After receiving a passionate love confession from Kiyoka and being ordered to call her by her name, Kiyoka has become even more free-spirited in front of me than before.
She must be enjoying her freedom after being released from the curse of her childhood friend, Iizuka.
Well, to be honest, I don’t feel bad about being told I’m liked this much.
We’re compatible and she’s an easygoing female friend, so even if she says she likes me, there’s no need to treat her specially.
As for how Kiyoka has been behaving recently,
「Seiji-kun, Seiji-kun♪」
『Ou, what’s up, Suzumiya-san?』
「Redo.」
『Eh? Ahh… Kiyoka, what’s up?』
「Ufufu, so you see, Seiji-kun♪」
『This exchange is such a hassle.』
「Geez! Listen to me properly!」
『Yeah, yeah, go ahead and continue.』
「So, it’s almost time for the end-of-term exams, right? I was thinking I’d like to have another study session.」
『I see, yeah. Let’s have another study session… but no need for the lucky underwear!』
「Ah, geez! I was just about to say that! You’re so mean!」
And so, things are pretty much the same.
And as for the other guy.
What happened to Iizuka Masato after that…
After Kiyoka delivered the final blow, he completely refused to come to school and transferred out in less than a month.
I felt a bit sorry, thinking maybe we pushed him too far, but considering his danger, it might have been the best outcome for Kiyoka’s safety.
With that level of obsession, it seemed impossible to correct his twisted personality.
And as for me.
For some reason, my popular phase arrived!
Not just Kiyoka, but I got confessed to by several other girls!
Apparently, rumors spread that my handling of Kiyoka during the cake-stealing incident was smart and reliable, and that I protected Kiyoka by sacrificing myself when she delivered the final blow to Iizuka, even though I had no such intentions, various stories were beautified and spread.
But you know, as you can imagine, there’s someone who gets in a bad mood because of this.
It’s Suzumiya Kiyoka.
Now, even though she used to be reserved in public, she tries to get really clingy even in front of others.
She even barks at the other girls saying, “Seiji-kun is marked by me!”, making girlfriend claims.
Though she’s not my girlfriend yet…
In the end, I had to turn down all of them, but it couldn’t be helped.
I thought about it, and Kiyoka’s approach to romance is kind of similar to Iizuka’s, isn’t it?
Probably because Kiyoka said she has no experience in love either, it feels like the approach she received from Iizuka until now has become her standard.
Well, in Kiyoka’s case, her personality hasn’t been twisted, and she’s interesting and cute, so it’s forgivable.
