“W-what do you mean…..?”
I stood there for a while after Kaoru entered the house, then returned to my room and muttered to myself.
I feel terrible…..
Kaoru has a boyfriend……and he’s from the same school……how is that even possible?
You didn’t even pretend to be talking to a boy…….
Speaking of that…..I heard that a senior confessed his feelings for her recently, could it be !
No, I don’t think so…..but there were rumors that he was rejected.
So maybe it’s someone I don’t know……
“Why…..we’ve been together for a long time…….”
Kaoru and I had been friends since kindergarten.
Even when I introduced her to other friends, she ended up staying next to me.
That’s how she was behind me all the time until we were in junior high school. ….
I thought Kaoru liked me……
“Who the hell is he……”
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with that candidate.
If someone knew that Kaoru was dating, there’s no reason why the story wouldn’t spread…..because Kaoru is famous for being such a beautiful girl in school. Considering this, Kaoru has probably been hiding it until now……
The more I think about the fact that Kaoru has a boyfriend, the worse I feel.
“Why the hell……Kaoru…..”
There was a possibility that that was Kaoru’s lie…but there was no need for her to tell such a lie, and she actually seemed to be on very good terms with that man.
Now that I think about it, I think it was a long time ago that she smiled like that when she was with me…….
I thought if Kaoru would have a boyfriend, it would be none other than me. ….
And I knew that Kaoru had changed……maybe it wasn’t because of Hiroshiki san either, but because of that guy?
Maybe, but I’m sure it was……otherwise, there’s no way Kaoru would have said we can’t be together just because we’ve known each other since childhood.
“How far has Kaoru go with that man….”
The chest aches as she walks with her arms crossed.
Even I have never crossed arms with Kaoru, how could she…..with a guy who isn’t me….
Maybe they’ve even kissed already,…..Kaoru’s first kiss……
“No……I can’t think about it any more…..”
I don’t want to think about anything more, but I just can’t get Kaoru out of my mind.
Thinking about it only makes me bitter……but the more I think about it, the more my heart aches and the sadder I become.
Tears gradually came out and I cried all night that night.
◆
After I dropped Kaoru off, I was relaxing at home when I received a phone call from Kaoru.
[Hello, Kaito kun.]
[What’s wrong Kaoru?]
[Is this a good time?]
[It’s fine. I didn’t do anything.]
[I called you because I thought I should tell you that Shin, in fact, he really saw me being driven home by Kaito kun earlier.]
[Is that true? What did Yamazaki say?]
[IYeah. I was just talking to him a little bit because he talked to me just now.]
Well, to be honest, I thought it would happen eventually since it’s close to his house.
She could make up as many excuses as she wanted, especially since I was dropping her off at cram school, but Kaoru said that if he found out, it would be fine and she would make it clear that they were dating.
[I see…..and you were okay with that?]
[Yeah. Shin didn’t seem to know that it was Kaito kun, but I made it clear that we were dating. So maybe it will spread at school, and the fact that it’s with Kaito kun won’t spread, but the fact that I have a boyfriend…..well, that’s fine.”
It’s unlikely that it will spread at school…
I don’t think Yamazaki will spread the word at all.
It’s not because of any kindness or anything, but because Yamazaki is somewhat jealous of the fact that he and Kaoru are childhood friends and it’s a privilege that only he has.
I can’t imagine someone like that going around saying that she had a boyfriend other than him.
Well, and I’ve been saying for a while that I don’t mind being found out, and it’s not like I want to hide it.
Things are very different now than they were a month ago.
[I guess so. And how was Yamazaki?]
[If it’s Shin……I’m not sure. I don’t know. He seemed very surprised, though. And I think he might have been angry.]
Angry……well, I can imagine somehow.
I think he was probably saying something about how they’ve known each other since childhood.
Yamazaki had this idea in his head that he was fine with Kaoru because they had known each other since childhood.
But honestly, I can’t imagine Yamazaki doing anything even if he got angry.
I don’t think he has the guts to do something because of his personality.
That’s how I’m predicting he won’t do anything……or rather, he can’t do anything.
It’s not the same as the game, so I can’t say for sure, but if it’s the bad end route, Yamazaki will just regret it and can’t do anything.
There were some games that developed desperation in these situations, but Yamazaki, the main character in this game, was like that and felt like he couldn’t do anything.
Well, of course, if he were to try to harm Kaoru, I would do my best to deal with him.
[I see. I think I’m okay for now, but if you think Yamazaki is gonna do something, definitely talk to me.]
[All right !]
Then we talked for a bit and ended the call.
“So he finally found out……well, I guess it’s all right.”
It is hard to imagine Yamazaki turning the tables on Kaoru, and Yamazaki probably knows that if he did something, it would normally get him in trouble.
If he were to harm her, the police would naturally take action and she would be expelled from school.
Besides, Kaoru doesn’t have much time to be alone.
There are naturally many people at school, and after school, Kaoru is with me, Kirara, and Hitomi, so it’s safe to say that she doesn’t have much time to be alone.
Even taking that into consideration.
“Even so, I have to be careful.”
I’m going to tell Kaoru to be careful, but I can’t have her living in a state of constant vigilance, so I’ll have to be more conscious of that.
“Oh ! For now, we’ll just have to wait and see what Yamazaki does tomorrow.”
If I see Yamazaki tomorrow, I’ll know how he is.
If he appears dangerous, I’ll have to be a little more careful. If he seems like he’s just regretting it like in the game, there’s no need to worry. He’s just a high school student with a broken heart.
