The two of them stare at me with eyes that have lost their light.
Actually, it doesn’t matter who I’m drinking with, but why are they looking at me so coldly?
This world is so unreasonable.
“Well, let’s see, … There is a big reason for this.”
“I don’t want to hear your excuses.”
“Tell me the truth, Kakeru-kun.”
Even though I have nothing to be ashamed of. But if they find out that I’m in a relationship with Hishinuma-san, even on a temporary basis, my life is probably over.
The two of them seem to be killing me.
By the way, Hishinuma-san’s face is so pale that she looks like she is about to faint.
She is older than me, how pitiful.
“…You can’t possibly be dating this woman, do you?? … I’ve seen this woman somewhere before…”
Hmm, these two should have known each other, but Sarasa-san didn’t seem to be interested or remember much about her.
No, I don’t care about that.
I can’t say anything back at Sarasa-san’s sudden remark that hit the nail on the head.
“… Are you really going out with Hishinuma-san while you have me?…”
Kurusu-san also blames me in a strange way, but I don’t remember having a relationship more than a friend.
I can’t help it, I’ll just tell them one more lie to keep their anger down.
“I asked Hishinuma-san to let me buy her a drink because she has been a great help to me in my work.”
I manage to say something like this, and make eye contact with Hishinuma-san behind me so that the two of them would not think I’m lying.
Then, as if Hishinuma-san got my message, she nods her head.
“Yes, yes, yes! I said no, but he was very insistent. Ah, haha!…”
Hishinuma-san says this with a smile, but her face is so drawn that it looks like she’s acting.
The two of them, however, seem to have come to an understanding, and their eyes lit up, albeit slightly.
“Hmmm, I see…”
“That makes sense…”
Even so, the two of them look at me somewhat suspiciously.
Well, that’s right.
If I’m in their position, I would be suspicious of them too.
However, I’m inwardly relieved that this somehow diverted the conversation.
“But …I don’t like it when those two women are around you.”
“I agree. But I don’t know why your ex-girlfriend is here.”
Aw? I’m not sure what’s going on here, but the flow of events has taken a strange turn.
I then notice that Sarasa-san and Kurusu-san are staring at each other.
This is bad.
“Get your eyes away from my Kakeru-kun. Do you want me to kill you right now?”
“Heh, I can’t believe you treated Shoryu so coldly, and yet you say that you love him…. Well, you’ve been a nuisance to me too, I’ll take care of you here.”
It isn’t a simple standoff where sparks are about to fly, but there is a deadly atmosphere between the two.
Both of them seem to have forgotten that we are in a store.
It’s probably my fault that this is happening, and I can’t ignore it here.
“Hey, you know what, guys? Can’t we talk about this later?”
I try to tell them with a smile as much as I can, but of course, they aren’t going to back down with that.
“Shoryu-kun, shut up. We’ll take you back to our house as soon as we get rid of these two.”
“Kakeru, wait for me at ….? I will release you from getting stalked by this disgusting b*tch.”
“Eh? Do you think I’d let a creep like you do this to me? Okay, what kind of death do you want? By stabbing? Or by hanging”
“Ha, sorry, I’m going to take it back. That’s right… I’m going to kidnap you, lock you up, and starve you to death.”
