“There was a large multi-storey car park in front of the station in the neighboring town. My mother was driving at the time and the cat, which had fully recovered, escaped through the car window.”

“This is not good.”

“Yeah, so I was very nervous and cried with my mom while looking for the cat. Cars were driving up and down in the parking lot, and I was worried that it would be hit by a car…but then…”

Kuroki looked at me deeply.

Why are you looking at me like this all of a sudden…

“A boy appeared in front of my mother and me.”

“boy?”

“The boy was carrying my cat on his shoulders, holding a wafer in his right hand and a blue bag in his left hand.”

“He’s really handy.”

“Yeah, I thought he was very handsome at the time.”

Kuroki stroked the corner of his mouth and smiled gently as he recalled.

I thought, what’s so handsome about it…

“He accompanied his mother to the neighboring town to do some errands… After returning the cat to us, he left soon after without even telling us his name. He was a man of few words and gave off a very cool vibe.”

This is cool? I think Kuroki’s sensibility is a bit weird…

“So, my other special someone is that boy. How’s that? Is that clear now?”

“Well, thank you for telling me.”

“…Is that all?”

“Oh, yes.”

As we were talking, we walked to the door of the Kuroki family’s mansion.

“Ryota-kun, if you miss me, you will regret it, okay?”

“Huh? What does this mean?”

“Thanks for the walk. It was a nice walking date.”

Hei Mu opened the door of the mansion and walked in.

“Also! I’m sending you some special photos today?”

Kuroki turned around, smiled and winked.

“Oh well.”

Kuroki returns to the mansion.

I am indeed a pervert. I cannot even say “no”… although I only realized it now.

–on Monday.

I came to school early as usual, and sat in my seat reading light novels openly.

(Yesterday I talked a lot with not only Yuria but also Kuroki…)

To make matters worse, word had spread without my knowledge that Haishan Aili and I were dating after school at Snow Tops on Friday, and I felt the murderous looks from the boys in my class.

“This guy is really amazing.”

“Has he already touched Haishan’s huge breasts…”

“Damn it, this perverted bastard.”

It seems that I have been given the contradictory title of “pervert haunted house”.

“Ryota, you look tired? Do you want me to heal you?”

“No, more than that! Why are you talking to me so naturally?”

“Because our relationship has already been discovered, it would be even more strange to continue hiding it.”

As expected, Haishan… is a bit stupid.

Speaking directly like this will make it seem like you are just socializing.

“It’s so cool~”

“Wha, what?”

“Vote for the Cultural Festival. Which one do you choose?”

“Voting for the cultural festival?”

A word I didn’t know appeared, and I couldn’t help but ask.

“Yuria said we’d decide on Monday.”

Now I think about it, I did say that at the class meeting on Friday.

“You’re going to vote on whether to open a cafe or a play, right? I think a cafe is better.”

“Café… coffee shop…”

Kaisan is wearing a maid outfit…

I couldn’t help but laugh when I thought of Kaizan’s huge breasts showing from the front of her maid outfit.

“Ryouta? Why are you smiling?”

“…Big Breast Cafe is also good.”

“what?”

While Kaiyama was confused, Yuria and Kuroki walked into the classroom together.

Haishan immediately turned around and started chatting with the two of them.

“Yuria, Rui, good morning.”

“Good morning, Ellie…were you talking to Izumitani?”

“Well, I just asked Ryouta to vote for the cafe.”

“……Yeah.”

Yuria glanced at me and sat down in the seat to my left.

Yuria is always cold in front of these two people…even though he watched a movie with me yesterday.

I stole a glance at Ichinose and saw Kuroki stopped in front of my seat.

“Hehe, then Ryota-kun will ultimately vote for the play or the cafe?”

“‘Ryota-kun’!?”

Kuroki’s “Ryota-kun” made Kaisan and Yuria react at the same time.

Kuroki Rui smiled smugly and licked her lips.

This… Kuroki, you are such a trouble! This is going to be very troublesome! ! “

“………”

Kuroki’s call of “Ryota-kun” caused Kaishan in front of me and Yuria on the left to glare at me coldly.

It was inevitable that the two of them had such sharp eyes.

Because I know the secrets of each of these three groups of beautiful girls, I have developed a connection with all of them, but I cannot reveal the secret of one of them to the other two.

So they didn’t know that I was “sharing a secret” with the other two and had a slight intimacy.

In this situation, Kuroki simply addressed me by my first name, which was a complete mystery to the other two.

The same thing happened before when Kaisan mistakenly called me “Ryota”.

(It’s natural to be suspected… This is a very bad situation.)

“Rui, why do you call him Ryouta too? You and Ryouta never spoke to each other in junior high school, right?”

“That’s true, but Airi also calls him Ryouta, so I just called him that. And the students around you will confuse Ryouta-kun if they call him that differently, so this is better.”

She is indeed a talented and beautiful genius… She was very straightforward when she made excuses.

There was no wavering expression on her face, and it almost seemed real…but I knew she was calling him that on purpose.

(Kuroki must have come up with this idea because he wanted to call me by my name in front of everyone.)

This kind of intelligence is what makes Kuroki so special…she is a perfectionist and will not miss any details.

“By the way, Yuria, you can also call him ‘Ryota’.”

“Me? Ah, me?”

“Come on, come on.”

At Kuroki’s urging, Yuria turned to me.

“Then… Ryota.”

Yuria pursed her lips and called my name in a somewhat awkward tone.

Deliberately pretending to be unskilled is also very cunning.

As a result, these three people will call me “Ryota” not only in private, but also in daily life.

“By the way, Ryota-kun, which one will you vote for? The play? Or the cafe?”

“Huh? I…I…”

Naturally, Kuroki wanted to pull me into the conversation with this small group of top beautiful girls in the class.

“Because Haishan asked me to do it, I want to invest in the coffee shop.”

“Oh, the cafe. You were indeed discussing the cultural festival just now, Airi.”

“Of course we are discussing it! Rui, please don’t doubt me.”

It seems that Kuroki doubts our relationship.

(Indeed, Haishan and I were not only studying meals, but we were also seen together at Snow Tops, so it’s not surprising that we were suspected…)
