Having Had My Bride Stolen, I Just Want to Live Peacefully - Chapter 5

Amagamine High School.

The school boasts the highest level of deviation in Japan, and although it is public, it is popular because of its free school style that values the autonomy of students.

The school was crowded with students during the lunch break.

They sit on the bench, enjoy chatting with friends and classmates, and play soccer on the field.

However, as soon as a female student appears through the gate, the air changes, and the gaze is focused on one point.

“Wow, it’s Fujisaki-senpai. She’s too pretty again today!?”

“I can’t believe my eyes because her face is so small no matter how many times I look at it.”

“As a fellow girl, I’m going to lose confidence. I’m jealous that her hair is always shiny, and I wonder if she has a secret.”

“That’s natural, isn’t it? I can’t stand the fact that her inner color is red even though she’s really neat from a distance.”

“I understand that. What’s more, the gap between wearing earrings with that neat and elegant face is too precious. I feel like I’m going to wake up.”

Every time she walked, she made a glimmer of claims with black hair and a red inner collar, and for a woman, she was tall, small-faced, and delicate, and a girl who seemed to embody a girl’s longing walked lightly.

Fujisaki Nene, a school celebrity, made headlines among the girls.

A man playing soccer was cramping his legs because he was fascinated by her, but it was none of her business.

Nene didn’t have to worry about it because it was a daily routine for her to get attention.

When Nene arrives at the classroom, she attracts the attention of the students in the classroom.

One of the girls spoke.

“Nene, good morning!!”

“Good morning, Himari.”

She was a girl with beautifully curled blond hair and a well-organized face, boldly revealing her legs from a short skirt, and a rich valley from three open buttons that almost showed her underwear.

She’s the right girl to be of a gyaru, Nakamura Himari.

She waved her hand small, so it was clear that they were close.

“Geez, Miu was so worried that you’re late!”

She hugged Nene with her pink hair pigtails and cute features that almost spilled her eyes, her thighs glaring between her black knee-high skirt, her black nails, and thick-bottomed shoes. She was Yokoyama Miu.

“I’m sorry for making you worry, Miu. But since it’s hot, let’s go.”

Nene pushes Miu’s head off.

“Gosh, Nene is cold-hearted!”

This is the usual conversation between the two, Miu seems to be having a good time.

The three girls were called the three most beautiful girls in their third year of high school.

“They have a very powerful atmosphere that three of them got together.”

“Miu-chan hugged her. So soft.”

“I want Fujisaki-san to treat me cold-shouldered, and I can’t stand that piercing stare.”

“No, it’s Nakamura-san. It’s rumored that she likes anime despite her appearance.”

“I just want to keep an eye on these three.”

Among healthy high school boys, they don’t talk about them all the time.

Each girl had their fan club, and they were so popular that they fought among their factions.

Some are neutral.

“But it’s the first time that Nene has ever been late, right?”

When asked by Himari, Nene replies, “Is that so?”

“That’s right! What’s wrong with Nene-chi!?”

Miu opened her big eyes further and exclaimed in surprise.

“I sent a message to everyone on the Line, though?”

“Are you sick? No, I’m sure it’s a lie! Because you always cook for yourself and take good care of your diet, and you always take care of your health!”

“There are days like that.”

“Eh, you have always been able to aim for the full attendance award without being late or absent.”

“Well, that’s how she came to school, and that’s all right now!”

Miu seemed to hold back, but there was a crack in it.

Nene murmurs, “I’m not the one who’s sick.”

“But it’s already the end of the lunch break, huh? Aww, I’m so excited that I can’t eat the side dishes of Nene’s bento today.”

“That’s really what it is!”

Himari and Miu were whining with their mouths pointed.

“Everyone always takes a bite and takes it away.”

“It’s delicious, so there’s nothing we can do about it?”

“That’s really amazing.”

“Hehe, thank you.”

Nene laughs softly.

It was a smile that showed only the relationship she felt comfortable with.

Though the boys were troubled by her smile, this was not something that Nene knew either.

After school.

The three were talking in a noisy classroom with students freed from class.

“Nene, gosh, what do we do after school? Let’s go to karaoke?”

“Sorry, I’m working part-time today.”

“Sorry Himari-chi, Miu is on a date today!”

Himari was shocked when Nene and Miu turned her down.

“Eh, you both have plans!? I felt like singing today! Hmm, I think I should invite otaku-kun and go to karaoke with anime songs.”

And they would greet each other again and set out on their way home.

◇◆◇

“Nene, welcome home.”

“I’m home.”

Nene’s mother greets her gently when she comes back from her part-time job.

“Nene-sama.”

“It’s all right.”

The servant immediately tries to hold Nene’s cat’s bag, but Nene stops it with her hand.

When the servant saw it, they withdrew at once.

“Good work till late at night. But even if you didn’t work part-time, I would give you pocket money.”

“Mom, as I said before, I want to make my own money.”

“That’s great, but you can always tell me when you need it, right?”

“…Thanks.”

The Fujisaki family runs the Fujisaki Group, one of the largest companies in Japan.

Though they had great wealth, Nene thought it different to use it as if it were her own.

“By the way, you left home earlier than usual today. Did something happen?”

“I had to leave early because of a bit of work to do.”

“Oh gosh, Nene’s were in charge of that matter? What kind of duty is it?”

“…A person who takes care of animals?”

Nene replied as she tilted her head.

“What kind of animal is it?! Let your mother hear it!”

Her mother’s eyes sparkle when she hears that she mentions animals.

Her mother was very fond of animals.

“Um, it’s big and scary at first glance, but it’s actually delicate and cute. Like a big black dog?”

Nene thinks of a man apologizing with his big body slightly smaller.

“A big black dog, by any chance, is it a Belgian Shepherd Dog Groenendael? Oh, your mother would like to take care of one too.”

“Mom, you’re allergic to dogs, so you can’t do it.”

Her mother loved animals, but she was allergic to many animals and couldn’t keep them at home.

“That’s right. That’s it, go and take a picture!”

“Well, one day.”

“Nene’s so mean.”

Her mother protested by puffing up her cheeks. Her figure was so cute that she didn’t feel like her age.

“Yes, yes,” Nene said lightly.

“Does that mean you’ll be leaving early again tomorrow?”

“Yeah, I’ll be out at about the same time tomorrow… Where’s dad?”

“Your father has been dealing with many places since that happened, and it seems that he will be late today.”

“I see.”

“We don’t still know where Himeno went, and I think it’s probably the house of that boy who took her―”

“Don’t talk about my sister.”

There was a strong feeling of rejection in her interruption of her mother’s words.

“I will never forgive anyone who has done such a terrible thing to brother-in-law.”

After that talk, she headed to her room.

In a king-size canopy bed, Nene was in agony as she was flapping her feet and burying her face in the clothes she had borrowed from Arata.

Ugh, it was hard to resist being happy when she received the clothes.

She really wanted to bury her face at once like this.

And he didn’t find out that she patted his head while he was sleeping, did he?

All he remembered was until he fell down… It should be fine, right?

Nene looked up and touched her burning cheek gently with her fingertips.

She was very nervous when she was touched on the cheek.

She didn’t know a man’s hands were so big and strong.

Because he is tall and has a handsome face, he is often misunderstood coldly, but he is a timid person who cares more than anyone else.

Even for her, who was younger than him, he treated her as an equal, and when he apologized and looked at her face, he felt like a big dog was depressed and cute, and she wanted to hug him.

Nene hugged the sweatshirt she had borrowed from Arata.

“Arata-san, Arata-san, Arata-san. Now it’s Nene’s turn to sleep. I’ll comfort you again tomorrow, okay?”
