The Story of a Tsundere Scandinavian Female Classmate Going Into Dere Mode as Soon as She’s Announce

Classmate Absolutely Wants To Win against Toru’s Childhood Friend

TL/ED: Bogdi

The day after I ran into Aino at the bookstore.

The first hour of English class in the morning was over, and it was time for a short ten-minute recess.

Toru let out a small yawn.

(……sleepy)

Last night, I stayed up late watching anime that I had taped and reading some foreign mystery novels that I had on my …… to-do list.

I fell asleep at 3:00 am, so I am completely sleep deprived.

(TLN: Pfff.. only 3 am, rookie numbers)

The next period was World History.

This school is not only a preparatory school, but also has a laissez-faire school culture. In other words, if you are in a class with a teacher, who is not strict, you can doze off in class and not be punished for it.

Even if you doze off in World History, you probably won’t be told anything. However, it was the only class Toru was looking forward to. Toru had always liked history, but his world history teacher was overwhelmingly interesting in his banter aswell.

So, sleeping was not an option.

However, he felt very sleepy during the break . Normally, I would have spent the rest of the day reading a book, but I felt like I was going to fall asleep.

At that moment, I was hit on the back from behind.

“…… Ouch.”

When Toru muttered, the other party went around and in front of Toru.

The female student narrowed her cat-like eyes and smiled.

“‘Good morning, Renjo!”

“I see you’re doing well, Sakurai-san.”

Toru shrugged.

The girl in front of him asked, “Yeah?” The girl nodded her head and her beautiful semi-long brown hair swayed softly.

Her name is Sakurai Asuka. She was a classmate of Toru’s, and they had known each other since middle school. Nothing more, nothing less.

Asuka was a slender and beautiful girl with a cheerful personality and a popular personality.　

She wears her school uniform in a stylish way.

Despite her gal-like appearance, her grades are extremely good, always in the first half of the grade.

She is the type of person who is almost impeccable. Normally, Toru tries not to get too close to this type of person.

It was his childhood friend that brought him to talk with Asuka from time to time.

Toru smiled.

“By the way, do you think you can beat Konoe-san in the upcoming exam?

“Of course!”

Asuka waved her hands in the air and made a gutsy pose.

Konoe-san is Toru’s childhood friend, Chika Konoe. Toru however no longer calls Chika by her first name.

That being said, Asuka is looking at Chika as an enemy.

She is a very talented girl, but she has always been under Chika’s thumb.

When she was in the middle school, Chika was often ranked first and Asuka second in her grade. In the election for student council president, Asuka lost the election in a one-on-one match.

She also lost in the finals of the school year tennis tournament.

She was very good, but she was just one step behind Chika.

That girl was Asuka Sakurai.

So, Asuka had taken the liberty of recognizing Chika as her rival, and seemed determined to win. This is where Toru comes in. When Asuka found out that Toru was a childhood friend of Chika’s, she approached him in order to win.

That was in her third year of middle school.

Unfortunately, by that time, Toru and Chika had grown apart.

(So, I guess I was useless to her.)

However, I think it’s strange that we have continued our relationship since then.

Although we are neither more nor less than just classmates who talk from time to time, I am sometimes envied by the other boys.

Asuka is a beautiful girl, on par with Chika. And unlike Chika, she has a friendly and approachable personality, which makes her quite popular.

She doesn’t seem to be interested in romance, and as far as Toru knows, Asuka is just a fun girl who is bent on “defeating Konoe Chika!”.

And Toru did not dislike such Asuka.

Toru had always wanted to become a person who was worthy of standing next to Chika. And he had failed long ago.

But Asuka never gives up and continues to challenge. No matter how many times she loses.

This was something that Toru envied.

Asuka put her face close to Toru’s ear as if she was whispering to him.

It has a sweet scent of a girl, so Toru was instantly thrilled.

{TLN: NTR!}

(The other boys will be jealous again. ……)

Toru laughed in his heart.

I’m sure Asuka doesn’t know what’s going through my mind.

“Hey, what is Chika’s weakness? There must be one, which I can use to defeat her in one shot.”

“for example?”

“For example, she’s so bad with snakes that she faints at the mere sight of one?”

“I’ve never heard of anything like that.”

Chika has no such obvious weaknesses.

　Toru has known Chika since she was a child, and knew that Chika was like a perfect superhuman.

…… Even for Chika, there were things that could not be done, but that is not the same as a weakness.

And even if Chika did have a weakness, it would be meaningless.

“Sakurai-san wouldn’t be satisfied, if she won by exploiting Konoe-san’s weakness, now would she?”

Asuka would not approve of such a cowardly way of winning. It would be meaningful, only if she won against Chika with her own strength.

I’m sure that’s what she’s thinking.

Even though they only had a shallow relationship, Toru knew about Asuka’s personality.

Asuka made a pleased face,then blushed a little and smiled happily.

“You’re right. You know exactly what I mean. I like that about you.”

“I wish you wouldn’t tease me.”

“I’m not teasing, though.”

Asuka chuckled as she said that.
