CH 34

I had just lost my place to go back to, so I decided to go to a park just a few blocks away from school. I might have to camp out today, but I felt so lost that it didn’t really matter right now.

“Haha…”

I can’t believe I’m shocked like this, maybe I like Hatsune more than I thought I did? If that’s the case, it’s ridiculous…

“…No”

I’m thinking completely negative. But I can’t help it…

“Huh? Soumei?”

I heard a voice from nearby. It was Ayane’s voice, the same voice I heard yesterday.

“What’s wrong? You look dejected.”

Yes, maybe I should tell Ayane about it.

“Ah. I can’t be with Hatsune anymore.”

“…….”

After a short pause, Ayane asked me.

“Hee, why?”

“Hatsune was cheating….Rather, she was confessed to by another boy and she accepted it. At first I thought something was wrong, but when I asked Hatsune about it, she seemed to admit it….”

“My sister….cheated on you….?”

Well, I’d also be shocked to find out that my own sister was having an affair…

“Eh? I’m pretty sure that’s not true. Why don’t you go home?”

“Even if you say that, I don’t have a home to go back to—-”

“But you haven’t talked to her properly, have you? Did you run away or something?”

“Eh….”

Well, you’re right, but.

“That’s why I, your master, will help you!”

“I, I get it, I get it, then I’ll go to Hatsune’s house once and that’ll be the end of it.”

“Yes! That’s fine!”

Then, Ayane greeted me with a smile. …Is it because Ayane is a little devil, or is she smiling in some other way…anyway, I decided to head there.

“Hatsune, are you—–”

I opened the door with my key, and as I entered the house, I ran into Hatsune who was about to hang herself in the doorway.

“…So-kun?”

“Wh, what are you doing!?”

I took away the string-like object Hatsune was holding and decided to talk to her.

“Wh, why are you killing yourself…”

“Because So-kun hates me…”

“W, well…After seeing that scene—-”

“It was different!”

“Eh?”

Then I heard from Hatsune about what happened after that.

“Yeah, okay.”

R, really!? Thank you very much—-“

“Did you think I’d say that? No, I won’t, you’re not even close to So-kun so, go away.”

“H, haa!? I, if only I had been kinder to him—”

“Go away?”

“…Tsk”

That’s what she said.

“B, but, why did you say yes then? Because you were confused?”

“That’s not it, it’s a hassle to keep getting confessions, so I refuse like that.”

Oh, so that’s how it is….I guess only popular people can understand that…

“I see….I, I’m sorry, Ha—-”

“It’s okay, it’s not only your fault, in fact it’s my fault, I’m really sorry.”

And Hatsune said to me deeply. Then I told Hatsune my true feelings, which surprised even me.

“B, but from now on, I don’t want you to say anything like that to anyone but me…”

“S, So-kun, y, yes! That’s right! I’m yours, aren’t I!”

She says in her usual tone. …I think I’ve learned a lot about myself today.

“Then, I’m going to go change my clothes.”

“Yeah! I’ll cook and wait for you!”

And then I decided to change in my room at ‘our’ house.

–Hatsune’s POV–

“……”

I never thought that So-kun would say something like that to me….///I’m happy….But, I really failed. This is the biggest mistake I’ve ever made. I can’t believe I’ve made him think I cheated on him.

“It’s all because of that piece of trash.”

I have to give him what he deserves… I’ll never forgive him.
