I’m Tired of My Childhood Friend Playing Pranks on Me, so I Want to Date a Female Friend Who Loves Me Sincerely
After getting out of the bath and finishing the dinner Hanako had made for me, the doorbell suddenly rang throughout the house.
It seemed that Rika had arrived. After discussing it with Hanako, we decided that if anything went wrong, Hanako would wait outside the room and rush in if necessary.
I had initially refused, but she insisted, and since it was out of concern for her brother, I couldn’t blame her too much.
“I’ll go out then. Hanako, just stay in the living room for now.”
“Got it, nii chan. If anything happens, leave it to me.”
“Alright. I’m counting on you.”
I left those words with my sister and cautiously made my way to the entrance.
Even now, I wonder why I had to invite a woman who betrayed me into my house.
Even though it was my idea, I wanted to blame myself for not coming up with a better plan.
“Welcome.”
“Good evening, Ayato-kun.”
“Hello.”
Rika is still cute, no matter how many times I see her. I’ll never see her as a romantic interest again, but she is still the school’s Madonna.
Maybe it’s an exaggeration to say every day, but she’s probably confessed her feelings to someone several times a week.
Even when she was dating me, she was constantly being confessed to.
She never accepted any of them, and I think the word “cheating” probably didn’t even exist in her mind.
Still, it’s honestly hard to believe that she didn’t realize that her actions were hurting the other person.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been to your house, Ayato-kun.”
“Yeah.”
“Lately, I’ve been hanging out with my friends a lot, visiting their houses and going out with them, but now I don’t have to deal with all that hassle anymore.”
“…”
Is it okay to say that about people who were your friends until yesterday?
If the rumors that Nagiri-san mentioned are true, then I guess it’s good that she’s being called that.
“From today, I’ll be with you every day as your girlfriend, just like when we were in junior high school. Don’t worry, we’ll never be apart again.”
There’s nothing to feel secure about… And in Rika’s mind, we haven’t broken up yet.
I have to find a way to make her understand, or things will get complicated.
“Then, can you come to the living room so we can talk about various things?”
“Why the living room? Can’t we just go to Ayato’s room like usual?”
“We’re not lovers anymore.”
I’m not weird enough to let someone of the opposite sex who isn’t my lover into my room.
In my mind, the only people who can enter my room are those who are in a romantic relationship with me. Of course, only lovers who love each other.
We don’t fall into that category.
“Are you still joking around? I don’t agree with that. We haven’t broken up, and Ayato-kun will be my fiancé forever.”
“That’s not true. I already said I wanted to break up.”
Then we argued for a few minutes. Neither of us would back down.
Rika stubbornly refused to admit that we had broken up.
But suddenly…
“All right, then. If you let me into Ayato’s room once, I’ll admit it.”
“…Are you serious?”
“I’m serious. I’m not lying.”
“All right.”
