Chapter 28: Do You Want to be Humiliated Too?

Reading Settings

“!? Yuuta…-kun…”

She didn’t expect me to show up here.

Kurebayashi-san looks at me in surprise.

“Huh? Who’s this? What the?!”

Even though Kurebayashi-san noticed me first, Okutsu’s delayed realization makes his face look absolutely ridiculous. Good for you, Okutsu, for finally growing up. Turning from a mere philanderer to a full-blown fool. That’s progress, right?

“Hey Ando—no, Okutsu. Sorry to interrupt your cozy time, but long time no see. Is the only thing still full of life your dick?”

“W-What the hell are you doing here, Uemura?”

“Huh? Didn’t Mitsuhide tell you?”

People around us start watching from a distance, but I don’t care. I have nothing to hide.

Come to think of it, Mitsuhide did mention he’d revealed that Kurebayashi-san was at my university, but he never said he'd outright told Okutsu I was here.

So Mitsuhide must have only told Okutsu about the university by name, not that I was attending. What a misleading way to put it.

“If I knew you were here, I wouldn’t have come to this place.”

“Yeah, right. You would've come anyway. What? The curse was lifted after high school graduation. It must have been, right? That’s why you rushed to Kurebayashi-san, thinking she’d let you get lucky as a reward, didn’t you?”

“…”

There, he’s silent. He can’t think of a retort, can he? You’re young, so why not just go for it instead of relying on some supposed technique?

But seriously, are you not even arguing about the curse? Unreal.

Well, whatever.

You can only bluff while your opponent’s still shaken. By now, it's too late for that.

“What was the plan, Okutsu? Kidnap Kurebayashi-san and reenact your middle school music room escapades. I couldn’t forget the thrill of climaxing under Bach and Beethoven’s watchful eyes.”

“What?! How do you know about that?”

“Like I wouldn’t notice. You were louder than Kurebayashi-san, remember? Even with soundproofing, your shouts of ‘deeper’ and ‘all the way in’ echoed like a porn star. Too much adult video watching.”

“Y-You…”

Back then, it was painful and frustrating, filled with nothing but hatred for the world and these guys. Now, it's just a dirty joke. Time really changes things.

Repeatedly showing insincerity will make you end up like them.

…Sincerity, huh?

“Okutsu. You haven’t reflected on your actions at all, have you? You haven’t considered the feelings of the people you betrayed, have you? Words from someone lacking sincerity can only be trusted by someone blinded by love.”

“I don’t know about sincerity, but I do want to apologize to Mii!”

“Thinking about it is as easy as ejaculating without stimulation. If you really want to apologize to Kurebayashi-san, you should start by groveling until you collapse from exhaustion. That’s the starting line.”

“T-That’s unreasonable!”

“If you think it’s unreasonable, it shows you lack both sincerity and resolve. Even if you’re forgiven, it won’t end there. You’ll have to spend a long time rebuilding trust before you can even be heard.”

“Ugh, but Mii and I are childhood friends!”

“So what? Do you think being childhood friends will make her forget your betrayal? Do you still believe Kurebayashi-san has feelings for you?”

“That can’t be…”

As our pointless argument drags on,

“…That’s right. I don’t have any feelings for you, Okutsu-kun. The only person I love now is Yuuta-kun. He’s the only one in this world I care about.”

“…What?”

Kurebayashi-san jumps in, stunning Okutsu. This isn't the kind of threesome anyone wants.

But Kurebayashi-san, without my consent, clings to my left arm and starts talking rapidly.

“Being betrayed by you, Okutsu-kun, hurt me deeply. It made me understand Yuuta-kun’s pain. I’m just a foolish girl, but I've only felt regret towards Yuuta-kun. I haven’t spent a day without thinking of him.”

“Mii, what are you saying…?”

“Like someone in love, I’ve always thought about Yuuta-kun. And now I realize I have no feelings left for you, Okutsu-kun. The only one in my heart is Yuuta-kun!”

“….”

Um, Kurebayashi-san? What are you rambling about?

No, I mean, you sound completely out of it. Can you condense that into three sentences for clarity?

Yet somehow, Okutsu’s face turns pale.

Did he understand something I didn’t? Feeling like my comprehension is lower than Okutsu’s is incredibly humiliating.

“T-That’s ridiculous… Mii, please, don't let a momentary lapse pass.”

“The biggest lapse was being swayed by you, Okutsu-kun. Believing that being childhood friends made our relationship special. But I won’t make that mistake again.”

“L-Lies! Tell me it’s a lie, Mii! We were so close…!”

“That’s enough! You… you nine-centimeter man!”

“Ugh!!”

Hey, Kurebayashi-san. We were keeping our voices relatively low, so why shout that part?

Look, now everyone's staring. I want to make it clear to the crowd that nine centimeters isn't my size.

Well, it's still better than the four centimeters between Grass-chan and Spe-chan in the Arima, or the seven centimeters between Shaka and Flight in the Derby. Stay strong, Okutsu.

…….. Can nine centimeters even reach the back?

……..No, to begin with, is it even possible to have that size?

As I ponder this trivial thought, Okutsu collapses to his knees, and I spot a large car pulling up in front of the university gate.

──Oh, a woman is getting out.
