When I Go Back in Time, My Ex-wife Is Making a Passionate Approach to Me, and I’m Having Trouble With It
After breakfast, we leave the house for school.
It seems that Kyoka will be coming to school with me starting today.
“I can’t believe I’m going to have to wear this uniform again.”
“You don’t really feel it, do you?
“I guess so. I’m back to my high school days, but my mental age is still 30. It feels strange.”
When I first went back in time, I was confused.
“I see, that means I’m a virgin again.”
“What are you talking about?”
“It’s true though? I am a virgin at this point.”
“Don’t say such a thing without any shame.”
“You’re a virgin too, right?”
“……, yes, but…”
Kyoka and I could have this kind of conversation without hesitation. I was like a male friend. I’m sure that’s why I didn’t think much of Kyoka as a member of the opposite gender
“Then there is a chance for me to get Ryo’s first time, isn’t there?”
“You won’t.”
“You don’t have to be shy. I’m going to have it when I get married anyway.”
I think Kyoka had a little more shame when she was in high school. Apparently, the higher her mental age, the more endurance she has for the lower end of the spectrum.
When we arrived at school, I thought Kyoka was in a different class and we would be separated, but for some reason she followed me to my classroom.
“Why are you following me?”
“Hmm? I just wanted to say hello.”
“Hellp?”
“Like a declaration of war?”
I shudder at my childhood friend who started to say something disturbing. Standing beside Haruka, who was already at school, she looked at him with a smile.
“Good morning. Umm…”
Haruka had no contact with Kyouka during their high school days. However, Haruka knew about Kyouka, a girl who was often around me.
“She’s my childhood friend Kyoka. She’s following me.”
“Good morning, Kurosaki-san. It’s nice to meet you. I’m Kazanashi Kyoka. I’ve decided to join the literature club too, so I’m here to say hello.”
“I see. It’s nice to meet you too.”
“Also, Kurosaki-san and I are going to be rivals.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m also aiming for Ryo.”
There was a brief silence. Haruka looked stunned, but then she stiffened her face and looked at Kyouka.
“I see. Then we are enemies.”
“That’s what I meant. That’s why you don’t have to be friends with me.”
Kyoka apparently has no desire to be friends with Haruka either.
“You know what? Childhood friends have a higher chance of becoming the losing heroine.”
“Ryo told me what happened. I heard he got divorced in the future.”
The two of them were already going at it. The boys in the class complain about the female fights that have started.
“Why is Shinohara the only one?”
It’s understandable that they would want to complain. If I were a boy on the other side of the world, I would probably want to die when I saw a man being pursued by two beautiful girls.
But the reality is that I’m still a lazy bastard who can’t come to a conclusion. Haruka has already told me that she will wait until she graduates from high school. But I don’t feel comfortable making her wait that long. If we can come to a conclusion, we should do so as soon as possible.
“Even if we get divorced in the future, it was me that Ryo chose. So I know he will choose me again.”
“That’s a great confidence. You should just step aside like a grown-up since you will fail again anyway.”
“I am not the future me. I won’t fail.”
The two of them are arguing, and it’s time to stop it. I intervene and say to Kyoka
“Kyoka, it’s time for homeroom. Go back to your classroom.”
“I can’t help it. I’ll see you after school.”
“Kyoka then leaves the classroom.”
“Why……didn’t Kazanashi-san get dumped ……?”
Haruka was grumbling something.
“That’s unusual for Haruka to be so openly hostile.”
“For a woman, a love rival is a clear enemy. Especially if it’s the person closest to you.”
“For me, Haruka was the closest person of the opposite s*x. Kyoka is more like a male friend.”
“If you tell her that, she’ll cry.”
“No way. I think she’d be happy about it.”
“You don’t understand women’s feelings too well. Do you think there are girls who would be happy to be called like a man by someone they like?”
Haruka is on Kyoka’s shoulder. She is angry at me as a fellow woman.
“But on the other hand, I won’t be hiding anything from Kyouka.”
“I envy you a little bit in that relationship too.”
Haruka let out a sigh as she said this.
“You and I aren’t friends, are we?”
“We’re not friends?”
“I’d be offended if you called us friends. I am seriously in love with you.”
I thought I could be friends with Haruka, but I was naive.
“I’m not going to be your friend. Only your girlfriend and your wife will be.”
“Why are you so determined to be my wife ……?”
“Because I can’t think of anyone else but you.”
“You’re still in high school, so you should have a broader perspective. This is advice from an adult.”
Haruka glared at me and turned her face away. It seems that I have offended her.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry I acted like an adult.”
“Yeah. You and I are the same age.”
I suppose it would be annoying if a classmate acted like an adult and lectured me. I scratched my head with a wry smile.
“So, are you going to walk to and from school together with Kyouka san from now on?”
I was wondering if she was interested, she asked, glancing at me.
“Even if I refuse, Kyoka will probably follow me on her own.”
“I envy her.”
“Let’s go home together.”
“I guess so.”
The morning would be difficult, but on the way home, the time would be right and we could leave for school together. But it was the first time, including the time when we were married, that I saw Haruka jealous of Kyoka. It was a new experience for me, and it brought an indescribable feeling to my heart.
