Chapter 72 A Request for a Proper Talk
#Kanojo Sae mo UragittekitanodeA Request for a Proper Talk
“Hey, Hiiragi-kun.”
“…? Yes, what is it?”
“I want to talk to you after school, so I need some time.”
This happened this morning, and now classes are over and it’s after school.
I follow Machida-san, who walks in front of me.
I don’t know where she’s going, but I’m sure she has something to tell me. I don’t know the details, but it might have something to do with Kanzaki-san.
That is the only point of contact between me and Machida-san.
Well, no matter what we talk about, I want to finish it as soon as possible.
I made Shinomiya-san and Aoi-senpai wait.
I asked them to go home first, but when I told them most of what happened during the lunch break, they gave me subtle looks.
“We’re waiting for you.”
That’s what I was told.
I told them several times that they could go home first, but they said they wanted to wait and would not listen to me. They also kept reminding me to call them immediately if anything happened.
So I had to end the conversation early and leave for the sake of those who were waiting for me….
We entered the building next door without talking.
I looked out the window and saw that it was raining. It seemed that the weather forecast was correct.
The rain poured down endlessly from the gray clouds.
The place she went to was an empty classroom. It was a place I had used many times before, and this classroom was also the place where Kanzaki-san and I started dating. It was the place where Kanzaki-san and I started our relationship.
Machida-san sits at a desk and looks me in the eye.
“So, what do you want to talk about?”
“If there’s anything me and Hiiragi-kun should talk about, it’s definitely about Momoka, right? You know that too, right?”
She replied with a few confused words.
Her eyes seemed to be a bit angry.
She took a deep breath and looked at me again.
“Hiiragi-kun.”
“Yes.”
“Come on, you should forgive Momoka. I feel sorry for her.”
She said so.
“…?”
What does she mean, “I should forgive her?” I’ve already broken up with her, whether I forgive her or not.
“It’s useless to pretend that you don’t know her situation. I know that Momoka goes to Hiiragi-kun every morning to apologize.”
“…? There’s nothing to forgive. In the first place, Kanzaki-san and I are no longer lovers. And as for being cheated on, I don’t feel anything anymore.”
When I said that, she got up from the desk she was sitting at and walked over to me.
“That’s not what I meant. I want you to talk to Momoka properly.”
“Talk properly?”
What am I supposed to talk about?
“Momoka indeed did something she shouldn’t have done, but it’s sad that she stuck with you for so long. So I think Momoka will understand if you talk about it properly.”
“I see.”
I wonder if that’s true.
If that would satisfy Kanzaki-san, then we should have a proper talk.
Machida-san probably doesn’t want her to bow down to me every morning.
“Understood.”
“Thank you….”
Saying that Machida-san walked away from me and toward the classroom door.
“Then I’ll tell Momoka.”
“Understood.”
“See you.”
With that, she left….
