Chapter 567 – Side Story IF. Uncool
“What is that design?”
The next day, Miyuki, who came to buy underwear with Kana, looked calm as her older sister looked at her.
“What?”
“Isn’t it a bit erotic?”
“I want to try something like this too.”
“Why is this kid who usually only wears comfortable clothes?”
“Because I’m all grown up, I can afford things like this.”
“They say they are all grown up… It’s funny.”
“What should I do?”
She joked as shamelessly as Matsuda, and Kana laughed as if it was ridiculous and started to see what she was going to buy.
It is true that people should put a little iron plate on their face.
You can skip all the annoying things, right?
I learned a lot of good things from Matsuda.
Now that the underwear is done, I have to choose a swimsuit…
I shouldn’t buy this design that’s too flashy.
The only person she wants to show her body to is Matsuda, no one else.
Although Matsuda tries so hard to maintain her chastity, she must not turn her eyes to others.
Miyuki, who was complaining to Matsuda in her mind, left her swimsuit at home and bought only her underwear.
Afterward, I toured the streets and department stores with my parents and older sister and returned home.
As he took off the tag on the back of his underwear and lay down on the bed, his heart pounded.
I’m already looking forward to the weekend, but it’s driving me crazy.
Miyuki, who was spending time fiddling with her cell phone, got up and came out of the room when there was some noise outside the closed door.
Her mother’s happy voice comes from down the stairs.
And…
“It’s been a while since I came to take a walk with Miyuki.”
My mother’s conversation partner was Tetsuya.
Why did she suddenly come?
That said, it wasn’t a strange thing as the two went out often.
However, she is a little surprised by Tetsuya, who acts as if it is natural for her to take him out.
She usually accepted herself naturally, but after meeting Matsuda, she became a little… Should I say that she keeps her chastity?
Because of that mindset, she would avoid meeting men or being around men.
In fact, men other than Matsuda don’t catch my eye at all, so there’s no tendency for that to happen.
“So? “Have you eaten?”
“It was easy to fill my stomach. But if you give it to me, I will be grateful.”
“Then do you want to eat dinner here?”
“Yes.”
Something is awkward.
I’m sure I used to eat with Tetsuya often, but now it feels unfamiliar to sit at the table together.
“Miyuki!! Tetsuya-kun is here!”
Miyuki, hearing her mother’s loud voice, closed her eyes tightly and opened them.
She’s too lazy to go up and call, so it’s funny that she screams.
Normally we talk quietly… I have to call Matsuda, but I can’t go out like this.
As Miyuki, who was grumbling internally, reluctantly went down, Tetsuya lifted one hand onto her shoulder.
“Hello, Miyuki.”
“Hello, Tetsuya-kun. “Are you here to eat?”
“Yes.”
“Bon appétit. “Mom, I’m going out.”
As Miyuki said that and headed towards the front door, Tetsuya’s eyes were filled with embarrassment.
“You’re going?”
“I want to call you.”
“Phone call…? “Can’t we do that in our room?”
“It’s because it’s a personal call. Hello.”
Miyuki, waving her hands energetically and flashing a pretentious smile, went straight out the front door.
As he headed to the playground, he tried to call Matsuda, but Tetsuya called him from behind.
“Miyuki! “Wait a minute…”
“Why? “Did you have something to say?”
Was it a bit strange for Miyuki to immediately ask about business without being friendly?
Tetsuya scratched the back of his long head and spoke.
“Oh, well… The lady said earlier that she was going to the beach this weekend?”
“That’s right. “It’s been a while since I went.”
“Am I going too?”
“Huh…?”
“Come with me. It’s hot, and I want to swim.”
If you insist on going to the sea together… That’s absolutely not possible.
Matsuda and her own sweet time couldn’t be interrupted.
Aside from that reason, I didn’t want anything to do with Tetsuya.
Tetsuya tries to improve his own reputation by belittling others…
He is bullied by others because he is kind and gentle, but he tries to stand up strong…
I was the one playing that kind of person.
Originally, he knew Tetsuya’s true nature, but since he had returned to the past, he had promised to treat him well even though he had done nothing.
But now I felt a little uncomfortable.
Plus, he talks as if it’s natural for him to go along…
It’s okay to say it wasn’t that good, but it didn’t look good.
In the past, we used to take it for granted, but it’s so strange how the human mind is like this.
“No, Tetsuya-kun, you should go with your family.”
Miyuki clearly expressed her refusal.
Tetsuya blinked his eyes, which were covered by his messy hair.
“Huh…?”
“I’m a little reluctant to go together because of personal reasons.”
“Personal circumstances? What is that?”
It seems like there is a will to get an answer somehow.
In fact, Miyuki’s own indecisiveness also played a role in Tetsuya acting like this.
I had to draw a clear line, but it wasn’t easy, perhaps because I was a close childhood friend.
But if this goes on like this, Tetsuya will continue to look like this.
It might collide with Mazda…
Furthermore, when others see his relationship with Tetsuya, it was an impeccable fishing management.
It would be right to be a little firm and make Tetsuya stop paying attention to him.
Even though Tetsuya is a bit dark on the inside, he is kind at heart. A good person will come to him.
After finishing her pledge, Miyuki looked up at Tetsuya.
“I think I’ll have a boyfriend.”
“Uh… Uh…?”
An expression like lightning, eyes filled with a strange sense of anticipation.
Miyuki saw this and realized that she had a glimmer of hope that Tetsuya would be interested in her.
He seemed to have judged that there was a possibility by saying, ‘It seems like it will happen.’
I should have said, ‘It looks like it.’
That’s because I’m not dating Matsuda yet… I made a mistake.
Still, there was no point in telling Tetsuya not to like him. He was the kind of person who would reply that I never did that.
A situation could arise where you feel embarrassed for no reason.
Is there a way to say for sure that the person you like is not Tetsuya?
The answer came right away.
“We’ve been a bit out of touch lately, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“It’s because he doesn’t like me interacting with other men.”
“…”
Tetsuya’s mouth opened slightly.
Looking at his fluttering eyelids, he seemed to have realized that the person he called himself was not himself.
Miyuki, who heard Tetsuya’s breathing becoming increasingly rough, did not say that she would break off the relationship, but it hurt her heart to hear sharp words from her childhood friend.
Normally, we had fun hanging out without saying things like this, and Tetsuya was even more like this because he wasn’t currently kicking Matsuda’s so-called “Shit.”
He needs to be sure to make and break off relationships, but he feels foolish for not being able to do that because of affection.
From Tetsuya’s perspective, it may have seemed like Miyuki’s personality had suddenly changed.
“Sorry. So I don’t think we can go out together.”
“Ah… Well… Uh, when did that happen?”
“What?”
“Since when did you become friends with that person? Would it be rude to ask?”
“It’s not rude. “It hasn’t been long since we became friends.”
“Well, really…? But do you know that we still have feelings for each other even though we’ve only met for a short time?”
“You know.”
“I see… Congratulations.”
Tetsuya was one of those people whose inner thoughts were revealed through their faces.
It’s still the same now. Although he said he was congratulating him, his eyes and mouth showed feelings of jealousy and anger toward ‘that person’.
It feels like he liked me first, but when I see that expression, it feels a little absurd.
In the first place, he never looked at Tetsuya as the opposite sex.
A close childhood friend who I can confide in. I only had that level of favor.
But Tetsuya didn’t seem to think so.
At least that’s what it looked like just looking at his face now.
The relationship between men and women is very ambiguous.
Can’t we just be close friends? It’s difficult.
“Thank you.”
“Is that… Someone I know?”
“Yes.”
“Who is it?”
“It’s Matsuda-kun.”
“Matsuda? Matsuda who? Is this Matsuda Hisai, who went to that middle school with you?”
“Ken Matsuda.”
“Was there a kid named Ken among your classmates?”
I can’t remember the face of Ken Matsuda at all.
It’s worth it. Until just a month or two ago, we were anxious because we couldn’t eat each other.
I couldn’t believe it myself back in the day, but how can Tetsuya be so appalled?
“No… Not classmates, students in our academy class.”
“… What…? “That’s Ken Matsuda…?”
Tetsuya’s voice trembles rapidly.
On the other hand, Miyuki accepted his words without wavering.
“That’s right.”
“W-what… Are you kidding me…?”
I am completely shocked, but for some reason I feel guilty.
Because Tetsuya got a little bullied by Matsuda?
No, rather than that, it seems to be the guilt that comes from telling someone who likes you that you like someone else.
I guess a cold personality doesn’t suit me.
I hope things get resolved just this once today.
With that wish, Miyuki shook his head.
“It’s not a joke.”
