"Hey! What do you think you're doing!? This is in front of the boys-only room!"

"Be quiet. Are you trying to order me around!?"

When I opened the door to the boys-only room, I heard two voices arguing in front of the room.

One of them was Ena Ayami.

The class representative of Class 1.

And the girl confronting Ena-san.

As I thought...

"Do you realize you are being rude to Kaguya Iriyamasu, the nationally famous actress!? A mere class representative who was only chosen because I wasn't present!"

Oh.

I look at Iriyamasu Kaguya, the game heroine, thinking she really grew up exactly as she did in the original story.

A beautiful girl with long purple hair styled in an elaborate braided side-tail.

She is one of the game heroines.

Just as she said earlier, she is a famous actress and the type of character who believes everyone should treat her like a princess.

The girls who appear in this chastity-reversal gal game are generally very easy to win over, but among them she stands out because she acts cold and arrogant.

Because of that rarity she was actually fairly popular among fans.

Her enrollment into Honey Academy is delayed due to her acting work.

That part also follows the game's original scenario.

However, her introduction scene shouldn't be in front of the boys-only room like this.

She should normally appear in Class 1's classroom like a transfer student...

"Ah, nice to meet you for the first time, Haruto-sama! I am Iriyamasu— Hm? You have quite the background-character face for a man. I heard Haruto-sama was an incomparable handsome man."

"Sorry about having a background-character face."

Seriously, this princess...

In a world with a male-to-female ratio of 1:99 she still doesn't show any fear.

That's exactly why this heroine is one I have trouble dealing with.

"T-Tachibana-kun!? Iriyamasu-san, that was rude!"

"It's fine, Ena-san. I don't mind."

Ena-san turns pale, and I raise my hand to stop her as she tries to bow her head in apology.

I can't add another cause of stomach pain for her.

Though honestly, now that Princess Kaguya has arrived in the class, Ena-san's stress must already be beyond maximum speed.

"So where is my beloved Kannonzaki Haruto-sama? I finally managed to come to school during lunch break but he wasn't in the Class 1 classroom, so I rushed here."

Ah, I see.

Since Haruto wasn't in the classroom she came all the way to the boys-only room.

Normally around this time Class 1, whose unity had strengthened after finishing the class transfer battle with Class 2, would be happily having lunch gatherings all around the campus.

At this point in the game timeline Class 2 should still be in the cooldown period before they can challenge again, so Class 1 should be peaceful and Haruto should be with his classmates.

So there isn't much difference between the game and the current situation.

That's a relief.

"Haruto is behind me... Wait, why are you hiding? Haruto."

When I turn around, Haruto is stuck tightly to my back and refuses to move away.

Like a kindergarten kid clinging to their parent and refusing to leave.

Haruto is small, so he fits completely behind me.

"This is... a place only for boys... so go home..."

From behind my back Haruto speaks in a thin voice, but it's rare for him to express his own will like that.

"Eh... ah..."

Receiving those unexpected words of rejection, Princess Kaguya freezes in confusion.

Ah...

The timing of everything was bad too, but she had to start yelling immediately.

"Calm down, calm down, Funyuto-chan."

"My name is Iriyamasu! I-ri-ya-ma-su!"

"Ah, sorry. Habit."

Iriyamasu is a name that's almost impossible to read correctly the first time.

So fans of the game started calling her Funyuto-chan, and it stuck as a meme.

Just like in the original story, when you call her that she turns red and immediately corrects you.

Well, there are other reasons she gets called Funyuto-chan too.

"So you must be the one seducing Haruto-sama!"

"What do you mean seducing..."

"You're taking advantage of being another man to get close to Haruto-sama and making him shut himself inside the boys-only room! But I will rescue him!"

This girl is hopeless...

You can't reason with her.

"That's not what's happening."

"Yes it is! Taking advantage of being a man, you stay by Haruto-sama's side pretending to be his greatest confidant!"

Well, it's true I'm supposed to stay by the protagonist's side as his support character, but male friendship is a completely different thing.

Being close to a male friend and being romantically close to a girl may use the same word ‘close,’ but they mean entirely different things.

"No, that's not it. Right, Ena-san?"

"...I cannot answer when you ask me that..."

"Why won't you back me up there!?"

Why are you making that complicated face and staying silent, you overly easy-to-fluster class representative!?

You're supposed to be the smart one who notices things like this.

After that, teachers who heard the commotion gathered and somehow managed to settle the situation.

During the entire time, Haruto remained behind me, gripping the hem of my uniform jacket.
