Chapter 23: -23- Men's dream
"Hey, did you guys hear?"
Ike Kanji suddenly said to everyone with a sly look.
"I heard there's some kind of ranking list for handsome guys among the girls."
Ike Kanji's words made Hori and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's eyebrows raise slightly.
But Yamauchi Haruki, being arrogant, spoke up.
"Oh, I know about that!" Yamauchi Haruki said proudly, "I'm ranked first on that list!"
Upon hearing this, both Hori and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka had the same thought.
"Bragging!"
Kushida just mentioned earlier that the first place is from Class A.
Moreover, with Yamauchi Haruki's behavior, it's a relief if he's not ranked last, let alone being the first.
However, Ike Kanji didn't seem to doubt it.
"That's awesome," Ike Kanji said wistfully, "I wonder what rank I am."
Seeing his longing expression, both Hori and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka felt embarrassed to tell him that they didn't see his name anywhere on the list.
However, Ike Kanji revealed another unexpected piece of information.
"I didn't expect the girls to have their own ranking list," Ike Kanji said, "I thought only we were making such lists."
"What?" Ayanokouji Kiyotaka asked in surprise, "Do we guys have a ranking list too?"
"Of course, it's in our chat group, don't you know?" Yamauchi Haruki took out his phone, saying, "It's on this page. Ayanokouji, haven't you checked it? Nanaya, you're not in it, right? Let me add you!"
With that, Yamauchi Haruki asked for Hori's number, finally allowing Hori to enter the boys' chat group.
By the time Hori opened the designated page, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka had already seen the ranking list.
"Dream Ranking?"
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka tilted his head, looking puzzled.
"That's right."
"When it comes to men's dreams, is it only that?" Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki made a lewd gesture, letting Hori and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka know what this so-called "dream" was and what it was ranking.
The two were speechless on the spot.
"Men..."
Hori, while speechless, glanced at the so-called dream ranking list.
Among them, a girl named "Hasebe Haruka" ranked first.
Hori had some impression of this name.
"I remember she's quite beautiful and has an outstanding figure, receiving a lot of attention from boys after school started, right?"
However, she showed no interest in those boys who came over, even showing a disgusted look, and barely talked to anyone, not even Hirata Yousuke could have a conversation with her, making her comparable to Horikita Suzune in class 1-D.
As for being reclusive, maybe she's on par with Hori?
She probably didn't expect to be at the top of this ranking list.
Of course, the rest of the girls in class also ranked from high to low, including Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyou, but the gap was huge.
Although Horikita Suzune is undeniably a beauty, her figure is not particularly outstanding, belonging to the category of ordinary girls.
Kushida Kikyou, on the other hand, appeared quite big, and even though she didn't top the list, she was usually within the top three to five ranks.
However, that wasn't the most important thing.
The most important thing was that even though guys couldn't possibly have the girls' bust size data, this ranking list seemed eerily accurate, as if it could really rank the girls' bust sizes, which was chilling.
"...Anyway, aren't you guys observing too closely?" Ayanokouji Kiyotaka mentioned with a hesitant tone.
The response from Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki was a simultaneous statement.
"Because we're guys!"
It was indeed quite a blunt yet convincing reason.
"But, can this list really guarantee accuracy?" Ayanokouji Kiyotaka squinted, saying, "Some girls may wear clothes to appear thinner, while others may pad underneath. How can we be sure of the authenticity of this ranking list?"
Faced with Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's rational analysis, Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki responded.
"So, this list is also subject to change."
"Let the real pros continue to analyze."
What exactly are the real pros?
Is there really someone who can see the true size underneath the clothes and tell whether padding is used?
If such a pro exists, Hori felt he would also be inferior.
"By the way, there's a trend among guys to bet on the girls listed on the ranking. If you invest, once a month, if the one you bet on occupies the top spot, you get points from the others who guessed wrong," Ike Kanji said mysteriously, "I bet on Sakura."
Incidentally, Sakura Airi mentioned by Yamauchi Haruki was her full name.
She's a girl with glasses, long hair, looks very plain and low-key, hardly talks to anyone in class, and has a very low presence.
Hori did remember this girl.
Because, she happened to sit right next to Hori, just like Horikita Suzune, she was Hori's desk mate.
Though Hori wasn't very familiar with Sakura Airi, he did remember she had a great figure.
Even now, on the yet-to-be-updated list, Sakura Airi was second only to Hasebe Haruka.
"I'll only tell you this, she actually confessed to me."
"What? Really!?"
"Really, but keep it a secret. She's not very noticeable, so I turned her down. But I saw her in casual clothes that day, and she looked quite big, so I bet on her."
"Fool! Even if she's not cute! If she's **, you should go for it!"
"No, no, if it's not at the level of Kushida or Hasebe, I'm not interested. I'm not into those rustic girls."
Yamauchi Haruki continued to talk as usual, leaving Ike Kanji with a worried and frustrated look.
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka could only silently watch from the side, probably this was his way of existence in this unpopular group?
Of course, regarding Yamauchi Haruki's words, leaving aside others, Hori only thought he was bragging.
Based on Hori's impression of Sakura Airi, she's an extremely quiet and introverted girl who isn't good at interacting with others, and it's impossible for her to confess to the opposite sex.
If it were a handsome guy like Hirata Yousuke, it might be possible.
A guy like Yamauchi Haruki, she probably would've run away from.
