Lonely Me And The Lonely Caring Goddess - Chapter 126 -  This is the worst

Chapter 126 –  This is the worst.

Why here? Out of all the places? 

“What’s with that look? Isn’t it a while since you met your cute childhood friend?”

Her thick make-up was the same as always.

Overall, as compared to junior high, there was a difference… Is this what they call “white gal”? (TN: 白ギャ, white gal. There is a notion that gals were dark-skinned before, but nowadays, girls retain their original color without getting tanned. Hence, white gal.)

But the same as before, she can’t speak like a gal.

Though it doesn’t change the fact that she was annoyed base on her tone of voice…

“Hm? What’s wrong? Ah! Did you get nervous about how Yuzuha-chan is getting cuter?”

Yuzuha said upon seeing that I was not responding to her question.

It’s a waste of time dealing with this gal. She’ll just interpret anything convenient for her.

“You are… an acquaintance of Kazunari? A childhood friend?”

Sensing the delicate atmosphere, Hayato intervened, pretending not to know.

“Oh! What a coincidence that Hayato-kun was a friend of Kazunari. I am Yuzuha Sasagawa. Kazunari isn’t causing any trouble for you, right? This guy has always been causing…”

Will she start making up stories once again?

Though I’m disgusted by hearing how she speaks. I’m even more disgusted since I know her background.

“What are you implying, Yuzuha?”

“Hmm? Yay! You finally talked! It’s for politeness’ sake. What are you irritated about?”

This gal really… She’s cheerfully enjoying my reactions.

“Hey, Hayato-kun. Since you’re friends with my childhood friend Kazunari-san, we’ll become friends. I also have many friends, so that we can do lots of fun things together.”

She’s as bold as ever. Doesn’t she know her limits?

She flirtingly said as she snuggled up to Hayato. My eyes signaled Hayato, appealing to refuse it.

Please let my signal go through.

However, Hayato showed a reaction as if he understood something.

“Ah, I understand. Then why don’t we get each other’s LINE account?”

Hayato bought Yuzuha’s story?

Did it not go through? Was it fruitless after all?

“Yay! I did it! Let’s go to a mixer next time!”

“H-Hey, Hayato-.”

“Please wait a minute, Kazunari.”

I tried to stop it, but in the end, they exchanged contacts.

That gal must be up to no good, and at this rate, Hayato might end up being used up like me.

Controlling my emotions, I called out to Yuzuha with the intent of confronting what her schemes were.

“Yuzuha, let’s talk for a bit. This talk will be quick, Hayato, so please wait a moment.”

“Alright.”

“Okay, fine. But confessing is a no-no~.”

Ugh! That’s the last thing I’ll do.

I took Yuzuha a little farther and decided to confront her.

Like that time in junior high school days…

“What do you want?”

Although I was annoyed by Yuzuha, whose face was grinning, I decided to ask her calmly.

“I just wanted to be friends with Hayato-kun. Won’t you help me?”

The cat’s out of the bag now. She stopped pretending to be a gal and returned to her usual way of speaking.

She already knew my answer, yet decided to ask that.

“Did you think I would agree to that?”

“So you won’t agree on it, huh? I feel bad for what happened in junior high school.”

Ha…?

Did I hear that correctly? Did she apologize?

“I said I feel bad. You don’t have to look surprised.”

Her words surprised me, and I was at a loss for what to do. What does she want now?

“I wanted to get along with Hayato-kun. I’m not asking for your cooperation. We need to keep our mouths silent. That’s all. That is okay, right?”

Junior high school memories rushed back.

It’s starting again. Thinking about it was like hell incarnated. 

“Are you really… sorry?”

“Yes. So please don’t get in my way. Besides, Hayato-kun wanted to be friends with me first, so you don’t have any say in that, right?”

As expected, this gal didn’t mature at all.

Since she was spoiled all her life, she had an attitude where Yuzuha thought she was always the heroine.

She thought, “I apologized, so you should forgive me and get it over with.”

Did Yuzuha ever feel a sense of guilt? And did she think I would be satisfied if she said that?

As if the conversation was over, Yuzuha started walking away alone.

What a self-centered person she indeed was.

As for Hayato… I think it’s okay if they want to get along. But I should be vigilant about it.

As I looked at Hayato, I saw him talking to Yuzuha’s acquaintance.

Seeing that he was not smiling, he was probably irritated.

For now, we should leave before anything more happen.

That’s for the best.

“Hayato, I am going home now since I have something to do. You also have someone to meet, right?”

I lied to Hayato and somewhat coerced him.

“Hm? Ah, yeah. I don’t want to be late. Sorry about this, Sasagawa-san.”

He understood my intentions and decided to play along with me.

We can safely leave now.

“Eeeh? That’s a shame, especially when I started getting closer to you. Ah! We have each other’s LINE so that I can contact you anytime. You can also contact me whenever you have the time.”

Yuzuha started speaking weirdly once more.

“Then, goodbye.”

“Yes! Let’s meet again. It was good seeing you again, Kazunari.”

What do you mean by “good” in seeing you?

I have not responded to her words.

——————————————

Aww… There they go.

But what a lucky encounter.

Kufufu… Hayato-kun’s contact info get! 

Kazunari is a softy. I never said I was serious about apologizing.

But with this, Kazunari won’t talk.

I went out of my way to fake my apology, so it’s expected for him to be obedient.

It’s alright. I’ll tell Hayato a story before something happens.

After all, Kazunari is a threat.

Men are all fools. If you cry and pretend you are hurt, they’ll easily believe you.

“Nee~, Yuzuha. Do you know Hayato’s companion?”

“Don’t call him an acquaintance, Miho. He’s the pipe connecting us with Hayato-kun, so I have to call him ‘friend’.”

I won’t let this chance pass.

I want to be with something other than Hayato-kun.

I also have Kazuma-kun as a boyfriend. Even if Hayato-kun is my boyfriend, I will be nothing more than a fan of an idol.

It didn’t matter how many handsome guys were around. If I can set up a mixer with Hayato-kun and if it goes well, I can be connected with other models. Moreover…

If that happened, I would be the most popular girl in the school.

Undoubtedly, everyone will praise me and beg me to let them participate. I want that sense of superiority.

Now, how do I proceed…

Oh, I know! I should ask Kazuma-kun.

If I remember correctly, Kazuma-kun said he had an acquaintance that knew Hayato-kun.

Ah!

I should spread the story about Kazunari first.

If I did, Hayato-kun would believe me and might even help me!

Ooh! I’m soo looking forward to it!
