Chapter 28: A false confession 1

A week had passed since the day I had formed an cooperative alliance with Katase and Ryogoku. From the morning, I had been feeling extremely nervous.

“I’ll be going to school from tomorrow.”

That LINE message came from Katase yesterday… which meant that today was the day she would reject my confession.

Even though I knew the outcome, I still feel nervous. More so because it was going to be in front of all public.

An unbearably flashy performance even from my own standard. There was a high chance that the ironclad fortress of my solitary life that I had built until now would come crashing down. In other words, it can also be seen as a denial of myself.

Now that Ryogoku had offered to help, there wasn’t much need for me to sacrifice myself. Even though I can’t say it to be completely pointless, but… it is definitely more certain, even if Ryogoku decides to pretends to be Tachibana’s lover all in all.

Despite that, I didn’t change my way of thought. It wasn’t for some cool reason like my pride didn’t allow me to. It was something much, much more selfish.

“――So, the manager was totally gross again. The other day, too――”

“――What’s that? So gross. Maybe the manager likes you? As a woman that is!”

Morning in the classroom. Nearby, Tachibana’s Tinkerbell group was noisily chatting away. Nope, saying “like idiots” maybe way too generous. They were just idiots.

However, their annoying voices were just the right distraction to calm my nerves.

Right now, I don’t need to think anything. I just needed to wait for Katase to arrive, and once she does, I would say the lines I have prepared beforehand. If I were to convince myself to be a machine programmed to do that, ~Wah~, ~what a surprise, my nervousness has eased away more than I thought.

Nope, it doesn’t seem to ease up at all. Huuuuummmmmm~, how can I calm down at this poin… Darn it! I’ve again started overthinking about this!

““”………”””

Suddenly, the Tachibana-Tinkerbell group fell silent. Well, more accurately, the entire class had suddenly fell eerily quiet.

I gave a small peek sideways at Tachibana. She was glaring sharply at a certain point in front of her.

… I guess she’s here again.

Following Tachibana’s gaze, —-I stood up.

To ease Katase, who was visibly shrinking in fear, even a little faster, I started walking towards her.
