Chapter 186.1: Class Meeting 2

TN: Check out my new project too! The Replacement for Suicidal Undead catches up with the raw.

===

「Oi Shimokawa, tell me about that, IN DETAIL.」

Shimokawa-kun who received a cold, piercing gaze from Randou-san had no choice but to continue while making an expression as if he realized that he just stepped on a landmine.

「Well, the truth is I heard a while ago that Momokawa has been going out with Futaba-san.」

「Your source?」

「The person himself. Later on, I heard from Yamada that Momokawa himself proudly claimed that his type is a chubby girl.」

Yup, I did say that… But it was a necessary lie at that time to deceive Yamada-kun who was completely infatuated with Reina, I had to proclaim that proudly to clear the suspicion on me.

But the fact that I said 「We’re going out」 proudly in front of everyone was an act of falsehood. It wouldn’t cause a problem if our conversation back then didn’t spread…

「Haah? The heck, that’s a lie though.」

「… It’s not. I’ve been going out with Kotaro-kun since a while ago.」

「Mei-chan!?」

Why are you correcting my lie!?

What’s the meaning of this? Is this some sort of high-level tactic that is often used by girls? Or else, could it be that Mei-chan is truly… Whoops, let’s not get derailed with this off-topic discussion for now. I mean, someone please help me settle this situation!

「As I thought, Momokawa gave Futaba notes on the magic circle before the classroom transfer.」

「Shimokawa-kun be quiet.」

「If they really are going out, why haven’t they kissed yet?」

Randou-san, be quiet, please. Why do you keep asking questions that look like you’re trying to provoke Mei-chan? Do you really hate the fact that I’m going out with Mei-chan that much? Is this the so-called jealousy? Please stop giving me hopes and expectations.

「We’ve kissed, you know.」

「Lies! If that’s the case, you’d have replied immediately.」

Mei-chan, who was maintaining a composed look on her face since a while ago, had finally furrowed her eyebrows. Oh crap, she is one step away from unleashing her killing intent!

「I did it you know, with Momokawa. We’ve cleared the first base.」

Oh, sh*t… I’m screwed up, things will escalate into a ‘fight to death’ if this keeps going on.

I guess, it was time for me to make a decision.

「Randou-san and Mei-chan, that’s enough.」

I felt an extremely deep trust emanating from Mei-chan. Randou-san on the other hand might’ve had a good impression of me and kissed me before, albeit more like a forced one.

That’s why I was truly restless right now. I mean, like hell I wouldn’t feel that way. I mean, two girls who are literally right in my strike zone actually have feelings for me. Which man wouldn’t be elated by that?

Yes, I had made a 「Falling in love during dungeon capture is a NO」 vow inside but… That was my own selfish decision, after all. It had nothing to do with Mei-chan, Randou-san, and the others.

I mean, declaring that now would be equal to telling everyone that I was a virgin through and through. If possible, I wanted a chance to cross the line too… Was what I expected before I realized the bitter reality. Well, this wasn’t something that I could decide by myself.

But that had to wait until the end. Anyhow, that was something that we had to do after so many classmates gathered together like this. I mean, what was waiting for us after this was cohabitation.

「What are you talking about, Momokawa? You know that the kiss is real, right?」

「Kotaro-kun… She must be lying, right?」

「Sorry, Mei-chan. Though it’s come out of nowhere from Randou-san, the kiss did happen, and the matter of me going out with you was actually me just trying to pretend. Well, that’ll be the last time for the time being. Since I could do that, I hope everyone can do the same.」

I mean, all of them seemed like they enjoyed the scene of me almost getting squashed to death between Mei-chan and Randou-san while munching on sunflower seed. Like hell, I’m going to suffer alone. I’m gonna drag you down with me, Japanese love to share troubles, after all. [TL: NEET doesn’t exist if that’s really the case.]

「That’s why from this point forward―― I FORBID LOVE RELATIONSHIP!」

I abandoned all hesitation and shouted boldly.

「In fact, it should be decided after a proper discussion but I decided to declare it first since things seem to be getting really dangerous if we keep getting derailed from our topic. That’s why everyone will be banned from having a relationship from now on.」

「O-Oi, what’s the meaning of this, Momokawa!」

「Don’t wanna~!」

「I refuse!」

Oioioi, this policy works best for you guys, the Totem Pole Trio though. Opposing right on the go is a sign that your train of thought was too shallow. I mean look closely guys, this gathering is literally a harem of the beauties in our class. Your group is literally excluded from that.

「This is something that I noticed a long time ago, but currently, we’re the only humans in this place. I want everyone to work together so that all of us can get the hell out of this dungeon. Let me tell you that it’s much better for everyone to follow this policy otherwise… Feel free to leave.」

Good, no one is leaving. Since Tendou-kun stayed still, no one made their move.

「When I say “Everyone has to work together”, it means that we’re going to start cohabitating, boys and girls will live under the same roof from here onward. That’s why having a relationship between men and women when we’re in this kind of place, is akin to holding an oversized, ticking time bomb. For example, what’s everyone going to think if Souma-kun was having sex with either Natsukawa-san, Takanashi-san, or Kenzaki-san every single night?」

「Oi, Momokawa, you…」

「I won’t forgive you for insulting my dear big brother, Momokawa.」

「I did tell you “IF”, right? I mean, that’s literally the easiest example that we can find in this situation, right?」

I DELIBERATELY didn’t include you in that example you know. Incest is a big NO, after all.

「What do you think, Class Rep?」

「Though I understand why Momokawa-kun said what he said, emotions aren’t something that we can just suppress.」

「Uhm, if Class Rep can regulate everyone’s love relationship so that there’s no problem during dungeon capture, I don’t mind even if we don’t prohibit love relationships though.」

「Okay, let’s prohibit love relationships.」

As expected of Class Rep, she skillfully dodged the huge time bomb. She had learned her lesson that she might die from the stress if she went through carelessly with her decrees.

「Class Rep is right, there’s no need to go as far as prohibit someone’s love affair, it’s something that shouldn’t be repressed. Everyone feels the same way, right? Anyhow, what I want from everyone is to control themself, at least until we get out of this fu*king dungeon.」

And by that, I mean they should at least refrain from flirting in public. I mean, that much shouldn’t be a problem, right?

But even adults have a hard time in this regard since human emotions are rather complicated, to say nothing about us, high-school students in the peak of our youth. If we really lost all of our self-restraint in this enclosed place, I guess it wouldn’t take long for things to develop into mid-day orgies or other kinds of scenarios in H-doujin. That’s why we had to set a minimum set of laws.

「With that, I just ask you to not flirt in the public, even if it is just a simple love confession. Those kinds of things can wait until we leave this dungeon.」

「… I agree with Momokawa.」

Ooh, to think that Souma-kun would be the one to agree first was a surprise.

「Souma-kun must have a hard time in that kind of harem party.」

「My bad Momokawa, I am yet to be able to joke around with you. Be serious, please.」

Being glared at by beauty was quite mental damage and when a handsome and cool dude did that to me, it felt the same. Honestly, this calm and composed Souma Yuuto was several times scarier than the enraged him.

「Are you sure about this, brother?」

「He did say that we’ve to set a minimum amount of rules and regulations since we are going to cohabit. That’s why I agree.」

「You’re right but still…」

Hey, could it be that the reason Sakura-chan was against the prohibition of love relationships was that she wanted to cross the line with her big brother?

「Momokawa-kun, I suggest that you don’t say what is on your mind right now.」

「Roger that, Class Rep.」

In short, you must’ve arrived at the same conclusion as me right, Class Rep? So you actually don’t trust your best friend in this regard, eh?

「 Just as Souma-kun has said, we’ve to set a minimum number of rules and regulations. If some of you are against it, or should I say that some of you have already been a couple, we might be able to talk about this matter together right now, what do you think?」

I said so while scanning all the faces, but no one raised their hand.

Well, that’s only natural I guess. I mean, the idiotic couple of our class, Sakurai-kun and Hinagiku-san had already died. Not to mention that fu*king gay pair, SuginoOoyama, had already been put to eternal sleep.

So the only ones left in this place were the ones with unrequited love or the ones who had yet to confess their feeling. I might belong to both categories.

「Well then, I guess this means that everyone approves of the love relationship prohibition rule, Class Rep.」

「Yeah, it’s decided then.」

Class Rep noted down our decision with a pen and note that appeared out of nowhere. Man, I guess the title of Class Rep wasn’t just for show.

「That’s why, Mei-chan, Randou-san, please stop quarreling over me for the time being.」

「Uhm… Understood, Kotaro-kun.」

「Muu~h.」
