5 girls who really, really, really, really, really stalking me

That girl is creepy (Kamuro)

It's finally over. I got a lot of attention from my classmates after a light run at a sports festival. Even though I managed to lose, I was still noticed by a lot of people. At first they were perplexed because Horikita Manabu did not run when he could, and then they realized that it was my fault. After all, as soon as I got the opportunity to escape, he did his job.

Damn, even some senpai came up to me and shook my hand, as if I was an important person in this school, even though I was just an inconspicuous first-year student. But that's not what's important right now, it's that they're everywhere. There are people everywhere who are focusing on me.

It was amazing.

I still can't believe it.

This guy turns out to be such an athlete??

Come to think of it, he's pretty cute.

Is he really the mastermind of Class D??

I've heard such nonsense from almost everywhere. But thanks to this increased attention on my person, Horikita cannot approach me with her complaints. Well, I think that has its advantages.

But, of course, it would be easy for her to catch me after the announcement of the results of the sports festival. So I went at a brisk pace. Walking around the corridors of the school, students who are still excited from the last special exam, I met the gaze of a girl.

Dark purple eyes, similar-colored hair, a white T-shirt tucked strictly under red shorts and light gray sneakers. Her gaze swept over me quite thoroughly, after which she slightly nodded her head to the side, as if inviting me to talk apart from the others.

I never thought that girls also use similar non-verbal signs, just like guys. At least, I haven't noticed that the girls I talk to do that.

She still hasn't changed her gym clothes, but I don't think there's anything to it. Anyway, I already know what she wants to talk to me about. It would be bad if she suddenly decided to follow me backwards, if I rejected her silent offer. I just hope she'll quickly say that I don't look like an athletic guy at all and it's weird that I ran with the student council president.

However, this girl looks younger than I would have thought of our senpai. Although the girls do look good, so there's probably nothing wrong with that. During this time, several people have already approached me from the third and second years, so this is just a horror that I have to go through.

So we've been walking for about a minute in silence. I wonder if she really doesn't want to talk to me in front of everyone. Well, even if that's the case, we're still moving towards the gymnasium, and I don't understand why. Moreover, there is no one around now, so we could talk right here and now.

– I'm sorry, but if you want to talk to me, isn't it time to start?

– Hm?

– I mean, there's no one else around anyway. If you have something to say, say it now, otherwise I'll just go about my business.

This can't go on forever. I just want to go to my room and relax, I need to get out of the sight of all the people of this school now so that they quickly forget about my existence, just like before.

– I'm just an intermediary, nothing more.

– Then who are you taking me to?

She hesitated for a second, but quickly turned around in the same direction we were going earlier. Does she not want to talk to me?

– I can't tell you.

After that, she moved on, and I stayed where I was. This is all suspicious. So I stayed where I was. Maybe I should just leave altogether. This will save time in any case.

– ...Uh, you're not going to go, are you?

– I'm going to. However, my path lies in another direction.

– So, means no.

She put her hand to her forehead and rubbed it lightly with her palm, as if trying to put her thoughts in order. Well, this could really be a change of plans for her, so she can be understood. I would also be unhappy if my instructions were changed. Unfortunately, Horikita likes to do such things, first giving me one task and then reproaching me for something else. Girls... you can't please them.

– Look, I'm not happy with all this myself.

She came back to me anyway, turning around and taking a couple of steps in my direction. However, from her careful and slow gait, you can tell that she is doing this, trying to be on the alert. Well, it makes sense if you have to contact a stranger.

– So why do you still do what you don't want to do?

This is the most reasonable question that a detached person like me could have. It would be another matter if I knew at least something about this girl, but I can't even say exactly what year she's been, let alone since grade. Moreover, I don't know anything about her at all, is it possible that she is just a fake pawn from the White Room? If that's the case...

– I have my reasons.

– I see.

I could get rid of it right here, but it might still raise questions. Moreover, where should I hide her body? Yes, and something needs to be done with personal belongings and clothes. There are so many difficulties.

– How likely are you leading me into a trap?

– What a funny question.

She chuckled slightly, although that expression soon disappeared from her face. She tries to appear serious and slightly apathetic, but still this armor can be pierced. In my case, I don't have any human emotions at all, and this girl is quite the opposite.

– It's not difficult to answer, am I right?

– I would say 80%, maybe more.

Well, I've been given an answer that makes me worry. However, perhaps this situation has nothing to do with the White Room, although it only makes it a little easier. In any case, someone else could have caused me quite a few problems too.

– I see, thanks.

With these words, I moved slightly forward, just in the direction we were going earlier, and then nodded affirmatively to her, answering a silent question. And then the two of us headed towards the gymnasium.

– By the way, may I ask your name?

– Why would you do that?

– I want to know the name of my executioner.

– I'm not taking you to the execution.

Maybe, but you're going to play a part in it soon, whether you want to or not. It's just that if I survive this day, I'll need to know who's being hunted in the near future.

– It's a high-probability trap, you said so yourself.

– Well, maybe it is.

She doesn't deny it. Well, that really shows that she doesn't want to follow those orders. Only good soldiers following orders. Perhaps I could try to win this girl over to my side? Although I don't even know her, so it probably doesn't make sense in our situation.

– So what do you say?

– ... Kamuro Masumi.

And yet she told me her name, just to get me off.

– Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. Nice to meet you.

– Whatever.

Then we continued our journey in silence.
