Chapter 305
305 – [Side Story] But It’s Ok if You’re Happy
Rika Kishimoto’s secret fan club.
The beginning dates back to about 8 months ago.
It was when summer was just beginning.
Yosuke Ryusui, who had been targeted by the so-called hot kids in his class because of his small physique, was doing bread errands at the canteen that day.
Boom!
“Ah!”
Yosuke was carrying both bread and drinks with both hands, but he accidentally dropped the bread on the floor.
As I bent down to pick it up, the other bread and drinks I was holding in my arms also spilled out.
When the students passing by laughed at him, Yosuke, whose face turned red from embarrassment, hurriedly gathered up the bread and drinks.
And right then,
“Now, what you dropped.”
Among the students who were just laughing, a blonde goddess appeared.
Gorgeous fashion, blonde hair tied in a sidetail, blue eyes and detailed facial features.
A girl with the appearance of a literal gyaru offered her helping hand to the boy beneath her without expecting anything in return.
Probably from then on.
The reason Yosuke developed admiration for a girl named Rika Kishimoto.
‘There really is such a thing as a gyaru who is kind to otakus.’
Didn’t that only exist in the 2D world?
But he knew his subject very well.
There would never be a time in her life when a shabby man like her caught her attention.
So, he received help from a girl named Rika Kishimoto, who, like him, gathered together boys he had a secret admiration for and formed a group.
That was Rika Kishimoto’s secret fan club, ‘Rika Guardians’.
***
“Let’s focus on one thing and focus on two things.”
While saying that, I told the self-proclaimed fan club members to put their arms around each other.
Then, the guys looked at me secretly and put their arms around each other, and when I saw that, I crossed my arms and said.
“One.”
Then the fan club members, with their arms around each other, squatted on the floor.
“”Calm down!””
“Two.”
“”Let’s set it up!””
And then I get up again.
After repeating the corporal punishment exactly 10 times, which I had to do at retreats in middle and high school, I spoke to the fans in the low-level physical fitness fan club who were acting like they were going to run out of breath at any moment.
“Are you going to do this again next time? Are you not going to do this again?”
To be honest, I ended up like this because it was me. If it were someone else, it wouldn’t have ended with a light corporal punishment.
However, I don’t know if my kindness was poisonous or if the punishment wasn’t enough, but the fan club president said while sweating profusely.
“We will not give up until you break up with Miss Rika!”
When I heard that, I burst into laughter without realizing it.
I thought I had said enough to understand up until now, but the guy in front of me still didn’t seem to have changed his mind.
I almost raised my fist for a moment, but I held back and asked because I knew that violence doesn’t solve everything.
“Why do I have to break up with Rika? Let’s hear the reason. I’m sure you’re not selfish enough to think that you shouldn’t have a boyfriend just because you’re the person you like, right?”＜ Br＞
Then the guy who was the fan club president opened his eyes and shouted.
“We’re not claiming to be Rika’s fans for such a low-level purpose! It’s just that you’re a famous licentious person at school! If an ordinary person had become your boyfriend, we would have let you go with a smile! “
“… What?”
“Don’t underestimate our intelligence! Kim Yu-seong, do you think we don’t know that you have built a pseudo-harem at this school?!”
While saying that, the names listed by the fan club president were all people I knew.
“Karen Tojo from Class 2-A! Yukika Fuma and Kumiko Saionji from Class 3-C! Alexandria Ivanovna Romanova and Satsuki Ayase from Class 2-B! Even Nao Minato from Class 1-D! In addition, the fact that there are many other girls related to you is confirmed by informants. I already know this through the report, so don’t think about it!”
“…”
Looks like these guys aren’t as hot as you think?
Considering that he knows fragments of information that he has never told anyone before, he seems to have quite a bit of information.
But when I was lost in thought and didn’t say anything, the fan club president seemed to think he had hit the nail on the head and shouted with a fierce expression.
“I can’t leave Miss Rika in the care of a libertine like you! So, let’s break up! Before I reveal everything about your relationship with women to the school!”
I looked at the fan club president in front of me and sighed and said.
“You can’t do that. You have no right to tell me to do this or that in the first place.”
Well, the method was wrong, but the statement itself that I did it for Rika didn’t seem to be a lie.
In the first place, a person with ordinary courage would not even think of attacking me.
However, it is difficult to just let them go like this because of what they did to me.
It was when my thoughts started to get a little complicated.
“Ryu-chan? “What are you doing here?”
A person who can solve all these difficult problems has appeared like a miracle.
***
“Rika? How are you here?”
When I turned around in surprise, Rika puffed out her cheeks slightly and said.
“Didn’t I say earlier that I would call if I thought I would be late? No matter how long I waited, I didn’t get a call, so I came in person.”
“Ah.”
Only then did I realize that I had completely forgotten to make a phone call, so I hurriedly took out my smartphone and checked it.
There were definitely a few messages from Rika piled up.
“I’m sorry. Things got a little complicated.”
From noble mtl dot come
As I said that and lowered my head, Rika looked at the fan club members behind me and said, “So what’s going on?”
And I was surprised.
“Ah! That’s Ryusui from Class E!”
Then the fan club president named Ryusui blushed and shook his neck.
“Ah, hello. Miss Kishimoto.”
“Why is Ryu-chan with Ryusui?”
I sighed and explained the whole story to Rika, who had an incomprehensible expression on her face.
I came to the home training room thinking that the mysterious chocolate had been sent by Karen, and the secret fan club ‘Lika Guardians’ that had lurked in advance attacked me.
And they even asked me to break up with them for Rika’s sake.
Rika, whose expression became more complicated as she listened to the story in order, soon approached the members of the self-proclaimed ‘Lika Guardians’ who were kneeling on the floor with a stern expression.
“Is everything Ryu-chan just said true?”
Then, Ryusui, the fan club president, nodded his head obediently with an expression that it was all over.
“That’s right. Everything.”
“Why did you ask Ryu-chan to break up with me?”
“… You may not know Mr. Kishimoto, but he is a libertine. There are countless women around him. We planned this in the hope that the innocent Mr. Kishimoto would not be deceived by him and get hurt.”
After hearing his explanation her, Rika spoke in a calm voice.
“I know that much.”
“… Yes?”
To the man who looked up at her with a mesmerized expression, Rika spoke once again in the correct tone.
“I mean, Ryu-chan already knew that relationships with women are secretly complicated.”
“Then why on earth… “
“Because I like it.”
Rika declared.
“Are there any other reasons besides that?”
Then the fan club president answered Rika’s question with a mesmerized expression.
“No, there is.”
If you deny this statement here, it would be like denying what you said about what’s wrong with people liking other people.
“Of course, there are some bad rumors about Ryu-chan at school. But I know what a good person Ryu-chan is. And because I trust my insight, I confessed to him and started dating him.”
Then, one of the members behind the chairman spoke up.
“Well, of course we thought we were threatened…”
But Rika was adamant.
“Ryu-chan is not that kind of person.”
Then another fan club member spoke up.
“So, are you saying you are dating Kim Yu-sung of your own accord?”
“That’s right.”
Rika, who answered their questions one by one, put her hand on her waist and spoke with a confident expression.
“So there’s no problem now?”
Then Ryu Sui, who was looking at the ground with her fists shaking, suddenly raised her head and asked.
“Miss Kishimoto! Can I ask you one last question!”
“Yes. It’s okay.”
When Rika readily gave permission, fan club president Yosuke Ryusui asked with a trembling voice.
“Miss Kishimoto, are you happy now?”
Then Rika nodded and gave a unique sunflower-like smile.
“Of course.”
After hearing Rika’s answer to his, Yosuke Ryusui smiled, giving his thumbs up with an expression that seemed to have freed him from all his troubles.
“If Miss Kishimoto is happy, that’s okay.”
That was the end of this short commotion that originated from a small misunderstanding.
***
Rika’s secret fan club, ‘Rika Guardians’, was disbanded on the spot under the leadership of club president Yosuke Ryusui.
This is because she does not want to cause any more trouble to Rika, who has already found her own happiness.
Afterwards, on the way back home.
As she looked at Rika’s profile as she chatted away with Karen, who happened to be accompanying her, she thought about how much of a bad person I looked from a third party’s perspective.
Even if it is a harem with the permission of the parties involved, it would be strange to see a man dating multiple women based on the common notions of modern society.
Of course, since I had already decided to take responsibility for everyone, I had no intention of going back on what I said.
However, if someone has a hard time because of the choices I made in the distant future, I may change my mind at that time.
With that in mind, I was standing in front of the subway platform, waiting endlessly for the train to come in.
Suddenly, someone poked my side.
When I turned my head to see what was going on, Karen, who had been talking to Rika just a moment ago, pretended nothing was wrong and held out a box of her own.
“This?”
When I asked as I received the box, Karen scratched the bridge of her nose and answered.
“It’s Valentine’s Day chocolate. I’m the only one who hasn’t given it to you yet.”
I looked at Karen quietly, and then she smiled and said.
“Thank you, I’ll eat well.”
It seems like just yesterday I was teaching you how to cook, but now you’ve grown to the point where you can make homemade chocolate.
Feeling once again overwhelmed with emotion, I stepped onto the crowded train that arrived at the right time.
