Why Is the Prettiest Girl in School Trying to Talk to a Loner Like Me during Lunch Break? - Chapter 140 - Negative Image

Chapter 140 – Negative Image

“—So that’s the situation, Class Rep! Think of a good plan!”

“Andou-kun, why do you always bring problems to me whenever something happens…”

(Coming to school after the break, Andou-kun tells me about Asakura-san’s situation he learned from Momoi-san yesterday and asks ‘So do you have any good ideas?’ I wish he’d consider my position!) (Class Rep)

“I guess even Class Rep doesn’t have a good plan…”

“Andou-kun, I didn’t say I ‘don’t have a plan,’ did I?”

“Eh, then you have a good idea!?”

“Well… The problem is ‘third-years won’t support Andou-kun,’ right?”

“Hmm, is that it…?”

(In the end, the current problem is that Asakura-san’s camp is split in two, right?) (Andou)

“That’s right. Because fundamentally, the reason Asakura-san’s camp is split comes down to the single issue of ‘Will Asakura-san’s camp support Andou-kun?’ The student council president is behind it like Andou-kun says, but still, the reason third-years are siding with the president is because ‘Andou-kun’s support rate is low.'”

“So because my support rate is low, third-years think ‘We shouldn’t let someone with such low support join the student council’?”

“That’s right. If Andou-kun had to vote but didn’t particularly support anyone, would you vote for someone with ‘low’ or ‘high’ support?”

“That would be… the person with ‘high’ support…”

“Right? In other words, low support rates naturally create a ‘negative image.'”

“So third-years have a ‘negative image’ of me because of my low support rate and refuse to let me join the student council?”

“That seems to be it.”

“But then what should I do? A ‘loner’ like me comes with ‘negative image’ as standard equipment like a basic skill… I’m basically a ‘walking negative image,’ no exaggeration.”

“‘Walking negative image’? What kind of misfortune-spreading existence is that… But don’t worry. The point is to raise your support rate. If Andou-kun’s support rate goes up, it gives Asakura-san’s camp a reason to convince third-years to let Andou-kun join the student council, and since your negative image can’t possibly get any worse, the more your support rate rises, the more your image will definitely improve!”

“But the problem is ‘how’ to raise that support rate, isn’t it?”

(If raising support rates was easy, neither I nor Asakura-san would be struggling like this…) (Andou)

“Andou-kun, you’re not thinking this through… Originally, our goal is to gather more support than Ishida-kun on the final day. And in that process, we inevitably need to raise our current support rates!

Andou-kun, did you think I hadn’t already thought of a plan to raise your support rate?”

“C-Class Rep… The way you’re saying that, could it be?”

“Yes, I have a good idea.”

“Seriously! As expected of Class Rep!”

“Hehe, right? Andou-kun, you can praise me more, you know?” Melon~!

(Oh, because Class Rep proudly puffed out her chest, her usually hidden C-cup breasts are clearly asserting themselves today! This must be a plan she’s really confident about…) (Andou)

“So, Class Rep. What’s this plan?”

“It’s ‘dojo breaking’!” Melon~!

“Everyone, thanks for always supporting us! It’s the Class Rep.

Now then, what’s in store for next time on ‘Nazekanno’?”

Class Rep’s plan is to challenge clubs with many third-year members to duels!?

With the condition that if they win, they’ll support Andou-kun for student council president, Class Rep states what happens if they lose…

Next time on Nazekanno: “Dojo Breaking” – Please look forward to it!

“If Andou-kun loses, we’ll do whatever you say.”
