Episode 66 – I Believe You
Yesterday, my agony calmed down when I kissed Iori, but today I am in agony for a different reason.
It’s because I remembered the kiss with Korori before I went to bed. I’ve been so excited that I haven’t been able to sleep all night.
Well, that’s not the only reason why I couldn’t sleep.
Saying things like [Bear with this for today,]. I feel like I’m going to explode just thinking about it.
Just talking to Iori makes me feel strangely nervous. I get excited. I wonder what a grown up man would do at times like this.
It’s not that I only saw Iori that way, but I kinda see her that way.
I wonder if this state is called emotionally unstable.
I want to stabilize quickly for Iori’s sake.
ā€œIori, can I come to your place today?ā€
ā€œSure, but …… all of a sudden?ā€
ā€œHonestly…..ā€
I told Iori that Aika was coming to my house. The first reason is that [I want to flirt with Iori.] but since it happened yesterday, I felt like I was getting ahead of myself, so I used Aika’s arrival as a pretext.
ā€œHey, Naru……if that’s the reason, wouldn’t it be better if you stay?ā€
A surprising answer came from Iori.
ā€œI think Aika still likes Naru.ā€
ā€œEh?ā€
Iori had said the same thing before.
But it was Aika who first broke up with me because she found another man she liked.
ā€œWell, since she’s coming to visit Rin chan, I doubt that it’s going to be that kind of story…..but isn’t that why she didn’t tell you, Naru ,her ex-boyfriend that she was coming?ā€
It’s only applied to Rin…or so I thought, but she also had a different attitude towards me…maybe not.
ā€œIf Aika san wasn’t your childhood friend, if she wasn’t Rin chan’s best friend, I might have said no…..but it’s better to make it clear, Naru.ā€
There are certainly things that are bothering me.
When Iori first came to the classroom.
Her profound request.
The night after my date.
But I tried not to think much about Aika.
ā€œIori, about Aika, I’m no longer….ā€
ā€œOf course, because you’re my boyfriend.ā€
ā€œIori….ā€
ā€œI believe you.ā€
I was so nervous. And then she continued to whisper in my ear.
ā€œI want to continued it……so come home properly.ā€
I felt as if my mind was suddenly cleared.
The frustration I was feeling was gone.
Whether there is something going on or not, It’s certain that I felt uncomfortable.
I was also pushed by Iori.
Thank you, Iori.
