Ayanokouji What If: Popularity Time

V5 Chapter 6: Trash.

As the latter half of the festival began, panic began to set in. Ken had still not returned from wherever he stormed off to, and now, one of his events was about to begin. Without him, a substitution would be in order. But from who?

I was already a participant in the event, as was Hirata.

What options were there? I don't trust Koenji after the whole traitor debacle, and even if he weren't a traitor, he still would refuse to participate more than necessary.

"Guys, we need someone to sub in for Ken! Any volunteers?"

Ike hesitantly raised his hand, "I mean I guess I'm good at finding things?"

"Porn magazines maybe," hissed Shinohara.

Yamauchi nodded to what Ike said, "same here! But I'm faster than Kanji!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Eh, I'd say you both were on par with one another," said Akito absently.

Sato nodded, "both equally horrible..."

"Hey, we're trying here!"

"Now, now, stop bickering," I interrupted, "Ike, Yamauchi, figure out which of you will be substituting."

"I'll use my points, Ayanokouji-Kun," said Hirata.

Meanwhile, Ike turned to Yamauchi, "Haruki, Rock-Paper-Scissors?"

"Sure I guess."

The two went at it, and Ike ended up winning with a rock to scissors.

With Hirata transferring points to Chabashira-Sensei, Ike's substitution was made final.

The event began, and Ike did quite well in fact, scoring 1st place in his run.

Next up was me.

The event was quite simple: All you had to do was click on a button, which would then dispense a specific object or something similar to be found.

Upon clicking the button, I received the prompt: Find 10 friends!

Easy: Kikyo, Akito, Haruka, Airi, Keisei, Hirata, Mii-Chan, Sato, Shinohara, Matsushita.

With that, first place was secured for me.

As I walked into the dormitory lobby, multiple thoughts plagued my mind:

Flashback

"Horikita-San!" yelled a feminine voice.

I turned around, expecting a girl from my class to be calling me back to the festival.

Attempting to practice what Ayanokouji preached, I did not instantly send them away, but decided to at least let them speak.

"Kushida-San?"

"Hey, you know Kinoshita-San? The girl you ran into?" asked the beige-haired girl.

I nodded, eyebrow raised, "yes? What of her?"

"They had to take her to the nurse! She's hurt, and she wants you to come see her!"

"What? Why?"

"I'm not sure, but," Kushida continued, "she seems really hurt!"

"Then if she is calling for me, then I have no choice but to visit her then."

"Mhm, I'll go tell Kiyotaka-Kun and-"
