About Touma-kun, Who Wants to Spend His Time Quietly, Is Liked by the School’s Madonna - Chapter 59

Touma-kun Becomes a Template in Scavenger Hunt

Translated by AmaLynne

The afternoon competitions will be a scavenger hunt, a gluggle-butt clown race, and a giant ball rollerball.

I’ll be competing in the scavenger hunt, men’s and women’s mixed relay, and that’s it.

But first, something I want to see…but don’t want to show starts.

Yes, it is time for cheerleading by the cheerleaders.

Cute girls hold bonbons and perform spectacular dances.

「「「Woooooh――!!」」」

The wild voices of those bastards rang out!

No wonder, of course, Aya is the cutest.

But many girls are good-looking.

Just looking at them is a real feast for the eyes.

It’s a tremendous excitement…except that I’m a mixed bag.

◆◇◆◇◆

Then Aya comes running up to me after the dance.

「T-Touma-kun! How was it!?」

「I like your cute face, your legs, your belly button, and your ponytail…」

「…ehehe, I’m so happy…I worked so hard because I wanted Touma-kun to see it, okay?」

What kind of man would be able to put up with being told this by his beloved girlfriend?

No, there is no such guy, if there was, it would be a crazy guy.

In other words…I hug her unconsciously.

「Huh――!? T-Touma-kun! Ah, um! Your family is watching too!」

「No. Let me hold you. No?」

「I-It’s not that I don’t want to…ehehe.」

I was getting a lot of yelling from people around me, but I didn’t care.

I hugged Aya until I was satisfied…

◆◇◆◇◆

Now it was time for the scavenger hunt.

I get ready and get in position.

What? What happened after that?

Shinji-san came and slapped me as hard as he could.

I would appreciate it if you don’t disturb me at all.

「And then the pistol goes off!」

「Wooo――!!」

I’m the first to reach the box with the assignment in it!

Namenayo! This is the guy who beat the track team!

「Whatever the assignment, I’ll do it! What is…? Such a simple assignment?」

Kukuku…This is the perfect assignment for me right now…

It will be a good showcase for the people around.

Having understood the assignment, I go to Aya.

「T-Touma-kun? W-What’s wrong? You look so serious…」

「Aya――!! I love you――!! Please go out with me!」

「…..Eh? Huee――!? W-W-We weren’t dating――!?」

「Ditzy!! …No! Not that! It’s the assignment! It says to confess to the girl you like and bring her!」

「…this, this, everyone’s here, but, ugh, I’m so happy…!」

「Aya! There is no time! Excuse me!」

「Hyah!? Touma-kun!?」

I carry Aya in my arms like a princess, walk back to the assignment point, and then start running again!

「Oops! Yoshino! The assignment is…obvious! But still, he’s fast! There’s no way to describe the man who’s coming now! He seems to be in love with her too. Something tells me that they want to take this one step further. Eh? Is that him? He’s my best friend.」

…AKII! You’re the one who’s broadcasting the afternoon session live!!!

「Yes, he’s a very nice guy. Some people still don’t admit it, but look at her face! The way she hides her face with those two hands in shame! And yet, the trust with which she’s entrusting herself to him! Isn’t she in love with him!? What? Me? I’m the student council president. Hmm? How do I know? Oh, that’s what I mean. I have a bad relationship with him.」

……You too! Sayuri――!!

「Touma――!! I’ll give up on you――!!」

「Touma――!! Thank you! Thanks to you, I woke up!」

Asuka and Tomoya? …It looks like you’ve got it all worked out.

I’m not sure if I’ve atoned for my wrongdoing a little bit with this.

「Gahaha! Reminds me of the old days!」

Oh dear…it’s all thanks to Aya, isn’t it?

If it weren’t for Aya, I wouldn’t have gotten involved with those guys again.

I have to thank Aya for giving me the courage to get involved with people again.

It’s a bit embarrassing, but I’ll make it clear.

I crossed the finish line in the first place, with Aya in my arms as a princess.

「Aya? Are you okay?」

「y-yes…I’m so excited…」

When I put Aya down, Sayuri turns the microphone toward us.

When did this happen! You again!!!

「Yes! Yoshino-san! I’m going to check your assignment! …To confess to the girl you like and reach the goal together! Yes, sir! Certainly! You have cleared this difficult task! First place! Congratulations!」

「Thank you.」

「So, by the way…what attracted you to her?」

「Yhess!?」

「I think we all know that she has excellent looks. Of course, I don’t deny that I like it. But…I was more attracted to her kindness than that. I was a very unsympathetic person. For one reason or another, I put up my walls and was unfair to my friends who cared about me. And I was afraid of getting hurt. Her kind heart melted my heart. I would have regretted it in the future if I had not repaired the relationship with my friend. It is not an easy thing to restore something that has once been broken. However, she gave me the courage to do so. Aya, thank you. Thanks to you, I am friends with these guys again.」

「Touma-kun…yes! Me too!」

「Touma…Aya-san, thank you!」

「Aya-chan――!! Thank you――!!」

「Shimizu-san! Thank you!」

「Gahaha! Thank you!」

「Touma――!! All the best from now!」

「I don’t get it, but I’m impressed!」

「It’s great to be young!」

「Reminds me of the old days!」

The audience applauded!

After that, Aya took me out to a deserted place.

「I don’t know what’s going on anymore…」

「I’m sorry, I’ve been meaning to tell you. Because of Aya, I was able to have the courage to reconcile.」

「Touma-kun…ehehe, I’m so glad. Even I can help Touma-kun, can’t I? It seems like I’m the only one who gets a lot of things from you…」

「What can I say…I’m always here to help. Let me tell you…I love Aya. And I want the girl I love to be proud of me.」

「Touma-kun…」

I kissed Aya gently as she closed her eyes…
