I'm Taking Revenge Because My Beloved Childhood Friend, Who is The Most Beautiful Girl in Our Grade, was Stolen by My Best Friend! - Chapter 9

Chapter 9

On the day of my date with Yozora, I arrive at the station about 5 minutes earlier.

This station is the same station where me and Rei had met for shopping the other day.

I sit down on a nearby bench and say in my heart.

‘Please, let my date go well with Yozora.’

I can’t make any mistakes here…wait, if I think about it, this is like my first real date with a girl.

I’ve known Rei for so long that going out on a date with her doesn’t feel like a real date. It feels like I’m going out with my childhood friend or my sibling rather than going out on a date with my girlfriend.

When I think about such thoughts, my heart starts to beat faster…

Exactly at 10 o’clock Yozora arrives at the station.

“Thank you for waiting! Did you wait for a long time?”

“No, I just arrived myself. I didn’t expect you to be on time, I’m a bit surprised.”

“What do you mean by that!?”

“Ahahaha, I’m just kidding.”

Yozora is dressed in a beautiful, neat black dress.

I don’t know why, but I’m getting really nervous right now. My heart is throbbing.

Yozora is truly beautiful.

I can sense guilt deep within my heart, but for the sake of my revenge…I have to endure it.

“Then, let’s go now.”

“Yeah!”

The aquarium we’re heading to is just two train stops away from here.

We directly go to the station and get onto the train.

After riding the train for about ten minutes, we get off at the Shizuhama station.

“Let’s see, the Shizuhama aquarium is located at…”

I said so while looking it up on the map using my phone.

“Ah I know how to get there from here.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I was so excited last night that I already checked how to go from the station to the aquarium.”

“What a reliable person you are.”

What a horrible person I am, I’m just playing with her feelings for my own benefit.

When I think about it, I start to hesitate at my decision to use her as a tool for my revenge.

With Yozora leading the way, we arrive at the Shizuhama aquarium.

As I buy the tickets and enter the aquarium, I realized something.

Inside Shizuhama aquarium, there are quite some number of restaurants and small attractions. Shizuhama aquarium is actually quite big.

On top of that, there seems to be a lot of couples here.

Perhaps because of it, my heart beats even faster.

“Let’s go!”

While saying so, Yozora puts her hands together in a cute gesture. She seems truly excited.

“There’s still time before the penguin attraction opens, so let’s go around the aquarium first.”

“Yeah!”

We walk around the aquarium while having smalls talks about the fish we see. First, we go to the tropical fish aquarium, it is not a very big aquarium, but there are a lot of cute tropical fish there. Next, we go to the larger aquariums which is the deep-sea fish aquarium. Finally, we walk through a passage like tunnel with transparent glass above us. It is really amazing, we can see huge fish such as sharks and killer whales swimming above us.

After we go through the tunnel, I check the time and notice that it’s time for the penguin attraction to open.

I tell Yozora about it and immediately head to the penguin attraction with her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“We really can feed the penguins…”

“Yeah, I know! This is really exciting, isn’t it!?”

We can buy fish to feed the penguins for 300yen per bucket which has 3 fish in each of them. Me and Yozora decided to buy one bucket and split the cost between us.

Yozora and I each take a fish and throw it to the penguins.

With a cute little bite, the penguins eat the fish we threw.

“So cute…♡”

Yozora exclaimed so.

Then at the same time, me and Yozora try to take another fish inside the bucket. Our hands accidentally touched each other’s.

“Ah!”

We both pull our hands back at the same time.

Why…why is my heart throbbing this hard?

“Go ahead…”

I said so in a small voice.

“No, no, no, please go ahead…”

Yozora also said so in a small voice.

Yozora’s face is blushing in red.

She seems embarrassed.

In fact, I also feel the same.

“Let’s do it together then.”

“Y-Yeah…”

Yozora and I grab the fish and feed it to the penguin together.

Ah, our hands touched again…

However this time, I don’t feel embarrassed at all. Instead, for some reason, it feels really comforting.

After that, we petted some penguins at the attraction and ate ramen in a restaurant inside the Shizuhama Aquarium. The ramen place is called ‘Jinbei Sea Noodle’. I can say that the ramen there is very creative. There were some fish cakes with jinbei whale shark design on it. Even though it is just a simple ramen, it oddly tastes really delicious.

Since we still have some time, we decided to walk around the aquarium again.

“Hey, hey, look at that cute fish!”

“Umm, it says here that it is a lump fish.”

“Cute…”

The atmosphere here is very calming and soothing, I want to stay here with Yozora forever.

Ah, I’ve fallen in love with Yozora, haven’t I?

At first, my purpose is use Yozora so that I can get my revenge on Shogo and Rei.

It has been my life purpose since I found out about Rei’s affair with Shogo.

But before I realized it, I found myself getting closer and closer to Yozora.

Stop, I shouldn’t do this…even if we start dating, I will only make Yozora unhappy…

I instinctively move closer to Yozora.

“It’s really cute, isn’t it?”

Yozora says so as she turns towards me.

At that moment, I found myself kissing Yozora’s lips.

“Please go out with me…Yozora…”

I did it, I really said it…

Yozora’s face turns bright red.

Suddenly, I feel pain on my cheek, Yozora slapped me.

The couples around us start to laugh at the scene.

Then, Yozora run off, leaving me alone.

I kneel down on the spot.

Ah…what am I doing…

What a big fool I am…

It’s only natural that Yozora would get mad at me if I suddenly kissed her.

As I’m down on my knees, a guy walks up to me.

“She’s a really cute girl, you know? If you don’t do anything now, it will all be over. Hurry up, go and apologize to her!”

That’s right…I can’t let it end here, I don’t want to let it end here.

I stand up, thank the guy, and run towards where Yozora ran off.

She must still be at the station.

In the three weeks I’ve spent with Yozora, I’ve realized something.

I have truly fallen in love with her.

To use her for my revenge…is wrong from the very start…

When I reach the station, I see Yozora sitting on a bench.

“Umm…Yozora…”

“……”

Yozora looks down.

“I…”

“What you did earlier is unacceptable…”

“Y-Yeah.”

“We’re not even dating each other…and on top of that, you are dating Rei-san, Yuto…”

Tears start to flow down Yozora’s cheeks.

“I know this is wrong…but earlier, when you kissed me and asked me to go out with you, I feel really happy…”

Please stop…

“I’m really weird, am I not?”

Please, don’t say anything more…I will fall in love with you even harder…

If I go out with you, I will certainly make you unhappy…

“But—”

“Yozora, I want to be honest with you, I’ve been hiding something from you all this time…there is something I didn’t tell you. The truth is, the reason why I got close to you is for the sake of my revenge… You know my girlfriend, Rei, and my best friend, Shogo, right? One day, I saw something that I shouldn’t have… I saw Rei and Shogo having sex with each other…and from the day I saw them doing it, I was determined to get my revenge no matter what. Because of that reason, I approached and got closer to you so that I can use you to get my revenge on them…I’m such a scum, am I not? In the end, I’m doing the same thing that they did to me…”

Yozora shakes her head.

“But before I knew it, I found myself falling in love with you, Yozora…”

I said it, I really said it…

Today, I realized that I have fallen in love with Yozora. I want to be with her, I don’t want to use her as my tool for my revenge anymore.

I should say my true feelings to her!

“That’s why, please go out with me, Yozora…”

Tears start to flow down Yozora’s cheeks once again.

“That’s not fair…what a lame confession…you wanted to use me for the sake of your revenge, huh? Strange…even though you’ve told me all of this, I can’t stop myself from loving you… That’s why, my answer to your confessions is…yes…please take a good care of me, Yuto.”

Yozora said so with a smile on her face.

I hug Yozora tightly as tears flow down my cheeks.

There are people around watching us, but strangely, I don’t feel embarrassed at all.

After that, I told Yozora all of the details about Rei and Shogo’s affair.

After telling Yozora about it, I feel like as if a heavy burden has been lifted off my chest. I feel relieved.

I guess…it’s because I’ve been keeping it to myself all this time…

“Then, what about your revenge?”

“I don’t care about my revenge anymore…I don’t want to use you for the sake of my revenge anymore, Yozora.”

“Hmm, I see…”

“Yeah…”

“But you see, it seems like my boyfriend is in a bit of a situation right now…so that’s why I will let him to use my body however he wants…”

“……”

I’m at a loss for words.

Really, what was I thinking? How could I bring myself to use such a kind hearted girl for the sake of my revenge?

“But Yuto…can you promise me that you won’t become like the two of them?”

“Yeah, of course. I absolutely don’t want you to go through what I went through, Yozora.”

Yozora and I chuckle.

“Well then, let’s go and talk to Rei now…”
