Chapter 180 Ikenobu Eri's Past

Ikenobu Eri’s Past

Eri’s PoV

Why did I become like this?

If I hadn’t betrayed Kazuki, I wouldn’t be like this.

That much I can say.

“Wow, Ikenobu-san, you’re so good at teaching. I understood it right away.”

“I see, this way is easier to understand than the teacher.”

“What, you have a boyfriend!? Too bad, because you’re such a sweet and nice girl. I wish I had met you a little earlier.”

At first, it was just such sweet words. I sat near Kondo-kun at a study group, and he swayed me like that.

Then we started greeting each other at school when we saw each other, and I gradually let my guard down. He said, “I really need your help, Ikenobu-san, to study for the exam. Can we meet on Sunday, even if it’s just for a little while?” When he asked me to meet him on Sunday, I felt a sense of joy.

After all, he was the ace of the soccer team and had good looks, which made him very popular with the girls. It ate away at my heart like poison.

And before I knew it, we became s🬀x friends.

I felt sorry for Kazuki, but the relationship got deeper and deeper, and after I couldn’t get out of it, there was nothing I could do about it. There was no way I could make a calm decision.

“Who are you going to choose, me or Endo?”

“I can’t trust you with just words.”

Faced with the choice between the two, I went crazy. I lashed out at Kazuki.

“I like Kondo-kun more than you!”

“I can’t help it. Because you’re not as good as Kondo-kun!”

“I only went out with you because we were childhood friends!”

“Don’t ever talk to me again!”

Even if I can only think back, I said such terrible things. I did the worst thing I could do as a woman and as a human being. Kazuki’s desperate expression stayed in my mind. The more I thought about it, the more my heart started to die.

After that, Kazuki never appeared to me again.

Soon, rumors spread about my affair. My parents also heard about it and chastised me.

“What does that mean? Kazuki-kun stopped coming to school. What did you do?”

I couldn’t answer them. Their desperate faces overlapped with his…

“I knew it; let’s split up. I’ve done something bad. You’d better stay away from me now.”

And I got dumped. In retrospect, I think it was a self-centered thing to do. But I had to hold on to him because he was all I had left. “Don’t throw me away.” I clung to him miserably. When I told him this, “Without you, I would have nothing,” He gently embraced me.

But looking back, I gave up my dignity that day. And I became a toy for him.

From then on, I started to see him playing with other girls. I was jealous. I despaired. But I couldn’t stand up for myself because I was afraid of losing everything.

I could only watch my heart slowly die and grow cold because I had betrayed the people I cared about the most. 3 months. I took a break from school. My parents gave up on me and gave me this room, a prison of body and soul. No one could help me, and I didn’t deserve to be helped.

I’m the worst kind of woman, and I’m an evil woman.

So let’s dance like an evil woman and scatter. Tomorrow, she will make her move on me. Let’s set the best stage…

Manager Tachibana’s PoV

Matsuda-san did well. We’ll be fine now. First of all, Ikenobu-san is a very simple woman.

I made Kondo-kun act according to the script I made up, and she immediately started cheating, using the words I made up to strike the final blow into the heart of her precious childhood friend.

“Now it’s finally time. It’s my turn to deliver the final blow.”
