Episode 5 – next day

The next day. The next day, when the classroom door was opened, Yamanashi was sitting in her usual seat.

Since then, Yamanashi’s safety has been confirmed by her own voice, and the situation has been resolved without much trouble. The reason for her disappearance has not yet been revealed, and the school and the Internet are still abuzz with debate about why she disappeared.

One student gathered her courage and came to Yamanashi with her friends.

“…… Yamanashi san, were you okay yesterday? How could you have disappeared?”

“Hmmm,…… let’s call it a love escape, shall we?”

She said while looking at me. At those words, a loud voice rose from the classroom. …I have nothing to do with it.

Because of her suggestive remarks, the girls in the class began to speculate about what kind of man he might be this time.

“There’s a lot of excitement.”

“That’s because you make it sound like it’s someone else’s business.”

“There’s nothing wrong with that. I plan to make my relationship with Sendou-kun public later.

If that happens, I probably won’t be able to escape. It’s scary just to think about it. I decided to stop thinking about it.
　

“If that happens, there will be no more women who will approach Sendou-kun…Fufu…fufufu…♡”

“…… Yamanashi, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but stop thinking strange things. It won’t end well.”

“It’s not strange. It’s a process to publicize my relationship with Sendo-kun. It will be an important event in my life and Sendo-kun’s.”

“Since when do I have to share my life with you?”

“Do you hate it?”

A shiver ran down my spine. I immediately realized that the direction of the conversation had taken a turn for the worse with those words, and I immediately began to make amends.

“Are you sure you don’t want to be with me? Can’t you forget about your girlfriend?”

“Wait, that wasn’t a rejection of you. ……”

“Why, why, why, why?”

“Hey, Stoop!”

I held Yamanashi’s mouth.

……”…… Calm down for a second. I’m not saying I don’t like you. I’m just not sure how to deal with you in your current state. I don’t want to build a bad relationship with you and have it become distorted. Do you understand ……?”

“…..Yeah. I’m sorry, I’m a little distraught. I’m sure Sendo-kun would never betray me, right?”

“Ah, that’s right. I have no intention of leaving your side for the time being. So calm down.”

She nodded in understanding. I tried my best to fix the situation with the words I had in my head, but when I saw her smiling with sad eyes from beginning to end, I felt strongly that I should stop using this excuse from now on.

“Hey, did you hear? Kyoda-kun’s story?”

“I heard. I heard that he was doing all kinds of things. ……”

The school was not entirely devoid of talk about Yamanashi.

Kyoda was given guidance by her and decided to leave this school. The video that went viral was immediately discovered by the school’s teachers, and an emergency meeting was held. The school determined that there was no room for extenuating circumstances, and sentenced him to voluntary expulsion.

Rumors spread quickly with the video, and students who did not know his true nature were upset.

As a victim, I felt good. Evil will always be defeated and justice will prevail. This truth will never be broken in anything. Whether one upholds it or resents it depends on one’s point of view.

“….. Reito-kun”

“…… Nina”

I was on the rooftop when my ex-girlfriend, Hinozuki Nina, called me. I fixed my eyes on her, who was wearing a fleeting atmosphere under the blue sky where the spring breeze brushed her cheeks.

“……What do you want?”

“I’d like to have a little chat with you. about …… Kyoda-kun.”

Well, I thought that was probably the case, so I waited for Nina’s next words without asking again.

“…Did Reito-kun do it?”

“Well, that’s what I think. Unfortunately, I’m not the culprit.”

“I’m not mad at you, ……. I’m just sad.”

“You’re so indirect. What are you trying to say? Speak up.”

“Can we try this again?”

I must have looked like a pigeon hit by a peashooter. I was puzzled by the momentary blankness.

“We broke up once, but I think we can still start over. We’ve been together for so long…”

“It’s impossible.”

As if interrupting Nina’s words, I confronted her with cold words.

“You’re the one who abandoned me once. I’m not stupid enough to swallow the idea of going out with you again just because it’s not convenient.”

“But you and I were so compatible with each other! Was that a lie?

“It wasn’t a lie. It was true at that time. My words and feelings are not a lie. It was you who lied.”

Nina’s words got stuck in her throat. I already have no idea what she’s thinking. Now that Kyoda is gone, there is nothing to support her. Who would allow us to go back now?

“What’s the point of being in love with each other? You have no right to use such words when you only see a man as a tool for your self-improvement.”

There is no forgiveness. This woman is more rotten than I thought. In the past few minutes, I’ve come to realize that.

W”hy, why, why? We used to date!”

“Don’t try to talk to me emotionally. It’s a fact that I was dating you and it’s the biggest stain on my life. …… You should consider yourself lucky that you didn’t get involved. Don’t ever get involved with me again.”

With that, I turned on my heel and left the rooftop. It’s best to end the conversation before it gets hysterical. The moment I do, I’m at a loss for words.

I made a clean break with my past and never looked back.

“…… it’s that woman’s fault.”
