Bizarre Love Triangle - Zetro Translation

If I were to become friends with Haruka, would there be any problems?

I wonder if there is something to worry about?

[Because maybe you will be troubled……no, not maybe, you will definitely be troubled.i don’t think it will benefit Yano-kun in any way. Maybe it will be painful, sad or you may get hurt….]

[…….Really?]

[Yes….]

[Why?]

[Well that’s..]

Then she lowered her eyes to her lap,

[…….that child……that]

…….I wonder what?What does Akiha want to say?

What’s that making her so worried about?

At that time, the smartphone inside the pocket buzzed.

After seeing Akiha looking down, I look at the screen——-a line message was sent to a group of some friends.

Itsuka [Breaking News] Yano-kun and Miss Minase decided to have alone time together in a cafe from the morning.

[TN – originally it was Minase-Shi where Shi is used in formal writing, and sometimes in very formal speech, for referring to a person who is unfamiliar to the speaker but since not many people know it like -kun and -san honorific, I have changed it to Miss]

—–I raised my face in panic.

I look around the store—–they are not here.

If that’s the case then outside the cafe—-

I looked out the window near my seat to the street—–found them.

Over a small intersection.A petite girl hiding behind a telephone pole and looking at me with a grin.

She’s one of my classmates, Sudou Itsuka.

I think she is hiding herself but I can see her left and right tie up hair and half of her face peeking out.

I mean, Shuji is laughing near her, not even trying to hide.if you are together then at least stop her.

[….. what’s the matter?]

Before I knew it, Akiha was looking up at me suspiciously.

[No, it’s just…..I receive such messages]

Putting off the earlier story for the time being.

I said so and held out my smartphone to Akiha.

[ Itsuka…..is that your friend?]

[That’s right. Or rather she is Sudo, who is in the same class as us. Look, that person who is Secretly trying to hide behind the telephone poll]

[Ah, that girl…..who is the person beside her?]

[He is Hiro Shuji. He is also friend of mine from same class]

While we were talking, my smartphone kept vibrating in my hand, alerting me to new messages.

I looked at the screen.

Tommy [ Are you serious?]

SHIZUKU [ wh, what? Are they dating?]

Itsuka. [Maybe so!]

Itsuka [somehow, they seems too close]

Itsuka [(Sticker of a dog with complacent smile)]

SHIZUKU [Actually if you aren’t going out then you will not meet in cafe so early]

Tommy [Indeed]

Shiki [All wrong, I’m not!]

Shiki. [ we just happened to meet while commuting to school, that’s all, you idiot]

Itsuka [Oh! Here comes the person in question]

[…….what kind of exchange are you having?]

As I was typing a quick message, Akinami leaned forward.

[I also want to see]

Her face came close to mine, at close range.

The scent of shampoo tickles my nose, and her lips are glossy up close.

For a moment I couldn’t breathe……but I kept my composure and tilted my phone 90 degrees so that we can both look into the screen.

[Well, that’s just a silly experience, just a joke so you don’t need to mind…]

[Umm]

With an honest face, Akiha nodded her head like a child.

Itsuka [Oh hey, they started to get there shoulders close]

Tommy [Seriously?]

Tommy. [Yano-san, is it true that you are engaged with Minase-san?]

SHIZUKU [When are you planning to fill up entry in the family register?]

Shiki. [Are you guys elementary kids!?]

Shiki. [I’m just showing the screen of my smartphone]

Shuji. [Congratulations, be sure to invite us to the ceremony, ok?]

Itsuka. [Throw your bouquet toward me,ok?]

Shiki. [Ok, the congratulatory gift per person is 100,000]

Shiki. [Who’s the bride and the groom?

They are really hungry for a topic…….

This time, I’m being used as the topic of conversation, but I guess it doesn’t really matter what the subject is. They just want to have a little fun in the unexciting morning.

………well, as a Matter of fact, myself too.

I don’t hate when people start rumors like this with the person I have a crush on, but………

[………fufu]

Suddenly Akiha spilled a laugh.

[What, what’s the matter?]

[No, just……]

Akiha held her mouth and squinted her eyes when she felt uneasy that I had seen through her feelings——

[Yano-kun—— you really changed completely in front of Everyone unlike in front of me and Haruka. That’s really splendid multiple personalities you have]

[Ah……]

I was so embarrassed that I unconsciously looked up at the sky.

The clock above her head read eleven o’clock, and the wooden dwarf began to dance with the music.

[——-Man, I really thought something was wrong this morning.]

Sudo threw the meatballs into her mouth as she said at the desk opposite each other.

She popped a second one into her mouth again, her cheeks puffing out like a squirrel.

[It was an unexpected two-shot, you know. I was so surprised to find out that you two had been making love without my knowledge.]

[TN – (Two shot) man and woman being alone together]

[Of Course not]

While picking up some broccoli with my chopsticks, I answered in a voice that was two-tone higher than I was used to.

[I’ve only known her for three days! How quick can I be? If I could do that, I’d have a much more impressive dating history!]

[But even from my point of view, your atmosphere seemed to be very close.its really strange for Yano to have those feelings]

[Well……it was simple morning in the coffee shop]

Even though Shuji pointed out sharply, I managed to come up with reasonable excuses.

[I’m not excited, and even if I was, I wouldn’t be able to shout in that situation. We just bumped into each other and talked for a while, that’s all.]

[That’s right. I’m sorry for misunderstanding you, Akiha]

In contrast to me, Sudo offered her juice with an apologetic look on his face.

[I got a little carried away. Here’s some orange juice as an apology. You can drink it!]

After the event of this morning—-

Sudo said [ I want to eat together with Minase-san] and now the four of us, Sudo, Shuji, Minase and myself were having lunch.

Sudo and Shuji have been friends ever since they were in the same class last year and occasionally spend their lunch break together like this. Sudo Itsuka, who is popular in one part of boys for her petite build and cheerfulness and Hiro Shuji who is popular with many girls because of his tall stature, gentle manner and good looks.

Apparently The two highly social people have been watching for an opportunity to get close to Akiha, the new student, for some time now.

I have always been impressed by Their openness.

Of course, they probably know what kind of character they are seen as and what kind of guy they are expected to be. Still, their behavior is natural. There is no sarcasm or falsehood that I can see.

Such being the case, they naturally have a lot of friends and lately they seemed to be having lunch together with the childhood friend from another class.

[……….which reminds me, was it okay today to not eat with them, umm, Hosono of class was it? Didn’t you say he was having some trouble with his girlfriend and couldn’t leave him alone?]

[Ah, he is already fine now]

Sudou laughed as she handed Akiha juice.

[The two of you pretend to be indifferent but you’re secretly in love, so I thought I’d leave you alone and get to know Akiha.]

[…….. yeah]

Akiha nodded nervously while taking the straw out from her mouth.

[Oh , please be gentle with me…….]

She picked up her fork again.

However her eyes were swimming a lot……it should be that.

The truth is, the personality that is currently on display is not Akiha, but Haruka.

I’ve told her what happened this morning, but she seems to be deflated by the sudden involvement of the two so-called “normies”.

I guess I will have to follow up here immediately, it’s dangerous and also bad for my heart.

[Akiha, are you in some kind of club?]

Promptly, Sudou started asking questions from Haruka.

[This school has quite a lot of club activities, are you thinking about joining any?]

[Ah un….no, there wasn’t any particular club I wanted to enter, I still haven’t thought about what kind of club to enter]

[Then, Go-home clubs?What do you usually do at home? Do you like reading books or playing games?

[I read books, but lately I’ve been listening to records and watching movies.]

[Oh, record!]

Shuji’s voice was unusually loud. He swallowed the bread he had bought from the store.

[I’ve been interested in them too. But aren’t players pretty expensive? How did you get it?]

Oh, does this guy also have the same hobby? If I were to inadvertently buy a record, I might think, “Oh, he’s a Murakami Haruki fan,” but when Shuji says it, it doesn’t sound disgusting at all. In fact, it makes him look even more stylish, which will spur his popularity.
