Aren’t You Too Sweet Salt-God Sato-San?

TL: Listless

(For the nu mods, just in case, I’m original translator of this novel from listless domain and have transferred my novels to this group so you can approve it)

If I hadn’t responded because I had gotten overheated in the bath, it wouldn’t have been a laughing matter, hahaha.

While in self-derision, I suddenly looked at my smartphone…..

My eyes were glued to the small time display on the top of the screen.

Oh no!

[I’m late]

It didn’t matter if I confessed or not, I still had school today.

I hurriedly rushed out of my room.

After all, I was still utterly stark naked.

♠️

[Feels like the end of the world]

Endlessly blue sky, early summer sun was shining in the sky, Ren walking alongside with me suddenly said that.

What is he talking about…….I thought, it seems like he is talking about me.

I see. That’s a perfectly fitting phrase.

I let out a deep sigh of self-mockery.

[……..Of course, I just got dumped by my first love just a few hours ago….]

[What, first love in second year of highschool? That’s why virgin are disgusting]

[Haaa……..]

I don’t have energy to rebut Ren’s frivolous talk.

Indeed, I’m disgusted.

Even though I made the first confession in my life with such enthusiasm, the result was that …..

By the way, after that event, the drinking party of Shizuku-san and Mayo-san in haste changed to “Souta-kun’s comfort party until morning”. [TN – Onee-san, souta kun and comfort ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

Mayo-san pacify me with gentle words while Shizuku-san on the other hand seems to have a wierd switch turned and apologized while crying all night, and as a result, I am now going to school alongside Ren, but even after a whole night, my heart has not healed at all.

I had heard rumors about people taking time off from work because of a broken heart, but I knew firsthand what that felt like now.

Seeing me hobbling along with a heavy gait, even Ren felt sorry for me and didn’t bother me any further.

The current doesn’t have enough margin to check my condition but it’s a big deal that Ren for once is reading the atmosphere.

[Don’t be discouraged.there are as many girls as stars after all.

………see, Ren isn’t used to comforting others but he still tried comforting me with cliched words that weren’t like Ren at all.

[First love not going very well, I can relate to it or not, I don’t even remember who my first love was anymore.I think it’s healthier to try different things and finally find the right one than to stick to your first love.]

[Is that how it is……..?]

[That’s how it is. I am the who said that so no doubt]

Certainly, it only has persuasive power……

[Cheer up.Next, there will be next]

[……… what’s next?]

[That’ right……How about my sister, for example! The face and style are good, and she is pretty popular at university]

[……..]

[………no, bad, it was disgusting what i just said now, I didn’t mean it]

[I was relieved]

I sobered up.

[Ah, but if it’s Mayo-san, it should be fine right? That person is definitely beautiful]

[Mayo-san huh…]

Certainly, I think she is beautiful.

She is mature and broad minded person….well roughly speaking, she is a very kind person. Objectively looking, she is a very charming woman, of course I know that much.

[Also, She’s my sister’s friend, so you have a connection, you probably exchanged MINE last night, right?]

[……….I did but]

If there’s something troubling you, you can freely consult me.saying that, Mayo-san told me her MINE ID and also followed Minsta’s account. Shizuku-san did the same.

[Then talk about this on MINE as consultation and also meet with my sister, then after a few times, ask her out on a private date! Look, you can see it! The victory route! I was always thinking if she was old for Souta]

*Ponpon*

Ren clapped my back with painful strength.

……well I really can’t see myself walking alongside maturish Mayo-san so I will just leave it here.

Let’s say, hypothetically, that is the winning route as Ren says, and if I do what he says, I can go out with Mayo-san.

But………

[Still I would have preferred Sato-san……..]

I felt guilty to be consoled by Ren, but such a pathetic comment that spilled out was my true feeling that I couldn’t help myself.

It’s hard to believe, but I’ve heard that first love is almost always broken, and that everyone eventually forgets this pain and starts a new love.

But it’s impossible now.Not even in the slightest

[It’s a serious illness, isn’t it?]

Ren whispers and tilts his head.

[…….But it’s weird, that feeling of failure, my rule of thumb is that it’s definitely…..]

[Stop, stop that weird consolation]

Mayo-san also said this last night but is it the standard phrase to say at the time of consoling a broken hearted person?

As I was thinking about those things…..

[—–Oshio-san!]

Suddenly, I heard my name called out from behind me.

It’s a familiar voice and when I slowly turned back to see, there was……

[Huh, Rinka-chan?]

——–Sudo Rinka, Sato-san’s cousin and a junior high school girl.

She seems to be terribly nervous, shaking her little head,

[Good morning, Rinka-chan, were you alright yesterday? There wasn’t any pain later, right?]

[Eh? Ah…..]

I was greeting her naturally, but she got defensive and stepped back a bit……

……….ehh, perhaps she is on guard?

As I was shocked Secretly behind the smile, Rinka-chan as if deciding something,

[——-Th, Thank you very much for yesterday]

Saying so, she bowed her head deeply.

[No, no.you really don’t need to mind about yesterday’s thing]

[But that bandage on your arm]

[It’s not as bad as it looks, it’s just a little scraped]

Rinka-chan is giving my arm a worried look, as if it were her own.

Ummm… I’m just impressed by your righteousness, but you’re weak. ……

I hold my head in my hands, wondering what to do.Thereupon, Ren who was watching the exchange from the sideline, [really?] In a meaningful voice.

Ah, speaking of which, I have yet to introduce her.

[Ah, my bad Ren. She is Sudo Rinka-chan, cousin of Sato-san]

The moment I mentioned Sato-san’s name, Rinka-chan’s face stiffned all the more but I didn’t understand the true Meaning behind it.

But Ren, on the other hand, seemed to have noticed something and once again said, [……… really?].

He coughed deliberately and said,

[I’m Misono Ren, Nice to meet you Rinka-chan]

[Please don’t call my name so casually]

I was so surprised at the sound of the voice that was colder than the ice.

Ren lips twitched a bit but he continues,

[Ah……..then Sudo-chan, I’m sorry, but Souta’s emotional scars are more serious than his physical scars so can you come next time?]

[Ah, Hey Ren, what are you saying to junior high school students………]

[……..what do you mean by emotional scars?]

[—–He just got dumped yesterday by his first love.]

[You……!]

I hurriedly tried to hold Ren down, but he held his ground because he was in front of Rinka.

I didn’t want junior high school student Rinka to see such a disgraceful part of a high school student.

………No, it’s embarrassing anyway!

Because Rinka-chan seems to be very advanced in that area.

[No way]

—-See, she is speechless!

Wide open eyes and holding down your lips, this is the definitely the pattern which will be followed by malicious strike of [Oshio-kun, first love in Second year of highschool, that’s why Virgin are disgusting]

[………..!]

I glared at Ren in resentment who was deliberately humming a song.

He suddenly pushed me out when I thought he was comforting me, if not for us being good friends, I would have broken our friendship on this spot.

If I was given a look of contempt from Rinka-chan, I would have him take the responsibility……..

[——–O, Oshio-san]

[Huh? Ah, yes?]

I once again replied strangely when my name was abruptly called.

Looking at it, Rinka-chan clasped her smartphone with her trembling hands.

[W, would you like to exchange MINE with me!?]

[What?]

Why this timing?

Rinka-chan seems to very nervous, putting in [ah, umm] meaningless voice multiple times and then tightly shutting her eyes,
