Episode 25: The Reply to my Junior
TL: lime
ED: Spynine01
The next day, Monday.
After school, in the library.
I was facing my junior of the library committee, Tomi Ayako.
She is a beautiful girl with a fragile impression, characterized by her shiny black hair.
“…What’s wrong?”
“I just wanted to reply to what you said the other day.”
Tightened, Ayako held her chest.
“That … I’m sorry!”
I bowed my head to her.
“I’m actually already married…! So I can’t answer your feelings… Sorry!”
There was a brief silence between us.
I looked up, curious to see if there was any reaction from her.
“…………”
Ayako looked like she was about to cry…. but she didn’t shed a single tear.
“…Don’t apologize, please. It’s not your fault.”
“But…”
“…I knew about it. It’s Komoro-senpai, isn’t it? The other party.”
“W-Why do you know about that…?”
“…When I saw senpai and Komoro-senpai coming to school this morning, I understood everything immediately. The rumors were true. That senpai loves her.”
I was being watched by a lot of people, wasn’t I?
That’s right. Rin is beautiful, and so she stands out pretty bad.
“Sorry…”
“It’s okay… Please don’t apologize. I have no intention of interfering with a happy couple.”
Ayako smiled.
…I’m sure it must be very painful for her, but she still smiled just so that I wouldn’t mind a thing.
“…I think you two are perfect for each other.”
“Ayako… It’s not that I don’t hate you. But I have Rin, and she’s very important to me.”
“…I’m glad to hear that.”
Ayako shook her shoulders.
I’m sorry… but I’m not going to change my mind.
“I’m sorry.”
“…Mou. Senpai. You apologize too much. You didn’t do anything wrong, remember?”
“But…”
Ayako smiled and came closer to me.
“…Look, senpai. I’m sure Komoro-senpai is out there waiting for you.”
“Y-Yeah…but…”
“…Please go. You wouldn’t be a good husband if you keep your wife waiting, right?”
Turned, She pushed me backwards, making me turn my body around.
“…Hey, Senpai.”
“What…?”
“…Will you continue to be good friends with me?”
I couldn’t look back.
I couldn’t see her face currently.
“O-Of course I will. You’re an important junior to me.”
“…I’m so relieved to hear that.”
Pushed… Ayako pushed me back.
“…Senpai. Thank you for your continued support as my senior.”
I turned around.
I could see that she was smiling.
…I’m sorry, but I’m still going to do what I can to help you out in the future.
“Yeah, see you.”
“…Yes, see you.”
I looked towards the exit and left the library.
★
I, Ayako Tomi, like Taro Omachi.
When I saw that he had left, I immediately crouched down on the spot.
“…Senpai.”
Tears started flowing down my face.
Why didn’t I have the courage to say it earlier?
Why couldn’t I have been more proactive in my approach to him?
“…Senpai. I like you… I like you… Senpai… Senpai…”
I kept my voice down so that my senpai wouldn’t hear me from the outside.
“Even though I have to give up on you… I don’t want to be a burden to you, and I don’t want to… interfere with your happiness…”
The passionate feelings for my senpai that are swirling around in my heart are not going to disappear anytime soon.
“…I can’t give up on Senpai.”
My senpai is probably back with Komoro-senpai by now.
I’ve seen it already.
This morning, I saw them looking very happy together.
I knew everything, but I still couldn’t let go of my feelings for him.
But more important than that… It’s more important that my senpai remains happy rather than me.
I have no intention of interfering with his happiness.
But… but…
“…No. I can’t let him see me like this.”
That person is really kind.
If he sees me crying, he’d be very distressed.
I’ll be his good junior.
As long as I can push down my feelings for him… and stay by his side with my best wishes for his happiness, I will be happy.
…Actually.
I wanted to be the one standing next to him. I wanted to be there as his woman, standing together, side by side.
But now, that’s Komoro-senpai’s position.
I’m not going to take that away from her.
I don’t think I can destroy someone else’s happiness… in order to make myself happy.
“…Senpai.”
I stood up and went towards the nearest window.
When I looked out, I saw Senpai and Komoro-senpai walking together side by side.
“…I support you. I’ll support your happiness… If it makes you happy.”
