For Some Reason, My Ex-girlfriend, Who Lost Interest in Me, and My Current Girlfriend, Whom I’ve Known Since Childhood, Are Now Fighting Over Me - CH 77

“Then could you first tell me your name and age?”

Komori and the others were taken to a police station where they were questioned.

Kengo Sunagawa, who was looked at by the police officer, said,

“…I’m…Ke…-Gawa.”

He looked down with an expression like it was the end of the world.

His heart was in turmoil.

(WHAAAAAAAAA!!! Why was I taken to a police station!? I was just playing the role of my sister’s fake boyfriend, I had no intention of seriously attacking Komori! Why is this turning into a real love affair! I really don’t get it!)

“I can’t hear you if you mumble in such a low voice. Could you please speak a little louder?”

Kengo Sunagawa ponders his thoughts on the urging of his name.

(Maybe I should take this opportunity to clear everything up? That Shizuku Natsukawa and I are brother and sister, that we’re not lovers… But if that’s the case, the explanation for the attack on Komori would be too complicated. I don’t see why I should be outraged that my sister came out of a love hotel with a guy. I’m not a siscon! Damn. As expected, it’s difficult even for me to explain it well. First of all, I need to buy some time–)

“His name is Kengo Sunagawa-kun. And this is–“

“–Shizuku Natsukawa. I’m Kengo’s girlfriend.”

(This Komori and stupid sister!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! B******s, how dare they block my way with such perfect timing!? I’ve been racking my brain with a 180 IQ trying to figure out a way out of this situation! What the h**l are you two trying to do to me!?)

(I-It’s strange… Sunagawa-kun, who had been so angry just a moment ago, has suddenly gone silent… Hah~, could it be that as soon as he came to himself after being taken to the police station, he was devastated by the reality that I had (seemingly) slept with Natsukawa-san…!? I-I can’t do this! I have to clear up this misunderstanding as soon as possible! Otherwise, his spirit might break!)

Shota Komori, unaware of Kengo Sunagawa’s concern, got into a great hurry to explain the circumstances of the incident.

☆

“–That’s basically it.”

“In short. Komori-kun and Natsukawa-san had gone out together to buy a present for Sunagawa-kun. Then, after feeling unwell and falling into a puddle, you two went to a love hotel to warm up. And the moment your clothes dried and you went outside, Sunagawa-kun saw you. Is that right?”

“”Yes.””

The Komori and Natsukawa pair answered in perfect sync.

Their intention was to settle the matter as soon as possible.

Natsukawa’s feelings at this time were,

(…You did something really, really, really unnecessary, Kengo. If only you hadn’t interrupted me right then and there, I would’ve been alone with Shota-kun at a family restaurant right now! And you could have done more to show that things weren’t going well with our fake relationship. I’m not sure of what you were really thinking…showing up as my boyfriend when Shota-kun and I hadn’t even crossed the line. It would’ve been better if we had gotten into a relationship. I know you want to get out of this as soon as possible, but I’m hopelessly disappointed in you.)

Shizuku Natsukawa stomped on Kengo Sunagawa’s foot from a blind spot.

(Do you get it? This is the worst situation. Because of you, Shota-kun’s evaluation of me has plummeted. After all, I chose a man who would attack someone without confirming the truth as my lover. This is the same as confessing that I’m a woman who has no eye for men. Thanks to this, all the efforts I have made to instill in him that I’m a good woman have gone down the drain. Shota-kun must be very disappointed. He helped me pick out a gift for my fake boyfriend, and now he’s in police custody. What a way to repay a favor.)

“Hmm. Even if it’s okay that she went out with Komori-kun to give her boyfriend a present, wasn’t it a bad idea to go to a love hotel? Even if it was Sunagawa-kun’s hasty mistake, he wasn’t wrong to be suspicious. Besides, there’s no proof that you two didn’t cross the line, is there?”

The police officer was very careful to talk to all three of them so as not to leave any loose ends.

This is a consideration to avoid another brawl as soon as they are released.

Apparently, he wants to convince Sunagawa that nothing happened between Komori and Natsukawa.

Shizuku Natsukawa, who has a love deviation below elementary school level, displays her pomposity in response to this question.

(Proof that nothing happened between me and Komori-kun? Fufu, not a very good pass from a state dog. I might as well take this opportunity. My image must have been ruined by the unexpected love-hate drama, so let’s appeal to Komori-kun here as a pure, innocent, and devoted maiden.) (T/N: Probably a reference I don’t get.)

“Komori-kun was just taking care of me when I got drunk from the alcohol (contained in the Mont Blanc). Then, while walking me home, we staggered and fell into a puddle. I took him to a place where we could warm up quickly so that we wouldn’t catch a cold. Besides, I’m–“

Shizuku Natsukawa looks at the police officer, Sunagawa, and finally Komori and tells them…

“–A virgin!”

The police station froze.
