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
When was it? Matsuyuki san was once branded as an evil woman..
To be frank, at the time, I didn’t care.
It was a time when things had become awkward between me and Mitsuki, and I couldn’t think about any kind of romance. Even if Matsuyuki san had tried to flirt with me, I would have felt nothing.
Well, I just didn’t think she was the type of person to do something like that.
“I’m sorry. I did it……”
The park at night that I had designated as our meeting place.
Matsuyuki san, dressed in the now familiar all-black outfit, said this as she held out both hands.
“Matsuyuki Ayano, you are under arrest for forgetting to pay for the coffee at the coffee shop. Let’s see, what else do you want me to say, the date and time?”
While handcuffing Matsuyuki san with air cuffs, I tried to imitate what I saw in the crime drama.
I told her that she had forgotten to pay for the coffee as the reason for calling Matsuyuki san. It was her duty to pay for the coffee.
After negotiations, we agreed that Matsuyuki san would buy me a loaf of bread for lunch next time.
“Hiro kun, I’m really sorry. I’ll offer you a piece of potato chip as interest.”
“That’s cheap interest.”
I knew from Matsuyuki sab’s outfit that she had decided today was the day to eat some snacks.
Sitting on the bench, Matsuyuki san immediately spread out the snacks she had bought at the convenience store.
This is her monthly pastime.
Her parents must be very strict if she is not allowed to eat snacks at home. Perhaps they are stoic about health and beauty.
The nights are getting chilly.
Even in such a situation, Matsuyuki san was happily eating snacks.
“So, what kind of guy confessed to Matsuyuki san?”
“Ugh !?”
I cut in on her happily enjoying the savouriness of the potato chips and chocolate.
I also alternately put potato chips and chocolates in my mouth while watching Matsuyuki san who was choked up. It’s pretty good.
“You told me you got a confession recently. I’ve been wondering about that since you split up with us after that.”
“N-no…I can just say no. It’s nothing for you to worry about, Hiro kun.”
“I’m just asking out of curiosity. What to do about the other person is something that should be decided by you, Matsuyuki san.”
I’m not in a position to interfere with who Matsuyuki san goes out with.
So, this is my interest as a friend.
In other words…..this is so, I wanted to have a love conversation.
“What kind of person, if you don’t mind me saying……”
“Do I know him? Could it be a third year…..or even a first year boy?”
Matsuyuki san pulled her hat down low to hide her eyes.
The only light is from the street lamps in the park, so it looks as if her entire face is covered in shadows.
I looked into her face from below.
“Wha !? Wait, H-Hiro kun?”
“Don’t tell me he’s holding a grudge against you for refusing his confession?”
“Hup.”
Matsuyuki gasped.
“H-how did you come up with that idea?”
“Matsuyuki san once said. A prideful guy might be shocked by being rejected and hold a grudge.”
I thought this was advice to Kido san, but I guess that was Matsuyuki san’s own experience.
Matsuyuki Ayano is an evil woman.
While there are such rumors, she is also a regular at the top of the rankings of beautiful girls that boys secretly make.
And yet, there are rumors that she deceives guys, or on the contrary, some say it is because the other boy is a bad guy.
Matsuyuki san is supposed to be a popular person, but her reputation is blurred.
“…It’s okay. I’m good at controlling people.”
“That’s a strange thing to say. It sounds as if you can control people as you wish.”
Matsuyuki san has a certain power of observation.
That is incomparable to me. When I made a plan to dispel the bad rumors about Kido san, it was largely due to her power.
“That’s what they said. Bad girls are good at rolling men around in the palm of their hands.”
“Wow, that doesn’t suit you.”
Really, it doesn’t suit Matsuyuki san.
She looks forward to eating snacks once a month.
She was heartbroken over the bad rumors about Kido san.
She is the one who worried about me like this……
“I can’t believe that Matsuyuki san is a bad woman. Even if she was, she must have a reason, right?”
“Oh no, there’s no good reason…….”
Matsuyuki san’s voice gets quieter.
She looks away and won’t make eye contact with me.
I have no interest in what Matsuyuki san does. ….Or so I thought.
A friend should be on your side no matter what.
Believing the niceties I’d picked up in manga, as a friendless person, I was unashamedly proud of the fact that I didn’t understand.
“I wanna know the reason.”
But now it is different.
I’ve been friends with Matsuyuki san for a little while now, and I know it’s only a little bit of time compared to other people……
“I wanna know about you. If you have a problem, I wanna help you. I don’t want you to hesitate.”
I realized that it is because we are friends that I want to understand that person.
I want you to rely on me. I, who had always been hiding behind Mitsuki, began to think like that.
Perhaps this feeling that overflows from the bottom of my heart is called…..friendship.
“Hiro kun….. are you perhaps hitting on me?”
“Eh? Was there something I said that made you believe that?”
“……”
What’s with that jittery look !? If you have something to say, say it with your mouth !
“Fufu.”
Matsuyuki san let out a small gush.
Then she laughed happily. I wasn’t trying to make you laugh……why?
After a short laugh, Matsuyuki san opened her mouth with a nervous look on her face.
“Hiro kun…..um, please don’t hate me……even if you hear what I have to say.”
“I will never hate you, don’t worry.”
“Promised me.”
Matsuyuki san begins to talk.
That was how she came to be rumored to be an evil woman.
