After My Invisibility Was Exposed by the Good-for-Nothing Tsuna

[Main story complete... Any revisions will just be wordsmithing]

I’m an ordinary high school student. This is a little embarrassing to admit, but I really do have a superpower.

Not the “Look! My cat can do a backflip!” kind. This is the real deal! Want to know what it is? Don’t be scared. I can actually...

Turn invisible!

Heaven: With great power comes great responsibility. Become a superhero!

Me: Obviously, I’m going to enjoy myself first!

I’m already disappointed that I can’t magically make money appear. Invisibility will have to do...

Even if it’s not really a superpower, but something called Adolescent Syndrome that needs treatment, who cares? I spend so much time smiling fakely to read the room. In the world of invisibility, I’m king! Punch that teacher I hate, then kick that classmate I hate. What, you like talking too much? Take this middle finger! Could a human really get grades like these? Are you an idiot?

“Idiot”: Could you stop looking at my test paper? That’s really rude!

Me: Huh?

Huh? Huh? Huh? What?

Wait, what? Aren’t I king? Sawada, let me explain. I’m not usually like this!

Sawada: But last week you were playing air guitar in the classroom...

Okay, stop talking!

I hate Sawada.

Though he looks so meek and easygoing, he can be pretty reliable sometimes when we’re teammates...

(That’s right. For some reason, everyone around us has Adolescent Syndrome now. We have to fight if we want our peaceful lives back!)

Fine, we’ll reluctantly pretend to be good comrades and fight side by side...

Wait! He’s not nearly as honest as he looks! He’s the most stubborn, troublesome guy in the world!

It’s all an act! He only acts so obedient so he can push his luck later. Don’t let him fool you!

Sawada: You’re the last person who has any right to say that!

I decided we’d disband the team as soon as this job was done, but then another problem came up.

The time-reversal patient played dirty. I was just showing her how to be popular, but somehow I ended up as a perverted creep who randomly confesses his love to guys, and Sawada got branded the biggest playboy in Namimori...

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please forgive me!

I decided to help Sawada one more time before disbanding the team. He likes Kyoko from our class, right? I’ll help him win her over!

By the way, Kyoko was the person I confessed to, but we’re friends now!

But my grand plan didn’t go quite as well as I’d hoped...

At first:

Me: Winning someone over means appealing to what they like, so first you go to the haunted house, then ride the roller coaster...

That guy Tsuna dragged me along too, and I was scared out of my mind.

Later:

Tsuna: “I never said I liked Sasagawa, did I? Those times I blushed? Um, it was because of someone else...” (looks away)

Me: Huh? Are you kidding me? Someone else? There’s nobody else here!

I was furious. There weren’t any girls around Tsuna! I was going to find out who this person was! And then...

Then what?

I don’t know. I just felt inexplicably miserable!

==This is a sweet romance==

==Everyone’s got something wrong with them. What do we do?==

Reader’s guide

1. This is set in a parallel world to my other novel, Childhood Friend, Mortal Enemy. There’s no mafia in the main story, and it starts in high school. You can read this without having read Childhood Friend, Mortal Enemy.

2. Important! The heroine has lots of one-sided crushes! Both leads have someone they secretly like at first, but they only have feelings for them. Nothing more develops! I won’t avoid writing about this as I did in Childhood Friend, Mortal Enemy, because adolescence is full of crushes! But the romance between the leads is the main focus!

3. A warm and sweet romance.

Theme: Ordinary people can have extraordinary lives
