Chapter 177: What Happens, happen!

It was currently lunchtime, Kyle decided to talk to Kyōka, since he noticed that she was avoiding him, he better talk it out.

Before Kyōka could go anywhere, he approached her and said, "Hey, can I have some of your time?"

"A-ah, wait." She was a bit startled when he suddenly approached her, then she asked her friends to go first without her, then they understood and left without her.

After her friends, she shifted her attention toward Kyle, then she asked while twirling her hair.

"S-so umm...what is it?"

"Well, I noticed that you kept avoiding me for quite some time now." He said.

"Ah? Y-yeah about that…" Before she could finish her sentence, Kyle interrupted and said.

"Is it because I refused your mother's proposal?"

"No! Of course not!" Kyōka strongly denied his claims.

Kyle was surprised, he was sure that she was avoiding him because of that, however, if it wasn't the case then, what is it?

"Then, what is it then?"

"Can I not tell?"

"Nope, you have to."

Kyōka sighs and smiles wryly. "I knew you'd say that a-anyway the reason I'm avoiding you is..is...I lost confidence in myself…"

"Ha? You lost confidence in what?" He looked at her confusedly.

"I-i realized that I'm too weak when Chō almost defeated you, It made me want to be strong...s-so I-i wasn't avoiding you but it k-kinda just happened…"

"...You know your reason doesn't make sense.."

"I know! That's why I didn't want to talk about it!"

"Whatever, I'm just a bit worried you know, I thought your reason for avoiding me is at least reasonable, but it isn't." He shook his head.

Kyōka didn't want to continue this topic, then she said. "Aside from that! W-what should we do with 'our' relationship?"

A huge question mark appeared above Kyle, he didn't understand what she meant by their 'Relationship'?

Before he could ask, Kyōka continued while blushing. "You know…? We started g-going out right?"

"Hm? Hmmm?" His face became blank, it's like he's having a facial error, he couldn't fully process what she said.

Going out? Did he perhaps have amnesia? Why couldn't he remember the process? No no, we all know that's impossible, so what exactly did she..?

A moment later, it was like lightning strikes inside his body, he realized that it happened at the school sports festival, he did indeed refuse Kyōka's mother's proposal, but there is one thing that he forgot to fix.

It was the dating stuff! Now that he remembers it, his face became stiff, he forgot to handle it!

Now Kyōka is under the impression of them dating!

Kyōka's face became redder as time passed, thinking that she and her crush are dating now makes her extremely happy even though she knows she wasn't the only one, but she was more than satisfied.

Kyle was also in the wrong since Kyōka waited for Kyle to deny that what her mother said about dating back in the festival is nothing more than an empty word, although she was prepared for the worst, nothing happened in the end, Kyle didn't deny that they should start dating.

So she thought he accepted her mother's proposal first rather than getting engaged, and right now she misunderstood Kyle's silence as him admitting that they are dating, she was so happy that she felt like her heart was going to explode at any moment now.

Finally, Kyle had been brought back to reality, he spoke. "Hey, Kyōka about that…"

"Yes?" Kyōka looked at him with a bright smiling expression.

Seeing her like that, he couldn't bear to say that it was just a misunderstanding and they weren't dating. He knew exactly what would happen if he told her the truth, after a moment of deciding he replied.

"Nothing." He thought that they would end up together anyway in the future, right now he felt like he was a pokemon master catching pokemon, but it doesn't matter anymore, as he declared from before what happened, happens!

"Nothing?"

"Yeah, nothing sigh* Anyway, you can go to the cafeteria with your friends now." He said.

Kyōka stayed at her spot, Kyle looked at her with a questioning expression, he wondered why she was still here, then she said.

"H-hey, Kyle can we go together to the cafeteria instead?" Kyōka stared at him with a hopeful expression, she wanted the two of them to go to the cafeteria to eat together!

Kyle scratches his head, he already had a bento, needless to say, there was no need for him to go to the cafeteria since it would waste his time, however, he will give today a special exception.

"Alright, so are we going?"

"Yes!" Kyōka said happily.

After they both went to the cafeteria, many of the girls in the school were looking at them with jealous expressions, since both of them were flirting on their way to the cafeteria, since they were now dating Kyle decided not to hold back anymore.

Time quickly passed by, it was already afternoon, usually, he would already go straight to his shift but right now, he was looking for Meru because he needed her help. He could do this himself but he was too lazy to do it by himself.

This wasn't just for him, this was also for Meru, since he knew her for quite a while, she was someone who wanted to make a godly game that would be recorded in history, this was her chance of making a game that would go down in history!

So, in essence, he was helping her, rather than she helping him, it didn't take him long enough to find her at school, she was in the PC room, playing a classic game, from the looks of it, she was at the last boss, so he didn't interrupt her, since he knew that feeling of being interrupted while in the moment of climax

A few minutes later, she raised her hand above the air and exclaimed. "Yeah! I finally beat the current world record of this game! Haha, it was tiring but fulfilling!".

Meru had a bright smile hanging on her face, then she said. "So, what do you want Kyle?"

She had already long notice that Kyle was watching her from behind, she might not look like it, she is a true expert, so it wasn't hard for her to notice a person's presence even though she wasn't watching, only few could truly hide from her sensor, but Kyle wasn't hiding even planning to hide so that's why she could feel his presence easily.

"Look, I need your help."

"Oh, is that so?" Meru said with a flat tone.

"....Are you mad at me?" He instantly noticed her sour mood.

"I'm not."

"No, clearly you are."

"I'm not, I'm just irritated honestly...you've never looked for me unless you needed something, and besides I haven't talked to you ever since the last school festival." Meru pouted at him, she felt like she had the right to be a little toward him, in the past few days she'd been trying to contact him but he hasn't even answered.

And at school, when she tries to talk to him, he would say. "No, not now something I have to do."

Meru was hurt when he said that to her, if it wasn't for the fact that she was in love with him, she would have already cut ties with him, but since he was the man that she first loved, she couldn't bear to hate him, so it was reasonable for her to be a little mad with him.

Kyle remembered his actions from before, and he had to admit that it was quite rude, he wasn't trying to hurt her or anything, he just happened to use the wrong words at the wrong time, but he had to admit that he had been neglecting her.

"I...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that, I was insensitive at that time, so forgive me." He smiled bitterly, he needed to learn from his mistake, so that he could avoid this situation.

Meru stopped pouting, however, just to be sure, she said. "Are you being genuine?"

"Yeah…"

"Alright, then! Don't do that again geez…!" Meru smiled, while looking at him with tender eyes, even if it wasn't genuine hearing those very words from his mouth is already enough for her to forgive him, heck even if Kyle only said. "My bad."

She would have easily forgiven him, love was like that, one would become a blind fool.

Then, she continued.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

"We can't do it here, let's go to your apartment so that you can prepare. "

"Eh…?" Meru's face slowly turned crimson.
