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
“Pyaa──!?!?!?”
The one who was most surprised by Matsuyuki san’s sudden appearance was Kido san.
She jumped up from her seated position, leaking out a strange voice. Isn’t she too surprised?
”Fufufufufu♪ I finally found you, Hiro kun. Now, please give up and get on the rope.”
“Wait, did I do something wrong?”
“You did !”
Apparently, I did. If Matsuyuki san told me so forcefully, I probably did.
Matsuyuki san approaches with slow steps. Her long black hair was blowing in the wind and her white skin was shining in the sunlight.
Her presence is sparkling. She is indeed the most beautiful girl in school.
She is a promising new star who is ranked second in the ranking of the most beautiful girls. Kido san was turning her face in the other direction while shivering.
What’s wrong? She’s got her big body all shriveled up, like she’s afraid of Matsuyuki san.
It’s different from the way she behaved this morning when she came to my rescue.
“ You said you wanted to have lunch with me, but you left the classroom so soon, Hiro kun. It took me a lot of effort to get here.”
“Eh, did we promise to eat lunch together?”
“Heh…… It seems that Hiro kun was such an idiot that he even forgot what happened just yesterday.”
“Ah.”
Come to think of it, that’s why I ended up buying something at a coffee shop yesterday…
But we haven’t even made a proper promise. I don’t want you to think that I’ve broken the promise just because of some positive vibes.
“I…..was looking forward to having lunch with my friend for the first time….”
Yeah. I’m totally to blame for this, yeah.
“I’m sorry, Matsuyuki san. I’ll be careful next time……”
“Yes. Please be careful.”
Matsuyuki san’s sad expression changed to a smile.
This is a magical smile. She has such destructive power that most boys might feel strange just by seeing her smile.
“Then…..this is Kido Tsumugi san, a first-year student, right? I met you this morning, but what is your relationship with Hiro- un?”
“How do you know my full name even though she is a junior?”
“Yes. I remember the names and faces of all the students at this school.”
That’s amazing ! That’s great, but……kind of scary.
“……”
Kido san remained trembling and refused to answer anything.
Maybe the aura of Matsuyuki san has gotten to her and she can’t speak. It’s hard for those of us in the shadows to get a glimpse of this brilliance.
“Erm, what about the relationship between me and Kido san? Is that important right now?”
It’s the role of seniors to help at times like this. I was the one who was saved this morning.
“I would say it’s important…… If Hiro kun and Tsumugi san are dating, I will be an intruder. I’m thinking of leaving at that time.”
“I’m not in a relationship with her or anything like that !”
I was afraid that a terrible misunderstanding might arise, so I raised my voice, which is unusual for me.
It would be a disaster if rumors spread that Kido san was dating someone like me. Even a bad rumor would be a terrible reputational damage to her if such a misunderstanding were to be compounded.
“I-is that so?”
“Y-yes……. Me and Kido san are…..”
…What kind of relationship?
We are senior and junior…but then it would be the same for Matsuyuki san.
However, we had only met to be called close friends. Maybe I’m the only one who feels this sense of fellowship….
“……”
Before I knew it, Kido san’s face, which had been looking away, was turned toward me.
Her expression was blank, but she was staring at me.
Her eyes seemed to be trying to appeal to me for something. I clenched my fists.
“I’m a….friend of Kido san.”
I said it. I had said it.
I had declared myself a friend even though I didn’t even know if we were friends yet.
If Kido san didn’t have such feelings for me, it would be very annoying for her…… What should I do….I’ve done something terrible, haven’t I? Was this premature?
“Yeah. Me and Yazawa senpai are……friends !”
That was when my heart was almost filled with regret.
Kido san happily said this while bringing her face closer to me.
I see……. I wasn’t the only one who thought we had a relationship.
I’m glad, and a sense of relief spread through me all at once. The regret that had been trying to fill my chest cleared away.
“!”
“Hm?”
I heard a sound like a foot slipping, and looked to see Matsuyuki san backing away and trembling.
“What’s wrong?”
“N-no…..it’s kinda precious……”
“What !?”
I thought I told you that Kido san and I are just friends, but is it my imagination that I feel like another misunderstanding has been created?
“Yazawa senpai.”
Kido san tugs at the hem of my uniform.
I turn to face her and she puts her mouth to my ear and mumbles something difficult to hear.
“Um, is that person…a police officer?”
[ [Eh?] ]
Kido- an’s trembling words made both Matsuyuki san and I turn our heads at the same time.
“Because just now….she said that you’re under arrest.”
Kido san~ Did you believe that joke !?
I turn my staring eyes to Matsuyuk san. I think the person who made the joke should be the one to tell the truth.
“Fufufu, if I’ve been found out, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Oi, what’s that look?
Matsuyuki san pulled out a black notebook from her breast pocket. Of course, as students, we carry our school notebooks.
“I’m an investigator with the Metropolitan Police Department ! I’m a police officer in pursuit of a criminal hiding out in this school !”
Matsuyuki san held out her student handbook and bam ! And proudly told a lie. Playing police is only allowed in junior high school…..
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do anything wrong……”
But the word “police” was too strong for her. Before looking at the student handbook, she apologized with her face down.
I understand the feeling of being scared senselessly of the police. When I’m in front of a police officer, I feel like I’m going to be scolded just for riding a bicycle.
“Matsuyuki san?”
“A-ahaha……. It seems I’ve gone too far with my bad joke……”
It seems like Matsuyuki san felt bad. It’s okay to show your bad side, but you have to consider the time, the situation, and the person.
Matsuyuki san apologized flatly and finally cleared up Kido san’s misunderstanding. I guess it’s not very good to joke around before getting to know each other. I learned a lot from watching other people’s mistakes.
