Chapter 1917 Running into the Curious Girl

Chapter 1917 Running into the Curious Girl

Upon reaching the gathering area where the smell of their dinner was already permeating the air, I looked for Uchiyama and handed the four to his care. Finding out that they were from his class, I decided to make use of him in this situation. Of course, I instructed him not to intimidate them but to take care of them like he would his goons.

Although the delinquent looked confused as to why I was with them in the first place, I provided him with a simple explanation that I found them in the woods and it looked like their exploration went too far. They experienced an unlucky circumstance that left them mentally exhausted.

That got him curious so I let him hear an excerpt of their experience. It made him shudder in fright but I could already imagine him exploring that place too.

Maybe tomorrow, there’d be stories about their ghost adventures. Well, that’s the ideal outcome.

And for the four idiots’ convenience, I also instructed Uchiyama to not make fun of them. If he could follow my instructions, I guess I’ll find it worth having him become my follower.

If not, I have some backup plan that would leave my girls unscathed. It would also be a great reason to abandon the dogs.

Anyway, I’m positive that he’s going to follow it along with those two other idiots who started following me. Even if Enomoto has a lot of sway over other delinquents in school, he’s not here and those three should be enough to handle small issues like this. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Leaving it at that, I walked away from them to look for Juri and the girls amidst the crowd of second-year students.

As usual, I got recognized by a lot of students and those who went up to approach me could be considered my acquaintance. For example, the gamer girl from the Game Club. Surprisingly, she’s still wearing her headphones here. She even brought a handheld gaming device. It’s tucked inside her tracksuit jacket. I noticed it because it was sticking out close to her chest. Not that my eyes were drawn to it...

Anyway, I never expected her to approach me since our only interaction was during their board games and most of the time, she’s acting dismissive – especially when she’s losing.

But I guess it’s understandable. Like many others, she’s wondering why I am on their hill. When I told her that I was brought in by one of the camp managers, she accepted it and moved on, leaving me alone.

She’s kind of eccentric but I guess that’s for the best. Despite her looks, she probably doesn’t care about her looks or other people’s opinions about her. All she cared about was to have fun with her games. She couldn’t even care less about the rumors Miura-senpai picked up when she accompanied her to check out our clubhouse.

Apart from that gamer girl, those from the basketball club also found me wandering. One of them was part of the regular team in the position of small forward. In any case, just like earlier, they’re just curious about my reason for being on that hill.

Since they had nothing better to do until dinner started, they stuck to my side until I ran into another girl...

The overly curious, Otsuka-senpai.

As always, she had these brilliant purple eyes that seemed to outshine even the stars in the night sky. As soon as she recognized me, her lips stretched from side to side before almost shouting my name.

Bringing my attention back to the curiosity-incarnate girl at my side, I noticed that she followed my gaze and she’s now staring at Haruko and the other girls. In particular, Arisa and Izumi.

They’re from the same class.

Understanding that, an idea lit up in my head.

“Alright. Let me hear about it, senpai. But let’s see, can I introduce you to them? You’re my precious senior, after all.”

Otsuka-senpai looked at me with a puzzled expression and then her gaze alternated between me and the girls.

When she finally realized why I said that, twinkling eyes blinked a few times as both curiosity and perplexity mixed in them.

“Them...? Wait, Onoda-kun... Are they what I think they are...?”

“Mhm. Whatever you’re thinking... it’s correct. They’re as special to me as Kana and the others from our club.” I confidently answered, proud even, “I’m certain they’re also curious about you by now.”

“Uh. I don’t know how to feel about that, Onoda-kun.”

“Really? And here I thought you’d be ecstatic to find out more about me.”

“Normally, I would. But Onoda-kun, that lineup... I feel like I’ll be crucified by the end of the day.”

“You’re funny, Otsuka-senpai. They won’t bite. Besides, like you said earlier, they won’t be jealous of you. I mean, I’ve already mentioned this certain overly curious senior who keeps trying to make a move on me.”

For the first time, the girl reacted differently. She facepalmed and looked like she wanted to hide her face somewhere.

“Onoda-kun... you’re a bad guy. Help me out, okay?”

“Mhm. Don’t worry. I care about you, senpai.”

“That doesn’t sound reassuring...”

Upon saying that, Otsuka-senpai moved behind me as though she wanted to hide from their gazes.
