A Childhood Friend, Reunited After 10 Years Acts Deredere With Me - Chapter 52 - Alice Saves Sora

“It’s been a long time~ You’ve been well? Sora.”

Sora, who had been sitting down, stands up in front of the strange blonde woman.

“You remember me, Yamanishi.”

Sora usually looks at me very kindly when she is with me. Those loving eyes are also the reason why I fell in love with Sora.

But…it’s different now. He looked at that woman with nothing in his eyes. It was as if he was gazing at a pebble, without any emotion.

“I was after this guy for a while. Don’t have such a scary look~ Do you want to be like you were in junior high school again?”

I had a gut feeling the moment I heard the word “junior high school”. It was her. The person who was the source of the disturbance to Sora that Kouren was talking about.

“Eh? Ai-chi, who is this handsome guy?”

“Hey. Introduce me too~”

Two women came in from the side. They are what you might call “gyaru,” or “gal. Wow…she’s got her nails done…and her makeup is amazing…doesn’t that look a little uncomfortable on her face?

“Ah, this is my classmate from junior high school, his name is Sora. Who is that girl over there? Maybe she’s Sora’s girlfriend?”

“Yeah.”

“Wow…really? She’s the girlfriend of that lousy guy who violated me…?”

I heard about it during the school festival. She spread rumors throughout the school with a lie and brought down Sora. So I knew immediately that it was a lie, and she was simply too good a liar.

“It’s okay, Yamanishi-san! I’ve heard the truth about what happened in middle school, so I don’t believe a word you say!”

Saying that, I put on a big smile.

“… Hah? I don’t get it though.”

‘I don’t know what you mean. You should have the intelligence to make conversation.”

I am worried that she has a lower vocabulary than I do after 10 years in the U.S. I wonder how she is going to make a living. Well, I don’t care what happens to this person in the future.

I pull on Sora’s arm and walk through the three of them.

“Bye, Yamanishi bitch-san. I hope I never see you again.”

Saying that, I took Sora and walked out of the store. From the fact that those three didn’t follow me, I was glad that they seemed to have given up.

“…Alice, you’re pretty venomous, aren’t you?”

“Eh?”

When Sora said that with a drawn face, I remembered what had happened earlier.

“Ah… aah!?”

D-Didn’t I say something terrible!? Oh no! The sky hates me! I hate it! That’s the only thing I don’t like!

“You… hate… me?”

“No? Well, my favorability rating is going up because you helped me out.”

Hoh… I’m glad to hear that.

“But then, Alice can spit venom like that, too, can’t she? You scared me.”

He said with a grin, and remembering the past, I smacked Sora.

“Mou! Forget it already! That was… just blood rushing to my head!”

“Okay okay.”

Saying that, Sora gave a small laugh.

“Well, whatever. Thanks.”

“…”

I feel like I’m going to start crying. I made Sora smile because of what I had done. My face turned red and I unconsciously hugged Sora.

“Ehehehe, don’t worry about it! I’ll protect you, Sora!”
