My Girlfriend Was Stolen From Me, but I Was Trained by the Four Heavenly Kings of B*tchy Gals at School (Including My Childhood Friend) and Before I Knew It, I Had Become a Monster
Three of them had beauty salon appointments today or something, so they left before I did.
They said they would introduce me to a men’s beauty salon next time, so I guess I’ll be going there eventually, but not now.
So at the end of summer vacation, it was my first after-school time alone.
So I show up at the literature club, which I haven’t been in for a while.
However, our club members read books in the library on their own, and only at festivals and other events do we exhibit the results of our work together.
So when club members meet each other, they just say hello unless they are close.
The club members here are no exception.
So today, just as I was thinking of taking my time to read a book for the first time in a while, I saw someone sitting right in front of me.
There was a person who took the trouble to sit right in front of me.
“Kensei kun. Can I talk to you for a moment?”
It was a voice I should have been used to hearing in the library.
But to be honest, I didn’t feel good about having my reading time interrupted.
I could have just ignored it, but I didn’t. I looked up from my book and looked in front of me.
I looked up from my book and looked ahead.
I was so used to seeing faces that my gaze crossed over them.
There is no anger, no sadness, and moreover, no awkwardness.
In other words, I felt nothing.
“……”
“……”
A moment of silence followed.
I opened my mouth.
“What is it? Shirasaka san.”
“Ah, well, I’d like to ask for some advice.”
“I don’t want to, that’s what your boyfriend should do, isn’t it?”
I’m not being sarcastic about it.
Because I honestly had no intention of having anything to do with Shirasaka.
It is often said that the opposite of love is indifference.
The reason I’ve been able to be so calm about it is probably because of Himeka and the others.
If I had continued to be a cynical, rotten person, I would still be harboring demeaning feelings toward Shirasaka.
“It’s about him, or rather about Senpai.”
“No, I don’t think I can help you.”
He’s the kind of guy who would make a move on someone else’s girlfriend anyway. It’s probably just a pointless story that he had another woman besides Shirasaka.
“No, it has to be Kensei kun…I actually didn’t want to break up with Kensei. Senpai threatened me, so I have no choice.”
“???”
Well, if I were to say it in Sakuya’s style, it would be too vague.
No matter how you look at it at the time, Kotomi didn’t seem against it.
“I’m really sorry about that time. I still love you the most, Kensei kun.”
Well, I never thought I would hear the standard line.
On top of that. I was literally left with my mouth hanging open.
“Ah, erm, what can I say?”
I managed to move my open mouth, but the unexpected turn of events left me speechless.
“Yeah. I know it’s a little late now. I’m sorry. But I can’t lie to myself about my feelings. Can’t we try again?”
Whether it is a lie or the truth, there is no sense of sincerity in trying to be forgiven by someone who betrayed you once.
She just pushes her own feelings onto me without taking my feelings into consideration at all.
Even if she was really threatened and forced into a relationship.
Just because you’re the victim.
[Well, then, it is what it is.]
Do you think I would easily forgive you……
No, that’s why she said those words.
She has no idea that she is the perpetrator who has hurt me.
So there is not the slightest bit of sincerity there……
I’m sure that in Shirasaka’s mind, I’m still in love with her.
So she thinks she is allowed to do whatever she wants.
What an arrogant idea.
But the scary thing is that if Himeka had not been there, there was a possibility that I would still be “in love” with Kotomi, and continue to love her.
In that case, I would have played with the feeling of liking her, moved back in as desired, and then being dumped again when she got tired.
I feel a chill in my stomach at the imaginary future that could have been.
At the same time, I’m no longer the person I was back then.
It seems that while I was spending time with those three people, I must have lost a screw somewhere along the line.
“…Shirasaka-san. I can’t forgive you right away. That’s why I want to hear what you have to say and make a decision.”
Seeing Shirasaka like that, I had the crazy idea that it seemed interesting so I should try and join in the conversation.
“Eh, so you believed me?”
And then came the immediate reaction.
I had just said I would listen to what she had to say, but in her mind, I had already believed her.
Hmmm. She’s got too much of a flower garden in her brain.
It wasn’t like that when we were dating.
“No, I can’t say anything unless you tell me first. What was the reason he was threatening you?”
“Well, he took some nasty pictures and videos of me.
That’s a lot to take in.
I could ask her why he took those pictures of her, but it would be too much to ask, so I just kind of went along with the story.
“Hmm. Well then, shouldn’t you solve that problem first before we start over?”
“T-that’s all right. If I endure during the summer vacation, he said he would erase the pictures.”
“Oh, I see. So during the summer vacation, you were at the mercy of Senpai.”
I also spent my summer vacation doing whatever I wanted with Himeka and the others, so I really can’t say anything about other people, but I’ll just throw in a little sarcastic remark.
“Uh, yeah, I’m sorry. It was hard, but I endured it and he deleted the photos and videos as he promised, so maybe he was a better person than I thought.”
How can he be a good person when he’s threatening you……
What is this, is she pretending to have Stockholm Syndrome?
“Well, then, the problem is solved…in that case, I don’t think you need to push yourself. To be honest, it’ll just be painful for both of us.”
“Ah, erm, that’s not it. I wanna start over, Kensei kun. I know I said some horrible things to you, but I really do love you. Please, go out with me again.”
Sigh…we ended up going back to the starting point.
For a little while, I considered the possibility that maybe it was true, but I don’t feel any credibility in what we’ve been talking about.
The way she misled me was too lousy, and I got the impression that she didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought she would.
So there was no point in talking about it anymore.
So I decided to end the conversation.
“Erm, I understand what’s going on, but I can’t forgive you right away. I accept your apology, so let’s keep our distance from each other.”
Well, this was probably a safe response.
I don’t care about Shirasaka.
However, my answer enraged Shirasaka.
“Why, I was being threatened and forced into a relationship. Isn’t it normal for a boyfriend to comfort me?”
“…….Phew.”
I let out a deep sigh.
If that were really the case, there would certainly be people who would try to be sympathetic.
Well, there may be some people who are upset.
There are people who understand it intellectually but can’t get over it emotionally.
But it is because they are normal people that they are troubled.
When someone you love and trust cheats and betrays you, no matter what the reason is.
The moment you find out about it, your heart will be broken.
Yes, even if Shirasaka’s story is true.
Shirasaka is a victim and a perpetrator at the same time.
I was also greatly hurt at that moment without a doubt.
If I had not had the summer vacation with Himeka and the others after that, there is a possibility that I would still be wounded.
I was a little annoyed at Shirasaka for not even thinking about that, for thinking too lightly, even though I should have been indifferent to her.
“You know, for the record, there’s no way I can believe anything a cheater says.”
I replied in a strong tone.
“Haa, you can’t even believe what I’m saying. That’s awful, the old Kensei kun would never have said something like that.”
“I guess that’s true. Maybe it’s because of someone that I was able to change.”
“Wha…I see…that’s how it was. I’m sorry Kensei kun, it’s because I took my eyes off you. You were taken advantage of by those worthless bitches…you were deceived, Kensei kun…you didn’t know that those three were lowly bitches who kept changing men. They call them the [Four Heavenly Kings of Bitchy Gals] behind their back. Aizen Himeka in particular is trash who sells herself out to older, rich men.”
Suddenly, Shirasaka’s eyes became fixed and she began to change the target of her attack to Himeka and the others.
It was a mistake to get emotional without thinking.
Ignoring her from the start would have been the right thing to do, but it was my mistake to go out of my way to get involved.
I thought I was being flat, but maybe there was still some part of me that was caught up in the situation.
But…..apart from that, there was something else I couldn’t forgive.
That is, she insulted and made fun of Himeka and the others without even knowing them.
This is something I feel completely guilty about.
I can’t stay silent.
I tried to remain as calm as possible so as not to let my growing anger show, and told Shirasaka.
“Okay, I get it. I’ll show you for yourself whether I’m being fooled or not, so come here for a second.”
Saying this, I took Shirasaka’s hand and moved to a secluded place.
