Lonely Loser, I’ll Become Blonde Frivolous Gyaru’s Favourite - Chapter 50

Chapter 50 – Just Some Tent

Once upon a time, there were pitiful brother and sister who had an aunt with a loose screw.
Every summer, she would take them around the campsite, saying something like “It is a rehearsal for the time when you become a normie”.
Has she really not thought that it is impossible for such a day to come, when she saw the two of us who were walking around as if we were disappointment wearing clothes?
And mysteriously, it seems she hasn’t.

“Fufu, don’t worry. Because influence graph of the youth can change in an instant just by some chance!”

Well, I got used to it. Both me and Keyaki would just laugh and joke in return.

“It can’t be helped, we do this every year. We are mobs in any case.”

“It’s exactly as aniki says. We can’t even play games here. By the way, I think of this every time, but, aunt, why is it always a mountain?”

But talking like that, we naturally stepped on aunt Arika’s landmine.
She would put both her hands on my shoulders and shake my body. It’s the usual pa.s.sion coming outside when she has bloodshot eyes.

“Come on, Jun-kun! Keyaki-chan too. It is not for that reason! Even if I say that there is a chance, if you don’t notice it, it will pa.s.s you at the speed of sound! Fufun!”

Usually, she is a guardian who wouldn’t annoy you even if you laze around in the room a little, but it is her theory that whatever motivation is important.
Particularly, summer is different.
In the world of youth, summer is special. That’s the way it is.

“Do you understand? Summer is a season of reversals. Even girls raise some fighting spirit and come to decision during summer! And how should I put it… That is because boys are skillful”

“Haa. Skillful…”

“What I mean is that it is best to be able to do anything! Come, come, let’s put up the tent!”

Speaking of my memories of summer holidays, well, that’s how they are.
Everything like mountains or sea gives off a smell of family. When I put up a tent, I feel like I’m together with my aunt or little sister.
An event unrelated with the existence of something like cla.s.smates.
Originally, camp should have been something like that.

That is why I pointlessly concentrated on the familiar handwork.
In any case, the pair of girls said about something like shopping and went somewhere.
I am deceiving my mental condition, which is tired because of certain someone, with a seemingly lonely simple work.

And then… as I came to my senses.
When I nailed the last stake, Komatsu-kun was standing nearby with a wry smile.
Also, his elder sister stood with folded arms and was looking at me with admiration.

– Hee… Amazing, Jun. You’re really quick

– So, so fast… Sorry, Ichijou-kun, I couldn’t do anything…

Wha… This brother and sister, were they staring at me all this time?

– Wh-, what? This much is…

– ‘Cause you know, Ichijou-kun, you’ve done it alone in just ten minutes!

– Ten minutes? It should have been a bit longer. At best it would be fifteen minutes

– It doesn’t matter how many minutes. Jun… look around you?

As I checked around… Ouf. Miserable state.

– Eh, what kind of structure is this? Isn’t it impossible? lol

– Ogino-kun, you look like you can do this! You’re for sure good at this

– Nah, I’m non-normie. Haa… What’s is this, I just don’t get it

Better ones are just having trouble with tying the cord, while in the group, which doesn’t know from where to start, all four members are at a loss, just fumbling with the cloth. … Also, when it came to Iidzuka, he was having a sword fight with a tarp pole, while yelling like a monkey. Hey, it’s dangerous.
Every single one of them, according to the popular romcom mangaka of the Ichijou household, they would be on a trial by the court martial. If you make her angry, she becomes very dispirited, that person…

Ririksan sighed with an amazed expression seeing the cla.s.s that lost its fighting spirit a little.

Now that I think about it, I don’t understand Komatsu-kun’s sister as much as I thought I did.
If I said that I don’t have a girlfriend, she would just reply and say to pick one up since it is sea nearby. How should I put it, she’s like a man.
And right now, as everyone from the cla.s.s crowded, her eyes became lively.
By the way, the planning this time, isn’t it a bit too good? Hasn’t she heard anything from Hyodou? As my intuition proved to be right, she looked at me… and broadly grinned.

– Oi, everybody! Come here! If you do, Jun will show you the pattern

– Haa? Komatsu-san, why are you saying whatever you want…!

The woman, who is currently our guardian, wildly stuck out her chin.
But still, pattern? This, is this something that needs a pattern to be shown?

– Jun? What, is it about Ichijou?

– Whoa, isn’t this really nice! Who made this…?

– All of the appeal comes from Ichijou! And that thing with Tachibana just earlier!

Please, really forget that last part, I’ll do anything…
Anyhow, at Ririksan’s order a ring started forming around me little by little and bewildered, I started panicking. My loner colleague Komatsu-kun worriedly looked at me, but it doesn’t really help.
Anyway, looks of either admiration or curiosity were directed at me.

What have you done?
I made a protest with my eyes to Ririksan, but

– Girls’ tents have to be put up anyway. Just do it along the way

– … I have many responsibilities

– I just couldn’t look at your face that looked worried ever since you came here. What, it’s fine to just show them how to construct it. Your mood will change a bit as well

– Somehow, I feel like it’s becoming a spectacle

– Haa? It’s not like that at all. In order to also remove that kind of strange suspicions, you should help out your buddies.

Well, even if I remain silent, the gazes turned at me will simply become painful.
Certainly, just as she says, it’s only putting it up just like I did earlier…

– Well, um… Those who don’t understand, it’s fine if they just stand there and look…

Humph, being worried just because of some tent is so foolish. It’s merely putting it up like usual.

– Wait for me, Karen. You’re in too much of a hurry…

– I can’t help it! I want to meet soon!

– Haa… You do get along really well… with Ichijou-kun

– Ehehe… For rushing the shopping, I’m sorry, okay?

After picking up a change of clothes from the room and buying some meat for BBQ from a nearby supermarket, we walked in the direction of the beach.

Haa.. Summer holidays are very fun after all.
Excitement just won’t stop. Even Momoko is getting put off…

– Um, it’s good that the two of you made up, but… Even so, don’t do sneaky, strange things with Ichijou-kun, okay?

– Eeh? What are strange things?

– Uh, that would be… Strange things are, um, strange things… There’s everyone too

– Momoko, your face is deep red. Hey, is it something embarra.s.sing…?

– Wr-, wrong. I don’t mean anything weird…

– Noo. Dirtyyy. Momoko ecchi♪

Isn’t it me who is embarra.s.sed?
However, even if it is embarra.s.sing… today, I will absolutely monopolize Jun. When everyone will fall asleep in their tents, I’ll wake him up and walk on the beach with him… So cool, I’m eager to do it just thinking about it.

I’m rapidly becoming bold…
I like him so much. So much…
But, it can’t be helped, right? Yesterday, there wasn’t any disagreement at all on his face when I called us lovey-dovey hug friends.
He hugged me so gently, I can still feel his touch…

Haa…
Even though I feel sorry for stealing his first kiss, in truth, I am inevitably happy about it. It’s probably a mutual love already. It should be decided with just another push.

While I was drifting inside of my head, a rash hoodie, that was put on top of my swimsuit, got pulled.
It was abrupt, but I turned to Momoko with a smile. But as Momoko looked worried, I felt a bit uneasy.

– Eh, what…?

– He-, hey, Karen… Look, there.

Jun was putting up a tent over there.
However, it’s not the guy from our team. Eh… why?

– Eeh, amazing! Ichijou-kun, turns out you’re good at taking care of others

– This much is nothing, really, don’t mind it…

– No, no, the only one from cla.s.s who could do it is Ichijou-kun. As for thanks, come later to our team to have a meal?

– I don’t really…

Eh…?
Him, Jun speaking with some other girl alone, I’m, seeing it for the first time…
