Episode 2 

After Sumika left the family restaurant, I was lying on the table for about an hour, unable to move.

I wondered why this had happened, how I could have avoided this situation, and what I should do about my feelings for Sumika.

Various thoughts ran through my mind, but I could not find any answers.

It was raining outside. It was not that I forgot to bring an umbrella, but I couldn’t find the umbrella I had brought in the umbrella storage area outside.

Since Sumika and I had been using my umbrella when we came to the store, and it was not in the umbrella storage area, it was obvious that Sumika had gone home with that umbrella, which was not her own.

There is a big intersection in front of the store, and I had to cross to get home, but of course there was nothing at the intersection to protect me from the rain.

I ran out of the store, prepared to get drenched in the rain, and waited for the  light to turn green as I was drenched by the pouring cold rain.

I felt the cold rain pouring down from the dark sky cooling my overheated head.

At first I was angry, but now that the rain has cooled my head a bit, I can think that even if it was selfish, if Sumika didn’t get wet in the rain because she used my umbrella, that’s fine with me.

No matter how badly I was dumped, no matter how badly she took my things home, I still love Sumika so much, and the time I spent with her was so special. It was an important thing.

Sumika, who had filled most of my heart, suddenly disappeared, and even though I felt like a gaping hole had been left, it was also true that memories with Sumika still filled my heart.

“Haa… What am I gonna do….”

 I can’t help but let out a few words in the face of such a bleak situation.

It goes without saying that someday I should sort out these feelings for Sumika.

But for now, I just wanted to forget everything and get comfortable.

I thought so, I checked the pedestrian light that turned green and started walking, looking at the sky as I crossed the pedestrian crossing.

It’s a bit too dumb to get drenched by the heavy rain after being dumped by my girlfriend, but why is it that when I’m sad, I feel the urge to self-mutilate by getting drenched in the rain like this?

Thinking about this, I looked ahead and saw a petite girl walking toward me.

I don’t know why, but she was not holding an umbrella like me, and she was walking with her head down without showing any signs of impatience even though she was soaking wet, and she seemed to be wearing a similar atmosphere to me who had just been dumped by Sumika.

She looks quite short, but she’s probably a middle school student…or rather, an elementary school girl.

Although she looked young, she was so beautiful that I could see her from a few meters away.

The girl was so pretty that I feared she might be kidnapped if she walked alone.

Worried that she might already be stalked by a stalker and might actually be kidnapped, I looked around.

Then I saw a passenger car coming at a high rate of speed toward the crosswalk where we were walking.

The car was going very fast, and I wondered if it would stop even if they applied the brakes on this wet road.

The girl didn’t seem to notice the car approaching, and I knew that if I didn’t do something, that girl would be hit by that car.

At the moment I thought that, my feet were moving.

Normally, I would have been able to do nothing more than stand by and watch, but my legs, desperate after being dumped by Sumika, unconsciously began to move.

If I was hit by a car and killed after saving this girl, the news of my death would soon reach Sumika’s ears.

If Sumika heard it and thought [Eita died because of me] I would say [Suck it up] to her in heaven.

……I guess I was an unworthy man for Sumika when I was thinking this.

I started running towards the girl while thinking this and managed to push the beautiful girl away before the car reached her.

And right after that, I received a severe shock to my body and my vision went completely black.

◆◇Six months later◇◆

“……I’m really sorry about that time. I couldn’t believe it when Eita told me that Takamiya senpai was horrible towards woman, but it turns out Eita was right.”

“……”

“So, I want to go out with Eita again.”

“……”

“Hey, are you listening to me?”

“……”

“Hey, Eita ! Why are you ignoring me ! We’ve known each other since childhood, right !?”

Six months after Sumika dumped me, we ran into each other by accident, though I didn’t intend to.

I was a little dubious when she asked me to get back together with her, saying that she wanted us to be lovers again.

“……Who knows? I don’t have any childhood friends, so I don’t know.”

“—!?”

[We are no longer lovers, childhood friends, or friends.] In short, it was Sumika herself who declared that we were strangers.

In that case, instead of having a proper conversation, it would be polite to have a conversation as if you were a total stranger.

“I mean, who is that girl you’re with, EIta !?”

“I-I’m…….”

And the person behind me, anxious about meeting Sumika, is my dear friend Arayashiki Kohime, who goes to a different school from us.

This was neither planned by me nor the result of careful planning.

It was really an accidental encounter.

I had Kohime by my side, and I had no desire to take revenge on Sumika, so I tried to avoid getting involved with Sumika as much as possible.

Of course, at first I was so angry that I felt like she should go to hell, and it is true that I had a desire for revenge.

The person who completely erased my desire for revenge was my friend, Arayashiki Kohime.

After meeting and getting to know her, the existence of Sumika and my desire for revenge against her were completely erased from my mind.

Therefore, there is no need for me to take revenge on Sumika anymore.

Even so, I could not pass up the opportunity God had given me.

So I told Sumike a lie.

“This is Arayashiki Kohime, my girlfriend.”

“G-girlfriend !?” “Eh–!?”

To get revenge on Sumika, I introduced her as my girlfriend, even though we were not dating yet.

As a result, Kohime looked like a pigeon had been hit by a pea gun, but more than anything, Sumika’s regretful expression left an impression on me, and my desire for revenge was instantly satisfied.

So, six months after Sumika called me the worst, I would take revenge on my worst childhood friend, Yoshino Sumika, together with my best girlfriend (temporarily), Arayashiki Kohime, who thinks the best of me and loves me from the bottom of her heart.
