Chapter 128 | Story

Reading Settings

…As I was about to leave, my ex-girlfriend Nakatsugawa Imoko called out to me.

“I have something important to talk about.”

“Huh…?”

I didn't care. Something important?

“Is that more important than Rika? I don't think so.”

Then Imoko lowered her voice and said, “Not here.”

Seriously, what's going on?

“I don't really want to talk to you. Well then.”

This girl dumped me.

That would be understandable.

But when we were dating, she cheated on me and dumped me.

After that, the whole class, including this girl, bullied me.

So, more than not, I don't feel anything for Imoko, I find her unpleasant.

Just being with her is exhausting and unpleasant.

I'm mad that she got in the way of me going to check on my precious Rika's safety.

So, I ignore Imoko and start walking.

“W-wait a minute…!”

Imoko chases after me from behind.

This is really annoying.

As I change into my shoes and head out the school gate, Imoko grabs my hand.

“I told you to wait!”

“What’s up with you?”

I have no intention of talking to her at all.

“Shinji-kun… listen to me. I have something important to tell you.”

“…keep it short.”

Then Imoko says this.

“You… are being tricked by Matsumoto-san!”

…Huh?

Being tricked…?

“What’s that?”

“You’re going out with Matsumoto-san now, right?”

“Yes.”

I answered right away, and Imoko grinned.

…It was a creepy smile.

“Matsumoto-san…Is dating you as a punishment game!”

…Ah.

That’s right, that was the setup.

But it was a punishment game set up by the classmates.

They made Matsumoto Rika to be my fake girlfriend and then dumped me later.

But Rika is kind, so she told me about that arrangement.

I wonder why Imoko is bringing up something from such an old time now…

Ah, I see…

She doesn’t know.

Imoko and the other classmates don't know that Rika and I are in it together now.

She thinks I don’t know about the stupid punishment game our classmates played.

…It pisses me off.

“That’s all I need to know?”

“What?! Wh, why?! Aren’t you surprised? Aren’t you angry, Matsumoto Rika?”

I ignore her.

What on earth is this girl?

What’s with the punishment game now?

“Wait, Shinji-kun!”

Oh, this is so noisy… I thought as I did.

“Hey, hey! Hey, you cute-faced boyfriend over there?”

A limousine stopped in front of the road.

Who came out…

“Oh, Saburo.”

A man in a black suit with sunglasses and a Terminator-like appearance…

It was Niekawa Saburo.

“Hey! Takahara Kogen told me to come and pick him up, so I came right away★”

What good timing.

Well, knowing the old man, he probably had a wiretap or something.
