Chapter 120: Chaos Can Only Be Resolved Through Action

Reading Settings

“Well, first, let’s call Kurebayashi-san and explain the situation.”

“Got it.”

With that, Kenzaki-san went inside. I was too scared to move from my spot outside, especially since the first thing I heard when the door opened was Ange’s shrill voice.

If I think about it calmly, Ange is probably the least connected to my cohabitation plans.

Kenzaki-san works quickly. She came back out with Kurebayashi-san, leaving Ange’s shrieks behind the closed door.

“So, Kurebayashi-san, when did I ever say we should move in together?”

I jumped straight to the point, and Kurebayashi-san looked genuinely confused.

“Um… but Yuuta, you clearly asked me, ‘Are you okay with cohabitation?'”

“Oh.”

Oh, damn!

I meant cohabitation as being okay with girls who like other girls, like Kenzaki-san, not living together!

“…Jeez.”

Kenzaki-san’s annoyed glare and Kurebayashi-san’s confused eyes were hard to take. Mostly for my heart.

I had no choice but to explain again.

“I meant if you were okay with girls liking other girls, not moving in together!”

“…Huh?”

…

…

“N-no way…”

While avoiding mentioning Kenzaki-san specifically, I was asking if she could reciprocate feelings with another girl. Kurebayashi-san looked devastated, like she’d been caught in a storm. Meanwhile, Kenzaki-san looked utterly hopeless, and I felt my life was in danger.

“…”

Wobbling slightly, Kurebayashi-san went back inside, not even trying to hide her despair.

“No chance, huh? Well, it’s not surprising.”

Kenzaki-san recovered from the shock quickly.

“I knew it wouldn't be easy, but… I guess there is a difference between affection and love.”

“…”

“Since we’ve reconciled, I started hoping for more. It’s painful…”

Somehow, hearing such a romantic statement from a beauty like Kenzaki-san felt fitting.

But it was also unlike her usual confident self.

“Hey, you.”

“Yes?”

“Do you really feel nothing for Mii?”

“No, not really.”

Being asked so seriously again, I felt a bit confused.

I mean, we did date for a while, so it’s not like I don’t find her attractive.

Honestly, I’m just as confused as anyone.

It’s true; I felt betrayed and deeply hurt. When we first met again, I was filled with anger.

But now, I can see that Kurebayashi-san genuinely regrets it, and I don’t exactly hate her attention at this point.

Maybe I’m just being indecisive. It’s all about which way the scales tip.

I don’t want to get back together while fearing another betrayal, but I also don’t want to hold a grudge forever.

So, staying ‘friends’ feels the easiest.

With these half-hearted feelings…

“Even if it’s not my place to say it, if you plan to reject her, do it clearly.”

“…”

I knew that deep down, but hearing it from Kenzaki-san made it clear.

I guess I’m just avoiding the issue.

“Damn it. If you're not planning to move in together, then mind if I borrow Mii for tonight?”

“Huh?”

“I’m going to settle things with her first.”

I got a pretty good idea of what Kenzaki-san was planning. It might be too soon after their reconciliation, but I admired her decisiveness.

“If Kurebayashi-san agrees, it’s none of my business.”

“Alright.”

“Kenzaki-san, you're so cool.”

I meant that sincerely.

Well, if tonight means drawing Kurebayashi-san into a world of lesbian sensuality, I’ll leave that unspoken.

This series left on hiatus since April 2024 with no updates since. The author is currently focused on other projects and hasn’t been able to write this series consistently.

I think the author might return and resume updating the series again next year once they either get bored with their current projects or finish them.

For now, though, that’s the end of this series.
