“To put it simply, what do you guys want me to do?”
Once we’ve told everything to both of the girls who just came back, Minami stared at me with squinted eyes. Oh oh… she's still angry…
“I’d like you and Akihisa pretend to be dating, and it must be so sweet that all the bystanders who are looking will be so angry that their blood vessels burst.”
He might have seen Minami’s unhappy expression, but Yuuji still stated his request as if nothing happened.
“I won’t do it.”
Minami rejected it casually. I can comprehend this, after all that thing happened just this morning, and now requesting both of us to be lovers, no matter how people see it, they’ll think that it’s a terrible prank.
“I beg you to help, not only Shimada, Himeji will need to help too.”
“Eh? I, I’m involved?”
“Yes, it’s not real enough if it’s just Akihisa and Shimada, that’s why I hope Himeji will play as the part of someone who is jealous of their relationship.”
In other words, Himeji-san was just a supporting actress. Actually they didn’t have to trouble Himeji-san with this, those Class F guys could also play this supporting part as well. If Himeji-san was jealous because of me, it’d be less real instead... But regarding the acting part, I’m a complete idiot, I guess I’ll leave this to Hideyoshi the veteran, I’ll just follow orders.
“You want me to play as someone who is jealous of Akihisa-kun and Minami-chan…...”
Himeji-san spoke softly as she think about the words Hideyoshi said. What happened? She seems hesitant about it.
“No matter what you guys say, I won’t accept it. You actually want me to act as this idiot’s lover, please stop joking!”
Minami still rejects it stubbornly.
“Shimada, just calm down and think. I understand it’s hard for you to do this, but other than you, there’s no one else who can play this role. If you still choose to disregard it, you’ll regret it in the future. For example, Himeji will transfer school because of this…..If it comes to that, won’t you blame yourself?”
Hideyoshi’s advice made Minami sigh reluctantly. If our class utilities worsen, Himeji-san may be forced by her parents to transfer school. Nobody wants that to happen.
It may be so, but I understand Minami’s feeling when she rejected this role.
Even so, then we can only—
“If so, as long as her partner isn’t me, then the problem’s solved, right?”
The reason Minami rejected it painfully, was because her partner was me, but she seemed satisfied with the plot of provoking Shimizu-san. If so, all we had to do was find someone to replace me.
“Eh? Why don’t we find someone else to act as Minami’s boyfriend? This idea isn’t too shabby……But, who should we find?”
“Who… I think Yuuji is acceptable.”
“Eh, are you telling me to go and commit suicide?”
“If you can’t, what about Muttsurini?”
“……I’m tasked with controlling the listening bugs.”
“Oh……Others, what about those like Sugawa-kun?”
“Akihisa, it seems like you’ve skipped me on purpose, does it mean anything?”
Hideyoshi can’t accept this role, even if I didn’t say it, I’m pretty sure everyone knows the reason.
