I ran into Kamiyama Fumika at a bookstore.
“Why are you here? I thought the four of you were going to play together today.”
“Ah, I took a sick day.”
“Huh?”
“Because I’m in the way. That’s what I meant.”
I give a thumbs up and show it to Kamiyama. I’m sure Kamiyama will praise me for my thoughtfulness.
“You really are an asshole, aren’t you?”
“Eh?”
“I knew you were stupid, but I didn’t think you were this stupid.”
Huh? Are you mad at me, Kamiyama?
“Don’t you feel bad for the girls who were looking forward to your arrival?”
“Haa? They’re not waiting for me.
All they need is Taiyou”
“Of course not, really……”
“I’m sorry, but it’s not possible. It’s always been that way. Even if I go, I’ll just end up following along from behind by myself.”
“You really are an idiot!”
Kamiyama became even angrier.
“Just because it’s been that way in the past doesn’t mean it’s the same now!”
“No, it does. You want to be with Taiyou, don’t you?”
“I do though……”
“I knew it. It doesn’t …… make sense for me to be there at all, and I don’t want to go either.”
I said and Kamiyama bit her lip and looked at me.
Hmm, this seems to have pissed her off quite a bit. However, I am convinced that what I am doing is a good thing. Satouchi-san and Mizusaki-san must be happy in their hearts.
Well, Taiyou might be angry.
“Anyway, don’t tell anyone that you met with me.”
“There is no way I can tell them.”
“If so, that’s fine. See you later.”
I left the angry Kamiyama alone and walked out of the store.

Monday lunch break. Shimomura Taiyo, Mizusaki Yayoi, and Satouchi Yoko were talking about Saturday’s outing.
“I was so impressed with Mizusaki’s singing. I can’t believe she sang that well.”
“No, it wasn’t.”
“No, it was amazing. I wish Kouki could have heard it.”
“Oh, that’s too bad.”
I reply appropriately.
“Nagatsuki, are you feeling all right?”
Mizusaki is worried about me.
“I’m fine now. No need to worry.”
“I’m glad to hear that.”
“Mou, Nagatsuki-kun didn’t show up, so Yayoi was very worried. ……”
“Yoko!”
“That’s right, Mizusaki-san, she’s been worrying about you for a long time.”
Taiyo also says.
“Well, …… sorry about that.”
You’re still very kind, Mizusaki-san. I should have said that I had something urgent to do, not that I wasn’t feeling well.
“Don’t worry about it. This guy was at the bookstore.”
Suddenly, Kamiyama said.
“””Eh?”””
The three of them were surprised. Kamiyama, you said it, didn’t you?
“I-I’m not. I was feeling better in the afternoon, so I was just out for a bit. ……”
“I see. ……”
“Yeah. So I’m fine.”
“Hee, Nagatsuki wasn’t meeting with the two of you, he was meeting with Kamiyama-san.”
Ibata said something strange.
“You, what are you talking about? It was just a coincidence.”
“Yes, it was a coincidence. Really, it was just a coincidence!”
Kamiyama said impatiently to the girls and to the sun.
“Kamiyama, you’re the one who told on me. You deserved it.”
“What? I’m on the side of the girl in love.”
“Haa?”
What is she talking about?
“After all, Kouki and Kamiyama-san get along well.”
““Why is that?””
I and Kamiyama both refuted Taiyo’s words.

I mean, it’s somewhat plausible that the MC would have this kind of mindset after being constantly overshadowed and used by other people in order to get close to Taiyo. But just because it makes sense doesn’t mean the MC is any less of a pussy ass bitch. If he decides that he’s gonna lose before the game starts, then of course he’s gonna lose, and it’ll stay that way until he decides to do something about it. Nobody else can do it for him. So I can’t really feel any kind of sympathy for him.
Once again, Yayoi explicitly stated that of the three boys she hangs out with, she’d aim for Taiyo. The MC is NOT a simp for taking her at her word, nor should he be expected seduce her for no apparent reason.
