I studied like a fool for two weeks.
Ummm, still corrected. I studied like a fool.
If I could get a good grade as a result, I would change the class from “like an idiot” to “seriously.”
I had that much of a positive response.
–I think.
I am convinced that it is definitely a good performance.
All that remained was to win the battle with Tsukane.
On the last day of the exam period, as soon as I finished all the subjects–.
I was excited because I was sure I had done well.
It was the first time since junior high school that I could find no mistakes at all.
The class was naturally full of noise.
“Tomose, how did you do? I think I’m going to win this game.”
“Just keep telling me. You never know until the very end.”
With the approaching Tsukane, I don’t show confidence.
This is because I know that the more bravado I have,……, the more I’m going to be agitated when I lose later on.
But I don’t care what happens after the game.
My instinct tells me not to just underestimate Tsukane.
We have always competed above expectations.
— damn it.
I wonder if these days will be the last.
Tsukane will be a distant presence from now on.
Are these fun days really over?
Why do I feel like I’m exaggerating?
Maybe it’s because I’ve been soaked in study for two weeks.
Maybe it’s a reaction to all the time I’ve spent looking away.
All along, the hole in my heart has been stagnant, neither widening nor closing.
she always feigned confidence
In the worst case, I would say that I got half of the marks, but in fact I got 90% of the marks.
This time, she is full of confidence.
her words and actions made me think she was certain she could win.
I feel like I’m going to break out in a cold sweat.
“Tsukane, are you competing with Tomose in the exam? What are you betting on?”
A voice called out to me from behind while we were competing with each other.
It was Shuuta, who had fled to the restroom as soon as the exam was over.
Tsukane frowned and muttered a few words, perhaps unhappy that he had ruined the atmosphere.
“Secret. Think with your brain.”
“Okay, let me mix it in too.”
“Haa? persistent! You have no delicacy. Isn’t that why you were rejected?”
I don’t know what she’s getting so worked up about.
I don’t want the mood to get nasty in front of me.
My heart is in shreds.
I don’t want the group to be on edge too.
Where’s my other best friend to mediate in such a situation?
Tsukane, who’s even more upset than usual, is also a problem, but his absence might be more of a problem.
“…… is that too much of a hit? My bad.”
But soon Tsukane broke down.
He showed a stinky, shabby face.
“By the way, tell me how you know I was dumped?”
“Shuuta kun, it seems you were spotted. The rumor is already spreading among the girls.”
Tsukane shows the screen of her smartphone.
It appears to be a girl from class who was connected to her on SNS.
There was a photo attached and a tweet.
“Hey, give me a break. …….”
Apparently, someone had seen his confession.
The face in the photo was hidden by a stamp.
But the “T-san ” of the tweet from the tips of bluish hair that stick out and are not hidden is surely Tanba san-san, and the “same classmate K san” is only two choices of me or Shuta.
The rest of the classmates in the “K” row are only girls.
I’m casually involved, too.
My name was also mentioned in the replies.
……Who are these girls, seriously?
What a surprise, I saw that Tsukane herself sent a reply to that tweet.
–You too, Brutus.
The contents explained that this was Shuta.
However, I certainly wouldn’t want this to be seen by Shuta.
I said enough is enough and covered the screen with the palm of my hand.
I had been with Tsukane on the day of the tweet.
I guess I was able to figure it out by process of elimination.
The moment he saw it, Shuta held his head together.
“I don’t think they heard the conversation. That’s good.”
“It’s not good. If I really went out with Tanba-san, how do you think she would look at me?”
[Unable to give up and strongly and passionately confessing again, I fell in love with him.]
I don’t think ……it’s going to be a beautiful story.
I can’t narrow it down to just one ending for this guy…
“Blackmailed, huh?”
“Right? I’m definitely going to be exposed. That’s scary. ……”
You’re not that mentally weak, are you?
I mean, you are already exposed.
Well, you certainly don’t want to be exposed to more fire sparks.
You sowed your own seeds anyway.
I don’t feel sorry for you in the slightest.
But I give words of consolation to Shuuta, who is feeling a bit overwhelmed.
“Don’t worry, Shuta won’t be in first place. He even got a kanji question wrong in Japanese.”
“Oh, are you serious?”
“I’m serious. You mistook ‘務める’ for ‘勤める’.”
I wrote each on the back of the question paper and showed them to him.
I noticed it right away when I saw the answer sheet handed out from behind my seat.
He had stumbled in areas that should have been conquered in junior high school.
There must have been a lot of mistakes scattered about, many of which he was not even aware of.
“Damn it!”
“Don’t worry.”
“In the first place, you can’t balance it out. You’ve been dumped once, and you haven’t given up?”
Oou, Tsukane is alive and well.
I’m …… a little bit scared.
But Shuuta, who clenched his fists tightly, retorted as if such abuse had fallen on deaf ears.
“I don’t think you know, Tsukane, but I guess I have such an opportunity. Do you want to know?”
Shuuta provoked her as if to say, “Please ask me,” as if to reopen the question and make it sound like a waste of time.
Tsukane, on the other hand, did not change color and started fiddling with her phone.
“I’m not interested. Can I tell on SNS that the boy in this picture is Shuta-kun? I don’t want Tomose to get involved.”
“Please stop, I’ll do anything”
You’re good at stirring things up when you’ve already said it.
From what you just said, it seems you guessed that it hasn’t been determined yet.
I felt chilled to my guts, how black-hearted she is.
You’re giving hope, even though it’s already too late.
But I haven’t been able to figure out anything other than Tsukane’s tweets.
That seems to have had the opposite effect.
Apparently, Tsukane is even angrier than usual.
Why is that?
Tsukane, on the contrary to my unresolvable emotional swamp, switches to a calm face.
“I guess I won without betting again. ……”
“Tsukane, don’t torture Shuuta. It’s pitiful, so let’s make it part of the fight.”
At the moment, I could see Shuuta’s face turn blue.
You wanted it yourself earlier, but you’re so weak.
It was a disaster to deal with a bundle of sound that was in good shape.
I had to give him a chance to regain his confidence from the mercy.
“Listen to me, Shuuta. If you win this battle, you can make Tsukane scream. By the way, I also scream.”
“Wait, I’ve never beaten Tsukane in a competition.”
“Why are you losing confidence? It’s easier than winning first place.”
“That’s for sure.”
In an instant, his mind was reopened. …… simple?
Whether or not they will continue to talk to you depends on your negotiation skills.
In my mind, I can’t think of losing to Shuta.
It’s …… as expected.
“Well, what the hell. If I lose, I’ll give you the right to say anything you want.”
I’ll give you a tasty carrot called compromise.
If Shuta has regained his confidence, he will fall for it.
The possibility of that jumped with Tsukane’s next words.
“Ummm, I’m fine with the same as Tomose. I’ll sue you if you sexually harass me.”
“That ain’t nothing. …… I mean, wouldn’t it be easier to tell me who you like?”
If we don’t limit it, it will be dangerous if something happens.
If you are too confident, but too relaxed, you will worry.
Still, Tsukane answered dryly
“Because he seems pretty talkative, doesn’t he?”
“Haha, he does.”
“You both think you’ve won, but what happens if I lose?”
“Let’s try once with a Pashiri ticket.”
“That’s fine with me.”
“Well, if that’s the way it’s going to be, I’ll take the bet. I’ll give you a big surprise.”
We didn’t stop smiling at the stubborn Shuuta until the end.
It seemed we had caught a fish.
“Yeah, I’m glad to hear you’re satisfied.”
Tsukane’s confession seems to be impossible to prevent.
So, I’ll keep my mouth shut until I know what she plans to confess.
I have no right to say anything.
—Yeah, Tsukane will be away from me in a little while.
…I wonder why I can’t get Tsukane out of my mind.
I don’t think I’ll be able to congratulate her honestly.
I felt so dirty.
