Chapter 31 What’s the plan?
February 20, 2022
As Touko-senpai had told me, I immediately called Karen again.
Of course, it was to make an appointment to meet Karen the next day.
“I couldn’t leave Karen depressed, so I cancelled my appointment with my friend.
I told her that I couldn’t leave her feeling depressed, so I cancelled my appointment with my friend, and Karen seemed to be very happy that she was given priority. on the phone.
The next day’s date was also the first time in a long time that Karen was affectionate.
She was tightly attached to me.
It’s been a while since we’ve walked hand in hand.
I also went to the school festival.
I showed up at the club’s booth.
My duty is the day after tomorrow, but I decided to help out a little.
I wanted to find out how Kamokura was doing from the other members of the circle.
Kamokura showed up at the booth just before we arrived and said, “Do you want to play mahjong? But when he found out that there was no one to play with, he went away.
He must be having a little too much time on his hands now that he’s not going on the trip with Toko-senpai that he was expecting.
That’s a good sign.
For the next week, Karen was sticking to me as if we had just started dating.
She wanted to have lunch with me every day.
It was at the school cafeteria.
It was probably just a way of “ate-taking to Kamokura.
It’s really annoying that I want to eat with Ishida and my friends from the department once in a while.
During this time, Touko-senpai and I didn’t see each other directly.
This is because Karen and Kamokura don’t seem to be seeing each other.
But we’ve been in touch every day.
I believe that Karen’s current attitude is simply an “atesuke to Kamokura”.
So when the time comes, she will probably repeat her affair with Kamokura again.
I was hoping to hear Touko’s opinion on this.
“It’s certainly possible that it’s as you imagined, Isshiki.”
Touko-senpai said this in her usual unchanging tone.
“That’s right., That’s why I wanted to check and see when the two of you would start having affairs again.”
When I said that, Touko-senpai said as if to stifle that thought.
“But it could be the other way around, couldn’t it?”
“Could it be the other way around?”
“Yes, there is a possibility that Karen will reflect on what she has done and realize that you are the most important person in her life.”
“Is that right?”
“From a distance, you guys look like a couple that’s getting along really well.”
“That’s because both Karen and I are acting like it. Didn’t you tell me to do that, Touko-senpai?”
“That’s true. I just want you to think about it again and ask yourself, “Is it really right to hurt her here and leave her?”
…… What are you talking about now? We’ve decided that we’re going to make the cheater feel so hopeless and regretful that he or she will want to die. ……
And then it occurred to me.
…… Is it possible that Touko-senpai wants to start over with Kamokura? Kamokura has also changed his mind and changed his attitude, and Touko-senpai feels it too. ……
I suddenly became anxious.
“What does that mean? Does it mean that Touko-senpai is having second thoughts like that?”
“That’s not true. But if Karen’s attitude changes, it’s only natural that your feelings would change as well. That’s why I think you should reevaluate what is the best choice for you. If you carry out your plan and break up with Karen-san, you will never be able to get back together again.”
“We’ve already reached the point where we can’t go back to the way things were. Karen cheated on me! I can’t go back to the way things were with Karen now. Even now, I’m forcing myself to see her in order to carry out my mission.”
Then I cut off my words and spoke the next one with all my strength.
“And I’m sure Karen will have another affair.”
Then, on the other end of the phone, I heard Touko-senpai sigh, “Phew~.
“If you’re so determined, then fine. I won’t say anything else. I don’t have any intention of starting over with Tetsuya either. Let’s proceed as we originally planned, towards X-Day.”
“Yes, thank you. So what’s next for you?”
“So far, I think Karen’s feelings are pretty much returning to Isshiki-kun. First of all, keep it up.”
“I understand. But I think that Karen’s feelings for me right now is just an attribution to Kamokura-senpai. If the two of you start cheating on each other again, I think it’ll be the same thing as before?”
“So we need another push here.”
“What’s that?”
“You know, the one we talked about before, the one about raising the overall likability of the girls.”
I’ve heard that story before.
But I have no idea what I’m supposed to do.
“What exactly do I need to do to make that happen? I can’t think of anything at all.”
“Yes, I think you’re doing what I told you to do before. But it’s still not enough. So I’m going to give you a chance here.”
“What are we going to do?”
“Next time, I’m going to gather the girls around me, including those in my circle, and we’re going to use …… as an excuse to discuss winter events like Christmas, New Year’s, and Valentine’s Day.”
“Huh.”
“Then Isshiki-kun will come to the scene under the guise of coincidence. That’s how you get into the circle of girls and increase your likability.”
“Do you think it will work that well? I don’t think they’ll like the idea of a guy entering into a girl’s conversation.”
“Before that, I’ll say something like, ‘I’d like to hear the boys’ opinions. Then, if you happen to pass by, it won’t be unnatural for you to enter the conversation, right?”
“Well, okay then. But I don’t have a topic that girls would like.”
“Okay, you need to look up the app I’m about to tell you about. “It’s a selfie camera app for smartphones”….”
Touko-senpai named a few different camera apps for selfies.
“If you can explain the pros and cons of these camera apps, whether they are paid or free, and what their features are, I think you’ll get a lot of points. If you can explain that in a way that’s easy for girls to understand, I think you’ll get a lot of points.”
“I see.”
It’s true that women pay a lot of attention to the photos they upload to social networking sites.
They may want to know about apps that can help them take cute pictures.
“While we’re on the subject, why don’t you show that you’re ‘good at programming’? In fact, we’re both in Information Technology, and you once told me that you’re pretty good at Java and Python, right?”
I did indeed say that.
This is because it was the only thing that I could do that would be even remotely comparable to Touko senpai, who was the top student in her second year of Information Engineering.
Nowadays, even Humanities Departments offer programming classes. So many girls have a hard time with programming assignments. I’ve been making programs for these girls, but I’d like you to do it for me. I think you’ll get a good reputation with the girls just by doing this. After that, you can continue to interact with the other girls.”
Well, I guess I can do a little of that, too.
“Originally, Isshiki-kun is not badly popular among girls. Even when I first entered the school, there were girls around me who said he was ‘pretty cute and handsome.”
“Really?”
The muscles in my face seemed to relax.
“It’s true. If it wasn’t, I don’t think Karen would have chosen you as her boyfriend.”
I don’t really know what the girls think of me, but I’m sure they do since Touko-senpai said so.
But then I remembered one thing.
“But isn’t that plan a bad idea?”
“Why?”
“It means that other people will know that me and Touko senpai are getting together, right? And then Karen and Kamokura-senpai will hear about it, won’t they?”
However, Touko-senpai answered in a relaxed manner.
“I’ve thought of that, too. I’m going to ask Kazumi to call you. I’m going to have her call you, so you’ll have to act like we’re just seniors and juniors at the same high school.”
Oh, as expected of Touko-senpai.
You’ve already taken that into consideration.
“You are to behave as you have been behaving in the circle. Don’t talk to me too much and focus on talking to the other girls. I’ll pretend that I don’t care much about you either.”
After that, Touko senpai and I talked about when we would carry out the plan, what I should talk about with the girls, and which restaurant would be the most coincidental place to meet.
We decided that we would contact the girls after we had decided on the members of the group.
At the same time, it was decided that Touko-senpai would send me messages about the girls’ personalities, interests, and dislikes, as much as she knew.
I would look at them and think of topics that each of them would like and topics that they should avoid.
At first, I thought, “It’s impossible to raise the popularity of all the girls!” but after listening to Touko-senpai’s story, I thought it would be easier than I thought.
Besides, Touko-senpai herself will be supporting me in the circle of women.
It’s not surprising that this is easy to do.
And ……
Karen and Kamokura’s affair is back.
It started on Thursday, about a week and a half after the “day the affair trip was rejected”.
I really don’t know if I should say that they never learn, or if I should say that they’re just too clever.
