Episode 31  – Morning after rain 2

“It was me, Reo, and one girl, and we were very close.”

“Eh?”

“One day, Reo and the other girl got into a big fight. At the time, I watched the two childhood friends fight, thinking they would make up in time. But they became awkward and could not make up. The other childhood friend moved away for her parents’ reasons. Because I’m a guy, I tend to be on Reo’s. …… I never saw her again.”

“Are you trying to tell me that we’re going to end up like that?”

“Your childhood friend and my childhood friend are very similar. That’s why I don’t want you to look like that. If you’re thinking of Asahina-san, can you talk to her right now?”

“Why are you trying to get involved with us so much, Kogure-kun?….Perhaps you love Arisa?”
“I don’t love her.”

“That’s a lie. If you don’t like her, you won’t go that far.”

“What I like is the relationship between Otsuki-san and Asahina-san. I like to see them as childhood friends and good friends.”

“….. You didn’t fall in love with her after you went to hang out with Arisa?”

“I’ve already decided I’m not going to fall in love with a very pretty girl anymore. This wording is to remind me of my past mistakes.”

“What’s that …… about?”

You fawn over them, fall in love with them, do your best for them, and then they confront you with the fact that it’s annoying.

So I’ve already …… built a wall against the opposite sex with this tone of voice.

As long as I don’t fall in love, I can endure rejection from any woman.

It’s a trauma from middle school, don’t come out. It doesn’t matter now. I don’t want anything for myself.

There is no need to explore my problems.

I took a breath and adjusted my tone.

“It’s okay if you don’t understand. Anyway, please go. I’m sure Asahina-san is waiting for you too, Otsuki-san.”

“Yeah. ……”

Otsuki-san walked past me and walked towards the school gate. But suddenly she stopped.

“You know, I’m really grateful for the opportunity ……. I almost lost something important.”

Otsuki-san turned around and smiled, albeit awkwardly. I’m sure this will be fine.

“Next time you see me, please show me how you two get along.”

“Yes, thank you, But you know what?”

“Hee?”

“I’m more favored by Arisa than you are, and even if Kogure-kun likes Arisa, I won’t give it to you so easily.”

“You are surprisingly competitive. ……”

“Yes, that’s right. I hate to lose. I don’t want to lose to someone with a similar personality.”

Otsuki san ran away. I think Otsuki san ran away with a refreshing look on her face.

Both Asahina san and Otsuki san have come to see the true nature of the situation.

The next time I meet Otsuki-san, I might be able to have a more open relationship with her.

Now let’s go home. I don’t have enough sleep, but I don’t want to skip my club activities.

I ride my bicycle home.

I went into the house and petted Hiyori, who was hugging me, and went back to my room.

Soon after, I hear the window start to rattle.

Was he waiting for me?

I lightly hold my head with my hand and open the window. Sure enough, my best friend comes out.

“What’s wrong, Reo?”

“What’s the matter with you?”

Reo’s expression had become quite grim. He grabbed me by both shoulders and shook me around.

“I was scared to death yesterday because of the thunder, why didn’t you come! I’m lonely!” ”

“Oh, yeah.”

That’s right. My best friend, Hirasawa Reo, has always had a weakness for thunder. Ever since we were kids, I used to comfort him when he got scared on thunderstorm days.

“I was so scared of thunder, I cried!

“So, what did you do last night?”

“Hiyori gave me a good pat.”

“That’s a reward!”

I said we look alike, but I’m sure Reo and I won’t get into fights like Asahina-san and Otsuki-san.

After all, no matter where we go, we’re both men and idiots. Men are simple. That’s also the good part.

Phew…… I wonder if those two have made up.
