Bizarre Love Triangle - Zetro Translation

TL: Listless

(For nu mods, I am the original translator of this novel and is hosting my translation in zetro group so you can approve it)

But… the topic has spread in a slightly maniacal direction.

Haruka, can you answer well……..

[Well…..my father bought it for me.]

[It’s nice.was it a birthday gift?]

[No, it was a…….hospital discharge gift.]

[Huh, hospital discharge gift? Was Minase-san hospitalised?]

[Ah,umm….that…]

Haru’s eyes begin to swim in the blink of an eye.

She seems to be mumbling, unable to say the following words.

So I guess “discharge” is when she was discharged from the hospital due to dual personality——That’s where I come in.

[Ah……..are you talking about that? About the appendix, you mentioned this morning]

I fabricated the story suddenly.

[You were in the hospital for a while last year with your appendix, right? You said your father was the overprotective type. …… Isn’t that right?]

[…….. that, that’s right]

With an expression as if she was saved, Haruka nodded.

[I see, father was very worried about you, so he said he would buy you anything you want…!]

[I see, I’m jealous. I wish my parents were like that]

Haruka’s true colors almost came out, but it could not be helped.

It’s a good thing that Shuji didn’t seem to notice the change in character because he was focused on the main topic, and he was able to avoid the pursuit.

[By the way, what kind of songs did you like? Rock?]

Are you going to continue the conversation?

[Well… lately I’ve been listening to Lionel Hampton …….]

Surprisingly, Haruka gave a good answer.

Perhaps she had been preparing for something in this area in case she was asked something.

However, her reserves seemed to have been exhausted easily.

[I see, so jazz huh….. what else do you listen to?]

[Um, umm well…….]

[Do you have a favourite instrument or a favourite group?]

[Well yeah…..]

Just in a short time, she seemed to be in a dilemma again.

That’s problematic as it is.

I also don’t have any knowledge about jazz.I couldn’t follow this topic very well….

And then, after a blatantly unnatural silence, Haruka, who was clearly upset even to the casual observer——-finally said something like this.

[Oh that….that…lady Gaga]

[…….]

[I’m listening to lady Gaga recently]

Shujis face which was exciting till now suddenly turned down in bewilderment.

[That’s not…..jazz?]

[Ah? Is that so?]

Haruka rolled her eyes.

Well, that’s even I know that much though.

She Finally desperately found a westerner music artist but Lady Gaga isn’t probably one from jazz.Jazz is more like a live instrumental……music with a swaying rhythm.

Haruka opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, it seems like she couldn’t say anything now.

[Ah, um that should be it!!]

If this happens, I have to fix the story, even if it’s a lie…….!

After attracting attention with a loud voice for the time being, I turned my head at full throttle and turned my head.

[That….you mean when Lady Gaga collaborated with a great jazz musician, quite a while ago right? I remember seeing it on the TV or something]

[Y, yeah that]

Haruka joined my story with a ghost-like face as if she had found the spider’s thread.

[I saw it too, and I’ve been listening to it ever since…..]

[Oh , I didn’t know there was that! As expected of Lady Gaga, isn’t it?]

At the thoughtless words of mine, Sudo’s impression of Lady Gaga seemed to have increased.

And Shuji too,

[Yeah, it was great……]

Shuji said, and then, with a natural motion, started playing with his phone.

[I wonder what kind of music it is….I will search it]

………awful.

What I have said earlier was completely made up by me.

I haven’t heard any collaboration of Lady Gaga with a jazz musician, there’s no way you can find it just by searching.

When I turned to look at Haruka, she was already unable to say something while her eyes were swimming around.

…….. however,

[Oh here it is.that must be the one]

Shuji said it.

[Oh amazing, I didn’t know she did it with Tony Bennett….]

[…….Huh?]

Looking at the smartphone presented by Shuji, there was certainly a video of stylish Lady Gaga doing a duet with an astringent looking middle-aged man.

……….you are kidding, right?

[……….yes, yes.that’s the one.]

Even though I pretend like I know this but inside I was bewildered at the coincidence.

[Minase-san………. that’s the one right? the song you mentioned?]

[Yes, th, that’s the one.]

Haruka also looked as if she had been pinched by a fox.

But well,it can’t be helped.

I can’t believe such a picture-perfect “A horse from a gourd” thing happened…

[TN – it’s a japanese idiom which as you can see from context means something completely unbelievable/unexpected happens from someplace you never expected]

As I was letting out a breath of relief, Haruka, who was sitting across from me, glanced over at me.

And then, she knitted her eyebrows as if to say [I’m really sorry], and bowed her head in a small way so that Sudo and the others would not notice.

That’s how I spent my first day with Haruka.

I felt like an apprentice craftsman who had just finished his first big job.

It had been a really, really hard day.

I felt like I had sweated out half a year’s worth of cold sweat, and used up a year’s worth of luck.

But for all that,I will not not be in such a pinch anymore.

Starting tomorrow, I should be able to spend my days more peacefully.

And if something still happens, then I should be able to get around it based on this time’s experience.

That’s what I was thinking.

As It turned out——–my expectations were totally out of place.

April 12th (Thursday), Haruka

I was careless and dozed off in the middle of the class…….
Moreover just right before switching places with Akiha……
I guess it’s because I was up late watching cat videos last night……..I’m sorry……..
I don’t know how it would have turned out if Yano-kun hadn’t woken me up with a line.
Because it was Chiyoda sensei’s Class, I think she didn’t get much angry……
Thank you very much. I’ll try my best not to fall asleep from now on.

>Akiha
The stain on the pencil case is my drool.
I’m sorry to dirty it…….

April 12th (Thursday), Akiha

>Haruka
So that was a stain from drool huh.you don’t need to worry since it was washed off.
Also, it was a relief to know why I kept getting calls from Yano-kun.
I was surprised to find out that something had happened.
From now on, I’ll set an alarm on my phone to go off five minutes before we switch

April 13th, Yano

You have made a blunder once again.
I couldn’t get the conversation going with Ishikawa (a movie maniac from the next class), who came to meet because after hearing that Akiha likes movies.
Well most likely it will be seen as an impromptu skit.
But I guess Haruka was too sensitive to talk about Doraemon with such a type of maniac.
But it was definitely a good movie.
Wouldn’t it be better to get something a little more connoisseur-friendly?

April 13th (Friday), Akiha

Physical education class in 3rd period.
In the volleyball class, Oshinari-sensei surprised me by saying, “Mizuse-san, you look so different from yesterday”.
I’m sorry.I completely forgot that Haruka is bad at ball games.
I will make sure not to overdo it next time.

April 13th(Friday), Haruka

I’m sorry, I cried watching Doraemon the night before, so that’s all I could think of.
By Movie connoisseur you mean like Crayon shinchan?
Maybe live action movies are better…….?

>Akiha
You can’t do that! Akiha you have to live a normal life!
I will find a way to fit in!
Not only in physical education but I will also do my best in study!

[The last three days……..were considerably tough, no?]

[That’s right]

After school on Friday.

The evaluation meeting that started in the club room had a heavy atmosphere from the beginning.

[We were able to cross them somehow……but it was almost a coincidence……. perhaps it might be just a matter of time before we get caught]

As I threw my upper body on the old desk, I expressed my impressions of the meeting so far.

[You’re right……it’s not good as it is]

Haruka turned the globe with the Soviet Union still on it with an exhausted look on her face and sighed around the Adriatic Sea.

Really, I’ve been in shambles for a while now.

We have been in pinch multiple times and it’s a repetition of barely clearing them or not.

I forcibly conceal the rough conversation, hurriedly supporting it when it was about to become a mess, tired of waking her everyday when she was nodding off through mail, Haruka was also exhausted from all the successive tension.

Although the double personality hasn’t been exposed, there must be some people who thought it was strange.

[I’m really sorry for causing all the trouble. I also didn’t think things would go so haywire myself…….]

[No, I don’t mind that at all. I do have a connection with Akiha after all…..]

Being around Haruka meant that I was able to spend time around Akiha.

I have been able to talk with her multiple times in the last three days and Haruka also has been actively making opportunities.
