Chapter 13 (Koyomi’s POV from the first half)

【Koyomi’s POV】

This is weird….No, this is really weird.

On that day, when I was saved by Kouyou from Sakai, I completely fell for Kouyou.

And then, from that day on to today, I have been actively talking to him for the past 10 days.

But the more I talked to him, the less interested he seemed to be in me.

First of all, I can’t speak to him at school.

He is always emitting the do not approach me aura.

Nevertheless whenever I called out to him, he gave me a glare.

Even so Akira and Ena are still talking to him, but I can’t possibly do that.

After all, I was glared at by the person I like, you know? It’s scary.

He won’t reply to my RINE messages after 9pm, leaving that aside even if I sent the messages before 9pm, when the time comes he forcefully ended the conversation by saying he’s going to sleep.

No, recently even that time has became 8pm, when it’s faster it’s 7:30 pm before he sent a message saying he’s going to sleep.

I sent him a message asking if he would like to go on a  date on the weekend. When I sent it, he said that he would go if he could. But, that just means you aren’t coming right!!?

Even yesterday too, what are you doing during lunch breakー? When I sent this, 『I’m going to take an afternoon nap, good night』is what he replied back with. Cruel. This is just too cruel.

Just now too, won’t you go back home with me from tomorrow onwards? When I sent this, 『I’m bad at matching my pace with someone else’s from the morning so it might be impossible for me. Good night』is what he replied with.

Aahh, I feel like crying……

Does he really like me?

But he got angry for me…………..

This is no good, no good. Don’t be discouraged, do your best!

Come to think of it, tomorrow is just before the start of the one week test examination period. Since Kouyou is smart, why don’t I ask him to teach me………..Fuhuhuhuhu

Yosh, I’m going to ask him immediately tomorrow!

◇◇◇◇◇

【Kouyou’s POV】

“Eh? Today?”

“That’s right, why don’t we study together? I have parts that I don’t really understand….Kouyou is smart right? I would like you to teach me.”

“I see…”

Morning, during the one break period between lessons, Koyomi proposed a study group.

But, this troubles me……

I basically just sleep in class and don’t usually do my homework, so I don’t know anything at all. Up until now I’ve managed it by cramming just before the test, my intention was to study from today too this time but………

The me right now wouldn’t be able to teach her anything, and even if I study I could only make progress by studying myself while listening to some music.

Hmm, this is bad………..

Ah! But knowing what you don’t understand is just an excuse……

“In that case, why don’t you ask Hirayama? If I’m not mistaken, she is the top student in our grade right? I think it is much better that way……”

“Eh, uhh………she said she wanted to study alone so he refused…”

“Then, mus………..how about Manamoto? He is smart right? He was in the single digit ranking if I am not mistaken……”

“Eh, Umm…………..he refused for the same reason…”

“I see… then me too, the reason is I want to study by myself. I’m sorry.”

Well, if 2 people have already refused for the same reason, there isn’t any problem for me to do the same right….

“Eh!? No……………….isn’t that too cruel!?‘

“Ehー”

Well, I can’t do that as expected huh…….

What Koyomi wanted to say was basically that she wanted to study with her boyfriend for the test.

Even if this is just a punishment game, it doesn’t seem like she hates me, it’s not that I don’t understand the feeling of longing for something like that.

There is even the possibility that the duration of the false confession is extended.

In that case, then the thing about her friends refusing her earlier was a lie……then she should’ve just said so from the beginning.

In other words, it seems that Koyomi just wanted to study with me for the exams.

I have been pretty cold to her recently too, it can’t be helped I guess…………

“Okay, I understand……”

“Really!? Thank you very much!”

“But, I’m the type to cram just before the test, I don’t know anything right now. That’s why if there’s something you don’t understand, I’m going to teach you during the next recess. I’m going to look at my textbook during the class and study.”

“Th-, Thank you…”

She smiles and says thank you to me while her face is red with embarrassment.

Well, this is the standard thing to do for lovers…

It’s fine once in a while, I guess…

“You are welcome.”

I smiled in return.

Then she went back to her seat, with her face dyed in red.

I see………..

So this is what it means to be lovers………..

This seems annoying……….
