A Childhood Friend, Reunited After 10 Years Acts Deredere With Me - Chapter 43 - Alice and Saionji

“Guhehehe…Sora’s sleeping face is always so cute.”

I would look at my secret collection of photo albums in the girls’ restroom. This was the only way I could tolerate Sora at school.

Well, yesterday we had a really last-minute make out session, so I was pretty satisfied, but after doing that… hey? Even if I got extra excited…hey?

“Oops…time to go…”

Oh, no, no, no. I put the camera in my pocket, left the private room, washed my hands, and went out, and found Saionji with his back against the wall near the toilet.

“Hey, Alice.”

“W-What… are you doing here?”

Waiting in front of a restroom, you would have to be very handsome to not be treated as a pervert… Well, Saionji-kun has a good face, so I guess he wouldn’t be treated as a pervert there.

“I’ve been waiting for you.”

“What are you, a stalker or something?”

Waiting in front of the bathroom you could be mistaken for a stalker.

Well, if it’s Sora, he’s welcome.

“I mean, if I don’t do this, some bug will come to disturb you, right?”

I can easily guess what he means by “disturbing insect”. Sora. Sora and I don’t wait in front of the bathroom for each other though.

“So, what is it? Class is about to start…”

A hand was placed next to my face and tapped on the wall behind me. It’s the kabedon.

Ah, wait. I’ll have to put that on my list of things I want Sora to do next time.

“Actually, what’s wrong with me? If you’re asking me if I’m good-looking or not, I’m better than him.”

“Saionji-kun, you’re not wrong in what you say, but you have the worst image in my mind.”

I would not have said such things when I was in America. I would not have had the guts to say it.

“Hah?”

“I won’t talk about the level of your faces, but I didn’t choose Sora based solely on his face, so I don’t know, and I’m probably not interested in that.”

Me and Sora have been dating for exactly two months, and if we were dating by face, we would have broken up by now. But instead of cooling down, our love is increasing one after another. I used to think that I wanted to kiss Sora, but now I want to lick Sora.

“So I’m sorry, but I can’t answer Saionji-kun’s confession.”

Hmmm…you like him that much. About that guy.”

“Yeah.”

The sky is a drug for me. The most important thing to remember is that you should not be afraid to use it. No, it was more addictive than that.

“…You and I met in America six months ago.”

“Eh…?”

“I was modeling at the time. I was on a roll, and I thought I could get anything I wanted, especially women. Especially women. Women were just empty people who followed me as long as I had money and a face. But you were different.”

He tries to remember what happened back then with his mind fully occupied.

Ah…I can remember. It was around the time when I was absent from school, as I recall. I happened to be walking outside for a change of pace when I was approached.

“You were the only girl who didn’t fall for me, so I wanted you.”

“Saionji-kun, do you want to collect women?”

He’s seduced numerous women, but because he couldn’t get me among them, he won’t give up until he gets that one. The word “collection” fits best.

“Well, I guess that’s about it. So I’m going to give you a special right to be my girlfriend.”

“I don’t want it. I’m devoted to Sora and I’m not interested in anyone else. So choose someone else.”

“That’s a problem. My target is already you.”

“That’s enough, transfer student. What are you doing picking on my girlfriend?”

Saionji-kun’s voice is drowned out by the appearance of Sora’s voice. Sora’s sharp eyes turn to Sora, and at the same time, Sora also turns to Saionji-kun with fear in his eyes.

“Are you worried that I’ll take Alice? Does that mean you don’t trust Alice?”

“You’re jumping the gun. You don’t listen to what people say, do you?”

 “No, I don’t. Everyone listens to me.”

The two of them exchanged sharp glances, and Saionji raised his index finger at Sora.

“First, let’s play a game.”

“Hah?”

“There’s a sporting event coming up in town. You can choose any sport you like. You pick your favorite sport, and we’ll see who wins.”

“I see. Okay, let’s play soccer.”

When Sora makes a quick decision, I can tell. Ah, um, I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to fight with Sora in soccer.

“I see. Now that you’ve said it, you can’t take it back now, can you?”

Saionji-kun mutters these words as he passes Sora.

“That’s my line, you idiot.”

After Sora replied, Saionji-kun disappeared toward the classroom.

The first time he did so, Sora played with his phone, which he rarely plays with.

“T-The actual ball game tournament is a thing in this town. Ahaha.”

“Well, yes. Soccer, baseball, basketball and other games are played in a tournament format. I’m participating in soccer, but since we can’t get 11 people for this event in the first place, our team is five.”

Explaining this in a matter-of-fact manner, Sora put his phone to his ear. Pulllllllll,” the incoming call rings, so he must be making a call… to whom?

“Yo, Kouren. Long time no see. I’m coming next Sunday, do you have time?”

Ah…this is bad.
