The Losing Heroine Dumped by Her Shady Childhood Friend Will Definitely Win as Long as I’m Around!

Chapter 18: Leave My Precious Alone

Lunch break. Chinatsu-chan and I were enjoying our lunch on a bench near the tennis court.

I had just finished eating my lunch and was getting up to go back to the classroom when she opened her mouth apologetically.

It is embarrassing to be seen returning to the classroom together.

I was heading to the classroom, taking a little detour because of Chinatsu-chan cute request

Our relationship was a secret, even from our classmates. Thats why I was making an effort to hide it.

The reason I was returning later than Chinatsu-chan in this way was to maintain the secret.

Someday I would like to show my classmates how it feels to be arm in arm with Chinatsu-chan, but now was not the time yet. But in the future, I am sure we will get more intimate and lovey dovey with each other.

I was walking along the unpopular corridor, imagining so.

So, I never imagined that I would encounter a Shuraba.

Ayano, Im only stating the obvious. All Ive done is ask you repeatedly to go on a date with me on your days off. Why cant you do that? Why cant you make time for me when youre dating me? Thats crazy!

Its just that Im busy . Besides, its not like we havent seen each other on our days off.

Youre just dropping me off and picking me up! Thats not a date!

Hiii!. C-Calm down, Kentaro-kun.

I looked up at the staircase in response to the loud voice.

It appeared to be Osako and Matsuyuki. Rather than arguing, it seemed that Osako was blaming Matsuyuki unilaterally.

It looked like a very troublesome situation. Not my business , lets get the hell out of here.

Ah, Masataka-kun

Nope, Wrong guy.

Before I could leave the scene, Matsuyuki came running down the stairs and clung to me.

Hey, let go of me! If he misunderstands me, Ill be in trouble!

Please dont say that. Im in a pinch!

No, I dont care! If Chinatsu-chan was in a pinch, I was ready to stand up for her even if my opponent was a mountain gorilla. But I was not prepared to do anything for Matsuyuki. Because I only care about Chinatsu-chan and my attention was only for her.

I never thought Kentaro-kun was such an angry person. . Masataka-kun, please help me!

Dont drag me into this! Oh, Oi, where are you touching? Dont stick to me!

Isnt it fine, its not going to diminish. I wont let go until you help me.

Let go of me!

The battle between me trying to pull away Matsuyuki and Matsuyuki, who seemed determined not to let me go, began.

Hey, hey, What are you do??!!!!!

Osako intervened between Matsuyuki and me.

Thanks to him, I was able to free myself from Matsuyuki. This was the first time I thanked Osako.

Why the hell is Sano-kun here! More importantly, Ayano, what did you call him just now? What kind of relationship are you two having?

What kind of relationship? Osako, with his frantic look, was apparently having none of it, though.

Masataka-kun is a good friend of mine because we were in the same class last year. Hes a great friend who helps me out when Im in a pinch.

Im not your close friend. I dont want to be your close friend, and can I go now?

I had no interest in getting involved in other peoples lovers quarrels.

If Matsuyuki didnt intend to be in a relationship in the first place, why not just say so? Why was Osako still acting like a boyfriend?

Or are they really dating? I dont know the truth. I was not interested, so I was not going to question them.

phew.

Osako, who had been lashing out, took a breath.

Perhaps he regained some of his composure after Matsuyukis friend comment, but the next time he looked at me, his eyes changed.

Sano-kun, Ayano is a kind girl. But dont get carried away and think you can lay your hands on her. Youll only get hurt.

Somehow, his eyes looked more disgusting than they did earlier.

Okay, okay. I dont know, but its my fault.

I didnt want to get into trouble for anything other than Chinatsu-chan. I apologized appropriately and tried to leave the place, since my pride was not hurt by such a thing.

Hmm, Remember if I get serious, not only Sano-kun, but also the people around you wont get off scot-free.

Perhaps Osako intended it as a small threat.

Oi, Osako

Hi!?

Even if it was a lie, there were things you could say and things you could not say.

I dont care what you do. Whether you date beautiful girls or make fun of others, Im not jealous of you at all. Im not going to go out of my way to scold you.

Osakos got cold feet. That was irrelevant.

But you know, If you mess with someone I deeply care about. Ill crush you.

It was neither a lie nor a deception.

If Osako hurts Chinatsu-chan again, I would never forgive him.

Ignoring Osako, who had stopped saying anything, I left this place this time.

*****

Right after that, I went back to the classroom.

Sano-kun, Im sorry. And thank you.

Osako apologized and thanked me.

Thanks to you, I was able to keep my cool. After I calmed down and talked with Ayano, we decided to go on a date. I knew I shouldnt be so emotional.

He blabbered on and on, even though I didnt ask him.

You are a hanmenkyoushi, Well, Ill go now.

(T/N: hanmenkyoushi or   means: bad example from which one can learn; good example of what not to do (esp. how not to behave); negative example)

And he ended the conversation on his own. Even if it wasnt me, Id still be stunned.

.What was that Osako guy all about?

Anyway, youre telling me that things went well with Matsuyuki? Dont report that to me. I was at a loss for reaction.

Still, I didnt understand Matsuyuki more than Osako.

She promised to go on a date with Osako even though she asked for my help earlier. What did she mean they were not dating?

Either Matsuyuki lied to me. Or maybe she changed her mind and decided to get into a relationship.

Well, I didnt care either way.

So, by hanmenkyoushi, do you mean me?

For some reason, I was the one who got angry emotionally

I was hurt. Ill let Chinatsu-chan comfort me a lot. I decided to let her spoil me today.
