Episode 8: Confession from the President and Brief Difficulties

TL: lime
ED: Spynine01

It was the end of the second period.

When I arrived at my seat after finishing PE class, I found a cute letter kept on my desk.

『I have something important to tell you, so please meet me on the roof at lunchtime.』

I thought it was a prank by some of my classmates, but at the end of the letter was the name of the president of the class,【 Emily Hijirikogen】.

What does she want from me? I really wonder what she could want from me.

Normally, when a girl calls you to a secluded place all-alone, a confession event is the standard, but in my case…

Well, that’s basically impossible.

There’s no way a guy like me… would be lucky enough to get a confession from anyone.

And so I went to the rooftop.

“Sorry for interrupting your lunchtime.”

“No, no, It’s fine. So what… Did you want to tell me?”

Emily approached me with a serious face.

She has a cute face, a completely different type of face from Rin’s.

This is amazing, she’s coming so close to me.

Wait, wait! You’re too close…! Your chest! Your big breasts are about to hit me!

“Omachi-kun. About what Komoro-san said earlier… is it true that you’re married to Komoro-san?”

W-What’s this about…?

“It’s a joke, of course.” I’m sorry Rin. But I don’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

“I see… You know, I’m watching the class in my position. You see, my seat’s at the back, right in the middle row, right?”

“T-That’s right. So?”

“That’s why… I know. Somehow I can figure out who likes who in the class…”

Amazing, is she an esper or something!?

“Komoro-san clearly likes Omachi-kun. That’s for sure.”

“E-heh… Is that so… W-Well, we have known each other since our childhood.”

“No. I think Komoro-san’s love is not that kind of affectionate love. She really really loves you…”

“Y-You know about that?”

“I know since… I do too.”

“Huh… e…eh…?”

When I was suddenly confused, Emily blushed and said,

“H-Hey. I’m going to ask you something strange… Are you dating someone right now, Omachi-kun?”

“N-No…”

I’m not in a relationship, but I am married.

So I’m technically not lying here.

“I-Is that so! I’m glad~…”

Emily was truly relieved.

E-eh? What? Why?

Why is it good if I’m not in a relationship?

“You know, Omachi-kun. I… like… you.”

“E-eh-… Like? Like!? W-Why!?”

I didn’t understand what she meant.

Me? Me, who’s all alone in this class!?

“Ah, I get it! You’re kidding, right!”

“No. I’m serious. Omachi-kun. Taro Omachi-kun.”

She was not smiling right now.

Se-Seriously? Are you really serious? Is this supposed to be some kind of a surprise for me?

“What do you think, Omachi-kun?”

“W-Why…”

I’ve been in the same class as her for the first and second year, and I think she’s a nice person to talk to.

But… I don’t really like her in that sort of way.

“How about me? Am I not worthy of being your girlfriend?”

“No, you’re not! The President is an amazing person. She’s the idol of the entire class… and I just… I don’t think I’m good enough for a person like you.”

I’ll decline her confession here. It would be bad for Rin if I decided to actually accept it here after all..

But even though I’m trying to guide her in the opposite direction, Emily takes another step forward.

A soft rubber ball hits me.

Her big breasts are…! They’re hitting me d-directly!

Tepid… warm… ahh, they’re so… No! Stop! What am I feeling right now!?

“Omachi-kun. Don’t be so down on yourself. You’re a wonderful person.”

“T-Thank… you. I’m… glad you feel that way. But… I still can’t”

I pushed Emily’s shoulder.

“Then… why? Do you hate me?”

“I don’t hate you! I couldn’t hate you, never!”

“Then… why not…? You aren’t even dating anyone, right?”

“That’s true, but…”

I don’t know how to explain my situation to her anymore!

Someone help me-!

That’s when it happened.

“Oh Taro, you’re here.” (TL: rin saves the day… wew)

“Rin!”

The door to the rooftop opened.

There was a beautiful black-haired girl at the direction of that voice. Rin Komoro was standing at the entrance to the rooftop.

“H-Hey, do you need something from me? I’ll be right there! See you later, President!”

I immediately tried to leave. [ED: he really just tried to dip after a confession huh…]

“Wait, Omachi-kun.”

Emily grabbed my arm with a firm grip.

“We’re still talking, okay?”

“But, you know, Rin is over there waiting for me.”

Pout~… As Emiri sulked, she pouted her lips.

“Do you like Komoro-san? Do you prefer Komoro-san more than me?”

“No, that… Why are you talking about what I like right now?”

“Because…! I like Omachi-kun more than Komoro-san!”

She was kind to everyone, and I had never seen her raise her voice in any way before this.

Only in front of me did she actually show such an expression.

B-But… W-Why?

Do you really like me…?

“Hey, Omachi-kun. Please wait. Listen to me properly. I really like you.”

“No, I’m sorry but… I can’t go out with you.”

“Why not? Hey? Are you dating Komoro-san?”

“That’s… not it.”

Seemingly bored at this situation, Rin comes over to us.

“So troublesome”

Rin shakes Emily’s hand away and holds my hand directly.

“Come on. Let’s go, Taro.”

“Wait, Komoro-san.”

Emily grabs my other hand.

“I’m in the middle of an important conversation with Omachi-kun. Please leave us alone.”

“What’s that? Please don’t touch my husband.”

“Wa-Wait Rin!”

What are you saying now!?

“Your husband…You said that earlier, but what kind of relationship do you actually have?”

This is scary… the always smiling idol is actually angry for once.

I’ve never seen her angry even once before…

“We’re a couple. We’re already married, aren’t we?”

“Don’t be silly! It’s impossible for high school students to get married at this age!”

“Well, I’m telling the truth.”

“It’s a lie, right Omachi-kun!? You’re not actually married to her, right…?”

“E-eh…no, that’s… we’re actually… Yes, it’s true. I’m sorry.”

I thought it would be bad for Rin and I if I had decided to lie here.

As expected… Yeah.

“It’s a… lie, right…? I don’t believe it…”

“It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not. Let’s go, Taro.”

Rin pulls my hand and starts to walk away.

“N-No, I want to talk with him a little more!”

Specifically, please don’t talk about our marriage to anyone else! [ED: This is just supposed to be a thought that he wants to say to Emily]

“No. Tarou is mine. I won’t give him up to anyone.”

In the end, Rin wouldn’t let me go and left Emily all-alone.

“I’ll never give up, I’ll-.”
