Chapter 39: Studying Together Made a Lot of Things Clear (Boyfriend POV ②)

“I have a girlfriend.”

For starters, I decided to reveal that I have a girlfriend.

As soon as I said it, everyone looked at me with eyes full of interest. Yeah, having a girlfriend early in high school makes you the center of attention, right?

“Eh? What kind of girl?”

“Is she from the same junior high? Or maybe the same class?”

Questions like that kept pouring in nonstop.

Hey, everyone, wait. I can’t answer that quickly, I thought, while feeling happy about getting used to being in the center, but also flustered.

Because lately, I’ve been getting fed up with my girlfriend.

Recently, she’s really changed.

She was from the same junior high, same class, so we were together every day, and we hung out a lot.

We commuted to school together, and often had lunch together.

But since we went to different high schools, our days started to drift apart, and we couldn’t find much time to hang out.

Well, if we wanted to make time, we could, and I thought the different schools didn’t matter to our relationship.

However, she started saying things like,

“Let’s go home together today, what time do you finish?” “Let’s go somewhere today.”

“Let’s call every night?”

A lot.

At first, I thought, oh, she likes me that much, and I was a bit happy. We’re doing good, right?

But lately, even if I have plans with friends, she tries to butt in, and if I can’t contact her for a bit, she makes a fuss.

Honestly, it’s exhausting. I can’t focus only on her, and I want to build relationships in high school too. Not cheating or anything.

It’s really annoying, so I’m thinking of breaking up.

Before I knew it, everyone was looking at me with slightly withdrawn eyes.

Huh? What?

I didn’t understand why everyone was looking at me like that.

However, the reason became clear with one person’s words.

“You’re not getting along well with your girlfriend, huh.”

Eh? Did I say that out loud?

Apparently, without realizing, I had said something about how she’s been heavy lately and it’s troubling me.

Oh no, suddenly revealing this would just make them pull away. I messed up.

Everyone was saying harmless things like “That happens” “You drift apart when separated,” but I could tell they were actually pulling away.

Worst.

In the midst of that, there was one guy looking at me not with withdrawn eyes, nor sympathetic, but with eyes I’d never seen before.

Eh? What?

I thought that for a moment, then he said,

“Heh, your girlfriend really likes you, huh.”

Ha? What made you say that from the story just now. Are you seriously mocking me?

Thinking that, I looked at the face of the speaker, and he didn’t seem like that at all; rather, he had an ecstatic expression.

What the heck is this guy? While questions floated in my mind, he continued.

“She’s probably anxious. Since you just separated. If you tell her you like her a lot too, she might feel at ease, right?”

Ha? Suddenly getting advice.

What the hell, this guy. No way I’d say that.

Chapter 40: Yesterday’s Study Session Was Great

Yesterday’s study session was really great.

At first, the study session was quiet like a funeral, but as it progressed, we gradually got closer to each other.

In the end, it turned into like a snack party, it was pretty fun, and I could study while talking to kids I don’t usually talk to.

However, for me, there was another big achievement.

That is, I got to talk to the guy who has a girlfriend with potential yandere talent!

He jumped on the love talk, and started saying negative points about his girlfriend.

Heavy, annoying, etc.

Indeed, from listening, for him, her actions might seem bothersome, and his feelings for her might be fading.

However, the negative points he has about her are positive points that should be nurtured for me!

He seems to see her strengths as weaknesses, saying she’s heavy, thinking of breaking up.

But that heaviness is a sign of her love, her desire to devote to him, her desire for him to fill her…

I thought it might be none of my business, but I couldn’t help but speak for her feelings.

She’s in love with you. That’s why she says that. You should whisper love to her too!

When I gave my opinion, he made a really displeased face. Probably thought I was annoying.

Well, maybe. Frankly, I’m too much of an outsider to butt into their relationship. However, I couldn’t let a girl with yandere flavor get sad. So, I had to speak for her feelings even if he hates me.

For yandere, I’m okay being hated by the world, or something.

But, it’s not like I think he should force himself to stay with her because I advised.

There are matches and mismatches, right?

Pushing yandere liking is not good. It won’t lead to good results for him or her.

Just, if a hurt girl is yandere-like, I won’t leave her alone, that’s all.

If they break up because of that, it means no fate. There’ll be someone more suitable for her.

Of course, for him too.

The next day, the study session was held again.

Perhaps hearing rumors that yesterday was fun, or everyone inviting friends, the number increased a bit.

Among them was Shirosaki (the exclusive type girlfriend).

Oh! I might get a chance to talk to her after a long time. Her reputation is soaring, since her talent bloomed, I don’t hear bad rumors about her.

How is she using her yandere talent now, how’s her relationship with him. Hmm, curious.

I was inflating my chest with expectations for today’s study session. Today, I want to talk to Shirosaki anyway ♪

Thinking that, suddenly,

“Sorry about yesterday.”

Someone said softly.

Hm? Who? Thinking that, I looked next, it was the guy with the yandere flavor girlfriend from yesterday.

Eh? Yesterday? That, the advice?

Maybe it went well?

I wanted to hear details, but he told me that and went back to his seat.

Well, can’t be helped. I’m not close to him anyway, and from yesterday’s attitude, he probably doesn’t have a good impression of me.

Did she bloom her talent, or did he notice the charm of yandere, it’s not clear.

However, well, either way is fine. As long as neither she nor he got hurt, it’s all good for me!

On to the next!
