Chapter 54: CH 54

Kengo Ohashi & Tenshi Izumi.

Kengo Ohashi, freed from his sister’s shackles, was looking up to heaven in an open café.

(God, she’s such a selfish sister… Asking me to leave her alone for a while. She must have been really shocked by Komori’s words and actions.)

He was fed up, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a girl he recognized.

(Hmm…? That’s Tenshi…right? Her shoulders look kind of slumped…. Anyway, I should call out to her. Too many things have been going on lately for us to talk properly.)

“Oi, Tenshi!”

Kengo Ohashi rushed to Tenshi Izumi with his hands raised.

When she saw him,

“Hello Kengo-san.”

She smiled without showing any signs of surprise.

(…Oioi. Isn’t the tension strangely low? If it were just a few days ago, she would have responded, “Ah! Kengo-san♪.” No, wait. Komori and his girlfriend just left my sister and were looking around the outlet mall… Don’t tell me that Tenshi witnessed the scene of Komori and Takamine on a date!? If so, no wonder Tenshi is not in good spirits… No, no, no. What am I thinking? I’m a little too paralyzed to think. If this theory is correct, then the cruel reality is waiting for us! Not only is the encounter with me not worth rejoicing over, but the shock of Komori’s two-timing is too much!? Anyway, I need to get to the bottom of this–)

“–What a coincidence that we met here. I’m kind of glad. Don’t you think so too, Tenshi?”

“Um… Ah, yes. That’s right. I’m…happy.”

(Hiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee!!! Tenshi’s tension is too low! I can feel the aura of annoyance!)

On the other hand, Tenshi Izumi,

(Today, Kengo-san seems… strangely in high spirits… I see. I guess he’s that happy to have Natsukawa-san wear the underwear he likes… He never imagined that I was witnessing him–what’s with that? That really pisses me off.)

After all, the girls were fatally mistaken.

“Ah, yes. Since it’s been a while… How about we go on a date?”

Kengo Ohashi, who up until now had been blowing winds of timidity at crucial points, summoned up all his courage and asked her out on a date.

If there was any reason for his defeat at this time, it was–

—bad timing.

(Huh!? A date with a boy who just a few minutes ago was picking out another girl’s underwear? No, no, I’m fine doing my best! I also don’t want to lose to Natsukawa-san, but right now is…)

“I’m sorry. I’m happy to hear that, but I’m not in the mood right now…”

(Not in the mood!? You’re kidding, righttt!? My guess was right! Tell me this is a joke! Please tell me this isn’t true!)

While the Little Ohashi in his heart was holding up his head,

“Ah, no. Never mind that. Anyway, what are you doing here?”

“What…?”

“If you wanted to go shopping, you should have invited me.”

“That’s…”

Tenshi Izumi looked uncomfortable.

And so she should be.

(Why am I here…? I’m here to help Shota-san to get more solid… But I can’t be honest with him, can I? And Kengo-san doesn’t know that he and I are acquainted. If I told him that, he’d think I’m two-timing him. Even though it’s Kengo-san who is doing that… Ah, no! If I remember, I’ll be angry and tearful again. I think I might be in the mood for a little bite.)

“I wanted to go to a store by myself.”

“A store where you wanted to go to by yourself?”

“Yes. The lingerie store.“

Kengo Ohashi suddenly jumped to his feet and reflected on Tenshi’s sudden words.

When she saw this, her suspicions deepened.

(What’s with that reaction just now…? Isn’t that too obvious?)

“A-Ah, I see, the lingerie store, huh…? Well, I can’t go there, can I?”

“Yes… (You did go with Natsukawa-san, though.)”

(Whoa, that scared me! I never thought I’d hear ‘lingerie store’ coming out of Tenshi’s mouth… The timing was so perfect, it seriously freaked me out! Anyway, this is a bad topic. I need to change the subject… Okay. I don’t want to sound suspicious, but I’m going to get to the bottom of this!)

“By the way… You remember two days ago when you invited me to go home from school together, right?”

“Eh, ah, yes.”

This time, Tenshi Izumi’s body jerked up and down.

(O-Oi… What’s with your obvious upset! No way, no way…. S-Stop it, please…! If you react like that, I’ll get scared and won’t be able to go on!)

(EHH!? Why is he asking me that question here!? Moreover, he asked in a very awkward way while averting his eyes… Could it be that he’s probing me to see if I had witnessed him being held by Natsukawa-san!?)

“I’m sorry. You even took the trouble to invite me. So, what were you doing that first day you asked me out?”

That first day was when Kengo Ohashi was called by his sister and was told, “UWAAAHHH!!! I don’t want to be separated from you. I don’t want you to leave~!!” It was the day Tenshi Izumi cried and sobbed.

“Let’s see… That day, I was having tea at a café.”

“Were you…alone?”

“No. I was with a friend.”

(Damn… This Tenshi. You’re being as careful not to lie as much as possible. It’s true that you went to the cafe. But this is usually the time to lie and say, ‘I went alone,’ or with a female friend. Isn’t it too suspicious that she dared to use the word ‘friend’?)

“Hmm, I see. Well, next time, introduce me to your friend, too.“

(EHH!? In general, when you say’ friend’ in this situation, people think of female friends, right? Does that mean he’s going to make a move on my female friend too!? Isn’t he being a little excessive!?)

“That friend of yours… Of course it’s your female friend, right?”

(Whoa! Don’t tell me I’m the one being suspected? Why!? …But I can’t tell him that I went there with Shota-san… Besides, Kengo-san doesn’t know that I have a connection with Shota-san, and if I mention his name, it would mean that I am two-timing him, which would lead to unnecessary suspicion. Why should I be suspected when it’s Kengo-san who is two-timing me?)

“What are you talking about? Of course it was a female friend.”

“Hmm, hmm. I see. I see.”

(Why, Tenshi!? Why did you have to lie like that! If you had nothing to hide, you could have mentioned Komori’s name! So it’s confirmed after all…)

“By the way, why are you here, Kengo-san? You could have invited me to join you.”

“EHH!? Me? I… had an errand to run.”

(Errand, huh…? Well, he can’t say that he came here to pick out underwear for a girl he’s two-timing, can he? So I guess that means…)

(Tenshi–)

(Kengo-san–)

( (– is two-timing me behind my back!) )
