Chapter 1889 Sachi's Situation

As sneakily as possible to not get noticed by anyone else, Sachi and I moved to where I pointed her. Nonetheless, the scenery didn’t change much at all. We’re still in the middle of the woods with only a little sunlight shining down to brighten the place.

Sachi didn’t comment on that and simply looked around her. Finding how neat it was, she turned to me with a questioning look, “Onoda-kun, won’t you quit being this capable? I’m loosening my reason to be doubtful.”

“Hmm? What are you talking about?”

I blinked my eyes a few times, acting oblivious to what she was talking about. But well, what she’s doubtful about was probably still my willingness to spend time with her rather than go to my girls.

Her walls are crumbling. Most likely, she expected me to not put too much thought into this. Or just like our previous encounters, I’d just take her words at face value before pushing it to the back of my head.

But then again, this is normal when she’s not really following me closely like Kanzaki or Komoe. She had no idea that I normally acted like this around girls.

And if I looked back to the most recent instance when I was alone with somebody else other than my girls, I could point to Watanabe. When that girl helped me out cleaning the room for the Disciplinary Committee, I was also mindful of how I acted. Still overly considerate even though I kind of spooked her out.

“This... It’s not like this earlier. I don’t know if my memory is jumbled but. it’s cleaner, I think?” Sachi answered, pointing in front of us. Specifically, the whole place.

“Oh. You think? Maybe I cleaned it up. Who knows?” I put on a teasing smile which immediately made her fume.

Frustrated, Sachi nudged my shoulder by bumping her forehead on it. Then, as her weight transferred to me, she grabbed onto the hem of my shirt.

“This is why I said quit being so capable. No wonder girls cannot help but fall for you.”This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Yep. Her misconception was still that high. In any case, there’s a bit of truth in it. My girls loved how I acted around them. Most of the time, my priority was for them to enjoy their time first and foremost.

For Sachi to also point this out... then that just further added to the proof of what Arisa said. That I’m too considerate to everyone and it’s one of the factors why they’ll eventually fall into my clutches.

It happened with Izumi. No. It’s not just with her, it really happened with everyone including Ayu and even Yayoi-san. Or most recently, with Shiina and Sara.

“Does that apply to you as well?” I eventually replied, keeping the same tone I used earlier.

Sachi didn’t answer instantly but instead, she continued bumping her forehead on my arm. Once again, that part of her head gradually turned red. I mean, even if her forehead was hard, she was hitting my well-built muscles. I could feel a slight pain from it but that’s all.

As I was about to stop her, Sachi raised her head and pouted, “... Don’t ask me about that. What would you do if I said yes?”

“Nothing. What good will it do? Will you be happy that I made a move on you just because I became aware that you’re slowly falling for me?”

“Are those the only choices? Uh... Then maybe. You see, I’ve been close to someone once but I didn’t believe that we were in a relationship. Neither did he.”

“Close to someone. A best friend or a childhood friend?”

“Un. Something like that.”

I see. So, it’s the same situation as Nami and Tadano or Ogawa and Hina. Or maybe not? Maybe it’s closer to Enomoto’s relationship with Nikka-senpai.

Ah. Wait. It’s also similar to my relationship with Akane... Although I didn’t leave somewhere far from her, I became too distant and I was probably close to a stranger to her with my change. But still, our situation was better since we were living next to each other. In the end, Akane won me back to her side.

“Where is he now?”

“Gone. He went to Tokyo for high school. We promised to contact each other. Guess what?”

“He didn’t fulfill that promise.”

“He did at least for the first few weeks.”

Ah. Most likely that guy found a new group of friends, huh? Or maybe a girlfriend too. Hence, he decided to just cut off the girl which might be a cause for their disagreement.

Once again, Sachi’s bitter smile peeked out. She’s truly affected by it.

“These days, we only exchange messages once every three or four days. It’s not even a whole conversation. It’s more like a greeting that will end after one reply.”

“That’s why I’m not a fan of promises. Technically he’s still upholding it but is there even a point for it anymore?”

Sachi continued. Looks like asking her about it provided her an outlet to dump what she’s holding back inside.

“Hmm. You’re right. Have you told him about this yet? That you’re unhappy with how your communication dwindled to the point that it’s almost nonexistent anymore.”

“No... what good will it do?”

“For starters, it might open his eyes that he’s neglecting his promise to you.”

I’m not helping that guy out with this, am I? Well, my words are for this girl. To help her sort out her feelings. She did say they’re not even a thing. Just close friends. But from everything I’ve experienced, I could see that Sachi held at least a little bit of hope that they could be more than that.

As for her interest in me... well, it’s genuine. Otherwise, she won’t even come here and act this happy to see me fulfilling my promise. She either needs closure or acceptance that they’ve already grown apart.
