Why Is the Prettiest Girl in School Trying to Talk to a Loner Like Me during Lunch Break? - Chapter 35 - Question

Chapter 35: Question

“—So that’s what happened at the study session the other day.”

“I see… I understand the general situation. Thank you, Andou-kun. So, were you able to clear up your little sister’s misunderstanding?”

“Well, yeah. Though the price was having to buy her expensive pudding at the convenience store… But hey, Class Rep?”

“What is it?”

“Why did I have to report the details of my study session with Asakura-san to you?”

(Seriously, I came to school this morning and suddenly got called to the library where she grilled me for every detail about yesterday’s study session.)

“Well, even if you call it a study session, you did it at your house, right? Before being students, you’re both a man and a woman, so as Class Representative, it’s only natural I’d check to make sure nothing inappropriate happened.”

(Though honestly, I’m really checking on their progress, and I’d actually prefer if something ‘inappropriate’ did happen.)

“Well, it seems there was an accident, even if unintentional?”

“Ugh…”

(She means when I touched Asakura-san’s chest.)

“But if I lied in my report, wouldn’t that defeat the purpose?”

“It’s fine. I already heard from Asakura-san over the phone last night.”

“Then you didn’t need my report!”

“With these things, it’s important to hear both sides.”

(You two are already missing each other’s signals so badly… Without hearing both of your perspectives like this, it’s hard to understand how you feel about each other. Still, I told Asakura-san to initiate physical contact for skinship, but to actually let him touch her chest… Nice move.)

“So, Andou-kun, even though it was an ‘accident,’ how did you feel touching Asakura-san’s chest?”

(If this made Andou-kun start seeing Asakura-san as a woman—)

“Honestly, my heart was pounding.”

(Oh? This is…)

“Is that because Asakura-san is beautiful? Well, of course. Any normal boy being with a girl like Asakura-san would—”

“That’s what… I don’t understand.”

“—Huh?”

(What do you mean?)

“Andou-kun, what do you mean you don’t understand?”

“Ah, well… how should I explain this? The thing is, I’ve been a loner all this time, so it was my first time touching a girl’s chest.”

“Well, that’s to be expected.”

“So I don’t know if the feeling I had when I thought ‘my heart pounded touching Asakura-san’s chest’ was because I was excited about ‘Asakura-san’ as an individual, or if it was just excitement from ‘touching a girl’s chest’! Hey, Class Rep? Are these feelings I have love for Asakura-san? Or are they just lust? What do you think!?”

“I think you should just die.”

(Sigh… I never expected Andou-kun’s loner complex to be so severe he can’t tell the difference between ‘love’ and ‘lust’… But he should be starting to become aware of his feelings for Asakura-san, even if just a little. I want to help him understand somehow…)

“Sigh, I guess there’s no choice.”

“Class Rep?”

“Andou-kun… you don’t have romantic feelings for me, right?”

“Huh? What are you talking about? Of course not. Class Rep, are you getting full of yourself?”

“…Can I hit you?”

“Why!? You’re the one who asked!”

“Sigh… Well, fine. Then, Andou-kun. Touch my chest.”

“HUH!?”

[Bonus Story] What If: “What if Andou-kun wasn’t a loner?”

“Morning, Andou.”

“Morning, Yoshida.”

“…!”

(A-Andou-kun is here! Andou-kun is the only boy at this school I can talk to about light novels… I want to talk about ‘The Patient Who Claims to be a Doctor’ that I read yesterday!) fidgeting

“Oh, Andou-ku—”

“Yo! Andou! Morning! Another beautiful day, right! Gahaha!”

“Oh, Yamada. Annoying as always. Morning.”

“—…”

(Got cut off… Well, fine. Let me try again—)

“Oh my, Andou—”

“Ayyyy! Andou, ayyyy!”

“Ayyyy! Sawatari, ayyyy!”

“”Ayyyy!”” High five sound

“…”

(Ugh… Lost my timing again. But this time for sure—)

“An—”

“Andou~ ♪ -kun! Good morning~” bounce bounce!

“Morning, Momoi-san!”

“…” Whoosh

(Grr… I can’t go out there now… I don’t know why, but I have this bad feeling that if I approach now, some decisive ‘difference’ will become apparent… A-alright! Once Momo returns to her seat, I’ll definitely talk to him!)

“An—”

“Andou-kun! You’re on library duty, aren’t you!? What happened to your morning shift!”

“Class Rep! Crap… I forgot.”

“‘I forgot’ isn’t good enough! Come on, hurry to the library! You’re on library committee, right!?”

“Ow ow ow! Class Rep, stop! Don’t pull my ear!”

“…”

(Wh-why is my timing so baaaaaaad!)
