[LN] Boku ni Kyōmi o Nakushita Moto Kano - Volume 1 - Chapter 1 - Part 2

 

Chapter 1 - Incompatibility (Part 2)

Looking back from the perspective of the love simulation games I've played so far.

In this type of game, the protagonist and heroine engage in various events and collect flags to develop into a couple.

I want you to think about this. The heroine, who has never even had a conversation with the protagonist, let alone completed an event, falls in love with the protagonist. How is that possible?

At least, I don't remember anything like that in my memory after playing a lot of games like this.

To be honest, I don't understand why Natsukawa-san gave such a colorful answer.

I must assure you here that Natsukawa-san and I have known each other since high school.

As for the girl I promised to marry when I was a kid, I don't have such a colorful past at all. I swear this is true. Except that I got fat for a week.

So, was I seen saving a puppy that was washed into the river?

No, I'm not a drowning person either. I was saved from drowning once by a big dog. There's no room for that.

Since I could not guess, I had to confirm Natsukawa's true intentions, so I asked her why she accepted her confession.

"I'll explain it simply. It's to keep the men away."

"That's right!"

That's why Natsukawa didn't reject my confession.

She wanted to reduce the attention of the opposite sex by creating a fake boyfriend.

A fake relationship from the beginning. I finally came to a point.

But even if that was the reason, there were still secrets. One of them is what I don't understand.

"Um, ...... why me?"

"Because you..... aren't interested in me, right? No, no. I don't hate you, but I don't expect any progress either. You don't have the slightest desire to get closer to me. I can see it in your eyes. A men who is determined to win me over has a flash of desire in his eyes. But you are different. What's behind your eyes is indifference to the point of resignation."

"Let's see. Does that mean I've been labeled harmless?"

That's what I meant in layman's terms. "That's what I meant. I don't mind if it's with a boy who understands quickly."

Natsukawa-san smiled.

It was exciting and soul-stirring to see her.

That's how I started dating her, and for the past three months it's been a real challenge.

First, the children's jealousy and desire to kill me. It felt terrible.

Despite our best efforts to avoid bullying, there was still blatant harassment.

But the most difficult thing was to make sure that my relationship with Natsukawa-san was not exposed as a fake relationship.

After all, the goal is to reduce the number of men who approach her. It's no use if they can see that we're just pretending.

That's why Natsukawa's meticulous preparations were so amazing to me.

We called each other by our first names and walked to and from school together as if we were showing off for everyone around us.

I had spent three months of very pleasant time, but it seemed as if it had come to an end.

This was because Natsukawa, who had played the role of a (fake) lover on the level of an actress, had begun to harden.

For example, it was my job to ask Natsukawa for a date.

"I'm looking forward to it, Shota-kun."

How sweet her voice and smile were when she turned to me. But today.

"Why am I ...... with Komori-kun? Why do I have to go with Komori-kun? I refuse."

I didn't expect to be called by that name. And she was so cold to me.

What? ....eeeeeeh! That's impossible, no matter how much you want to say it!

It was Natsukawa who told me to talk to her in public to make them think we're lovers! It'll have the opposite effect on us!

My fears came true.

All the efforts we'd made to convince Shizuku that Natsukawa had a boyfriend were in vain.

The rumor that her attitude towards me had hardened spread quickly, and our relationship was almost over.

Of course, the number of men who approached Natsukawa-san multiplied again. In the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal - or rather, stronger than it had been three months earlier.

This was probably due to the effect of the idea that Natsukawa, who might be heartbroken, would be a good opportunity for them.

To be honest, it would be a lie if I said that I didn't regret the end of that fake relationship.

But what could I do? Just being able to play lovers with Natsukawa-san is more than enough for me.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I've been using happiness all my life.

So it's time for me to sort out my feelings.

Because I saw Natsukawa-san leaving with a man.

And a guy who looks like a model, which is incomparable to me.

Even from a distance, I have to admit that they are an ideal couple, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

That's why I decided to withdraw from Natsukawa-san.

I didn't want to be the guy who was obsessed with her forever just because I had fun with her. Even from the beginning, we didn't really become lovers.

But at that time, I didn't know the reason for Natsukawa-san's change in attitude.

I didn't expect her to... ....
