A Childhood Friend, Reunited After 10 Years Acts Deredere With Me - Chapter 5 - As expected, the perfect girl is doomed to be hated

“Sora~!”

Alice hugged me as usual. I am used to it, and I have gotten used to it. Alice buried her face in my chest while saying “ehehehe~”, but I had a bad premonition just now.

“Tsk…”

“Annoying…”

“Do you think you’re cute?”

I can’t tell you this because I don’t want to relive it too much, but when I was in middle school, I was subjected to a lot of ill will. I don’t know if it’s because of that, but I became able to recognize people’s malice to some extent.

I sensed the malice of a few girls in my class towards Alice.

(Well… it’s no wonder they are jealous of Alice.)

Perhaps the root of this feeling is jealousy.

Alice’s appearance could not be more perfect, and her style is also considered to be popular among men. And even now, a few boys like her. A few girls probably find that uninteresting.

But there’s nothing I can do about that now. Besides, Alice is mostly with me, so if something happens, I can help her.

………

……

…

“What’s this?”

At the end of the usual school day, me and Alice are about to change from our slippers to shoes in the shoe box when I hear a strange voice from Alice’s side.

I looked there and saw Alice holding something that looked like a piece of paper.

“This is…”

“L-L-Love letter?”

On the A4 paper is a message that says, ‘I’ll be waiting for you on the rooftop after school.” It was probably a love letter of some kind. However, Alice did not seem as upset as I had expected. I thought she would be more upset.

“It isn’t, Sora, is it? The sender.”

“No, I didn’t. I’m not the type to write love letters in the first place. If I wanted to, I would confess directly.”

“Then, when Sora confesses his love to me, he will do so directly, right? I’m so happy. Where do you want to have our wedding?”

“You’re talking too far out of line! First of all, I didn’t say I’m getting married!”

“Don’t worry! We’ll get married sooner or later!”

What a crazy statement. I mean, not even starting a relationship and getting married… That’s not the point right now.

“L-Let’s put that aside. What are you going to do with this?”

“I refuse. I’m not interested in any guy other than Sora.”

“You said that so bluntly…”

I didn’t think you would be so ruthless. I’m curious as to why you’re so adamant about me, on the contrary.

“Well, wait a minute. I’ll be right back.”

With that, Alice climbed the stairs from the shoe closet to the rooftop.

“…”

The malice of the girls formed yesterday and today. No wonder these guys are ready to take action at any moment. A lingering feeling of uneasiness remained in my heart, and I held my head down.

“Let’s go…”

I told myself it was just in case, and two minutes later, I climbed the stairs.
