Shurabara!:Volume 1 Prologue

Prologue

The wind of May blew towards him with the delicate fragrance of the green trees; the classroom after school was filled with a tender sensation.

With her head lowered in shyness, the girl with flushed cheeks gazed at the boy’s gentle smiling face.

“Err… Yagimoto-kun.”

From her cherry-red lips came a clear bell-like voice.

“I'm glad I was able to be able to meet you...”

When the young girl raised her head, a pair of moist pupils were revealed.

The boy looked at the girl with tenderness and love.

“After all…”

Step by step. The young girl approached.

“Thanks to you, I’m going out with Takeshi-kun!”

Yet the young girl did not notice, the youth’s smile was slowly convulsing.

“Ahaha… That's what I’m supposed to do. After all, Miki-chan and I are friends.”

“I’m also glad that I'm friends with a good person like Yagimoto-kun. Thanks☆”

After the two waved hands, Miki lifted her skirt and left.

The youth whom had been left there alone, looked miserably at the leaves that fell with the wind.

“Wu…wahhhh ~~~ Ah! Why is it this kind of development again?”

The youth scratched his head, shouting while stomping his foot on the ground hysterically.

The tree leaf flew on to his leg.

Yagimoto Kazuhiro of Year Two Class Three is a good person.

This is something that Kuhito High's students – especially the girls can guarantee.

“I didn’t become a good old guy just because I wanted to!”

He, who was disgusted by himself after pondering over this matter, stomped on the ground continuously.

"I only want a girlfriend! But! Why! God only gave me a 'good guy' evaluation!"

Actually it isn't an image forced onto Kazuhiro by God.

Being well aware of his own actions.

He just did not want to be hated by girls. Hence, he acted as gentle as a knight.

Although looking as if he had no interest in these, he was actually using a wretched gaze to observe, and did not forget to joke.

When requested by someone, he of course accepted with a smile.

Has a normal appearance, but very concerned about personal hygiene.

Doing this will naturally earn the girls' trust, but he was only ordered around as a confidante.

Most of them were like that situation just now, things like "I want to confess to a boy I like" and "Hope you can be a peacemaker".

Kazuhiro played matchmaker for thirteen pairs of lovers, twenty-six people in total.

It feels like my role is the "same-gender friend that can help in getting a girlfriend" from a GALGAME.

Come to think of it, his neighbour-cum-childhood-friend and junior colleague will also say "I need help" occasionally, but they never uttered a word about that kind of thing.

“Aaaaaaaah! Really want! I really want a girlfriend!"

Although it was his own doing, when he found out about it, he was already a “good guy” and “good same-gender friend”.

That kind of truth must definitely not be said in front of a girl, Kazuhiro regretted that till he rolled on a grass patch.

It's best if nobody saw it, especially a dangerous big-mouth.

That’s logically wrong.

He wasn’t referring to the “no dangerous person” result.

Instead he was referring to the “somebody saw it” presupposition.

The image of him rolling and shouting, had been seen by a motionless shadow under the tree shade.

“I’ll go!”

Kazuhiro jumped up in shock after hearing that voice, and tidied himself.

The one who saw it was Hoshikawa Saotome.

This girl is also a well-known person in the school – as the most ordinary.

She wore large-frame glasses that are rare in this era, her hair was only tied up simply in a leather band.

Including class, there are a total of nineteen girls in the school who love to wear glasses, all of them believe that wearing glasses makes a contrast with them, and can accentuate their cuteness.

And among them, only Saotome uses vintage-style glasses.

“Err, err… haha…”

Crap. This is a serious situation.

So as not to hurt the feelings of girls, he usually uses words with caution for which he will not be hated, this is the origin of Kazuhiro's image. He did this because the girls’ gossiping rate is simply too shocking.

Once that strange behaviour just now and his truthful words are revealed to the public, Kazuhiro’s image in the class would be directly switched from “good guy” to “hypocritical and endless-desire pervert”.

His evaluation would plummet. It can be compared to a failure in nose-diving through the atmosphere, causing combustion in the stratosphere then falling to the earth, the intense turbulence would then lead to an explosion in which sparks flew, and at the end vanish without a trace.

“…Saw it?”

Kazuhiro asked, and Saotome opened her cherry-coloured lips and said with certainty,

“Everything has been seen.”

The extremely clear voice resounded beside the ear.

Now that it’s mentioned, although she was a classmate, it seemed that Saotome's voice was never heard.

“I’m not referring to your rolling just now, instead I saw Miki trying so hard that…mmhmm… Even so, since the beginning I’ve been staring at Yoshimoto-kun – Kazuhiro-kun.”

“Eh? Eh eh?”

Looks like I’ll have to be anxious about myself rolling about while shouting “I want a girlfriend”.

Moreover, she also said “been staring”. She also said my name.

Don’t tell me, she’s seen me in her dreams?

Saotome’s slender hand stretched towards her glasses frame, and slowly took off the glasses.

Under the thick lenses seemed to be – two beautiful pupils.

A pair of moist eyes were complemented by elongated eyebrows, as she stared at Kazuhiro.

I never thought that glasses would give such a strong impression to someone. Tender face, firm nose, complementing lips, large eyes, showed a perfect appearance.

Not just in the class, even in the whole school she was the most beautiful girl.

“Take off glasses and become a beauty” such a tale actually exists in real life!

The appearance that no other boy had known, now only I’ve witnessed it!

Unstylish glasses viva!

Unstylish glasses bravo!

God save the unstylish glasses!

“Kazuhiro-kun, I have a request.”

Her silky white hands clasped together in front of her chest.

Her soft but serious voice resounded clearly in her vocal cords.

“Wh…What?”

My anticipation grew rapidly, already about to explode.

“Can you be my… boyfriend?”

“Of course!”

I replied without hesitation. I couldn’t even resist shouting “Long live!”

This day has finally come. It must be the prize given to me by God for continuing the role of “good guy”!

Thanks, God! Good job, God! You should have given this to me earlier, God!

You probably forgot my curses at you just now, Kazuhiro shouted in his heart.

Endless thanks wouldn’t even be able to show my extreme happiness.

And in the snap of a finger.
