The school prince (♀) is only close to me (♂) Remake

Chapter 41

Yuriko was now in the middle of her first year of junior high school, compared to when she was in elementary school, she had grown bigger in many areas, and even now she was still taller than most boys, not only that Yuriko had also started to become more naturally beautiful and handsome, which alongside her nice personality made many students fall for her

Because of that, everyone in the school began calling her the School Prince, girls adored her, and some even felt attracted to her. And the boys, now entering puberty, had also begun to feel attracted to her. But the one thing that didn't change from her elementary school days, but for slightly different reasons...

"Hey, do you want to go shopping together after school, Shimada-san?"

"Eh?! S-S-Sorry, b-but I a-a-already have o-o-other plans, N-N-Nanami-sama! S-S-So i-if you excuse me!" *Shimada-san escaped successfully*

"Ah... ... ..."

And that was the fact that everyone felt either too embarrassed or unworthy to walk beside Yuriko. And that was exactly what had just happened, which made Yuriko feel like crying a little, but she still kept a smiling expression, with a hint of sadness to her smile

"Yu-chan!"

"! Ayano-chan? What's wrong?"

But that feeling was quickly broken when Ayano, came running towards Yuriko with a desperate face

Inoue Ayano was one of Yuriko's childhood friends, now she had short straight dark green hair and a pair of glasses in front of her brown eyes, that gave her a pretty nerdy look, which when combined with her naturally cute face and relatively average sizes, did make her look quite attractive and smart image

"Please let me copy your notes!"

Which was quickly broken by the fact that she was quite dumb and her personality was the exact opposite of a nerdy character

"*Sigh* Again, Ayano-chan? You need to become more diligent. Here please copy it quickly so that we don't leave late"

"Yay! Thank you very much, Yu-chan!

Yuriko said that as she handed her notebook to Ayano for her to copy it, who began spinning happily from being saved by Yuriko, but then someone else swiped the notebook out of Ayano's hands

"Aaaaahh!"

"Haa... Yu-chan, I already told you to stop doing this to Ayano-chan"

It was Takahashi Aki, the other childhood friend of Yuriko, who had also grown big in various areas, but not as much as Yuriko. Her orange hair was now long with a long right side bang and a long side tail on the right as well, not only that her appearance also became that of a beauty, but more sided to a cool beauty which was only increased due to the fact that she was now into gyaru fashion

"Sorry..."

Having heard those words from Aki, Yuriko began making a dejected face as she looked down

"I'm not angry at you, Yu-chan"

After hearing that Yuriko lifted her head and she showed a beaming smile, which Aki could only answer with a sigh and a small smile as she returned to notebook back to Yuriko, much to Ayano's despair

"C'mon let's go shopping, there are some things I want to buy there. Then later we can eat at a family restaurant so that we can teach Ayano-chan the notes that she missed because she was sleeping"

"Ugh..."

"Sure!"

Ayano and Yuriko showed very different reactions to Aki's suggestion

Hours later

As the three childhood friends walked to down the shopping mall halls, they attracted the gaze of many passersby due to their beauty, but no one dared to talk to them because of that same reason

"So what do you need to buy, Aki-chan?"

"Some new nail paint and skin care products, and perhaps see if there are any new fashionable clothes"

"I see"

"So the same as usual"

Then as the three walked and talked they passed by a big group of 6 boys, that by itself wasn't what got their attention, but rather the fact that three of them had pretty handsome faces, but were also wearing very flashy clothes, the type that one could easily see that they had Chunnibiyou. That made the three look away from the group of boys

But as they continued walking, Yuriko's handkerchief ended up falling off from her pocket just as they were passing by the group of boys, without her noticing

"Hey!"

When they heard a male voice from behind, the three turned and saw a relatively short boy extending his hand with a handkerchief in it, the boy's natural appearance was rather unique which was only increased by the fact that he looked like a yankee from the clothes he was wearing

"You dropped this"

"Ah! Thank you, and sorry for the trouble"

"Don't bother"

With that done, the boy turned and watched up to the others, who appeared as if they were joking about the fact that he had just talked to a girl, which made the boy blush as he made an even more annoyed face, but at the same time it didn't look like that the boy was angry at the others

"..."

Yuriko looked at the boy for a few seconds, as she felt a bit jealous of him since he appeared to have more friends, compared to her, who only had Aki and Ayano as friends

"Yu-chan! If you keep standing there, we'll leave you behind"

"! I'm coming!"

With Aki's call, Yuriko snapped out of her daze and quickly hurried to catch up to Aki and Ayano. After buying everything that Aki wanted, and seeing some clothes, the three went to have dinner at a family restaurant, while Yuriko and Aki both taught Ayano everything that she had missed

"..." *Brain.exe stopped working*

"Oi" *Snapping fingers* "... Haa... Ayano-chan went kaput"

"Well, at least we managed to teach her about half of everything that she had lost"

"Yes, but at this rate, we're going to stay here forever... ... ... Haa... Ayano-chan, here. You can copy the rest of the notes from my notebook"

"Really!"

"Heee... So you didn't go kaput, after all"

"Ow ow ow ow! Dis hurbs!"

Aki began pinching Ayano's cheeks when she saw that Ayano wasn't completely out of action, but after a few seconds, she stopped and let Ayano copy her notes

"Fufu"

"? What is so funny for you to laugh, Yu-chan?"

"Nothing, I just find it amusing seeing you two getting along so well as friends"

"... Hmpf, and who are you to say that, when you're also our beloved friend as well?"

"I guess you may be right"

Aki then showed a small smile after saying that to Yuriko, to which she responded with a small smile as well, that then caused both of them to chuckle

"And finished!"

"That was quick"

"Thanks for the compliment"

"It wasn't a compliment though. Shall we start deciding what we'll want to order?"

" "Sure!" "

The three had an enjoyable meal together
