” 

“No, no, don’t worry about it. You’re just indulging my whims!” 

“No way. Lending and borrowing money leads to trouble.” 

The two of them chatted cheerfully. 

It seems they are looking forward to shopping. 

(Shopping with friends… I envy that, but there’s no point in me tagging along with a girl on their shopping spree.)

Yuito was thinking about it as if it were someone else’s problem. 

“You look like it’s someone else’s problem, but Yuito-kun, you’re going too, right?” 

“Huh, I’m going too?” 

“I want to ask you in return, were you planning not to go?” 

Hakari and Kirika both had exasperated expressions. 

They both sighed at the same time.

(Wait, is it my fault?)
