Chapter 16: Getting Found Out
Im sorry I-uh, I think my finger accidentally scrolled up when I was doing my repentance earlier, and it sorta went back through your talk history with Shimada
AH!
If you scroll up youll probably be able to see Thursdays talk with Sei-chan.
And by Thursday, I mean the day I made my confession to
So you like Shimada?
Its bad, huh?
No, Its not bad, but eh really?
Im serious now. Come on, give me back my phone.
Yuuichi handed the phone over to me, completely stunned.
I meant, eh, you confessed already?
Aah, yeah. I got a little carried away
Seriously? What? Eh? Wait, Im having a hard time wrapping my head around this sudden situation.
Seeing Yuuichis dismay, I sighed heavily.
I didnt expect this guy to find out about it like this.
Its a good opportunity, so Ill just tell him about it.
Its simple. It means that I actually like Shimada and that Ive already confessed my love to her.
Seriously eh, so, are you two dating?
No Were not dating
Oh, so you got rejected then?
No, I havent been rejected either. The answer is still pending.
Its still pending, but when will I get a response
Seriously? Well if its on hold it means that theres still a chance. If she didnt feel anything she would have turned you down right away otherwise.
Hmm, I wonder Well if you think of it positively, that may be the case.
Yeah Im sure. But Wow, I never thought that Tsukasa liked Shimada I think that you guys would be a good match.
Haha, thanks.
I was sure this was what that guy would say. After all it was this guy that Sei-chan fell in love with in the original story Damn you, protagonist.
Ill hate you if she chooses to reject me.
What why!? Im not involved with it!
Im kidding.
Well, its really a joke, because if I actually hate him it will be nothing but false resentment towards him.
I may resent him a little, but that will never make me actually hate him.
But Tsukasa already confessed right? Hey, Im going to confess tomorrow too, so tell me.
What?
How you confess. Stuff like that.
Of course I wont. Its like a punishment game to me.
Come on! I wont tell anyone! Please! Im just using it as a reference for tomorrow!
No, if it were you, you could just say, I like you, please go out with me, and Fujise would agree
So I dont think you actually need my advice But theres no way that I can just tell you that.
Hah, Its embarrassing as hell, so Ill keep it brief.
Oh! As expected of Tsukasa! Youre the man!
Youve got a lot of nerve saying that!
So I told Yuichi about the time I confessed my feelings to Sei-chan.
I was very embarrassed so I didnt tell him too much about how our conversation flowed but I gave him a rough idea of what I had said.
And for this guy, I think thats the part he really wanted to hear about, because he wants to use it as a reference for his confession tomorrow.
Then we talked for a short while, and Yuichis first thoughts were
Thats a marriage proposal.
HAH?!
Thats not what Id expected to hear at all.
He-Hey, Wh-Why is that a proposal?
No, on the contrary, what else could it be but a proposal? I like you, please go out with me might be a normal confession, but Ill make you happy is definitely a proposal.
Kuu
Its true that those words alone sound like a proposal, but!
Hey, I didnt ask her to marry me, so it should be safe!
Hmm, yeah just barely though
Yeah, I guess Im really on the edge currently.
Eh? So that means Tsukasa likes Shimada so much that you would want to marry her?
If you marry Sei-chan, youll die, I swear.
Do you like her that much?
Of course I do, its Sei-chan.
In my previous world, I spent all my non-school hours working part-time and devoted almost all of my time and money towards Sei-chan.
Just being able to breathe the same air in the same world with Sei-chan, who I love so much, is already too much happiness for me
Its not like Im so happy that Id be willing to die if we get together and get married.
Id be too happy to die, my cause of death would by death by natural causes.
I didnt think you liked Shimada that much You also said something like Sei-chan just now.
Oh, I messed up.
No, when I looked at your RINEs message history, I could see the words Sei-chan.
Come to think of it, I think I called her Sei-chan when we talked on Thursday night because I thought that I was still in a dream.
But now I was allowed to call her Sei-chan whenever we were alone together. This is the best, huh?
Although sometimes as a reflex, like just now, I call her Sei-chan at the spur of the moment due to my habits of calling her that in my previous world.
And speaking of RINE, I havent replied to her message yet.
I had just shown this guy the message from Sei-chan and forgot to reply to her.
Thats right. I mean, is Shimada really going to come to the dates place? If so, Id really appreciate it
Well, lets ask her about that first.
Lets see,the message Ill send is..
Shigemoto says hed be grateful if youd do it, but wouldnt that put a huge burden on Sei-chan?
Alright, sent.
It was immediately read, and a few seconds later, I received a reply.
Its not that much since its for Shiho. Keep it a secret from Shiho though. I didnt tell her that Tojoin might come and disrupt the date. She was looking forward to this, so I dont want to unnecessarily worry her.
Youre such a good girl! I love you so much!
Youre not even hiding your feelings for Shimada anymore now, are you?
