I’m Tired of My Childhood Friend Playing Pranks on Me, so I Want to Date a Female Friend Who Loves Me Sincerely
“Y-You were almost attacked?!”
Right after I told her what happened yesterday, she let out a loud cry of surprise.
Well, it’s no wonder. I was almost attacked.
I would also be surprised to hear that Nagiri san had encountered such a situation.
“But it’s okay, nothing happened.”
“No, it’s a big deal. Why are you acting so calm? You were almost attacked, right?”
“Nothing happened. I think Rika was just panicking at the time. She left looking like she was feeling bad about it.”
“Feeling bad…”
Nagiri san doesn’t look convinced, but I think she’ll be okay.
Besides, if the same situation happens again, I can see a future where Hanako will somehow take care of it.
“Ayato is really… a bit of a dreamer, isn’t he?”
“Is that a compliment?”
“Yes, I mean it in a positive way.”
“Heee.”
Being positive doesn’t mean I am being mocked. Being positive is a good thing.
“Well, let’s talk about that later. I’ve gathered some information about the people who were involved with that woman.”
According to Nagiri-san, those slick guys are apparently up to no good.
They’ve been banned from convenience stores for shoplifting, and they extort money from people they deem inferior to themselves.
They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but it seems like most people do act according to their appearance.
Of course, there are good people out there, but there are so many bad people that it creates unnecessary prejudice against the good ones.
It’s a negative spiral.
“And about that woman, I found evidence of her cheating.”
“Cheating?”
Rika cheating… I don’t think she’s the type to do that.
“Could it be a mistake?”
“It’s not a mistake. There was an eyewitness account of her coming out of a love hotel district with a sleazy guy.”
“…”
“Why are you so shocked? You’ve already broken up with her, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
It’s Rika, so I think she was probably deceived and ended up in that situation.
As her childhood friend, I know she’s an honest person who took what those guys said at face value…
“That woman is bad, but I also think she’s a victim, so I’m thinking of getting those guys to leave this school for now.”
“Leave? You mean expel them?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“How?”
Nagiri’s plan is as follows.
① Nagiri acts as bait to lure the slick guys into an alley.
② The moment they try to act, Nagiri’s bodyguards hiding in the back capture them.
③ I happen to pass by and take photos as evidence.
④ Submit them to the school and expel them (along with other evidence photos Nagiri has).
⑤ END
“Isn’t it a bit too convenient that I just happen to be passing by?”
“It’s okay. Once we get rid of them, we’ll be free.”
I thought her plan was pretty ruthless, but I was touched that she was willing to go to such lengths for me and Rika.
