What the heck is Kiyotaka thinking?
I, Kei Karuizawa,am in a bad mood right now.
The reason for this is mainly because of my current boyfriend, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.
Did he forget that he's dating me?
It was about thirty minutes ago that I had this thought.
It was about 30 minutes ago when I was about to go to Kiyotaka's room to hang out after the first special exam of our 2 year was over and I was finally free from studying for the test.
"What, Kei ?"
"What do you mean? I came here because I was worried about Kiyotaka's hand injury."
"Oh, so you came all this way to worry about me?"
"Don't worry about you at all, okay? I don't like it when people get hurt all the time. So, are you free right now?"
"I'm sorry, but I have a visitor."
"Visitor?"
Who would be coming into Kiyotaka's room? Hirata-kun, Yukimura-kun, Miyake-kun. That's who I could think of,but...
Kiyotaka was waiting for me at the door, so I could see through the door into the entrance of his room
There was a pair of shoes there, and from the looks of it, I thought they were women's shoes.
"Oh, it's Karuizawa-san, isn't it?
"What?"
"Hey, Sakayanagi. I thought I told you to wait in the room when I'm out."
"I'm sorry, but since Ayanokoji-kun seemed to be enjoying talking to you, I was wondering who you were."
The person who had visited Kiyotaka's room was Sakayanagi-san, the leader of Class A.
Huh? No, I don't get it.
"Wait,wait,What do you mean, Kiyotaka?"
"Huh..."
Kiyotaka let out a sigh of annoyance,which annoyed me. Wait a minute,you wouldn't normally take a girl into your room if you had a girlfriend?
And yet be alone together.
If it was Hasebe or Sakura from Kiyotaka's group, I could still understand because Yukimura and Miyake-kun were probably there. But still, if you're going to bring a girl into your room, it would make sense to contact me, your girlfriend.
"I'm sorry, Karuizawa-san, but this is a personal matter between me and Ayanokoji-kun, so I can't talk about it with a third party. Isn't that right, Ayanokoji-kun?"
"Well, I'm sorry Kei. I was just asking Sakayanagi for advice .It's not about the exam or anything like that, it's about something completely private, so I would appreciate it if you didn't ask."
"No, no, no, no, no, do you know what you are saying."
Kiyotaka is out of his mind.
Even though you have never been in a relationship before, I can't believe you having a secret conversation with another woman without telling your girlfriend.
".. If it's a private story, it's even more unrelated to Karuizawa-san? I'm sorry, but it would be helpful if you could leave ."
"That's what I'm talking about, Kei. I'll call you when I'm done talking. Come visit me then."
"..."
"Hey, Kei?"
"Now, let's continue our conversation. Ayanokoji-kun."
"Oh, yes. I'm sorry,Kei , but I'm going to have to leave you alone for a while."
"Shut up! you should get along with Sakayanagi-san. I don't know you anymore!"
I was extremely irritated by Sakayanagi's gaze and Kiyotaka's attitude, so I kicked the door lightly once and left the place. To which Sakayanagi-san looked disappointed, Kiyotaka let out a sigh, and I left the dormitory feeling alienated.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————
...I'm annoyed, annoyed, annoyed.
I'm also annoyed that you're letting another woman in without telling me, and I'm annoyed that you two are sharing a secret that I don't know about.
Besides, it was Sakayanagi-san, of all people.
I was surprised and shocked because I haven't seen her with him before.
"Kiyotaka is cheating on me? No, no way..."
I was walking alone in the mall, whispering to myself.
"Hey, there, pretty lady."
"Yes?"
Perhaps it was because I was walking in frustration, but the moment I was approached, I felt a little tense. The person who called out to me was a fortune teller who looked familiar.
"Huh...? I think you were from last year's summer vacation?"
"Oh, you remember me?"
Last summer vacation, a fortune teller came to the Keyaki Mall for a short time. I didn't have a lot of points to spare, so I didn't do any fortune-telling, but when I was at the mall, I saw her doing it.
"Young lady, you're having a lot of trouble with your love life. Isn't that right?"
"What, you can tell?"
"Well, yes. I can see the negative aura coming from you."
"Is it that bad?"
I was definitely frustrated, but this fortune teller seemed to have read it as a love affair.
Is it possible that it's real?
"Would you like to have your fortune told?"
"I don't have enough points to have my fortune told. If I want I'll come back later."
"No, I'm not going to charge you. I'm just going to ask you a few questions. What do you think?"
"Well... just a little."
I thought about going back to Kiyotaka's room, but Sakayanagi's face flickered in my mind, and once again my resentment began to build up inside me.
It's no use dwelling on it, if I can just get him to listen to me....
I then told the fortune teller exactly what had happened today. The fortune teller gave me a thoughtful look and took out a pair of glasses.
"What's this?"
"This is a special order item that allows you to see how much your lover likes you. Since you seem to have doubts about whether your lover really likes you, you can try it out"
"Well, well..."
I put on my glasses and looked at the fortune teller.
"If you put on your glasses, look at the person and think strongly about them, you will get a numerical measurement of what they think of you."
The fortune teller told me, and I strongly thought about the fortune teller in front of me in my mind. It was the next moment.
"What the hell is this?

I looked at the fortune teller with my glasses, and what I saw were letters and numbers floating in the air.
Trust, Friendship, Affection, Favourite Enemy, Sexiness, and General Comments, so I knew immediately what this fortune teller thought of me.
"You and I have never met before,so I'm sure your readings are low across the board for someone you've never met. If you've never met before, it's usually around 20."
"What? There are letters and numbers floating in the air! But you can't touch them...?"
"You can also measure the likability between other people by strongly visualizing two people in your head."
"That's awesome.Can I have this?"
"Yes, because this is a dangerous item if used improperly. I was going to dispose of it, so I'm giving it to you. You're in luck."
"Yes, thank you!"
"The only problem with these glasses is that they have a fatal flaw." You're not here anymore?"
The glasses I received for free from the fortune teller were even more amazing than I expected. I was surprised to see the letters and numbers floating in the air, but for some reason I accepted the reality of it as long as I wore these glasses
Anyway, if I could look into Kiyotaka's eyes with these, I would know.
I might be able to find out what he thinks of me.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————
In the end, I didn't n't hear from Kiyotaka last night. I just felt so bad when I visited Kiyotaka's room, thinking that Sakayanagi-san would be there, so I decided to see him at school .
"What! Karuizawa-san wore glasses!"
"Well, my eyes have been getting worse for a while now."
"Wow, they look really good on you!"
"Thank you."
Of course, the glasses did not have lenses.
It is possible that the fortune teller lied and gave me a defective pair and for the time being lets should check the liking of Shinohara-san who approached me.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Karuizawa-san?"
"Oh, it's nothing!"
To put it in simple terms, trust is just that, trustworthiness, friendship is how you feel about someone as a friend, affection is how you feel about someone romantically, and so on. Good enemy is rivalry, and sexiness is how you feel about someone sexually.
Shinohara-san's love for me and sexiness are lower than the other items. This is probably true for most people of the same sex. If it were higher for someone of the same sex, well, I guess that's just the way it is.
"Good morning, Horikita-san!"
"Good morning, Kushida-san. You're up very early today."
"Well,yeah. Ayanokoji-kun hasn't arrived yet, has he?"
"If you think I know every single thing about him, you're out of your mind."
"What? are you sure?"
As I looked towards Kiyotaka's seat, I saw Horikita-san and Kushida-san talking about something. Horikita-san had recently cut off her long, beautiful black hair.
Since then, Kushida-san has been getting involved with Horikita-san more often. But it seems that Horikita-san is a little annoyed with her.
I think I'll take a look at those two ,just in case.

What?
What is this?
I can't believe Kushida-san hate horikita-san that much. No, I think it's a problem with this glasses.She got over three digits for good enemies, that's impossible.
I don't know, I feel like I shouldn't touch Kushida-san. If I keep watching this, my life will be shortened, so I'll pretend I didn't see it.
"No, considering the way Horikita-san usually treats Kushida-san. No, but only Kushida-san is like that..."
"Good morning, Kiyotaka."
"Good morning, Kiyotaka-kun. Yosuke."
He's here!
Kiyotaka finally came to school.
"What is it, Karuizawa? Did you start wearing glasses?"
"Why do you care. It's my choice."
"I see."
Since we hide the fact that we're dating from everyone, we have surprisingly little contact. But since becoming 2 year, we've been able to make small talk in class.
I'm annoyed that he didn't show even a hint of apology for not contacting me or commenting on Mr. Sakayanagi yesterday.
But that's okay.
I will see with my own eyes, what you think of me.

"What?"
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing."
"I see."
Kiyotaka looked at me strangely once and then sat down. I took off my "unknown" glasses and looked at Kiyotaka again, but the result was the same.
"Is there a problem?
There are many inadequacies, such as Kushida-san's favoritism toward Horikita-san earlier, and I couldn't see Kiyotaka's favoritism toward me
Kiyotaka Ayanokoji -> Suzune Horikita

When I tried other combinations and looked at them, none of them showed Kiyotaka's favoritism.
Horikita-san and Hirata-kun are talking to Kiyotaka about something. ...Oh man, I'm really curious. Kiyotaka got a perfect score in math on the last test, and his classmates are taking notice of him.

No way. Horikita-san likeability is insanely high. It's not even close to the level of Kushida's. All five items are extremely high.
You can't possibly think that Horikita-san also likes Kiyotaka?
Let's take a moment to calm down. Drink a cup of tea, look at Hirata's favorability rating, and calm down.

"Boooooooooooooooo!"
"Ka, Karuizawa-san!"
I saw Hirata-kun's liking for Kiyotaka and blew out my tea. I hurriedly wiped my mouth and desk with a towel from my bag and started playing with my phone as if nothing had happened.
Ugh, no....
Hirata-kun, you're swing that way!
What do you mean, his love and sexiness, which should be high for the opposite sex, exceeds that of Horikita-san, who has a high likability to Kiyotaka?
I was taking my morning class with a completely unsettled mind.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————-
"There he is..."
It was lunchtime.
Kiyotaka seemed to have been summoned by someone, so he left his seat early and headed towards the cafeteria.
"I wonder who he's meeting..."
When I followed Kiyotaka, I found Ryuuen, the current leader of B class. I have many bitter memories of Ryuuen. Seeing Kiyotaka and Ryuuen made me feel uneasy, but they seemed to be talking about something. There was also Shiina-san, who was having tea with Kiyotaka during spring break, near Ryuen.
Okay....let's see.

"Does ryuen also like Kiyotaka. If it's girls I can understand but what's with boys getting attracted to him."
"Well...this one was kind of predictable. I'm not going to worry about the triple-digit number of good enemy at this point..."
When I measured Kushida-san's enemy measurements toward Suzune Horikita, it was over three digits, and I wonder if it's normal to exceed that if you have strong feelings toward that person.
The Ryuen is an added bonus. That's not what I'm concerned about.
"......yeah"

Overall-What is this feeling?
No, she is completely in love with him.
I was so upset by Shiina's level of liking for Kiyotaka.
I've had my eye on Shiina-san for a while. I've had my eye on her for a while now, but I didn't expect her to be this good.
A girl from another class who shares the same interests as Kiyotaka and whom he is calling by name for quite some time. The most dangerous person for me right now is not Horikita or that Amasawa girl, but Shiina.
I really don't want Shiina-san to be my rival.
I'm not sure if it's the same for Horikita or Sakayanagi, but Kiyotaka's lack of control had me scratching my head. After talking with Ryuen, Kiyotaka walked off again towards somewhere else.
The next time I followed him, I saw Ichinose-san, the former leader of B class who has now dropped to C class, and Sakayanagi-san, the leader of A class.
...No, wait a minute.
Isn't it strange that I feel like a wife watching a secret meeting?
"What are they talking about?"
Sakayanagi-san took a step back from Ichinose-san and Kiyotaka's conversation, listening to their conversation from behind and occasionally adding a few words. Basically, Ichinose-san was talking to Kiyotaka, and Kiyotaka was responding nonchalantly.
No... I don't think it's possible, but....

"Kiyotakaaaaaaaaaa ！！！！！"
"What, Karuizawa-san?"
"Oh, it's been a while since yesterday. Karuizawa-san."
Ichinose and Kiyotaka were surprised by my sudden appearance, but that didn't matter.
When I saw that the two of them were evenly matched or better than Shiina-san, I couldn't help myself.
"I'm sorry, both of you, I'm going to borrow Kiyotaka."
"Hey,Karuizawa. What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
"Just shut up and follow me. Do you understand?"
"Wait, Karuizawa-san, we are still in the middle of a conversation. I don't want you to take Ayanokoji-kun with you."
"Yeah, yeah! And calling him by name..."
Sakayanagi-san and Ichinose-san were surprised, but they were trying to keep Kiyotaka there. I kicked Kiyotaka in the thigh so they wouldn't see me, and motioned for Kiyotaka to join me.
"Sorry, Ichinose, Sakayanagi. I remembered that I had business with Karuizawa. See you next time."
"See you later, Ayanokoji-kun."
"I'll talk to you later."
Ichinose-san, who was looking at Kiyotaka being pulled by me, was terribly lonely, and Sakayanagi-san seemed very dissatisfied but it doesn't matter.
‥‥ This guy, Sakayanagi-san alone wasn't enough, and when did he reach out to Ichinose-san without my knowledge?
——————————————————————————————————————————————————
It was only after we had walked for a while and moved to an empty place.
"What is it, Karuizawa? What's up with you all of a sudden?"
"...Kiyotaka."
"I'd like you to stop calling me that at school, because it's easy for people to guess. If the leaders of the other classes find out about our relationship, they may even target you."
"It seems that you are very close with Sakayanagi-san and Ichinose-san."
"It's just a conversation."
Kiyotaka looked at me and sighed, wondering what I was unhappy about. What do you mean, I am not happy? We're dating, aren't we?
"Hey, Kiyotaka.How do you feel about me?"
"You are my very important girlfriend."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Then why did you let Sakayanagi-san into your room yesterday?"
"As I told you yesterday, it's a private matter. I told you not to ask."
"...You really like me, don't you?"
"I do like you. Did you get a makeover?"
"This is...!"
Kiyotaka came close to me and we exchanged a few words. Kiyotaka noticed my glasses and took them off.
What's this? No glasses?
"Give them back!"
"What? What the hell is this?"
Kiyotaka took my glasses from me, looked at them once, then put them on himself and looked at me.
Wait a minute, Kiyotaka wore those glasses!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
"What the hell is this? You seem to have a strange sexiness to me. What kind of toy is this?"
"Just give it back to me!"
I took the glasses from Kiyotaka and put them back on. It still didn't give me any figures, but I told him the whole story from start to finish.
"Well, that fortune teller..."
"That's what I meant... and since yours didn't show up for some reason..."
Kiyotaka gave me a thoughtful look and said to me.
"Don't worry. You don't have to look at the numbers, you're the one I like the most."
"Well.... Then tell me exactly how much you like me."
"Well, yeah. As much as you like me, right?"
"What?"
I felt as if something had burst inside me.
Wait...if Kiyotaka just put on his glasses, that means he saw how much I liked him, right?
In other words....
"You know... these glasses don't quantify how you feel about the other person."
"Hmm? What's that?"
"How much did I like Kiyotaka?"
"Most of them were in the triple digits. I don't know what the average number is, so I can't say."
"Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ！！！！！?"
No, I can't see Kiyotaka's face.
The first half are triple digits...?
"The affection measurement is 309. I don't know what the average is, but I'm pretty sure it's about the same."
"────"
Oh, hey, Kei ?
"────"
"Hey, Kei."

"No response. Your face is really red. Are you sick?"
"Oh..."
"Hmm?"
"It's your fault, you know!"
What the hell is that?
Did I have over 300 units of love?
I believe Shiina and the others had 100. In other words, I love Kiyotaka three times as much as those girls.
"Ow, ow, stop hitting me."
"Stop hitting me, you idiot. It's all Kiyotaka's fault."
"You're being unreasonable."
"‥‥‥‥‥‥ Oh, yeah... 309."
You're in a good mood
"It's nothing!"
But for some reason, I was in a good mood.
Because I have a much higher value for Kiyotaka than the other girls in the competition - I'm the one who loves him the most.
309.
Kiyotaka also like me the same , right?
I really hope you're right.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————
"There is one fatal flaw. " you can't see the likability of someone whose mind is completely blank.
The glasses measure likability.
The principle of the glasses is to read the other person's mind and then quantify their perception of others in five categories.
Every human being's heart is tinted with some color, because it contains every emotion, every sentiment, and every personality.
If you can't quantify it, then you're probably a poor person who was born with no interest in others, no feelings, no emotions.
I wondered if it was really a good idea to give the glasses to the girl.
But the only thing that can stain a person's heart that cannot be quantified is if that person truly cares about that person.
If a person who is close to the girl comes out as "unknown"....
It only means that the person doesn't think of the people around him or her as being the same as him or her at all.
"I'm not sure if there really is such a thing as a person who only sees people as pawns. At the very least, I hope there are no such people around that girl."
When that girl finds out the true meaning of "unknown", I'm sure her view of that person will inevitably change. The fortuneteller thought at that moment that it was a good thing that he did not tell her about the defect of the glasses.
The fortune teller will give something to someone somewhere today.
Is it an afterthought, or is it something else entirely?
No one, including Kei Karuizawa, knows for sure.
