Zerius, who Fii knew as well, was apparently the absolute king of the manliness rankings.
But well, even Fii could assent. That was simply how manly the boy named Zerius was.
He would definitely become a hindrance on Fii’s path to the top.
Looking at the rest of the names, she found that Gorms was pretty high up at 5th place, as was Gheith who was at 6th. Slad was decent as well, at 12th place.
And Fii suddenly spotted Doug’s ranking too.
“Doug…”
The moment she called out this name, a boy began trembling behind her.
“Why did you join in without telling me?”
On the Round Three ranking sheet, Doug’s name was clearly there. It was around 22nd place.
The reason people voted for him were things like
“He’s got some dumb parts to him, but he’s manly.”
“When he gets bossed around by Heath, he reminds me of my dad.”
“He’s strong.”
Even though he joined the Northern Dormitory after Fii did, he had the gall to participate before her.
And not only that, he kept it a secret from her as well.
The dark-skinned boy was glared at by the small one―――who was a girl inside―――and blurted out in panic,
“N-, No, I mean… I thought it wouldn’t have much to do you with… I mean you’re…”
She stopped him from blurting out her secret with a glare.
Naturally, Doug saw Fii as a girl. How could he have ever imagined that she would want to participate.
But Fii didn’t understand his thoughts at all.
She glared viciously at Doug.
“I’ll punish you later.”
A decisive declaration.
“Yes…”
Doug simply dropped his shoulders and hung his head.
