The Day After My Girlfriend Cheated on Me, My Female Friend Suddenly Started Seducing Me. ~The Protagonist’s Struggle Begins With a Revenge Drama~
“….What kind of a joke is this?”
I unintentionally used honorific language as evidence that my thought process had stopped. Kaori tilted her head and wondered what was so funny. Of course it was weird.
“Are you kidding? Aahhn, aahn. Come on, open your mouth.”
What Kaori is trying to do to me right now is feeding me, which is a well-known act that couples often do (me and my ex didn’t do it very often). Normally, couples do this. It is risky for me and Kaori, who are not a couple, to do it. It should be avoided.
However, Kaori did not seem to let it go. She stares into my eyes and gradually closes the gap between us. The approaching pancake rushed my thoughts.
No, wait. If I calmly and politely decline, it will not look unnatural to others. Calmly, calmly, calmly.
But wait, this menu was originally for couples only. If that’s the case, it’s natural to say ‘ahn’. Is it natural to just accept it here….?
My muddled thinking would not allow me to come to a conclusion. My thoughts are further clouded by the looming time limit. Before I knew it, the pancake was right in front of my mouth. Finally, I decided to let my instincts take over.
“A-ahh…”
I took a bite. There was no change in taste from what I had just eaten. However, my taste buds were able to taste the pancake one more time just by being in a different situation.
It was not my first time eating pancakes, but my heart was racing. When the other party is of the opposite sex, I can’t help but be conscious of it.
“Kyaa〜! That couple is so in love ! I got to see something nice !”
“Hey, hey, let’s do that too !”
…I feel an incredible amount of stares. It was a lot of stares that I don’t usually get. That’s why my movements were like those of a robot with rusty joints.
“Is it good?”
“……Yeah.”
“Fufu, Rei kun, aren’t you a little too shy? Could it be your first time?”
“No, it’s not my first time…..”
“…..It’s not?”
It felt like the first time in a while.The sensation of numbness and immobility in the limbs. The color of Kaori’s eyes, which had lost their light and become cloudy, resembled the color of blood.
“Heh, I see. …Even though I wanted to take it from you.”
“W-what’s with that…it doesn’t matter. So what if it’s not the first time….”
“It’s not good. The first time is always remembered in a person’s mind. Subconsciously.”
Kaori, who had stuck a fork in my head, spoke as if admonishing me. She looks disappointed, but I can see other emotional ups and downs in her narrowed eyes.
“….Well, whatever. What’s lost is lost. We’ve finished eating, so let’s get going.”
Kaori then took another bite of the remaining pancake and ate it all up. She returned to her usual behavior and immediately got up from her seat. I gulped down my remaining coffee and followed her.
“….What was that?”
I was oblivious to the vengeful eyes that caught mine.

“Thanks for going out with me today. I have something to do, so I’ll see you later.”
After paying the bill, Rei and Kaori left the restaurant and parted ways. They walk in opposite directions.
Rei heads straight home. This is for Rena, who is waiting for him to return home. Basically, she cannot live without Rei. Just one day without him is enough to ruin her life. She is a very needy little sister, but Rei thinks that is a cute part of her.
Behind Rei, there is a shadow following him. It was vigilantly watching for the moment when Rei would be alone.
His name is Honda Yu. He is a sad man who has fallen from his position as the prince of the school. Ever since the video of Ririko’s incident was leaked, his credibility has fallen to the bottom of the heap. The juniors who adored him and the fan club he had have now disbanded. Yu has lost his place.
Just as he was losing his place in the school and his future was in the dark, Yu saw Rei’s figure in his field of vision.
Yu knew. He knew that the video was taken when Ririko came in contact with Rei. Therefore, he believed that Rei was the cause of his situation.
Anyone would attack under any circumstances if the person they wanted to avenge was right in front of them. In Yu’s hand is a cutter. Although its killing power is low, it is more than enough to inflict a wound. Depending on the point of impact, it could be fatal.
The trembling tip of the blade aims at his back. It doesn’t matter where, as long as you can stab him. He wants to avenge Rei’s wrongdoing.
（Bastrad…you’re making me do this. Because of you…..because of you..!)
Yu approaches Rei as he enters a narrow alley to take a shortcut. Yu, who had confirmed that no one was watching him, stepped out with determination.
“Because of you….!’
A moment later, Yu received a shock to the side of his stomach. The assault was blocked, and Yu sprawled on the ground without time to raise his voice. While he was breathing hard to regain the air that had left his lungs due to the impact, Yu confirmed that he did not have the cutter in his hand. The next moment, his body was shocked again. It was from the recoil of one person’s weight, which was light for him.
“Yes, too bad.”
Crimson eyes did not let fools escape.
