“So that’s why they won’t be bothering Rika anymore” (Susami)
One day at lunchtime, Kyoya took me to the courtyard where Susami and Chitose were sitting.
As soon as she saw me, she gave me an annoyed grin and said: “Thank you”.
As I tilted my head wondering what was that for, Susami begins to tell me about what happened after the incident with Tachibana and the girls.
“You’re awfully good at what you do, huh”
“Of course, it’s for the sake of cute Rika”
According to what she said, as soon as she was told what happened by Tachibana, she identified the girls and went to talk to them directly.
And from that, she nailed them and told them to stop without any ingenuity and trickery.
That was all it took them to stop troubling Tachibana.
And on top of all that, she also went and contacted Ichinose and had a chat.
“But I was only trying to protect her, the one who healed her wounds is you, Kusuba-kun” (Susami)
“Is that so?” (Kusuba)
“That is so” (Susami)
Susami gave a sly chuckle.
I’m not sure if that’s the right word to use but I can’t think of anything else.
(TL- That’s the MC commenting…. not me….)
“Ahhhh, Ren. Isn’t it finally going to the point where you can’t hide It anymore? (Kyoya)
“Hide what?”
Kyoya, who was now very excited, put his arm around my shoulder.
I was getting a bit tense.
“Don’t play dumb, you’re in love with Tachibana-san, aren’t you?”
(This flag has come so many times, and failed so I’ve kinda lost all hope, lol)
“No, that’s not…”
“Ah, what was that weird pause?”
“…shut up”
Kyoya suddenly brings up romance like that.
It may be natural for high school student, but it was still too much for me
(TL-Aint ya a high school student too?)
“I mean, don’t say stuff like that in front of susami…”
“Ohhhh…why not?”
“Why…don’t you dislike…”
“No, I don’t. I’m not Hinata.”
Another chuckle.
The laugh, which is unique to Susami as if she can see right through me.
I’m afraid of this laugh.
It’s as if she knows everything about me, what I’m hiding and what I’m not aware of.
“On the contrary actually, I think that Rika and Kisusba-kun are a good match” (Susami)
“Me too! They both have their own slow pace, but their pace is the same!” (Kyoya)
“I don’t think there’s enough reason for us to be in a relationship. We can still be friends.” (Kusuba)
(TL- Well…shit. And imma stop commenting mid-chap, or I’ll vent. Lmao)
“There it is, Ren’s classic logic” (Kyoya)
“What classic? (Kusuba)
He’s getting up to me good.
“But you don’t know what Rika thinks about it do you? (Kusuba)
He is not stopping.
Usually, I can just talk him out of it. But today I’m dealing with more than just him.
And that being Susami? It was just way more troublesome.
“Oh, that’s right, Tachibana may like you.” (Kyoya)
“But that won’t change my thoughts” (Kusuba)
“You can change it, or you can’t. You can choose what to do based on what happens. (Susami)
(TL- I am so lost…)
“Well, I want Rika and you to go out” (Susami)
“Hmm…that’s what I want as well” (Kyoya)
“That’s just selfish…” (Kusuba)
The calm and composed Susami, and the energetic and aggressive Kyoya.
Their teamwork is quite vicious.
But still, It was surprising that Susami was so positive.
I thought she would want to protect Tachibana like Hinata.
“I want to protect her too, of course”
She just laughed when I told her about it.
“Then why…”
“Don’t you see? I want to protect her, so I want her to be with you. She’s a little more vulnerable than you think.”
“I don’t get it…”(Kusuba)
“If we go out, we’ll go on a double date, that’s a promise!” (Kyoya)
“Am I an outcast?” (Susami)
“A triple date is fine as well, but Susami, do you have a boyfriend?”
“Well, we’ll see”
Susami smiles her usual smile as if it’s completely normal for her to be his way.
How is it that you can find so much about other people but not reveal a single thing about yourself?
Though I’m not particularly interested.
“Don’t just decide that on your own!” (Kusuba)
“Why not? We’re are saying if you two go out” (Kyoya)
“Yeah, It’s an “if”” (Kusuba)
“…Enough with that” (Kyoya)
I turned my back to them and decided to quickly leave the courtyard.
Susami said “See you later” and left easily but Kyoya, as expected, followed me and put his arms around my shoulders again.
“You aren’t very honest, are you, Ren?”
“Stop it, you’re annoying.”
“You’re my best buddy, eh?”
“…it’s too hot”
“WOW! You didn’t deny that? Damn! You’ve grown up Ren”
Damn…me and the shit I do…
But well, I guess there’s not much point denying it now.
And I’m not going to either.
If I have a best friend, it’s definitely Kyoya.
“Ren”
“Yes?”
“You are changing, bit by bit. It’s also for the better. So don’t go lying to yourself about your feelings, alright?”
“I know”
I couldn’t talk normally to Kyoya who suddenly changed to such a formal tone.
I had been secretly closing the distance to the line I didn’t want him to cross over.
But it was seen easily and he came to the shortest distance possible
I guess this is one of his good points but a weakness of mine.
“If you know what’s going on, then it’s alright. If you don’t like Tachibana, you can continue things as they are. But if you do, then you can always rely on me alright?”
“…even if you tell me that, you’re the only one I have, you know?”
“Haha, That’s right”
“Shut up, deny it”
“I can’t lie to my best friend, I’m too honest”
Ah well, he is a good guy.
…well, I’m sure he doesn’t lie.
“So that’s why they won’t be bothering Rika anymore” (Susami)
