…W, why is Hatsune here? No, it’s because she thought I’d be waiting for her in this classroom. Then what’s the point of that question now? Who’s that woman? No, if Hatsune is here right now, it can’t be anyone other than Tsukiai who just left the classroom. Then, what was she talking about? What was the meaning of the question? Could it be that she suspected me of cheating on her?

…No, calm down, let’s hear what she has to say first.

“Eh, what do you mean by ‘What were you talking about?'”

“I mean, it was just you and her in the classroom, right?”

“No, we didn’t really talk about anything—–”

“The reason why you were acting strange in the afternoon was because of that woman, right?”

“Eh?”

Hatsune made a sad, fragile and yet, determined face.

“I told you, didn’t I? You know what happens if you hide things from me.”

“N, no, I, I wasn’t hiding anything—-”

“That’s enough, So-kun, go back to sleep.”

When she said that, Hatsune came close to my bosom, took out something like a syringe from her uniform pocket, and injected it into the back of my hand. …A sudden drowsiness came over me. What is this, a sleeping drug?

“Wh, what are you…..”

“Don’t worry, I’m just going to ask you to reflect on your actions—-”

After those words, I lost consciousness.

“…kun ….-kun… So-kun!”

“Ha!”

I woke up and immediately tried to check the situation, but…

“A, ae?”

I couldn’t see…. No, my eyes were covered with something…. A blindfold…. Or maybe my mouth was restrained too.

“Ah, are you awake? You really are a sleepyhead, aren’t you?”

And Hatsune is doing her usual light talking. I mean, my body is also tied to something…. Is this a chair….? And that I’m being strapped to a chair with some kind of rope…

So, to sum up the situation, I can’t call for help because my mouth is covered, I can’t grasp the situation because I’m blindfolded, and I can’t even move because I’m tied to a chair with a rope.

…Yeah, this really is confinement.

“Wai ae ya ding this?” (Why are you doing this?)

“Aah, sorry, I’ll unbind your mouth, okay?”

When I said that, Hatsune released the restraints on my mouth as she had declared.

“Haa, haa, wh, why are you doing this?”

“Because you cheated on me, so I thought I’d lock you up for a week♥”

“L, lock me up?”

So that’s what it is…

“Oh! That’s right, I have to tweet it!!”

When I said that, I heard her tapping on her phone.

“My boyfriend is locked up♥”

…Yes? What is that terrible tweet——

“Oh, 10,000 likes, that’s a little low today.”

…Eh? Ten thousand? It’s been less than 5 seconds since she tweeted it. And that’s not enough…? Could it be that Hatsune has a lot of power on social media? N, no, I have to get out of this situation…

“H, Hatsune? You misunderstand me, I’m—”

“I’m not having an affair! Please! Please believe me! …right?”

“Eh…..”

Hatsune had completely read what I was about to say.

“That’s a common phrase for people who are having an affair, right?”

“N, no, but it’s true…”

I have a few sentences in my head to clear up the misunderstanding, but I really can’t do anything about it if all she’s going to say is “That’s what cheaters say.”

“I’m sorry, but I have to punish So-kun so that he won’t cheat on me anymore, but if you learn from this, you won’t think of cheating on me anymore, right?”

“Yeah…”

“I’m also sad and in pain, you know? That you cheated on me.”

I don’t want you to sound so sad, but I’m not really cheating on you.

""

“Well, it’s late today. I’m going to bed, but you should go back to sleep.”

“Eh!? Wait a minute—–”

Slam!

I heard what seemed to be the door to this room closed. …Oh, you’re kidding right? I just woke up and I’m not sleepy at all. I don’t know how long I’ve been asleep, but since she said it was late, I’ll assume it was around midnight.

…I’m not sure I can sleep. And I want water more than I want to sleep. I’m thirsty….

“Ha, Hatsune! Water!”

“……”

There was no reply, it seemed like she really wasn’t in this room anymore.

“….Haa, it’s going to be a long night.”
