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 see, Kaori san’s type is a gentleman…that’s me !”
The rainy season had passed, and the gymnasium was filled with soft sunlight. The cheerful atmosphere of the late afternoon enveloped a great misunderstanding.
Today, I was having lunch with Masamune and Shinmon, and I was telling them the information I got from Kaori. I had hoped that he would give up now, but it seems that his love is still very hot.
“Gentleman, huh…where is that guy?”
“I don’t know where you can find such a person. ….It’s impossible anyway.”
“Personality is not a problem ! The only thing left is competition…”
This morning, our class decided on the entries for the ball games. The boys were to play dodgeball and basketball, and the girls were to play volleyball and basketball, respectively.
Of the two, Shinmon and I will be playing dodgeball. Dodgeball is popular at our school because it is a simple game and anyone can play it. It is said that if you play well, you will be safe for a year.
“You guys played dodgeball, right? Rei aside…Shinmon, can you play sports?”
“I can handle it. I’m used to ball games.”
“I see. Your head is like a ball, too.”
With a half-smile, Masamune nudged Shinmon. Perhaps he was used to being teased, so Shinmon lightly parried it.
“More than that, I’m more worried about Hiori. Before I become active, my goal is to win. I have to win. …Do you have any sports experience?”
“I played a lot of sports when I was little, like volleyball and soccer. I don’t play any of them anymore.”
“Ha…you seem to be able to play a little.”
“I don’t think you have anything to worry about Rei. Well, if you are worried, why don’t you try playing basketball one-on-one?”
Masamune suggested that Shinmon and I play basketball against each other. As for me, I’m not confident in my athletic ability. But that doesn’t mean I can’t do it. I think I can play it moderately.
“I’ll play defense, you play offense. If you make a shot, you win. Okay?”
He explains the rules and receives the ball. I had never played basketball before, but I had some knowledge of the game. The question is how far she can go with that knowledge alone.
My opponent is Shinmon. I don’t know about his sports background, but his beaming mouth shows that he has plenty of confidence. It would be safe to assume that he has the ability to do so.
If I’m going to do it, I have to win. That’s all I have in mind.
“All right, let’s go for it ! Masamune, give me the signal.”
“Then, let’s get started !”
On his cue, I started dribbling. I have heard that in basketball, it is important to be slow and steady. It would be a good idea to feint somewhere and then pass them.
Shifumi stood in front of me as I tried to dribble from the side. I stop once and cross the ball several times under my legs to see what Shinmon will do. Shinmon reached out to me just as I wanted.
I took a step back. The hand that just missed me shifted my center of gravity, and Shinmon was knocked off his feet. I immediately dribble past Shinmon.
Once free, I calmly took aim and shot. The ball arced nicely and rattled the net.
“Goal. Shinmon lost.”
“Damn, you’re good at it, Hiori…you’re pretty good at basketball, but maybe you’ve been playing it?”
“No, I didn’t. I’m an amateur.”
“…..”
“That’s the kind of person you are, Rei. Please don’t glare at me too much. After all, this is ‘normal’ for Rei.”
“Isn’t he amazing, my Rei kun? Even though he looks like this, he has great potential.”
“The daughter of Hikarigahara…”
Ruri san appeared out of nowhere. Masamune was in a state of surprise. Shinmon becomes afraid.
“Why are you surprised? Since Rei kun is here, it’s no wonder I’m here, right?”
“What’s with that mysterious theory? And I’m not yours.”
“Not yet. It will happen in time.”
I glanced over at Shinmon. It’s written on his face that he wants to run away right now.
Ruri san will probably get angry if she finds out that I’m helping Shinmon. For now, it’s better to split up.
“By the way, what were they talking about? It’s so sad that I’m the only one left out of the group.”
“It’s nothing, it’s just a trivial conversation. I’m just talking about a girl’s pants Shinmon saw today.”
“Huh !?”
“…You’re still a vulgar man. If it wasn’t for Rei kun, you would’ve been socially wiped out by now.”
“No, no, not a single word about that… right, Masamune !”
“….No, don’t hide it.”
The cold look that comes from Ruri san’s slitted eyes pierces Shinmon. There is no man who would not be sunk by the ruthlessness.
Masamune and I pretended not to notice and left the gymnasium. It seems that today’s casualty was only Shinmon.
