I’m Betrayed by My Childhood Friend Who is Also My Lover, but My Other Childhood Friend Healed Me, So I Feel Like I Can Recover and Be Happy ~Is it True That Friendship Between a Man and Woman is Impossible? - Chapter 25
Last Days (1)
After receiving the investigation report, I decide it’s time to bring down the curtain.
With that, I contact the person who started it all.
With determination, I explain the situation to him and ultimately managed to convince him to meet me in person.
I also contact Kouta, whom I asked the investigation report from, to ensure that everything will go smoothly.
With everything in place, I go to the meeting place.
After waiting for a while, the scumbag finally arrives, wearing a smug expression on his face.
The restaurant which is usually bustling with people on weekends, is now reserved exclusively for us, thanks to Mom’s connections.
I’m actually reluctant to use my parents’ connections, but if I say it’s for Airi’s sake, Mom will probably understand.
Despite being late, the scumbag sits down in front of me without an apology, acting all high and mighty.
“So, what’s the loser who lost his childhood friend calling me for? Are you going to complain to me about it?”
“Let’s forget about Chitose for now. Airi is not some pawn you can manipulate.”
“What are you talking about? Just see, I’ll make her mine in no time.”
He says so without hesitation.
I can’t help but wonder if he really has any sense of reason at all.
“You really can’t be helped, can you?”
“You’re the one who can’t be helped. You lost your childhood sweetheart to me without a fight. What a pathetic bastard. By the way, I had sex with Chitose yesterday.”
“…yeah, I know.”
My feelings and affection towards my childhood friends still lingers.
I couldn’t prevent Chitose from crossing that line.
“What? You knew about it and didn’t try to stop her? Heartless, aren’t you? Or maybe, don’t tell me, you have a fetish of being cuckolded? Maybe you’d like to see our sex tape?”
The scumbag wears an even more contemptible expression on his face and laughs as he says so.
“I know that you’ve broken up with her, but even though you know that your precious childhood friend needs your help…you neglected her.”
Yes, that is entirely my fault.
I asked Kouta to observe Hiruma and protect Airi.
At that time, I let my hatred take over me and neglected Chitose’s situation.
I glare at the scumbag without hiding my hostility.
“Hahaha, in the end, you can’t help your precious childhood friends, can you? You really are a loser after all.”
I’m fed up by the scumbag trying to make himself look superior by belittling others.
So, I give him a final warning.
“This is your final warning…apologize to Chitose, and don’t ever get involved with Airi and us again.”
“What are you talking about? Chitose had sex with me of her own accord. Also, it’s my freedom to approach Airi-chan.”
The scumbag mentioned Airi’s name so casually.
I got really pissed off by it.
“Don’t you dare say Airi’s name so casually!”
“Oh, scary, scary. Even a wimp like you can get angry, huh? I thought you are just a spineless coward, but looks like you’ve got some balls after all. Ahahaha.”
The scumbag continues to speak condescendingly.
It seems like he thinks that he has complete control of the situation.
Suddenly, I got a message on my smartphone.
So, it’s time to bring an end to all of this, huh?
I make up my mind once again.
Doing this means destroying a family with my own hands…
In the end, I choose a future with Airi over a future with Chitose…
“Do you know what this is?”
I show the scumbag a photo attached to the investigation report.
He seems to be slightly flustered but quickly regains his composure, returning to his smirk as he responds.
“It’s too late to show me something like this now. It might work if you showed this to me before we had sex.”
I’m reminded that there are truly people beyond help in this world.
Is he really that stupid?
How can he not understand the meaning of this photo…?
“You truly are beyond help, aren’t you? How can you not understand the reason why I’m showing you this photo? Your brain seems to only work to satisfy your sexual desires.”
“Coming from a cuckolded loser like you, it doesn’t even make me feel bad.”
At that moment, the door to the restaurant opens.
“Well then, let me introduce you to the other party involved—the husband of Chiaki Karasuma, the woman who entered the hotel with you, Toshihisa Karasuma.”
