When the girls allowed our entry again, most of the boys began looking around them as if trying to gauge the results. However, none of the girls let out a squeak about who came out on top.
Ogawa looked too confident though. Compared to how he was these days, the cowardly idiot was projecting a huge smug while looking at me.
It’s as if he’s looking at me as his rival and he’s already declaring himself as the victor.
He looked more of an idiot by doing that. Oh, how I love to slap his face with reality again.
As for the other boys such as Fukuda or Sakuma, they also cared about the results just that, they were not that keen on their chances.
Well, judging from my girls’ proud and knowing smiles that they showed me after re-entering the room, it’s more than a confirmation of how I placed in that poll.
The following period passed peacefully but the boys’ anxiety to know the results grew bigger.
In the end, Yamada couldn’t hold it in anymore as he stood up and asked the girl next to him.
However, he was shot down completely with one phrase. “Sorry, you’re not in it.”
And that dispelled the heavy atmosphere created by them, everyone laughed at the depressed Yamada. Those the same as him lost their courage to ask while the girls were enjoying their suffering.
In the end, Chii and her gyaru friends enlivened the class more by walking to the teacher’s table and hosting a guessing game while we were waiting for our 7th-period teacher.
All the girls who knew the result hollered at us to guess how many votes we received.
As someone who’s still disillusioned with my Classmate A status, when my turn came, I wrote zero on the blackboard.
Yep. I received simultaneous boos by doing that. Someone even shouted, “I don’t know if that’s obliviousness, confidence or arrogance.”
With my thick face, I acted embarrassed while scratching my head upon hearing that.
When I returned to my seat, Satsuki was, as usual, annoyed by that act of mine while Aya happily giggled. She found it amusing.
Ogawa confidently strode forwards and wrote five.
When everyone saw that, he received applause. However, that kind of applause was more of a mocking one than cheering for him.
Being the deluded guy, he received that applause with his chin slightly raised as he proudly returned to his seat.
Nami facepalmed at that. Hina shook her head. And Saki was among those who applauded.
Well, the boys also thought that the ‘main protagonist’ would receive that many votes so most envious appeared envious as they looked at Ogawa.
Fukuda humbled himself by only writing three while the rest including Tadano, Sakuma, Taku and the depressed Yamada either wrote one or two.
Only I was shameless enough to write zero…
There were sixteen votes so they’re rather optimistic to at least get one. I understood that but with the results already determined, let me at least cling to my hope of going back to being a nobody. As if that’s easy.
I’m too far gone. But still, I refused to believe that I would be popular enough to reach the Campus-level
Once everyone’s done with it, Chii moved on to the next segment. Judging whether our guess was close to the actual result or not. She didn’t judge it by specific number but only marked it with ‘O’ or ‘X’. O means it’s at least 2 votes close while X means it’s way off the mark or they got 0.
Through that kind of judgement, it’s still hard to make out who came out on top.
However, because I chose 0… the ‘O’ mark on my name was painfully glaring.
… What I did backfire again. I got the most attention because of it.
Aya’s giggling transformed to full-on laughter while Satsuki also flashed a mocking smile while calling me ‘deluded idiot’.
Nami, Hina and Saki were all laughing from their seats while Chii, who still had her gyaru persona, especially went to my desk and tapped my shoulders with pity while saying, “Too bad, Onoda-chi. You’re totally more popular than you thought. For real. Am I right, girls?”
Starting with her gyaru friends who quickly echoed her words, the rest followed suit.
I guess it’s time to accept this. There’s no escape to popularity. The more I try to lay low, the more I stand out.

After school, I was on Cleaning Duty again. And coincidentally, Satsuki was also assigned for the day. Due to that, I got the chance to walk her to the Gymnasium.
Satsuki and I worked quickly just so we could have a chance to spend time together without being deemed late by our clubs, even doing the work of two others.
“Don’t hold my hand, idiot. We’re out in the open.”
Satsuki pulled her hand away from my grasp when we reached the turn that leads to the open fields of the various athletic clubs located behind the school buildings.
Looking at her putting her hands together before putting them close to her chest, I already lost the motivation to tease her by pointing out that she’s the one who searched and grabbed ahold of my hand as soon as we left the School Building.
“Then I’ll wait until we’re in private. I’ll do more than just hold your hand.” I said in a rather suggestive tone.
Upon hearing that, Satsuki flinched as she took a step to the side, creating a gap between us. She rolled her eyes and turned her head to the side. “This pervert. Who told you I’ll let you do that? I won’t be happy about that.”
She harrumphed and quickened her pace.
Naturally, I followed suit and matched it, not letting her widen the gap between us.
It’s been a while since I walked with her to the Gymnasium like this. Even though she’s acting like a tsundere again, Satsuki couldn’t deny how happy she is from the smiles and affection-filled gazes she’s throwing in my direction.
A while later, our steps returned to normal and we finally reached the point where we could be a little closer without the risk of being seen.
We already reached the side door. This should be where we’re going to separate. However, the two of us just couldn’t let this moment pass. It’s the reason why we quickly finished our Cleaning Duties, after all.
As stealthily as possible, I reached for her butt and gave it a little squeeze before slipping my hand to her waist.
I guided her away from it and into the opened Gym Storehouse. The same place I cleaned with Rae before. After what happened with Orimura-sensei, we already learned our lesson to pick a less risky place. And somewhere we could properly spend our special time together.
As soon as we stepped in, Satsuki’s tsundere traits kicked in once more. “Idiot. Which part of ‘I’m not happy’ did you not understand’?”
However, her words and her actions were too different from each other… She slid the door close and stepped in front of me. She’s biting her lips while looking at mine hungrily.
She’s trying to restrain herself, alright. I guess it’s my job again to kickstart things. My arms wrapped around her back and pulled her close to me.
“The part where you’re not being honest again…” My answer came quickly and it was done so in a seductive whisper after closing in to her ears.
Her whole body seemingly shivered from it.
Satsuki put on an annoyed expression. However, she’s already at the point where her character is about to break. While biting her lips, she grabbed me by my collar and returned a whisper.
If someone would see us, it wouldn’t appear to be a lover’s spat but more like a bully and the bullied. She’s half a head taller than me, after all.
“… You idiot. Do you know how much I miss you?”
“I don’t. Can you show it to me?” I pulled her even closer before guiding her further inside the storehouse.
After finding the same mattress I used with Rae before, Satsuki and I quickly lost ourselves with each other.
It’s been a while so I made sure to properly make her feel good with the help of my hands, mouth, tongue and especially my manhood that was already dying to be buried inside her.
“… Inside, Ruki, I want you inside me.” Satsuki lustfully whispered to my ear.
While I revel at her mesmerizing beauty that’s also sparking her sexy figure, Satsuki, half-naked before my eyes, welcomed me once more.. Her eyes filled with both lust and affection.
