Chapter 95 Epilogue

Epilogue My Scumbag Childhood Friend Cuckolded My Girlfriend, but I Decided to Forgive Him Because His Doting Stepsister and Mother Would Make Amends

——Honestly, I had a grudge against Takeshi and Kaori.

I hated them, I was angry with them, I had malice toward them, I wanted to destroy them.

(If possible, I will take revenge on them as cruelly as possible.)

I didn’t care if I was unhappy——I just wanted to make them both unhappy and suffer.

But a lot of things happened…Now that Hana-san and Ichika are atoning for that guy’s sins, I understand.

(Revenge will never make me happy.)

It’s true that making them miserable will make me feel better.

However, the methods I use to do this are bound to be rough and ruthless…if I don’t do it well, I might end up in police custody, or at least expelled from school.

And first of all, I have never had malicious intentions toward others.

In other words…I’m not very good at venting ill will towards people.

People who don’t usually get angry tend to overdo it when they do.

The reason is that they are not used to being angry, so they don’t know how to be angry in the right amount.

It’s the same thing.

For someone like me who doesn’t have a lot of dark emotions, revenge wouldn’t work.

Even if I got my revenge, if I had been expelled or arrested…my life might have been distorted because of those guys.

If that happened, I would be scarred for life.

My life would be destroyed because of them.

I don’t want to be tormented by those scumbags anymore.

That’s why I was proud of myself for not choosing the path of revenge.

(It was thanks to Hana-san and Ichika that I was able to keep my cool like this.)

It was because those two were by my side that I was able to be at peace.

Because these two are atoning for Takeshi’s sins, I don’t have to risk my life.

So——I’ve decided to let go of my grudge.

(I forgive you…I’ll live my life without worrying about you anymore.)

Don’t get me wrong, I “forgive” you.

It doesn’t mean that your actions didn’t happen or that I condoned them.

I forgive you——

But I have made sure to remember that incident——and why I choose not to take revenge on you…

Because in the end, I’m happy.

I’m definitely happier than I was before Takeshi and Kaori betrayed me.

Now I have the family I always wanted.

There is no greater happiness.

So I’m grateful to you, Takeshi…

Thank you for giving me a kind mother.

Thank you for giving me a cute little sister.

You’ve given me many hard feelings, but I forgive you.

Because you gave me what I wanted the most.

Now I can live with my family.

The time I spent with Hana-san and Ichika was the happiest and most precious of my life.
