Confessing to a Moron ch1

p1

I had an encounter

with this

p2-3

athletic moron!!

She fell in love with an ahtletic moron!? A straight-up love comedy about freaky girls!!

p5

Erm... Ootsuki-san, was it?
Ootsuki-san~

Yes?

You don't need to clean that one since nobody's using it.
Finish up and head back.

p6

But even this is within the scope of the hallway I've been asked to clean.
I'm almost done, so I'll head back once I've finished.
Right... We'll go ahead then~

...That oughta do it.

Year One Proficiency Test Ranking

Class - 1-2
Score -

That person in first got some crazy marks.
Woah, you're right.

This much comes natural to me...!
Hehe~

p7

...Wait, the one in first is in our class.
Was there an Ootsuki-san?
I haven't memorized everyone yet.
Wahaha
There is... I think!
...

Everyone who's coming to karaoke, gather around~!!
Kay~
Let's head to the club already.
Senpai will get upset with us.
Hey~
Let's head home together~
Let's stop by somewhere on the way back.
Sounds good~

Where should we go on our date next weekend~?
!!

Even though we're all humans living on the same planet,
it feels like we're living in different worlds.
...No way I could do that.
But...

p8

I have this!

This is the Astrology Association

...So be it friends or lovers,

I don't need any of that!!
...Not that I've had either to begin with, mind you.
Ah.
Now's not the time for reading.

p9

I need to finish the club introduction poster.
Today's the deadline...

My first idea was rejected for some reason.

Astrology Association
Bring back the Astrology Club
I made it.
Ootsuki Ayumu

Guess I'll have to draw something.
I need to take good care of this association I made.

...Okay.
It came out well!

p10

If I put this up...
the association will officially be mine.
Fufun...
I'm the president.

Go~
Fight on~
One more~
Okay~
Nice~
Gather around~
Yeah~

Hey~!

p11

You dropped this.

p12

Ah!?
It's gone!?
When did that happen!? I didn't notice at all...!!

Uwah! She's a senpai too!!
She's wearing a blue necktie!!

Th-
Thank you very much.

p13

This is Saturn, right?
I wanna try running on its rings.

Astrology Association

!?

She's bringing up a topic!?
Even though we're strangers!? Just like that!?
Here.
Thanks...

...Wait.
...Huh? For some reason... this girl...

I wonder how many meters a lap would be~
has some well-balanced facial features...?

This feeling...!! Could this be...

p14

The Golden Ratio!?
&

*Ootsuki Ayumu Search

The most beautiful ratio a human can have since time immemorial.
It's been used for famous works or art and building designs.
Plants, animals... even space itself has adapted to this extreme beauty.

It's my first time seeing it in a human being...!!
Kh...
...B-Beautiful.
Hm?

Senpai... Your face forms a golden ratio...!
It's wonderful...
That so? Thanks~

p15

Wait, no!! She wants to run on Saturn...!?
Ah.
Erm, um... um... A-About Saturn...

Saturn's rings are fundamentally made up of water droplets,
so whilst they may look like planes, they don't have any adjoining land.
It's all individual droplets and rocks that have pulled into Saturn's orbit.

There's the effects of outer space's gravitiy, not to mention humans still have yet to go to Saturn in the first place,
so I believe "running" on Saturn's rings would be physically impossible.
Although there are plans to send a manned probe from the moon to Mars,
so I'd like to believe it will be possible in the distant future.

Heh... The Astrology Club sure knows a lot.
I'm not that great!
Ah, it's an association, not a club.

There's a lot of stuff about space that we still don't know.

p16

I love space,
so I want to learn more about it...
I want to take part in the research and development of extraterrestrial lifeforms.
And someday,

I want to fulfil my dream of meeting an alien.

p17

!?

Oh crap... I totally rambled on for too long...
It's been so long since I've gotten to talk about space with another human being that I couldn't stop myself...!

I even talked about unnecessary stuff...

I've once again...

p18

That's cool.

p19

...Ah.
I need to get going.

Thanks for teaching me so much.

I'm Hayami from the second year!
Catch you later!

p20

...C-...

COOL!?

p21

That girl... said I was... cool!?

Ah.
Welcome back, Ayumu-chan.
Dinner will be ready soon.

Yeah, I'm home~
...I don't get it at all.
Eh?

I've never been called that once in my life.
Why would she call me that of all people...?

The probe sent to explore Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, is currently...

I mean...

p23

Dream for the Future

...That's why I want
to meet an alien someday.

Nobody cared
about someone like...

p24

...She was the first person
who didn't laugh when I told her about it...

She thought... I was cool...

p25

Could she be
in love with me!?

I see... That's gotta be it...
It makes perfect sense!!
There's no other explanation!!

In this one Milky Way out of approximately 2 trillion galaxies...
on this one planet among 200 billion planets in this Milky Way,
this one senpai out of 8 billion people on said planet...

p26

loves me...!!

What is this feeling...?

I can't think of anyone else but Senpai...

I don't want to let her go for the rest of my life...!!

p27

...I love her.

See you tomorrow~
Later~
Bye-bye~

See you later~

...Senpai!

p28

...Ah!
The Astrology Club girl from yesterday.
What's up?

I looked for you, but I didn't know what class you were in,
so I waited here for you.

Eh? That so?
Sorry about that.
It's fine!

p29

Compared to the size of this universe, this much is nothing!
Ooh...?

Today,
I wanted to get an answer from you.

We'll go on ahead then.
Yeah~
Later~
See you later, Hina.
Kay~

...Y-Yesterday,
things happened so suddenly that I didn't know what was going on...
Yeah. So, what's up?

p30

At any rate,
I thought this would have nothing to do with me...
But I...

have accepted your feelings, Senpai...!!

p31

I love you, Hayami-senpai.
Please go out with me.

p32

I'm sorry.

...Heh?

H-Huh? She rejected me?
Even though she said I was cool?
Wh-
Why...?
Eh?
Huh?

p33

...I don't really know anything about love.

Besides...
that kinda thing is meaningless~
!?

Meaningless!?
Th-That can't be...!
Eh?
You have the golden ratio, and you're in...!
Um.
Why is this happening!?

p34

Come over here!

!?

...Ah.
Her hand is warm... and soft...

What's more...
Senpai smells kinda nice...

Put your things here and stand over there.

p35

...Wait.
Eh?
The schoolyard?

You'll understand if we run!
We'll dash towards that tree.
Should be about 50 meters.
Huh?

Eh? What?
U-Um, what's going-
On your marks!

Wait.
Get set!
Why?

p36

Go!!
!?

...Why?
I confessed,
got rejected

and now I'm running!?
I'm not even good at sports!!

p37

I-I can't...
I'm not built for running, and I'm in my uniform.
Why a dash all of a sudden...?

Goal!

Eh?
Ah, my legs got snagged...

Wah!!

p38

!!
Ah, I-I'm sorr-
See?

I have the most fun when I'm running!

p39

I wanna try running on its rings.

Th-This girl...

You'll understand if we run!

Ah, I'm on the track team!
You're always welcome to run with me!
Could she be...

an athletic moron!?
Wait, are you okay?
Sorry for pulling you down with me~

p40

Senpai is someone... who only thinks about running...!!

...Th-Then why
did you... call me cool...?

I simply thought

that you were cool for having a dream.

p41

I had an encounter

...So you didn't reject me
because you hated me, Senpai?
with a world I've never known before...

Yeah, that's right.

I don't understand...

Even though we live on the same planet...
to me,

p42

she's an unidentified lifeform.
Yeah.

Even though I couldn't get a wink of sleep thinking about Senpai,
she didn't think of me even a little bit.
Th-...

p43

That doesn't answer my question!!
Wah!?
You're crying!?

Erm...
Then should we run again?
!?
Ah.
Do you like long distance running better??
S-Senpai is the one I like!

...So

I'm be heading
oooooooff!
So fast!?

p44

Good morning, Hayami-senpai.

Ah!
Good morning! Astrology Club girl from yester-

p45

Science and math department, class 1-2, Astrology Association.
I'm Ootsuki Ayumu.
I'm here to confess to you again.

I don't know if she likes or hates me,
so I'll make her think about it until I get an answer...!
From now on, I'll make sure

p46

to fill your head with nothing but me!

Just gotta confess over and over!!
