The Day After My Girlfriend Cheated on Me, My Female Friend Suddenly Started Seducing Me. ~The Protagonist’s Struggle Begins With a Revenge Drama~
Most high school students get excited about topics where the word “love” comes up. One honor student may like someone, or a certain boy may have a crush on a certain girl. There are many unexpected turns of events. Love is unpredictable, yet it attracts people. That is why anyone can fall in love.
As I recall, I was also wondering about the person I like. During the break time just now, I was really curious about what Kaori, who was in the library with me, said about the person she likes.
She is the most popular girl in her class, the top of the caste, so to speak. Even the girls, let alone the boys, are captivated by her. What kind of man does she fall in love with? It is a topic that intrigues me to no end.
“What’s wrong, Rei? What’s wrong with your face?”
“Hey, Masamune.”
The one who called out to me was Kenzaki Masamune. He is my childhood friend. Masamune, who had apparently come all the way to me from another class, sat down in the empty seat next to me.
“What’s the matter? What do you want?”
“What do you want? Don’t give me that. …..I heard about your girlfriend. It was a mess.
Masamune had come to me about the incident with Ririko. He has always had a caring nature. He was probably worried that I was depressed. But I had already recovered. It was already too late. I don’t know if I’m using that correctly.
“Well, it was tough. I guess I don’t have the eyes to see…”
“I think you’re blind. You were dating a woman like that.”
I had nothing to say in return. I wondered if it was possible to fix this kind of thing on my own.
“You should go see an ophthalmologist.”
“Shut up. ….I’m not interested in her anymore. I’m over it.”
“Well, I’m glad to hear you’re doing well. What were you thinking about, by the way?”
I pointed with my chin in the direction of Kaori. It’s really cute to see her happily chatting with the girls.
“I hear there’s someone Kaori likes. I wonder what kind of person he is.”
“Heh….can I tell you something that’s pretty new?
“Eh, you know?”
Masamune nods in shock. Apparently it was a more well-known fact than I thought.
“It’s a well-known fact that even if you didn’t realize it, people who are dumped are always told, [Because there’s someone I like.] The punchline of those who were dumped is that they frantically search for the guy who could make Kaori san fall in love with him.”
“So, did you find that guy?”
Masamune shrugged his shoulders.
“Beats me. That’s all I know. ….But, ignorance is a crime.”
“Kaori told me that too. Is it a trend?”
Masamune let out a deliberate sigh. What’s with this guy? Tell me what I did.
“Oh, who is this infidel who is sitting in my seat?”
Ruri san appeared from behind me as if she had been born out of thin air. This is exactly what I mean when I say that she appears and disappears from the scene. Masamune’s shoulders jumped at Ruri san’s appearance.
“Eh, H-Hikarigahara !? Why are you here….”
“That’s because the seat you’re sitting in is mine. You’d better move as soon as possible.”
“I-I’m sorry ! Rei, why didn’t you tell me that earlier?”
“Because you didn’t ask.”
“Listen, if you’re disrespectful to the lady of Hikarigahara, you will be terminated ! It’s despicable to trick a friend !”
It seems that for Masamune, Ruri san is an object of fear. I think the rumors of being terminated or whatever are getting to be too much on their own. Well, I have a feeling she might do it.
“Kenzaki Masamune. He belongs to the kendo club. When he was in junior high school, he was an ace who had been to the nationals. He is popular among the girls. And above all, he is Rei kun’s childhood friend. ….Yes, I already know who you are.”
“W-why did you know about me…!”
“To eliminate….you?”
“…Ruri san, you mustn’t joke about this.”
“It’s a Hikarigahara’s joke. You’re so boring.”
Ruri san sat down in her seat with a cool-headed face. She seems to be joking, but I’m afraid that in her case, it may not be a joke. Masamune’s hands are also shaking slightly.
“…So, what kind of indecent conversation did they have while I was gone?”
“Why did you say that. …We were talking about Kaori.”
“About Hiiragi san?”
“Yes. I heard that Kaori has someone she likes. Did you know that, Ruri san?”
“You think I don’t know?…Or rather, Rei kun didn’t know.”
Like Masamune, Ruri san seemed to know that Kaori had someone she liked. Maybe it’s just me who doesn’t know…?
“Hey, wait, wait. Why are you so close with Hikarigahara san !”
Masamune slammed his hands on my desk and brought his face closer to mine. It’s no wonder he’s surprised. There are also rumors that Ruri san hates men. That doesn’t seem to be the case.
“Because we’re sitting next to each other?”
“Why the question mark…that Hikarigahara san is talking to a man normally…?”
“Could you please stop talking like I’m a monster? If you weren’t Rei kun’s childhood friend, you’d be beheaded by now.”
“Ruri san.”
“Hikarigahara’s joke.”
“….Well, you could have done it, couldn’t you? Yeah. I’m sure.”
Masamune nodded his head with a strangely satisfied look.
“Besides, Rei kun, the teacher said there was a handout that he wanted Rei kun to write, so I brought it for you.”
“Thanks….what’s this?”
At the top of the printout that Ruri san handed me, there was a huge [Fiancée Contract] written on it. Although I was confused by the sudden inclusion of foreign substances, I handed the contract back to Ruri san.
“It’s a marriage contract. You’ve decided on the marriage contract, haven’t you?”
“What is decided? I haven’t said anything about it.”
“You haven’t said anything, that means neither yes nor no. That means it’s OK.”
“Why is that so? You see, Masamune has overloaded and stopped completely.”
“…..I don’t understand, this is not the Hikarigahara san I know…”
In the end, that break time was at the mercy of Ruri san and we never found out who Kaori’s favorite person was.
