It was an unexpected event.
Suddenly, the first-year junior, Minato Nao, whom she hadn’t paid any attention to, appeared and snagged Kim Yu-seong.
‘Was I too careless thinking it was my turn next?’
Sasha thought of the smug face of the President’s lackey, who boasted that this plan was perfect, and clicked her tongue inwardly.
“President, is it alright if I step out for a mont? I have sothing urgent to attend to.”
“Huh? Right now?”
“Right now.”
Sasha, who normally wouldn’t make a request to anyone, made Ayase look at her with surprise before nodding her head.
“Okay. Go ahead.”
“Thank you, President.”
After patting her on the shoulder, Sasha slipped out of the classroom in her butler outfit.
With her blue hair tied in a ponytail and her butler outfit fitting her slim figure, Sasha looked like a handso androgynous person.
As a foreigner, she attracted the attention of passersby when she stepped into the hallway, but Sasha ignored them and chased after the distant figures of Kim Yu-seong and Minato Nao.
‘A sneaky cat.’
Flas sparked in her eyes.
Suddenly, Nao, who had appeared in the classroom, dragged to a relatively deserted place: the staircase landing on the school rooftop.
Thinking that resisting might hurt her, I willingly followed and leaned against the wall to ask Nao.
“What are you planning?”
“What do you an?”
“If rumors spread that you, a celebrity, are close to a school senior, it could damage your career with scandals.”
“Co on, why are you bringing that up now?”
But Nao, the one in question, was unfazed.
Dressed in her school uniform, she put her hands behind her back and leaned against the railing as she spoke.
“Do you think I ca to et a senior without even being prepared for sothing like that? I’ve already been turned down once.”
As she said this, Nao looked at and grinned.
“To be honest, I was a bit shocked at first. Until now, I thought I was quite popular.”
“You have a lot of confidence, don’t you?”
“That’s an objective fact. I’ve actually received a lot of advances from people around .”
Saying this, she brushed her hair behind her ear and looked straight at .
“So when you rejected my confession, I was out of it for a while.”
“Ah… I see.”
Honestly, I didn’t know how to respond.
It had been a while since we t again, yet we were having such a heavy conversation.
“So, during the ti I wasn’t at school, I thought alone about why you had to reject my confession.”
During the sumr festival, I rejected her confession due to the disparity in our social statuses.
She was a celebrity, and I was an ordinary person; I thought a proper relationship couldn’t form from the start.
Thanks to that, I ended up dating the President now, so in a way, it was a good choice.
“But suddenly, last week, that concern was resolved, right?”
But it seed that Nao’s thoughts were different.
“I didn’t think you would suddenly beco a celebrity overnight. I envisioned you slowly gaining experience as an extra and growing into an action star, but in fact, you were a disciple of soone amazing like Fuma Kotaro! My eye for muscles hasn’t failed .”
Her words poured out like a machine gun, and a hint of madness sparkled in her shining eyes.
‘Was she this scary?’
Overwheld by her energy, I backed away, stamring, “Wh-what?” When Nao seed to realize she was too excited, she took a light breath and spoke with a calr expression.
“So let say it again. Please go out with , Senior.”
“……”
An unexpectedly tid confession.
I looked around to see if anyone had overheard.
Thank goodness this was a secluded area; if anyone had heard this confession, it could have seriously damaged her acting career.
I hesitated for a mont before speaking.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t accept that confession.”
“Why this ti? What reason could it possibly be?”
“That is…”
To reject Nao’s confession here, I had no choice but to reveal that I was already dating the President.
As I hesitated for a mont, a familiar voice suddenly ca from below the stairs.
“Sorry, but I had already set my sights on Kim Yu-seong first.”
As she said this, Sasha slowly revealed herself.
“You…”
The glances of the two crossed.
Sasha and Nao were already acquainted.
They had t once during the sumr festival.
With a leisurely stride, she climbed the stairs and looked up at Nao.
“Let’s exclude the third party here.”
Nao glared at Sasha, who said this curtly, but who was Sasha?
She was the daughter of Ivan, the God of Destruction in the Russian Red Mafia.
Nao’s unapproachable aura, typical of celebrities, was sothing Sasha could easily brush aside.
Finally, as they reached the top of the stairs, the two stood side by side. Given Sasha’s height as a foreigner, the situation had to have flipped compared to just monts ago.
“As I ntioned earlier, Kim Yu-seong is a guy I’ve already set my eyes on. I don’t care where you crawled out from; I won’t allow soone else to bid higher on my already claid Yu-seong.”
“Wh-what did you just say?!”
“No, I still have more to say. Flatty.”
Sasha confidently puffed out her chest as she said this.
Despite being dressed as a boy, her overwhelming fighting spirit remained intact.
Nao, with her relatively slim figure, clutched her chest in surprise at the sudden insult but quickly responded with a bold voice.
“I don’t know when you started liking the Senior, but my feelings for him are unmatched! I like not just his muscles, but his kind heart too!”
“Wow, you can say such embarrassing things so casually. It seems Japanese girls don’t know what embarrassnt ans!”
“Y-you’re tall, but your attitude is even bigger!”
“Isn’t it better to be taller than to be flat-chested?”
“Guys prefer petite girls over those who are unnecessarily tall, you know?!”
The argunt between the two was gradually becoming childish.
Caught in the middle, I could neither intervene nor back out as I looked back and forth between the two.
After arguing with Nao for a while, Sasha seed to realize they wouldn’t end it this way, let out a deep sigh, and spoke.
“Alright. Let’s do this: We’ll decide who is more suitable for Kim Yu-seong through this competition.”
Sasha suddenly pointed to a poster oddly stuck to the wall leading to the rooftop.
‘Ichijo Academy’s Most Beautiful Girl Contest’
Since it was rely an event contest, no one paid any attention to the poster.
But right now…
“Alright! We’ll settle it in this contest! Between the two of us, who is more suitable for Senior Yu-seong!”
With the declaration of two powerful dark horses entering the fray, the situation began to take a turn.
Honestly, it had been quite a while since I cared about the original story’s progression.
I didn’t even know what the story was about, and I was already aware that my involvent had significantly altered the original storyline.
However, even so, a beauty contest in a 21st-century high school cultural festival?
It wouldn’t be surprising if parents and students opposed it, but it was boldly held under the guise of ‘tradition.’
Was this the power of the love cody world?
It was dizzying.
In any case, perhaps due to so restraint, the ripple effect of the bet that started from Sasha and Nao’s argunt spread throughout the entire school like wildfire.
“Did you hear? First-year Minato Nao is entering the beauty contest tomorrow.”
“Minato Nao is entering the contest? Then she’s definitely going to win first place.”
“No, we can’t determine the winner yet. There’s another strong dark horse entering from the second year.”
“Dark horse?”
“Yeah. Earlier this year, a monstrous transfer student nad ‘Alexandra Ivanovna Romanova,’ aka Sasha, announced her entry.”
“…How do you even shorten that long na to Sasha?”
“I don’t know either. I’ve heard Russian nas are like that.”
The hallway was filled with discussions about the beauty contest.
Sohow, the rumors had spread, successfully capturing the attention of all the students.
After managing to part ways with the two, I wearily returned to the classroom when Rika, dressed in her butler outfit, rushed over to ask.
“Ryu-chan! Is it true?! That if you win this beauty contest, you get to make a wish?!”
“What?”
What was this nonsense?
I looked at Rika, who suddenly spoke words I didn’t understand, in disbelief, but she was looking at with eyes sparkling as if stars were about to fall.
“Wait, who told you that?”
“Sasha-chan! I just heard it!”
No way, it was her?
As I imagined Sasha’s face, which I hadn’t seen here, I was about to tell Rika it was a misunderstanding, but just then, Karen appeared next to Rika and said to .
“Sasha said she’s going to use the wish token she promised before, you know?”
“What?”
As soon as I heard that, one mory buried in oblivion surfaced.
To be precise, it was the promise that Sasha made to take care of Chiaki in my place, as I was made younger due to the side effects of the Ghost Pill.
‘Later, grant three wishes.’
Ah.
