“We’re happy, aren’t we?”
“Yeah, I think so too.”
The second day of the festival.
Saki was very lively. It seems like it was a lie that she was defeated by Kamisato Rika in an argument and was embarrassed.
I never thought Nagai kun would have such a cute childhood friend.
I thought he was a very pitiful person and had no allies. He probably doesn’t have as many friends as I do. This is speculation, but it must be very close to the truth.
Kamisato is probably a strong ally of Nagai kun. However, she is also the worst enemy. Kamisato had a “greatness” that could be recognized at a glance. It is as if she had a barrier that kept others away.
His love for Nagai kun overflowed from every word she said and every attitude she showed. Even though it was the same distorted love, it was the opposite of Saki’s.
If it were me, I would not want to be Kamisato’s boyfriend. She would probably devote herself to me a lot, but she would eventually become a burden. If she had a wide range of other friendships, it would feel like a relative burden.
In this respect, Nagai kun is perfect for her. Heavy love should not be a burden. After many years of association, heavy love is a normal part of life. Even if she says or does something strange, there is a soil in which he can easily accept it.
–Don’t say Masatoshi’s name with your filthy slutty mouth.
With rather strong words, she cut Saki off.
The look on Saki’s face at that moment, though I don’t know if it was appropriate for a boyfriend, made me laugh.
In those short words, Kamisato had packed exactly what she “understood”.
After I laughed, I was afraid of Kamisato’s vindictiveness. I could feel the sweat trickling down my back.
Kamisato had been thoroughly investigating Saki ever since before and after she dumped Nagai kun. My intuition was screaming at me.
It is a well-known fact that Saki has been dating several boys.
And on top of that, the fact that she has been involved with a variety of boys is hidden. She is very careful to keep her mouth shut.
My mouth is never the only thing that touches Saki’s lips. She uses them to please many men.
It was as if she knew that much.
How did she know? How did she find out? What is it that makes Kamisato tick……
Every time I think about it, I become more and more curious about what’s inside Kamisato’s head. It is the scary thing that I can’t wait to see.
“What’s wrong, Hikaru?”
My foggy consciousness returns.
The live part was long over.
I was dancing hand in hand with Saki.
“No, I think I’m a little tired.”
“You need to rest well, don’t you? The main part of the festival is just about to begin, you know?”
“What I did…it’s not right. It’s not right to make Saki worry.”
I hold her hand tightly.
“Geez, Hikaru.”
Somehow I was able to deceive her. There was no way I could have told her that I was preoccupied with Kamisato.
In Saki’s eyes, there is nothing else but me. There are many men who are close to her. I seem to be the best among them.
Of course, there is no such a gentle world where Saki is the best for me, too. I’m not cheating on her, but I know many decent girls.
I readily agreed to the promise of dancing. Why not stop seeing her if it’s not serious?
It’s irrational. It’s not like me. If I stay with her, my reputation will only continue to decline. It’s only a matter of time before it hits bottom.
“I love you.”
“Yeah, me too.”
I can say these words out of my heart because I feel sorry for Saki. If that happens, our breakup will be in the not-too-distant future.
I didn’t want to throw myself into it. I didn’t want to be asked why I was betraying her. I would prefer to disappear naturally, or to be forced to leave.
Even if we stay silent, the “monster” Kamisato will move on. It’s up to others, but it’s the best I can hope for. Poison is poison, so let them destroy each other. It’s called modern-day poisoning.
Saki is at the peak of her life right now.
I might be right, and I might be wrong.
Unfortunately, it’s only going to go downhill after that. That’s just my guess.
“Come closer?”
“Yeah.”
It wasn’t close enough, but I want to get close enough to feel Saki’s body warmth.
Her body is warm, but Saki’s heart is cold. She may think she is boiling.
No, but it’s not.
It is always absolute zero, so even a little warmth can be misunderstood. People mistakenly think that frostbite is warm.
“I love you, Hikaru. We’ll be together forever, right?”
The dance was nearing its end. The other people were locked in their own worlds. Saki was no different. In her case, it looked as if she was completely immersed in a bath of sugar candy and didn’t want to get out.
“Of course…..”
Until I have to leave you, I said to myself. Saki couldn’t hear me. Even if she did, she would never believe it.
After the entire schedule of the party was over, Saki wanted to go to a dark place.
She begged me to come over and kiss her.
“That’s okay, isn’t it? Just for today.”
I was the only one who Saki allowed to kiss her. I didn’t want to be in the same league as the other men who flocked to Saki.
“It’s okay. But please leave it to me for a while.”
I only kissed her lightly on the cheek.
That was enough to make her ecstatic. I wanted something deeper, but I dodged it.
“Hikaru you meany.”
“Really?”
I’m the gentle one.
I’m the one who doesn’t take advantage of your weakness, and I’m the one who stays on the sidelines.
