For Some Reason, My Ex-girlfriend, Who Lost Interest in Me, and My Current Girlfriend, Whom I’ve Kno

☆ Mayuka Takamine ☆

“She was dumped by her boyfriend!? What do you mean!?”

Lunch break.

I asked Komori, who had gone to visit her, how Natsukawa was doing, and a report came up that I didn’t expect at all.

According to Komori, Natsukawa was crying and screaming after being dumped by a guy.

What’s with that? I don’t understand!

“Come on, you’re talking too loud, Mayu-nee.”

“S-Sorry. But was that really Natsukawa-san?”

Natsukawa’s true love is supposed to be you, Komori.

“There’s no doubt about it. I saw it with my own eyes.”

Komori assured me while eating his bento.

No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem like this guy is lying.

And there’s one more thing that is puzzling me…

I glance at Natsukawa.

After returning to school for the first time in a few days, she’s surprisingly devoid of tension.

The fact that I’m having lunch alone with Komori like this is the best proof of all.

Not only with homemade bentos, but also when I show her how close I am with Komori, she doesn’t show any signs of impatience.

On the contrary, she looks somewhat relaxed.

Frankly speaking, if Natsukawa has given up on Komori, there’s no need for me to rush into conquering him.

After all, there’s no point in competing with each other.

Tch… Apparently I was mistaken.　

I thought I could enjoy this relationship a little more…

I look away from Natsukawa with disappointment.

But it didn’t take long for me to realize that this was a terrible mistake.

☆ Tenshi Izumi ☆

After school, the day after I discovered Kengo-san’s two-timing.

I sent a message with trembling hands.

The message reads, [Kengo-san, can we leave school together today?]

To be honest, I’m very scared to meet him after yesterday.

Because there’s a possibility that he might bring up the idea of a breakup.

If that’s the case, it would be easier to continue running away without seeing him.

But now I have a friend who has my back. He is Shota Komori-san.

I asked him via a message whether I should invite Kengo-san to go home together from school, and he immediately replied,

[Who can refuse the sweet temptation of an angel? Fight!]

Sweet temptation of an angel… That sounds like I’m a b***h!

That’s why I,

[MAIL ERROR. This contact is no longer in use.]

What a reply.

[It was true that this was a contact that could be get rid of at any time⁉︎ This means I didn’t get what I paid for! I want my two super-sized deluxe parfaits back!]

[If you could cut me open, I think I’d still have some left, no?]

[That idea is too crazy!! Did you not think of returning the money!?]

[No, no, no. Why do you not realize that the message earlier means, ‘Eat me♡’]

[I didn’t expect a cannibalism statement!?]

Fufu. What a stupid exchange…

But I also understand that this was a message spelled out by Shota-san to relieve my tension.

I really suspect that he’s a natural womanizer.

But the reply from Kengo-san was one that ran a pain like a knife through my heart.

[Sorry, Tenshi. I can’t go home with you today because I have something to do. But I have something important to tell you. Could you please make some time later?]

I couldn’t find hope in ‘something important to tell you’ and my body just froze.

What should I do? As these thoughts fill my heart, Kengo-san runs through in the opposite direction from me as I wait at the school gate.

He doesn’t even seem to notice that I’m waiting for him because he’s running off without looking in the direction I am.

I wonder where he plans to go in such a hurry.

Unable to stand still, I decided to secretly follow Kengo-san.

After witnessing Komori and Tenshi together, I didn’t sleep a wink.

I was in a daze during gym class, and got hit by a ball in the face. The questions that I could usually answer immediately were also bombarded with wrong answers.

I was so out of the ordinary that all the teachers advised me to go to the nurse’s office.

Apparently, there was a bit of a commotion in the class, something like, “Today, Ohashi-kun is a bit strange, don’t you think?”

But, from my point of view, it’s not surprising that they would think that way.

After all, I’ve just witnessed my girlfriend having fun with another man, Komori, whom my sister has been desperately trying to win over.

To be honest, I really want to go and question her right now…

Shamefully, my legs are too frightened to go and ask.

I’m afraid of being told the truth. I never thought I had this side of me.

In the end, not only do I fail to ask about their relationship, I can’t even tell Tenshi that I’m going to have a fake relationship with my own sister.

I feel guilty even though I didn’t do anything wrong.

Even though I have nothing to hide, I should’ve given a proper explanation to Tenshi.

After school comes around and I notice that she has sent me a message.

Apparently, she’s inviting me to go home after school again today.

Damn it! Why do I have to neglect my real girlfriend by playing a fake relationship that I don’t even want to play!

I gradually became angrier and angrier.

Yeah! Now that this is happening, let’s quickly finish my sister’s business and talk to Tenshi properly.

I decided to run as fast as I could to Komori and my sister’s high school.

☆ Shizuku Natsukawa ☆

–I will be the goddess of this new world(Komori-kun). (T/N: It’s ‘new world’ with ‘Komori-kun’ as the furigana, LMAO. Also yes, Komori not Shota.)
