What a twist! The loser heroine!

Upon arriving at the classroom, Wen Shui placed her backpack, which couldn't fit into the drawer, into the space near the window.

As the day closest to the weekend of the week, the atmosphere in the class was somewhat restless.

Wen Shui lay on the table, observing and listening to his classmates' reactions and behaviors according to his own preferences.

"Oh no... The student council just took my treasured items! Am I going to have to write a self-criticism?"

“I heard from the seniors on the track and field team that this isn’t actually a big disciplinary violation. I don’t have to train after school today, so let’s go to the student council together to get the things back.”

"Thank you! Lemon! You're so kind, sob sob. By the way, Lemon, you don't seem to care much about your backpack being checked."

"Me? No, I don't. I don't bring anything weird. Besides, I usually run into school, so they can't catch me."

Wow, it seems like Shao Yan said something really out of line with a straight face...

"Ryo-chan, is there anywhere you want to go this weekend?" "How about an amusement park? I heard the Ferris wheel there is fixed." "Great! What about Nonomura-chan?" "I want to stay home..." "Sigh~ Let's go out and have fun~" "I'm too tired..."

[That's right, going to parties is really tiring. Weekends are for relaxing at home!]

Wen Shui nodded in deep agreement.

Speaking of which, neither of the most affectionate girls in our class, Hanami and Hakamada, are here today? What's going on? Did they get caught by the student council and are therefore late?

Moreover, Teacher Gan Xia didn't come either; she should have been standing on the podium long ago at this time.

Just as he was feeling a bit strange, a series of indistinct noises came from outside the classroom door. Then, the door was pulled open forcefully, and the students overheard the argument.

"Apricot, please let me explain. I really didn't have any improper thoughts..."

"They've already called him ○ Han, what else do you have to say? You perverted Kusuke!"

"So, I didn't mean to. Who knew she would rush over at the corner?"

"I don't understand!"

The blue-haired girl stormed into the classroom, followed by a troubled-looking Hakamada Sosuke. But really, could this kind of conversation be called an argument? It was more like flirting.

[Sigh, I shouldn't have missed that couple. They should just explode on the spot.]

Wen Shui rolled her eyes, took out her textbook for the first English class, and then waited quietly with her classmates for the homeroom teacher to arrive.

Ms. Gan Xia, a petite teacher, rushed into the classroom.

"Sorry! Something came up, so I was delayed!" Teacher Gan Xia picked up the chalk and wrote the words "Transfer Student" on the blackboard.

"Today, we have a transfer student coming to our class. Let's give her a warm welcome! She's currently going through the formalities and will be here in a little while."

"Speaking of transfer students, here's something I'd like to tell you about..."

Teacher Gan Xia has started her lectures again, which have their own unique teaching style. To put it nicely, it's called adult wisdom; to put it bluntly, it's not suitable for children.

With dead fish eyes, Wen Shui slumped on the table, utterly dejected. She didn't take a single word of the homeroom teacher's nonsense to heart, saving herself the mental strain of retorting to every single one.

How exactly did Teacher Gan Xia pass the teacher qualification interview...?

"Boom! Boom!"

There was a knock on the classroom door.

"Teacher Gan Xia, the procedures are complete!"

A sweet voice came from the classroom doorway.

【Huh? Why does that sound familiar?】

The classmates all peeked out, and then, suppressed gasps echoed throughout the classroom.

"Wow! The people in the Education Commission are suddenly very efficient!" Teacher Gan Xia nodded repeatedly: "Then come in and get to know everyone."

"Hime-kun."

【ha????????】

The lifeless fish eyes, which had been filled with lukewarm water, suddenly widened to enormous size.

The next second, a tall and beautiful girl walked in with a graceful and poised demeanor.

Her long pink hair was gently swayed by the breeze, stirring the hearts of the boys. Even the Ishiru High School uniform, which they saw every day, seemed to have a unique charm on her.

The moment Himegami smiled.

—A flash of light. Sparkling points of light began to dance around Himegami-kun. Although Nuwa couldn't hear it, her special background music was probably playing at that moment.

Without any deliberate affectation, Himegami Karen, with her flawless face, simply stood on the podium with a smile, exuding a cheerful and adorable youthful aura.

[Heroine]

The same words echoed in everyone's mind.

Of course, these are not the most important.

the most important is--

[Very large]

Why didn't I notice it at the time? Was it because of my cotton-padded coat?

"What the hell am I thinking?!"

A very impolite thought suddenly popped into Wen Shui's mind, and he looked away with a slightly flushed face.

On the podium, after writing her name, Himegami turned around and bowed slightly to her classmates.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Himegami Karen. Please take care of me."

Then, starting with some student, scattered applause and gasps of surprise rang out.

"Awesome!"

"so beautiful……"

"Wow... Long live Byzantium!"

"Oh? Oh! Long live Byzantium!!!!"

【Teacher Gan Xia, please stop meddling in this!】

About half a minute later, the commotion in the classroom gradually subsided. Himegami Karen stood on the podium as if nothing had happened, seemingly used to this situation.

"Then, Himegami-san, please choose a seat."

Seeing that the students had quieted down, Teacher Gan Xia said.

"Okay, Teacher Gan Xia."

Himegami's crimson eyes darted around the classroom, as if searching for something.

Before long, she saw Wen Shuiheyan sitting near the back door of the classroom, constantly glancing at her with his eyes.

Hua Lian's lips involuntarily curled upwards.

She raised her right hand slightly, wanting to greet Wen Shui immediately, but realized that she was now the center of everyone's attention.

Hmm... Could it be that Wen Shui-jun is socially awkward?

No, that's not it. If you suddenly strike up a conversation with him, he might be a little confused at first...

[The saying "cold on the outside, warm on the inside" probably describes this person perfectly.]

Recalling the valuable information Asahi-kun had given her, Himegami Karen's right hand froze in mid-air—

"No, suddenly contacting Wen Shui would definitely bother him..."

"We need to find an opportunity."

With that in mind, Himegami started searching for her target again.

then.

"Ah! You're that ○ Han!"

She pointed to Hakamada Sosuke, who had a misunderstanding with her that morning and was sitting in the front row by the window, and said loudly.

"You! I already said it was a misunderstanding!!!"

"Kusuke..."

"Apricot vegetable?! Why are you elbowing me?!"

"Sousuke, looking at you like this, I'll have to bump you with my shoulder too!"

The noise in the classroom grew louder and louder, and Wen Shui, who had seen all of Himegami Karen's little tricks, now just wanted to find a crack in the ground to live out the rest of her life with her.

"Teacher Ganxia! I want to sit somewhere further away from this guy!" Ji Gong declared decisively!

"Huh? Oh! Then sit down, uh, who was that again?"

Gan Xia pointed at the warm water, but hesitated for a long time before finally managing to say its name.

"Teacher... my name is Wenshui Kazuhiko, and I'm a student in your class..."

Wen Shui, whose face darkened as Gan Xia locked onto him, muttered in a low voice.

"Oh right, then Himegami-san can sit behind Nukumi-san. You shouldn't have any nearsightedness issues, right?"

"No, thank you, teacher!"

A gentle breeze followed the girl's footsteps, and behind her came the faint sound of tables and chairs being moved.

Kazuhiko Nukumizu, a high school student who yearns for peace and quiet, realizes—

The high school life I longed for might...

"It's been a long time!"

Himegami Karen's voice suddenly rang in her ears, as if she was trying hard to suppress a laugh.

"Warm, water, fellow, learner."

~Seventh Defeat~ Himegami Karen cautiously approaches

"Therefore, we can deduce that the longer side of this triangle is..."

The math teacher was writing furiously on the blackboard, while Wen Shui was marking key points in her textbook and forcing herself to listen attentively to the teacher's explanation.

The sensation caused by Himegami Karen joining the class did not subside even after three classes.

Even during the last math class, Wen Shui noticed that some classmates would occasionally steal a glance back at her—Hime-kun behind her.

Wen Shuihe, who usually actively carries out his plan to eliminate his presence, had never experienced such a saturation bombardment of gazes before. Even the splash damage almost made him have difficulty breathing.

Not to mention the girls in the class during three consecutive breaks—

"Hime-kun's skin is so good! What skincare products do you use?!"

"Hime-kun's figure is so well-maintained... does she exercise regularly?"

"Himemiya-san..." "Himemiya-san!" "Nice to meet you, Himemiya-san."

[Sigh, I know, I know, I'm just like that male extra in a yuri harem anime, I get it. I'll just explode on the spot to liven things up for everyone.]

The pale-faced student, Wen Shui, was very good at reading the atmosphere. She obediently gave up her seat and did not appear in the classroom for three consecutive breaks.

After processing the fact that "Himemiya Karen suddenly transferred to my class," I was spared the noise from my classmates and even the girls from the next class who rushed over upon hearing the news, which disturbed my hard-won peace.

After all, these girls are the kind of teenage girls who can make a math teacher spend half a minute getting them out of the heated discussion about "Can Himegami-kun have lunch with me today?!" and get them to focus on their studies.

As for your question to the author, "Oh, what did Wen Shui do during those three breaks?", the author can only say that while we at Shilu High School may not be able to guarantee a lot of other things, we certainly have plenty of tap water, um.

"From the perspective of the application of trigonometric functions, this question is actually a bit beyond the syllabus..." The math teacher on the podium adjusted his glasses: "However, if the students have extra time..."

Wen Shui nodded and wrote down the key points in her notes. The part the teacher was explaining in this lesson had been covered in a previous tutoring session…

"Da~"

A faint sound came from the drawer of the table.

"Um?!"

Wen Shui tensed up instantly, bent down to look into the drawer, and found a small crumpled piece of paper. Cold sweat immediately broke out on her forehead.

Who else but the person in the back seat would toss this thing into my drawer...?

Don't pass notes in class!

Thinking this, Wen Shui cautiously turned her head back, and out of the corner of her eye, she could only see that the girl in the back seat, Himegami, had a slightly red face and was pretending that nothing had just happened as she looked at the blackboard.
