Insensitive Bocchi-kun ~Reluctantly Heading to School Today~ [Dropped] - Chapter 70: Endless Calls

Chapter 70: Endless Calls

Sigh… Today’s pancakes were really delicious.

But how can I go there alone next time…?

As far as I looked around, there were no guys coming alone as customers.

Sigh… I wonder if they offer takeout options.

While thinking about that, I relax after taking a bath and watching a drama.

By the way, wasn’t this actor supposed to come as a guest next time…? I’m looking forward to it.

Wait, huh?

My smartphone on the desk is vibrating… 

An incoming call.

It’s from Linlin, displayed on the screen.

What’s going on…?

“Yes, this is Mamiya.”

“Kento, you did it, huh.”

“Huh?”

What…? 

And why’s she saying that all of a sudden?

“What ‘huh’? You’re having fun with a girl and pancakes while you’re suspended from work, huh?”

Pancakes…?

Wait, h-how does she know?

“Although it didn’t leak to this side, but really, Kento, what’s up with you? Do you not want to return to work? Do you not want to work with me?”

…Huh?

I have no idea what she’s talking about.

And why does she know so much?

“And moreover, who’s that girl? I’ve never seen her before. And you were all close while eating, and we’ve never done that. Who is she? Could she be your girlfriend? Is that it? Come on, say something, Kento!”

…Huh?

What is she saying?

And how does she know all of this?

I made sure to check if anyone knew the whole story.

But if she knows, d-does that mean…?

No way…

Seriously…?

“Kento! Why are you silent?”

“N-No, she’s just a classmate. There’s no way we’re in any kind of relationship. W-What are you talking about, Linlin?”

There’s absolutely no way we’re in any kind of relationship…

“So, you let just a classmate feed you with ‘aah’?”

W-Well, that’s…

Wait, what was that situation…

Now that I think about it calmly, it was definitely not normal.

Really, it wasn’t normal at all…

“Kento! Stop staying silent! Answer me!”

“N-No… We just went there to eat pancakes, that’s all.”

That’s the truth, so there’s nothing more to say…

A-Also, why is she so angry…?

“Ha! Ken…Beep, beep, beep.”

Sorry…

I don’t know what’s going on, but it doesn’t seem like it’s going to end, and her voice is scaring me, so I’ll hang up.

Well… She’ll probably call again.

But I don’t get it… Seriously, how does she know?

I thought for sure no one saw us.

Well, it doesn’t really matter to Linlin, but…

This can’t be true…

Oh… She’s calling again.

Right, it’s Linlin, right…?

Huh… Not Linlin…?

Shibuya-san?

Why?

“Y-yes. This is Mamiya.”

Reflexively, I answer the next call as well.

“Kento Mamiya! W-What’s your relationship with Yamamoto-san?”

Huh?

“What… do you mean?”

Seriously, what’s going on…

“What do I mean? You went out to eat pancakes with that woman! Y-Yamamoto-san, right?”

…Huh?

Why does Shibuya-san know about this?

She definitely wasn’t there.

Huh?

“A-And that ‘aah,’ what was that, are you two dating? Say something, Kento Mamiya!”

…Huh, even Shibuya-san…

Why…?

“No, there’s no way we’re dating. I’m me, after all.”

Seriously…

I was asked the same question just now, and I gave the same answer, but seriously, what is going on here?

“B-but… Even though it’s blurred, there’s no mistaking it’s Yamamoto-san, right?”

…Huh?

Blurred?

What does that mean?

“Tell me! Why is Yamamoto-san… ‘beep, beep, beep’…”

W-What’s going on?

Why do Linlin and Shibuya-san…

What on earth is happening?

Seriously…?
