Chapter 1 The Day I Lost My Best Friend and My Girlfriend at the Same Time

The Day I Lost My Best Friend and My Girlfriend at the Same Time

——I will never forget that scene.

The house next door. A n🬀🬀ed man and woman, visible through the window, were engaged in an unspeakable act.

The curtains are only half open, so I can’t see the whole scene. The window is also closed, so I can’t hear them. But I can clearly see that the man and the woman are two people I know very well.

The woman is my girlfriend——Enjo Kaori, whom I’ve had a crush on since elementary school, and the person of my dreams. We started dating two weeks ago, and we haven’t even been on a date yet.

And the guy, the guy I knew better than anyone else, was my childhood friend——Itsumi Takeshi. He was popular with women and a good friend I could rely on. I had also consulted him about my girlfriend, and he gave me a push when I confessed my feelings to her. I even considered him a benefactor.

He knew all about my feelings and circumstances, and yet he…slept with my girlfriend.

“——F🬀🬀k!”

Of course, I wanted to hit him.

But even though the rooms are across from each other, the distance between them is a few meters, too far for me to…jump over. The only thing I can do is throw something at the window to get their attention, but you can’t see the whole picture because it’s through the window. You cheat on me nine times out of ten, [I didn’t do anything. You just misunderstood me.] I was angry and stupid for forgiving.

So I decided to go straight to him.

That way I can go to hit…Takeshi without any excuse and denounce Kaori.

“…damn!”

I suppressed my deviant feelings and ran out of the room.

My head feels like it’s going to burst from the stress. I felt something shaking in my eyes…and I couldn’t think straight.

I was so angry that I lost control of myself. I was unsteady on my feet, and on my way down to the first floor, I stepped off the stairs and fell down a few steps.

But there was no pain. Blood oozed from my cheek as if I had hit my face hard, but I still couldn’t bring myself to treat it.

“I won’t forgive you…!!!”

Only my resentment towards those two people kept me going. I couldn’t even be bothered to put on my shoes, so I went outside in my socks.

Within ten seconds, I arrived at my childhood friend’s house next door. Without knocking or even using the intercom, I put my hand on the doorknob and opened it violently.

I was about to go upstairs to the guy’s room, but just before I did, someone came out of the living room.

“Huh? Takumi-kun…what’s wrong!? You’re bleeding!”

…Ah, come to think of it, there are other people in this house besides him.

The one who looked at me with concern was Takeshi’s mother——Itsumi Hana.

She was a beautiful woman and well known in the neighborhood, with flowing wavy black hair that complemented her perfectly. She had a gentle personality and took good care of me.

She was the only adult who spoiled me since I lost my grandparents who raised me and separated from my parents when I was very young.

But now I only saw her as an enemy.

She is the mother who raised him, the one who betrayed me.

She is also responsible for Takeshi becoming such a sc🬀m.

“Move…I’m here for Takeshi.”

“No, you’re bleeding…wait for me, I’ll fix you right away——”

“That’s why I told you…get lost!”

I raised my voice and pushed Hana-san away who was blocking my way.

Hana-san was very surprised because I usually don’t do anything rough.

“Takumi, you…? Really, what’s wrong? Did you have a fight with Takeshi?”

“I wish it was a fight, but…it’s not. Your son is having s🬀x with my girlfriend right now!”

I told her as if to spit it out.

So I tried to climb the stairs, telling her not to block my way…but Hana-san was persistent and held me back.

“What do you mean, s🬀x…? Auntie doesn’t understand. I’m sorry, Takumi…calm down and let me talk to you?”

Her face was pale.

Rather, it seems like Hana-san is paler than me.

Well, that didn’t stop me from getting angry.

She grabbed my shirt and wouldn’t let go, and she was in my way.

“Get out of the way!”

I shook myself violently and tried to pull Hana-san’s hand away, and this time I told her in plain language.

“Your son has betrayed me…he is having an affair with my girlfriend! Is that clear? I’m going to beat up your son, so get out of my way!”

Uwaki. (Tl: having an affair/cheating.)

It was the moment the word was spoken.

The expression vanished from Hana-san’s face.

“——Uwa-ki? This can’t be true…”

Hana-san has always been a calm and gentle person, always smiling gently.

But now she’s…expressionless.

“Because Takeshi’s father…cheated on me and left us? We had a very hard time because of that. So there’s no way Takeshi…did the same thing as that guy.”

It was kinda scary, so scary that I stopped in my tracks, full of anger——
