Chapter 05 For a Current Idol, You Sure Don’t Act Like One

Even though he was wearing his cap pulled low,
“Wow, that guy’s super handsome! What school uniform is that?”
“Where, where? Whoa, seriously. He’s soooo hot!”
His aura as a heartthrob was leaking out everywhere, and the girls in the café started whispering excitedly as soon as they noticed.

“Sigh… girls who don’t know your true nature are squealing again. You really shouldn’t do stuff that could get misunderstood, like the whole ‘aahh~’ thing…”
Even though I warned him, he shoved a forkful of cake loaded with whipped cream into my mouth.

Then, he tore open his own wet wipe and started wiping the cream off my lips. Wipe, wipe.
And he looked ridiculously pleased with himself.

“Wha—… what are you doing?!”

I was about to get mad, but—
“Ehh, no way! That’s so cute, what was that?”
“Getting pampered by a hottie like that? I wanna experience it toooo!”
The girls in the café started buzzing with excitement, so I held myself back for now.

If he attracted this much attention here and someone realized Ryuga was a current idol, my life would be over.
I’d get endlessly gossiped about with a guy I’m not even dating, dragged into scandals true or false, and my peaceful daily life would collapse.

“Listen, you’re a current idol. You need to take a little more responsibility for how you act. I heard back when Fuma was still an idol, people warned him about this kind of thing too?”

“I do, I do. I take responsibility. If it’s with Risa-chan, I don’t mind even if we end up in a tabloid.”
“Huh? What kind of nonsense is that? Seriously, Ryuga…”

Just as I was about to scold him even more—
“You’re Ryuga, the idol, right?”
A ridiculously pretty, graceful-looking girl walked up and called out to him—the kind of girl so dazzling that every guy nearby would probably turn to look.

Synopsis

Risa, a high school girl, suddenly finds herself doted on by Ryuka, a sexy-type idol who attends the same school. While struggling with his overly erotic skinship and hopelessly sloppy private life, she continues chasing her real goal: to get a perfect handsome boyfriend.

But things don’t go smoothly—on top of two useless guys she happens to meet, she also gets caught up in trouble with Yua, who misunderstands Risa and Ryuka’s relationship and tries to tear them apart. To make matters even more complicated, a mysterious man named Riku appears.

Will Risa be able to overcome all these troubles and finally go out with her “perfect handsome guy”?
