I Was Lied to by the Most Beautiful Girl in My Grade, so I Decided To Go Out With Her - Volume 1 -CH 11

Chapter 11(Koyomi’s POV)

“Um, I’m sorry. I don’t think I get what you are talking about.”

A sudden voice from the side interrupted Sakai when he is talking.

It’s Kiyama. Kiyama stopped Sakai from speaking.

“No, it’s not like I’m trying to pick a fight, and I’m not imitating Sandwich Man either, please don’t be mean.”

His voice can be heard clearly.

Fufu, it’s Kiyama-like.

“Um, don’t you think it’s enough now? You keep talking about Tachibana when she was in middle school, I don’t have any interest in that.”

“Yes, I honestly don’t really care.”

“…..?…No, I don’t know about being cool or whatever, but I’m already tired. Listening to you speak without stopping makes me feel irritated.”

For……….me?

I thought he was disappointed in me. But,

I was wrong. It was a terrible misunderstanding.

On the contrary, Sakai got angry

A completely different kind of tears from a while ago is about to come out.

……….I’m happy. I was just happy.

“I’m not really the type of person to get angry for someone though? I am angry for myself. What’s important is not the past but the present, right?”

It wasn’t just for me.

Kiyama was angry when I was being mocked.

It was the same during the day when I falsely confessed to him. He was just protecting me.

The present is way more important than the past……..

Those words resounded in my heart.

I’ve never heard words that made me this happy before.

“To each their own, right? At least I’ve never felt bad about it, though, have I? ”

……..Thank you……..Thank you… Thank you……..!

To look at me like this properly, to evaluate me without any bias.

Unlike those people who confessed to me up until now who are only after my face and body.

“Hey you, can you stop it already! I told you I’m on a date right? I don’t have time to listen to your bullcrap. I don’t even have a slight bit of interest in her past, you know. Don’t get excited all by yourself!?”

This is the first time I’ve seen Kiyama this angry.

“In the first place, don’t ask me to agree with you every time. It was just too boring that I was about to play with my phone, you know? Right? Isn’t it funny? Just shut up! I’m not even listening to 10% of what you are saying! I’ve lost interest with the first word! You’ve been talking about it for a long time by yourself. Tachibana doesn’t even seem happy at all. If you want to reminisce so badly, just go home and look at your album while talking to yourself! It’s too damn long! We’re running out of time! We only have until 5:30 p.m.!”

I see……..

That gesture was just a random response huh…….

“Shut up, you fucking naked eye. I wear contacts when I exercise. Don’t mount me just because you have good eyesight. You’re that kind of guy, right? You can’t be the only one to join in the conversation while your friends are talking about glasses and contacts, so you try to brag about how pathetic it is that you guys have bad eyesight. When you put on your contacts, everyone else is so used to putting them on that they’re done in no time, but you’re the only one who slows down and says, “Huh? What’s wrong? You’re the only one who slows down and tries hard to cover up the fact that you can’t put them on, right?”

Fufu…….. It was kind of fun to imagine.

I don’t think that’s what glasses mean in this context though………..

“Eh? Not really though? ……..E…..Eh? And that’s why you were talking so happily? What a happy person. …… I think it’s good.”

“I mean, I may look like a jerk, but when I was in kindergarten I was a very naughty kid, and all I see in my photo albums are pictures of me running around the house naked. But then, one day, I saw a cool character in a manga that I liked, and I admired him so much that I started copying him, and that’s how I became the person I am today. Well, that cool character was such a scumbag that I hate him now. Normally, when you love something, you want to change for it, don’t you? It’s natural and I don’t think it’s strange at all. Everyone has an embarrassing story. I think it’s old-fashioned to dig them out and make fun of them. Besides, I think it’s much weirder and more interesting for you to be cheating on your girlfriend without hesitation and telling people about it.”

Aah, I was being accepted.

That day, when I was crying in the classroom, thanks to Ena denial I was able to return to normal.

I felt like the weight in my heart went away.

I kept denying what I was at that time.

I don’t want to ever remember it again and sealed it deep inside.

But I might be mistaken.

That was just forgetting. I can’t do that if I want to overcome this.

The past that I rejected wasn’t fun, it’s not weird at all. I accepted that it was a normal thing.

You’re much weirder than I am, he told me.

The tears overflowed.

“U…Umm………are you fine?”

I am not fine. My tears won’t stop. It is overflowing.

……I’m so happy….I’m so happy……….I’m just so happy.

“I’m sorry, I might not be fine…….”

I buried my face in his chest and cried without realizing it.

He just kept patting my head without saying anything.

Aah……..

…………I was………saved……by him……by Kouyou…
