The Day After My Girlfriend Cheated on Me, My Female Friend Suddenly Started Seducing Me. ~The Protagonist’s Struggle Begins With a Revenge Drama~
“Rei kun, let’s go home.”
I came to the shoe box and it was unexpectedly Ruri san who called out to me.
Ruri san disappears after school and is usually found at my house. It was unusual for her to be at the school at this time of the day.
Ruri san puts away her shoes, changes into her outdoor shoes, and runs over to stand next to me.
“Ruri san, you’re still here today, aren’t you?
“Yes. I was gonna go ahead of you today, too, but things have changed a little.”
“Things?”
“Yes. I saw my beloved Rei kun returning home alone.”
Ruri san’s eyes widened and she appeared to be shy on purpose. It’s a very typical reason for her.
Kaori was away today helping out with the student council, so I thought I would be going home alone, but it looks like I will be accompanied by a fun person.
In this way, when a man is next to Ruri san, there is often a slight commotion. After all, it’s that Ruri san.
“Hey, that’s Hiori. He’s walking with Ruri san again.”
“Gununu…who did you get permission to be next to Ruri san…! Don’t get carried away just because you’re seated next to each other…”
Envy. Jealousy. Grudge. Obsession. The gazes of mixed emotions came from all over the place. Most of them are probably from Ruri san’s fans. She’s a popular girl.
“Ah, Rei kun is getting a lot of jealous looks as I walk next to him. It feels really good.”
“I don’t think so… most of them are Ruri san’s fans.”
“Oh, really? It’s okay. I have to flaunt the fact that I am next to Rei kun.”
There is something about this person’s sensitivity that I cannot fathom. Would it be fun to play with me? I’m the one who suffers the damage
“Hey, Rei kun, let’s hold hands.”
“….You’ll do it even if I say no, won’t you?”
“You know me well. You’re so smart.”
Ruri’s small hand becomes entwined with the one I held out. Even if we say we’re holding hands, it’s what we call a lovers’ knot. One finger at a time, intertwined like cogs.
I didn’t resist, but I couldn’t shake the embarrassment. You had a girlfriend, but you’re not used to holding hands? That’s right. I’m not very good at this kind of thing. I’m an ordinary person.
“Fufu, your ears look delicious.”
“Stop it… you’re teasing me?”
“I’m not playing around. I wanna interact with the person I like. I’m just acting on the pure heart of a maiden in love…I told you, right? I’m serious.”
Seeing the serious profile she showed me momentarily reminded me of the incident the other night. I remember the other night when I slept with Ruri san. I heard her say ‘I’m serious’ at that time as well. After hearing that declaration of intention, the whole sequence of events up until now became somehow embarrassing. This guy can stay sane very well.
“Hehe, if you’re that embarrassed, I’ll be embarrassed too. You’re cute.”
“I can’t help it…you’re the most beautiful girl in the school…”
“….Rei kun, you can’t do that to anyone but me.”
“Eh, w-what?”
“Just listen. That’s prohibited.”
Ruri san puts her index finger to my mouth. It seems that there is no point in mentioning it any further. I decided to swallow any further words because of the mysterious power that was different from when she was angry or jealous.
“…..By the way, Rei kun. You’ve been spending a lot of time with that vulgar man and Kenzaki kun lately. I wonder what you’re up to?”
Ruri san asks me with a wandering look. I knew that the way she was misleading me was a little too forceful. I was a little too aggressive with that deceptive approach. I still tried to play it safe.
“It’s nothing serious. It’s just about the ball game.”
“What are you gonna do if you win the ball game?”
“….If you know, just say so.”
“Well, I tried a little. I was just testing you a little bit to see how much you would be willing to hide from me. You’re very honest.”
She knows everything. I feel like I will never be able to compete with this person.
“…But I don’t get it. I don’t know how to understand the love life of that guy. Of all people, the other party is Hiiragi san? ….Are you okay with that?”
“…I’m sorry to say this, but Kaori will definitely refuse the confession. The current Kaori won’t accept anyone’s confession. If Shinmon gets dumped, he’ll definitely run away.”
“…Rei kun, love is love because it is irregular. It’s a psychological battle that relies on unpredictable developments. There’s no such thing as absolute love. What if Hiiragi san gives the OK to the confession? Don’t you think anything of it?”
It was a possibility I had never thought of before. Love is uncertain. It is an obvious fact, but I had forgotten about it.
I was about to reply, but an indescribable emotion welled up within me. It’s a complex feeling that’s hard to express, and I can’t even describe it as anxiety or anger.
“It’ll be too late if anything happens. Do the best you can now.”
It seems that I have been harboring complicated feelings for Kaori for some time. Not quite love, but a special feeling. If I had been a little more foolish, I might have mistaken it for love.
That’s what made me wonder.
“…..Are you sure you want me to say this? I might go to another woman, y’know>”
“I’m fine. I have confidence in myself.”
Confidence? Ruri nodded deeply.
“You will come back to me in the end. I’m sure of it.”
Ruri san said firmly. Her smile was light, as usual, and her confidence was evident in her mouth.
This person is truly unreadable. I wonder what on earth she is thinking. At first glance, it seems that she is sending salt to the enemy, but it seems that she has already taken this action into consideration.
“I wonder. If you say that, I might want to leave.”
“Fufu, if that happens, I’ll just chase after you. I like to chase after love. What about you, Rei kun?
“Well…if anything, I prefer being chased.”
“What a coincidence. We are perfect for each other. We are destined for each other.”
I wonder how much of this is premeditated. I’m amazed at Hikarigahara.
“Let’s not talk about dark topics. Hey, what do you want for dinner tonight?”
“I’ll cook for you once in a while. …Can we go by the supermarket?”
At that time, I still didn’t know. The result that this emotion leads to. The gaze that pierces through the crowd even more sharply.
“Mmmm…”
