Episode 375: Intensification

The beginning of the week.

The election campaign at school is intensifying, partly because the decisive battle is approaching.

"In our school these days ..."

"W, we are better ..."

I see Nishiwaki-senpai and Kanzaki-senpai, who are in the Student Council, giving speeches every morning before going to school.

"Umm, are you Satou Fuhito-san?"

"Eh, ah, yes."

"This, please take it!!""

""Please take it!!""

At the same time, my mysterious popularity period is intensifying.

"How about some tea after school?"

"Ah, I was thinking of inviting him!!"

"That's right, that's right!! Shall we go to a nice place together?"

"No, no, with me!!"

I can't help but be puzzled by the sudden increase in popularity that is accelerating.

"No, I don't have time for that kind of thing. I'm sorry."

I turn down their overbearing invitations and head to the classroom.

"Ha~ah, you're really cheating."

"No, you should try it too. This, it's pretty tough. On top of that, they're all strangers. It's just scary if a stranger comes on to you."

Aki grumbles at me, but I object.

It's true that there was a time when I wanted to make my High School Debut and be popular with girls, but my party members are all beautiful girls, and I realized that I just get tired of it even if more people make advances on me.

"You say that in front of me!! That's it!! It's because this damned guy is powerful!!"

Aki complains to me while biting his handkerchief in frustration.

Even so, why in the world is this happening.

It's so sudden that I don't know why the popular period that I don't understand has come.

"Shia, do you know why this is happening?"

I try to ask Shia because I don't understand it.

"Because Fuu-kun is cool. But, I'm the legal wife."

"No, I don't think that's it. Also, I haven't even replied yet ..."

Shia says that it's only natural for me to be popular, but I don't think that's the case because it hasn't happened at all until recently.

And I still haven't replied to Shia. As expected, it's not good to leave it alone like this. I need to make a decision soon.

"But, there are talks going on between my parents and Fuu-kun Mama."

"When exactly did this happen!?"

When I thought so, the story progressed without permission with the parents involved.

I am so shocked that my jaw almost pops off.

"Since my parents came home."

"Isn't that from the beginning!!"

I unintentionally tsukkomi Shia at the unexpected outer moat.(TN:Basically saying the relationship progressed without his knowledge.)

At this rate, it looks like I'll be forced to get married.

It may not be a bad thing, but I think it's necessary to draw a line as a man.

"That's right, desu. Fuhito-sama is a person who is overflowing with love and justice to the point of rivaling a Yuusha. There is no way any woman in the world could leave him alone, desu."

As usual, Shia is blocking her like the other girls, but Noelle answers without even being asked.

The battle is intensifying.

However, recently, she has no intention of forcibly crossing the blockade, and it seems that she is enjoying it.

Maybe Noelle also wants to get along with Shia.

"Hmm, I don't know."

Even if I ask the two of them, I can't get any convincing information at any rate.

"I'm so popular, but I don't know why and it worries me!! Everyone should just get along and have a good time!!"

"I'm not very skilled, and I'm not really a fan, so talking to a lot of people is exhausting."

"A guy with a completely extravagant problem!!"

Hearing what I am worried about, Aki glares at me with disgust.

"Nn?"

I suddenly feel someone's gaze and look at them.

But, I can't see anything there. I'm sure I definitely felt it, but even though I felt the gaze, there is nothing at the moment.

"What's wrong?"

Aki, who sees what I was doing, asks me with a serious expression, unlike the expressions I'd seen up until now.

"No, I felt something like murderous intent."

I feel like I was being targeted from afar, but until just a little while ago, I couldn't find such an opponent within my normal range of vision.

"Again. You've been popular lately. You're getting the antipathy of the boys in the school, aren't you."

"I don't think that's what it is."

It was certainly vague, but I don't think it was the kind of pressure that ordinary people would give.

"Then it's just your imagination. Your imagination."

Aki also loosens his serious face and shakes his head.

However, the number of times I feel stares has clearly increased compared to before. What exactly does this mean.

Ah, but I'm sure it's true that the men who are interested in the girls who make advances on me hate me.

"What's wrong?"

When I look at it, Shia is sending a message on her smartphone at high speed.

"Nn~nn. I was just reporting the women to Nanamin."

"It's completely the first I've heard of that, it helps that you get along well with Nanami."

It seems that she has reported to Nanami that I am surrounded by girls.

"By the way, I've already talked with Nanamin."

"That's why she wouldn't replyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!"

And finally, the bomb.

The battle between me and Shia seems to be intensifying.
