Volume 1 - CH 70

“Koyomi……..and Iseda.”

When I went to meet them in front of the school in the morning, Koyomi and Iseda were already there.

“Yosh! Let’s go then, Kouyou!”

“Aah.”

Come to think of it, this is the first time that we came to school together.

Nonetheless, Koyomi’s face looks tense and she doesn’t feel like she is enjoying it.

◇

I stood in front of the classroom’s door.

I look at Koyomi who is right beside me.

“Koyomi, are you okay?”

“Un, I’m fine! Well then, let’s go……..!”

With that, Koyomi opens the door to the classroom.

As soon as it is opened, the eyes of the class are immediately drawn to it……………

“””They’re here!””

Everyone shouted in unison.

“Koyomi-chan, is this true?”

“Tachibana!”

“Are you guys really temporary lovers!?”

“Why do you confess falsely!?”

“Did you know this and kept quiet!?”

“Why is it Kiyama-kun!?”

“Is it true that you have just been messing around!?”

I have expected this but I was really bombarded with questions.

“Look, I’ve told you so. They won’t even give you time to explain………..”

“It’s alright. I wasn’t planning on making excuses from the very beginning.”

Koyomi replies to Iseda.

Or rather, to say that you weren’t planning on making excuses…..

“The thing about the false confession, it is true!”

“”Ehh.””

Koyomi answered with a loud voice.

“It couldn’t be helped if you guys think that I was just playing around!”

“Why is it Kiyama!?”

“In the first place, why do you even falsely confess!?”

“There was no deep reason in me choosing Kouyou!”

“Then you don’t have to lie about it! Wasn’t it fine if he already accepted the confession!?”

“So basically, you just wanted to go out with someone right!?”

“Something like that!”

“””………………?”””

“It’s something like that! I thought Kouyou would be a good choice! I can’t tell you the details of how it happened. But if I was going to do it I thought it would have to be Kouyou! Kouyou doesn’t seem like he had any interest in me, so I thought it would be convenient!”

“Ho-, how about now!?”

“That’s right! Kiyama already know that it was a false confession right!?”

“Then why!? Are you guys truly a couple now!?”

“We are still temporary lovers for now…..!”

“””………………”””

“But! We promised that it would be real!”

“Then why are you guys still temporary lovers!?”

“It’s because……….I love Kouyou!”

“””………………”””

“It’s because I like Kouyou that I always want to be with him………I persuaded him not to leave me even though it was unreasonable! So we decided to continue being lovers, even if its just a temporary one…….”

“””……………”””

“I’ll admit that I’ve rejected boys before for all sorts of reason, lying to them without considering their feelings. But……!”

“Baka! It’s not as if we are angry!”

Just as Koyomi was about to talk, another boy’s voice interrupted her.

“Eh?”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

“Well, it was a little shocking though!”

“UnUn. I just wished it was me!”

“Kiyama-kun was cool lately that it was somewhat vexingー!”

“That’s why!”

“If you are going to apologise to us using honorific language…!?”

“”It’s troubling us!””

They all speak softly and calmly, with no particular anger in their tone.

“Well, in actuality. Just seeing Tachibana is enough to know that she has fallen deeply in love with Kouyou.”

“Kiyama-kun also seems like the type where you can’t leave him alone too!”

“Even in the hypothetical case that Tachibana were to try to confess to another person besides Kiyama, it would have been impossible!”

“Rightーrightー, it was just meant to be!?”

“Everyone………..”

“When we were talking badly about Koyomi, Kouyou also defended you.”

“UnUn, that surprised meー”

“There was this impression that he was really watching over Koyomi”

“Tachibana have been staring at Kouyou during class and recess too much too!”

“And you were grinning so much during those times!”

“Kiyama doesn’t know since he is sleeping but she was already warned by the teachers several times!”

“You also stopped a molester during the school festival once right!?”

“That was really coolー!”

“He kicked him when that person became violent after all.”

Somehow……..this is embarrassing.

“Kouyou!”

“Akira……….”

Akira comes out and called out to me

“At first I thought, “What’s going to happen? I thought people would be angry. But you know what, everyone saw it. They were watching you more than you expected. I mean, each and every one of them might be shocked. But at least there is no one here who wants to become a hindrance………….”

“Akira……….”

“Isn’t that right!? Everyone!?”

“””Yeahhh!”””

“Fufu, that’s why. It’s alright. In the first place, the one who was in the wrong was us who suggested the false confession in the first place right?”

“Right, it’s because of us, I’ll explain it to everyone later and apologize………..I’m sorry, the both of you.”

“Yumekawa………..”

“That’s why, Kouyou! Don’t be such a wimp, just go and settle this like usual! With that Iseda bastard!”

“Aah………I understand. Thank you…….”

And so, I look towards Koyomi. Koyomi looked at my eyes and nodded silently.

“Iseda…………….It’s the usual thing. Come with me.”

“……………I got it…………….”

Author’s Note:

It will finally be resolved in the next issue.

As everyone thought, their fears were unfounded.

Well, partly because they were only classmates.
