[……I still like Fujisaki kun after all. So…..this half-assed situation is not good enough. I should have done this sooner. Goodbye, Takuma…….]
Misaka san makes a phone call. The other party picked up after a while, and Misaka san told him with a sad face.
“I’m sorry for calling so suddenly. Are you still in club activities? Ah, did you finish early today? I see. Then, can I have a moment? ….Yeah. Thanks. I just wanted to tell you one thing. It’s really sudden, but…..we’re breaking up. Thank you for everything.”
I can faintly hear the confusion on the other end of the phone. Takuma must be quite confused after being told goodbye so abruptly. If I were in Takuma’s position, I wouldn’t be able to accept such a sudden declaration.
Although it was a short period of time, I had talked with Misaka san about the process of breaking up with Takuma. She had planned to proceed a little more slowly, but then she decided that she could no longer afford to take his time.
If you’re planning to confess to me today, it’s only natural, right?
“…..Yeah. Yeah. I know Takuma won’t be easily convinced. But I’m serious. I’m sorry. I don’t know why I suddenly decided to do that…….”
I don’t know how the story goes, but Misaka san looks at me.
“I don’t hate Takuma. It’s just, I…..like someone else. So, let’s break up.”
Takuma is still complaining about something. but.
“I’m sorry. I’ll talk to you later. Yeah. Let’s meet and talk properly. Tomorrow……hmm? I’m sorry, I can’t now…… Tonight? Tonight……yeah. Okay. I’ll see you at my place at 8:00. Yeah. See you.”
Misaka san hangs up the phone. Then, she exhaled deeply.
“……I’ve broken up with him. Well, he’s still not satisfied with it. But I’ve already told him how I feel.
I had planned to do this sooner or later, but when it comes down to it, it’s complicated. I feel relieved, but I also feel very sad…… I feel bad for Takuma, too…… I don’t know why……I broke up with him, but I feel like crying…….”
[…I know it’s troubling to hear something like this. I know you don’t understand it. I’m sure you think I’m a messed up, selfish person. Even though I had a boyfriend, I fell in love with his friend and even before breaking up with him, I started doing things that looked like dates…..
He thinks I’m a cheater and that I have no sincerity towards the person I’m dating.
I know I’m doing this in a hurry because there is someone else who likes Fujisaki kun, but I really feel terrible.
When I calmed down, I realized I have no face to show to Takuma and Fujisaki kun either….
I don’t know if I ever had a chance in the first place. He’d be happier with Saki or Misaki than with a self-loving cheater who betrays her boyfriend…… The relationship may have many obstacles, but it’s much better than a dirty woman like me……]
“You know.”
“…..Hm?”
I called out to Misaka san, interrupting her thoughts as she began to feel depressed. My encouragement may have been meaningless, but I couldn’t just sit there and watch.
“……I don’t know much about actual love, and I’m sure there are things about Misakasan’s feelings that I don’t understand.
However,…… I think we all have a selfish side and sometimes we hurt someone because of it. We may make a great mistake and feel self-loathing.
But I don’t think it’s necessary to live a life without any kind of blemish or failure. You can experience all kinds of things and change from there. I think that after you change in this way, you will become a truly valuable person.
……I may not be able to say that so well, and I’m sorry if I’m misunderstand in any way.”
Misaka san suddenly smiles softly. The corners of her lips widened just a little, but that alone seemed to make a huge difference in Misaka san’s atmosphere.
“……..Fujisaki kun sure has a big heart. Well, I probably shouldn’t feel like I’m forgiven for this, but it cheered me up a bit. Thank you.”
[I like this side of him after al…… Takuma is quite a clean freak, so if he saw me now, he’d probably get angry. In this sense, I may not be a good match for Takuma…]
“I didn’t do much. Besides, it’s time to go back. Everyone is waiting.”
“Yeah. You’re right. ……Ah, Fujisaki kun, you’re phone? I hear something vibrating.”
“Ah, it’s true.”
When I checked my phone, I found an incoming call from Takuma. It seems he called me in a hurry because he was suddenly dumped by Misaka san.
“…..I should probably answer.”
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault…….”
“It happens. Can you go back first? I’ll come back when I’m done with the call.”
“Okay. I’ll see you later.”
[I’d like to stay and listen to what he has to say, but I’m afraid I’ll get in the way. I’m going to leave now. I’m really sorry for making you take on such a troublesome role……]
Misaka san left and I took a deep breath. Although I was reluctant, I started talking to Takuma.
