I was about to call out to Sumeragi, but she said, “I have to hurry home!!” she seemed to be in a hurry and left.
Well, even if I called out to her now, I didn’t know what to say, so it actually helped, but I felt so sorry for myself for thinking that, and I was walking home alone.
“Oh, you have a melancholy back today as well.”
Then, as usual, Shigenawa appeared from behind me.
“You really are always there, aren’t you?”
“Hmmm……”
Suddenly, Shigenawa started sniffing something.
What? Is she imitating a dog?
“I can smell the same kind of smell coming from senpai. Did you eavesdrop today?”
“!!”
I’m scared. How could she tell that from the smell?
After that, we stopped again at the park we had used just yesterday, thinking it would be a good idea not to stand around and talk. We both naturally went to the swings, sat down, and paddled gently, making a jiggle sound.
“So? What did you do this time?”
“Don’t try to make the assumption that I did it.”
“Last time, you broke into the women’s restroom.”
:…..”
“And this time you broke into the women’s locker room?”
“No.”
“Well, you can talk to me about it. I am still an honor student in my school. I might be able to offer some good wisdom to Tazuna-senpai.”
“Hnn…”
“What’s with that quizzical look? Are you doubting that I am an honor student?”
“I am. That’s what I want to say. It’s true that you were brought up well. I think you can study.”
“I’m in first place in my grade, so what?”
As she said that, Shigenawa suddenly put on her black-rimmed glasses
“Oh, you look so smart.”
“You should try it on, Tazuna senpai.”
“Me?”
Before I could answer, Shigenawa put on a pair of glasses.
“Oh, they look good on you.”
“Do I?”
“Yes, they do. You look smarter than usual.”
“Oh, yeah. …… hmm? You mean, I usually look dumb?”
“Oops, I’m getting off track here. Now, put all that nonsense to the side and talk about what’s bothering you.”
“It’s not something to discuss with a younger girl. …… Well, listen to me.”
“Yes.”
“This is about a friend of a friend.”
“Oh, you mean about Tazuna senpai?”
“….”
Anyway, I told her that two girls I’m close with apparently like a friend of a friend of mine.
“But one of them must have another guy she likes, and the other one suddenly says she doesn’t like him. ……”
I’ve always thought that Himekane liked Sumeragi, and I didn’t know if Sumeragi liked me or not, so it’s all a mess now.
When I picked this up and told it to Shigenawa, she nodded and said, “I see”
“I’m sure it’s a complicated story, but in the end, what do you want to do, Tazuna-senpai?”
“Eh? Me?”
I–
“I want them to make up.”
“I see. Then why don’t you put this and that about love, who you like, who you don’t like, and all that stuff to the side for once? Like the senpai that seems so wrong-headed.”
“I see. …… what was the last thing you said?”
But Shigenawa is right. It doesn’t matter about Himekane actually liking me instead of Sumeragi, or whether Sumeragi likes me or not.
My goal is clear. I want to make things right between the Sumeragi, Himekane, and Shigenawa.
Let’s take a look at the situation once again.
Neither Himekane nor Shigenawa were originally angry at Sumeragi’s concealment of her gender.
According to Shigenawa, Sumeragi apparently likes me. So Shigenawa is just being reserved with us. In other words, there is no reason for any awkwardness between her and Shigenawa.
The problem is Himekane and Sumeragi?
Yesterday, it didn’t seem like they had reconciled, did it?
“…… Okay. Let’s talk to Sumeragi tomorrow first.”
“I see. Is one of them Sumeragi senpai?”
“Ah”
Oh, shit!
I forgot Shigenawa was there and ended up talking to myself!
“Hmmm…… but who on earth is the other one who actually likes Tazuna-senpai when you thought she liked Sumeragi-senpai? If it’s that person,…… the timeline is not right,…… hmm.”
Shigenawa is pondering – but whatever.
That night, I decided to invite Sumeragi to the window and listen to her story.
But….
“S-sorry! I have to do my homework! I’ll see you tomorrow!”
She turned me down. I was off to a bad start. Well, this happens sometimes. ……
“Huh? Was I supposed to do homework today?”
I thought so and sent a message to Saejima to ask him, but the answer was, “No~”
“…… Sumeragi?”
