“Can I sit next to you?”
Before I could respond, Guren sat down next to me again. I told him I didn’t want to sit next to him, but he kept asking me.
He looked at the cup in my hand and sighed with an expression as if to say
“You’re drinking Enadori again, aren’t you? Mao-chan-sensei is going to get angry with you.”
“She’ll forgive me anything if I hug her from behind, so don’t worry. It’s easy, easy.”
“I see. If you keep doing that, she’s going to resent you someday you know?”
I can’t do without caffeine these days. It has become an addiction. I know it’s bad, but I can’t stop, that’s what addiction is all about.
“…… Miyabi chan, she’s a cute girl.”
“I’m telling you, he’s mine.”
“Not that. I heard …… you beat up your senpai yesterday.”
“Oh, …… well, yeah. Thanks to that, I’m going to write a letter of remorse.”
I had intended to tease him jokingly, but Guren’s expression was somewhat stiff. As I was wondering about this unusual behavior, Guren began speaking while picking at his sweets.
“I thought you didn’t like violence anymore?”
“…… Just because I don’t like it doesn’t mean I don’t use it. It was the best way to break them.”
“I see. …… Is there a reason for you to do that much?”
I nodded, looking at Miyabi who was happily chatting with Banno on the sofa opposite.
The reason why I care so much about her is because she resembles my past self and also because I have a strong desire to protect her.
She says she is dirty, but her pure reactions and honesty make it hard to say that she is dirty. She is not like a seriously wounded person. She is the one who gives me comfort. That is Tsukishiro Miyabi.
However, there is a part of me that looks at her from a parental perspective. I want her to grow up strong and happy. She is still holding on to herself even though she has been hurt so much.
“Reito loves Miyabi chan very much, after all. Is it okay? Won’t those girls kill you?”
Ryo sat down next to me as he spoke to me in a teasing manner. I sigh at the topic, which I don’t want to think about.
I’m afraid of that, too. However, I’m not going to throw away Miyabi when it comes to this point. I have to make sure she grows up healthy.”
“What kind of mother are you? ……Between you and me, is Miyabi chan the best?”
“…I don’t know. Unfortunately, I’m quite unfaithful. I get distracted easily, so I don’t know what will happen. I also have Yamanashi and Hoshirobe.”
I’ve known these guys for a long time, so they know I’m like this. I’m sure that’s why I couldn’t deny it.
The only thing is, as long as I am loved by him, I will return the love. It’s a love and be loved relationship.
“,,,,I see. I’m jealous of you – I hope you keep me in the corner of your brain too.”
“You should settle for best friend. It’s a safe place to be.”
“Fufu, I’m not so foolish as to be afraid of failure and settle for the status quo. I wonder who will be by your side in the future?”
Ryo leans closer to me, as if to intimidate me. At the very least, I can’t see a future where he’ll be beside me. I can’t say it’s for certain, but it looks like you are going to lose, Ryo.
“After all, it’s a woman. Hoshirobe also complained. “Sendo-kun has found a new girl again’”
“I think she’d better find a new guy.”
“…… Reito, I think Hoshirobe would go crazy if she heard that.”
:Y-you’re right, but she depends on me too much. It’s a waste of a successful character change.”
“……, you should have a little sense of responsibility. Who do you think made Hoshirobe like that?”
“Hmmm…that senpai?”
“…… that’s one thing, but not the other.”
“Then the blonde gal who went out with senpai?”
“That’s also possible, but it’s different. …… Hoshirobe became like that partly because of you, Reito.”
“Me…?”
t was a topic that didn’t really resonate with me, but it seemed that Guren and Ryo were on the same page. Ryo looked exasperated, while Guren sighed and spoke.
“Do you remember what you said to her on the day he swas rejected by Ryujin-senpai?”
“…? No…not at all.”
“‘Don’t give up. I hate people who give up easily’… Those are the words you definitely said. Aren’t these words a warning to you?”
I was shocked there. A casual word can be a warning. A casual word can bind someone and interfere with his or her way of life. I know that kind of experience well. But despite this, I had forgotten about it.
What if I was the cause of what happened to Hoshirobe? Everything I’ve said so far would be the ramblings of a fool.
The more I think, the shallower my breathing becomes. My vision is narrowing and my consciousness is fading away. I’m……
“Reito! Compare this!”
“Ha……?”
“Which is better, me or Tsukishiro-kun’s boobs!”
It was Uryu-senpai’s silly words that held my consciousness back. I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and gave a dry laugh.
You can’t compare to your senpai.
“You can’t compare to her, senpai. Right, Miyabi?”
“Don’t bring me in!”
I laughed it off and got out of the situation, but the image of Hoshirobe with that forced smile on her face remained in my mind.
