Chapter 0 Prologue

Prologue

I can hear the students leaving from downstairs.

The shouts of the athletic club also echo through the air, emphasizing the quietness of this place.

A girl with long black hair faces me with the sun setting in the background.

“What are you talking about, Mia?”

She is my childhood friend and girlfriend, Saeki Mia.

Long, shoulder-length black hair. Clear black eyes. Snow-white skin. A childlike face that retains an innocent look. A body with assertiveness.

Ask anyone and they will tell you that she is a beautiful girl.

In fact, she is said to be the most beautiful girl in our grade.

She looked at me with such a serious expression on her face.

“Don’t you understand?”

A beautiful soprano voice, familiar to me, caressed my ears.

“I don’t understand.”

I’m confused.

“Yes. Then I’ll say it. Akito, you and I are going to separate now, okay?”

Mia tells me again.

“…Huh? W-why!?”

I pretend to be confused by the unexpected words.

“We don’t get along. Because we’ve never held hands since we started dating. We’ve been together for three years, remember?”

“Well, that’s…”

She looks upset.

“You didn’t like me anyway, did you? That’s enough. I’m sorry I made you go out with me so far.”

“Oh, no.”

“And I already have a boyfriend. He holds my hand and we’ve already hugged.”

“…Eh?”

A pitiful voice escapes from my throat.

“Thanks for everything. Goodbye, Akito.”

Mia walks past me and leaves the rooftop.

Lively voices can be heard from below, emphasizing the quietness here.

I was left alone …

“Yoshaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

Left alone, I lay there screaming with joy.

“I am finally free from …! I’m finally free from this damn game!!!!”

It was long.

I realized the truth of this world in the summer of my junior year, started dating Mia, and only now, in April of my sophomore year, could I finally break up with her.

“Now I’m free to fall in love.”

My heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

This world is a game.

Forbidden Love

“KinKoi” for short.

It’s such a joke of a title, but the content sucked as well.

The protagonist, Mochizuki Kaito, goes to bed with three heroines.

It’s the best part of the game.

I’m Kobayashi Akito. A side character whose girlfriend is cuckolded by the protagonist.

The reason he was cuckolded was because he was inattentive to her.

It was because Akito was shy but never disliked Mia.

But Mia gets it wrong and chooses the protagonist.

When I learned about the sequence of events, I acted according to the plot.

And today I was safely dumped.

From here.

My supporting roles are over.

I’m free to fall in love.
