The Classmate Who Is Adored by Everyone Smiles Teasingly Only at Me-Chapter 4V1 .17 - Infinite Possibilities of Ice Cream

Infinite Possibilities of Ice Cream 17

“Everyone praises me, saying how amazing I am. I don’t like the nickname ‘Omnipotent’ because it sounds lame, but I don’t mind being evaluated that way. After all, I’m working hard.”

“Yes? That’s right. You’re amazing.”

While her usual demeanor is that of a doting and overly pampering best friend to Chika, during class, she’s deadly serious, and even after school, she stays busy with student council activities.

The evaluation of her like that is nothing but accurate.

Nobody can deny that.

Of course, Soma also genuinely thinks Miki is amazing.

However, Miki’s expression clouded unexpectedly.

“But, you know, maybe it’s because I come off as special or distant from other students, I feel like there’s a wall between me and others, especially boys.”

“Ah… Well, maybe that’s true.”

Depending on how he put it, she could be considered unapproachable, like a high-maintenance flower, according to the boys’ talk.

While they might have their eyes on the approachable Chika, there’s hardly any talk about targeting Miki.

Miki is undoubtedly very beautiful, but her excellence and seriousness seem to intimidate them.

“I want to go on dates with a boy and exchange silly messages on my smartphone late at night. If that’s not possible, I’d at least like to have casual conversations with boys during breaks. You’re probably the only boy I can talk to properly, but even talking to you, I don’t find it enjoyable at all. Because you’re an idiot who’s obsessed with sweets and Chika’s favorite.”

“Shut up, stop talking like that.”

Though he frowned at her light teasing, deep inside, he was surprised.

He never expected Miki to have such desires.

Because she’s always sticking to Chika, he thought she had no interest in boys.

“Saito, you surprisingly have strong romantic desires, huh?”

“Well, I’m a high school girl, after all. Besides, because of my manga-otaku big brother’s influence, I read a lot of shoujo manga, romance manga, and romantic comedy manga. Reading those kinds of stories makes me yearn for romance.”

I guess ‘Omnipotent’ wasn’t wood and stone either.

“So, what are you trying to say?”

It’s good to learn surprising aspects of your classmates, but suddenly hearing this kind of thing is awkward.

In the first place, Soma is simply asking if she would join Chika’s day trip plan.

“So basically, I do have an interest in romance, but I have zero experience or immunity to it.”

“That much was clear from what you said earlier. Then, what’s your point? If you want romantic advice, you’re asking the wrong person——I’m a sweets fanatic. Ask Chika; she’s a good listener and will take you seriously.”

Certainly, Chika might not be an expert on romance either, so she might not give the most precise advice.

“I’m not asking for romantic advice or to be set up with someone. It’s more like… um…”

Uncharacteristically hesitant, Miki stammers. She blushes and starts fidgeting.

“I’m not used to being shown those kinds of things; it’s embarrassing…”

“What do you mean by ‘those kinds of things’?”

“Y-you know…”

Frustrated that she can’t convey her thoughts clearly, Soma leans closer, and her face turns even redder.

“Just say it clearly.”

“You know… seeing you and Chika being all lovey-dovey up close is too stimulating for me!”

“Ha?”

Completely clueless about Miki’s words, Soma looks dumbfounded.

“You two are way too intense! The other day at the arcade, you two were all over each other! You’ll probably do the same on Sunday, right? If I have to witness that all day long, my mental state will be ruined!”

“Wait! Wait, wait, wait!! What do you mean? Who was being lovey-dovey!?”

“You and Chika!”

“I have absolutely no recollection of that!”

“What are you saying!? You were hugging each other, feeding each other ice cream and all that! You two do such things in public and say it’s not lovey-dovey?”

Finally understanding what Miki is talking about, Soma’s face turns bright red as he tries to defend himself.

“It’s a misunderstanding! Chika and I have no intention of being lovey-dovey! Besides, that’s not the kind of relationship we have!”

“Even if you say it’s not that kind of relationship, the things you do are totally lovey-dovey! Should I bring some romantic comedy manga next time and show you? There are plenty of couples in 2D doing the same things you two do!”

“What… are you saying?”

This is ridiculous. It’s a completely false accusation.

Soma has never once thought of being lovey-dovey with Chika. It’s just Chika that enjoys teasing him.

Their closeness might be misinterpreted due to Miki and others being overly clingy, distorting Chika’s sense of personal space.

“I was really embarrassed that time. I couldn’t bear it; it felt like those 2D events had come to life. It was so thrilling, and I just couldn’t take it.”

“…I see, Saito, that’s why you suddenly left the ice cream shop?”

With a look as if she’s just tasted a bitter pill, Miki nods while her face is still bright red.

“Hey, don’t make it sound like we were engaged in some outrageous public display of affection.”

“For someone with zero romantic experience like me, it was embarrassing enough!”

She glares at him fiercely. This is bad.

Facing Miki, who is constantly feeling embarrassed, Soma’s back is drenched in cold sweat.

Miki has a ridiculous misunderstanding.

He never intended for them to be seen as a silly couple; this is no joke, and if he let her misunderstanding spread throughout the class, it’ll be a huge problem.

‘I must absolutely put a stop to this right now.’

“Saito, come with us on Sunday. Once you see for yourself, you’ll realize it’s a misunderstanding. Okay?”

“I’m telling you, it’s too embarrassing, so I don’t want to go with you… If you just want me to secretly watch you lovey-dovey, that’s fine, but——”

“Secretly want you to watch? We won’t show you! And we won’t be lovey-dovey!”

‘Thank goodness Chika isn’t here in the classroom. If she heard this conversation, she’d definitely tease me mercilessly.’
