Chapter 16
Yuma Mochizuki

(Could it be that girls’ voices make him nervous?)

(So it’s just like Nito said, after all…)

Are you bad at dealing with women?

Touji Harimiya

Haeh!? A-As if that could be! I’m a man of the Harimiya name!

I’ve already mastered Father’s “killer smile”!

Female Student A

Ah, I found Harimiya-kun!

Touji Harimiya

[SCREAM]

Female Student A

Harimiya-kun’s specialty mini cakes were the most delicious thing ever~!

Touji Harimiya

A—um—a—a—a—aah—um—…

As Harimiya panicked, the girl turned around to join the others in line for Nito’s cotton candy.

Touji Harimiya

A—aa—…. ah, aaaaaaaaah!

Yuma Mochizuki

… Harimiya, she’s already gone.

Touji Harimiya

Ha—!? I— I knew that!

Yuma Mochizuki

As I thought, you really are bad with them.

Touji Harimiya

Who’s bad with them!? I’m Harimiya Touji!

Yuma Mochizuki

You really don’t have to hide it. Everyone has something that they’re not good at.

As for me, I’m bad at handling Tokyo prices.

Touji Harimiya

Let me say it once more! There is nothing that the great me cannot do!

Female Student A

Kyaaa~! Yanagi-senpai is sooo cool~!

Touji Harimiya

Eek…!?

Yuma Mochizuki

… Do you want to hide in my booth until you calm down?

Touji Harimiya

Wh- whatareyousayingthatmakesnosenseatallbut… Hmph, well, I suppose you’re right. I’ll rest for a moment.

Wiping the sweat from his brow with an expensive-looking handkerchief, Harimiya crouched down at the foot of the booth, where even more plates than before were piled sky high.

Yuma Mochizuki

Harimiya, would you like a bite of this?

Touji Harimiya

What is that?

Yuma Mochizuki

Fukuregashi. It’s Kagoshima’s specialty.

Touji Harimiya

Fukuregashi? … Could it be, this is your “specialty item”?

Yuma Mochizuki

Yeah. It’s really yum—

Suddenly, the sound of tapping on the microphone echoed out.

Yuma Mochizuki

(Ah… I’ve never seen that Sensei before.)

Taking the microphone into his hand, he looked around the venue with gentle eyes and smiled happily.

Masachika Inoh

Congratulations on your admission. I am the homeroom teacher of the second-year Elite Class, Masachika Inoh.

Takaomi Shishimaru

!? This voice…

… No, it’s probably just similar. That’s impossible.

Masachika Inoh

I hate to interrupt in the middle of such a fun welcome party, but the Chairman has a message for you all.

Saruwatari-sensei, I leave the rest to you.

Kiichi Saruwatari

It’s finally my turn! Dearest students! Are you enjoying this fine night of your welcome party to the fullest?

I’m so glad to see that the specialties gathered by the students of the Elite Class seem to be a big hit.

You may have noticed that today’s party venue is a competition for followers… in other words, a microcosm of a Dream Live.

Yuma Mochizuki

(“Dream Live”…? I wonder if that’s the name of the lives we performed inside of that dream world yesterday?)

Kiichi Saruwatari

In a “Dream Live”, it is not your specialty but your own personal ability and charm that you exhibit in order to obtain “virtue”.

For the two performing as a pair in the Dream Live, the deeper their bonds, the more followers they will attract, and their bond with that dream will grow stronger—

In doing so, they will be able to fill the dreams of the people of this school – no, the entire world – with happiness!

In other words, the Dream Live is a place to create a magnificent future!

????

Ahaha~ what the heck’s he saying, I didn’t even get most of it~

Yanagi Hanabusa

It means that the one who’s the most popular in the Dream Live will be able to easily secure the top seat.

Shigure Hakka

How unusual for you to listen seriously to what a teacher is saying.

Yanagi Hanabusa

Hakka…

????

Shigure-chan, ya-ho~ so you do go to parties~

Shigure Hakka

Yes, on occasion.

More importantly, Hanabusa, I thought you would have no interest in things like Dream Lives or the top seat.

Yanagi Hanabusa

Why’s that? Did I ever say anything like that?

Shigure Hakka

I’ve seen you treat your male followers like garbage more times than I can count, so I thought you’d already thrown away the chance to acquire popularity.

????

Fufu. Yanagi is only nice to girls, so it makes sense that he’s not popular with guys aaaat all~

Yanagi Hanabusa

Well… until last year, at least. People can change, can’t they?
