The Day After My Girlfriend Cheated on Me, My Female Friend Suddenly Started Seducing Me. ~The Protagonist’s Struggle Begins With a Revenge Drama~
“You don’t look happy.”
It was recess right after the first period. A dignified and clear voice from next to me grazed my ears. When I turned my head toward the voice, I saw golden binoculars catching me.
Sitting next to me was a girl named Hikarigahara Ruri. She is the school’s Madonna with beautiful long hair that has a slight bluish tinge.
She is slender and reigns at the top of this school with her overwhelming beauty. Her beauty once captivated everyone, and they flapped their wings to get a chance, but she shot them down at every opportunity. No one has ever been able to match her.
I have been sitting next to her for some reason. People like me are often turned away at the door, but thankfully, I am able to communicate with her. I shudder to think what would have happened if I had been turned away with those eyes.
I don’t feel like talking much even though it’s Ruri san on the other end, so I keep my eyes down as I speak.
“Ah…..no, I’m not feeling very energetic today…”
“That’s unusual.You usually make up for your lack of energy. Is something wrong?”
“The right to remain silent…”
“Do you think you have one?”
It seemed that I had to tell Ruri san what had happened yesterday. I told her about yesterday’s events, which she continued to act in an overbearing manner. She was listening to my story and didn’t seem surprised, nor did she have a complex expression on her face.
“…..Heh. I knew it.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I thought that woman was suspicious. I mean, she’s clearly suspicious, isn’t she? She’s not behaving well, she wears necklaces and other things in her uniform, and she fails every test.”
If you ask me, Ririko is not a person of good behavior. I thought she was a bit delinquent, but from Ruri san’s point of view, she could see this development happening. Was that why she always looked so displeased when she talked about her?
“And she was cheating on her boyfriend with that guy…she has no taste. If she was just a money-grabber, you would’ve been better off without her.”
“You’re as sharp as ever….”
“I told you so. You should just leave it to me. If you leave it to me, I’ll take all of the Hikarugahara family’s assets, right?”
“I’m not fit to date you, Ruri san. …..Don’t be joking, why don’t you get a boyfriend?”
“I’m fine. I already have someone I like.”
This is Ruri san’s usual phrase when she is trying to get rid of a guy. She will say she has someone she likes and drive him away without saying whether she likes him or not. I’m sure this is just words, and she probably doesn’t like anyone. Ruri san has a big family, so she is probably going to marry the son of some president or actor. If there is someone she likes, it must be someone from that world. If he does exist, I would like to see him at first glance.
“…By the way, Rei kun, what are you gonna do now?”
“What do you mean…?”
“I’m asking you what you are gonna do about that woman. She cheated on you, right?I’m asking you what you’re going to do about it. So you’re not thinking of getting revenge?”
Ruri san’s serious question made me think a little. I’ve been feeling depressed since yesterday and haven’t thought about revenge at all. I may have been partly to blame for the affair. But why not just assume it was the other person’s fault and take revenge? I stare at the ceiling for a moment.
“….So?”
“….No, I’ve never really thought about it. But I feel like it’s wrong to get back at someone just because they cheated on me. I’m partly to blame for that, too…”
Hearing my words, Ruri san let out a loud sigh.
“Do you have any idea what kind of situation you’re in right now? After being used by her for a long time, she has been spending the night with another man, you know? And then you got hurt. Do you know who suffered more, Rei kun or that woman?”
Ruri san’s words, which could be taken as a reprimand, made me feel shocked. What should I do if I remain passive at a time like this?
I was used by her, and I was thrown away.
But even though I knew this, I still felt lost. My timid heart tightened its grip on my legs. What was I going to do? It’s just going to be a hassle.
“…I can’t stand it.”
Ruri san suddenly said. It was with that one word that my mind went blank.
Ding dong.
Before I could reply, the bell ended the silence between Ruri san and me. The door rattles open and the teacher in charge of the next class enters the classroom.
“….It’s time to go. Let’s talk later.”
“Uh…yes.”
I replied in a random way, but I couldn’t focus on the class because of Ruri san’s words.
