The day after the day I wished how much better it would be if it were a nightmare.
The TV and Internet were full of news that two people, a man and a woman, had been seriously injured. The whereabouts of the culprit is still unknown, and the investigation is said to be ongoing. If this had been in a prefecture I didnât live in, or in a city far away, I would have just let it slide with a hmmm.
But the news reportedly took place in Maiâs neighborhood. They were both apparently stabbed on the back street of Maiâs house. That means, the returned blood from Karen I saw that time wasâŠ
ăâŠLetâs get ready for it.ă
Frankly, I donât want to go to school. They would ask a lot of questions about Mai, and the fact that they were at home together is more than enough to suggest that they were having an affair. Iâm sure Iâll be looked at with pity by my peers.
Still, I have to talk to Karen. I need to know the truth and discuss the future with Karen⊠Iâm just going to keep dragging things out.
So I managed to muster up the energy to go to school, and I did. As expected, I, the boyfriend and friend of the two who were involved in the incident yesterday, was looked at with curiosity by many people, and I was approached by people who normally would not talk to me. I wanted to get to Karen as soon as possible, but at this rate I might even get Karen in trouble after school.
So it wasnât until after school that I finally got to meet her.
ăYou were very popular, Senpai.ă
When I went to the club room, I found Karen continuing to write as usual. I couldnât understand the calmness of the situation, as if nothing that happened yesterday had ever happened to Karen.
ăâŠWhy, are you really that calm?ă
ăIs it because I was able to help my Senpai?ă
ăâŠThen, as I thought.ă
ăYes. I had to give those two a little spanking myself.ă
Karen answered in a matter-of-fact manner. Why do you talk about hurting people in such a normal way, no matter how much itâs for me, that thing isâŠ
ăâŠReally, Iâm sorry. Itâs my fault⊠Iâm sorry I got Karenâs hands dirty.ă
ăThere is nothing for Senpai to worry about. Those two just got what they deserved.ă
ăâŠă
It is not inherently acceptable for people to hurt others. It is the act of a sinner to do such a thing because of personal feelings.
Will Karen be caught by the police from now on? Thatâs right, thereâs no way she could not be arrested for seriously injuring two people. But then I wouldnât even be able to be with my trusted and valued kouhai, KarenâŠ
Because I made her commit a sin. I made her do things that Karen didnât have to do. That regret hits me and I canât stop shaking. But apparently I wasnât strong enough to take it. Iâm really pathetic, I let my kouhai do this to meâŠ
ăSenpai.ă
ăâŠKâKaren?ă
Squeezing me, Karen hugs me as if wrapping me in her arms.
ăI, I only did it because I could not forgive those two. Senpai did nothing wrong, they arenât the victims, Senpai is. So donât beat yourself up.ă
While gently hugging me, Karen whispers into my ear. Her words seep into my heart and I start to cry again. I was really happy to hear her say so, and even though I was the one who had to pull her along as a Senpai, I was now taking advantage of her kindness to the fullest.
ăâŠKaren.ă
When I finished crying and looked at Karenâs face again, my heart thumped. Besides, I was embarrassed to make eye contact with Karen, whom I had been able to see as a normal kouhai.
Soon I understood. I said that Karen is no longer just a cute kouhai for me.
ăSenpai, I will always love my Senpai, I will never betray you like that scum. Thatâs whyâŠă
Did Karen sense this sentiment? Or did I think that I should now bump up the goodwill that she originally had for me? In shame, Karen confessed her feelings to me.
ăâŠAhh. I will definitely protect Karen from now on.ă
We look at each other and we hug each other.
ăI love you⊠I love you, I love you⊠Senpai⊠Nhn.ă
Instinctively, I couldnât control my overflowing affection and we kiss. We continue to seek each other with our tongues entwined as intensely, if not more intensely, as their kiss, which I saw that time. This kiss was much more pleasurable than the first time I kissed Mai, and I experienced a pleasure that made me want to keep doing it.
Ugh, I donât want to lose anything else. Even if what Karen did is evil in human society, I will definitely protect her.
