It was lunchtime and I headed for the rooftop.
When I opened the door, Haruka was there.
“So, what’s going on?”
“What did you talk to mother about yesterday?”
“Nothing much, just some small talk.”
“That’s a lie. Well, if you can’t tell me, that’s okay.”
Since I had gone to the trouble of coming to the rooftop, I had expected her to be more persistent in her questions.
“Eh? Is it okay?
“That’s fine. Isn’t it bad to force to ask even if you don’t want to say it?”
“Then why did you call me all the way to the rooftop?”
“Yeah, it’s just”
“Hmm? What is it?”
Haruka was a little hesitant to say something.
“Thank you.”
I didn’t understand the meaning of that word.
“Eh? What do you mean? I didn’t do anything, did I?”
“No, mom, she always tries to take care of everything on her own, but she never tells me anything. But I knew she was doing it so I wouldn’t have to worry about her, so I didn’t ask.”
“What does this have to do with me?”
“Sano may not know it himself, but when she came home yesterday after dropping Sano off, mom’s face was clearly soft, as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders.”
Haruka said this, but it didn’t solve the fundamental problem, but it made me happy to hear her say it.
“My mother usually smiles all the time, but since I’ve been with her since birth, I know that she must be carrying something inside her smile, but I didn’t feel it yesterday.”
“Hmm~, I don’t know, but I’m glad I could help.”
“So thank you. I’m sorry I took up so much of your time.”
“Oh, don’t worry about it.
Ah, by the way, did you talk to Kaori san?”
Kaori-san said that, but I don’t think Haruka would approve of me visiting her house after all.
“Well, the only thing I’ve heard from mother is that you’re coming home again next week.”
“Yeah, is everything okay from Nanase’s point of view?”
“There is no reason for me to be against it since mother is so excited about it! And you’re not a bad guy at all.”
“I see. Well, that’s good. Thanks.”
“I don’t really need you to thank me, but thank you.”
After saying that, she left from the rooftop.
“Haha, Haruka also trusts me, even if it’s just a little. Well, I guess it’s all thanks to Kaori-san.”
Haruka is usually a typical kind of gal, but to people she trusts (of the opposite gender, she becomes a bit tsundere.
“Well, it was really only a little.”
With that said, I ate lunch.
After school, when club activities were over and I was about to leave after doing my business in the restroom.
“Suguru is really lucky, isn’t he?~”
“Right~, It’s not normal that he’s promised to marry three such cute childhood friends.”
I could hear them talking. They were probably Sato and Sakaguchi, who were in the same class as Suguru and on the same basketball team.
Why are they stopping and talking in front of the toilet? I can’t go out.
“Well~, we’ve been together for a long time, so it’s like we have a shared destiny, and our parents also interact with each other~”
“So, how are things really going, Suguru?”
“What do you mean?”
“No, no, you promised to marry all three of them, right? But it’s not normal that you haven’t done anything, is it?”
“Well~, you’re just too lazy not to do anything.”
“…Haa~ you guys~, there’s no way I’m that kind of a screw-up.”
“Oh? So what’s the end of the story?”
“It was obvious that he would have gone all the way to the end, after all, he would have finished that in middle school.”
Don’t have that conversation at school, you don’t know who’s listening like I do.
I don’t know if that’s true or not, but even if it were true, you shouldn’t say it, it’s not hard to imagine it would cause trouble for the three of them
“Phew~ As expected of Suguru, how nice~ I’ve never dated a girl before.”
“Don’t worry about Sato, so how did it go when you do it!”
“Yeah! I’m really curious about that.”
“Oh, it was great. You guys should try it. You’ll see.”
“How often do you do it?”
“Well, we have club activities, so we do it about twice a week each.”
“Yeah, that’s a lot”
“Haha, that’s all right, let’s get out of here.”
With that, they left.
I walked out of the bathroom and sighed heavily.
“”Haa~~~~””
I could hear other people sighing as well, so I looked to the side and saw Haruka.
“Um, Sano? Did you hear what they just said?”
“Oh, yeah, I heard.”
Haruka sighed deeply again when I said that.
“Would you please listen to me for a moment?”
“Oh, okay.”
“We’ll talk about it on the way home, then we’ll go.”
So I said, and we were going home together.
“I was just telling you about …….”
“Yeah”
“Don’t believe everything, because it’s not true.”
“Hnnt? What do you mean, everything?”
“Haaa? Don’t make me say it.”
“Umm, what you’re saying is you didn’t slept together?”
“Yes, of course, and of course we didn’t promise to get married. ……, and of course neither did the other two.”
She said this with a somewhat vacant expression on her face.
“Hmm~, anyway, why is Kamiya bragging about such a lie?”
“Eh, do you believe me?”
She said this in surprise as she opened her eyes
“Yeah, of course, I haven’t talked to Nanase that much, but I can clearly see that you’re not the kind of person who would lie.”
I looked at Haruka and she immediately turned her eyes away from me.
It was dark so I couldn’t see what she looked like.
“Y-yes, thank you.”
“Yeah”
“Actually, I’ve been thinking something strange for a while now, when the boys who are close to Suguru are looking at us with grins on their faces…I never thought he’d even say things I don’t understand…”
“Well~, maybe I should tell you?”
“Huh? Is there something?”
Honestly, I was hesitant because I know that Haruka likes Kamiya, but after thinking about it for a while, I decided that I shouldn’t hide it.
“Hnn~~ Actually….”
I told her that since the beginning of the school year, only in front of his friends, he had been making lovey-dovey appeals, saying that he was going to marry three of his childhood friends and that they were in love with each other.
Haruka was a little perplexed, but said
“I-I see….”
After a short silence
“Sano, I need to think about something, so I’m going home alone from here.”
“Oh, okay, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Yeah!”

LMAO so basically Suguru got nothing burger and is just assuming on his own.
Thanks!
Its worse than that, because that would be just him being delusional, but hes actively lying about them to other people and they’re not little lies, its pretty damn serious
