April is over and it’s Golden Week.
“Don’t run away just because you got dumped !
Study, join a club, do whatever you have to do to get back in that bitch’s good graces !”
My sister kicked me in the butt, and I dragged my heavy feet to school every day.
But I felt like a completely worthless person.
I would get down and my sister would encourage me to look forward, but then I would get down again and she would encourage me again.
It seems that Saki started dating Matsukubo Takuma the day after the entrance ceremony,
They were always flirting with each other.
I was bitter about my classmates, who were always making a fuss about how well they matched each other and were the best couple.
It was hard for me to watch them flirt, so I just stayed in my shell, and my chance to make friends had long passed…
I’m a loner.
At least, if Saki wasn’t in the same class with me,
I wouldn’t have been so depressed all the time.
It really wasn’t supposed to be like this…
If I meet my friends from junior high school, they would 100% ask me about my relationship with Saki,
I don’t even want to see them…
★★★★★★★★★★★
It’s been about a month since I was dumped, and I’m about halfway recovered,
I’d be lounging around the house, reading books, and playing video games every day,
“This is depressing ! Get out !”
My sister kicked me in the butt again.
The kick on the day I was dumped felt like a sisterly love between sister and brother,
But this one is like she’s on her time of the month.
It can’t be helped, I should go out somewhere.
By myself, of course.
Saki and I often went on dates around Sannomiya, Motomachi, and Harborland,
So let’s go to a shopping mall in the suburbs, where there’s a good chance we won’t see each other.
I chill out on spring and summer clothes, even though I have no intention of buying anything,
Finally, I wandered around the bookstore.
The illustration was the one I liked the best.
I was dumped by my childhood friend, so I went through a long dark tunnel and found a harem heaven.
I bought the one I liked best. Self checkout is the best, isn’t it?
As I was walking towards the bicycle storage area, feeling excited,
I heard a man’s angry voice echoing from the other side.
I walked up to him to see what was going on,
A tall old man was yelling at a girl with glasses who looked like she was in high school.
“What’s the matter with you, you bumped into me and never apologized?
This is rude !
Young people nowadays…”
The girl froze, her eyes wide open at the unreasonable abuse.
The girl seemed to have no companion,
There are also families walking and elderly people sitting nearby.
No one tried to stop the old man from screaming.
Well, I wouldn’t want to have anything to do with that old man !
But…!
“Please wait.”
I stepped in between the old man and the girl, bailing out the angry old man.
“This girl is sorry. Well, excuse me.”
That’s all I said, grabbing the confused girl’s hand,
I tried to stay away from the old man.
“Hey, wait !”
“Ow !”
The old man hit me in the leg with his cane,
It hurt a lot, but I didn’t care and ran away.
“Wait ! You little brats !”
The old man seemed to be shouting more angrily on the spot and waving his cane even more,
The screams of the customers echoed behind.
I walked away quickly and turned the corner three times,
After walking quickly away and turning the corner three times, I stopped when I could no longer hear the noise.
“Oh my God.”
I waved my face from side to side in a cool manner and heard a small voice.
“Um….your hand….”
I was still holding her hand ! The hand of a girl I didn’t know !
I hurriedly pulled my hand away and bowed my head.
“I’m sorry !”
“No, no, no.
Thank you very much for helping me !
I was so startled when I was suddenly roused that I couldn’t move…”
The girl said so, and we lifted our heads and looked at each other.
The girl was about the same age as me, maybe 10 cm shorter,
and dressed elegantly, which suited her very well.
She had nice long glossy black hair, and her eyes behind her glasses were shining intelligently.
Hm?
We both nodded our heads a little.
I think I’ve seen her somewhere before…
But I couldn’t remember, so I smiled affectionately, and the girl smiled affectionately too.
Thank God, she didn’t seem to know me either.
I’m sure I’m just a stranger to her !
“Um. You were hit, are you all right?”
The girl looked at my leg, which had been beaten with a cane, with concern.
“Oh, I’m fine, I’m fine.
Yeah, okay then.”
I raised my hand and was about to turn away when she stopped me.
“Wait. I wanted to thank you.”
“No, it was nothing.”
“But…”
“Yeah, that’s all you need to know. Bye.”
I said goodbye again, and this time she gave me a beautiful smile.
“Thank you !”
After being rejected by Saki, I thought I was a completely worthless person.
My sister encouraged me many times that I’m a decent person.
And when she thanked me for the help she had just received, I felt proud for the first time in a long time,
I finally remembered that I can be useful to someone too.
