Buying a Weeping Girl Under the Wintry Sky, and Making Her Too Happy. - Chapter 30: Rivalry

Rivalry

“It’s Kuroshima-kun after all!”

“I guess so. See you later.”

Yeah, I think I can leave this place with a nice and natural feeling. My intuition tells me that I should leave this place quickly.

“You aren’t supposed to say ‘see you later’! You can’t be bothering me any more than you already are!”

“No, it seems that Akikaze has a companion, so I thought it would be better for both of us if we just leave it at that.”

“Oh, don’t worry about me. But can I ask you one thing?”

No, I want you to be concerned about that. Besides, I heard that Akikaze’s friend wants to ask me something, what is it? I wonder if they want to know about Akikaze in middle school.

“If it’s something I can answer, fine.”

“Then, be at ease. Are you Mio’s boyfriend or something?”

“…Who’s Mio?

“It’s me! It’s Akikaze Mio! I was hoping you could remember my name properly!”

Ah, Akikaze’s full name.Yeah, I think there was a name like that. Besides, even if I was told to remember it, I usually only call her Akikaze so it doesn’t matter if I don’t remember the name, right?

“Oh. …You’re not her boyfriend or anything, are you…?”

“Of course not?”

“It’s complicated for me to be called ‘of course not’…Hey, Kuroshima-kun. I’d also like to ask, is the girl behind you, a relative of yours?”

“…Relative?”

Oh, by the way, I misrepresented Miyu to Akikaze before by saying she was a relative. ….I didn’t tell Miyu about it, but I’m sure she’ll figure it out and talk to me about it.

“Oh, yes.”

“Kazuya-kun? When did I become a relative of Kazuya-kun?”

“……”

She didn’t guess at all. …She’s usually mysteriously perceptive, but why is she so insensitive in times like this…? This is definitely a pain in the ass…

“That’s what she says, but Kuroshima-kun? What does that mean?”

“…That’s what it means.”

“Kuroshima-kun, she’s indeed your girlfriend, right!?”

“No, she’s not my girlfriend.”

“I’m Miyu Hakumu, Kazuya-kun’s girlfriend.”

“….Miyu-san?”

What the hell is Miyu talking about? How long have we been together? Oh, I see. She has already made the tactful decision to make herself my girlfriend so we can get out of this situation faster.

“…Akikaze is the person who went to eat crepes with Kazuya-kun the other day, right? I haven’t heard that she was such a cute person…”

I feel like she’s whispering, but what is she saying? Well, there’s nothing I can do if I can’t hear, so I’ll move along with Miyu’s quick thinking.

“The other day I was embarrassed. I was too embarrassed to say it the other day, but that’s what I meant.”

I guess that’s a perfect answer. I’m not sure why, but when I look at Miyu, she’s looking at me with very serious eyes.

“Why are you such a stick-in-the-mud…?.Then you should be a little more shy now, too….”

“….Kazuya-kun’s an idiot.”

Apparently, it wasn’t my answer that was the problem, but the way I answered it. But I guess it’s okay. Because…

“So, we’re not going anywhere, are we?”

All we had to do was to walk away from this place right now. The other side might have been annoyed if it was just Akikaze, but since she had her friends with her, she wouldn’t try to stop us any longer.

“Ah, yes.”

“Bye.”

“See you at work, okay?”

Okay. I think I’ll be able to leave this place in good shape this time. As I walked away from Akikaze and her friend, Miyu walked alongside me and wrapped her arms around me. No, that …Even if she pretends it in front of her, she doesn’t have to go that far…?

“Um, …Miyu? What are you doing?”

“Hey, Kazuya-kun. I’m sure you’ll be able to tell me why I’m being treated like a relative, right?”

“…Yes.”

On the way to the crepe shop, I explained to Miyu why she was supposed to be my relative. The only explanation is that she was seen by our store manager as we were leaving the hospital on our way home, and she was mistaken for a girlfriend, so I decided to let her be my relative

“….If that’s the case, why didn’t you just make me your girlfriend from the start? …Kazuya-kun’s idiot.”

“….I’m sorry.”

In addition, Miyu kept her arm around me until we arrived at the crepe shop.

“…Did Akikaze really eat this?””

“If you don’t want to… you don’t really have to eat it, you can throw it away?”

“…. I won’t do that. I will  definitely eat it.”

As soon as we got to the crepe shop, Miyu asked me which crepe I bought for Akikaze, and when I said the special strawberry custard crepe, Miyu urged me to buy it, so I did, and when Miyu saw the crepe, she pulled a face. The second time I saw it, I even thought it was impossible. Even so, Miyu managed to eat the entire crepe.

For some reason, Miyu seems to have a rivalry with Akikaze, but why?
