Volume 1 Chapter 25 Anyway, It Seems Like The Boy In The Front Seat Doesn't Like Me, But I Might Be Able To Get Along With The Otaku Girl
Summary of the previous chapter: Video shooting and posting with Nakagaito are going very smoothly.
Now, the video posting that I'm doing with Nakagaito is going very well.
It seems like it was featured on some summary website, maybe because the content of the videos was relevant to the season.
It might also be because Nakagaito is simply cute.
If the number of subscribers exceeds 1000 and the number of video views exceeds 20,000, it will probably earn around 1000 yen.
Maybe someday, I can make a decent income from it.
Well, I don't think the path to becoming a successful YouTuber is easy.
By the way, maybe I should ask Nakagaito about her birthday.
"Oh, by the way, when is Nakagaito's birthday?"
"My birthday is on September 15."
"Got it, I'll make sure not to forget."
And I write Nakagaito's birthday in my planner.
"You're really diligent about things like that... By the way, when is your birthday?"
"I was born on October 10."
"Oh, that's quite close to mine."
"Yeah, now that you mention it, it is."
If things continue like this, Nakagaito seems unlikely to do anything to hurt Namiki-san. I feel relieved.
I don't have the social skills to handle jealousy from girls, and I should start supporting the somewhat isolated Namiki-san soon.
And tomorrow is the day for the Home Economics Club activities.
Come to think of it, what will we do in the Home Economics Club tomorrow?
They said it would be centered around cooking, so we'll probably be making something to eat again.
I decided to ask Osaragi-san through social media,
[What are we doing for tomorrow's club activities?]
Osaragi-san responded promptly,
[Hmm, I haven't really decided. Do you have anything in mind that you want to make?]
[Alright, how about bagels this time? They don't need much time for fermentation.]
[Bagels, huh? Yeah, that sounds good. So, let's go with making bagels tomorrow.]
[Understood. I'll also let Saikachi-san know.]
[Got it.]
And so, just like before, after informing Saikachi-san, we chatted for a bit and then went to sleep.
...
...
The next morning, as usual, I, Hirose-kun, Gouriki-kun, Saikachi-san, and Shinonome-san were chatting.
"Good morning, everyone."
"Good morning. I heard that the Home Economics Club is making bagels today. It's my first time making bagels, so please teach me again."
When Saikachi-san said this, with a friendly smile, Shinonome-san giggled.
"Hey, I'm looking forward to eating something yummy again."
"Don't you want to help out a bit, Shinonome-san?"
"I'm just here for eating."
While saying that, I heard someone sigh from the front row.
"Ugh, those lovebirds are all cozy from early in the morning. Besides, why isn't it me... I should be the main character, right?"
Saying this, he stood up and left the classroom.
I have no clue what he meant; maybe he's going through some chuunibyou phase?
"I don't think we're really acting all lovey-dovey."
When I said that, Hirose-kun smiled awkwardly.
"Well, to an onlooker, it might seem like you are."
Gouriki-kun nodded along.
"I think so too."
In response, Hirose-kun attacks.
"Well, I think Gouriki-kun is mixed in with the lovey-dovey too."
"Huh? But I'm a guy, though."
"Because I'm Hata, is that it?"
I said that, and the classroom fell silent for a moment.
"Sorry, just slipped."
When I said that, Shinonome-san made a joking remark.
"Ah, it was so cold, I thought I'd freeze to death."
While we were saying such silly things, the bell rang, and everyone returned to their seats, including the guy in the front row.
I think his name was Haga Kaito.
Well, I don't really expect to get along with all my classmates, but it's a bit awkward to be disliked by the guy in the front row.
But, since it feels like he's hostile to me, it would be counterproductive to talk to him now.
I think it's better not to interact for a while in these situations, maybe?
[Confirmed increase in Hate Value of the Reverse Reincarnation Target α towards the Reverse Reincarnation Target β. Attention to the actions of Reverse Reincarnation Target α is required.]
What's that? It feels like I've heard that somewhere before...
Anyway, I feel like there's a big difference between being liked and disliked by someone of the same gender, but there's nothing I can do about it.
There are some people who are envious of being able to get along with both genders.
Anyway, it's lunch break.
I was thinking of going to the student cafeteria or the school store for lunch, but as I was about to leave the classroom, I noticed a girl writing something in her notebook.
"Is that Agatsuma Zenitsu from Kimetsu no Yaiba? The anime just started, right?"
"Huh!?"
She must have been focused on drawing because she finally noticed that I was looking at her after I called out to her.
"Oh, um, um..."
"Yeah? By the way, that's a really good drawing. I'm not good at drawing, so I think it's amazing."
"Amazing, you think?"
"Yeah, um..."
I tried to remember her name that I heard during introductions.
"Is it Shibata-san?"
"Yes, I'm Shibata Mayuri."
"Do you read the manga too?"
"Oh, yes, I also read the comic in Weekly Shonen Jump."
"I've been finding recent works like 'Kaguya-sama: Love Is War,' 'Kingdom,' and 'The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You' in the Young Hop genre interesting."
"The Kaguya-sama anime, it aired in the winter season, right?"
"Yeah, exactly! That scene with the fireworks in the final episode was fantastic."
"I think so too. If something like that happened in real life, I would definitely fall in love."
"Oh, by the way, I'm Hata Akihiro. I mentioned it in my introduction, but I like reading manga and light novels, so it's great to have someone in the same class with similar interests."
"Actually, I do too. It seems like most people around here don't watch anime."
"Oh, sorry. At this rate, I'll miss lunch, so let's chat again later."
"Yeah, sure. Well then, see you."
Even among otaku, there can be differences in specific preferences, and sometimes conversations may not align perfectly. It's good that Shibata-san and I seem to have common ground.
Hello, we have other project about someone who has returned from an isekai. The main character is a hero who has defeated the Demon Lord. However, for some reason, the human-demon war has resumed and will take place in the MC's original world. The MC, unaware of this, meets a Saint from that world and asks them to join the war. But what does the MC say? They refuse. Is it because their love was rejected by the princess when they adventured together in the past or are they simply fed up? And are the MC will join later?
