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 wanna show Kaori san my good side !”
A vigorous voice echoed on the rooftop.
Lunch break. I was having lunch with Shinmon and Masamune on the rooftop when Shinmoncalled me over. Then Shinmon suddenly shouted. Apparently, that was the purpose of today’s summons.
“What’s the guy who stole her slippers talking about? You should behave yourself.”
“What? You promised to help me, didn’t you? Besides, I have a plan this time too.”
“What are you gonna steal this time? A pencil case? A handkerchief? A jersey?”
“No ! I won’t steal anything this time ! …If I had to say, I’d say Kaori san’s heart.”
[ [Shit.] ]
“Shut up ! …There’s a tournament coming up. Ball game tournament.”
There are three major events at our Nanasei High. Sports festival, cultural festival, and ball game tournament. The first one is the ball game.
It is the first event after changing classes. It is said that the class that wins this event will be safe for the rest of the year. It is true that if he does well in this event, he may be looked at a little differently.
“I see, it was almost time. But are you good at ball games?”
“I’m not talking about what I’m good at. This is about love.”
[ [Shit…..] ]
“Don’t pull that shit all the time, guys ! It’s a joke !”
“No, we’re just being serious….”
As long as you have a criminal record, you will always have a criminal record attached to you no matter what you do. This little shit had stolen a pair of school indoor shoes, so it was only natural that he would be under suspicion.
“The upcoming ball game is the first event of the school year. If I do well there, I’m sure she’ll look at me ! If I do that, I can get a little closer to her…”
“…I wonder.”
Shinmon nodded his head at my sudden muttering.
“Kaori has received confessions from various people up until now, you know? Some of them were the ace of the soccer club and the karate club, which is a regular member of the national karate club, but she never turned her attention to those people. I wonder if you can get her to turn her attention to you just by doing something like that at a one-time event.”
The silence that followed my explanation was probably an implicit expression of agreement.
Kaori is an impregnable fortress. Behind her friendly personality, there is an ironclad defense that no one can get to. It is nearly impossible to conquer. Against such an opponent, the temporary success at the event seemed like a flash in the pan.
“….It’s true. It’s not enough to just play an active role. But before that, there are some things that he prefers.”
“As expected of a monk….”
“That can be taken care of later ! The question is how to turn her around…”
Even after explaining the impossibility, Shimon’s motivation suddenly showed no sign of abating. People in love are very foolish and blind. They are willing to fight recklessly, even in the face of reckless battles. This is love, I realized here. I felt as if I was pitying the blindness that had once trapped me.
“Well, it’s impossible. To turn such an unreachable flower around unless there’s something special about you. But that’s only if you’re good at what you do.”
“You’re going around in circles, Masamune. What’s your point?”
“Winning.”
Not only Shinmon, but even I was surprised at his confident words.
“In order to attract attention, it will not be possible to just perform well. There must be some kind of drama or emotion that moves the heart. In order to do that, we need to perform well and win. That is an essential condition.”
“….It’s true that winning a competition with a great performance will attract a lot of attention. But it depends on you whether you can draw attention from it or not.”
“Winning, huh? That’s an endlessly distant goal. ….Okay, if that’s decided, we’ll start practicing now !”
The stupidly shining eyes of Shinmon were full of hope. It is an impossible tightrope to walk. Perhaps he thinks it’s better that the possibility still exists.
“…It seems like he’s willing to do it.”
“If he were broken by such a thing, he wouldn’t have stolen the slippers in the first place, would he? …..We’ve gotten ourselves into a lot of trouble.”
“That’s for sure. I wonder why he never gives up like that.”
“It’s called blindness in love. It’s the same with you.”
“Shut up…”
I left the rooftop regretting that I had agreed to cooperate with Shinmon.
