CH 3

Right now, I’m with two beautiful women under the blue sky on the stylish terrace of my favorite cafe. 　

I am enjoying a very luxurious time…

It’s so luxurious that I feel like I’m about to burst my inner capacity… 　

“Hey, hey, do you come here often, Otsuka? ”  　

“I guess I do….how about Harukaze?”  　

“No, this is my first time! Right, Sō-chan!”     

Kanna, I’m sorry, but I want you to shut your mouth for now. 　

I won’t say anything about the customary flapping of your feet under the chair when you eat something good. 　

Well, the chairs here seem okay because it’s sturdy….. 　

But please shut your mouth for the time being. 　

I can’t feel the taste of my normally sweet and sour smoothie…

“You’re eating that for the first time? “

“Yes. Sō-chan ordered it for me. It’s super delicious.”

“Wow…” 　

Karen, what’s that look in your eyes? Stop it. 　

I know the meaning of her eyes as she sits in front of me. 　

That’s why I can’t meet her eyes as she stares at me deeply. 　

Because that is the look she gave me when she questioned me about my affair right after I switched my body with Todo. 　

At that time, of course I didn’t know what she was talking about, and I didn’t feel any guilt, so I could keep a firm attitude. 　

Now I feel a certain amount of guilt…

Yes, I do. 　

I don’t think I did anything wrong, but somehow I feel guilty…     

Why is the weather so nice today?

It’s almost evening, but it’s still clear and sunny.     

It was raining until yesterday, but there is no sign of it.     

Well, there’s no point in lamenting the weather.     

I don’t expect rain anymore, and It doesn’t matter. 　

Besides, she won’t know. 　

Yes. After all, it’s impossible under normal circumstances. 　

She’s smart in spite of her appearance. She’s not the kind of girl who thinks such unrealistic things. 　

But she’s not so stupid… she must think that there was something wrong with this situation…. 　

I never expect I’ll order this set of my usual back menu in front of her… 　

“So-chan did a lot of research on the net. We’re a first-timer, but we’re ready to go here from now on! “     

Ka, Kanna… 　

You’re really… I know you don’t mean any offense, but seriously…

“I see…But I don’t think there’s much information about this place on the net. And besides, this food and drink are on the back menu. It’s not even supposed to be on the main menu. What do you mean by net? “

“What?  A back menu?  There is no information on the Internet?  Hmm, is that so?  Sō-chan?”          

Damn, I knew it…      

Well, there’s nothing else to do but this. Let’s give it a shot.

“Uh, oh, yes, that’s right. It’s not online. Actually, my sister told me about the menu. My sister told me not to tell too many people, so I lied to Kanna. Actually, when I think about it, it seems like a weird lie that didn’t make sense to anyone. I’m sorry.”

“Oh, so your sister told you. So that’s how it is. That makes sense!” 　

It was a rather painful excuse that even I didn’t really understand, but for some reason, she agreed with me? 　

As expected of Kanna. That’s what I like about you. 　

Did I succeed? 　

I guess she doesn’t comment anything to me about this excuse. 　

Well, I felt her eyebrows twitch at my words somehow, but I guess it was just my imagination. 　

Let’s hope it’s only my imagination.

“But it’s really delicious, Sō-chan, Here open your mouth, ahh!” 

“No, I don’t like it. Kanna. Stop it!”     

And you really shouldn’t. Kanna. 　

You’re a little out of your element today, hey. 　

“Well, that’s not the case… isn’t it. Of course not….Gosh, I’m a little out of my mind.” 　

What? 　

And then, in front of me, she quietly put the same vegetable tart in her mouth. 　

To tell the truth, it is probably the first time I have seen such a sad expression on her face. 　

Because she always smiles when I meet her here. 　

She actually has a really beautiful smile… 　

Karen….. 　

What in the world happened to her… 　

As expected, I could not smile with Kanna in front of such a Karen… 　

Although I’m in a different body now, I used to be her boyfriend….     

And later on, as Sota Kazama, I’m going to get into trouble with Karen because of this. 　

Of course, I don’t know right now.     

Otsuka Karen is an incredibly perceptive woman.     

I, who had spent a few months with her, have known it best…
