Chapter 1: All my Classmates are Female
"Everyone's here, right? Then let's start the SHR (student homeroom meeting)--"
The vice homeroom teacher, Yamada Maya-sensei, who introduced herself before, stood in front of the blackboard as she earnestly smiled at everyone.
She has a petite figure, and doesn't look any different than a student. However, wearing clothes that didn't quite match her body made her look even more petite. And it looked ever more out of place with her large olive green eyes, behind her hazy glasses.
How should I say it? Instead of saying that it was a disproportionate sense of 'a kid wearing adult clothes'...it was more like a kid being forced into adult clothes and it seemed that I wasn't the only one thinking like this.
"Then everyone, let's get along with each other over the next year~"
"......"
However, the classroom was filled with an awkward mood, nobody reacted.
"Now, let's move on to self-introductions. Mm, we'll go by seating arrangements."
Even though I thought that the vice homeroom teacher was a little cute when she panicked, that didn't stir me with a 'I feel that I've got to do something' kind of state of mind, because unfortunately, I had no time for that.
If you want to know why,
The reason is simple: excluding me, everyone in the class is a girl.
Today is the high school entrance ceremony, and for the first day, a new world opened up. That itself was good, something worth being happy about.
However, the primary problem is that I'm the only boy.
(This... is a lot more serious than I thought...)
It wasn't just me over-thinking it, but in fact, I really could feel the gazes of all the girls in my class.
Besides, my seat isn't preferable. Why was I placed right in the front middle row of the class? My extremely unmistakeable upper body continued to be noticed even though I didn't want it to.
My eyes turned toward the windows.
"..."
Though I sent a pleading look, the sad thing is that my childhood friend, Shinonono Houki turned her head away irritably, pretending to look outside. Such a cold reaction. Is this the attitude that a childhood friend should show after being separated for 6 years? No... Does she completely hate me now?
"...san, Orimura Ichika-San."
"Ye-yes!?"
Suddenly having my name called out, I subconsciously responded. As expected, there were snickers, and it was difficult to stay calm.
Even though it's not like I'm bad at handling girls, there's always a limit. It's similar to liking ramen and letting it be the main course, I'd get sick of it in less than 3 days. Sigh, I don't know. Besides, I never liked ramen to that extent...eh, I shouldn't be thinking about that now.
Anyway, I'm the only boy in the class, there are 29 other female students in this class, and the assistant homeroom teacher is a female as well. As for the homeroom teacher...I don't know, but he or she is likely to be a female as well. It seems that she hasn't arrived yet. What is she doing now?
"W-well, I'm sorry for calling you out so loudly. Did I startle you? Sorry-sorry! But, the self-introductions... we started from 'あ' (a) , and now we're at 'お (o)' for Orimura-san now. So, pl-please, could you introduce yourself? Co-could you?"
