When My Girlfriend Cheated On Me And Spread Rumors That I Was A Guy Who Would Sleep With Anyone, I Decided To Just Accept It And Ended Up Dating The Most Slutty Girl In School. - Chapter 13: You Are A Mad Man.

You Are A Mad Man.

“…Naoki-kun is dating Hanabusa-san…?”

She was stunned by her friend’s report.

(That’s impossible!)

That was the gist of Chiharu’s reaction.

Naoki had always been devoted to Chiharu. Even while they were dating, he never flirted with other women—aside from anime characters, of course.

Well, given that Chiharu is one of the most beautiful girls in school, it was only natural.

In any case, Naoki was infatuated with Chiharu.

He gave off an aura that he would eventually marry her, with no real basis for it, but that’s how much he was into her.Kirara

Moreover, while Naoki showed a manly side when it came to Chiharu, he had a delicate and insecure side when it came to himself.

Given that, Chiharu thought Naoki would be deeply depressed and uninterested in finding a new girlfriend after being dumped like this.

Besides, there was no real connection between Naoki and Kirara.

The most there was, was that Chiharu sometimes heard Naoki complain about how much he hated Kirara, but even then, he’d always say, “I have the cutest girlfriend in the universe, so I’m not interested in that girl.”

If that were the case, then Kirara would have had to pursue Naoki, which didn’t make sense.

To Chiharu, Naoki was just an ordinary guy. Compared to Takashi, his strengths were his kindness, fun personality, and skill in bed. But those were things only known to Chiharu because they were dating.

Would someone like Kirara, who was rumored to sleep around with handsome guys and engage in compensated dating with rich men, really target Naoki?

No.

Furthermore, not only had they slept together, but they were also said to be dating.

Naoki should be wary of women after being cheated on by Chiharu, and Chiharu had never heard of Kirara dating anyone seriously.

Naoki had no reason to date Kirara, and he lacked the charm to win her over.

It was strange.

Suspicious.

It felt really unsettling.

(…Is it really possible?)

In an instant, Chiharu calculated all of this.

On top of that, the idea of Naoki being with another woman was deeply unpleasant.

They had exchanged their virginity with each other!

From her hair to her toes, everything about her—Naoki’s Naoki—was hers, all of it!

Even though she was the one who cheated, Chiharu felt betrayed.

It was as if her sacred sanctuary, her precious treasure, had been desecrated.

And Naoki! How could he sleep with another woman so soon after being cheated on by me? And with such a vulgar and sleazy woman! How disgusting! You weren’t that kind of lowly man before, were you!? You said you weren’t interested in other women! Was that a lie!? I can’t believe this! And now, if you do something like this, it lowers my value too! This is ridiculous! Her inner turmoil was such that she even felt irrational tears welling up.

(Well, I might as well use this to my advantage.)

Such was the nature of Chiharu.

She decided to play the role of the tragic heroine and earn some sympathy points by crying exaggeratedly.

“Didn’t you know, Shimizu-san?” she said, sobbing in a refined manner while comforting her friend, who looked surprised.

In reality, the “friend” was merely a position; Chiharu didn’t consider her someone she could trust.

As someone who used to be bullied, Chiharu knew well the ugliness of human nature. The only person she could truly rely on was herself, and maybe Naoki, who was just too kind-hearted.

“Wha—really? I didn’t know… that Naoki-kun was with someone else…”

“Is that so? I thought it was Hanabusa-san since you mentioned being cheated on.”

(Oh no.)

The situation was slipping through her fingers, and her anxiety only grew.

(If I think about it, it might have been better to pin the blame on the slutty bitch.)

Chiharu realized she had been so shocked by the fact that Naoki had been with another woman that she hadn’t thought of this sooner.

(Calm down, Chiharu. I need to stay composed.)

She was coming to terms with just how significant Naoki’s presence had been for her.

It was only natural, considering.

Naoki was Chiharu’s first boyfriend, the one she gave her virginity to.

That said, she wasn’t clinging to old feelings.

Still, the surge of emotions was overwhelming.

What mattered now was to not be swayed by these feelings and to control them with reason.

For now, she would stick to the story that Naoki had cheated with some unknown girl.

It was okay that she didn’t know about Hanabusa.

She wasn’t sure of Hanabusa’s intentions, and incorporating her into the lie might risk exposing inconsistencies.

Keeping it simple would make the story about Naoki being a player more credible.

Since Naoki and Chiharu were known as a close couple, some people found it hard to believe that Naoki would cheat.

Chiharu maintained her perfect, demure image, so no one questioned it.

In this way, the incident would reinforce Chiharu’s deception and provide a tailwind for her lies.

(Baka Naoki! If you had just kept quiet, everyone would eventually forget. Getting involved with a slutty woman just makes things worse!)

Perhaps Naoki had knowingly started a relationship with Hanabusa.

He might have been driven by a sense of desperation, willing to become the kind of man who sleeps with anyone, as Chiharu had suggested.

He was that kind of clumsy, awkward man.

(…Seriously, what an idiot.)

A pang of melancholy struck Chiharu’s heart.

She hadn’t come to dislike Naoki.

She had only ended things because she was thinking about the future.

Even now, she could say she loved him more than anyone.

That said, she had no intention of helping him out.

(…Well, it’s his own fault.)

If he chose to sleep with another woman, he deserved whatever consequences came with it.

In fact, she almost wanted him to suffer for it.

(…Of all the women, to end up with someone like her…)

Chiharu had always hated Hanabusa.

Naoki should have known that.

“By the way, Shimizu-san, you should be careful. It seems like Ashimura and Hanabusa have been spreading rumors about you…”

(…Unbelievable!)

A warning alarm blared in Chiharu’s mind.

Something was definitely off.

Naoki was fundamentally kind-hearted, not the type to gossip about others.

(And to spread rumors about me… This isn’t the Naoki I know.)

Something abnormal was clearly happening.

(…I need to investigate this further.)

With a calm judgment, Chiharu decided to show off her skillful fake tears.

“Such cruelty! I haven’t done anything wrong… U, uuh, waaaaah!”
