ICFBW 24

Chapter 24

Peaceful. Too peaceful…! Today is peaceful because Ryuka isn’t at school due to entertainment work. She won’t show up during lunch with Fuma, and I don’t even have to think about how to shake her off after homeroom. It feels liberating—so wonderfully free! Alright, today I’m going to look for a handsome guy from another school!

After homeroom ended, I excitedly stepped out of the school building when…

“Fuma!”

Aoi spotted Fuma beside me and waved happily. Fuma waved back with a smile. Yeah, yeah… I need to become happy like these two soon. I’ve even made a list of high schools with lots of handsome guys, so everything is perfect. I’ll admire the handsome boys in their club activities and find the perfect guy for me.

I waved goodbye to Fuma and Aoi and walked along cheerfully, when suddenly:

“Risa Hiiragi… you’re Hiiragi Risa, right…?”

I turned around at the voice and saw a plain-looking boy in the same high school uniform. He was staring at me with a smirk.

“Hey… I’m technically in the entertainment course too, you know. I might look plain, but they expect me to play supporting roles. Would you… even consider someone like me?”

“Huh…?”

Before I could react, the boy showed me a photo on his smartphone. On it was a notice that read:

“Hiiragi Risa of the general course is a slut who seduces boys in the entertainment course”

Along with it, there was a photo—possibly AI-edited—showing Risa straddling a man whose face she’s hiding, her chest exposed.

“…What is this…?”

“What do you mean, ‘what’…? Be honest, satisfy me too.”

The moment the plain-looking boy grabbed my wrist with a smirk, I felt a strange, chilling sensation run through my whole body.
