That is why Yuzuru fell in love with her… And because she is a smart girl, she will not act rashly.
“If I may advise you, the sooner the better.”
Suddenly, Soichiro began to say something like that.
It’s as if Soichiro himself has confessed his love to someone before and failed in the past.
“…… Hey, Soichiro.”
“No way…”
“…… Well, I told Ayaka. on Christmas.”
Soichiro said in a crisp tone.
The distance between Soichiro and Ayaka is very close.
They are childhood friends, but they are even closer than that… The two of them have maintained that relationship ever since they were children.
“So, how did it go?”
” ‘eh? But we’re already lovers.’ … is what she said”
” “…….” “
Soichiro and Ayaka were indeed lovers for a long time.
While Yuzuru and Hijiri have been making fun of it… Ayaka herself seems to have been aware of it.
… No, when you think back, her words and actions were clearly a recognition that she was Soichiro’s lover.
“When she put it that way, well, it made sense to me, too…”
“You didn’t notice?”
“Getting used to it is a scary thing.”
Yuzuru and Hijiri were dumbfounded…
But when they thought about it, that sense of distance had been the norm for both of them since they were born.
Because they had been lovers from the beginning, their awareness of being lovers must have been vague.
“And here’s the important part, okay? Then Ayaka hit me.”
“…… Why?”
“You never got stabbed before, so why did she hit you all of a sudden?”
His confession came up empty, but that was because it had already paid off.
Why had Soichiro been beaten up by Ayaka when their romance was already fulfilled?
Yuzuru and Hijiri tilted their heads.
” ‘Did you really think I was the kind of woman who would do that to a man who wasn’t her lover? You would do something like that to a woman who is not your girlfriend? You’re the worst! Idiot! Scum! Seducer! Die!’ was what she told me while scolding”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“Just die, man.”
“Shut up, I’ll kill you.”
When Yuzuru and Hijiri stirred him up, Soichiro started to get upset.
However…
If Soichiro’s story is correct, Soichiro and Ayaka are now in a state of quarrel and seclusion.
“So how are you going to die and apologize?”
“You want to commit seppuku like a samurai? Shall I assist you?”
“I am not going to die… I got Chiharu to mediate for me, so I managed somehow. No need to worry about it.”
It seems that something has been done.
Yuzuru and Hijiri were relieved.
At least, they hope that their friend will be happy, even if he is a scumbag. Yes, even if he is a scumbag.
“Well, you know what? If you don’t want to end up like me, you’d better make sure you’ve made the right decision. If you keep dipping into lukewarm water just because it feels good, you’ll end up like a boiled frog.”
“…I’ll keep that in mind.”
Soichiro’s scumbag episode was more informative than expected.
… Though when thinking back on it calmly, it doesn’t seem like it’s already too late.
“By the way, Soichiro. What are you planning to do with Chiharu?”
“Eh? … Well, don’t worry. I can’t tell you the details yet …….but we’ll figure it out.”
“… Really? Before you talk to Yuzuru about lessons learned, you should first make use of your experience, right?”
Yuzuru and Hijiri were very worried that Soichiro would be boiled to death in a pot.
