In the end, two girls, Satouchi and Mizusaki, praised Taiyo, and I shoved them to remember me. The same pattern as in junior high school was repeated here. Well, it always happens, doesn’t it?
“Come to think of it, is this your first meeting with these two girls, Ibata?”
I asked Ibata, who remained silent.
“No, I know them well. We went to the same junior high school.”
“Yes.”
Mizusaki replied. I didn’t know that.
“They were very popular in junior high school. I was used to seeing them by now, so I didn’t really care about them in high school.”
“How awful”
Mizusaki said.
“Well, especially Satouchi.”
“Well”
Ibata’s words were answered coldly by Satouchi. There seems to be something going on between these two.
“What is it? Were you two dating?”
I said lightly on purpose.
“No. I’m not dating.”
“What do you mean, “I’m not”?”
“You can say whatever you want. I mean I was going out with Ibata-kun’s friend.”
Satouchi said.
“I didn’t know that.”
“So I’ve hung out with Ibata-kun, too.”
“Double date right”
Ibata said.
“But we’ve already broken up”
“Well, yeah. Almost the same time we graduated. It all happened so fast.”
“That’s …… sad.”
I’ve never been in a relationship, so I don’t know, but I know it’s sad.
“It’s okay. I’m going to get a girlfriend soon”
I’m going to get a girlfriend soon,” Ibata said.
“Heee”
“I’m telling you, I’m not coming after you two. So don’t worry and come eat here.”
Ibata said to Mizusaki and Satouchi.
“What? I don’t want to go out with you either.”
Satouchi said.
“Well, well. Let’s get along.”
Taiyo said.
“We’re all here because of a chance encounter. Let’s start eating together tomorrow. How about it?”
Taiyo said. Haa…… I told you not to get involved with these two. He must be so occupied with protecting these two people.
“Taiyo, Ibata aside, you’re bothering Mizusaki-san and Satouchi-san, aren’t you?”
“Why do you say that aside from me? Well, I’m going to eat here tomorrow, too,”
Ibata said.
After Satouchi-san and Mizusaki-san whispered to each other, Satouchi-san said
“We’ll be happy to come over too, if you don’t mind.”
“Oh, well, then, it’s nice to meet you.”
So this is what happens in the end. But can’t we turn them away now? Let’s just keep it to lunch.

Ostensibly, the MC does all this to help his friend, but it seems like he’s way more concerned about himself. Maybe if he resents his friend getting so much attention so much, he should just not hang out with him and go be miserable by himself instead.
