22. Virginity and virginity.
22. Pity, and virgin.
Senior Mori Akari said.
“First of all, I’d like to say thank you. Whatever the result, it’s because I tried to make confession and lessen the suffering.”
“Ah..Yes, what…”
At her words of thanks, I, who had other intentions, felt a little guilty.
“Confession..? What are you talking about?”
Iinazuke, who hadn’t been informed of the situation beforehand, asked in a puzzled way.
“That’s true…”
I gave her a brief summary of her story I told her senior earlier.
“…Okay, Shujinko-kun. Shujinkoo-kun is very considerate of other women!”
Where did her cold attitude go? She smiles and speaks in a fresh voice.
“…”
What is this, why is he like this again?
I ignored Nazuke Ii and told her senior.
“Anyway, so thank you, but I suffered because of the rumors you spread, and I’m going to suffer again, right? So, I want you to listen to my one request.”
“Please?”
“Yes, will you listen?”
“…What kind of request?”
“Promise me you’ll listen first.”
Looking at him trying to get a promise like that, it’s obvious that this is an unreasonable request.
“Please listen first, then let me think.”
So, of course, you should listen and decide.
After thinking about my words for a while, she nodded her head and opened her mouth.
And from her mouth, a request I could never have imagined flowed out.
“One month. Pretend to be my lover for one month.”
“Yes?”
“No!”
Iinazuke and I answered almost simultaneously.
What are you?
After glancing at him for a while, I asked the senior.
“Pretend to be a lover? Am I?”
“Yes, if I go out with you even for a short while, the other kids will know that the rumor that I like a normal girl is just a rumor. You know, your looks are far from normal, right?”
“…Then why don’t you use another good-looking guy? If you go out with a senior even fakely, there will be many kids who will like it. Why would you bother me…”
“That’s why. Looking into a person’s eyes, I can tell right away if this person is interested in me as the opposite s*x, even if it’s just a little bit.
But when I looked closely at your face earlier, strangely, I didn’t feel any crush on you at all? That’s why I chose it.
Even if it’s a fake relationship, someday the time will come to break up with that child, and when I ask that child to break up, I’m afraid that child whose heart has grown in the meantime will be very sad. I’m afraid of that.”
“Ah…”
She seemed to know now why her senior accepted Toyoda’s false confession in the original work.
Not only was it a false confession in the first place, but who is the main character?
Until he went to another world and created a harem, despite the fact that numerous beautiful girls openly approached him, he didn’t go out with anyone, he was a eunuch new… Do you think he was cursing Toyoda? Isn’t this
Unlike normal men, who would have liked her immediately upon seeing her, even if he had made her falsely confess, the main character could not have liked her even to the slightest degree. That’s why she would have picked him.
Come to think of it, one of them is a contemplative, and the other seems to like him just by looking at his eyes… What kind of bullsh*t is this?
Well, I think this one is real.
“No!”
I haven’t said anything yet, but Inazuke objected.
“Huh? Why? They said they weren’t even dating.”
“That, that’s… Haiseki is virginity and motherhood solo! Isn’t it kind of a lie to lie about your once-in-a-lifetime first love?”
She raises her voice inside her fast food restaurant full of people.
Hey, shut up, please… People are listening…
That damn sympathy… Who in the hell is using words like that in case someone said the original wasn’t a mass production anime?
“Ha…”
I let out a sigh at the glances around me that were rushing towards me for an instant.
But that’s only for a while. The senior who hesitated for a moment to answer Ii Nazuke’s words replied with her face blushing, and I couldn’t help but despair once more.
“…It’s okay, I’m also a single mother? Besides… I’m a virgin.”
Ha… Yes, virgin, virgin… This is a commercial anime. Okay. What common sense would I expect.
“Eh?”
Iinazuke froze at the unexpected answer.
“I’ve never had a boyfriend yet…”
“That’s a lie!”
“Seriously, and since there are a lot of people here, it’s embarrassing, so why don’t you talk a little bit less?”
…Is such a nobleman a virgin while everyone else is watching?
“But…But…”
In the meantime, when her assertiveness is blocked by an unexpected counterattack from her senior, Nazuke Ii mutters something else but can’t think of any other reason.
Seeing her like that, her Mori Akari-senpai looked at me again and said seriously.
“Shujinkou-kun. Could you please listen to my request?”
Ah, what should I do, what should I do… Refuse? Is it right to refuse? Wouldn’t it be found as a mutilated body? Refuse! Refuse!
“I’m sorry…”
“Shujinko-kun, please… I don’t want to hurt the other children anymore…”
At the words of her crying sorrowfully, which continued before my words were finished.
I couldn’t bear to refuse her request any longer.
“Ha… Senior. Now many people know that it’s not true, so it’s gotten a lot better, but there are still rumors that I’m a bully who hangs around with this woman and that woman. Now, will it be okay?”
“Oh, yes! It’s okay! I heard it wasn’t true? Then that’s it!”
…Now that it’s like this, there’s nothing you can do about it.
“Ha… 2 Weeks. I’ll do that for just 2 weeks. How is it?”
“Thank you! Shujinkoo-kun! No, Haiseki-kun! Would you like more hamburgers?
“No. It’s okay, hahahaha…”
“Haiseki-kun… You won’t refuse?”
She calls me by my first name and not her last name for some reason.
“I just need to close my eyes and help for two weeks, well. It happened because of me in the first place.”
“……Yes.”
Why are you like that again? Awfully…
For some reason, Iinazuke’s expression darkened to the point of fright, but he had already made a promise. She decided not to be soft.
Two weeks from that day, I started a fake love affair with her.

The next morning.
Beep- Beep- Beep-
Tak-
An alarm sound I haven’t heard in a long time.
This means that today, unlike usual, I woke up at the target wake-up time of 7:00. Looks like Inazuke didn’t wake me up today.
It’s nice… But why are you nervous?
With her anxious mind, she left her room and cautiously went to the kitchen. Unlike usual, Ii Nazuke was not there, instead the breakfast she had prepared was set on her table.
And a piece of paper lying next to it. It seemed like something was written on it, so I went closer and read it carefully.
‘I heard you’re going to school with your girlfriend today? You two have a good time~ I’ll go first! He said he would stay with his beloved girlfriend, wouldn’t it be a nuisance if I were there?
Oh, why is he like this…
I don’t know if you like me. But it’s not like that, but it’s like this, the guy who had a boyfriend.
I put the note she left behind into her trash can and started preparing her for school.
***
After I finished preparing, it was nearly time for my appointment, so I went out of the house and waited for my senior.
After waiting for a while, Mori Akari-senpai starts to appear in the distance.
And as she got closer to me, her head went lower and lower, and by the time she arrived in front of me, she was staring at the ground.
“Oh, hello…”
“Yes, hello.”
Despite her fake romance, she seems to be very nervous.
“Um… Senior?”
“…Uh, uh?”
“You don’t have to be nervous. It’s fake anyway, so don’t you just pretend like that in front of others?”
“That, that, that…?”
“…”
A silence began to flow between the two.
How can I relieve that tension… It’s a little uncomfortable to live like this for the next two weeks…
“Big! Do you usually go to school by now?”
“Uh…”
“Um… Shall we have lunch together?”
“Ah… That, yes…”
“Before”
“Me!”
“?”
“Because I-I brought a lunch box with hi… Seki-kun…”
Oh, even mine? There is a lunch box that Ianazuke packed for me, but… I guess we can eat it together.
“Thank you, senpai.”
“Uh, yes…”
“What side dishes did you put in your lunch box?”
“Just this and that…”
“Ah, yes…”
…Where did the person who pushed me hard yesterday go…
“Keuheum! You said before that we would have a separate dismissal from school, right?”
“Uh, uh… That’s right”
Even after that, I tried to break her awkward silence with her and asked her various questions and responses.
She just stared at her land with her blushing face nervous, only giving short answers.
And then the silence begins to flow again.
Come to think of it, it was like this in the original…
According to the information Kurutta gave me before, she is said to be a senior with good social skills. It seems that the real mother-in-law was right, this one too.
There was a reason she could guess why she insisted on going to school with her but leaving her separately.
First of all, there will be that she wants to keep me from finding out that she is a rich lady, and then when we turn around and go to our house, the old dog she has been raising recently is losing her energy fast, and she wants to get home as early as possible. There would be a point.
Perhaps not long after, the old dog she has raised since childhood, even though she has become her grandfather, she still calls Koinu (Dog)-chan. She will pass away
And the day the old dog left. It can be said that the ‘puppy incident’ is when the main character comforts her while she is sad.
As far as I remember, that scene was probably…
***
The time everyone left after school.
It was quiet inside the academy without a single person.
She was the only one left, sitting on the stairs illuminated by the evening sunset, sobbing and crying.
