Chapter 14 Between Kaito and Akito

Between Kaito and Akito

“… what?”

“Mia. I love you. Let me try again.”

“Ugh, that’s a lie. …”

Mia shook her head.

“I’m not lying. I like Mia’s gentle personality. I like Mia’s selfishness. I like Mia’s long hair. I also like Mia’s short hair. I like Mia’s face. I like everything else about Mia.”

“… Stop it! You never told me that before!”

Drops gather at the corners of Mia’s eyes.

“This time I’ll tell you that I really like you. If it’s okay with Mia, I’ll hold your hand too. I’ll hug you. And more.”

“Stop it!”

A single tear runs down Mia’s cheek.

“I’m the one who betrayed Akito! I’m the one who betrayed you! Please insult me! I did a terrible thing and I don’t understand why you say you love me!” (Zeus: Just hold hands and hug.)

Mia screamed and burst into tears.

“No, you didn’t. I made you do it. I betrayed you. Mia didn’t do anything wrong.”

“We held hands! We hugged!”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“I’m dirty.”

“I want to know how Mia feels. Does Mia hate me?”

I interrupt Mia’s words.

Mia shakes her head.

“Do you like me?”

“I don’t know.”

Mia shakes her head again.

“Well, do you like Kaito?”

“I don’t know.”

After a long pause Mia answers.

“Why?”

“I used to like him. But now I don’t know. I don’t even know if Kaito likes me. He laughed with the other girls, even though I was there. But I did the same to Akito, so I have nothing to say and I don’t know what to do.”

Mia lowers her head and spits out a few words.

“… maybe he won’t change.”

He is a protagonist of his own choice.

“…I think so too.”

Mia feels it too and agrees with me with a sad expression on her face.

“I only see Mia.”

“…Really?”

Mia looks up at me.

“I’m sure.”

I smile at her and nod.

“Ah.”

Mia slowly stands. She exchanges glances with me.

“Don’t get me wrong. I don’t like you. So it’s not like we’re going out. …”

What do you mean by that?

“But I don’t like Kaito anymore either. I’m going to break up with Kaito. And I can’t accept you yet, I need some time alone first. Do you have a problem with that?”

“No, I don’t. Thank you.”

Akito, are you so naive to think that you can go out with her again just because you stole her event?

But it’s okay, I’m at the starting line now. I’m in the same position as Kaito.

I’m going to prove it.

I can beat the protagonist, even if I play a side character.

I won’t let Mia go.

“… the fireworks are over.”

Mia looked up at the sky and mumbled.

The sky was decorated with stars and a full moon.

“Let’s go home, shall we? I think it’s enough just to call Kaito. The president and Koharu will be there as well.”

Mia takes out her cell phone with a calm expression.

No, maybe that guy…

“Ha, ha, you’re here, Mia …”

The protagonist appeared in front of us, breathing heavily.

“Ka, Kaito!”
