The Day After My Girlfriend Cheated on Me, My Female Friend Suddenly Started Seducing Me. ~The Protagonist’s Struggle Begins With a Revenge Drama~
After getting out of the bath, I dried my hair and headed for the living room.
In the living room, a still half-crying Rena and a slightly disgruntled Ruri san were sitting on the sofa at a distance from each other. I guessed that Rena probably sat farther away from her. Ruri san, on the other hand, seemed unconvinced that I had just rejected her from entering the bath.
Ruri san urged me to sit between them. Since there was no other place to sit, I sat between Ruri san and Rena. As soon as I sit down, Rena pulls me to her.
“Onii ! She’s crazy after all ! She said she’ll give me 500,000 yen if I answer what Onii likes !”
“….Ruri san, please don’t scare Reina too much. She’s a bit timid.”
“She’s got a strong will, doesn’t give in to money. ….I should have threatened her a little more, shouldn’t I?”
I was about to say no, but I swallowed it down, thinking that I didn’t need to make such a comment now.
After my body had warmed up, I decided to ask a question.
“So, why are you at my house? I never told Ruri san, did I?”
“You’re underestimating Hikarigahara’s intelligence network. It’s easy to identify a person’s house.”
“Please don’t use your power in a strange way. Even if you are gonna come, please contact us first. “
I pointed at Rena, who was trembling. She’s using me as a shield to hide from Ruri san.
“Please don’t pile up money in front of her. She already has a communication disorder and is not good at talking, so she can’t do things like make money transactions.”
“I thought she would be honest with me. Maybe she doesn’t have much desire for that kind of thing? ”
I pointed out, but Ruri san just lost it. There was zero remorse. Who is this person?
I realized that it would be pointless to say any more, so I moved on to the second question.
“….So, what do you want?”
“I was worried about you.”
Ruri answered my question simply. Among the people I talked to today, Ruri san seemed to be especially concerned about me. …I’m a little concerned about the way she worries.
“I thought you would be okay after what happened, but you didn’t come back, and when you did come back, you were soaking wet. ….I don’t know if you noticed, but you looked pretty bad.”
I shut my mouth at the worried tone in Ruri san’s voice, which I rarely hear. This person acts in a way that doesn’t suit her appearance, I guess that’s her own way of worrying about me..
“Eh…Onii, is something wrong?”
“Oh, no…well, things have been happening.”
“Take it easy, Onii. You’ve always been too hard on yourself. If you’re in trouble, I will help you.”
Rena brought her face closer to me as if pleading with me. Even though she’s a gloomy person who can’t do much, she tries to do her best even if it means forcing herself. We are siblings after all because we are similar when it comes to overdoing things.
“Yeah. Thanks.”
I put my hand on Rena’s head and stroke it along the flow of her hair. Rena smiled happily.
“Rei kun, what about me?”
“I won’t do it. Don’t joke about it.”
“Cheapskate. ….Whatever. You must be hungry, right?”
After saying that, Ruri san went to the kitchen. I thought I smelled something good earlier, and it seems she was making curry.
Ruri san offers me a plate of curry. The nice aroma of spices whetted my appetite.
“This is…”
“Here you go. I guarantee the taste.”
I pick up a spoon, take a scoop, and put it in my mouth. The aroma of spices and the delicious taste of chicken wafts through my nose. This is the chicken curry I like.
“I could tell that you liked chicken curry, so I made it for you. How is it?”
“It’s really good. I’m glad to know you can cook, Ruri chan.”
“Of course I can. As a member of Hikarigahara, there shouldn’t be anything I can’t do.”
She really can do anything. I can see why she is popular even among people of the same sex.
I usually do most of the cooking at home, so it had been a while since I had eaten someone else’s cooking. I felt a warmth from Ruri san’s cooking that I don’t feel when I cook for myself, and it made me feel a little more at ease.
“Rei kun, I was just guessing, and if I’m wrong, you can ignore it…did Honda kun says anything to you?”
I was about halfway through my meal when Ruri san asked me a question. I nodded my head. Was she an esper or something?
“I see. …..I don’t know if you know this, Rei kun, but there’s a rumor about Honda kun.”
“A rumor?”
“Yes. It’s rumored that he’s been preying on women behind the scenes, and that he’s involved in drinking and other things. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but the content of the story and what Rei kun says, I can’t believe it’s a lie. He’s a true scumbag.”
Ruri’s strong words make me fall silent. There was a slight sense of anger seeping into her dignified voice.
Ruri san continued to ask me questions.
“…..What do you think? Did you wanna take revenge on him after what you just heard?”
“…No, I’m afraid not.”
Why, she must be wondering.
“I’ve only heard from him, I haven’t heard anything from Ririko yet. I know it’s a pathetic hope. But until I hear it from her, I won’t do anything.”
Ruri san seemed somewhat satisfied with my words.
“I see. Well, then, I guess that’s all I can do for you now.”
“Thank you for going out of your way. …I didn’t ask you to do it though.”
Ruri san smiled at me. It was a smile that was rarely seen from her normally cold-hearted personality. There’s probably only one or two people who have seen it. I was happy that I was able to keep that smile to myself.
“By the way, Rei kun, about the bedroom…”
“Please go home.”
“G-go home !”
Rena and I forced Ruri san out, even though she was trying to stay.
