Volume 1 - CH 21

“Haahh………”

“What’s the matter~? Sen-pai.”

It’s Monday, school was over and I was currently at my part-time job.

Today Koyomi was very aggressive and therefore I was really tired. I could have refused to talk to her like I usually do, but I felt sorry for her and so I tried talking to her.

In addition, this Friday is going to be a problem for me.

“No, you seeー, I have to reject her on Friday……….and I was worrying about that……”

“Oh no! Kouyou-chan is going to be free!? I hope you don’t mind if I eat you!”

“You, so you were here……”

“Ehー! You’re such an asshole for dumping a girl~”

“There’s nothing particularly wrong with rejecting a girl right?”

“You’re at fault sen-pai.”

“UwahhーThat’s unreasonable….By the way, how do you reject someone so they are hurted as little as possible?”

“You are talking about the person who falsely confessed to you right? Why Senpai?”

“You’re too naive, Rumi-chan! That’s because that girl have truly fallen in love with Kouyou! Kouyou-chan is cool after all! And I’m sure she’ll confess again by the time one month passes, so Kouyou is currently lost about that!?”

“How did you know?”

“Muscles speak louder than words!”

“As expected of your insight(LOL)”

“Eh~, Isn’t it fine if you keep on dating her~”

“What do you mean by (LOL)!?”

“Even if you say that, I’m not in love with her you see…”

“I was ignored again!”

“If that’s the case, why don’t you just go right ahead? It’s their fault in the first place, isn’t it?”

“No, I do have some feelings for her….If possible I’d like to hurt her as little as possible…….”

“Am I useless now!?”

“And, is that different from love?”

“It’s different, this emotion of mine.”

“That’s a tough one~”

“No, I really don’t know what to do anymore…………”

“You should do what you think is right according to your feelings, and if it wasn’t good enough, you should just tell her how you’ve felt in the past month that you’ve been together with her?”

“Manager…….”

“Manager~………”

“Kenji-chan……..”

“””Gross”””

“Whyy!?”

“You see~ It’s impossible~it’s impossible to say it that honestlyー”

“Kenji-chan! You should just go home for today! You’re definitely sick! Saying upright things, it’s making the people around you feel grossed out!”

“…………….”

“Why! Even I would say something decent for once! I’ll at least play the role of an adult who’s always being teased, but suddenly turns serious when the situation calls for it, , helps children in distress, and is actually surprisingly popular!”

“That’s impossible for the manager. Just give up.”

“In the first place, what about your job~?”

“Hey, Rumi-chan! He is probably bored that no customers are coming! You shouldn’t ask that question! That’s a stupid question!”

“Nene-san, you ended up saying it on your own. You’re sticking a knife where it hurts. …………Haahh, I’ll be silent………”

“Well, setting aside Kenji-chan for now, that’s not a bad idea, what do you think Kouyou-chan!?”

“How do I feel during this past month, huh…………”

“Iーーー”

ーーーThe next day

Tuesday

“Fuahhh…….”

“Yo! You skipped an entire hour!”

“Good morning Akira, the first hour is physics right? I got full mark during the test so he shouldn’t have any complaints…”

“Ah! Good morning, Kouyou!”

“Good morning, Koyomi……..”

“Un! Today, won’t you go on a date with me!?”

“Well it’s fine I guess………..”

I was invited to a date by Koyomi. I don’t have any reason in particular to reject it, so there’s no problem………..

“Ahー, then is it okay if I accompany you both too?”

The one who uttered those words was Yumekawa.

“I’m fine with it but………you should ask Koyomi…”

“Eh, I’m fine with it too……”

“Okay, thank you~. Have you decided where we’re going?”

“Nnー, we haven’t decided it yetー”

“I see. Then do you want to go to a karaoke with everyone again?”

“Stop it, for real.”

“It’s just a jokeー, we don’t have enough time for that anyways. But I do have a place that I wanted to go toー”

“HeeーWhere is it?”

“The family restaurant where Kouyou works at.”

“Stop it. Seriously.”

“But this is not a joke thoughー. Koyomi want to go there too right?”

“Un!………Kouyou, can’t I?”

Koyomi asked me with sparkling eyes and daintily turned her head.

Uーn. This is quite a mellow look.

“……Haahh………….It’s fine I guess……”

“Hoorayー!”

Uu………..

If I’m not mistaken, Rumi-chan and Nene-san is on shift today…….

I have a bad feeling about this……..
