「Right? Nanba’s body’s great, isn’t it? But you know, mine’s pretty good too—」

「Hey, Kayoko! Nanba-kun’s abs are amazing! Look look!」

The boy, who had talked to Watanabe, was about to turn his t-shirt up but Watanabe interrupted him and called out another girl.

Did this boy want Watanabe to touch his abs? I’ll forgive him for using me as a pretext since I could see the look on his face as he pulled down his t-shirt.

「Whoah! Nanba-kun, are you doing some club activities?」

「No」

「Why do you work out so hard then?」

「Hobby…I guess」

I couldn’t tell her the truth.

「Muscle training alone in a darkroom while watching anime? Whoahhh….」

Why would you imagine me doing something like that!

Can’t you just imagine me having a good time at the gym!

No, she’s right! God damn it!

「Heh….your studies seem to be going well lately too….I guess that means Shiratori-san’s eyes are good. Did you work out to have these abs for Shiratori-san?」

Watanabe gently put her hand on my abs.

It was an exquisite touch that may or may not be considered as erotic.

This is how calculative she was.

The cleavage of her moderately swollen chest was peeking out of her t-shirt.

If this was my first time, I’ll definitely fall for her trick!

「I’m not dating Yui」

「Really?」

「Yeah」

「Fufufu, good」

Watanabe said so and left. She joined the group of girls nearby.

「Hey, what the heck was that! No way, you’ve already taken Shiratori and now, Watanabe….」

The boy whose name I can’t remember….ah, his name is embroidered on his jersey…Kurusu-kun is staring at me with tears in his eyes.

「It’s not like that.」

「Really!? Should I believe you!?」

「Do you like Watanabe?」

「That’s not it!」

That’s it.

Watanabe glanced back and looked at the idiotic conversation between boys. Her mouth twisted in grimace for a moment.

So that’s how it is….

I guess she’s trying to harass me to stir up things because I’m close with Yui.

She’s doing what she can to harass Yui since she doesn’t want to be the second best.

So if you can’t make her fall from her throne using the story of dating a bad guy, she’s going to do it in another way.

「Nanba’s abs….makes me think of that nigghhhhhtttt! My head hurts!」

I can hear Onimatsuri’s cry from behind me, but I’ll just ignore her.

I’m not saying she’s loose mouthed but she’s probably so stupid that she’s forgotten she’s been told not to talk about it.

-0-

Even so, I don’t wish for Yui to see what just happened.

I look around for any sign of Yui but she doesn’t seem to be here.

Is there a problem with her physical examination?

That’s possible since she couldn’t take her black tights off.

Soon, after all the students had finished changing into their school uniforms, Yui returned to class quite late.

She looks like she’s thinking but, what’s going on….?
