Interlude 3
Cheer
“Rei-chan, I suddenly want dessert. Let’s go to the convenience store together.”
After the three of us had dinner made by Yuunagi-kun, Kaguya-chan and I stepped outside.
“I never thought Kaguya-chan would figure everything out. I’m sorry.”
“I kept quiet too, so we’re even. If anything, I should apologize for sothing else.”
As we walked down the night street, Kaguya-chan, leading the way, looked back.
“Sothing else?”
“I accepted it because it’s you, Rei-chan. I don’t intend to lose to any other girl.”
“...”
She says scary things with such a cute face.
“The one who asked Yuu-kun to play the boyfriend was probably a classmate I t during Golden Week, right?
Sharp. She’s seen through it all after just one eting.
“You can tell, huh.”
“I want to check for nuisances early on.”
“But it’s just an act of playing the boyfriend role, only until the cultural festival.”
“Do you think you can endure it until then, Rei-chan?”
Being forced to view my own weakness objectively, the pain in my heart that I had been ignoring starts to throb.
“...I’m an adult and a Sensei.”
“And jealousy? Aren’t you angry? Aren’t you the only one who thinks it’s just an act?”
“Huh?”
“It’s just a possibility. But if it’s a classmate, Yuu-kun wouldn’t need to endure like he does now, and what’s ant to be pretend could turn into sothing real.”
My best friend said sothing similar. Of course, I understand. At their age, it’s normal to date classmates.
He can love openly without hiding anything.
“When that ti cos, it cos.”
“You’re very understanding.”
She said, not hiding her disappointnt.
“It’s a relationship that’s so forced even Kaguya-chan could see through it...”
“If you’re that pessimistic, it will end up that way.”
Kaguya-chan starts walking again as if she’s made up her mind.
“Well, it might be convenient for . I don’t feel like losing to anyone but Rei-chan.”
“Will your family relations beco awkward again?”
“It doesn’t matter. I just need to work towards making myself and the person I like the happiest.”
The girl nearly a decade younger than declared with blinding confidence.
It might be the montum of youth.
Like the moon floating in the night sky, her figure was vividly clear.
Being shown sothing I can’t do right now, I also got carried away.
“They say first loves never co true.”
I blurted it out and imdiately regretted it.
“You finally spoke your true feelings.”
Before I could apologize, Kaguya-chan suddenly brought her face close.
“But there’s no rule saying you can’t keep going after your first love, right? After all, Yuu-kun can’t escape from . So, I’ll just keep going until I get bored or Yuu-kun gives in.”
Rules.
Ah, that’s right. There’s no such rule.
Unconsciously, I had been using it as an excuse for not being proactive.
Laws, social norms, public opinion, neighbor agreent.
There are rules to be followed, but I had never questioned the act of following them.
“Anyway, Yuu-kun won’t be able to forget Rei-chan. He won’t be satisfied with any other girl, so I’ll be the convenient escape for him. I’ll pamper him and make him so dependent that he can’t be without .”
The girl layered her words like a little devil with an angelic smile.
Kaguya-chan is effortlessly determined not to let go of her first love.
Even from a woman’s perspective, she’s an attractive girl.
If a boy is treated kindly by such a girl nearby, he’d be smitten in no ti.
I think it’s amazing that Yuunagi-kun has managed to live under the sa roof without being swayed by his male instincts, never giving up on being a brother.
——Ah, that’s what it ans.
Such a girl acknowledges .
“If Rei-chan gives up on Yuu-kun, I’ll take him without hesitation, so don’t worry.”
It’s a second declaration of war and perhaps Kaguya-chan’s way of cheering on.
“It’s advice from a future sister-in-law; I’ll rember it well.”
I also dared to declare it outright.
“I hope it turns out that way,” she smiled.
