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 87

Shortly before Shizuku Natsukawa and Mayuka Takamine asked Shota Komori on a double date.

“So, Takamine-san. May I present you with a challenge?”

It was as if you could hear the electric sound of ‘final event’ cutting out.

Mayuka Takamine braced herself as if she had received a death sentence.

“…A challenge?”

(Even up to this point, I’ve already come out in a rage, what more do you have? Damn it! If I hadn’t fallen in love with Komori, then go ahead! Do as you like! Where did I make the wrong choice!? Is this what they call ‘weakness in love’? Something’s not right!)

“From now on, I’m going to make an appeal that things aren’t going well with Kengo. On top of that, I’m going to tell Shota-kun about my feelings for him.”

“What you’re trying to do is disgusting. You’re trying to seduce a boy who has a girlfriend.”

Of course, Takamine, who had approached Komori to take advantage of him, had no right to be angry.

If Komori and Takamine had been a real couple, it could have developed into a messy love-hate drama.

However, they are a pretend couple. In order not to give Komori to Natsukawa, she made up the reality of being stalked. Their relationship is just a fake.

For the current Takamine, this is not only a sense of guilt, but also a weakness.

Of course, Komori and Takamine are lovers to the public eye.

If the most beautiful girl in the school told her that she was going to seduce her boyfriend, she should at least be infuriated. (T/N: No need to use names, you should know who’s who.)

However, Takamine seems absolutely unwilling to divulge the fact that they are a fake couple. She does not want to expose her weakness by revealing her anger here. It’s a woman’s pride. She is determined to establish a genuine relationship with her boyfriend without being exposed.

(Hmm…? Wait a minute. Is it really disadvantageous to put the situation in perspective? Natsukawa is a woman who goes out of her way to prepare a fake boyfriend to attract Komori’s attention. Moreover, she also has the guts to proudly declare that she is going to steal Komori. If by some chance, the strength of her feelings leads her to confess her love to Komori–and if she finds out that we are fake lovers… Oh no, oh no, oh no! Before I know it, I’m the one who’s getting seriously cornered! Eh, why is my pulse beating so fast? No, no, calm down, me! Focus–It’s still no use after all! The only way to get over this critical situation is to become a real boyfriend and girlfriend. To do that, of course, I have to go through the confession stage…but it’s impossible to do that suddenly…and it’s quite embarrassing… Ah mou~, since when did I become a whiny, pure-hearted woman! I should be able to afford a confession or two! But if Komori turns me down… Oh, no. I’m pretty sure I’m going to cry.)

“Yes, you’re right. But we are students, remember? Of course, if Shota-kun had a family, I would give up. It’s taboo to come between a person who has made a lifelong commitment to his/her partner. But I am sorry to say that this is not the case with Takamine-san and Shota-kun. At least, not yet. Besides, I’m planning to propose to Shota-kun sooner or later.”

(Here she comes! Suddenly declaring a reverse proposal! Apparently, Natsukawa’s feelings for Komori are genuine. I’ll have to be prepared myself.)

“I’m not going to sneak around behind your back, of course. I’m going to challenge you fair and square. For now, if Takamine-san is willing, we could go out on a double date.”

(That’s a good idea! I can’t back down either. I don’t know where you’re taking me, but I’m going to confess to Komori too!)

Thus, the chaotic double date is set to begin.

The end result is truly a world known only to God.

(TL: Chapter 88 might or might not be the last chapter from me.)
