Chapter 1 â Request from Enami-san\nVolume 2\n<hr class="wp-block-separator is-style-wide">\n\nAfter school, I headed for the club room.\n\n
When I entered the first laboratory, the club president was already there. For some reason, he was naked on top. I could see his untrained, slender back.\n
âWhat are you doing, President?â\n
At the sound of my voice, he turned around. His chest hair was thick. I donât think itâs something I want to see too much.\n
âOokusu? No, I was just trying out the dry rubbing technique.â (TN: Kanpu masatsu â you can google it)\n
Looking closely, I noticed a towel in his hand. It was a towel with a characterâs picture on it, apparently obtained at a Comiket.\n
âWhy Dry rubbing?â\n
âI heard itâs good for your health. Iâm taking an exam this year, you know. I donât want to ruin my health, so Iâve been trying out different ways to stay healthy.â\n
âIf youâre worried about your exams, shouldnât you just retire from club activities?â\n
âYouâre so right, itâs boring.â\n
Even though he has so much chest hair, the hair on the front of his head is so thin that it makes me sad. Itâs a pace that makes me think that heâll probably lose almost all his hair before 30.\n
âDo you want to try it, Ookusu?ăItâs not bad.â\n
âNo thanks. I donât want to. If you have time to do that, please study.â\n
I sat down on the chair in front of the lab table, away from the president.\n
The presidentâs mouth was agape in frustration. However, despite his displeasure, his grades are very good. He has been ranked first in his senior year of high school. I guess he has always been good at what he does. He has been able to get into Tohashi University while maintaining his amazing game skills.\n
I guess thatâs what you call a genius. âŠâŠ\n
I turned on my portable game console and started up the software to memorize English words as usual.\n
And thatâs when I realized that Saito and his friends hadnât arrived yet. I left them behind because they were still reading erotic novels after all the classes were over. Maybe theyâll be too engrossed in their erotic novels to come to the club activities today.\n
âOokusu. There arenât many here today.â\n
I heard the presidentâs voice and looked around.\n
Indeed, there were only a few people. Itâs not just Saito and Shindo. Only about half of the usual number of people were here. I wondered why there were so few people, even though nothing had happened today.\n
âDo you know something, President?â\n
But the director shook his head. If he didnât know anything about it, then it must be nothing. It was just a coincidence that there were not many people there.\n
âOkay, then, shall we play Mar-kart?\n
âNo.â\n
âNot possible again?â\n
Unfortunately, the day would never come when I would be able to play a game with the president. Itâs because I refuse to do so. Itâs not a matter of ânot yetâ. I will never do it.\n
âIsnât it fine.? I donât have much time before graduation, and since Iâm going to be absent for most of the third semester, this is the only chance youâll have to play games with me.â\n
âShut up. Please go away so I can concentrate.â\n
âSad âŠâŠâ\n
He trudged back to the front. I wondered if he was cold because he was still half-naked.\n
I looked around the first laboratory again.\n
It was quieter than usual. At this time of the day, there are always groups of people, and itâs always noisy. But now, I see people playing solo.\n
I notice one of them, a first-year student, is wearing a mask on his mouth. Heâs coughing every now and then. He didnât seem to be in very good shape.\n
I wondered if a cold had started to spread. In my class, there were no absentees yet, but I didnât know what was going on in the other classes.\n
Thinking that I should be careful, I looked down at the screen of my portable game console.\n\n
When it was about 5:00 p.m., I turned off the game console.\n
The number of people in the first laboratory had decreased even more. It seemed that the first-year student who had been wearing a mask had already left.\n
It was starting to get dark outside the window. The sunsets are really early these days.\n
The president hadnât left yet. To my surprise, he had been rubbing dry cloth all day. He was still naked on top.\n\n
âI wouldnât care if you caught a cold.â\n\n
I left the first laboratory with only a warning.\n
I left the school building and headed for the main gate. I saw the usual figure next to the main gate.\n
It was Enami-san. For some reason, only today, Nishikawa was also with her.\n
âYouâre late.â\n
Enami-san said. She seemed to be in a slightly bad mood. Of course, she wouldnât have waited here all the time after school right?. When I looked at my phone, I noticed that I had received a message on my line.\n
Risa Enami: I need to talk to you, so let me know when youâre done with club activities.\n\n
I rushed to apologize.\n\n
 âIâm sorry. I didnât notice it at all. âŠâŠâ\n
âItâs okay, I was not waiting that long after all.â\n
Iâm glad I left early. If I had left it any longer, I donât know what she might have said to me.\n
âIâm sorry, Naocchi, it was so sudden. So, are you okay with the time?â\n\n
I nodded.\n\n
âIf it doesnât take too long. Iâm already done with the shopping, so as long as we donât go past 6 pm, I think Iâll be fine.â\n
âIt wonât be that late.ăThen letâs go.â\n\n
As they started walking, I followed them.\n
âSo whatâs the story?ăI mean, where are we going?â\n
But both only gave vague answers to my questions.\n
âIâll tell you later~â\n\n
Like Enami-san, Nishikawa is also surprisingly forceful. I walked down the hill, freezing in the cold.\n\n
