The Day After My Girlfriend Cheated on Me, My Female Friend Suddenly Started Seducing Me. ~The Protagonist’s Struggle Begins With a Revenge Drama~
I got on the elevator and pushed the button for the fourth floor. I left Kaori after that and went straight home. I couldn’t keep my little sister waiting at home. She sometimes cries because she is too lonely, so I can’t leave her alone.
When I came to the front of the house, I took out my key card and opened the door. There was a pair of shiny loafers that seemed to be Rena’s at the front door. I had an inkling of what to expect.
Just as the face of a certain solitary princess flashed through my mind, a figure approached from the living room.
“Welcome home, Rei kun. Do you want to eat? Do you want to take a bath? Or me?”
“Then Rena.”
Without looking aside, I headed for Rena’s room. The sight of Ruri san carrying an apron was really pleasing to the eye, but hanging out with someone like that usually doesn’t end well. The first thing to do is to rescue Rena, who is probably waiting in fear.
I arrived in front of Rena’s room and knocked on the door three times. Since there was no response, I decided to call again.
“Rena, I’m back, it’s me.”
In response to my call, I heard rustling noises coming from inside the room. After a few seconds, I opened the door a little and Rena appeared.
“Onii !”
Rena jumped on me as soon as she saw my face. She buried her face in my chest and pressed her face. It was cute, like the courtship behavior of a small animal.
“Welcome back, Onii ! She came in here again without permission !”
“Isn’t it natural for a bride to wait for her beloved to return?”
“What do you mean a bride. ….How did you get in here? My apartment has a card key system.”
“Hikarigahara magic.”
I don’t think this is a situation that can be solved by magic. I’m becoming more and more curious as to what kind of family the Hikarigahara family is.
The lone queen of the school. In front of me, she is a funny girl. The Hikarigahara family has nothing they can’t do. The mystery about this person only deepens.
“Rei kun, you must be hungry, right? Let’s have dinner.”
I head to the living room with Rena. I was tempted to make a comment to Ruri san, who was making dinner at home as a matter of course, but I knew that such comments would not work on her. It was useless.
Ruri san had already prepared the food, or so I thought, as she set out the dishes in an efficient manner.
Hamburg steak, potato salad, white rice, consommé soup, and apple. It was a well-balanced meal with three dishes in one soup. Except for the fact that she was making it at someone else’s house without permission.
“…You’re amazing, aren’t you?”
“Right? Well, let’s eat before it gets cold. Rena chan too.”
Ruri san and I join hands and start eating. Rena also started eating after confirming that something was nothing wrong. This girl tried to test if her brother was poisoned or not.
“…! Oh, it’s delicious…”
“Right? We’re gonna be a family from now on, so I’mma feed you a lot of food.”
“What are you talking about? Don’t joke about marrying into Hikarigahara.”
Rena’s eyes were shining and she seemed excited about Ruri san’s cooking. Her cooking skills are certain. Maybe it’s because I don’t usually eat other people’s cooking, but I found Ruri san’s cooking to be very delicious.
“How’d you like it? Rei kun.”
“…It’s delicious. It’s perfect, except for the fact that you’re in my house without my permission.”
“Oh my, Rei kun, you say things that make me happy so easily.”
I thought I’d hit the nail on the head, but apparently it doesn’t work on Hikarigahara’s people. She was whimpering while putting her hand on her cheek. How exactly is this spirit of steel formed?
“B-but, Onii’s food tastes better ! Don’t get carried away, weirdo.”
“Call me your sister, not weirdo. I’m the woman who will be your sister in the future.”
“Eh !? Y-you’re gonna marry her, Onii !?”
“Of course not…she’s just saying that on her own, so don’t worry about it.”
Rena’s eyes widened at Ruri san’s words. It was no longer a trend for Ruri san to enjoy seeing that reaction. I wonder if my sister is okay…
“….Speaking of which, Rei kun. I’m angry.”
As I was eating while correcting Rena so that she would not be confused, Ruri san suddenly turned her arrow toward me. Although she says it in words, her expression doesn’t look so angry. It’s just a little stuffy.
“What did I do?”
“You had a date with Kaori san today, didn’t you?”
I inadvertently squirted out the water I had been drinking and coughed. I asked her as I wiped my mouth with the expensive-looking handkerchief that Ruri san handed me.
“…Date? What are you talking about? I just went out with her to the café…”
“A man and a woman the same age goes to a café alone after school. What part of that is not a date?”
“….No, because Kaori is.”
“Are you tryna say that she’s your female friend? ….I’m sorry, but that excuse won’t work with me.”
Ruri san interrupted me and continued. I smoothly tucked the handkerchief I had wiped my mouth with into my pocket, and Ruri san continued.
“Can I ask you a question? Rei kun, you’re a sad schoolboy who just lost his girlfriend because she cheated on you. Your looks are perfect and you are well-liked by girls. …You’re being targeted, you know?”
“No way that Kaori is after me…”
The words of denial that were supposed to come out were stuck in my throat and wouldn’t come out. As I try to deny it, Kaori’s face appears in my mind.
I had seen her in the library with a blush on her cheeks, the very expression of a maiden in love. The fact that I had memorized it was holding back my words of denial.
“You can’t deny it, can you? Yes. That’s right. Now that you’re free, you’re a target for girls. You have to be very careful.”
“No way, there’s no girl out to get me…..”
“I’m here.”
“Don’t say such a thing so easily !”
I was intimidated by Ruri’s nonchalant display of affection. …This person is at full throttle even during ordinary times.
“…I mean, what does that have to do with Ruri san being mad at me?”
“As Hiori Rei’s fiancée, I can’t just overlook it, can I?”
“Since when did you become my fiancée?… Please stop saying things like this at school, at least at home.”
“Heh, speaking of school, the only place for Rei kun is next to me…”
Ah, I was in a panic and said something unnecessary. When this person says something like this, she actually means it.
I managed to continue eating my hamburg steak while being swayed by Ruri san, whom I could not tell whether she was upset or in a good mood from start to finish.
