Chapter 3: 2.1

Chapter 2 - Fake Girlfriend (Part 1)

 

 

"Oh, really?"

 

When I told her what had happened, Yuka Nanano rolled her eyes.

The next day after the reunion with Manami.

In the free time before my next lecture, I was taking a break at the university cafeteria.

Since it was around 15:00, many of the students present wanted to linger over a light meal and talk with friends.

I was resting with Nanano to kill time until my lecture starting in an hour, but apparently I was wrong to talk to him yesterday.

After a few seconds of keeping a straight face, his expression is gradually fading.

"Don't tell me you're trying to be funny right now?"

"I'm sorry. No, really sorry?"

Nanano responded in this way, and again mended his serious face.

But he soon became unbearable and asked.

"I still can't do it. Can I laugh? I swear, I will laugh."

"Fuck you, motherfucker. ......"

Nanano, who buried his face in his hands and let out a muffled laugh, couldn't help but hold his head up.

It is certainly interesting to hear about a friend being in such a state. But it's a different story when it's the person in question.

"Forty thousand for a meal is beyond the scope of any rich ...... man's vanity. Do you have any cash left in your wallet?"

"There is no such thing."

I shake my empty wallet in front of Nanano.

Only a few receipts fell out. The meal ticket I had just purchased was the last bill left in my wallet. Only high school students are allowed to have wallets with only coins left.

"Oh, that's so melancholy."

"I just want to go away."

Things that can be bought for 40,000 yen go round and round in my mind.

As a student living alone, 40,000 yen is a lot of money for me.

Half month's rent. One month's worth of food. Four months' cell phone bill. A game console. Four copies of "Oni no Kiba" for each of the four volumes.

"Damn!"

"Hihi, stop it, I have a stomach ache!"

Nanano put the chopsticks back on his plate to bring them to his mouth and started laughing again.

The students around us glanced at us at the sound of their laughter.

It was not precisely in response to one student's laughter.

He responded to Yuka Nanano laughter.

She is a celebrity to the extent that her name is well known on campus.

The reason is simply because they have pretty faces.

She has large, rounded eyes and a rounded nose. Her semi-long brown hair, curled loosely, contributes to her soft and gentle atmosphere.

Not only students, but even working people can get recognition if they have a good face.

I'm sure that's how the world works.

"What are you staring at?"

Nanano tilts his head and looks at me.

To be honest, I think it's insanely cute, as a friend.

People around him often envy him for being so close to Nanano.

But if you ask me if I can go out with you, that's a different story.

 

"Forty thousand yen. If I had that money, I could have gone on five or six dates with you. Too bad."

"Nanano, you know how cruel it is to say that in front of me? Do you know how cruel it is to say that in front of me?"

"I have no idea."

"......If I remember correctly, didn't you give me a hard time in high school?"

Nanano's large eyes fluttered, then she nodded without hesitation.

"I've shaken it, I've shaken it, I've shaken it. I've already shaken the bee sting."

"You know that and you're saying that now?"

Nanano is quick to throw out words like this.

In high school, I didn't realize until the end that this was a joke of sorts.

He was serious, too, and thought there was a chance we could be together.

Incidentally, the rejection was a short, commonplace "Oh no!" which is a very short and common thing to say. Is it common?

In any case, at the time, I was worried about the future of our relationship because of the rejection. I had assumed that we would never be able to talk, let alone be friends, but contrary to my expectations, the two of us have become friends who can kill time before lectures together.

The fact that they went to the same university from high school is probably a major factor.

In fact, after I was dumped, I couldn't talk much until graduation.

We've only settled into our current rapport since I managed to blow it.

"Because, you know, there are some relationships that work better when you're friends. Me and Gasser are just like that."

"Then at least try not to say something like you did earlier."

"Yes, sir."

Nanano responds honestly by raising one hand a little.

It is very frustrating to feel the cuteness in that gesture again.

It is quite difficult not to be completely aware of someone as the opposite sex once you like them, even if you have become friends. The current situation is that you have to close the lid so as not to see the feelings leaking through the cracks.

However, I don't want to rekindle it again because I don't want to woo him like I did in the third grade and then not be able to talk to him again.

That's why I wanted someone new to love. It's a vague desire, as I don't have an atte.

"Oh shit, I wish I had a girlfriend."

"I'm sorry. I don't want a boyfriend."

"I was just dumped out of the blue. I didn't mean it at all, but now I feel really sad."

"I thought it would be a good idea to make them aware of the situation."

He seemed to have invoked Nanano's own kindness, but he was not looking for it at all now. Combined with the sadness of losing 40,000 yen, he became even less excited.

"Too much crying."

"Haha, indeed!"

"You took the second shot, though!"

Nanano smiles unconcernedly, and then speaks up as if to bite.

But I was a little happy inside.

This is because I know that conversations like the one we are having now are proof that Nanano and I have grown closer. When I was in high school, I could not talk with Nanano so openly.

"I'm not going to have a flare-up. That was two years ago."

"Yes, yes, flag, flag."

"What are you trying to stir up? Do you want me to confess?"

"I don't want you to at all!"

"You're not answering clearly!"

I resumed my interrupted meal and stuck my fork into the pasta.

Spin it around with vigor, bring it to your mouth and chew it.

"That's a bold move."

I had a lecture at 16:30, so I was hungry before that. It's not that I'm burnt out.

"Well, Gasser, last time I saw you, you had a girlfriend."

The fork extended to the pasta stopped with a snap.

─ ─ Yes, I had a girlfriend a few months ago.

"I was dumped after three days. Don't make me say it, it's embarrassing."

"Poor Gasser. ......"

"Stop feeling sorry for me!"

The dating period between me and my senpai, which is named "three days under the sun" in the circle.

I went out with a senior in my circle named Rina-senpai for three days. However, neither I nor Rina-senpai confessed to her.

Speculation that I had a crush on Rina-senpai circulated within the circle, and it was conveyed to Rina-senpai herself. The way it was conveyed to him was the worst, and the scene was a drinking party of the circle.

I remember that I was forced to go out with her halfway through a drinking party, but three days later, she dumped me easily. How many times have I been rejected?

I scowled and stirred my pasta again.

"You're too stubborn, Gasser."

Nanano then offered me a few tissues.

Unsure of his intentions, Nanano puts his finger a little on his own cherry-red lips.

"What the hell?"

"Mmm."

Nanano leaned over and wiped my mouth with a tissue.

It was a quick technique for a moment.

"Here's the thing. No, don't misbehave in front of the girls."

"Sorry about ......."

Nanano nodded as he sipped from his own straw.

Girls who can make a man's eyes glaze over with just that one motion are not even dealing with me.

I let out a sigh and lifted my tray.

"Are you going to your lecture already?"

"I'm going home today. I'm going back to my next lecture, the one I can get credits for."

"Yeah, I won't lend you my notebook if you cry before the exam, okay?"

Nanano said while twirling spaghetti with a fork.

"Don't talk to me like I'm the one who owes you. I lend Nanano money quite often."

"I can borrow from a lot of people, but Gasser has a lot of lectures that he can only borrow from me."

"Damn! The difference in popularity!"

College offers more opportunities for friendships to become a weapon than high school.

In an environment where people take lectures in different ways, there is a big difference between having friends in the same lecture and not.

"If you do something interesting, I'll lend it to you."

I can't reject such a messed up request out of hand because it's .......

"Let me hear it from you at ...... for reference."

"Maybe I should go see Mr. Yuzuki one more time?"

"Can you do it?"

I immediately dismissed it and walked straight to the return slot.

I will probably not see Manami for at least a few more years. In this day and age, not being connected via SNS is synonymous with that.

Nanano's voice chased after me from behind, "See you tomorrow," and I awkwardly raised one hand.
