I Was Unreasonably Dumped By My Girlfriend And Had My Heart Broken. When I Rescued A Beautiful Girl Who Was My Former Classmate And Idol In My Class From A Group Of Yarisa, My Gray College Life Started To Shine - Chapter 54
Chapter 54: The Person Who Shouldn’t Be Here
♢
“What are you talking about?”
Though I retorted, I already had a vague idea of what was going on.
“It’s no use playing dumb. We’ve heard everything from Asuka-chan.”
“As soon as you went to Tokyo, you got hooked on a rental girlfriend and dumped her. Unbelievable.”
“Asuka-chan is here in the back. You should just leave.”
…Asuka, you’ve really done it this time.
Was this her revenge for me ignoring her messages?
I glared towards the back of the restaurant where Asuka was surrounded by a group of girls.
“Don’t look at me, scumbag.”
The whole story had been completely fabricated.
In reality, Asuka had abruptly dumped me, Aoba wasn’t a rental girlfriend, and this whole situation was a mess.
A male friend of mine appeared and tried to back me up, saying, “No, it seemed like Umeno dumped him”.
The girls won’t listen.
It was an outrageously malicious lie.
Moreover, it was cunningly spread among the girls I wasn’t close to, making the situation even more unpleasant.
Because of this, they completely believed Asuka and saw me as a common enemy among them.
However, if I could show them that infuriating message Asuka sent me on the day of the entrance ceremony, they would understand. But—
I had deleted all messages from Asuka and blocked her. I had no proof to show anymore.
…There’s no way to prove my innocence, is there?
Come to think of it, I had told Asuka that I deleted the messages. She must have considered this when she told such lies.
Probably as revenge for ignoring her messages.
“Get out of here already!”
One of the girls shouted loudly, drawing everyone’s attention to us.
All my former classmates in the restaurant turned their gaze towards me and the girls.
“…It wasn’t me. She suddenly dumped me.”
“Still lying even now? Do you know how much she suffered? Her social media was a mess because of you.”
“It was me who suffered.”
I bit down my rising frustration.
Even the mess on social media wasn’t because of me. It was some playboy whose identity I didn’t even know who had treated her terribly.
But saying that here wouldn’t help. They were all on Asuka’s side.
The lively atmosphere of the class reunion had frozen over.
A place that should have been fun had turned into a scene from hell.
“Just get out.”
One girl opened the door while another nudged my shoulder, knowing I wouldn’t retaliate against a girl.
“Hey, that’s too much. You don’t even know the real story.”
“Yeah, calm down a bit.”
Some of the boys, including my friends, and even a few girls, tried to step in and stop the commotion.
The reunion that was supposed to be fun was turning into chaos. Some girls even started crying.
Just when things seemed beyond control, someone entered the restaurant.
I thought it might be another latecomer, so I turned around.
But standing there was someone who shouldn’t be here.
It was Hikari Aoba.
