Chapter 7 The Beginning of the End

The Beginning of the End

“Okay. I’ll accept the condition. But only after I punish Akane and Kuwano-senpai.”

“That’s right. It can’t stay like this…”

“Yes. Please wait until the matter is resolved.”

Rumi-san looks at me worriedly. Don’t worry … I’ll be fine.

I was mentally trapped a lot, but Rumi-san’s smile saved my life.

Besides, I want to settle my relationship with Akane properly.

If it ends safely, … I’ll live with Rumi-san.

“If you have any problems, tell me everything. You can count on me.”

I nodded and Rumi-san gently stroked my cheek. Then she hugged me. The perfume, the scent, and the soft touch enveloped me.

My heart, which had been raging with hate, sadness, and anger, became calm.

“Thank you.”

“No, it’s okay. … Oh, yes. Hayato-kun, would you like to have dinner with me?”

“Is that okay?”

“Sure.”

She pulled my hand and I decided to accept her offer.

Yes, that’s right. After all, I would be living with Rumi-san in the future, so there would be no problem.

A few minutes later, Rumi-san’s homemade food was placed on the table.

Rice, miso soup, and a hamburger steak. That’s amazing in such a short time.

I quickly tried it and found it … delicious.

“Rumi-san, it’s so delicious!”

“Good. I was afraid you would say it was bad.”

“I’m so happy to be able to eat such delicious food.”

Senjo-senpai ate such delicious food every day? I envy you, … I wonder if I’ll be able to eat it from now on.

But still, where the hell is Senjo-senpai …?

Perhaps sensing my state of mind, Rumi-san explained to me.

“That’s right. Senjo, right, he’s at a friend’s house.”

“So you found out where he is.”

“Yes. He said he won’t be home for a while. …”

“Is that okay?”

“After what happened, and besides… …”

“Besides?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Rumi-san seemed to want to say something. I wondered if I should ask, but I didn’t.

I ate the rest of the food and my stomach was full.

It was time to go home.

“Well then.”

“Be careful on your way home, Hayato-kun.”

“Yes, I will. See you later.”

Rumi-san walked me to the door and I waved goodbye.

I went straight home and arrived.

I wonder if Akane is home already.

This time I won’t be fooled again.

I won’t be fooled by her smile, her words, … or anything else.

I opened the front door and entered quietly.

There are … Akane’s shoes, and…

Hey, whose shoes are those?

A visitor to …?

No, it can’t be at this time.

Well, it looks like Akane is already home.

I went into the living room, being careful.

… Hmm?

I feel a presence.

I’m sure it’s Akane, but something’s wrong.

“…”

I hear voices.

Listening carefully, I peeked through the crack in the door. Then…

“…Senpai.”

“How do you like Akane …?”

“Senpai’s … feels better than big brother’s …”

No way, no way …

Is it … Akane and … lying n🬀🬀ed on the couch?

That man is …!

Kuwano-senpai.

This is the worst.

They’re not satisfied with just the club room at school, they do whatever they want at my house too?

Enough, I understand now.

I left the house and went outside.

I called Kuwano-senpai’s mother’s number that Rumi-san had given me. After a while, the call was connected.

[… Yes, this is Kuwano.]

“My name is Oshima.”

[Oshima-san? Who’s this?]

“I know your son.”

[My son …?]

“Yes. He seems to be involved in a crime. May I ask you to come here for a moment?”

[I see, … Where can I go?]

I gave her my address.

I was able to call Kuwano-senpai’s mother.

A few minutes later, Kuwano-senpai’s mother, who seemed to have come by car, approached me.

“Good evening, Auntie.”

“Yes, good evening. Oh, um, … where is my son?”

“He’s at my house. He seems to get along well with my sister, so please give him a warning first. And I want you to collect the money he took from me.”

“Eh? Yeah…! What?!”

“Yes. Earlier, I said it was a crime, but … well, I’m not a demon either. As long as I get my money back, that’s all that matters.”

Nonsense!

There’s no way I’m going to forgive him for that. For now, tell Kuwano-senpai’s mother about the situation and get my money back. That’s the first step.

I went inside with her.

When I entered the living room, … they were still engaged.

“As you can see.”

“… No way, what a mess!”

Kuwano’s mother couldn’t hide her shock.

She couldn’t stand it anymore and stormed into the room.

“Kuwano Tomohiro! What are you doing!!!!”

The mother shouted her son’s name.

They were both frightened and panicked. Totally n🬀🬀ed.

… Fu!

Haha, this is the end of both Akane and Kuwano-senpai. …!
