And I was given a chance and we became temporary lovers once more as it was a false confession.
Kouyou said that there was not much difference between the temporary one and the real one.
I’m just happy at that point.
And that’s why, to become the real thing even just 1 second earlier, I continued my appeal on a daily basis.
And the cultural festival yesterday and today. It’s so much fun!
I even had a sleepover yesterday!
He even promised to kiss me.
Thinking about it, I was not tired at all because of the sales. With a smile and more energy than yesterday, I went to work.
I continued to work with Kouyou’s first kiss in my mind.
I didn’t think there would ever be a cloud over that thought of mine, that smile.
Even though I thought that, that guy appeared.
Sakai. I was shocked the first time I saw him. I didn’t even told him what school I was going to. He must have looked it up.
To begin with, I was in a uniform when we met again last time so he could easily know which school I go to.
At first I thought of running away.
But Kouyou helped me, it can’t be like this, is what I thought. I shouldn’t be running but to rise up and I have to overcome this.
“I get it…………..But I will come too.”
“Un…….Thank you……”
“Aah.”
“Nnー, well it’s fine. If it’s the both of you.”
“Si, sir, I’ll guide you to your seat.”
“Okayー!”
I led Sakai to an empty seat.
Kouyou is silently watching me by my side.
I’m going to be okay if it’s like this. I was strangely relieved. I still feel some dread but that’s only natural. He tried to rape me. It’s not a trauma that could be wiped out in one night. Still, knowing Kouyou was by my side made me feel somewhat safe.
“This is the menu. What will the order be?”
“Nnー, Koyomi, you look cute in that outfit.”
“The order.”
“Ahahaha, your reaction is weakー. Even though you would be happy back then.”
“I don’t remember that.”
“Noー, that is a lie. There’s no way you can forget. Because Koyomi has a dependence on me.”
“That is………”
“It’s because you were dependent that you did that kind of”
“Sir, if you don’t have any orders then it would be splendid if you could go home.”
Sakai’s words were almost drowned out by Kouyou.
“You’re noisy………It was the time for recalling the past. Can you shut up for a while?”
Sakai glared at Kouyou.
Kouyou looked at Sakai with the same expression in regard to that.
Sparks seemed to be flying only from Sakai’s side.
“I do not have time for Sir’s worthless chitchat.”
He spoke plainly in the same atmosphere as usual.
“…………Haah………….I was just thinking a bit………Then, omurice……”
“How about the drink?”
“I don’t need any.”
“Yes, sir.”
I heard Kouyou take his order and went to the kitchen like that.
But it wasn’t my voice in the middle but Kouyou’s.
“You changed huh!”
“What is it?”
“The last time I saw you, you had this kind of weird anger, like you’d just get angry with me or something? Now you’re calm, you’re trying not to take me on, or is it anger in silence?”
“Is that so.”
“The next time you interfere, I’m going to crush you.”
“……………Do as you wish.”
Be, because of me……..Kouyou will get crushed?
When I became anxious, a hand reached out from my side and stroked my head.
