The Boy Who Gave Up on Romantic Feelings ~I’m Done Because I Was Betrayed by The Girlfriends I Used to Date~ - Chapter 57-58

Chapter 57

“Hnghh…”

I’ve made up my mind. Whether this person scares me right now doesn’t matter. I’ll kill her right here and now. There’s no room for hesitation.

I can no longer feel the trauma, the pain, the fear, all I can feel right now is hatred towards her.

“I’m…I’m Shintani-kun’s girlfriend…yeah, that’s right…there is no way that girl can be Shintani-kun’s girlfriend…nooo!!!”

“!?”

With that scream, Yamashiro pulls out a knife from her pocket and charges towards me, thrusting it forward.

Caught off guard, I reacted a split second too late.

I can feel the knife stabbed in my abdomen.

“Ugh…!”

“Hehe…hehehehe…n-now, with this, Shintani-kun is mine—”

“T-This is…self-defence…aaaahhhhhh!!!”

“Huh?”

In an instant, I punch Yamashiro’s stomach.

“Ughhh…!”

The next moment, I punch her face, sending her flying backwards.

“Y-You should never hit a woman’s face…”

“I told you, it’s self-defence. There should be…ughh…no problem with that at all, right? If I don’t defend myself…I’ll die…”

Nevertheless, having the knife still stabbed in my abdomen feels really painful.

I have to pull out the knife.

“Guh!!”

As I forcefully pull the knife out, intense pain run through my abdomen.

However, for some reason, I managed to endure it.

Looking down, I can see my clothes around the abdomen are soaked with blood. This is bad.

“I…I got hit by my boyfriend…unbelievable…this can’t be true…”

“……”

“Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable—”

“I’ve had enough…I’ve had enough of your nonsense!”

I calm myself down and realize that it would be unwise to kill her. If I were to kill her here, it would cause trouble for Sayaka, and above all, we won’t be able to live together anymore.

In the end, what is the right choice? Should I have accepted her confession back then? No, that is definitely not the right choice. I can never date someone like her. A person who just cares about herself, I have no interest in someone like that at all.

“No, this can’t be happening, this must be a lie. Yeah, that’s right, it’s all a lie. Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies—”

I hope she stays crazy like that for the rest of her life.

Honestly, I’m on the verge of collapsing.

My abdomen hurts like hell.

Oh no, my vision is starting to blur…

“Shintani-kun!!!”

“Hmm!?”

Suddenly, from behind Yamashiro, I hear the voice I want to hear the most.

The moment Yamashiro hears Sayaka’s voice,

“Aaaaahhhh! You damn bitch!!”

She turns around and run towards Sayaka.

I try to muster up my last bit of strength.

“Stop! Police!”

Several police officers emerge from behind Sayaka.

In an instant, they managed to hold back and arrest Yamashiro who was charging towards Sayaka.

“Let go!! I’m going to kill that damn woman!!”

At 6:23 PM, Haruka Yamashiro is arrested for attempted murder and trespassing.

“Let go!! Hey!! Shintani-kun!! Help me!!”

“……”

In a haze of consciousness, I point my thumb down towards Yamashiro who is calling for help.

Then, I lost consciousness while being held by Sayaka.

Chapter 58

Haruka Yamashiro’s POV

I have always been blessed. However, I never realized it. That’s because, during grade school, I suffered from an inferiority complex.

Why am I more gloomy than others? Why don’t boys look at me even though I’m this cute? Why can’t I have the make up that other girls my age have? Why do they look at me as if they’re looking down on me?

Carrying the emotions from grade school, as I was about to enter middle school, I decided to change. I no longer want to be my gloomy self. With that in mind, I did various things to improve myself.

And what do you think happened? The way people looked at me changed completely.

Having always been aware of my own cuteness, I was intoxicated by this sense of superiority. At the same time, I felt that it was natural to look down on those people who had looked down on me until then, to be honest, I was enjoying it.

Boys looked at me with lustful eyes. Girls looked at me with eyes filled with jealousy. I became addicted to that feeling.

However, there were also people who didn’t seem to care about me.

I thought to myself. If I could become the cutest girl at my school, surely even those people would take a glance at me.

Therefore, I formed a group and spread my influence. Furthermore, since I aimed to be the cutest girl in school, I thought that I needed at least one boyfriend.

“…I can easily have a boyfriend, right? I’m really cute after all.”

I thought so to myself.

If I were to have a boyfriend, he would have to be someone equal to me.

With that in mind, I decided to make someone popular among the girls my boyfriend.

“…how about Shintani Maeshima?”

I’ve heard rumours about him. Apparently, he is a guy who’s only interested in club activities.

Even if someone try to confess to him, they would definitely be rejected along with the reason, ‘I want to focus on my club activities’. That’s just how dedicated he is to his club activities.

One of my friends even asked him once,

‘Are you planing to get a girlfriend or something?’

‘No, I’m not interested in that kind of thing.’

With a straight face, he just simply answered so.

However, I’m cutest girl in school, so of course he would be interested in going out with me, right?

“…okay, I got this.”

I felt confident.

I thought it would be easy.

“I’m sorry.”

“—eh?”

I was naïve.

I got rejected. For the first time in my life, my precious first confession, the boy in front of my turned me down.

What is he talking about? Why did he turn me down?

“There’s no way…that’s right…there’s no way I’d be rejected…right? There is no way this is happening, right…? Shintani-kun?”

He stayed silent and didn’t say anything at all.

At that moment, something inside me snapped.

“That’s right…there’s no way my confession would be rejected…I have Shintani-kun now…that’s right, hehehe, I did it…I have a boyfriend now…”

That’s right, there’s no way I’d get rejected. I’m sure he must be joking. He’s just making fun of me.

From around that time…no, actually, from quite some time ago. It appears that somewhere along the line, I had lost several screws in my head.

Failure is not an option for me…

There is no going back anymore.
