On the night of the day I went out for dinner with Mari, Haruka contacted me via group LIME.
“Who’s free tomorrow!”
“What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
“Actually, I was free at lunchtime today, so mom and I were talking about renting some videos, and I saw some horror movies there, so we rented some!”
“Umm, are you suggesting that we all watch them together? Haruka-chan ……”
“Yes! Summer means horror, right!”
“Eeh…..”
“Fufufu I’m fine with it. It sounds like fun.”
“Well, I’m not a horror fan but, it’s fine. ……”
Sara seems to be the only one who doesn’t like it a lot. …… I guess she’s not good at horror. ……
“I’m fine with it too, but …… is Sara okay with it?”
“Well, if we’re all together, I’m sure we can manage …… right?”
Why the question form? ……
“Okay! That’s the decision then! Mom can’t come because of work, so this time there will be five of us.”
“So where are we going to watch it?”
“If Akuru san’s house is okay, then Akuru san’s house would be good. ……”
“My place is totally fine, I have a screen.”
“Then we’ll meet at Akuru’s house!”
“What time do you want to meet?”
“I’d like to have a full day of fun, so if everyone can make it, I’d like to meet around 9:00.”
“I’m fine with that.”
“I’m okay too.”
“Mee too.”
“Me too.”
After that exchange, I ate dinner, took a bath, and went to sleep.
◇
“Wow.”
I looked at the clock and saw that it was 8 o’clock.
“I must have slept more than I thought I would.”
I washed my face, ate my dinner, and prepared myself to some extent, then opened the refrigerator.
“Wow, I almost ran out of drinks. ……”
If everyone comes today, there won’t be enough to go around. ……
There is only 10 minutes left until the …… meeting time, I’m going to go buy some.
I’ve already given them the key, so they can come in and wait for me if I just call them on LIME. ……
I thought so and went outside after LIME.
As soon as I left the house and stepped out onto the street, I was approached by a voice.
“Hey! You there, ……, stop!”
I turned around and there was a guy about the same height as me, a guy who looked like he was a charlatan,…… Saito
I mean, he’s kind of messed up and suprised….
Did Kamiya say something to him?
But if so, why are you surprised to see me? ……
I don’t get it. ……
Looks like he’s all alone. …… I’ll have a little chat with him.
“You again? What do you want this time ……?”
I said, obviously unhappy.
“Haa, what’s going on with you, …… of all people?”
“Haa? What are you talking about?”
“Just so you know, ……, do you have a girlfriend?”
What is this guy? I knew it was Kamiya-related. ……
“I do, so what?”
“Well, since it’s you, I’ll make it clear that I’m here to beat you up at the request of a guy who says you forcibly took his girl. …… but I don’t want anything to do with you. ……Can I talk to you for a minute?”
If not, Kamiya must have asked you to do it. ……
The way it looks, he didn’t know it was me, did he?
Of all the people to try to use Saito…… isn’t he afraid of what will come after,……
Or maybe he thinks I’ll lose before I have time to resist. ……
Well, I don’t really know.
If there’s going to be a problem, I’m going to have to push the button Mari gave me.
Let’s hope Saito is not an idiot. ……
“Of course I got her to be my girlfriend by mutual consent and there is absolutely no way I would force her to be my girlfriend. What are you going to do when you hear this? Can you trust me?”
“That’s …….”
Saito was about to answer my question when a loud voice interrupted him from the side.
“Aaaaahhh ！！！！ Akuru!!!!”
I turned to the side and saw Haruka, Ai, and Sara a short distance away.
Then the three of them came running up to me.
“Akuru kun, are you okay? Did he do anything to you?”
Sara stuck close to me and said so, and Haruka and Ai stepped in front of me and glared at Saito.
Oh no…… this is a as expected, I have to push the button…… it’s a different story when the three of them are there. ……
That’s when
“Haa, I kind of get it. ……”
For some reason, Saito said that as if he was taken aback.
I don’t feel any malice, though……
I seriously don’t know what you’re thinking ……
“Saito,…… I seriously don’t know what you mean,…… what do you want?”
I said anyway and pulled Ai, Haruka and Sara behind me.
“Can I ask you three girls one question?”
“Ha? Well, is that okay?”
I looked at them as he asked that, and they nodded slowly.
“Did any of you have a boyfriend just before you started going out with this guy?
“Haa? Of course not! Akuru is my first boyfriend!”
“So was I. …… Can you please stop saying things you don’t understand? It makes me uncomfortable.”
“Akuru kun is my first boyfriend too!”
Saito sighed more deeply as the three of them said this.
“Well, just so I’m clear, there’s no way you guys have been dating your childhood friends or anything like that. ……”
“No, there’s no way that’s true!”
“I’ll say it again, we all started with Akuru, what are you talking about?”
That’s enough, okay? We have something to do! You must have been told something by Suguru anyway! If he said something about us dating, then he’s just deceiving you!”
When Saito heard this, he looked somewhere different and then turned his gaze back to us, and all at once his eyes became sharp.
The three of us were surprised to see that.
“Yeah, I’m sorry,…… I’m a little annoyed that I was tricked,…… forget I came here today, I’ll never get involved with you guys again…. …”
Saito said in a voice that sounded clearly cut off and walked away.
“Hey, ……, are you okay?”
“He obviously meant Suguru when he said he got deceived on. ……”
“I don’t know what he said to him, but he probably did. ……”
“Yes, …….”
This is going to hurt Kamiya even if we don’t do anything about it. ……
I think he’s going to break one of his arms by the looks of him. ……
Even like that, they’re childhood friends at least, so is it safe for the three of them?
“Hey, you three, ……”
“It’s okay, …… Akuru.”
“Yes, Suguru should be hurt this time.”
“Yes, Akuru kun could have been in a lot of trouble,…… and Suguru kun deserved the same thing.”
The car from Mari’s house arrived just as the three of them were saying that.
Mari got out of the car and was smiling, but somehow I felt scared.
“What’s going on, Mari?”
“I heard the whole thing earlier, but I’d like to hear more details from Akuru san, okay?”
“How did you hear about it?”
“I was on the phone with Mari, you know? …… and I didn’t hang up, I went to Akuru’s place, right?”
“Instead, I would like to hear everything from Akuru kun from the beginning. ……”
“Yeah…..”
“Well, let’s just go inside ……”
“No, that’s fine, we can go to the premises and no one will bother us, please talk now!”
I’ve never seen Mari this angry before. ……
“Um, well, I’ll talk to you ……”
And so I told her what had happened since I met Saito.
“So Suguru told him to come and attack Akuru, didn’t he? ……”
“That’s disgusting! Seriously, what is this ！！！！?”
“……”
Well, it would have been better if Saito wasn’t an idiot. ……
“Fufufu, I’m sorry, I have some business to attend to, so I’ll leave you to it.”
What kind of errands? ……
“Well, not too much, okay?”
“Yes,…… he’s here to beat Akuru san to a pulp, right? …… well, but I’m going to punish him in moderation. ……”
With that said, Mari got in her car and went somewhere.
“Well, what are we going to do?”
“Haa, I honestly don’t feel good, and I’m not in the mood for horror ……”
“Me neither …….”
“Well,…… let’s all disband for the day,…… I feel bad that Mari is moving and we’re the only ones playing.”
That’s true too,……
“But then, what is Mari trying to do? ……”
“I don’t know,…… but whatever Mari is up to, I won’t stop her. This time it’s a bit too much. …… If it weren’t for Akuru, we’d be in a lot of trouble for sure.”
“He should be punished accordingly.”
“Yeah, this is no time to be feeling sorry for Suguru’s parents.”
Then we split up with a delicate atmosphere.
