“That might be true, but that has nothing to do with me”
“It does. Just think about it. You have never gone out with anyone. That means that all the girls that like you, backed away and gave up”
Having said that much, the tone of Kenji's voice went down a notch. He then whispered so only Koutarou could hear.
“... They all noticed what was hiding behind your smile. That's why they gave up. You get it right? Just by doing nothing, you made those girls unhappy...”
“... Mackenzie...”
While Kenji's voice had been quiet, Koutarou could tell that he was serious. That was because when he said it, he had an earnest look in his eyes.
“Those girls wouldn't have had such an unhappy love life if you had a girlfriend to begin with. So what about it? Is there really no girl you're interested in?”
If there was someone Koutarou was interested in, not showing it would make everyone unhappy. That's how Kenji thought of it.
“... Hmm...”
Normally he would just ignore this kind of topic, but Koutarou understood that Kenji was worried for him and decided to think about it a little.
“For example... what about my Kotori? You know her too. She's a little obsessed with me, her brother, but she's cute in a way”
“Kin-chan, huh...”
Matsudaira Kotori, her nickname was Mackinley. She was Kenji's precious little sister. Kotori was a spoiled girl and would always follow Koutarou and Kenji around. When left alone, she would cry out of loneliness. The image of Kotori desperately chasing after them had left a strong impression in Koutarou's memories.
Because of that personality of hers, Kenji had high requirements for anyone that would want to become her boyfriend. And Koutarou was one of the few that fulfilled those requirements. At the same time, he believed that he could entrust Kotori to Koutarou. To Kenji, having Kotori and Koutarou become lovers would solve two of his worries at once.
“I think she's a good girl, but I haven't seen her for a while now, so it doesn't quite feel right”
“You last met her at new year, right?”
“I think so”
To Kenji, it felt like just half a year, but to Koutarou, it was a little different. The time he had spent in the past world was added onto that half year. So strictly speaking, he hadn't met her for over a year. Koutarou did think that she was a good girl, but his last memory of her was over a year old, so he couldn't really say. On top of that, Kotori's own feelings needed to be taken into consideration.
“In that case, it can't be helped. Then we'll put Kotori to the side. How about them?”
“Them?”
“Are you getting senile? I mean the girls over there”
“Ahh...”
Koutarou looked in the direction Kenji was pointing. There, the girls of room 106 were gathered. It was currently lunch break and they were chatting after having eaten their lunch. The only exception was Yurika, who was sitting the closest of the girls to Koutarou. She had eaten her fill, gotten sleepy and was now in the middle of taking a nap.
“You've been getting along well with them lately. Is it because of the play?”
“Ah, yeah. Well, something like that”
As Koutarou casually looked at the girls, Sanae noticed his glance and turned around. She then cheerfully waved her hand towards him. This caused the other girls to realize that Koutarou was looking their way, and they smiled. After that, the girls returned to their conversation.
“Considering they're like that, I think you have a chance with all of them”
“I wonder. They're just all really nice”
“You just can't look at it objectively. Try grading them. I'm sure the girl with the highest points will feel right as you call it”
“How am I supposed to grade them?”
“Grade their personality or looks. And then add or remove points based on eventful memories. Aim for something like 50 points for being friends, 75 being someone you'd like as a girlfriend and 100 as someone you'd like to marry”
