The Day After My Girlfriend Cheated on Me, My Female Friend Suddenly Started Seducing Me. ~The Protagonist’s Struggle Begins With a Revenge Drama~
The incident with Kaori’s indoor shoe had somehow been settled, and the school had regained its usual calm.
Since then, I had been bombarded with questions about where I had found the shoes and how I had found them, but thanks to Ruri san’s sound advice, I had managed to cover it up. Even so, some fans sniffed it out and caused trouble.
“Rei kun, can I have a word?”
Kaori comes to me at the end of homeroom. She beckons me over to her, and from the way she is beckoning me over, I can tell that she wants to talk about something. I nodded silently and got up from my seat. I followed Kaori out of the classroom.
Kaori’s footsteps stopped at an empty classroom next to the science room. It seemed to be unlocked, and we both went inside. This classroom was originally used as a preparation room and is not very spacious, about 6 tatami mats. There was a slight smell of chemicals in the air as a remnant of the preparation room.
Kaori and I each sat down on an empty round chair.
Kaori was the first to open her mouth.
“Well〜, today was a disaster…are you okay?”
“Somehow. ….Some fans followed me around.”
“I see. I’m sorry I caused you trouble.”
“No, no, no, it was them who caused trouble. Kaori doesn’t need to apologize.”
“Is that so? ….I’m not sure.
One of Kaori’s worries is that because she is popular, she becomes concerned about her surroundings. The slightly apologetic look in her eyes told me.
“…It’s tough being popular. I wish I could have taken over your role a little bit.”
“Just being near me like this is enough for me. ….So, you know.”
Kaori, who had a big smile on her face, asked me this time with a mysterious look on her face.
“….Do you want a pair of shoes?”
“….Excuse me?”
When a person is shocked, words do not come out. Kaori’s words left me blank for a few seconds.
Just as my thoughts were starting to move, Kaori started to take off her shoes. I hastily put a stop to her eccentricity and began to string together words with all the concentration of my still-circuitry-challenged thoughts.
“Um, wait. …..What do you mean?”
“Rei kun, I was wondering if you want my shoes…I can give them to you, Rei kun…”
…I see. So that’s it. When I thought about it, it seemed that Kaori still had a grave misunderstanding. No wonder the way she looked at me was aloof.
“Kaori, you are mistaken. …I didn’t steal the shoes.”
“Eh, i-is that so !? …Then Ruri chan…?”
“she didn’t. Erm, I don’t know how to say it……I was handed that by Ruri san. Ruri san found it for me. I don’t even know who the culprit is.”
I decided not to tell Kaori about Shinmon. The motive was the scum itself, but I felt that this was a terrible way to treat him after getting him down on his knees. If he hadn’t gotten down on his knees, I would have immediately told his homeroom teacher.
Kaori would not want to have to deal with this kind of anxiety. I should keep it a secret, considering her physical and mental state. I decided so and continued the conversation.
“I-I see. I thought Rei kun had stolen my shoes.”
“If I do that, your fans will beat me up, and there will be no place for me to be, and my school life will be over. I don’t want that.”
“….If that happens, will Rei kun be alone?”
“Eh? Oh, yeah, that’s right.
“…Fufu, I see. That’s not a bad idea.”
It was a chilling smile. There was no trace of her usual cheerful and friendly personality. A feeling of discomfort, as if the skin of a monster had been peeled off and I could see what was inside. Still, my gaze was drawn to her. There is something called mysterious charm. After all, she knows something that I don’t know…
“…I’m just kidding. Just a joke. Don’t be so serious.”
“…I-I see. Please don’t make any funny jokes.”
I found myself drenched in cold sweat. The abnormal atmosphere that Kaori sometimes shows makes me feel pressured every time. The curiosity aroused by its true identity will not subside. It’s just that I’m holding back because I know I shouldn’t waver.
Just as I took a breath, something warm and fresh was placed over my hand. It was black, thin, and slightly damp. Like human skin…
“….!?”
I choked on my words in inexpressible surprise. What was covering my hand was a pair of socks. It was Kaori’s socks, too. The reason I made that guess was because I could see her stunningly beautiful raw legs in front of me.
Elegant, yet shiny and slender legs. White skin reminiscent of falling snow. It has a fragility that makes you feel like it will fall apart if you touch it, but it also has a charm that makes you want to touch it. Her skin was like a jewel.
“You can have it. It’s mine. …Do you want another one? “
“No, thanks ! Why are you doing this….”
“Because I wanted to give you a piece of me? ….Okay, bye.”
The conversation was very casual for such a daring move. Kaori left without listening to my words. Kaori’s socks remain in my hand. Her warmth still remains.
(What am I supposed to do with these things…?)
I don’t know what Kaori’s fans will say if I keep such a thing. However, I feel like leaving it here would be a bad idea. After some struggle, I put the socks in my pocket.
