My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As Expected

I've already entered high school, I can't live like that anymore!

I've learned to put on makeup, I've learned to match my clothes properly, I can finally break away from my past self!

She pushed open the door and entered the classroom, a big, energetic smile on her face, "Good morning, everyone!"

The noisy atmosphere in the classroom paused for a moment, and a few people looked over with strange glances before quickly looking away.

Kazue Kuraki's smile froze for a second. She pulled her good friend's hand, "Misa, what's going on?"

She deliberately raised her voice and put on a strong facade, "As soon as I entered the classroom, I felt the atmosphere was strange. Did someone badmouth me behind my back while I was gone?"

Misa gave an awkward smile, "No way..."

She pulled her hand away, "I need to go to my club. We'll talk later."

Kazue walked back to her seat with a blank expression.

As soon as she sat down, feeling lost and confused, she heard hushed voices from the boys' seats next to her.

"It really wasn't me... Why would I be so bored!!!"

The speaker was Yuji Yoshida, tall and a member of the track and field team, holding considerable right to speak among the boys in the class.

In the past, for most matters in the class, once the two of them set a direction, there were rarely any objections.

Since entering high school, Kazue Kuraki had, with Yuji, quickly unified the various small groups in the class.

So, what was happening now?

The boy next to Yuji leaned back lightly in his chair, a sarcastic smile on his face, "I actually think it's exactly something you would do, Yuji. After all, you boasted a few days ago that you'd conquer Classmate Nishimiya in less than a week, only to be rejected at light speed?"

Yuji's brows furrowed, "Fujii, what do you mean???"

Fujii was a member of the school's piano club. He was fair-skinned and handsome, the type of pretty boy girls would like. Of course, he was also the effeminate type that the tall Yuji couldn't stand.

These two never got along, but Fujii usually had some regard for Yuji's fists.

What was going on today?

Fujii crossed his arms, his expression contemptuous, "While I never thought you were a good person, Yuji, I never imagined you were this malicious. Classmate Nishimiya is truly pitiful."

Nishimiya?

Yuji could no longer tolerate the mockery and stood up, punching Fujii directly in the jaw!

The homeroom teacher rushed over upon hearing the commotion. At this time, Fujii was still clutching his swollen jaw and continuing to provoke.

"Yuji Yoshida and Kazue Kuraki framed a classmate for their own selfish desires. Sobu High School cannot allow such scum to continue to exist, teacher!"

The classroom was in chaos.

At this moment, Kuraki's phone vibrated slightly. It was a LINE message from Misa.

Misa: "Don't worry about anything else, Kazue, go check the Campus Forum quickly!"

Kuraki quickly clicked into the Campus Forum. The top trending post on the homepage, with its heat indicator glowing red, almost made her face contort with anger.

<Let's talk about Class 1-D, a class that makes you laugh out loud>

"I am a Disciplinary Committee Member from a certain first-year class. A few days ago, I was called to a meeting because of the Theft Incident in Class 1-D. Both Musashi Committee Member and Senpai Miura received official appointments from the school for a thorough investigation.

At the time, everyone was discussing it heatedly on the forum, but I just wanted to laugh. A few days ago, you, Kazue Kuraki, were sarcastically posting on Twitter, saying '[Recently, a guy who thinks he's a tragic heroine has joined our class. No way, no way, you don't actually think all guys like that type, do you?? That's truly disgusting!]'

Then a few days later, you tell me Kuraki's money was stolen? And it was stolen by the new transfer student??

What a coincidence, hehehe.

By the way, you still haven't deleted that tweet, hehehe.

Everyone in the first year is more or less aware of Kazue Kuraki's subtle schemes, backstabbing, and petty jealousies. I won't list them all out. Next, I'll talk about someone else.

Yes, you, Yuji Yoshida.

Very good, very excellent, your skill at flirting is number one in the world.

I still don't understand why Yoshida targets Nishimiya. He's been sarcastically posting with Kazue Kuraki in class every day. It's not like it's your money that was stolen, why are you so enthusiastic?

After much thought, I have rigorously ruled out the possibility of Yoshida retaliating out of embarrassment and seeking personal revenge.

After all, Yoshida is so understanding and selfless. Although he bragged among the boys that he could easily win over Nishimiya in a week, he was rejected, turned red-faced, and gritted his teeth, telling Nishimiya '[Just you wait]', but of course, he wouldn't do something as deliberate as framing her.

I believe him, hehe.

Kuraki lost a few thousand Yen. I heard that when the money was first lost, Nishimiya was forcibly searched by Kuraki. She dumped everything out of Nishimiya's bag, but still found nothing.

I guess that must be because Classmate Nishimiya has Doraemon's Dimensional Pocket.

Otherwise, could it be that the thief wasn't Nishimiya? Or maybe Kuraki didn't even lose any money?

And if it wasn't Classmate Nishimiya who did this, then it could only be someone else [sad].

There are so many people in Class 1-D, it's impossible to guess.

So it's impossible, absolutely impossible, hehe."

Good heavens, after reading this entire post filled with "impossible" and "hehe," Kazue Kuraki's blood pressure soared.

Kazue Kuraki finally understood why the atmosphere in the classroom felt so strange when she entered school today.

Because now, Yuji Yoshida and she stood on the suspect's platform with Nishimiya.

This post didn't say a single word about what she and Yoshida did, but the suggestive text was enough to ignite anyone's imagination and conjure up a dramatic scene in minutes.

And gossiping and imagining were always the most anticipated things for students drowning in the endless purgatory of studying.

Every word of this post was a heart-piercing attack!

This post currently occupied the top trending spot on the Campus Forum. It could be said that in this short time, about half the school had clicked in to read it.

Not only did they finish reading, but they also freely posted comments on the forum, anonymously and under their real names.

[Kazue Kuraki... not surprising. I heard about her many deeds when she first enrolled.]

[First-years are really something. They manage to stir up so much big news every year. Seniors express their admiration.]

[Yuji Yoshida is the one who's truly amazing. Do you really think the school is his harem and that whoever he chooses as his girlfriend cannot be refused?]

[I'm a student in Class 1-D. I'll anonymously say this in secret: what do these two think they're doing with our class? Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish??]

[As a fellow student in Class 1-D, I silently say that Classmate Nishimiya is truly pitiful. But if I say these words in class, I'll be bullied too QAQ]

[So, did Kazue's money get lost or not? If it did, who was it?]

[Could it have been someone close to her? After all, if you're not familiar with Kazue, you wouldn't know she keeps money in her schoolbag.]

Kazue Kuraki trembled with anger.

Did her wallet go missing or not, didn't she know herself?!

This was Framing!!!

She slammed the table and stood up, pointing her finger at Shoko Nishimiya, who was sitting in the back row.

"Shoko Nishimiya, you wrote this post, didn't you???"

Shoko Nishimiya looked up in confusion when she was pointed at.

Even with her hearing aid, her hearing couldn't keep up with Ordinary People. It was already difficult for her to hear others when she concentrated, let alone when she wasn't paying attention at all.

She pointed at herself, her Expression a little timid.

Meaning, did you need something from me?

Kazue Kuraki's anger surged towards Nishimiya. Although she knew it was unlikely, if this little mute had such sharp writing skills, cunning, and scheming, she would have backed down long ago.

"Stop pretending!"

She shoved her chair away and strode over, her teeth gritted, "The first day you transferred, I knew you weren't any good..."

"Classmate Kuraki!"

Someone stopped her.

Iroha Isshiki blocked Shoko Nishimiya's path. "Yuji was just sent to the disciplinary office for fighting, and you want to get a warning too?"

Kuraki grew even more indignant. "Iroha Isshiki, are you so eager to step all over me?"

In any group, there are only one or two people with the Right to Speak. Once the King and Queen are decided, anyone else who stands out slightly is seen as a potential competitor.

Iroha Isshiki was a renowned beauty among the first-years, popular throughout the entire school. In the past, after Kuraki and Yuji joined forces to unify the class order, she had considered Iroha her primary competitor.

However, Iroha Isshiki had always remained neutral and avoided giving anyone leverage, so Kuraki rarely had a chance to confront her.

But precisely at this moment, she stepped forward.

Yuji Yoshida, who was being disciplined, and Iroha Isshiki, who suddenly switched sides, along with classmates who were starting to distance themselves from her, all these sudden changes left Kuraki somewhat dazed.

It was just one post, how did things turn out like this?!

She looked at the other people in the class, but most of them averted their gaze when their eyes met hers.

"Classmate Kuraki, I advise you not to try bullying Classmate Nishimiya again," Iroha Isshiki said with a slight smile. "I will not allow such malicious incidents to happen in our class again!"

Hehe, it's as if the person who turned a blind eye to everything that happened to Nishimiya two days ago wasn't you.

"Opportunist Isshiki, how dare you say that?"

Isshiki, called an Opportunist, didn't get angry and smiled slightly. "I only learned today that Classmate Kuraki has done so many excessive things."

Seeing Kuraki being attacked, her Good Friend Misa finally couldn't help but stand up and said in a small voice, "Everyone, stop arguing, class is about to start."

She walked over and pulled Kuraki back. "Stop arguing, Kazue, calm down first..."

Iroha Isshiki calmly comforted the still-dazed Nishimiya a couple of times before returning to her seat.

Although she appeared calm on the surface, she couldn't hide her Frustration in her heart.

Iroha Isshiki wasn't a malicious child, but she wasn't a hot-blooded, righteous fool either.

Of course, she didn't want a kind, beautiful, and lovely Girl like Shoko Nishimiya to be wronged, and she was willing to help Nishimiya, but only if it didn't harm herself.

Regarding the incident that suddenly erupted in Class 1-D, she had thought about it all night but couldn't find a feasible solution, which was why she sought help from the Service Club.

After all, Kuraki's Wallet Lost was truly nowhere to be found, and if the Lost Money's whereabouts couldn't be traced, Nishimiya couldn't clear her name.

Iroha Isshiki even vaguely understood that even if Nishimiya's suspicion was cleared, it wouldn't significantly change her dire situation.

And this post, which was a stroke of genius, became a sharp arrow to break the deadlock at this moment, shooting from a direction Iroha Isshiki could never have imagined, almost killing two birds with one stone, no, four birds!

First, it cleared a large part of the suspicion from Shoko Nishimiya's name to some extent.

Second, by spreading the suspicion to the entire class, the result of decentralizing the chain of suspicion was that the previously solidified small groups in Class 1-D had now shattered, allowing Shoko Nishimiya to integrate better into the class.

Third, Yoshida and Kuraki's right to speak was significantly weakened, and those who accepted her would no longer be classified into the class's isolated circle.

Fourth, finally, although Yoshida and Kuraki's past social circles were greatly fractured, they were not completely broken. As long as I am still in this class and dislike people like Kuraki, I must build a good relationship with Classmate Nishimiya.

Because Shoko Nishimiya simply exists, it's like a constant, emphasized reminder to everyone: how excessive Kuraki and Yoshida were.

Everyone was afraid of becoming Nishimiya.

Iroha Isshiki inwardly exclaimed, "Good guy."

It was just a post on the campus forum, yet every word was a silent killer. The interpersonal relationships of the entire Class 1-D were being reset, and the entire school seemed to be acting according to the will of the poster.

---Terrifying!

A complete consequentialist genius, a born schemer, a genius at manipulating people's hearts. I had no chance of winning at all!

If nothing unexpected happened, the cause of all this, the Money Loss Incident, would also come to a smooth conclusion.

Iroha Isshiki took out her phone. "Senpai Yuigahama, do you know who wrote that post?"

The reply came quickly, clearly indicating she was also caught up in the gossip.

Yuihama: "I'm not too sure about this either (●°u°●)"

That means she knew.

Her not admitting it meant it wasn't Senpai Miura.

With such a lively and cheerful tone, it should be someone Senpai Yuigahama was quite proud of.

And, a genius.
