Chapter 30: The Birth of two false couples

There were no voices of congratulations arose. Moreover, the classroom instead fell into silence once again.

“…Um, Katase-san? What the heck are you doing?”

“Nn?”

I whispered to her, trying not to be heard by the others but she simply tilted her head with a smile.

She was clearly playing dumb.

Even though I gently try to pull my hand away, but as if to refuse that happen, Katase instead gripped it even more tightly.

Wait! Just what are you even doing, Katase-san????? This could make Ryogoku change his mind!!!

To be honest, whether she rejects or accepts my confession, the effect wouldn’t be much different. It was just a different way of showing that she wasn’t interested in Ryogoku. In fact, if my confession succeeded, it might satisfy Tachibana even more —thinking something like, “So you liked someone like Kazari? Fufu, what poor taste.”

But from Ryogoku’s perspective, it wouldn’t be a funny story at all. After all, because he has feelings for Katase.

To get Ryogoku on my side, being rejected was a prerequisite.

However, I hadn’t explained the full plan to Katase. Because I thought I didn’t think it was necessary.

Because I didn’t think she would prioritize her feelings over a plan that could save her from bullies.

“—————-Congratulations, Kazari-kun!”

Came a voice from somewhere, accompanied by an applause.

There was no need to even check—the voice belonged to Ryogoku.

I had braced myself for the possibility that, if things went wrong, everything could go back to square one, —-but he wore a gentle smile as if to say, there was nothing wrong at all.

Why—why can he even make an expression like that? Don’t you feel upset? Don’t you feel frustrated?

If Ryogoku were not human but a Buddha or something, I might have understood, but he was undoubtedly a human with emotions. That was why, I just couldn’t comprehend it at all.

However, the situation continued to develop, leaving me in the sidelines.

“Kazari-kun, it seems I’ve been inspired by you… So, even I am thinking of confessing to my ‘special someone’ here and now as well, ”

Ryogoku declared, prompting a roar of surprise from the class.

“Eh, does that mean… a Shuraba?!”

[TL: Shuraba is like, 2 or more fighting for a single love interest.]

“Damn, no way! What’s going to happen now?!”

Everyone knew about the rumor that Ryogoku liked Katase. That’s why, class’ reactions were absolutely spot on.

However Ryogoku betrayed their expectations. Contrary to the expectations of the class, who seemed to be hoping for a Shuraba, he walked to the back of the classroom—to Tachibana.

“……………………”

And with this, just within a few minutes, two fake couples were born.
