Volume 3 - CH 30.1

I Was ‘Attacked’ By My Crazy Best Friend (Part 1)

It’s been a few days since I left that store.

Right now, I’m in the Dogeza position.

In front of me is Kurusu-san, sitting in a chair with cold eyes while looking down at me.

“Do you have any excuse?…”

“Let’s see… Actually, there are deeper circumstances than the ocean I’m going through now…So let’s talk this later”

“Talk to me, right now.”

My instincts are telling me I’m in danger, as she looks at me like she is going to kill me with just a glance.

This is bad, very bad.

If I honestly tell her everything, my life will be at an end.

But if I lie and she finds out the truth later, it will be the end of me.

Either way, I’m in a bad situation.

I don’t think I can choose any option between these two.

I have no choice but to…

“That’s …”

“….In order to escape from the ex-girlfriend, are you staying at Hishinuma’s place, and to thank her, you brought her to that restaurant for a drink?

“That’s right.”

Then, I left out the essentials and tried to tell a story that is a mixture of facts and what seems like a story.

The story made sense and there is no room for doubt.

But Kurusu-san’s eyes still continued to look the same as before.

“I’m not convinced…”

“Eh? Why?…”

What is it that you don’t agree with?

I try to give her the facts, but is there something fishy or inadequate about it?

“I mean… Why that woman?… If she’s going to be staying with you, why can’t I stay with you?…”

I see, that’s it.

In other words, she didn’t like that I chose Hishinuma-san, my senior, to consult with instead of my best friend Kurusu-san.

What cute jealousy.

As a good friend, I am flattered that she cares for me so much.

“I’m sorry, Kurusu-san. I’ll ask you to help me next time, can you forgive me?”

I get down on my knees and apologize honestly.

It’s better to apologize sincerely, so that my feelings can be conveyed and there will be no regrets.

Above all, she’s my best friend.

I’m sure she’ll understand how I feel.

“… I will never forgive you.”

Oh, no! She didn’t get it!

I thought we were best friends!

Maybe I’m not apologizing enough?

If that’s the case, I’ll have to apologize by smashing my head so hard that my forehead bleeds.

No, that will be too much for me.

When I’m wondering what to do, Kurusu-san puffed out his cheeks and said,

“If you don’t call me by my first name, I won’t forgive you…”

Kurusu-san’s face turns a little red.

How cute. As expected of my best friend.

But if you ask me, it will be lonely to call her by not her first name when she is my best friend.

“All right, Mone. Can you forgive me for this?”

“Hmmm…I’ll forgive you if you go on a date with me.”

Thinking that calling her by her first name, I will be forgiven.

But if she can forgive me, it’s a small price to pay to go on a date with her.

“…Okay. Let’s go on a date.

… I promise.”

The scary face she had just shown me is now replaced by a gentle smile.

Thank God, I’m forgiven somehow.

I’m safe for the time being.

I thought so, but…
