Chapter 46: Don't Call Me The Princess Of The Department!


TL: Akabane


***


I had a discussion with Kekai-senpai as soon as I arrived at the university.


"I found out who the culprit is. I want to catch up with him, so can't you use your connections to make sure I can go to this circle's new camp?"


"Finding the culprit yesterday is amazing. Well, your methods are too dirty, but I admire your spirit of trying to protect women. That's good. I know some people in that circle. I'll put a twist on it."


I told him honestly about the evidence that I had found the culprit and about the circle camp. Kekai-senpai was the king of the riajuu, but he was the kind of guy who almost got a criminal record for misbehaving before he went to college. He was understanding of my way of doing things.


"Thank you very much. By the way, is that a circle? Is it what you call a "yarisa" circle?"


The flyer for the newcomer's camp was glaring and full of excitement. I'm slightly skeptical that they're having an orgy at the camp.


"Yarisa, huh.... It's almost impossible to find a circle that has an orgy like people imagine. And the clubs there are officially recognized by the university. There's no such thing as hooking up on vacation. But there are some bad rumors about this circle."


"Bad rumors?"


"I've heard about it in university clubs and circles every once in a while. There's no police report, and there's no concrete story in the newspapers or on the Internet. I'm sure it's just a rumor made up by the backbiting of the people who can't get into the clubs there because they are famous for their flamboyance. But since yesterday's blue liquor and that circle are connected after your investigation, I guess you'll be fine. Good luck with the culprit. Let me know if you hear anything else."


In college, stories of crimes like this are sometime appears in the news. There are probably people who are repeating such crimes, just not being discovered. It's repulsive.


"Yes, sir. Leave it to me!"


The arrangements for participating in the camp where the criminals are located are now in place. All we have to do now is to beat them to a pulp. We must not be negligent in our preparations.








It was when we were having lunch at the school cafeteria with the usual members. Yuzuriha looked somewhat restless and was squirming around.


"What's wrong? Let me know if you need help. I'll help you."


Ayashiro, in her usual mine fashion, urged Yuzuriha in a gentle, motherly voice that didn't suit her. This is the kind of thing that makes me want to respect this woman.


"Thank you, Ayashiro. Actually...it's...very...hard to ask...but...could someone please throw me a joint party?"


Me, Ayashiro, and Milan's eyes darted around. Hatena marks appeared in my head. Yuzuriha is quite shy with strangers. What does it mean that this girl wants us to hold a blind date?


"Oh, don't get me wrong! I am not looking for a chance to meet a guy! Become Kanata's second is enough for me!"


"What's with that tsundere, but you're putting yourself down! You can aim higher, Yuzuriha! You don't have to call yourself my second! I mean, stop it! My reputation's going to suffer!"


"Oops. I have to explain myself. What I want is to meet a woman!"


I don't think that's an explanation. Yuzuriha is a shy and communicative person at heart. I'm sure she didn't have enough words. And our members are all idiots who play pranks on it.


"Terrible! You were just playing around with me, weren't you! I let you lose your virginity gently at the love hotel (karaoke) the other night...! You got tired of me and ran off with another woman! Aaahhh!"


Milan's crying face is a waste of acting talent.


"Hey Yuzuriha! Apologize to Milan! She gently took your (karaoke) virginity, and you got tired of it and dumped her! She gave her virginity to you! I don't care how big her tits are! Punpun!"


Ayashiro Mama gently squeezes Milan.


"That's terrible! That's karaoke talking! Please don't make it sound as if I'm a virgin-eating b*tch! Even though I've been called the princess of the math department lately! Oh no! I don't want to be called a b*tch!"


Yuzuriha has often been called by the title of "Princess of Mathematics Department", which may or may not be honorable, since her college debut by Ayashiro's fashion coordination. Ayashiro's fashion sense is good, but most of the clothes Yuzuriha is wearing these days are so-called "virginity-killing" fashion.


"Princess of the Department of Mathematics (lol). I'm so envious of you, because I've been called the prince of the literature department. I wish I could be called a princess at least once. Pfft."


"Kee! You humanities majors with so many girls! Why am I the only girl in the math department? I've automatically become a princess, and it's like I've forced my grossness on someone else!"


Milan, a virgin, takes this opportunity to play with her (laughs). And Yuzuriha, who stiffly hates being called a princess.


"So, why the blind date? From what I hear, it doesn't sound like what Yuzuriha is looking for, does it? Did someone ask you to throw a blind date? Or people in the math department? I can turn them down if you want me to."


"I'm glad you feel that way, Kanata. But I'm stumped about this blind date. Please listen to me. I want to tell you why I want you to have a blind date..."


Then, Yuzuriha started to talk about why she wanted the party to be held.









Ayashiro summed up the story with a reluctant look on her face. The inside story of the math department that Yuzuriha told us was pretty hilarious, and me and Milan were donkey-dogging.


"So, to summarize, if only the boys in the math department could have a girlfriend, they would be less likely to call me a princess."


"Yes. That's what I meant."


"Besides, the boys who treat Yuzuriha the most like a princess are the real geniuses in mathematics, and they are locked on to that Hagiri."


"Yes. If things continue as they are, the math department will be taken away from her by a creepy guy who likes her dreams more than her tits..."


I heard that Yuzuriha belongs to the math department, and Hagiri is trying to manipulate it. It's the kind of woman-meets-manipulation that he's good at. The so-called "bright" type in the math department are said to have been taken in by Hagiri's student council. In other departments, this would have been enough to suppress them, but not in the math department. It seems to be a tradition at the Imperial Capital University that the strength of one's voice within the mathematics department is determined by one's mathematical ability. Fortunately, this year's bright students have low math ability, so the entire department has not been affected by the student council.


"The ones who have a strong voice in the mathematics department now are the boys who are called Santenami, who are real geniuses. Including me, they are called the Four Heavenly Kings of the Mathematics Department. They are real geniuses whose peer-reviewed papers have been accepted even before they enter the department. The professors say that this is the best year in recent decades. I think that's why that guy came out. Santenami's mathematical ability should be applicable to other fields. That man's dream of making the world a better place may also come true. That is why the man tried to control Santenami by assigning him an exceptionally beautiful woman. Fortunately, Santenami is very picky about women, so he failed. But lately, Santenami and his men have been crowding around me. Princess! Princess! They seem to like me...ahaha.... Please give me a break..."


Yuzuriha looks sooty. Are these Santenami guys that annoying?


"But I don't think there are any girls we can introduce to those who kick beautiful women of the level Hagiri introduces...and I don't want to introduce girls to guys who are so picky about their preferences."


Milan has seen Hagiri's pedantry on the side. Even though it's a blind date, she's probably not comfortable with something similar.


"I am also resistant to it. But at the same time, Santenami and the others are good comrades in mathematical research for me, so I don't want them to go to Hagiri's side. Also, what they like isn't about face or style..."


"Hmm? Then what kind of girls do they like?"


"They want normal encounters. They are idiots, but they are not stupid. They see right through Hagiri's ulterior motives. No matter how much he can like a beautiful girl, she is working for Hagiri. They don't want that. They said they wanted a normal relationship. To be honest, I sympathized with them. They are the same as me. Hagiri has his eyes on them, and on top of that, they have a hard time being taken seriously by the opposite sex because of their talents. They are always annoying people, but I felt pity for them as they sulk about their virginity and seek normal encounters. I hope you can help them."


Yuzuriha has a somewhat sad smile on her face. Is she comparing her former self to that Santenami? If so, I think it's a good thing. Yuzuriha seems to have been quite full of herself. Ayashiro and Milan gave  kindness. And they are trying to give it to someone else. It is a happy thing.


"Okay. A normal blind date. I'll try to arrange it."


"Really? Thank you! They're really annoying, but they're good people at heart! Annoying! They are so annoying! They are good people! So please give them a chance to meet nice people!"


I think Yuzuriha until a while ago was somewhat afraid of strangers. She is that kind of girl who holds on tightly to me, Ayashiro, and Milan. But she is trying to do something good for someone. If I don't make that happen, I'll be a man out of business. So I contacted a certain someone on my phone.


"Kirin-san? Good morning!"


||  "Ah, this voice is Hollywood, isn't it? Hi, how are you? What's up? Is this an invitation for a date? If it's Hollywood-kun, I can guarantee you a date until we go to a love hotel."


What is it? This otherworldly view of male-female dating. I feel a disconnect in values with Kirin-san's soft and fluffy voice coming from my phone. Ayashiro is looking at me like, "Are you okay?" and Milan is blushing and looking away, and Yuzuriha seems to be pulling back slightly.


"No. It's not a date. And you're with Kekai-senpai, right?"


||  "Eh? But I'm not dating K-kun, and when we meet, we just play and have sex, right? Don't you have to worry about that?"


"Uh! That's not what I meant! I want to go to a joint party! See! You said you wanted to introduce a Kodai student to your juniors!"


||  "Really? Kodai students are nice. I like them. Let's go to a party. By the way, I have a question."


"What is it?"


||  "Are you the flirty type? Or the serious type?"


She asked in a rather serious voice. We looked at each other. I was really perplexed by her serious voice, even though she had been speaking in a loose, crotchety voice a moment ago. But it's not a good atmosphere to lie.


"I'm more of a serious type, you know? Well, I'd like to make it a party where we can aim for normal romance and have a friendly atmosphere."


||  "I see. Serious guys, huh? Hey, are you a virgin? Or are you a non-virgin? Which one?"


Another serious voice echoes from my phone. I'm kind of scared. It's said that women are more serious about love, but this is almost insane. Is it my imagination?


"Well, all the participants are virgins. They are smart kids in the math department. They are annoying, but they are good people at heart. They're also very talented and have a promising future!"


I think women have a slight dislike for virgins. Especially the flamboyant ones like Kirin. But...


||  "Hmmm. I get it. Then I'll prepare a serious type of virgin too. I'll support them and Hollywood to make it go well. If possible, I want them to get to know each other well enough to get married. Let's make such a couple!"


"Eh? Um, a virgin for a virgin? Isn't that rather difficult?"


My theory is that it's difficult for a virgin to lead. I think it's okay for the other person to have some experience. On the contrary, the voice sounded serious again, yet with a terribly cold impression.


||  "I think it's better to be virgins and virgins and to go through life without knowing the opposite sex except for each other. You don't need to gain experience with the opposite sex. It's useless. You will only learn what you don't like about the opposite sex. Sex is the same, no matter who you have it with. So no one can be happy with that. ...There isn't."


"Kirin-san? Are you okay? I feel a little..."


||  "Haha. I'm sorry. Ehehe. See, girls like to talk about things. I got a little heated! Hehe!"


Rather, it was a coldness that felt empty, unrelated to heat. It was better not to tease them. But the other party's organizer is very enthusiastic. That's a very good thing.


||  "Then, let's do it tomorrow!"


"Huh? Tomorrow?


||  "Yes, tomorrow? It's actually the right day the moment you think of it! Don't worry about it! I'll think of a plan, so just give me some time, and I'll see you later..."


And then, the call went dead.


"...She's a terribly unique woman. I guess it's a good thing that she's so eager to get on board?"


Ayashiro is looking at her phone with somewhat worried eyes. It was an eye that seemed to be pitying something.


"Now that's a voice, but according to my analysis, you're holding a bat that would be a round in the batting order if it were baseball."


Yuzuriha's analysis, tainted with the Ayashiro virus, made Milan pale.


"One more person and you have double digits in experience?! It's an adult world...? I mean, it was the same for me, but how did you invent that method of determining the number of experiences? Are you too smart to be stupid?"


"A long time ago... a girl I thought was a my friend started leaving me as soon as she had a boyfriend and had sex with him... haha! I promised to go to karaoke with her! What are you doing with your boyfriend's microphone? I want to chest chest you! Kukuku!"


The motive for the invention was surprisingly heavy. Everyone has trauma, but I think Yuzuriha is seriously out of luck. From now on, I hope she enjoys her life with Ayashiro and Milan. That's what I thought. And we called Santenami right away and headed for Shimokita. We gave Ayashiro a fashion makeover, threw her into a hair salon, and taught Milan how to act so that she could act with some dignity in front of the opposite sex. I was a little apprehensive about going to a blind date, but I was ready for it.
