So Lewd?

"No."

Uesugi Futaro recalled a time when he had promised something, and the next day all sorts of rumors were flying around.

He shuddered and resolutely refused.

"Never mind then."

Shuya knew his concerns and didn't say anything more.

There's nothing he can do about this.

It's all because he's so good-looking that all those yaoi fans are constantly pairing him up with other men. You can tell who's the top and who's the bottom just by talking to him.

He didn't say anything more to Uesugi, quickly finished his meal, and went back to the classroom to read comics and play on his phone.

The wind was still a bit strong in April, so the students in the class tried not to stay outdoors and most of them stayed back in the classroom.

The neighborhood's "normie" group is arguing again.

He glanced to the side a few times.

But... that Dango was really huge...

Shuya stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "As expected of a frozen eel, his standards are indeed high."

He noticed early on that there were a large number of frozen eel characters lurking in the high school.

He doesn't care much about it now, having seen it all before.

He casually scrolled through his phone; since he couldn't look at erotic pictures at school, he'd check out news about porn.

They are, after all, professionals in this field, so we should show them some concern.

The lunch break was still a while away, and the students next door were having a lively chat. It was obvious that the students in the class were being suppressed in terms of their enthusiasm. Shuya a little annoyed by the noise, but not to the point of getting angry.

He lay down on the table to sleep, plugging his ears with air, and that made it quiet.

But I hadn't been lying there long when my phone started vibrating.

Shuya answered the phone casually, propping his elbow on the table, and said, "Hello, who is it?"

"It's me."

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Huh? Mai- chan?"

When the students noticed Mai's name, they all turned around, and the members of the "normie group" subconsciously lowered their voices a little.

Sakurajima Mai's name is not unfamiliar to them; even though she and Shuya have suspended their acting careers, she is still extremely famous.

His call with Mai- chan clearly attracted widespread attention.

Shuya didn't seem inclined to go out and speak.

First, I'm lazy; second, it's so satisfying to show off in front of my classmates.

... Just kidding. Shuya decide whether to leave or make a phone call based on what happens next. Anyway, he doesn't think Mai- chan has anything important to say to him.

A hesitant voice came from the other end of the phone. "Shuya, are you... free after school?"

"My Gorilla wanted to see me after school today, but it should be done quickly, right? He should be free. What, you want to ask me out again?"

Shuya a wondrous path.

"Hmph... Hmph! Yeah, so what? You're unhappy about me, a beautiful girl, asking you out?"

Mai- chan uttered a proud statement to hide her embarrassment.

Shuya shrugged. "Nothing's wrong. It's just that you keep asking me out lately. I spent the whole day with you the other day. If you keep doing this, we'll start having rumors again..."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and said, "Emmm, never mind, we've had these rumors for so many years, it doesn't really matter."

Upon hearing that he had spent the day with Mai the day before yesterday, the male and female students all stirred with excitement.

That dead fish eye glanced at Shuya, thinking to himself: He's appeared, the king of the popular guy!

Explode!

So, are you coming or not?

Mai- chan used a slightly threatening tone.

"Come on in, but I think I'll be busy for a while. You go home and wait for me, I'll come pick you up later."

Shuya nodded.

Although I don't know why Mai- chan has been contacting him so often lately, how could I refuse as a good friend?

... I used to confide in her all the time, but now I can't refuse her requests at all.

Mai- chan was very satisfied with Shuya's attitude. She said, "Very good, then I'll wait for you to pick me up."

Shuya casually adopted his handsome, business-like voice. "Leave it to me, Miss. I'll obey your every command."

"Very good."

Mai -chan hung up the phone, completely satisfied.

As Shuya put down his phone, Dango, who was standing next to him, suddenly whispered, "Ah! I remember now, that was a line from <Art Academy>, right, Inoue- kun?"

Miss Dango was pleasantly surprised and impulsively struck up a conversation with Shuya.

"Hmm? Yeah, it's amazing you remember, it's been such a long time since the show."

Shuya put on his idol smile.

"Ah, of course! I cried when I watched it, I loved it so much! Um... I'm sorry, I got a little excited."

The large Dango suddenly realized what was happening. She waved her hands slightly in apology, and the Dango on her head swayed back and forth.

It's spectacular.

I really wish I could share some with Yukino- chan.

After apologizing to Dango. Dango and Shuya, they continued chatting and laughing with the people from the "normie group."

Other classmates were also whispering about the news, and some even went on Twitter to share it.

Shuya didn't care.

---What's there to be afraid of? I've been shipping Mai- chan since I was six or seven, why would I care what you guys say?

Section 330, Chapter 313: Is it really that erotic?

This little incident passed quickly.

Because class has started.

When Shizuka Hiratsuka in flowing white, walked in, Shuya was still slumped over the table.

Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at him and threw a piece of chalk at him.

Shuya looking up.

No one knew that this seemingly simple process actually concealed a fierce clash of emotions.

"Inoue, you're sleeping so soundly?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka retorted to him.

Shuya laughed and said, "Hehe, I just dreamt about you being single until you're sixty and crying your eyes out. It was so funny that I didn't want to wake up from the dream."

"Say that again, you little brat?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled dangerously.

The students were quite frightened by the pressure she was subtly exuding.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Shuya didn't continue the provocation, otherwise it would have been troublesome if the Gorilla had actually attacked.

He's recently become an energy-saving advocate.

Aside from hanging out with girls, I don't really want to do anything else.

During the next class, he became drowsy listening to the Gorilla reading the text, and after barely getting through the lesson, he sat up and fell into a deep sleep.

I have plenty of energy, but I just want to sleep in class.

That's amazing!

Shuya slept all the way until school was over, then walked straight out of the classroom.

He only took out his textbook during Chinese class; he didn't take it out for any other classes, so there wasn't much to pack.

Just put your phone away.

And there aren't class meetings after school every day.

He bumped into that dead-eyed guy named something like "Bi" as he went outside.

Shuya greeted him, "Hey classmate, do you know what the Gorilla asked us to do?"

"... have no idea."

Without looking at Shuya, she whispered something.

Shuya could tell he didn't want to continue the conversation, so he didn't want to make a fool of himself.

He seems to be a low-key, introverted person.

Shuya secretly made a comment.

But after a while, he personally experienced the richness of this dead-fish-eyed man's inner world.

After the two entered the staff room, Shizuka Hiratsuka rubbed her forehead, and without saying anything, pulled out an essay and began to read it aloud.

"Youth is a lie, a sin..."

"Furthermore, they can find something special in those crimes and failures..."

The conclusion is: May all the popular people explode!

Shizuka Hiratsuka said helplessly, "... You're the one who's going to explode."

Hahahaha!

Shuya, bursting into laughter.

He sized up the boy named Hachiman Hikigaya.

Such an interesting person, isn't he a main character?

Seeing Shuya laughing heartily while clutching his stomach, Hikigaya obediently.

Shizuka Hiratsuka slapped Shuya on the head to quiet him down.

She said, "Hikigaya, what exactly is the homework I assigned?"

An essay titled "Reflecting on High School Life..."

The conversation between Shizuka Hiratsuka and Hikigaya that followed made Shuya laugh so hard he almost choked.

I haven't seen her make such expressive faces in a long time.

After the two finished speaking, Shizuka Hiratsuka finally looked at Shuya.

Hikigaya was also watching Shuya very carefully.

He guessed that he and Shuya must have been summoned by Shizuka Hiratsuka because of the same thing.

So here's the question.

... So what exactly did this "King of Social Life" write that earned him this invitation?

Hikigaya, who has been the butt of jokes for so long, has expressed his concern.

Suppressing her anger, Shizuka Hiratsuka said to Shuya, "What are you laughing at? Do you think your essay is better than his?"
