「U-Umm… W-Why do you think that way, Sasaki-san?」
It was such a nonsensical statement that I decided to straightforwardly ask why she thought that.
「Eh? Well, because… I’m not as cute as “Haruka” or “Chisa”, right? Guys would prefer a cute girl like that as their girlfriend, wouldn’t they?」
「Ahh, I see─… wait, Eh!?」
Sasaki-san’s response was far too surprising.
(I-I mean, I get that those two are really cute…)
The two girls Sasaki-san mentioned are indeed incredibly cute.
Sakurai Haruka-san, who is also Natsue’s girlfriend, has an adorable charm and looks like she could be an idol.
And the other one, Saegusa Chisako-san, is beautiful enough to be a celebrity, and she serves as the vice president of the student council, so she has a lot of leadership and is highly popular among the students.
So as Sasaki-san just said, both Sakurai-san and Saegusa-san are indeed extremely popular with the boys…
(Mmm, but if we’re talking about that, Sasaki-san is also quite popular with the boys, though?)
Well, it’s true that Sasaki-san has slightly sharp eyes, so at first glance, she might seem like a bit of a tough girl.
But honestly, Sasaki-san is definitely in the cute category, and above all, her brea… I mean, her style is incredibly sexy… I mean, she has a very healthy and seemingly powerful physique.
Moreover, Sasaki-san has no two-facedness at all and has a very straightforward personality.
That’s why she’s easy to talk to even for boys, and she also makes sharp retorts with a smile to the silly jokes and antics that are typical of boys.
(A girl who goes along with those silly jokes and antics typical of boys is really appreciated by the boys.)
I mean, for adolescent boys, talking to girls requires quite a bit of courage.
That’s why, honestly, for adolescent boys, talking to Sakurai-san or Saegusa-san is quite a high hurdle, but Sasaki-san is one of the few girls who even adolescent boys can talk to quite easily.

Well, I’m not the type to make silly jokes or antics, so I haven’t had those typical boyish conversations with Sasaki-san, but still, because Sasaki-san is an easy-going girl, I’ve always found it easy to talk to her.
(So, since Sasaki-san is cute, has a great figure, and is easy to talk to… there’s no way a girl like that wouldn’t be popular with the boys, right?)
That’s why I was surprised to hear Sasaki-san’s statement. So, while still surprised, I decided to firmly refute Sasaki-san’s words.
(W-Well, it’s a bit embarrassing… but I need to properly convey that Sasaki-san is a popular girl.)
「U-Um… I-I mean, sure, Sakurai-san and Saegusa-san are really cute, but Sasaki-san, you’re cute too, aren’t you?」
「Eh?」
It might have been a bit of a cheesy line, but still, I tried to straightforwardly convey that Sasaki-san is cute.
For a moment, Sasaki-san looked surprised. But then she quickly put on a self-deprecating smile and said.
「Funn… I don’t need such flattery.」
「Eh… Ehh!? N-No, I didn’t mean it as flattery…」
I thought I was honestly conveying my true feelings, but for some reason, Sasaki-san seemed to misunderstand it as flattery.
(N-No way, I meant to say it from the bottom of my heart… but why did Sasaki-san think it was flattery?)
「U-Um… why did you think it was flattery?」
So I honestly asked Sasaki-san for the reason. Then, while twirling her hair a bit sulkily, she said.
「Because… I’ve never been confessed to by a boy even once.」
「Eh? A-Ahh, I see…」
(Ahh, so that’s what it is…)
Since Sasaki-san told me that, I kind of understood.
In short, because Sasaki-san has never been confessed to by a boy, she mistakenly thinks she’s on the unpopular side.
