How I, a Hated Person, Ended Up Staying With Three Beautiful Sisters
The next day. Lunch break.
Learning from yesterday’s lesson, I stayed on the rooftop today.
The sun was a little strong, but the breeze made it comfortable. Above all, I was grateful for this space where I didn’t have to see anyone.
My lunch was two sandwich rolls I bought at the school store.
I took them out of the paper bag and bit into them. Today’s flavors were tuna mayo and meat patty.
They were pretty good. I brought my English vocabulary book, so I studied to kill time.
That was the plan.
But then he suddenly appeared.
“You…you’re the executioner, aren’t you?”
With those words, the rooftop door opened.
It was the frivolous man from yesterday—Katsuyama senpai.
He was still wearing his sloppy uniform, and the necklace around his neck stood out even more. He seemed to have come alone.
To have to face him again so soon after yesterday—what a terrible two days.
Plus, I had a bad feeling about this.
Trusting my instincts, I decided to secretly record the conversation on my smartphone.
“I’ve got some clout in my third year, yet here you are fiddling with your phone. You’ve got some nerve.”
I was in the middle of chewing my bread, so I didn’t respond, just kept my eyes on him. It seemed like he hadn’t noticed I’d started recording.
“…..”
“Oh, scary, scary. Don’t glare at me like that. Just as the rumors say. With that sharp, knife-like gaze, yet you’re a genius with exceptional athletic ability, so no one dares to say anything, I heard.”
He spoke in a joking tone, but his eyes weren’t smiling.
Katsuyama senpai leaned against the wall on the rooftop, positioning himself to look down on me.
After swallowing, I asked.
“…So, what is it? Is there something you want to ask me?”
“Well, to put it bluntly…what are you to Akane san?”
“Huh?”
“You know what I mean. You saw my confession yesterday, right? And then you were talking with Akane san afterward. Why is the solitary executioner interacting with Akane san? Are you really trying to get your hands on Akane san like the rumors say? You’re really a pervert with a taste for humiliation, aren’t you?”
This is annoying. Also, I’m not solitary, I’m just lonely. I don’t have a taste for humiliation.
“”Akane senpai and I are complete strangers. We spoke for the first time yesterday at school.”
We spoke for the first time at school. That’s not a lie.
“Hmm…but you were calling each other by your first names. There was a strangely familiar atmosphere…something about you bothers me. Could it be that you have a special relationship with Akane san?”
This is annoying. This is the second time.
It’s true that we have this weird relationship where I’m staying with her, but it’d be more trouble to spill the beans.
“Nothing’s going on.”
When I shook my head, Katsuyama senpai put his finger to his chin, stayed silent for a moment, then muttered.
“Then listen to my story. I’ve got a lot on my mind.”
“Are you horny?”
“No way !”
‘Just kidding. If you want, I’ll listen to your complaints.”
“Damn…that’s a pretty condescending way to talk, but whatever. Listen carefully, okay? That woman rejected my confession eight times, and in the end, she acted so cold toward me. When we broke up, she was smiling, you know? She was laughing at me.”
His voice sounded distorted.
“She wasn’t laughing at Katsuyama senpai. She was just smiling kindly. Akane senpai is a kind person.”
“Even though I said bad things about that woman, you didn’t even flinch. From the way you look, you’re not targeting her, and you don’t have a weird relationship with her. It’s just a coincidence that you met her, right?”
“…….”
He’s laughing a little, like he’s got me figured out, but unfortunately, he’s wrong. There’s no one in this world who can figure out that I’m just a lodger.
“Silence means yes. So, I can do whatever I want, right?”
“Whatever you want? What exactly do you plan to do? No one else is listening, so please tell me secretly, Katsuyama senpai.”
I smiled in my own way and looked at him.
“…You have a scary face. Is that woman’s true face the same as yours? She might actually be a scheming, corrupt slut.”
I meant to smile, but it seems I had a scary face.
Also, Akane senpai is not scheming. You can tell by watching her at home. The smile she gives her two younger sisters is full of compassion.
“I think that smile is genuine.”
That means it’s her true feelings (firmly rejected).
“Is that so?”
“Yes. I haven’t talked to her much, but Akane senpai is a kind person. She even talks to someone like me.”
“You’re a rapist, so don’t judge other people.”
“Anyway, what do you think of Akane senpai? Do you really like her? You confessed to her eight times, right?”
“Huh? It’s obvious. I don’t like her. I’ve never even thought about wanting to date her. I just think she’s a good playmate. Because it’s the best, right? The sense of superiority that comes from having someone like her, who doesn’t seem to be swayed by anyone else, trust only me…you can’t experience that anywhere else, can you? Executioner, you understand, right?”
“…You’re quite the playboy, aren’t you?”
“Of course ! I’m a self-proclaimed playboy ! I’ve never had trouble with women, and I live my life however I want !”
Katsuyama senpai seemed pleased to be called a playboy, his voice brimming with joy.
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
“Anyway, I’ll do whatever I want. You don’t have to do anything. You guys are strangers, right?”
“A complete stranger…well, I guess so.”
I hesitated for a moment. I am a complete stranger. There is no doubt about that. However, I felt that it was wrong to use that as an excuse to remain indifferent to Akane senpai and do nothing.
Katsuyama senpai looked at me and slowly smiled a twisted smile.
That smile was eerily unsettling.
A chill ran down my spine.
“Well, thanks. …It was a nice change of pace, executioner.”
Saying that, Katsuyama senpai turned on her heel and left the rooftop.
What was that all about? He’s definitely weird. He’s the type I don’t like. Akane senpai seemed to dislike him too.
“Haa…”
I took another bite of my tuna mayo sandwich.
And then I said what I was thinking.
“What a mentally unstable guy…”
It’s really annoying.
If something happens to Akane senpai, my treatment at home will probably get even worse.
To prevent that from happening, I hope Katsuyama senpai just blows himself up.
It would be a great help if the rumor that he’s a shallow guy turned out to be true and he blew himself up.
But if that doesn’t happen, I’ll have to figure something out. I’m the only one caught in the middle who knows the truth.
Thinking that, I silently chewed the rest of the bread.
By the way, the recording came out crystal clear.
This material might come in handy later. I’ll keep it safe.
