She shouted loudly at Sumika, but this was the first time she had shouted so loudly since the time she gave me the engagement ring.
She is normally a mild-mannered person who does not like to argue with anyone, but the reason she shouted so loudly at Sumika was because she called her friends and the people she loves trash.
Since she is too kind to everyone, her blood probably rises more when her friends are called trash than when she is called trash herself.
“Eh, what? Did you get mad just because I said something bad about your friend? You’re such a short-tempered woman to go on a rant over something like that. You’ll be happier if you break up with a woman like that and go out with me.”
There was no way that I would be happier with Sumika than with Kohime
In fact, any woman other than Sumika would make me happier.
“I’ve heard about your foolishness from everyone, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad. Would Eita san be happier if he went out with you? Please put your foolishness to rest. Eita san will definitely be happier if he goes out with me ! No, I will definitely make him happy !”
“Wha–“
Sumika was surprised to hear the word [fool] thrown at her by not only Mai chan but also by Kohime, and I couldn’t hide my surprise as well.
But what surprised me more was the last word, [I’ll definitely make you happy !]
I had lied about being in a relationship with Kohime, and she had only been accommodating me.
However, I felt that what she just said was not just an attempt to make me happy, but her true intentions.
How manly of her to say that she would make me happy.
Needless to say, this manliness must have come from Taketsugu san.
I mean, Kohime, do you really want to go out with me?
If so, I’m so happy and I can give you the engagement ring with confidence ……
Now is not the time to be happy.
Sumika looks surprised at being called a fool, but I don’t feel sorry for her.
It would not be enough even if the word [fool] was thrown at her a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times.
Since Kohime has said so much, I must at least make Sumika apologize, even if I cannot make her truly reflect on her actions.
“…No matter how much you argue, everyone here agrees that Sumika is at fault. It’s not like you committed a crime, and I’m not trying to punish you, but why don’t you at least apologize?”
I took a step forward and demanded an apology from Sumika.
I thought that after being criticized so much by everyone, Sumika would admit her guilt and at least apologize.
I thought so, but Junko Sumika looked down and shook her body slightly.
Even after all this has been said, are you still feeling frustrated and not admitting your sin?
“……Y’all are so annoying ! It’s not my fault ! It’s all your fault ! Stay away from me !”
“Whoa !?”
Sumika pushed me with both hands as I approached her.
I wasn’t expecting to be pushed and wasn’t prepared for it, so I fell on my butt on the spot.
Due to the reaction, the contents of the bag flew out and were scattered on the ground.
“Ouch…….”
“…What? This box……”
What Sumika picked up from the scattered contents of her bag was the engagement ring I had brought with me today to give to Kohime.
The moment I saw it, I got nervous.
Not only that, I have no idea what Sumika would do if she saw the contents of the box.
“Stop ! !”
Sumika opened the box without any reason to heed my protests.
“……Ring.”
I expected the worst from Sumika’s atmosphere.
If things continue like this, it won’t be good, and if Sumika does what I expected, there will be no way to take it back.
I got up quickly and tried to stop her.
“Hey ! Don’t touch that ring !”
“Shut up ! ! There’s no way I can let you be the only one who’s happy like this ! !”
“Ah—“
I hurriedly got up and acted to still Sumika, but the next moment, Sumika threw the ring as hard as she could toward the river.
The next moment, she threw the ring into the river with all her might, and the only sound was that of water.

I seriously hope Kohime beats the shit out of her next chapter. I’d say Eita should do it, because it’d hurt way more from him, both physically and emotionally, but then he’d get charged with assault because apparently gender equality doesn’t exist in Japan.
Also, forgot to mention this earlier, but she kinda did commit a crime, two in fact. Her spreading rumors about him trying to rape her, thus destroying his reputation are what we call libel, as well as false accusation, both of which are considered to be pretty serious as far as legal offenses are concerned.
Drag that bitch into the water and hold her down till she retrieves the ring or the bubbles stop.
What a Pu**y MC it’s so disgusting. No wonder the ratings dropped. Imagine letting her do that. Ofc MC will find it in a few chapters but still it’s such a forced drama, it’s cringe. Thanks for the translation regardless.
Imagine throwing the engagement ring of one of the most powerful businessmen in japan, that previously belonged to his dead wife, into a river. A ring that he gave to his daughter for the purpose of giving to her future husband.
She has no idea how fucked she is, I imagine the repercussions are going to put her family out into the street.
Like just imagine the repercussions of doing this in real life. She would first be kidnapped by the yakuza at her fathers orders, then gang raped, then used in either porn or prostitution until she can work off the perceived value of the ring. And that’s if she’s lucky.
