Chapter 37 The Judgment of a Scumbag
#21MotoKanojoThe Judgment of a Scumbag
“Yes… This Ogasawara Shinji likes my Hatsune. And not just recently—he’s liked her since high school.”
“…!?”
Upon hearing my words, the sc🬀🬀🬀ag in front of me widened his eyes in shock.
“Ugh… But still, if he likes Hatsune-chan, wouldn’t doing something like that have the opposite effect? This is basically begging her to hate him from the bottom of her heart…”
Sasaki-senpai frowned as he posed the question.
“Well, based on his actions so far, there are two possible reasons. One: he was rejected by Hatsune in high school and is harassing her as revenge. Two: he’s deliberately driving her into a corner so he can swoop in later, pretending to be kind and making her depend on him.”
“You’ve got to be kidding me…”
Listening to my explanation, Sasaki-senpai was stunned into silence.
Honestly, there’s no other explanation for why someone who’s known Hatsune since high school would resort to such despicable tactics.
I mean, talk about creating a mess just to play the hero…
“So… how about it? Am I wrong?”
“…”
“Don’t just stand there silently. Answer me, sc🬀🬀🬀ag.”
As Ogasawara Shinji glared at me with murderous intent, I spat out those words coldly.
Someone like him—selfish, driven solely by his desires, and willing to hurt Hatsune because of it—there’s no way I could ever forgive him.
At that moment.
“Fufu… I didn’t realize he was this much of a sc🬀🬀🬀ag, not even in my investigation.”
“…!?”
When I turned around, I saw Mushakoji-san standing there, her eerie smile sending chills down my spine.
Seeing her, Ogasawara Shinji instinctively stepped back.
“Hey, Naoe-kun, did you know? This sc🬀🬀🬀ag’s father works for a company under the Mushakoji Group.”
“…Oh?”
Whoa… Is she planning to drag his entire family into this?
“And apparently, he holds a pretty good position there. Seems like he’s quite the ambitious type too.”
“Haha… If he gets demoted or something, he might lose his mind, don’t you think?”
“Fufu, maybe so.”
Mushakoji-san and I exchanged glances and shared a quiet laugh.
“Wha—!? M-My dad has nothing to do with this! I’m the one who…!”
“Haha, idiot. You just admitted it yourself.”
“Ah!”
Sigh… “Ah!” is all you’ve got?
This kind of dumb sc🬀🬀🬀ag was the one who drove Hatsune to such extremes?
Seriously… It makes me sick.
“This settles it. With the photos of your crime scene that I have, plus this confession recording, I’ll be sending it all to your family.”
Mushakoji-san, Sasaki-senpai, and I all raised our smartphones for him to see.
At this point, with the three of us recording, there was no way out for him.
Oh, wait—almost forgot.
“Mushakoji-san, we need to inform the university too.”
“Fufu, of course.”
Haha, as expected of Mushakoji-san—always so thorough.
“I’d say in two or three days, you’ll no longer be able to show your face at this university. So, make the most of your time here while you can, alright? No regrets.”
“Eh… You’re still letting this guy roam free for a couple more days?”
“…Everything needs to follow proper steps. Besides, this sc🬀🬀🬀ag’s family is moving to a remote island at the edge of Japan. Showing at least that much mercy isn’t so bad, don’t you think?”
Ah… So his father’s demotion is already set in stone. Serves him right.
“Haha! Guess I’ll spread the word to everyone, including the juniors! ‘Ogasawara Shinji is a stalking, clingy sc🬀🬀🬀ag!’”
Oh wow… Since Sasaki-senpai knows a lot of people at this university, by the time the afternoon lectures are over, the entire campus will probably know.
Yeah, he won’t be able to stay in this university or anywhere nearby anymore.
“W-Wait…! Does what I did really deserve this kind of punishment!? I mean, it’s a fact, isn’t it? That girl… Kakizaki Hatsune is the daughter of a criminal! So, what I did wasn’t completely off the mark, right!?”
“Huh? What are you even talking about? In that case, what we’re doing isn’t off the mark either. After all, you committed a ‘crime’ that justified this.”
Exactly… This guy hurt my Hatsune for two whole years. He made her suffer all this time.
Honestly, even this feels like we’re going too easy on him.
“Hmph… Live with regret and suffer for what you’ve done for the rest of your life, you sc🬀🬀🬀ag.”
“Haha, I completely agree.”
“Fufu… Serves him right.”
Leaving behind the sc🬀🬀🬀ag named Ogasawara Shinji, who had collapsed to his knees in despair, the three of us walked away from the scene.
“Ogasawara Shinji… huh…”
After reuniting with Hatsune, who was with Kinoshita-senpai, we explained what had happened. She put a hand to her chin and seemed to be deep in thought.
“…Does the name ring a bell?”
“Hmm… I tried to jog my memory, but I don’t think I know anyone by that name…”
“I see…”
Then, where did that guy learn about Hatsune and come to like her…?
As I tilted my head in thought.
“Fufu… Actually, Hatsune-senpai and that sc🬀🬀🬀ag do have a connection.”
““““W-What!? Really!?””””
Mushakoji-san’s words made all of us exclaim in surprise.
“Yes. That sc🬀🬀🬀ag used to attend the same cram school as Hatsune-senpai. He probably developed a crush on her back then. What a nuisance.”
“Uwaa…”
Mushakoji-san shrugged her shoulders as she said this, while Hatsune furrowed her brows.
Still… I’m starting to feel like this might be partly Hatsune’s fault too…?
“…Um, Yuuta? Why are you giving me that cold look?”
“Eh? Oh, uh, well…”
Hmm, maybe I should just tell her clearly.
“…Hatsune, you’re so kind that you probably ended up being nice to that sc🬀🬀🬀ag without realizing it.”
“Ah!? I-I would never do something like that!”
“Hmm… If it’s Hatsune-senpai, I think it’s possible…”
“Even you, Mikoto!?”
Hatsune looked mildly shocked.
But… that’s also proof that she’s genuinely kind. Unfortunately, that kindness backfired in this situation…
“…Alright. Hatsune, from now on, you’re absolutely forbidden from being nice to any guys other than me.”
“M-Mou! I’m only ever nice to Yuuta, okay!”
Pouting, Hatsune turned her face away from me with an exaggerated “hmph.”
Watching her like that, I couldn’t help but smile wryly.
