Ch.29 Rumors During Break Time 1

"Huh? Hoshino? ...Oh, the girl wearing slacks uniform?"

"Sometimes she's wearing a skirt."

"There's always a buzz at school on days when she's wearing skirts and blazers, isn't there?"

"Is she the type of girl who suddenly became cute without even realizing it?"

"That girl's guard is loose, so sometimes you can see her..."

"No, he's a guy. He plays with girls in P.E. and stuff like that all the time though..."

"You're kidding, right?!"

"Don't say such terrible things just because Hoshino has small breasts."

"That's right, if a girl heard this!"

"You... ask to see the attendance register. It's written there."

"I mean, seriously, you should at least know the gender of your classmates by now..."

"He doesn't deny it, and well, he hasn't been around lately either though."

"So, what's the deal with Hoshino? He's on leave from school, right?"

One day at high school—the school building where Hoshino Yuzuki, Mitsumiya Rio, and the boy known as Tanaka belong.

There, little by little, "Yuzu-chan" began to become known.

"...Huh? Seriously? This little girl Yuzu-chan is Hoshino?!"

"What?! You've got to be kidding me, I just started supporting my new oshi!"

It spread little by little, from his class to the classes of his friends.

"Ah, but now that you mention it, that person really does look like Hoshino."

"That timid and gentle demeanor is so typical of Hoshino."

"I didn't recognize him because his hair has grown so long."

"We haven't really talked much to begin with."

"Well, that's because he's usually surrounded by girls or reading a book."

"It's kind of hard to talk to him... because of the stares from the guys and girls."

Hoshino Yuzuki.

2nd year of high school.

To put it simply, he's a "literary girl who's always either reading a book at her desk or chatting with her close female friends."

He's technically a "literary young man," but his appearance is more suited to that of a "boy" who is a literature lover.

"Hoshino is the kind of person where, from kindergarten through elementary, middle, and high school, every time there's a class change, people often forget that he's a boy even after being told during self-introductions."

"It's no wonder... The conversation was about books he'd read, his part-time job, and also about his vegetable garden and stray cats—no matter how you listen to it, it sounds like something a literary girl would say."

"He seems to be uncomfortable with it, but I thought he would definitely become popular if he appeared in front of people and did something like streaming... but I guess that's not going to happen."

"Ah, the way he's chosen this topic is exactly like Yuzu-chan's first stream... No wonder it sounded familiar..."

"Hey, you know, Hoshino, he's always surrounded by girls so I haven't really talked to him much... what kind of guy is he?"

"Ah... to put it simply, it's dangerous."

"Dangerous?"

The boys were chatting during their break, watching clips and archives of "Yuzu-chan's" live streams.

These days, it's becoming a trend at this high school to watch "Yuzu-chan" and share their thoughts with each other.

"That guy, you know? He has the face and hairstyle of a timid literature student, and the way he talks too, you know?"

"But on this screen..."

The screen shows a "girl" in skirts or shorts—clearly "little girl".

While it certainly includes some internet slang connotations, the figure looks like a young girl—at best, a middle school "girl".

"Even before he took a leave of absence, he sometimes grew his hair to the absolute limit allowed by the school rules...and it smelled really nice, like shampoo."

"...He's a boy, right?"

"He's a boy."

"Yes, he's a boy. No doubt about it."

"With that height?"

"You know how Hoshino is during the school assembly, right? He's by far the shortest. Of course, he's the shortest even including this year's first-year students."

"...So, you mean... not like that thing we learned about in health class or anything, but seriously, is he a boy? Even at heart?"

"He's a normal boy, you know? He had the same opinion of the manga as us, and he's definitely different from girls. His personality... and his body too. I mean, we went to the same elementary and middle school... you know, I saw him at the pool and stuff, so I know him."

"Ahh."

"Of course, he likes girl. Well, he never talks about it though, and more importantly, he can't talk about it when there are girls around."

"Well, if Hoshino were to fall in love with someone, it would probably be Mitsumiya, who's practically like family to him—that first-year who was always there during breaks, right?"

"Yeah. As soon as they got separated for a while at the start of middle school, Mitsumiya became like a pushy wife."

"...Hoshino...that Hoshino, swimsuit..."

"An otokonoko's...swimsuit..."

The students who knew him reminisced about the past and talked about "the girl who was always with him," but the male students who didn't know him very well were still interested, even though the stream had been censored to protect personal information.

"Yuzu-chan" moving and talking on the live stream screen, looking "absolutely adorable and charming," and then imagined her wearing only swim trunks.

"Stop it, you'll fall too."

"Hey... Hoshino in a guy's swimsuit... isn't that kind of weird?"

"Are you going to continue that talk...? It's okay, it's okay. In our school district, even the boys also have the over the shoulder ones."

"It would have been really bad if that wasn't the case."

"It was surprisingly advanced for a rural area..."

"Because it was a rural area, the mayor was unnecessarily and pointlessly enthusiastic. Well, they ended up merging anyway though."

Even so.

Even so, they imagined Yuzu-chan wearing the school-issued swimsuit—

"................................................"

"That's why, you know, you can't help but see him when he's changing clothes, so you can tell. He does have it down there, and his body is that of a man. He didn't try to hide it either."

"Well, the swimsuit itself was a girl's swimsuit at some point. At first it was a boy's...the kind that goes over the shoulders, you know? You can't see anything, right? ...but all the girls were strongly against it, and more importantly, it was a joint gift from those girls."

"...Yuzu-chan has... down there... women's swimsuit..."

"Hey, you idiot, pull yourself together. Because of him, 30% of the boys in our class have awakened. And what's more, the number increases every time the classes are rearranged..."

"Isn't Hoshino just too sinful?"

"That's one of the reasons why he surrounded himself with people he knew... Hoshino himself preferred a quiet environment."

"A victims' association, or perhaps a personal guard."

In addition.

The truth behind the swimsuit incident was that Yuzuki stubbornly refused to budge, insisting, "I'm a man."

Despite the teachers' passionate pleas for consideration towards sexual minorities, Yuzuki, possessing an unnecessarily strong sense of masculinity, insisted on his position and proudly continued as a boy until the first year of middle school.

In the changing room, he would get naked to change, and by the poolside, "even though his chest was covered, he looked like nothing more than a girl wearing a boy's swimsuit."

Whether it was about his daily life or something else, Yuzuki was the type to unnecessarily act tough only in situations like this.

...However, when he entered the second year of middle school, a female student who had joined in the first year reported the already hopeless situation, saying, "Because of Yuzuki-senpai, a lot of boys are developing warped fetish, and observing them, it seems like all the girls are just as warped, so please do something about it. If things continue like this, the population decline will accelerate for other reasons as well."

What was most concerning was that the boys they had liked started giving them weird looks, not at the girls, but at other boys, which made their uneasiness reach MAX level.

Faced with an extraordinary crisis, the second-year girls were also moved to action, and even gave him a girl's swimsuit as a gift... and from then on, he started changing in private rooms.
