The Top Idol Next Door Can't Help But Crave My Guilty Pleasure Meals-Chapter 4Volume 1 .2 - I Wish You Wouldnt Come
ROUND 4 – I Wish You Wouldn’t Come 2
“Hey, did you hear? Apparently, there’s a celebrity among this year’s freshmen.”
“A celebrity… like an athlete?”
Orikita High School promotes excellence in both academics and sports and despite being a public school, it’s quite active in club activities.
Especially the baseball and basketball teams are regulars at the Kanto tournaments.
I don’t know if they offer sports scholarships, but it wouldn’t be strange for a well-known talented player to enroll.
“It’s an idol, an idol. The name… if I remember correctly…”
『At this time, we will begin the entrance ceremony for Orikita Public High School. First, we will have the entrance of the first-year students…』
Hozumi’s lines were drowned out by the speaker’s announcement.
We welcomed the freshmen with thunderous applause.
Immediately after, a shrill voice could be heard through the cracks of the applause.
The first-year students walked solemnly through the center of the gymnasium, their faces tense.
Among them, there was one girl who stood out from the crowd.
“No way…”
I was wide-eyed in disbelief.

Well-arranged features, black hair cascading like a clear stream over her shoulders, and a dignified demeanor.
“Yuzuki…”
There was no mistaking it. Sasaki Yuzuki has enrolled as a junior in the school.
“That’s right, Arisu Yuzuki! The center girl from 【Spotlights】! The real deal is so cute~”
Hozumi was grinning from ear to ear next to the stunned me.
The neighbor and idol I knew took her seat without breaking her composed expression, seemingly accustomed to the murmurs of the crowd.
Come to think of it, when I checked the wiki once, it said she was fifteen years old.
It’s not strange that we’d be in the same school, given we live in the same apartment building.
“Even a girl like that goes to a normal high school, huh? Maybe I’ll check out her classroom later.”
Hozumi ran his fingers through his permed brown hair and smirked.
“…No, don’t do that, it would be a nuisance.”
“Man. If we were in the same class, I could brag about it to the guys from junior high. I’d at least like to talk to her once before graduation.”
Far from just speaking a word, I’m currently visiting her house every day, and just yesterday, I was stroking her belly on the bed.
If Hozumi had known about that, he would probably have cried tears of blood.
Regardless of Hozumi’s reaction, I’m surely in a situation others would envy.
In fact, I myself have been enjoying my recent daily life.
The more I think about it calmly, the more I realize that I can’t let the nature of my relationship with Yuzuki become known to those around me.
In the end, the atmosphere in the venue did not dissipate until Yuzuki and the others left, resulting in a somewhat lackluster entrance ceremony.
——And then after school. The guy in the seat in front ofo me turned around with vigor.
“I can’t stand it anymore. Let’s go to the first-year classrooms!”
Hozumi then slung his school bag over his shoulder with his fanboy enthusiasm on full display, looking like he might dash out of the classroom at any moment.
I’m the only one who can rein in this guy who’s on the verge of running wild.
“I said it during the entrance ceremony, but you’re going to bother her. Let’s go home now.”
“Don’t worry. It’s not like I’m going to hit on her or anything. Besides, I got a girlfriend over spring break.”
Looking back, it seems like he said he had his eye on someone around last winter.
“Just hearing her voice up close would make me happy. Come on, let’s go.”
I was half-dragged to the first-year floor on the first level.
I wonder if he knows which class Yuzuki’s in.
Peeking into each classroom and getting the stink eye from the freshmen each time is something I’d rather avoid——
As it turns out, my worries were unnecessary.
As we descended to the first-year floor, the classroom of Class 1-A came into view first.
Right next to it, there was a crowd of people near the door at the front of Class 1-B.
The number easily exceeded ten.
Observing from a distance, the density of people inside and along the corridor side was even higher.
Through the gaps in the crowd, glimpses of graceful black long hair could be seen.
Yuzuki was smiling and skillfully handling a barrage of questions despite being surrounded by a large group.
Among them, the girl with twin tails right in front of Yuzuki seemed completely smitten with the class idol.
“Arisu-san, why did you enroll in Orikita? Don’t all celebrities go to private schools with an entertainment program?”
“Being a celebrity isn’t that big of a deal. I’m just a normal high school student.”
“You’re not normal at all! You have such a cute face, and your skin and hair are so glossy, I’m jealous~. You must be using expensive brand-name skincare products, right?”
“Not at all, I just use affordable stuff you can find at the drugstore. I guess I pay more attention to things like strength training and my diet.”
Yuzuki seems at first glance to be a friendly high school girl you could find anywhere.
But having shared meals with her in her private life for the past few days, I can tell.
——That’s her idol mode.
Right now, she always looks the person in the eye when responding, and the timing and frequency of her nods are perfect.
This isn’t a skill that can be developed overnight. She must have had a similar experience in junior high.
“…Are you satisfied now? Hozumi, let’s get out of here.”
“Wait a moment. If only I could get a closer whiff of a beautiful girl’s scent…!”
The moment I reached for Hozumi’s nape, Yuzuki turned towards us.
Her large eyes widened even further——It seemed she recognized my presence.
“I’m sorry. I just remembered I was called to the staff room. Everyone, please take care of me from now on.”
She stood up with a full-bloom smile.
Then, starting with the twin-tailed girl, a large group of followers immediately cleared a path.
It was clear that they were all what Yuzuki defined as ‘fans’.
As I hesitated whether to call out to her, Yuzuki muttered under her breath as we passed by each other.
“…Resource Room”
The beautiful girl continued down the hallway alone without looking back.
If any tactless person tried to follow her, they would immediately be subdued by the crowd.
“Hey, didn’t Arisu Yuzuki just say something?”
“…I don’t know. But we’ve accomplished our goal, right? I’ve got things to do, so I’m heading home first.”
“Sure. I’ll just read some manga in the library until her staff meeting is over.”
Wait what? His girlfriend is a teacher?!
