Dullard Buddy-kun: Heading Reluctantly to School Again Today - Episode 45

Even so, the weather has been great since this morning.

Clear skies without a single cloud. It’s truly perfect weather for a school trip, isn’t it?

Even so, Seoul. Just walking for a few minutes, I realized there are quite a few cute girls around. Not bad. Hitting on girls might be a good idea.

“Anyway, as planned. First, shall we head to Rotten World?”

“Nice. By the way, Sakaki. Aren’t you super hyped up?”

“Hahaha, do you get it?”

“Did something happen?”

Geez, these guys saw the whole thing, so why don’t they get it?

Are you an idiot?

“Hey, there was, right? The scene where Saya confessed in the morning.”

Yeah. I never thought that Toh would make a move first, but it turned out to be an unfounded worry.

Of course. That guy can’t bring Saya down.

“Have you already forgotten? When Saya turned down Tohru’s confession, saying she couldn’t because she was into someone else.”

That’s right. At least as long as I’m here, you had no chance of winning. It’s unfortunate, but that’s the reality.

“Haha, that, to be honest, is about me, right? No kidding.”

Yeah. The person Saya was really in love with back then

I’m probably confirmed regarding Daiki Sakaki.

I mean, there isn’t really any other guy you could actually consider besides me.

“Yeah, to be honest, isn’t it me?”

“Hey, I have potential too, you know!”

Damn, these guys really crack me up. Moriya and Takasago still have such high gag skills.

Well, we’ll know the results by tonight.

If Tō is in the morning, then I’ll confess to Saya in a grand manner during dinner at night, just like that guy. The atmosphere is definitely better at night.

In a way, thanks to that person, I was able to make up my mind.

Well, it’s obvious that the result will definitely be okay. Sorry, Toru, but I’ll make you understand the difference in our standings as men.

Damn, I can’t stop laughing.

I know.

The reason why Saya has been less sociable lately.

Yeah. That guy is completely aware of me. No doubt about it.

Just the other day, I, Sakaki-sama, was selected as the Kanto representative for the National High School Boys’ Mister Contest, and now I’m clearly more aware of myself than before.

Honestly, I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve been able to do anything since I was a kid.

Whether it’s sports or studying, they immediately become top-class at anything they do.

Moreover, with this appearance. Thanks to it, I’ve always been the center of attention in class, no, wherever I am.

Truly popular people are exhausted beyond measure.

Truly, the man loved by God can only be me.

In fact, today too, there are so many women who want to join our group, so many.

I only have one body, you know. Working in shifts is tough too.

Saya, if you keep dawdling, I might end up with another woman by tonight.

Tch

Even so, it’s really infuriating. I actually wanted to hang out with Saya now, but that guy Mamiya… Despite being such a loner, he’s been sticking to Saya lately.

Anyway, this time too, he’s just being kind because he’s a nice guy, giving pity to you, the loner, and to Tanaka, the introvert.

Know your place, you weakling.

If Sayaka and I are still like that even after we start dating, I’ll seriously give him a good beating.

“Hey, isn’t that coming this way?”

While I was thinking about such things, could they be the locals? A group that looks like a TV crew is approaching us. Given their age, could they be YouTubers from around here or something?

A few guys who look somewhat rough, not as much as me but still good-looking with red hair, are being filmed. And a few nerdy-looking ones too.

What? What? Are those women who found them making a fuss?

I don’t know anything about it, but that red-haired person, could they be a popular influencer around here or something?

Well, maybe, but I might have seen his face somewhere on Instagram or something.

Then, as expected, they must have business with us; the group is already in front of us.

And then, the studious-looking guy from the other side starts talking to me. Next to him is a red-haired guy with an obviously forced, overly cheerful smile.

“Excuse me. May I have a moment of your time?”

What the heck? This nerd can speak Japanese, although his pronunciation is a bit off.

“Ah, no problem, but…”

What on earth do you want?

“His name is Park Jungkook, and he’s quite a popular influencer here in Korea. We would really like to have Mr. Sakaki, who is popular in the Japanese high school handsome contest, appear in a video with him.”

Hey, seriously?

Am I already famous over here too?

Damn, man. Is there a chance I could become a star over here too?

By the way, hasn’t this already happened?

“Ah, sure. But what kind of video are you planning to make?”

Well, I can’t let them underestimate me. So, I respond with a resolute attitude.

“Just to let you know, we are planning a video where we have a Japan-Korea handsome guy showdown with games that use physical skills and games that use brain skills. Of course, we will guarantee appropriate compensation.”

Wow, that sounds interesting. A Japan-Korea handsome guy showdown, huh?

This Jungkook?This guy, he’s wearing a uniform too, so he’s probably a high school student here as well.He seems to be somewhat popular, so he might be a good stepping stone to boost my recognition both in Japan and here, right? And they give you money too, right? That’s awesome.

But, Jungkook, you picked the wrong opponent to challenge.

If you face me, Daiki Sakaki, the one loved by this god, it’s guaranteed that you’ll be embarrassed.

“Okay. I’ll go along with it.”

Really, challenging me, who is guaranteed to become the number one high school student in Japan, out of the blue—you’re one fearless guy. Seriously, are you even worthy of someone like me?

For now, your face and style are somewhat balanced with mine, so I’ll accept the challenge.

Thank you. Mr. Sakaki

Well, as a representative high school student of Japan, I’ll be the one to judge you. Jungkook.

Haha, I’m looking forward to seeing that creepy forced smile twist even more.
