Lonely Me And The Lonely Caring Goddess - Chapter 123 - A Life Without Sara-san
I Reincarnated As A Trash Prince
Chapter 123 – A Life Without Sara-san
It’s been three days since Sara-san did not go here.
I– When did I become so weak?
Only the phone calls during the night keep me going. I can’t help but feel lonely. Why do I feel so pitiful and helpless?
Why… did this happen in the first place?
——————————————
“Five days from now, I’ll be visiting Father’s place.”
Late at night, after dinner, I received a call from Sara-san, who went home after cleaning up.
Sara-san’s Father, who’s as busy as always, had taken a summer vacation. Thus, they’ve decided to go to their grandparent’s house.
Since it was to visit her Father’s parents’ graves, refusing was not an option.
“I’m really, really sorry…”
Over the phone, I can feel Sara-san’s apologetic voice.
It’s easy to reply by saying, “It’s alright,” with empty emotions.
But it would be wrong of me to say that knowing how I was so indebted to Sara-san.
So even if I look pathetic, I said this to her.
“I got it. Although I will feel lonely here, I will do my best to be praised by Sara-san when you get back.”
And that’s about it.
“Kazunari-san… Okay. I will call you every day so you won’t feel lonely. And when I get back, I will praise you and spoil you like the good boy you are!”
It’s a happy thing that Sara-san was impressed, but to treat me like a ‘good boy’ would be…
After all, Sara-san treats me like a child sometimes.
——————————————
I woke up late in the morning… what time is it?
As expected, there was no breakfast.
I ate bread, and that’s all I had for breakfast.
I should do my homework… I don’t feel like doing it.
Cleaning… Laundry… There’s still no need to do it.
What should I do?
Huh…? What was my life like before?
Ah! That’s right! I need to think about what to have for lunch and dinner!
I just ate breakfast, and I am already thinking about food?
I was astonished.
What… is this? Is this how I lived before I met Sara-san?
I lived a tough life back then since I was living alone.
Starting today, I will be alone.
Just from the first day, I realized how much I depend on Sara-san.
Isn’t it natural for her to treat me like a child, then?
I’m starting to hate myself…
——————————————
“Hahaha, I see. Certainly, you’ve depended too much on Satsukawa-senpai!”
Since I was bored and had nothing to do, I called Hayato, and he came to my place.
It’s the first time a male friend has arrived at my place. Yuji didn’t have the opportunity, so Hayato was the first one.
“I got aware of it on the first day she left me.”
“If anything, Satsukawa-senpai is spoiling Kazunari too much. And since Kazunari wants to be spoiled, you two are a perfect match!”
As I thought, it’s how everyone sees us.
“But I still can’t believe Kazunari told me not to approach Satsukawa-senpai. Remember the first time we met? You told me not to talk to her because it would bring trouble.”
Ah! That time! I only said that since Sara-san disliked Hayato at that moment.
I can’t tell him that, though.
“We know that Satsukawa-senpai is so popular at school and her behavior when interacting with Kazunari takes a 180-degree flip. Once the second semester starts and everyone knows you are dating Satsukawa-senpai-san, it will surely cause an uproar.”
That’s highly likely to happen.
And since Sara-san doesn’t mind other people, she would surely do things her way. And that story will spread around the school.
“But if that happened, won’t the number of people making advances on Satsukawa-senpai decrease? The guys who attempt to confess to her will also disappear.”
Huh…? Confessions…?
I don’t know whether Hayato was surprised by my dumbfounded expression, but he looked shocked.
“You haven’t noticed…? Don’t tell me… you’re unaware of how popular Satsukawa-senpai is? Recently, her attitude became softer, making her more approachable, and some guys took advantage of it to confess to her. Though I understand as to why she became mellow.”
That probably… has something to do with me.
But there’s a high chance that all of what Hayato said happened. In other words, Sara-san was mindful of it, especially around me.
(Well, I just noticed one recently, so there’s undoubtedly an increase.)

[Hayato’s POV] (TN: Added this for clarity)
“Satsukawa-san, can I talk with you? I have something I wanted to say to you.”
“I don’t have any that I want to say to you, though?”
“Satsukawa-san, I’m sorry for interrupting, but… can I have some of your time?”
I just saw a frightful scene.
That’s Yamakawa-senpai from the soccer club… I forgot his first name, but he’s pretty popular.
“In any case, follow me for a moment.”
“Hey, I was talking first. You can talk to Satsukawa-senpai later.”
Didn’t they realize Satsukawa-senpai was in front of them?
But it’s refreshing to see how ignorant they are…
“H-hey, I said wait for a second!”
“Satsukawa-san, please talk to–…”
“I don’t need you, so you two should have a friendly chat instead of me.”
“Just for a moment…”
“Can’t you understand that you’re annoying me? I don’t want to speak to the both of you!”
“…”
“…”
It’s funny to look at how they were crushed before they got to the main point.
We~ll, it was their fault since they didn’t get Satsukawa-senpai’s first refusal.
“Ara, hello Yokogawa-san.”
She seemed to have noticed me.
So I also greeted her.
“Hello, Satsukawa-senpai. Are you heading to the student council?”
“Yes. I am going to eat lunch with Takanashi-san. If you’ll excuse me.”
And she left with that dazzling smile. Because of that, the number of guys who have mistaken themselves to have a chance increased once again.
And the two guys over there, please stop staring at me.
I’m not different from you guys.

“Well, you should know your lover’s popularity at school. You must.”
“I guess so. I should have a wider view on such things.”
I should stop other guys from making advances toward Sara-san, huh?
