Chapter 638: Lab Members (2/2)

[……………….]

[Ah, no, I mean……]

When Erina slightly puffed up her cheeks as she spoke this, I quickly answered her, but I immediately regretted my mistake. Hearing what I said, Erina looked at me and gently smiled. However, knowing her for a long time, I understood that she was angry.

[……Kaito-kun…… You're getting twice the homework.]

[……I'm sorry, but please don't do that. Professor Kurosu is an attractive, mature woman after all.]

[If you understand it, that's good. I'll still give you more homework though.]

[……Eh?]

The cost of my careless comment came back in the form of increased homework. It was a very severe punishment before the winter break came.

[Ahaha, well, that's why Kaito-san is quite the lucky guy. You don't just have a flower in each hand, there are flowers all around you.]

[……Well, I won't deny it.]

Indeed, as I'm the only man in this lab, I'm probably in an enviable position among my peers. Well, I can't always keep up with the topics that only women can talk about, so it isn't really all good……

[Ahh, since we're talking about aliases, Kaito-san also has a name like that.]

[Eh? Seriously? I thought I was pretty ordinary though…… Heehh…… Is that so? I didn't know that. By the way, what do they call me?]

I don't know why, but I'm a little nervous. I thought I was average looking, my grades were above average, and there was nothing special about me…… but I also have an alias huh.

That kinda makes me a bit happy……

[……”Yumegaoka's Scheduled Explosion”.]

[That's not a very nice name, isn't it!?]

I gained that alias because I'm completely resented by the same gender!?

[Incidentally, regarding Kaito-san's evaluation from the same gender…… 70% say that they want you ”to go explode”, 20% of them say ”Well, he's a good guy, so I'll spare him the personal punishment”…… and there's 10% saying that ”they want to go out with you”.]

[Wait a freaking moment! That's the evaluation of the ”same gender”, right!? What the heck is with that last 10%!? Those were absurdly terrifying words, you know!?]

[……In fact, one of them is a good friend of Kaito-san…… Whoa there, saying anything more than that would be uncouth of me.]

[Don't stop there! You're making me really scared here!]

I just heard a terrifying fact that I didn't want to know. I wonder what kind of face I should make when I meet my male friends tomorrow?

Geez, how should I say this…… I'm worried about the future.
