The Other Side of Month B: Toka Yamato’s Perspective

 
It was a complete coincidence. My mother’s sister—my aunt—turned out to be the mother of that expressionless boy. The development was so convenient for me that I almost wanted to burst out laughing.
 
His mother was a very expressive person, unlike her son. She was the one who led me to the apartment building where he lives alone.
 
When we visited, he remained expressionless but began frantically getting things ready.… Read more

Another Perspective: The Other Side of Month B

The Other Side of Month B: Sei Umihara’s Perspective

 
One day during the long holiday, I found myself at an amusement park. Of course, I wasn’t alone. There was the much-discussed Sakakibara. Takashiro and Shironami, who are clearly head-over-heels for him. Sasaki, who makes his feelings for me painfully obvious… and then, there’s him—the expressionless guy I can never quite read.
 
We had been in the same group during the residential training and ate together, but… he always seemed so distinct.… Read more

As we actually got down to studying, I kept a close eye on them. As expected, Takashiro and Shironami were desperately trying to close the distance (both physical and emotional) with Sakakibara, peppering him with questions and leaning in close. Apparently, Sakakibara is actually quite bright; he answered their questions almost instantly without breaking a sweat. As for the physical contact, he looked somewhere between “happy” and “embarrassed.”
 
Sasaki watched this with blatant jealousy while Umihara chided him into focusing on his work.… Read more

Month B, Day ?

Today, I was enjoying my laziness until around noon. Wake up, play games, watch videos, fall asleep. Wake up at noon. Is this too much fun?
 
However, that peace was shattered in an instant. The conclusion: a visitor. It was my mother. If it were just her, it would have been fine, but for some reason, the Student Council President was also there.
 
My brain was filled with question marks.… Read more

We must have talked for about ten minutes. Suddenly, Umihara said, “You’re actually a pretty interesting person, aren’t you?”
 
Her smile at that moment could almost be described as “bewitching.” It was an expression I hadn’t seen while we were acting as a group.
 
Umihara said something else after that, but I don’t remember the content. Why? Because… I was too busy being hyped by the fact that Umihara was a “Little Devil Heroine”!… Read more

Romcom Pattern of Month B

Month B, Day ○

 
I felt like my entire class was a bit restless all day today. However, that’s to be expected. After all, the so-called “Golden Week” long holiday begins tomorrow.
 
Everywhere in the classroom, flowers of conversation were blooming about plans to hang out or how many hours people were going to sink into gaming. I am no exception; in fact, there’s no denying that I am looking forward to this break many times more than in previous years.… Read more

Another Perspective: The Other Side of Month A

 
The Other Side of Month A: From Sakakibara Akira’s Perspective
 
The expressionless friend I met at the training camp is, I think, quite a mysterious person. After talking in the same room, I found that although he’s expressionless, he has a sense of humor and boldly declares his hobby is watching rom-com works. However, he doesn’t seem interested in romance himself, as he doesn’t really remember girls’ names.… Read more

Once I took my seat, the President began to state their business. Apparently, it had been reported that the two girls in the Sakakibara Harem were being overly clingy with him to get closer, which was being viewed as “disturbing public morals.” Therefore, they wanted to investigate his conduct by talking to me, a classmate who speaks with him often. Thinking about it logically, the report itself was reasonable, but I suspect this whole situation arose because someone didn’t like the fact that Sakakibara was monopolizing two beautiful girls.… Read more

Month A, Day ?

Today is a day off. For someone living alone like me, it’s a time perfectly dedicated to myself, aside from doing chores.
 
That said, since I just started school and don’t have many friends, I was planning to spend the day gaming when a notification popped up on my phone. The sender: Sakakibara.
 
“Hpel,” it said. He probably meant to type “Help,” but it felt like it was already too late. I figured it would be fine to leave him be, but then I got a call.… Read more

Month A, Day □

Today, I decided to focus my observations on the heroines. “Know the protagonist, know the heroines, and in a hundred observations, you will never be in peril.”
 
With that in mind, let’s start with Takashiro Ai. Long black hair, with a refined and “pure” face. She wears our school’s blazer exactly according to regulations, giving off a serious vibe. At first glance, she might seem lacking in self-assertion, but wearing the blazer properly actually emphasizes her beautiful, streamlined figure.… Read more
