Chapter 185 Unexpected

Unexpected

Manager Tachibana’s PoV

The door opened slowly. A man who shouldn’t be here slipped into the room.

“Why…is Mitsuda-kun here?”

An unintended scream escaped.

Hearing these words, the man laughed happily.

“Why am I here, you ask? Because I’m here to outwit you.”

Shaking his huge body, the man who was supposed to be Kondo-kun’s slave smiled wickedly. Then, as the meaning of his words penetrated my mind, I heard the sound of blood rushing to my ears.

“Outwit?”

“Yes, that’s right. I’m not on board with any of your maneuvers, you know. From the beginning. I heard what you said, but I had no intention of doing it. I knew you would blame me for everything. There is no way I will accept your offer, bitch, don’t make a fool of me…”

His hideous laugh echoed through the clubroom.

“But, but you said you did well…”

Matsuda-san also seemed unable to comprehend the situation and asked back with a shudder.

“Oh, yes, I did indeed do well. I made sure to tell Kondo’s pawn in the soccer club that Ikenobu Eri was going to tip off the teacher. They’re probably on their way to Ikenobu’s house right now to raid her. They don’t know that I tipped off the police in advance. They are idiots. They must have been caught by the police who are waiting for them now.”

Negative emotions like jealousy, humiliation, and an inferiority complex seemed to swirl inside me.

“Why do you sell your friends…”

“Friends? I don’t think the guys who used me and treated me like a slave for three years are my friends. I could tolerate it if Kondo could get me a sports recommendation… but I can’t even do that because of him. So I have to take revenge.”

He seemed to be a bit broken already because he even passed on our accusations with a cool face and a broken laugh.

“…”

“You’re an idiot too, Tachibana. Why did you consult me, of all people? I’ve had a grudge against Kondo for a long time. You were Kondo’s woman too, right? Then you’re the ones I should avenge. Thank you for making it easier for me.”

Hearing these words, I can’t stop trembling.

The illusion of the death penalty is being imagined.

“What are you going to do to us?”

“Don’t be afraid. I’m not interested in any of you. Who wants to mess with a woman who’s connected to Kondo? I love to see the guys who looked down on me get destroyed.”

And then he starts laughing like a broken man. I realize that I’m slowly being driven into a helpless cul-de-sac, and I can’t stop myself from getting dizzy.

It’s okay. There is still no conclusive evidence of my involvement. I should be able to get away with whatever I want. Right, it can’t be over yet.

“Hey, Tachibana. You used to be so talkative. Have you given up yet? You’ve won so many awards for your talents, right? Ah, how come I didn’t notice? Maybe you don’t have any talent after all…”

The words I didn’t want to hear were hurled at me at that moment when I was backed into a corner. Humiliation, humiliation, humiliation!

“Shut up. Shut up!”

I couldn’t help but let out a loud voice.

“Are you angry? It’s like admitting it, isn’t it?”

I was shaking with rage because of the worst aggravation.

“I told you to shut up!”

The voice echoes down the hall. Even, I’m surprised that I can speak so loudly.

“Damn, you’re surprisingly defensive. Even if you yell like that, I won’t back down. Well, that’s okay then. I guess with this I’ll get away with it.”

Saying that he slips out into the hallway. Oh no. He is under suspension, and his presence in the school means that he is…

“Tachibana, you’re just another incompetent who thinks she’s good at manipulating people. At the very least, you are not even a footnote to the monster who created this scenario. You’re just a fool who made a mistake and dug his own grave, you know that?”

I shudder with anger as I stare at the man who is trying to undermine my dignity until the moment he leaves.

Then the teachers burst into the club room and we were surrounded…
