The Day After My Girlfriend Cheated on Me, My Female Friend Suddenly Started Seducing Me. ~The Protagonist’s Struggle Begins With a Revenge Drama~
“Do you want to make the person you love look back at you?”
The dubious words echoed under the reddish sky.
In front of a vending machine in the corridor between the gymnasium and the school building. I asked Nemugaki. In her left hand was a carton of strawberry milk. It was the one she had requested if I would consult with her.
“Ah …..Not me, but my friend.”
For some reason, Nemugaki looked unhappy when she heard my words. I’m sure she’s not very happy to hear me say something like that after what I went through. Nemugaki may look like this, but she is kind at heart. She must be worried about me.
“…Senpai, of course I can’t help you with that either. Even though you just had a heartbreak the other day, you’re falling in love with someone again. Are you a love monkey? Are you in heat? …I’m tired of seeing Senpai like that.”
“N-no, it’s not like that ! My friend is really in trouble ! It wasn’t me ! I mean, there’s no way I’m gonna fall in love with someone else again after what happened !”
In response to my desperate excuse, Nemugaki looked at me suspiciously and asked my expression. Then, perhaps deciding that there was no lie in my excuse, she reluctantly began to speak.
“….If there is someone you like, you should try to show her that you like her casually, talk to her aggressively, and build mutual trust with her, It depends on what you can do.”
“What about playing an active role in an event?”
“I think that’s a good idea. If you are interested in sports, it would be a good idea, especially if you are interested in sports. But it’s not easy, is he good at sports?”
“Well, I don’t know…”
“He is your friend, isn’t he? Is it possible that he just thinks he is? Wow, misunderstood guy〜”
The oddly irritating way she said it was still the same. However, her advice was spot on.
I certainly didn’t know much about Shinmon, now that I thought about it. He must have good athletic skills since he came up with the idea on his own. I’ll check it out later…
“…And also, don’t take favors from others.”
“What’s that? Anyone would have noticed that.”
“Who are you to talk like that ! You fool ! You simpleton !”
Nemugaki slapped me on the back. I had no idea why she was hitting me.
“What the hell. Did I do something?”
“I’m telling you ! If you have time to be talking about other people’s problems, reevaluate your own behavior !”
Nemugkai kicks me in the back. I guess one of her charms is that she always acts childish.
I’m not stupid enough to just apologize. I didn’t understand why she was angry, so I was cornered against the wall, unable to do anything.
“…Senpai is too insensitive. If you want, I can teach you about love from scratch.”
“But you’ve never had a boyfriend.”
“….I’m saving my first time for you.”
My heart skipped a beat when she said that. Nemugaki, who had been attacking me a moment ago, was slightly stained red in the cheeks. The way her childish face flushed was really cute, yet somehow mature.
Combined with her slightly smaller stature, the always impudent Nemugaki now looked like a cute creature.
“Wha, eh….?”
“I-I’m not serious ! I’m just kidding, you misunderstood man ! It’s because you’re fooled by this kind of acting that you fall for such a prickly woman !”
I want to punch myself for being deceived even for a moment. After being kicked out, I leaned against the wall with a sigh. I felt an indescribable sense of exhaustion. Love is hard work just to talk about it.
“….By the way, who is your friend targeting? I may know what some people like, so…”
“Kaori.”
There was no voice. Only the expression on her face. It was an expression that was too out of the ordinary for her.
“….You seriously said that? Of all people, you’d go for that person?”
“It’s not unusual, is it? There are 50,000 boys who are in love with her.”
“That’s the problem. She’s turned down every single confession that has come her way. No matter how good-looking he is on the outside or on the inside. He definitely has someone she likes, doesn’t she?”
“Oh, you’re right. That’s a good point.”
“…..Senpai, you know?”
“Yes, just in case. It’s been rumored.”
Nemugaki turned her quizzical gaze on me again. This time, her gaze was filled with a somewhat disappointed feeling.
“…….I guess it’s okay to be insensitive after all.”
“….? What do you mean?”
“There’s no particular meaning to it. I’d like you to remain insensitive like this forever. …..But”
Nemugaki stepped forward and said.
“When I’m ready, you’ll answer me properly, won’t you?”
The whispered blow left a long aftertaste inside me. The gap from her usual cheeky appearance was quite powerful. The cute and charming appearance was so appealing that I mistakenly thought it was her true intention without any pretense.
“O-oh…”
“….I don’t know if you know what I mean or not…Ah, yes. Senpai, if you’re so close to Hiiragi senpai, why don’t you ask her directly what type she likes?”
“I see. I understand. Thank you.”
I quickly left the place before my face turned red.
“…Even his stupid side hasn’t changed. Since middle school.”
