After Being Betrayed by My Girlfriend, I Kiss Her Little Sister - Chapter 28

Changing Atmosphere (2)

I just got a makeover, but for some reason, the girls in class started gathering around me.

Why…? What exactly is different from before?

More importantly, Hina is intensely glaring at me, I don’t know what to do. It was the same this morning, every time a girl comes near me, I can feel Hina’s sharp gaze again. It’s terrifying.

…but honestly, even when Hina is angry, she is still incredibly cute. Not that I could ever tell her that…

“Ahh…Kanata, it must be nice, right? Always surrounded by girls…”

“It’s not nice at all. Besides, aren’t you always being targeted by the guys in class, Hina? I really don’t like that as well, you know…”

“Really? But Kanata is the only one I have. That will never change!”

“The same goes for me…I only have you, Hina. So please stop looking at me like that…”

“But Kanata…every time a girl talks to you, you get that lost, confused look on your face! That’s why I’m worried!”

“That’s not true…”

“Then promise me!”

“Yes, yes. I promise!”

I end up making another promise with Hina.

She really doesn’t need to worry about things like that. It’s not like I have any intention of getting along with any other girls anyway.

“Hehe.”

Then, on my way back from the music room, I unexpectedly run into Umi just as she is leaving the classroom. She looks like she is in a bad mood…but that’s to be expected. After all, I’ve openly said everything right in front of Saito.

That one statement completely changed the whole atmosphere in the class.

There is no way I’ll let all of my classmates gang up on me again just like before.

“Kanata, what are you having for lunch today?”

“Lunch…probably a sandwich I bought from the convenience store.”

“Ehh, you should make a bento once in a while! I want to eat your homemade bento!”

“Eh…but I’m bad at cooking.”

“Then let’s make it together! At my place!”

“Wait…that means I’ll have to stay over at Hina’s house tonight?”

“Yeah! Exactly!”

“Alright then…sounds good.”

As Hina and I continue talking in the hallway, Kisaragi suddenly steps out of the classroom.

For some reason, she seems to be staring straight at me…maybe it’s just my imagination.

“Hey, Kanata. That girl who was looking at you earlier, wasn’t that Kisaragi?”

“Yeah. So I wasn’t imagining it…she really was looking at me.”

“Yeah…but, Kanata, Kisaragi looked kind of sad for some reason.”

“Hmm…I wonder why.”

Certainly, just like Hina said…

Kisaragi has been looking depressed lately. Did something happen?

But then again, she’s Umi’s friend, so I don’t think there is any need to worry about that. She’s Umi’s friend after all.

“Those two…they really suit each other, don’t they?”

“Yeah. They get along really well and honestly, I’m kind of jealous…”

“But, you know, since Hina-chan and Kanata aren’t dating yet, I might still have a chance!”

“Wait…! That means we still have a chance too, right?”

“You guys? No way. A cute girl like Hina-chan would never go out with you guys.”

“Hey, hey…then why do the girls think they have a shot with Miyauchi?”

“Well, unlike you guys, we actually put effort into our looks, makeup, hairstyles, everything. Meanwhile, you boys don’t do anything, do you?”

“Ugh…! So you think just that is enough to win him over!?”

So noisy…

Why are my classmates arguing like that?

If you talk about that kind of thing in a place like that, everyone can hear you clearly, you know?

Hina is giggling right beside me. She seems to be the only one actually enjoying this.

Seriously…

……

I was actually planning to head straight to Hina’s house after school today, but I have to stop by the bookstore to buy some reference book.

After patting Hina’s head, we part ways in front of the school gate.

Wait…doesn’t this kind of make us look like a couple? I’m the one who patted her head, but for some reason, she is the one blushing. This is ridiculous.

Since I’m in the downtown area, I should stop by the shopping mall and buy Hina some sweets that she likes. She used to love sweets like shortcake and roll cake, so she probably still does now, right? Besides, girls generally love sweet things, and even my mom loves cakes too. For some reason, I’m convinced that this is the case.

“Ahaha, that’s so interesting! That’s funny~”

“Ahaha, is that so? Come to think of it…I think girls like stuff like this.”

“Yes! I like this shortcake!”

“Alright. I’ll take this one, please.”

That voice…?

I thought it’s just my imagination, but when I look over, I see Umi standing in front of the cake shop.

More importantly, she isn’t with Saito. She is with another guy.

I still don’t know for sure if she and Saito are actually dating or not, but they’re always together at school, aren’t they? So why is there a guy I don’t know standing next to Umi…? I don’t understand.

What’s going on…? What is this?

“……”

Surprised, I quickly hide myself to avoid being seen.

Judging by his appearance, the guy looks to be in his late 30s, but he definitely isn’t Kitagawa-san.

(TN: Kitagawa-san refers to Umi’s father)

That means…could it be…? No way…? Is this what I think it is?

“Ahaha, thank you so much as always~!”

“Of course, anything for cute little Umi. Fufu.”

“Thank you for this wallet too. I’ve wanted this for so long!”

“Hahaha, I’m glad you like it.”

Hey, hey, hey…are you serious…!?

Umi, are you really doing something like that…? Have you really fallen that far?

Honestly, I have only ever seen this kind of thing online. This is my first time witnessing it with my own eyes. I can’t believe it. To think that I’ve been dating someone like this for an entire year? I really thought she would never betray me?

Again, I am shocked.

Are you serious…?

“Where should we go next?”

“Hmm…I’d like to have dinner together soon.”

“Let’s go then.”

She never talked like that in front of Saito, right? She is using such a cute voice. Even cuter than when they were at the family restaurant…

The Umi now is also really different from how she is at school. I’ve never seen Umi act so sweet and clingy before.

I secretly take a picture of the two of them.

“……”

Now that I think about it, Umi’s social media…

She never shows the face of the guy in her posts. So that means, Saito isn’t the only one.

That’s right, no matter how rich Saito is, there is no way he could have bought Umi all those that on his own.

So, there is only one conclusion—

“…Umi. What the hell are you doing?”
