We arrived at the vending machines near the school store on the first floor.
There are several benches close by, all filled with different groups. The rowdy chatting of boys and girls was audible.

「Misaki-chan, what are you drinking～?」

With a wallet in hand, I was asked with a smile.
He sounds used to this. I’m going to be called by -chan, it seems.

A normal girl probably wouldn’t dislike being treated like this by the relatively handsome upcoming soccer club head. Might even feel a bit excited about it.
But unfortunately, I’m not a normal girl.

「*Ha?* No fanta at all?」
「… Misaki-chan?」

While I was glaring at the vending machines, some guy wearing glasses drew near.
Holding his hand by his mouth, he quietly spoke to me.

「… Not trying to scare you, but it’d be best for you to stay away from Takagi.」

Takagi is the name of the senior next to me.
Incidentally, the other guy from the baseball club was caught by a girl on the way, so he was left behind.

「He’s made a move on various girls alrea-…」
「Oi, what are you gossiping about there?」

Takagi lightly made a kicking gesture.

「Oh-ho, up to no good again, huh? Takagi～」

A group of boys on a nearby bench gathered near us. They surrounded us in an instant.

There’s even a guy built like a big bear. Had I been a normal girl, I might have been trembling with fear.

「Targeting some naive and innocent freshman…」

Upon seeing me, the big guy froze with his mouth left half-open.
The rowdy boys also went quiet, resulting in a mysterious silence. In exchange, I feel many gazes crawling all over my body.

*Look at me weird, and I’ll kick you,* I was about to glare back, but I stopped. It’s not an adequate attitude for a Beauty such as I.

I quickly straightened the front of my skirt, hiding my breasts between my right arm.
I looked downwards to avoid their gaze.

「Oi, stop it, guys! Misaki-chan’s all scared now!」

Takagi-paisen¹ stood in front of me as though to protect me.
*Omg, he’s so cool, I’m in love*… Wasn’t my reaction. Could you please stop calling me Misaki-chan?

「Are you alright?」

He turned to me and attempted to put his hand on my shoulder.
I quickly turned to avoid it. I can’t have you underestimating my dynamic vision. It would’ve been dangerous if he had the power to make the people he touched fall in love with him.

「See, she’s scared! All because of you fools…」

No, you’re the one scaring me.
Takagi had a look of condemnation, but the boys simply pushed him aside and gathered before me.

「Are you in a club?」
「N-no?」

As they came on enthusiastically, I stepped back while being taken aback.
　
「Nice, then join the Track Club!」
「No no, it’s Tennis Club!」
「About Cheer Club!」　
「Nothing beats Nude Design Club!」

S̲h̲i̲t̲, I’m surrounded.

「I bought Calpis²; it’s all yours! Drink it!」
「I’ll give you my banana milk, too!」

They started forcing drinks into my arms.
They’re giving me tributes. I’m suddenly the party princess. Rather, this is just normally sexual harassment, isn’t it?

The truth is, I’m rarely treated like this. Back during middle school, the boys were all like, 「You’re so cocky,」 「What’s your problem?」
Because I kept saying, ‘*I’m a boy,*’ at first, others would call me boy-girl and didn’t treat me like a girl.

Now, my hair is much longer, my body’s more mature, and I’ve been getting more feminine, too.
Still, being suddenly treated like a woman is bothersome, perplexing, and just plain gross.
After all, these guys probably want me to gobble their bananas, right? Like, uhh～…

「Stop it, you guys～! Stop with all the ruckus!」

A ‘*stop-it-you-guys*’ girl³ suddenly came by.
It’s the group of girls who were chatting at the farther bench. The crowding boys suddenly spread out like baby spiders. I still can’t quite get the power balance here.

「Ah, you’re yesterday’s!」

One of the girls suddenly pointed at me.
It was a slim tall girl with short-cut hair. A tanned oneesama with handsome eyes. I remember her.
She found me out and scolded me when I swam in my underwear. I thought she was going to strip me down, so I ran away. It was scary.

「Swim club, you’re joining, right?」

She closed the distance in an instant. With her hand on my shoulder, and her face close to my ear.
For some reason, I’m being pressured into joining.

「You’re joining, right?」
「N-no, hahaha…」

With my expression stiff from the forced smile, I’m surrounded being by the girl group this time. They’re likely all older than me. A oneesama gang.

「Eh, she’s so c～u～te～ Who’s she?」
「C’mon, she’s the cutie I spoke of yesterday.」

*Cutie*, are you an old man? Only Lupin⁴ calls girls by that.

「First year, right? What section? And your name?」
「Your legs are so long. How tall are you?」
「Do you have a boyfriend?」

I’m receiving a concentrated bombardment.
This time, even my back is taken; I have no escape.

「See, look here; her hips are totally built different, lol.」
「Heard you swam in your underwear? Pretty impressive. How about you swim with me naked next time? It feels liberating, you know?」
「Isn’t this skirt pretty long～? I prefer it a bit shorter, though～」

Isn’t this group scarier than the boys?
Taking advantage of me being of the same sex, they’re touching me without restraint.

My head is being caressed, fingers run through my hair, my shoulders are being massaged, my upper arm is being squished.
My butt is being groped, my skirt is being raised.

「W-wait!」

I turn around and smack the groping hands away.
While the offenders backed down with their hands raised, they were just giggling; no sign of repentance at all.

「All red in the face, that’s cute. Her skin is so pale, so it’s easy to see.」
「*Eh,* I love this kid! I wanna bring her home～」
「Then I want a taste of this!」

One of them quickly got behind me, grabbed me by the waist, and started banging her hips against mine.

「*Ah, oh,* you feel so good, Misaki-chan!」
「*Gyahahaha!* This b̲i̲t̲c̲h̲ is seriously crazy!」

There’s a weirdo among them!
No, every one of them is probably a weirdo!

「Senpai, help～!」

I begged Takagi-paisen for help.
Compared to these people, he feels much more decent.

「Takagi, you f̲u̲c̲k̲e̲r̲! Planning on slipping into another girl again?!」
「Get out of here! You’re not getting your hands on this girl, fuckboy!」

The oneesamas immediately raked him under hot coals. Plugging his ears, Takagi ran away. ‘*Ya~y!*’ The girls explode into cheer.

「If you get approached by weirdos like him, tell us, okay?」
「Your big sisters will be sure to protect you.」

They say while booping my head.
I have gained reliable allies… I guess?
