Chapter 48 – Mizukami Noa’s Feelings Burst

After school on Tuesday, September 3rd.

I found Kaede rambling on Ibuse-kun. From what I heard, it seemed like they were arguing about Kinoshita-san. It wouldn’t be good if they continued to fight like this. I’ll have to separate them quickly.

So I dragged Kaede out of school. Kaede stayed silent for a while, and I couldn’t tell what he was thinking. He has a bad habit of staying silent when he’s sulky.

“Both of us are going to be late today. Do it quick.”

“……If you say so.”

Men are simple. This easily puts him in a good mood. My period is coming up soon, so if we don’t do it now, he’ll start complaining again, so this is perfect.

“Maybe we really do have good chemistry.”

“Ah…yeah, maybe. It felt really good.”

After we were done, Kaede was in a much better mood, so I lied to him without thinking. He’s definitely gotten better than he was, but it still hurts a bit. My friend said, “It depends on Noa’s constitution, but it’s not unusual,” so there’s nothing I can do about it.

…But that’s not what’s important now. If I wanted to get the story from Kaede, this was the perfect time while he was in a good mood. As I got dressed, I decided to ask Kaede about what had been bothering me.

“Hey Kaede, why do you see Ibuse-kun as an enemy?”

“…I don;t.”

That’s clearly a lie. Around the time of summer holiday, Kaede had been talking about Ibuse-kun all the time. Stuff like, “Don’t get involved with him” and “Just stay by my side.” Even though he said all that, he was talking cheerfully with the girls in class.

Even I was a little scared of Ibuse-kun. When I saw him around April, he had a look in his eyes that made me think he had killed a person. He didn’t come to school for a while after that, but then suddenly showed up at the beginning of June, and continued to come without missing a day. As the days went by, his eyes softened and he seemed like a completely different person.

“…Then why did you warn Kinoshita-san not to get involved with Ibuse-kun?”

“Well… It’s Ibuse we’re talking about. There must be something shady behind it.”

“There might be, but you don’t have anything to do with it, Kaede.”

“Well… Kinoshita-san is our classmate, isn’t she? I mean, I don’t want to see someone close to me go through something bad…”

His words alone might seem like kindness. Kaede has always been kind to girls. When we first met, he helped me when I was being bullied for being overweight.

But around middle school, I realized that Kaede’s kindness was distorted.

Kaede was certainly kind. But he never tried to do anything more than that. No matter how many times I hinted at my feelings for him, he didn’t notice and just kept making more female friends. I was honestly fed up with all the girls asking me if Kaede had a girlfriend.

When Kaede entered high school, his distortions only increased. He started to choose friends based on appearance. He acted as if it weren’t true, but he was surrounded by only cute girls. The student council president was one of them, and there was Sakura’s friend. And now Kinoshita-san too. He didn’t care about her at all before summer holiday, but as soon as he found out she was cute, he started to be kind to her.

But he was adamant about not getting a girlfriend. I was curious and asked him why, but he got away with it with a plausible excuse like, “It’s not like we become friends because of that kind of feeling.”

That’s why I was so happy when Kaede confessed to me. Even though he confessed through a chat message, I was still happy. I was happy that he chose me, so I said yes before he changed his mind.

It’s not that I’m not completely dissatisfied with our relationship now. We’re still students, so I’m fine with splitting the hotel bill. I want him to get a part-time job if there’s a chance, but we have fun the most when we’re together, so I didn’t mind. I also didn’t mind it too much when he talked with other girls because I thought it was inevitable…

But……!

“…Kaede, is it selfish to want you to only look at me?”

“I’m looking. Look, we’re dating now…”

“So, is there a reason to worry about Kinoshita-san?”

“That’s because…”

“Ibuse-kun again? Eh, what? Does it have nothing to do with this? Did Ibusu-kun do something to you?”

“He didn’t…”

“So, you want to be surrounded by cute girls? Are you jealous of Ibuse-kun? If so, why did you confess to me? You said you liked me. But now you’re still reaching out to other girls? Why?”

“…What… Are you siding with Ibuse too? Are you saying that a delinquent looks attractive once they’re reformed? Everyone’s swayed by such things! There must be something shady behind him!”

“I don’t know! If you didn’t like how Kinoshita-san was taken away, you should have confessed to her! Not to me!”

“…That’s…”

“Are you saying you were keeping me as a backup? Because it would be troublesome if you couldn’t hang out with other girls if you dated Kinoshita-san? So you thought I was a cheap girl who’d allow you to get along with other girls because you were always by my side? I can’t believe it!!”

“No…I really like you…”

“…I don’t want to hear it anymore!! Get away!”

In my rage, I threw Kaede out of the room. I waited by the door, hoping he’d say something, but all I heard were his footsteps fading away. Hearing that, I couldn’t stop crying in front of the door.

I hadn’t meant to get this angry. I had never fought with Kaede before, so I didn’t know how to be angry, and my tone became rough. All I wanted was for him to apologize, just a simple “Sorry” would’ve been enough. Even if he didn’t mean it. I wanted to hear those words, but all Kaede could come up with were cheap lies.

It’s frustrating. We’ve been together for so long, and we are supposed to be lovers now, but it’s frustrating that he thought I would accept his lies.

Where did we go wrong?

Should I have never accepted his confession that day? Should I have talked to Kaede more?

I don’t know.

I’m sure I liked the kind Kaede back then, but…

“……Sniff…I just… I just don’t understand anymore…”
