CH 138

First let me say that I hate Ryuuzaki.

So I'm not worried about him. I don't care what happens to him. I don't care if he is unhappy or in pain.

But as for the girls who loved that guy, that's another matter.

We don't have much of a relationship anymore, and it's not like I'm going to do anything for them.

Still, I still don't want to see these women unhappy.

If possible, I wish them happiness.

For that to happen, Ryuzaki has to work harder, but I still didn't see any signs of that because ...... that guy is an asshole.

It's the same now.

He knows the girls are worried about him, but he ignores them and keeps to himself. A word to the girls would have made them feel a little better, but I'm sure Ryuzaki didn't do that.

He's a self-serving person.

He can never learn to care for others.

That's why he can only see things with dogmatic prejudices all the time.

If he could have a bird's eye view like Mary, or he could develop a better romantic comedy, ...... Ryoma Ryuzaki's awakening is hard to come by.

That guy is really slow to make decisions. Probably because the heroines around him helped him without doing anything, he is not strong enough to think for himself.

That's why the protagonist's peculiar "awakening" is slow.

He's such a pathetic person that he can't do anything without a girls help.

I know he's probably been in a huff and refusing to go to school ever since he lost to me at the festival, but ...... I hope he's had enough.

What's the need to be depressed about losing to someone like me?

You lost to me, so get excited and work harder.

Kirari did, remember? You could have taken a new step to look back at me, you know?

Hey, Ryuzaki ...... what about you?

When in the world are you going to step forward?

It's already December.

More than a month has passed since the festival.

I felt the period of time was too long, even if it was to be indulged in.

That's when that guy finally came back.

["......, Nakayama"]

Moreover, he appeared in front of me after school.

[ "Ryuzaki......"」

The location was outside the school gate. I was returning home with Shiho, when I saw Ryuzaki was waiting for me.

「~Tsu…」

It seems that Shiho is still not good with Ryuzaki. The moment she saw him, she stepped back to keep her distance.

「Kuku... Shiho, I'm sorry for showing up. But I have something to talk to Nakayama, so can I have a minute?」

Seeing Shiho like that, Ryuzaki laughed.

The look on his face made me uncomfortable.

（Hmm? "Why are you being so servile?")

Ryuzaki was a confident man, for better or worse.

Conceited and arrogant, that's why his smile was always fearless...but now it doesn't look like that at all.

It was the kind of smile that someone like me before I met Shiho, who had no confidence in himself at all, would smile.

Something is not quite right.

「......Nakayama, I'm going home first. Don't be too reckless, okay?」

Shiho must have sensed something too. She left the place with such words of concern. I guess she's really not good with Ryuzaki. ...... She's running away without hesitation.

「"Shiho is as cute as ever. ...... I envy you Nakayama. I wish I could have been adored like that. You're such a great guy to be liked by such a nice girl".]

「Huh?」

I don't understand the meaning of being praised all of a sudden.

I am not at all happy to be praised by the person hate.

「"You, what's wrong with you?　You're disgusting. ...... If you have something to say, say it fast".]

I was frustrated.

I was angry at Ryuzaki's uncharacteristic behavior.

In general, why did he show up in front of me?

There would have been other people he should have met.

There are plenty of harem members waiting for your return, you know?

How can you ignore all of these thoughts ...... it still didn't make sense to me.

「"Yeah, that's right. I'm the only one who can take up Nakayama's time, which is something that shouldn't happen".]

Ryuzaki remained sneering.

He said this to me with a self-mocking, distorted smile on his face.

「"Until now, I'm sorry... A mob character like me shouldn't have come up against Nakayama. I'm really sorry"]

Ryuzaki was livid.

He was trying to put me in a good mood by bowing to me.

「huh~」

The way he did it, I almost punched him in the face.

I don't think ...... He's lying, do I?

I know you were in shock when Mary dumped you.

I understand that he is depressed because he was rejected by two people in a row after Shiho.

But, just because of that, Ryuzaki had lost all his confidence.

What a fragile human being... This guy suddenly became servile and thought of himself as a shabby existence.

In other words, the man who was the harem hero-sama was now ...... making himself a 'mob character'.

It was very unpleasant–
