Takasugi-kun Decides to Become an Explorer

If I become an explorer and the leader of a party…
who should I recruit as members?

I looked it up online—most people seem to form parties of four to six members.

Having too many people makes coordination difficult, and it also reduces individual income, apparently.

But... no guys.

Just seeing a guy talking to Nakamori-san makes me irritated.

Girls are no good either.

If they end up falling for me, it would be a disaster.

I have no intention of looking at any woman other than Nakamori-san.

I’m completely devoted to her.

I glanced around our classroom.

That’s when I realized—I already know the perfect person.

Yamada-san!

She’s Nakamori-san’s childhood friend and close to her.

And she’s dating Aoyama, a fellow classmate.

Which means—no risk of romantic trouble.

Perfect!

But still, I can’t invite Yamada-san directly.

If I do, she might mention it to Nakamori-san too soon.

And women love surprises, or so I’ve heard.

So for now, I’ll keep this a secret from Nakamori-san.

Here’s the plan:

First, I’ll recruit Aoyama.
Then, I’ll have Aoyama invite Yamada-san into the party.
Finally, I’ll count on Yamada-san to give Nakamori-san a little push to join.

If Yamada-san is already in the party, it’ll be easier for Nakamori-san to say yes.

Yes.

It’s a flawless plan.

I can already see the future where this surprise goes perfectly.

I really am on a roll today!

Alright—next break, I’ll head to the neighboring class and invite Aoyama.

I’m so excited I can barely sit still!

Party dynamics: In this world, explorer parties typically have 4–6 members, balancing teamwork and income distribution.
Takasugi’s logic: Once again, his decisions are driven entirely by his romantic obsession, not practical reasoning.
Yamada & Aoyama: Chosen solely because they’re a stable couple, making them “safe” additions to the party (in Takasugi's eyes).
Romantic delusion: His plan is a layered web of misdirection meant to "surprise" Nakamori-san with his brilliance—a humorously flawed yet self-confident move.
