Dullard Buddy-kun: Heading Reluctantly to School Again Today - Episode 32

I, Ichiro Tanaka, am currently waiting in front of my home computer.

It’s currently just before 8 PM.

Today is the day of her SNS live stream for the first time in a while.

Just 30 seconds left…

Yeah. Today is the day of the long-awaited live stream by Yamamoto Saya, the idol from my class.

Maybe it was because of that incident, but there hadn’t been any updates for the past few days, so I had been looking forward to today’s stream quite a bit since the announcement date.

Today’s stream is about her answering love advice questions from viewers.

Perhaps because it’s been a while, despite her being an ordinary person, the number of people waiting is already incredible.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1…

And finally, the long-awaited stream is about to begin.

What immediately caught my eye was Yamamoto-san in her cute pink pajamas. They were slightly oversized and fluffy, and she was just incredibly cute.

“Good evening, everyone! It’s been a little while since the last stream, but thanks for coming today too!”

And then, saying that, she waves at the viewers with a smile.

Maybe it’s because I’m in pajamas and just out of the bath, but her wet hair and glistening expression somehow seem oddly alluring.

It’s the best.

The scene where each viewer sends comments to her.

“Hmm? What was I doing until just now? Hehe, I was doing math homework the whole time. It was difficult, but I managed to finish it by this time, so I have plenty of time today!”

Yes, yes. That homework, right?

Indeed, that was difficult and took a lot of time because there was so much of it.

I understand. After all, unlike the other viewers, I’m in the same class as her.

Even so.

Yamamoto-san, have you gotten a bit cuter than before?

No, her face hasn’t changed at all and she’s still incredibly cute, but somehow her expressions and gestures have lost that slightly forced quality, if you know what I mean.

I used to really like her overly deliberate charm, but now, the way she laughs and talks naturally seems more attractive to me.

In fact, there are a few comments from viewers in the video asking if the atmosphere has changed a bit.

“Hmm? A bath? I just took one. So after the stream ends, all that’s left is to sleep! That means I’ll be hanging out with you all thoroughly today!”

Her voice is also incredibly cute.

Today, I really want my comment to be read too.

At this point, maybe I should use Mamiya-kun’s name… no, that’s definitely not okay. Calm down, me.

Huh?

As I was thinking about such things, suddenly the girl in the video opened her eyes wide, then vigorously picked up her own smartphone that was probably nearby and started fiddling with it… ?

During the stream, your phone…?

Just now, the way your eyes widened in surprise…

Could it be that a major accident has occurred?

I’m a bit worried…

No, that’s definitely not it…

Because, in my eyes right now, she is tapping away on her phone with an incredibly happy smile.

The appearance of Saya Yamamoto.

I wonder what it is.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, they pulled out a math reference book that I’ve seen way too many times…

Um, Yamamoto-san. Are you perhaps forgetting that we’re currently live streaming?

Moreover, what is that bouncy, cheerful smile…?

No, that’s super cute. Too cute, really. What kind of expression is that…

Even though we’re in the same school and the same class, I’ve never seen her smile like this before.

Over 100 points, 120 points.

In fact, in this situation that normally shouldn’t be praised, the comment section is flooded with compliments like “super cute.”

Could it be that this is Yamamoto-san’s true…

Really, it’s super cute.

No joke, I could watch this scene for an hour straight…

However, as I was thinking about such things, she seemed to have regained her composure and started to fluster in this current situation.

What on earth is making her look like that?

I wonder if other viewers are quite concerned too, as the comment section is already overflowing with comments like “Did something happen?”

“Uh…”

I’m really curious. What on earth is making Yamamoto-san act like that?

In the video, as she starts to speak again, I focus my ears and eyes intently on her.

Her flustered expression right now is a bit uncharacteristic for her, and it’s cute. No, it’s too cute.

“I’m really sorry!!! Something urgent came up!!! I will definitely make it up to you later!!!”

Huh?

Saying that, the live stream video suddenly ended.

And then, the part of the computer where Yamamoto-san was just a moment ago turned black…

Right now, it’s just quietly reflecting my face, Ichiro Tanaka…

No, what on earth is going on?

The current time is 8:07…

I was looking forward to it so much, but it ended in less than 10 minutes…

Earlier, you definitely said, “I’ll stick with everyone to the end!” but now the stream has ended at record speed…

Come on, this is just…

Wait a minute…

I might have figured it out.

Could it be… this…?
