Dullard Buddy-kun: Heading Reluctantly to School Again Today - Episode 68

“Hehe, today I was on lookout duty at the station after school on Hani-senpai’s orders, but that handsome guy never showed up, and I got so bored that I just sneaked away.

I even got hit on like crazy.

Especially that second-year guy, Sakaki or whatever—so annoying.

I may not look it, but I’m not easy at all…

There’s no way I’d let someone like that take the purity I’ve been protecting all this time.

Seriously, don’t underestimate me.”

“But honestly, I’m starting to doubt if that handsome guy even exists at that school.

I mean, even Hani-senpai hasn’t been able to find him. Could this be her first-ever failure?

Well, nothing can start until we actually find him.

Right now, I, Yujin-chan, have ended up at Mamiya-senpai’s part-time job, just killing time after randomly running into glasses-senpai at the station earlier.

Believe it or not, I have a decent amount of money. I might as well contribute to their sales as a thank-you for last time.

That super-dignified older gentleman is calling him over for me, so for now, I’ll just relax at this table in front of the staff entrance.

Huh, it’s been a while since I’ve been to Dokmanald. The menu is actually pretty different from the one back home.”

“But seriously, if no one at that school knows anything about this so-called handsome guy, then he just doesn’t exist, right?

I mean, with my communication skills, I’ve already gotten along with almost everyone in my class, both girls and boys, and yet not a single person knows him.

No, to be precise, they’ve heard of him, but no one has actually seen a guy like that at the school. And that girl he supposedly saved must exist somewhere, but she’s nowhere to be found either.

But, but—Hani-senpai has never been wrong about something like this before. And the only Japanese high school that was on a school trip to Korea at that time was ours.

He has to be here…

And it’s not like a guy that good-looking would go out of his way to disguise himself as some plain, boring dude…

…

But if, by some crazy chance—no, even if there’s only a one-in-a-billion chance—I find him first…

That means he’s mine, right?

I’d be the only one at that school who knows who he really is.

I’d absolutely have to keep it a secret from Hani-senpai and just make him mine.

Of course, I’d turn on all my charm and make him totally fall for me.

“Hey, are you alone? You’re super cute. Mind if we sit here?”

Ugh. Again…?

I heard that Japanese guys are supposed to be more on the shy side, but I guess that’s not always true.

“무엇입니까? 다른 자리가 비어 있다고 생각합니다.”

(What? I think there are other seats available.)

“Uh… what?”

“Oi, forget it. She doesn’t understand Japanese. Let’s go.”

No, I understand just fine.

If you’re going to try and hit on me, at least be able to speak three languages like Hani-sama and I do.

Well, at this point, the only one who’s qualified to flirt with me is still him.

Seriously, why is it always these overly flashy playboys who try to hit on me?

“Huh? Yujin-san?”

Haha, well, realistically speaking, there’s no way I’d find him before Hani-senpai does.

But since I’m here, I might as well ask Mamiya-senpai if he knows anything about the handsome guy. Not that I expect him to…

“Um, I’m Mamiya… What can I do for you?”

Lost in my thoughts, I suddenly realize someone has been calling out to me from behind.

Oh no. I totally spaced out, which isn’t like me at all.

And that voice… It’s Mamiya-senpai’s.

Hehe, I thought this before, but he actually has a surprisingly nice voice.

“Oh, sorry. Hehe, Senpai, I came to—”

Huh?”
