CH 35

”Hey, hey… “

W-what are you seriously doing here…

What are you really doing? You guys are starting to make some noise around here, guys.

”Haa? What’s wrong with you? Actually, he and I have been together for a long time! What does this have to do with Saionji?”

”What on earth are you talking about? Otsuka, you were dating Renya Todo, weren’t you? Have you lost your mind? I wish you wouldn’t drag him into this.”

Right now, I see a maiko in white paint and a kimono arguing with a gal in a stylish uniform…

Two beautiful women fighting in the crowded but calm atmosphere of Gion?

It’s an unusual scene that stands out from any angle.

How could they not stand out?

A few minutes after they met, this is what happened, and I’m in no condition to stop it… I tried to stop it. I tried, but I couldn’t. Look, I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.

”Don’t let a stranger interfere with our relationship. It’s really annoying! It’s really none of your business.”

”Yes, it does. Because he’s confessed to me many times. And the guy who confessed to me is walking around with another woman. Isn’t this a problem? I can’t keep quiet!”

”Yes? Renya’s the one who confessed to you over and over again, not him, right? I know that. I know that he tried to touch you many times! Are you crazy for mistaking someone else? “

Why are you both so heated up?

And there’s something wrong with what you’re both saying… I mean, I’m Kazama. Hey.

And especially Sayaka, this is too unlike you.

You’re supposed to be always calm and collected, so why are you like this?

Well, even if I don’t concede, I can already tell Sayaka is aware of our switch. I should have been convinced by the time I read the manga, but either way, it’s uncovered…

However, that doesn’t explain why Sayaka is arguing with Karen here and now.

Why?

It’s as if Sayaka is also arguing because of me.

”Eh? What are you saying, Sayaka? Why are you and Otsuka arguing like this? “

”It’s not like you, Sayaka. What should I do? You two are completely crazy. What should we do? Hey, what should we do, Akane? She’s crazy. They’re both crazy.”

Yes, you’re right. First of all, this situation is weird.

As you can see, even Sayaka’s friends, the two wearing white paint, looked completely dumbfounded at this scene…

What’s that? Hmm? 　

Did I just hear that they are completely blind to their surroundings?

Uh, indeed.

My hand is completely out of her hand too.

Oh, that? This, this situation… Good…

I’m sorry to tell you both, but my life is on the line.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to leave now.

This is my only chance.

They don’t even know I’m already this far away.

Yes, I can do it. Just keep going and turn that corner slowly…

When you can’t see them anymore, then it’s safe…

Yes, I made it. I’ve made it.

And at such good timing, a green bus, the so-called city bus, is about to leave.

”Ah, I’ll get on!”

I dashed as fast as I could. But, no. It closed. Uh, It’s opened again…

It’s waiting for me.

Oh, lucky. Usually, I’m too late in these cases.

What’s wrong? Suddenly I’m being lucky.

”Whew. ….. Thank you very much.”

Well, I made it.

I feel like I’ve already gotten into many weird things under the circumstances.

For now, I should be thankful to be away from there and to go to Kanna’s place.

Thank goodness. I can barely make it on time by getting on this bus.

It’s the bus that takes me to the destination plane.

What’s wrong? How did I get so lucky all of a sudden?

No, I don’t care because I’m saved.

The bus doors are closed. ……

Huh? What? Why isn’t it closing? I’m on it, aren’t I?

No, please close it quickly…

”Yes. Watch your step. The doors are closing.”

?

The door closed… Why?

I mean, the bus waited for both of us… Is that it?

”Kazami’s surprisingly fast, isn’t he? Oh, no, it’s Kazama, isn’t it? I guess I was wrong before. I’m sorry! I was wrong, so forgive me. “

What do you mean?

Why is Hirose here?

And why are you sitting so naturally in the seat next to mine, as if it’s a matter of course?

? And why are you alone? 　

What is going on?

My head’s hurting… again.

”So, where do you think you’re going, Kazama? You’re in such a hurry.”

”What? “
