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’s the point of me helping you?”
Kaori froze when she heard those words.
Kaori had been following Rei, waiting for the right moment to be alone with him. The conversation she overheard was contrary to what she had expected.
Rei was helping Shinmon with his love life. And with himself.
Kaori watched their backs as they left and reminisced. She remembers why Rei had asked her what type of person she liked. The two of them had been getting involved with each other a lot lately. All of their actions defy Kaori’s expectations. As a result, what remained was her misunderstood self.
Kaori was mistaken. It was not because she was embarrassed, but rather because she felt empty.
It was more of a feeling of emptiness.
Finally, the person she loves looks back at her. She can get one step closer to him. Her heart, which had been filled with anticipation and joy, was now deserted.
Rei was cooperating with Shinmon’s love affair. Kaori was aware that this meant he was helping him because he was not interested in her. The fact that she felt he was interested in her was all her own hubris. In the end, it was just a monologue.
For Kaori, there was no more despair.

At the same time, there was another person who was looking for a chance to be alone with Rei. She had gone all the way up to the upper level from her own classroom and was watching the classroom from the corridor.
(Hmm…I came here to talk to you, but we can’t talk like this…should I just wait like this? No, I should just go in boldly…no, no, no. That would make it seem like I like you a lot !)
The woman named Nemugaki was still struggling within herself. On the one hand, there is Nemugaki who wants to let go of Rei, and on the other hand, the devilish Nemugaki who cannot be honest continues to fight. She was currently caught between the two.
“Oh, dear, you’re a persistent junior.”
“Uhh !? … Hikarigahara senpai, could you please stop appearing silently from behind all the time?”
“Fufu, sorry. It’s become a habit. I like to muffle my footsteps.”
The person named Ruri had changed her evaluation within Nemugaki’s mind. At first, she was the proud daughter of the famous Hikarigahara family. Next, she was a person who repeatedly exhibited odd behavior and was not well understood. Recently, she had become a mysterious person who gave advice to her love rival, and although she remained an elusive person in the end, she had settled on the conclusion that she was not a person to be feared.
“What kind of murderous family are you from…and what can I do for you?”
“Oh? I mean….this is the second time we’ve had this conversation today. Oh well. I saw you struggling, so I was wondering what was going on. Well, it’s pretty much what I expected.”
Nemugkai was slightly displeased that her thoughts were being read. It was as if she was embarrassed when her sister found out who she liked, or she felt a slight resistance, as if her friends were teasing her about her love life.
“…It doesn’t matter. I came here for Senpai, and it’s worse if he doesn’t notice me.”
“Oh, you’re a typical tsundere. You really wanna talk to him, don’t you?”
“S-shut up….are you sure you don’t need to talk to Senpai?”
“I can talk as much as I want later. Rei will always come back to me.”
“…You have so much confidence. Don’t you ever worry that I might take him away from you?”
Nemugaki finally spoke the question she had been wondering about. Seeing Ruri’s hesitation, she regretted her own actions and thought that her question had been a bit too intrusive, but Ruri answered.
“A smooth road to love would be boring. I’m sure I can win, so I wanna push myself to the limit.”
“….You mean you’re looking for a thrill?”
“Well, it’s not close, but it’s not far. I’m not into NTR, and I don’t condone cheating. It’s more interesting to have a lot of drama before getting together with someone.”
“….What if he hooks up with someone like Hiiragi senpai?
“Then I’ll kill him and die too.”
“Oh…you’re a real yandere, aren’t you?”
“I don’t want a tsundere telling me what to do.”
“I don’t want a yandere telling me what to do, either.”
“….I’ll leave the final decision to Rei kun, whatever it is. No matter what the outcome is, if it’s his decision then I won’t deny it. I will condemn it, though.”
“Ruri san, Nemugaki.”
As she was taking interest in Ruri’s words, which seemed to make sense, Rei popped his head out of the classroom. After checking on Nemugaki and Ruri, he walked over to them.
“Senpai, you’re late.”
“Did I have a meeting with you…?”
“Fufu, it’s hard having a subordinate who isn’t honest. Rei kun, what do you wanna eat tonight?”
“Ruri-san, let’s not talk about that at school. There’s a chance that I won’t be able to stay at this school.”
The two of them were talking and somehow understood the meaning of what they had just said.
Although he seemed to be impatient, his expression relaxed, showing that he didn’t completely distrust her. Rei casually placed Ruri next to him, and Ruri casually touched Rei’s body. In that casual exchange, Nemugaki realized that there was something between the two of them that set them apart from other people.
(…This is going to be an uphill battle.)
She instinctively sensed that a fierce battle was in the offing.
