by Need_More_SleepChapter 6: Reasons For Pretending To Be A Plain Girl
When I was in middle school, I was the most outgoing of the outgoing.
But now, I had been playing the role of a plain, quiet girl. There was a reason for that.
That reason was—I was “too popular.”
It might sound conceited, but I had a pretty good-looking face, was smart, and had excellent athletic abilities, so I had a lot of qualities that made me attractive.
It wasn’t just the boys, the girls also fell for me. This didn’t just happen at my school: it spread to other schools as well.
While it didn’t escalate into a war, I was constantly bombarded with gifts and phone calls as everyone tried to get my attention.
My peaceful daily life fell apart.
My family moved far away, and I decided, “In high school, I’ll be plain and spend my time alone!”
That’s what I had planned…
“Onee-sama! You’re going with that hairstyle again today!”
“Even so, Fumino-chan, you’re still so cute♡.”
“Both of you, step away. This is my husband.”
“Huh?”
As I was currently on my way to school, three beautiful girls were chattering noisily around me.
What the heck. It’s only May, and I haven’t been in school that long, but my plan has already failed…
I put my hand on my head, feeling despair over the noisy trio.
Also, the sad thing is that my stomach and head still hurt…
“Onee-sama, what’s wrong!? You look like you’re not feeling well… I’ll solve whatever’s causing it!!”
“Indeed!”
“No… I’m fine.”
These two might actually be the cause of my headache…
“Fumino-chan, are you really okay? Do you have a cold or something?”
“Nope, I’m really fine. I’m not that weak.”
“Oh, okay!!”
You accept that just like that? Yeah, Mayuki-chan is definitely the soothing type in this group.
As I was silently affirming that to myself, Mayuki-chan had somehow wrapped herself around my right arm.
It felt like my right arm was enveloped by a giant marshmallow.
“Ahh! You…!”
“…”
Kaori glanced between her chest and Mayuki-chan’s chest, muttering “Damn it!” under her breath.
Kaibou-san was glaring intently at Mayuki-chan’s chest.
“I probably can’t win against that… but I won’t back down!”
Kaibou-san also clung to my other arm.
“Y-you guys…”
Kaori glared at the two girls holding onto my arms.
“Oh, Misumi-san. It seems there’s no place for you here… especially with that chest of yours…”
Kaibou-san flashed an annoying grin at Kaori.
“You… arrogant little… Onee-sama! Put them in their place!”
“Uh… why do I have to…?”
I’m at a loss when they suddenly throw this at me…
“Come on, let’s all get along… okay?”
I said to the three of them, my face twitching slightly.
“I’m totally okay with that!”
“Well… if my husband insists, I suppose I have no choice…”
“I’m a girl, you know…”
Somehow… I have a feeling that tumultuous days lie ahead.
