Dullard Buddy-kun: Heading Reluctantly to School Again Today - Episode 29

This is bad.

Really, Mamiya-kun, who are you?

By chance, I decided to visit Dogmanald for the first time to kill some time on my day off, and it just so happened that Mamiya-kun was on shift.

However, it was clear that the person who was there was not the usual Mamiya-kun I knew.

I was really surprised. I couldn’t help but do a double take, no, actually a quadruple take.

After all, the person who was there was a handsome store clerk who looked like a national treasure from any angle.

No exaggeration, there was a real handsome guy.

But on the name tag of that handsome guy at the register, the two characters 【間宮】 were clearly visible.

So, I, Ichiro Tanaka, who remarkably lacks human characteristics in both good and bad ways, put on a mask, thick black-framed glasses, and a cap pulled down low. Under this perfect disguise, I quietly slipped into the back of the line at the register where he was.

Just one thing first. I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but this place… isn’t the ratio of girls a bit too high? It’s clear that this isn’t the usual clientele of my nearest McDonald’s.

It’s definitely because of your influence that it’s turned out this way, right, Mamiya-kun?

What is this? That refreshingly handsome smile with unknown destructive power, so unimaginable coming from the usual you at school.

Without even realizing it, I, a man, was taken aback.

This is definitely at a level where your smile could earn money.

No, that’s way beyond my expectations, Mamiya-kun.

When Yamamoto Saya and Shibuya Arisa unexpectedly showed interest in you, I definitely thought something was up.

Actually, I was also participating in that event as a minor influencer, and although it was purely by chance, I witnessed your unbelievable bravery.

But back then, he was wearing a helmet. Who could have imagined that such an incredibly handsome guy was hiding under that helmet? Absolutely impossible.

For now, even while thinking about such things, since the toy I wanted came with it, I ordered a Happy Set.

I was able to claim a table at the edge of the store, and from there, I was absentmindedly observing him, Mamiya-kun.

Then, unexpectedly, Arisa Shibuya came in as a customer.

And then, after that, various things happened.

I’m at the library right now.

Hey, hey, what the heck is that?

First of all, you went to the library alone with Arisa Shibuya on your day off?

Furthermore.

I also had the opportunity to talk to Arisa Shibuya for the first time the other day, and she was truly a solitary and beautiful lone wolf.

What on earth is that?

The woman who is now sitting next to Mamiya-kun is like a Persian cat that only gets attached to its owner.

Wow, it’s so amazing that I can’t find the words. Mamiya-kun.

I don’t mean to be rude, but you know, you’re kind of a loner, right?

It’s always that loner who pretends to sleep at his desk, right?

I, of all people, have been completely deceived.

You, you’re way more outgoing than Sakaki-kun, who stands out the most in class. No, you’re overwhelmingly more outgoing.

But, I wonder what it is.

Mamiya-kun really doesn’t have that annoying, show-offy vibe that guys like Sakaki-kun do, and it’s also a mystery why he doesn’t come to school in his part-time job uniform.

Even now, in the library, Mamiya-kun is in his usual school style with glasses.

It’s too mysterious.

And as soon as he stood up and went to the restroom alone, I, in disguise, followed him like the wind.

Right next to me is Mamiya-kun, who is taking care of something.

Of course, I’m also taking care of my business right next to you… but seriously, I can’t believe my eyes, Mamiya-kun.

What is that? That thing of yours that is way too big.

Deliberately, I won’t go into details, but if mine is a “Tako-san Wiener,” then yours is… a “genuine German Jumbo Frankfurt Sausage.”

Yeah. You’re completely out of the ordinary, Mamiya-kun.

I’ve never seen something that big, seriously…

Haha, it seems my instincts about you were right.

I had vaguely known that you were smart for a while, but once I opened the lid, it turned out to be extraordinary.

Truly, everything about them is extraordinary.

Moreover, from what I see, I still can’t see the bottom of you. You definitely have various other things hidden as well.

Who exactly are you, Mamiya-kun?

It’s too funny.

For now, I’m really looking forward to the school trip where we can go together.

I’m really looking forward to it, Mamiya-kun.
