Dullard Buddy-kun: Heading Reluctantly to School Again Today - Episode 42

I wonder what it is.

The night of the first day of the school trip.

In my room, alone, just a few hours ago, I was already getting ready for bed to prepare for tomorrow…

Yeah. Normally, I would definitely be asleep in bed by now.

“Hmm, which one is Baba, right or left?”

Why, why am I now playing cards, so-called Old Maid, not in bed, but on top of the bed?

And to top it all off, it was the girl from the neighboring class, Arisa Shibuya…

First of all, the very fact that someone is coming to my room, which is usually just for me, is strange enough, but on top of that, the completely unexpected situation of a girl coming to a guy’s room is happening.

I can’t understand it at all. Seriously, it’s beyond confusion.

Moreover, why are you on my bed again…?

Absolutely, even if we’re going to play cards, it would definitely be easier to do it on the table. She says it’s a hassle to move, so I’ve been doing it here, but it would definitely be more stable and easier on the table.

Moreover, as if to stare intently into my eyes again…

“Hmm, just now, Mamiya’s eyes shifted to the right. The card in his right hand looks suspicious.”

Honestly, if someone stares at me like that from this distance, I get nervous and can’t help but feel embarrassed. Especially if the person is a girl like her.

I’ve been going through this situation over and over again, but this feeling of being stared at by her is something I don’t think I’ll ever get used to.

“Hehe, I did it. I win.”

And that sudden smile, too, seems like I could never get used to it. Or rather, I could never get used to it in my entire life.

Even so. When I checked the time, it was surprisingly 11:30.

Yeah. Isn’t it really getting bad soon? In various ways.

Regarding Tanaka-kun, who was originally supposed to be my roommate in this room, he went to a friend’s place and has unexpectedly gone silent. I can’t get in touch with him at all.

I don’t understand the meaning.

After making so many calls and sending messages, and getting no response at all, did they get caught up in a murder case and die or something?

Why is it that you only don’t answer the phone at such an important time, Tanaka-kun? It’s just too strange.

Honestly, it’s unfortunate that she got into a fight with the person in the same room, but seriously, it’s about time she moves out of this room.

However, if I misjudge the timing even slightly, this situation will definitely be exposed to those around me and the teachers, and I will be socially dead. And that absolutely must be prevented at all costs.

What should I do? What is the right thing to do?

“I’m sleepy… it’s about time.”

As I was thinking about such things, I couldn’t tell how many times we had played Old Maid already, but after finishing the last round, she said that and just flopped down on the bed…

As expected, you wouldn’t just say you’re going to sleep here like this. No way, right…?

“Uh, Shibuya-san. It’s about time…”

Ignoring…？ Or rather, what is this? Wh-what does it mean?

Lying in bed, I feel like she’s been silently staring at me the whole time….
