Chapter 13: Only in Legends

“Sigh…”

Yagi Miyuki lay on his desk, looking completely disheartened. To his side was Sazawa Heifu, who appeared somewhat skeptical.

“Yagi, are you really not dating Ninomiya-senpai?”

“Really, I’m not.”

Yagi Miyuki replied weakly, filled with frustration, almost grinding his teeth.

That darn Ninomiya-senpai! Thanks to her, my popularity in school has shot up by ninety-nine percent! In the past, even if I attracted some attention, it was mostly from infatuated girls during their mating season. But now, it’s all the male students giving me hateful glares. Heaven help me, in both my lifetimes combined, I’ve only held hands with girls. What does this have to do with me?

“No!”

Yagi Miyuki sat up straight, his gaze turning sharper as he reflected, “While my situation is undoubtedly influenced by Ninomiya-senpai, I also share the blame. My attitude wasn’t firm enough, which gave her an opening. I can’t let this continue!”

“Although I still don’t know what her true intentions are, as long as I don’t give her an opportunity, she won’t be able to harm me effectively. But… what should I do?”

Yagi Miyuki propped his chin up, lost in thought. The thought of Ninomiya-senpai’s fearless attitude made his teeth ache, especially when she recently used a broadcast station to propose to him, an almost self-destructive move. Clearly, she didn’t care about her reputation.

After thinking for a while, Yagi Miyuki realized he had no idea how to deal with Ninomiya Homura. He couldn’t even defend himself, let alone counterattack.

“Oh no, what am I going to do? If Ninomiya-senpai launches a few more ‘suicidal attacks,’ I won’t be able to come to school anymore.”

Yagi Miyuki looked distraught.

“Yagi-san.”

Just then, a petite girl with freckles on her cheeks walked over. She said, “Someone is looking for you outside.”

“Who the heck… Oh! I mean, I’m sorry, Kobayashi-san. Could you please tell me who it is?”

Yagi Miyuki, who was already in a terrible mood, almost exploded upon hearing that. Fortunately, he had decent control over his emotions and quickly adjusted his demeanor. He forced a smile as he looked at the girl in front of him, whom he already recognized.

Since Kobayashi-san sat in the first row near the classroom door, many people would ask her to relay messages when entering the classroom. Yesterday, even Ninomiya-senpai had used her to convey a message.

Kobayashi-san shrank back slightly, nervously gesturing toward the door. She cautiously said, “It’s… It’s Narase from Class E.”

“Narase-san?”

Yagi Miyuki first felt puzzled but then recalled the incident with that unscrupulous principal from yesterday, who had used him as a tool.

“Weren’t we supposed to meet at the library after class this afternoon?”

Yagi Miyuki furrowed his brows slightly and, after thanking Kobayashi-san, headed towards the classroom door.

“I’m sorry, Yagi-sensei, but I might not be able to make it to the library after class today.”

“Hmm?”

Yagi Miyuki looked at the girl with short sakura-pink hair, too lazy to correct her mistaken address and asked, “Why not?”

Narase Mero blinked her unusually bright purple eyes, feeling somewhat embarrassed as she touched the back of her head. She said, “I forgot that today is Friday, and we have to clean the swimming pool for the club right after school, so…”

“I see.”

Yagi Miyuki nodded and said, “Alright, it’s fine for today. Let’s plan for another time. Oh, next week, I’ll make time for it.”

After seeing Narase Mero off, Yagi Miyuki returned to his seat and suddenly smacked his forehead. “Oh no, I forgot to give her the test papers.”

Although he wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about this tutoring task, he thought about the consequences of going back on his word and decided to take it seriously. Last night, he had prepared a few test papers to assess Narase Mero’s approximate scores today, so he could plan her study schedule.

Yagi Miyuki shook his head. “Well, I’ll go back to the classroom later when class is over. I’ll let her have the weekend to work on the papers.”

“Yagi, are you the protagonist of a light novel or something?”

“Huh?”

Yagi Miyuki snapped back to reality, looking at Sazawa Heifu, who was sitting diagonally in front of him, with a perplexed expression.

“You’ve got the beautiful senpai, the childhood friend loli, and now you’re getting involved with a girl from the sports club…”

Sazawa Heifu raised his fingers, appearing horrified. “Your character setup is top-notch even in a light novel!”

“Do you think I want this, you bastard!”

Yagi Miyuki nearly roared in frustration.

However, he was relieved that, despite Narase Mero’s significant fame, she didn’t seem to attract as much attention as Ninomiya-senpai did. At least when she invited him out, it didn’t cause too much commotion.

The afternoon classes quickly passed, and after packing his bag, Yagi Miyuki took the test papers and headed to the classroom of the first-year E class, located on the same floor. To his surprise, the classroom was empty.

“They’re cleaning the pool, which means it’s the swimming club, right? Such a hassle.”

Yagi Miyuki looked exasperated and turned toward the direction of the school’s indoor swimming pool.

St. Cronia High School had three indoor swimming pools, two of which were for general use, and one served as the activity area for the swimming club.

No matter which swimming pool it was, there was quite a distance from the building Yagi Miyuki was in. If it weren’t for the fact that tomorrow was the weekend, he wouldn’t bother making this trip.

“Excuse me.”

Yagi Miyuki walked into this fairly large indoor swimming pool area, casually looking around. To his surprise, there wasn’t a single person in sight.

“Did I go to the wrong place?”

Yagi Miyuki retreated to the entrance in confusion, glanced at the sign, and muttered to himself, “Isn’t Pool No. 3 supposed to be the activity area for the swimming club? Could it be that I remembered it wrong?”

*Splash*

“Hmm?”

Hearing the crisp sound of someone entering the water, Yagi Miyuki furrowed his brows and re-entered the swimming area, walking toward the pool with shimmering water ripples. However, he quickly froze, and his facial features contorted uncontrollably.

“W-what on earth?”

Seeing that mysterious creature darting through the water in the pool, its pink tail visible, Yagi Miyuki almost sat down abruptly.

The aquatic creature in the water seemed to be in a rather good mood, swaying its body adorned with pink scales and elegantly swimming around in this mere 50-square-meter swimming pool.

“Is this… for real?”

Yagi Miyuki rubbed his eyes, attempting to convince himself it was an illusion. However, no matter what he did, that aquatic creature merrily swam right before his eyes.

“It feels so comfortable…”

Suddenly, the aquatic creature leaped out of the water, revealing the delicate face Yagi Miyuki had seen not long ago. She stretched lazily in mid-air, landed gracefully on the ground, and locked her bright purple eyes with Yagi Miyuki’s…

“Yaaaahh!”
