I Liked Her First, but My Brain Was Broken, Then for Some Reason, I Became Friends With Beautiful Girls, So I’m Done My With Childhood Friends
During my lunch break, I received several messages from Matsuyuki san.
Since I don’t usually have a chance to use messaging apps, I guess I didn’t notice the notifications. I basically only use my phone to watch the news, play games, or watch videos.
“It’s sad….to be ignored.”
“I’m so sorry.”
Oyoyoyo, I apologize to Matsuyuki, who was fake crying. This is totally my fault.
It is more sincere to show your apology by your actions than by your words…….
After school. I bought Matsuyuki san a drink at a coffee shop.
“What should I order♪”
Matsuyuki san looks at the menu list while humming a tune.
“……”
I was overwhelmed by the stylish atmosphere of the coffee shop, and I was at a loss.
Well, this is my first time entering such a fashionable store…..most of the restaurants I’ve been to with Mitsuki are family restaurants. Other than that, I once went to a Yakiniku restaurant with my family when I was little.
Matsuyuki san is a beautiful woman, so she fits right in at a fashionable restaurant like this, but someone like me feels very out of place.
I mean, what should I order at a coffee shop?
Coffee, tea ……no, Matsuyuki san is ready to eat something, so should I eat something too?
“Are you ready to order?”
A waitress in a stylish uniform came to take my order. I wish they would have let me order on the touch panel like at my favorite family restaurant.
I wasn’t ready yet. What should I do?
“I’ll have a cup of milk tea and these fluffy pancakes, please. What about you, Hiro kun?”
“Erm….I’ll have the same thing……”
“Sure thing.”
Phew, I made it through for now.
I was relieved to see the back of the waitress as she left.
“Fufu, are you copying me?”
“……”
I take back what I said before. It was not yet time for me to be relieved.
Matsuyuki san peeked at my face from below. Stop it, that angle makes me feel like my heart is being gouged out by her gaze. I’m a man who can’t even choose what he wants to eat !
“And anyway, why didn’t you notice my message at lunch?”
“Sorry, I wasn’t looking at my phone.”
“Are you ever alone and don’t look at your phone at all?”
Oi, don’t assume that I’m always alone.
Well, knowing me in the classroom, I guess she can’t imagine the sight of me sharing lunch with friends.
In fact, if it weren’t for Mitsuki, I’d be alone until now. Yesterday and today were exceptions.
Can I say that Kido san is an acquaintance? It’s not like we signed a friendship contract like Matsuyuki san did, so acquaintance would be more appropriate.
“Hmm, I guess you were with someone else for lunch.”
“Hm, I didn’t say anything, did I?”
I’m scared. How do you know?
Or did the words leak out unconsciously, just because I didn’t notice?
“It shows on Hiro kun’s face. You’ll understand if you look.”
“I-I see…..”
Reading facial expressions, who can really do that? I’m sure she’s a strong poker player.
“So, who were you with?”
“Now you asked…… I feel like a boyfriend who is suspected of cheating on his girlfriend.”
I just said it out of reflex, but maybe that was creepy. It’s no wonder she scorned me.
“Even though I…Hiro kun is a terrible boy !”
“Hey, stop it. If a stranger sees us, they’ll misunderstand !”
Oyoyoyo, Matsuyuki performing a fake cry. If they were classmates, they would know it was a joke because it’s an impossible combination, but if a stranger saw them, they might misunderstand !
“I thought you were free for lunch. If you have an appointment with a friend, you can give that priority.”
“No, it’s not a friend….. Or rather, Matsuyuki san, don’t you eat with your friends? You have a lot of classmates…”
“Didn’t I tell you that I don’t have any friends in class?”
“Yes, but….”
I thought you were in the center of the group in the classroom.
“Oh, I’m trying to gather information in the classroom, so. That’s why I’m just listening to what everyone has to say.”
“Gathering information?”
“Yeah. Because information about school and relationships is contained in the chit-chat.There are more people who like to talk than you might think.”
You feel a little closer to them because you have a similar way of thinking about information. The way you collect information is the exact opposite, though.
But still, is it just collecting information, or is that not the same as being friends? That sounds kind of dry.
“Oh, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that I didn’t have any friends among my classmates, but I have a close friend in other classes.”
“Oh, yeah. I thought so too.”
Oh, that was close……. For a moment I thought she was a fellow loner, and I was about to speak out my fellowship.
Matsuyuki san even clearly says “close friend”. In front of these people, I would probably put on a different face than the smile I put on in the classroom.
I’m also aware that my facial expression and attitude change depending on the people I’m talking to. In the classroom, of course, I think it is a little different with Matsuyuki san and Kido san.
If Mitsuki was my opponent…I felt like I could bring out my best side.
“Hm, it’s unusual for Hiro to be in a place like this.”
“Eh.”
I immediately recognized the owner of the voice, and my mind went blank.
“What is it? Who are you with? Could it be your girlfriend?”
Even without turning my eyes, I can clearly imagine Mitsuki looking like a mischievous child.
I can feel the presence of another person, different from Mitsuki. I’m sure she came here for an after-school date.
Oh no…….. I don’t want to see her at such a close distance……
“Eh…..Matsuyuki san?”
“Yes, hello Mitsuki san.”
That’s when Matsuyuki san greeted her brightly.
“Whoa !?”
I was being pulled by Mitsuki by the arm. I was forced to stand up, and Mitsuki stepped forward as if to protect me.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s someone else…I won’t allow you to mess with Hiro !”
For the first time in a long time, I saw Mistuki get angry.
I understand because we are childhood friends. This is real anger.
Even in front of the openly hostile Mitsuki, Matsuyuki san kept a relaxed smile on her face. However, I can feel the cool air flowing through me.
……Um, why is the atmosphere like a disaster?
All I could do was watch the two girls confront each other.
Maigetsu
Don’t tell me that Mitsuki believes those Rumors?
or is she perhaps jealous?
Don’t tell me did the childhood friend hear about and believe those rumors or is jealous that MC is on a date with a girl?
