A Dumb Beta's Diary

[Hopeless at Romance, Traded Social Skills for Intelligence]

[Diary Entries from the Protagonist's Perspective, Third Person]

Synopsis:

I recently transmigrated, and it seems I ended up in a parallel world.

But I don't feel like anything has changed.

Since it's a parallel world, I might as well keep studying hard.

Today, I got the highest score in the grade on the entrance exam.

That's me for you!

I hope I can get along well with my classmates from now on.

But the Alpha who came in second looked at me very strangely. It seems my dream of getting along with everyone is about to fall apart.

As expected, he gave me a strawberry cake with almonds in it after school. The red jam spelled out, "****, first place?"

He'll stop at nothing to claim first place... His true intentions are finally revealed. He's so calculating, so devious that he even tried to assassinate me by putting almonds in my favorite strawberry cake.

I won't give in.

My deskmate wore some lovely orange-scented perfume today.

I asked him what brand it was, since it smelled so good and I liked it so much that I wanted to buy some too.

But not only did he refuse to tell me anything,

his face suddenly turned bright red, and he looked like he was about to cry the next second.

My classmates even thought I was bullying him.

I really wasn't...

I just wanted to buy some perfume.

Today, the school bully cornered me in an alley outside the school gates, bracing both hands against the wall on either side of me and saying coldly, "Don't leave after school."

Were his ears red with excitement because he was about to beat someone up?

How terrifying! Somebody help!

Please don't hit me in the face.

My childhood friend called me an idiot today.

A hopeless romantic idiot...

What! You have to be kidding. I'm a little genius.

Just you wait. It's only dating.

A little romance is nothing I can't handle!

Hmm, I confessed to four people at once today. I heard they were interested in me, but not a single one accepted.

Well, in that case, I'll go find someone else.

The school heartthrob in the class next door seems like just my type

But why are they so angry when they didn't accept my confessions, yet I asked them for advice?

Huh? No way? Am I not a genius?

Reader's Guide:

1. Everyone's favorite, written to indulge my own tastes. Why are there fewer and fewer dense heroines these days!

2. The author has watched too many light novels and Japanese anime, and it's soaked right in, orz.

The joke in the last line of the synopsis comes from the song "Enji ft. Kasane Teto."

Theme: Grow toward the sun.
