[Alright, finally it’s Izumi’s turn!]

Somehow, M-chan’s voice seemed to tremble slightly.

“Hey now, are you thinking I’m going to mess up?!”

Don’t worry, M-chan! Who am I?

If I keep quiet, Aki says I’m mature, Akabane thinks I’m her master, and Utsumi wants to adopt me…

Most importantly, Koga wanted to get close to me from the very first impression!

That’s right, I am Kainoh Izumi…

There’s no way I’d mess up over something like this!

“I-I wrote this down.”

“Aki: Cute / Akabane: Cool / Utsumi: Pretty / Koga: Kind”

[Haaam…]

[Um, well.]

[Hmmm.]

[Thanks, Izumi!]

Huh? I clearly wrote all nice things, but why does it seem like everyone’s response is a bit off, except for Utsumi?

Especially Koga seems to be… getting, uh, bad vibes…

– Lol, all the peers wrote names, but Mei-chan alone is using surnames.

– But for someone with communication impairment, calling people by their names must be tough…

– Still, Mei-chan is (self-proclaimed) the ultimate social butterfly, right?

“Don’t put the word ‘self-proclaimed’ in there twice!”

I see. Everyone was trying to show friendliness by addressing each other by their first names, but here I am, bringing up surnames and honorifics. Who knew that would cause a problem!

The path to fitting in is rugged and tough.

[Well, there might still be some awkwardness.]

[I just said, the talking Izumi is cute…]

[It’s an honor that Izumi called me pretty!]

Is everyone at least somewhat agreeable…?

[Hmmm.]

Nope.

For some reason, Koga still seemed uncomfortable and was only letting out low sounds.

What on earth did I mess up?

[Haaam…]

[…Should I go?]

[Izumi, you seem to know a lot about me.]

[Why did you think I was pretty, Izumi?]

[You really are something, Ayaka.]

I heard that.

It seemed like everyone was too caught up in their own conversations that others couldn’t catch it, but I distinctly heard Koga say, “Well, let’s just move on.”

What on earth was wrong with the first impressions I wrote?

…I don’t know.

If I were sharp enough to catch this, I wouldn’t have communication impairment in the first place!

So, let’s just move on!

If there’s anything I’ve learned from my total of 40 years living, it’s that holding on to unsolvable issues is the dumbest thing one can do.

For example, trying to fix my social outcast status? Not a chance…

[So? Why did I think you were pretty?]

[You never give up, do you?]

So, I guess I should answer Utsumi’s question first.

“Well, Utsumi has, um, a super nice… chest…”

[…Huh?]

– ?

– What’s with the sudden boost?

“Huh?”

What’s wrong? Saying your chest is nice is a compliment, right? It means you’re incredibly attractive, doesn’t it?

Ah, I didn’t add additional explanations.

“Y-You have a big chest, so it gives off a sexy vibe, which makes you, uh, pretty.”

– Because you have a big chest, you give off a sexy vibe and that makes you pretty
