My Entire Cla.s.s Was Summoned to Another World except for Me Chapter 48: I’m bad at dealing with awkward situations .

I’m bad at dealing with awkward situations .

The next morning .

I was drowsily laying on my desk in school . I still needed to sleep . When I came back home and looked at the clock, not much time was left before the sun rose .

It was probably because the flow of time on earth and that world are different .

Because of that, the time quickly flew by, not giving me a chance to get enough sleep .

I was careless . I could have used 【Time-s.p.a.ce teleportation】and went a few hours back .

Paying the tormenting price of my stupid miss, Lina, next to me, was surrounded by the other girls and making a fuss .

“Eeh!! Lina-san you can cook?”

“Yes, I live alone, after all . ”

“You live alone!! That’s great!!”

I was pretty disturbed by the racket they were making this early in the morning . Please stop talking next to me . You’re annoying and I can’t sleep . Looks like Lina did attend school after what happened yesterday . Maybe because she stopped hesitating, it felt like she had opened up a bit more to her cla.s.smates .

“It feels like Lina-san had changed somehow . ”

“Yeah, it’s like you’re more cheerful and smiling more often now . ”

“Is it because you weren’t feeling alright?”

Some girls watching over her from a distance were even whispering about her change .

She was indeed smiling more often than before .

Well, she’s finally acting normally .

She couldn’t speak without care before because of her mission and whatnot .

It was only normal for her cla.s.smates to be surprised .

“Hey, don’t you think Lina-chan today looks cuter than before?”

“Yeah, she looks like an angel with that smile . ”

Looks like even the guys noticed her change . A few male students were charmed by her bright smile .

Also, the guy who said the last line, you were correct!

“I will go call her . ”

“Seriously!? Don’t do that! All that’s waiting for you is a honorable defeat!”

“No, I feel like I can do it now . ”

Leaving those words behind, the male student stood up and approached Lina .

Everyone there was right about Lina smiling more often, but that was not the only thing that changed about her .

“Y-Yo Lina-chan . You look especially lovely today . ”

“Shut up you vulgar pig . Don’t talk to me . ”

Like what just happened, Lina was abusive in treating every male student . She used to answer them normally while averting her eyes before, but now she had exhibited her real character .

The abused male student returned to his seat as he gradually sank into depression . Poor guy . When he sat back on his chair, the other students comforted him while yelling, “You’re a hero!!” .

A few seconds later, other guys started praising him, all at the same time . The victim bashfully hid his face . Really, poor guy .

Well, good luck next time man… I don’t know your name though .

But still, I wonder why Lina hates guys in our cla.s.s .

Is it maybe because she hates men in general?

But that doesn’t explain her being normal with me .

Thinking about the reason while laying on my desk, Kamais.h.i.+ whispered to me .

“Don’t you think that Lina-san had changed?”

“Yeah, she did indeed . ”

“But why does she act cold only towards our male cla.s.smates?”

“Who knows . Maybe she’s bad at dealing with guys like you, Kamais.h.i.+-san . ” I spoke while laying my face on the table .

Well, Kamais.h.i.+ is a whole different level when it came to that . I had actually never seen her talking with a guy before . I wondered when she would be able to talk to them normally .

“Y-You think? But Lina-san can still talk to them, so she’s not like me . ”

Kamais.h.i.+ spoke her mind, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence .

Just what are you competing for?

That’s not something you should feel proud about .

While I was feeling a bit sorry for Kamais.h.i.+-san, who was still making a confident face, she suddenly looked at me as if she remembered something .

“That’s right, Kamiya-kun . I’m thinking about inviting Lina for lunch with us today, what do you think?”

“Lunch? I don’t mind really . ”

Feeling glad that I approved, Kamais.h.i.+ continued .

“Okay then, I will try asking her laster . ”

“Alright”

Giving back a short reply, I closed my eyes, trying to sleep .

Lina would probably wake me up during the lesson . That’s why I needed to recover from my lack of sleep now .

With that last thought in mind, I let my consciousness fade away .

————————————————————————————————————-

At lunch break, Kamais.h.i.+, Lina and I went to sit on a bench in the shade of a tree to eat our lunch . I was able somehow compensate for my of sleep using the free time we got between lessons . But I wonder why I was feeling as if Lina wanted to rebuke for doing that as well .

Feeling uncomfortable because of the fear of her complaints, I decided to concentrate on my lunch .

We had the chance to go the roof instead, but it was a bit too hot to go there this time of year .

It was already summer and the sounds of the cicadas could be heard everywhere .

“Let’s sit here . ”

“Okay . ”

“Right . ”

Kamais.h.i.+ and I replied to Lina’s suggestion and the three of us sat on the bench .

Apparently, Kamais.h.i.+ had a hard time trying to invite Lina to eat lunch with us .

Once we got our free time, all the girls in the cla.s.s tried talking with her .

In such a difficult situation, it wasn’t easy for Kamais.h.i.+—who has no female friends—to meddle in .

She sneaked her way to Lina in the last moment before the cla.s.s ended, got her to accept and came back tired .

You did well, Kamais.h.i.+ .

“Why?! Why is it him?!” “He already has Kamais.h.i.+, doesn’t he?!” “Oh G.o.d, please punish that greedy guy!!”

The guys who saw me walking out of the cla.s.sroom with Lina started yelling and crying while hitting their desks, but I didn’t mind that .

“I’m going to get some drinks . ”

“Don’t forget my water today . ”

“Okay . ”

Kamais.h.i.+ responded to me with a slightly embarra.s.sed face and left us behind .

Now I was alone with Lina .

(This is kinda awkward…)

Not having anything to talk about, both of us remained quietly sitting . The sounds of cicadas controlled the place and I could feel the sweat running down my back and on my forehead .

Out of curiosity, I took a sidelong glance at Lina who was sitting with cool face with her eyes closed .

She didn’t seem in the mood to talk at all .

Left with a single option—to start a conversation myself—I opened my mouth .

“Hey . ”

“Hey . ”

Our voices overlapped .

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

Again, when both of us were confused, we looked at each other and compromised .

“You can speak first . ”

“No, it’s you who needs to speak!”

Repeating the same lines for a few time, both of us started laughing .

“Fufufu, I bet we looked pretty stupid now . ”

“Hahaha, that’s right . ”

Laughing together for a while, we both felt comfortable and started chattering .

“Well then, I shall speak first . ”

“Okay . ”

Giving Lina permission to speak, she remained silent for a few seconds then said .

“Are you going out with Kamais.h.i.+ . ”

“Ha? Me and Kamais.h.i.+?”

Lina nodded to my question . Wait, why are you bringing this topic now?

“Why are you asking that?”

“Well, I heard from our cla.s.smates that you too are getting along way too much and that Kamais.h.i.+ fought some love rival in the past and such . So I’m curious . ”

I agree that we were getting along very well, but I wasn’t sure about that love rival part . I don’t remember someone like that .

Rather, does the everyone in the cla.s.s see us that way?

I didn’t know that .

“We’re not dating, and of course, I have no idea about this love rival either . ”

“I-Is that so? Well, that’s fine too . ”

“Hm? What you mean by ‘fine too?’”

N-No, nothing at all . Never mind . ”

How rare for her to lose her composure . For some reason she seemed relieved after knowing that I wasn’t dating Kamais.h.i.+ .

Kamais.h.i.+ and I were only best friends .

There’s no way we’d be dating .

“Well then, it’s your turn . What did want to say?”

Finis.h.i.+ng what she had to say, Lina gave permission for me to speak, but I couldn’t come up with anything to say .

“No, I was just trying to change the awfully quiet mood of earlier . I didn’t have anything in mind to talk about . ”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah . ”

With my reply, both of us remained quiet again .

I just really hate that kind of situation .

“… You know, let me speak . ”

“Hm? Didn’t you have nothing to talk about?”

“I just thought of something now . ”

Ignoring Lina’s perplexion, I forcibly convinced her to listen to me . ”

“Anyway, I’ll start . ”

“O-Okay . ”

Acting as if I didn’t notice her bewilderment from my unusual att.i.tude, I continued to speak .

Bonus

Meanwhile in the cla.s.sroom .

“Why is it him again?!”

“Even though he already has Kamais.h.i.+!!”

“I heard he even got another girl somewhere . Then why is he going for a third one?”

“Why doesn’t he understand us?!”

“Do you think you can win against him when it comes to picking up girls?”

“… I don’t think so . ”

“Yeah, he’s got a good face, after all . ”

“Aah! All that a guy needs is a good face! Why?!”

“That’s life for you man…”

“Do you think Lina-san has something for him?”

“Maybe she likes him . ”

“That would be amazing! It’s the third girl!”

“This will make the romantic battle for him even more intense . ”

“I wonder who will be the winner . ”

“Who known, Lina could be stronger than what we think when it comes to that stuff . ”

“That means that once Kamais.h.i.+-san leaves them alone, she will attack…”

“Kyaaa!!!”

Both girls and boys were having an exciting conversation .
