A few hours prior to the Date

(3rd person PoV)

Currently, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was surrounded by a number of boys. If the glares could kill, he would have died thousand times already. Ike, Sudo, Yamauchi, Professor, and even some boys from different classes, whom he obviously didn't know. There were some seniors as well. He was just going to his dorm room after buying some clothes after the classes ended. Going on a date would be a new experience for him, just as much as interacting with people normally has been.

But, he got surrounded by them and was carried to an isolated place. There were 30 of them, and he was alone. He didn't know what did he do to get targeted by so many people. No, he knew, but didn't want to believe it. Just yesterday, he was mingling with the boys of his class, who were complaining about some girls sitting out in swimming class and debating whose breasts were bigger and having various fantasies. And now they were giving him such deadly glares. Maybe that was the extent of their friendship?

"Be thankful that Yui hates violence, otherwise I would have beaten you up to a pulp!"

Sudo, who has started to become a civilized person, only grabbed him by collar and glared more intensely.

Though, something unexpected happened. Suddenly everyone started ganging up on Sudo himself.

"Oi! And what about you!? You are having provate lessons from Suzuki-sama herself! I wanna kill you!"

"He! You guys jealous, eh?"

That triggered everyone as they started fighting among themselves more.

"Man! I saved up 60,000 points. If I haven't bought that porn mag, it could have been me!"

"Lucky class D bastards!"

"Yeah! Imagining her being my sugar mumma is so exciting!"

"If she asks me, I wouldn't mind being her slave for the rest of my life!"

"Any other girl doesn't stand a chance against her. Man! Those thighs are the work of god!"

"You dare have such fantasies about Yui! I will kill you!"

Seeing that he no longer was the center of attention, Ayanokoji tried slipping away, but was caught by Ike.

"You are our friend, right? If you betray us and lay your hands on Suzuki-chan, we will make you regret living!"

"Yeah! Keep at least 50 meters distance."

"I will kill you if you ever had any dirty thoughts about her!"

After repeatitive death threats for about half an hour, he was finally allowed to go.

"Don't try anything funny! We have our eyes on you!"

He ran with all his might to his room. After locking the door, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

'I see. So there is no such thing as friendship among guys. It just takes a single girl to cause war among them. Funny how only the opposite is a famous teaching.

Will I become the victim of bullying? But if I will be able to spend time with such an angelic girl, I would happily do so. Thankfully, I bought some clothes before they dragged me. It wouldn't suit to be in uniform for a date.

But will it work? I honestly think she will leave me after finding me to be so boring. Will we hold hands? Maybe we will share a kiss? Or we will go all the way there? No, I must not think like that. I will not touch her. Even though my friendship with those guys is fragile, even though I am a low level friend, I will protect it with all my might. Afterall, there is nothing in the world which the power of friendship can't overcome! Even if those friends will be stalking my date. I really regret being friends with them.'

He sighed again and proceeded to get ready. He had a date to attend.
