Translated by Raze

“Well, NICE! I’m so happy for you…Shoo! What are you doing, Ren?!”

 

 

 “Shut up, Let me hit you one more time.”

 

During lunchtime 2 days later.

 

 I was in the courtyard with Kyoya and Susami.

 

 And the topic we were talking about was, obviously, about what happened.

 

“Isn’t that right~? It all worked out well!” (Kyoya)

 

“It went well. But something is annoying me.” (Kusuba)

 

“Uwaa!” No violence!” (Kyoya)

 

I chased after Kyoya as he ran, but I’m more of an indoor person.

 

 I ran out of energy not long after and gave up on the chase.

 

These are one of the moments I almost regret my lifestyle…

 

“But I’m really glad. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting it.” (Kyoya)

 

“Yeah, me too, actually.” (Susami)

 

“Oi…” (Kusuba)

 

Susami had a wry smile on her face and Kyoya had a straight face.

 

 Both of them were partially grateful, but also partially resentful.

 

“I don’t know why I am so nervous when I know you two love each other so much.” (Susami)

 

“W-well, it’s not that obvious, right? Eh….no…?” (Kusuba)

 

 

 “No, it was pretty obvious, you know? As long as Ren didn’t screw it up, I knew it would work out.” (Kyoya)

 

“You’re lying…but then why did you say you didn’t expect it?” (Kusuba)

 

 

 “Because you could’ve screwed it up.” (Kyoya)

 

“Ugh…”

 

 

 “Also there was a good possibility that you weren’t going to do anything”

 

“Ughh…”

 

I couldn’t say anything to that.

 

As expected of the two, they knew exactly what they were dealing with.

 

“Ah well, with that in mind, let’s leave it at that. From now on, you and Tachibana-san should be together for a long time~”

 

“Stop it, and don’t cling to me. It’s too hot.”

 

In the first place, why is this guy more excited than me, the person involved…?

 

Susami was also pleased when I told her about it.

 

 Well, maybe that’s just how much he cares for me.

 

I suppose I should be thankful for it.

 

“Kusuba-kun.”

 

 

 “W-what’s it…?”

 

 

 “Being friends and dating are 2 completely separate things. I don’t care if you get dumped because your bad qualities get exposed, but if you hurt Rika, I’ll be there. Okay?”

 

“Y-yes…”

 

 

 “Take care of yourself.”

 

 

 Susami concluded her message with an extreme intensity which I had never seen before.

 

I really shouldn’t get on her bad side. Like no, seriously.

 

 “That’s right Ren. But it’s going to be difficult for you, so if you ever need help, you can count on me, alright?”

 

 

 “…Understood. I’m going to count on you, really.”

 

 

 “Yes yes. You’re really honest.”

 

Kyoya seemed satisfied.

 

Well, I’m sure those two are right.

 

 I’m not sure if I’ll be able to maintain a relationship with a girlfriend when I don’t even have friends. I seriously doubt it…

 

“But, you know, Ren. Now that you too are a couple, there are many good things to come, no?”

 

“…Good things?”

 

“Isn’t it obvious? With the cute Tachibana, you can do this…or maybe that….”

 

Kyoya’s words brought a series of unexpected scenarios in my head.

 

 I desperately shook my head trying to get rid of the fantasies.

 

“Nooo! Stop! Delusions are dangerous! Fantasies are evil!”

 

“Oh my, now that you have a girlfriend, you are going to think about these things too.” 

(Susami)

 

“Yes yes, that’s what Satsuki and I are about.”

 

 

 “I don’t want to hear  it.”

 

 God…These normies are way ahead of me…

 

“Ren”

 

 

 “…what’s it?”

 

 

 “Really, I’m happy for you.”

 

 

 “…Ah. Thanks.”
