Romcom Pattern of Month D

D-Month, Day ○

 
Another day, another shift spent putting my heart and soul into rom-com observation. Today, during homeroom, a major event was announced. Yes, the notice about summer vacation. Starting this month, we’re diving headfirst into the summer holidays.
 
Summer vacation—it’s paradise for high schoolers. Whether you want to lounge around at home, throw yourself into a part-time job or club activities, or best of all… yes, it’s the season where rom-com events are packed tighter than a rush-hour train.… Read more

Another Perspective: The Other Side of Month C

The Other Side of Month C: Amagiri Sumire’s Perspective
 
To be honest, the sports festival was nothing but gloomy for me. I’m not very good at sports. When I was in elementary school, there was a time I liked playing outside, but now I prefer novels, anime… I even write my own stories. I love indoor hobbies.
 
During the sports festival practice in class, I was spacing out in the shade, praying for time to pass quickly, when a certain boy practicing for the relay caught my eye.… Read more

 
It seems everyone was deep in conversation while leaving me out of it, but since I’d stepped away from my seat at just the right moment due to a sudden need to use the restroom, I didn’t catch any of what was said. After I got back, I tried asking Ryuchi about it, and the answer I got was:
 
“It was about you, of course. And… a sort of oath, I suppose.”
 
An “oath”… meaning a “vow”… a “vow of love”… Following that flawless chain of logic, I tried asking whether joining the Sakakibara Harem might be an option, but that was turned down with a bright smile.… Read more

Month C, Day □

To put it briefly: it was half a success and half a failure. As per my plan from yesterday, I did manage to make Sakakibara and Amagiri a pair for the three-legged race. Since Sakakibara is popular for being genuinely handsome, a lottery was held to decide who would pair with him. Or rather, I suggested, “If it’s going to cause such a fuss, why not just do a lottery?” The suggestion went through surprisingly easily.… Read more

Romcom Pattern of Month C

Month C, Day ○

 
The temperature has been steadily rising, and it’s getting quite hot. In the classroom, I can hear voices longing for the summer uniforms or talking about how much they’re looking forward to summer vacation. Sasaki has joined the group of boys, passionately discussing the merits of the girls’ summer uniforms.
 
Specifically, he’s talking about how great it is when their white shirts stick to them from sweat, the way they wipe away perspiration, or the “see-through bra” look.… Read more

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
