While I Was Giving Love Advice to My Best Friend, the School's Most Beautiful Girl Somehow Became the Closest Person to Me-Chapter 1Volume .5 - The Most Popular Girl at School Has Her Eye On Me

The Most Popular Girl at School Has Her Eye On Me

“Sit here.”

“Ah, yes.”

We took our seats at a corner table, with Asahina-san sitting opposite me and I sat facing the entrance.

Now, sitting face-to-face with Asahina Alisa, I was once again struck by her beauty.

She has long platinum blonde hair, emerald green eyes, beautiful features, and a perfectly sculpted nose.

I had heard that not all half-Japanese people were necessarily beautiful, but Asahina Alisa was stunning.

It had been a while since I’d encountered someone whose appearances was so intense that it was almost difficult to look directly at her.

“Um, why did you call me out here? Wasn’t school good enough?”

“Perhaps, but before that, did you know about this place?”

“No, I had no idea there was such a nice cafe near the school.”

“I see, I thought you wouldn’t know. I haven’t seen any other students here besides myself. It would be troublesome if they started coming.”

Asahina-san leaned forward slightly and glanced outside.

Her proximity was unsettling, but even more so was a certain part of her when she leaned in. I felt bad and averted my eyes.

It seemed almost unfair for someone to be both beautiful and have such a great figure.

“Phew, no one’s around.”

Asahina-san seemed to be very cautious of her surroundings.

Come to think of it, she had chosen the seat at the very back of the cafe, a spot recessed into the building and hidden from outside view.

I remembered Suzuki and Satou mentioning that Asahina Alisa didn’t participate in any club activities and would head home as soon as classes ended.

Moreover, she would disappear around the school building, making it difficult for anyone to invite her out after school.

Perhaps she was intentionally making herself hard to find.

“Do you not want this place to be known?”

“Yes. I get bothered by all sorts of invitations at school, and it’s quite troublesome.”

After all, she was incredibly popular. It probably wasn’t just my acquaintances who were inviting her out.

“Why don’t you join any clubs? What if you stayed until the evening at school?”

“I thought about joining the Gardening Club with Shizuku at first, but during the trial period, the club was swarmed with boys, all there for me.”

“Wow…”

“I didn’t want to cause trouble to her, so I decided not to join.”

Asahina-san looked up, her gaze distant.

“Even when I escape to the library, they follow me around. I have no place to stay inside the school. I found this place when I was looking for somewhere to hide.”

“I see. The spot where you’re sitting now can’t be seen from outside, so it’s perfect for spending time.”

I realized she was dealing with a more serious issue than I had thought.

If that was the case…

“Was it really okay for you to tell me about this place?”

“It wasn’t. I never wanted to expose this place of respite to anyone. But still, I needed to talk to you.”

So she had thought it through that much.

Despite the risk of it leaking to other boys, Asahina-san had decided to contact me.

“I won’t tell anyone.”

Then I should have taken her feelings into consideration.

“I’m not lying. I will never reveal Asahina-san’s whereabouts to anyone.”

“Why? You don’t get anything by hiding it.”

“I understand how it feels because a friend of mine went through something similar.”

My best friend Reo had a similar experience in junior high school.

As he matured and grew taller, he attracted the attention of some overzealous girls.

They would follow him around all the time, and there were even stalking incidents.

Being his childhood friend, it was tough for me too. I remember the time I was threatened with a knife and told not to come near him because I wasn’t a good match for Reo.

Such experiences really toughen you up mentally. You become unshakable no matter what happens.

On the flip side, I became scared of assertive girls, so honestly, I’m quite intimidated by the girl in front of me.

By the way, the reason Reo isn’t dating anyone at the moment is because of his distrust of girls. If even a guy like Reo can be pursued to that extent, I can only imagine the fear a girl like Asahina-san must feel.

Having witnessed it up close, I know all too well the troubles that come with being popular.

“Thank you. Well, if you did tell anyone, something very unpleasant might happen to you, so it’s probably better for you to keep quiet.”

“Huh?”

“Do you want to know?”

“I’ll pass.”

She’s the most popular girl in school and also very smart. Maybe she has her own ways of dealing with things and could easily set me up if she wanted to.

“I’m glad that you are someone who can understand the situation, Kogure-kun.”

I sense Asahina-san’s lips relax slightly. Maybe she’s let her guard down a bit.

“Since we’re here, let’s order something. Master.”

Asahina-san raises her hand, and the master of the cafe approaches immediately.

“I’ll have the daily special coffee, please. What about you, Kogure-kun?”

“I’ll have the same.”

I hadn’t even glanced at the menu on the table.

It’s my first time here, and it’s probably best to go with what Asahina-san, who seems more accustomed to this place, is having.

After the master leaves our table, the conversation between Asahina-san and me comes to a halt.

It’s time to get to the main topic.

“So, what did you want to talk to me about? It’s about Otsuki-san, isn’t it?”

Asahina-san’s eyes sharpen, a contrast to her previously softened expression.

“Kogure-kun, what do you think of Shizuku? You seem to be getting along well with her lately. I heard she’s started talking to you in the mornings.”

“Could it be that I’m causing trouble for Otsuki-san?”

“It’s straight to hell if Shizuku is troubled by you, no questions asked.”

“That’s scary!”

“I’ll ask again. What are your intentions with my precious Shizuku?”

“Are you… angry?”

“I’m not angry. It’s just that Shizuku is my childhood friend and best friend. I absolutely can’t have her stolen by some random guy. You can understand, right?”

Yeah no, I don’t understand. But I can’t say that out loud.

“You might look harmless, but you’re in the same group as that Hirasawa Reo.”

“About Reo… is he really that untrustworthy?”

“I dislike frivolous and condescending men, and Hirasawa Reo is at the top of that list. I’m always being bothered by his followers.”

She must be referring to Suzuki, Satou, and Tanaka. Those three seem to have a crush on Asahina-san and are quite persistent.

Hence, she harbors a prejudice against Reo, the leader of our group.

“They’re so persistent, always asking for my contact details or to hang out. Just so you know, I have no intention of interacting with my classmates or sharing my contact information while I’m in high school.”

I’ve heard that Asahina-san doesn’t disclose her contact information to anyone.

She’s not even in the class group chat on LINE, and probably only a select few girls know how to reach her.

Yet, she remains as the most popular girl, perhaps due to her intelligence and beauty.

It’s common for girls like her to be dating college students or working adults.
