After all, she’d said something along the lines of “uncomfortable” during the latter half of her statement just now. I’m so sorry. [TLN: 不快 (fukai): discomfort; uncomfortable]
“R-Ritsuki… Thank you. You saved my life…”
“No, you probably would have been fine even if I hadn’t pulled you over. Sorry, I didn’t hurt your arm, did I?”
“I-I’m fine… My heart can’t stop beating a mile a minute though…”
“I must’ve startled you, huh. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to pull you so hard.”
“Y-You can be even rougher with me if you’d like!”
“I’m telling you, I didn’t do it on purpose!”
Hasumi scrutinized us as Rinka’s face reddened while we had this conversation.
“I-I see… So there are other people besides me who’ve noticed Suda-kun’s true nature.”
Hasumi quietly muttered this under her breath as she sighed, seemingly feeling disappointed.
I’m sorry… I’m such a disappointing human being that you had to sigh.
“T-This situation is no longer one where I can pick and choose my methods… I have to make Suda-kun fall for me using any means possible, even dirty ones, because otherwise… I’m no match for Rinka-san…!”
Hasumi hastily muttered something to herself as she tightly clenched her fists.
“Ritsuki embraced me with his arms… Uhehehe.”
Rinka was also muttering something to herself as she placed both her hands on her cheeks, a disheveled expression forming on her face.
It’s like the two of them are in completely distinct worlds from one another.
“Umm, you two better make sure to be careful while walking, okay…?”
My voice didn’t seem to reach them.
I guess that means they’d rather be mumbling to themselves than talking to me…
I’m not quite sure what’s going on exactly, but anyways, I returned home with my heart lightly broken by the two of them.
