Since I’ve Entered the World of Romantic Comedy Manga, I’ll Do My Best to Make the Heroine Who Doesn’t Stick With the Hero Happy.

Chapter 10: Conversation at School

Yuichi was very persistent in getting my help even after arriving at school and beginning our classes.

Come on! Please, for the love of God! Help me out!

Look here, Ive only known you for about two years, dont expect me to listen to such a request. Leave the lifelong request for your wedding when you need a best man.

Tsukasa! You say that like its some kind of quote, but I seriously dont understand what it is!

I dont really know what youre talking about either.

Ive followed the story faithfully so far

If that were true, I wouldnt be having this conversation with Yuichi.

I glanced at a certain direction

!

Of course, I was glancing at the sub-heroine of Ojojama, Sei Shimada.

But every time I look at her, her cheeks turn crimson red and she turns away.

Its already obvious, insanely obvious actually. Im currently being avoided [TLN: Man this is so sad, Alexa play despacito]

Oh, I want to die so bad

He-Hey, whats up, Tsukasa? Whats going on?

Shut up, Im fine. Im absolutely not.

Well, whats wrong? If youre so down right now, Im all ears.

This guy is the protagonist of this manga. In a sense, hes the only guy in this world where his confession would absolutely be a success. He can definitely go out with either Shiho Fujise or Kaori Tojoin.

Theres no way that this guy is going to get rejected by either of them.

But Im just his best friend. Not the main protagonist. Which means that Tsukasa Hisamuras love life is never described in the manga at all.

Im more likely to be treated badly when it comes to romance rather than a losing heroine like Sei-chan or Rinka.

In other words, Sei-chan may be a losing heroine but Im a clown that cant even stand on the stage.

Yesterday, I was caught up in my dream tension, so I said to myself Ill definitely make Sei-chan happy. But now that Im thinking of this seriously, its impossible. [TLN: Baka]

Hence, that leads to the current situation where Im being avoided.

Well, Ive already confessed my feelings to her.

In this kind of love, the game is usually won before the confession actually occurs. [TLN: Its referring to knowing each other more, getting closer to one another before confessing their feelings.]

Confession is like a ritual, a confirmation process that can only happen when two people already like each other.

So its all about how close you can get to the person before you confess and get them to like you

Ive already made my confession, so its no longer a game.

To use an example from a romance game, the main character doesnt confess to the heroines right off the bat with no affection points.

And Ive done this in the past world already.

Come on, Tsukasa. Im really asking you, on Sunday just-

Shut up, shut up, Ive got nothing but despair in this world now.

Seriously, man, what happened between this morning and lunch break?

Is it bad that nothing actually happened?

I dont understand what youre saying.

I dont really understand it either.

Or, actually, what does Sei-chan think of me?

The relationship between Tsukasa Hisamura and Sei Shimada in the work is at best a friend and at worst an acquaintance.

Our best friends like each other and we sometimes help each other out to get them together.

So maybe her impression of Tsukasa Hisamura in the manga isnt actually negative.

But, the first thing I did when I came into this world was make a creepy and passionate confession.

If you think about it calmly, its basically a turn-off.

[I need some line transition here or something cause its a minor time skip lol]

Its currently lunchtime. Yuuichi and I are eating at the edge of the classroom by the window, while Sei-chan is eating with Fujise in the hallway.

I can feel Fujises eyes on me from time to time. But why is she looking at me?

No, maybe shes looking at Shigemoto?

I think Im just being self-conscious right now.

I was eating the bento that Rinke had made for me, thinking it was insanely delicious.

After all, Rinkes a sister Im extremely proud of having with me. Ill give her more head-pats when I get back home. Will she hate me for that? I dont think she will.

Haah I cant do it without thinking about that.

Oh, yeah. Hey, Tsukasa, you probably cant stop her by yourself, can you?

Well, I probably cant. Im sure youre aware of it, but I dont think theres anyone who can stop that Tojoin-san by themselves other than you.

Me? No, even I cant do it. I dont think Ill be able to stop her from doing anything on Sunday.

Nah, you can probably stop her.

If you go to Tojoins house on Saturday night and flirt with her for the entire night, she probably wont interrupt your date with Fujise on Sunday.

Well, I wont be saying that out loud.

So what are you going to do about Tojoin-san that even you cant stop?

Well, if Tsukasa cant do it alone, we can get someone else to help us.

What? Who would it be?

You know whod be really good for this? Someone who knows that Fujise and I have a date on Sunday and is willing to cooperate with you

Oh, you dont mean

Its Shimada.

You cant do that, Ill die.

Why?

Shes avoiding me right now.

If you were suddenly placed with someone you were avoiding, would you be able to concentrate and stop Tojoin from interfering with your date?

Its impossible, of course. In so many ways.

Its the only way, please help me out!

Ill take care of it, just dont include Sei-chan. Its better if I do it alone.

Why? And why are you saying something like Sei-chan? I dont understand.

Dont ask or Ill blow you away.

Youre making even less sense than usual today.

Damn it, what should I do?

Should I tell Yuichi about it? The fact that I had confessed to Sei-chan.

Its easy to see what hes thinking about on his face. If he wasnt so flustered when Tojoin had found out about Sundays date, he wouldve been able to deceive her that time.

That was a self-inflicted wound on its own. But if other people found out that I was in love with Sei-chan, there was a possibility that Sei-chan would be involved as well.

I want to avoid that at all costs.

So youll do it all by yourself?

If only I could ask Shimada. But I really dont know what I can do on my own.

What would you rather ask me?

I dont believe it Is that the voice of?

Its the same situation as with Tojoin earlier.

The only difference was that it was coming from behind me, so Yuichi, who was facing me, could already see the other person.

Ah, Shimada.

I knew it!

I turned around, thinking that, and saw Sei-chan standing there.

Yuichi and I are sitting, so when Sei-chan stood there, I had to look up at her.

So, is there something you need me to do?

After a brief moment of eye contact and awkwardly looking away from me, she turned towards Yuichi and spoke.

Haah I knew you hate looking at me. [TLN:BAKAA]

Thats enough to make me feel like Ive hit rock bottom.

Oh, Shimada. I cant let anyone else hear this, so can you give me some time after school? I mean its about Sunday.

Oh So its about you and Shiho.

Yeah, about that. Weve got a little problem.

Okay After school, stay in class.

When he said that, Sei-chan suddenly froze.

It was as if the batteries in her machine had suddenly run out.

Hmm? Whats the matter, Shimada?

N-No-

When Sei-chan spoke to Yuichi, she started panicking. Her cheeks turned a little red and she was acting a bit flustered after hearing that. [TLN: I really cant say anything else Cmon spynine you agree right?] [ED: what can we even say about this]

Then, she glanced at me for a moment and our gazes met. I had already been staring at Sei-chans eyes for a while, thinking that they were beautiful.

No! Not in this classroom! Well meet in front of the school gate after school!

She said that and quickly left.

Is something wrong with Shimada? Whats going on?

W-Well, I dont really know.

I wonder. Since she was so upset when she saw me, did she remember what had happened with me in the classroom?

She looked at me and said she wasnt going to meet me in this classroom after school, so she probably did.

This was the classroom where Id confessed my feelings to Sei-chan yesterday.

I guess thats why she left the class, but I wonder what she meant by that.

Awkwardness is probably the reason Well, in a negative way, I suppose, nine times out of ten.

Hah I knew I shouldnt have confessed whilst being in a dream fever.

But I cant help it, I never dreamed that Id be in the world of Ojojama.

Well, Im more than happy that it wasnt a dream, but the thing yesterday would have been better off as a dream.

Im glad I got to see that, though She was so dangerously cute yesterday.

Ah right, I have to go to the club room right after school ends since we have a basketball team meeting after school today.

Huh?

Sorry, but can you tell Shimada about the situation after school?

HAH!?
