Kazama-kun's Lie is Exposed To the Girls - Chapter 86

Chapter 86 – An Overwhelmingly Eventful Day

 

Hmm, what was I talking about with Hirose-san on the phone this morning?

Also—what movie was I watching with Kanna at noon?

Despite these events happening just earlier today, my brain seems to have almost completely forgotten them.

It’s as if my memories have been blown away…

I mean, seriously? Is it normal for people to have such a string of bad luck to occur in their everyday lives?

But it actually happened, so I can only say that it’s possible.

 

I returned home after parting ways with Kanna in the evening, who had been with me since this morning.

That part was just a normal slice of daily life. Nothing strange about it.

By the evening, I had come to terms with the bomb black pants incident from the morning.

Right, there was nothing I could do about it, and thinking about it any further was a waste of time. So I headed straight to the owner’s home with the backpack containing the black pants.

First of all, circumstantial evidence made it clear that it belonged to her.

Moreover, I would have been finished in so many ways if she had done something for me at school in this situation. Rather than letting that happen, I boldly went to return the bomb pants to Saionji Sayaka’s home.

In the first place, I had done nothing wrong. This was nothing but an accident I got caught up in. Also, I was worried whether she had made it home safely.

 

But…

No way-no way. Such an unexpected turn of events…

Right, I was about to have a first-time experience in my life recently.

And because of that near-miss first-time experience, I ended up owning a certain woman’s pair of bomb pants(爆弾パンツ)…

It’s unbelievable, too unbelievable.

Who would have thought I’d run into Otsuka Karen at that moment?

Yes, my classmate and the very Otsuka Karen with whom I had various encounters before the switch.

There’s a saying that misfortunes come in succession, and I painfully realized today just how true that is.

However, it’s also a fact that she saved me…

 

The story is quite long, so I’ll spare you the details, but I might have been facing expulsion from school from a jail cell by now if she hadn’t happened to appear at that place by chance, no joke.

In other words, I owe her big time.

And that debt led to…

 

Yes, in this world, misfortunes may continue, but good fortune doesn’t last as long.

The debt I owe her is too big for me… far too big.

Personally, I would have much preferred if Karen had simply asked for money as a thank-you.

Because honestly, what she asks is impossible.

Impossible, but… after such a police fiasco, it was even more impossible for me to refuse her threat… no, her demand.

But I can’t help but wonder what this is all about. I’m just an ordinary person. On the other hand, while she’s not yet a nationwide sensation, she frequently appears on TV and has the potential to become one in a few years. She’s already a super-charismatic model among high school girls in magazines.

And now, an ordinary guy like me is going to appear in a YouTube video with her?

No, that’s impossible.

Especially since the video we’re about to shoot is one of those trending on social media lately, where high school and college students shoot short dramas depicting various romantic scenes that make your heart race?

Basically, it’s a drama video that recreates the ideal romantic scenes that guys fantasize about, imagining what they want to hear from a woman or the kind of romance they want to experience….

Those videos that make you squirm just by watching them…

Apparently, it’s going to be a video featuring several people from her agency, and one of them is supposed to be me…

Yes, Karen herself asked me to play as her love interest.

Impossible. No matter if it’s a YouTube video, there’s no way I could pull off such an act.

I made that clear to her, but…

『Then it’s all good. Hehe, because you don’t need to act, right? All you need to do is remember your experiences with me』

 

…was all she replied with a quick response.

 

“…”

 

Honestly, at that moment, I felt like she would have had a clever retort no matter what I would have said in response. Besides, I had no right to refuse because I owed her so much…

In the first place, I kept silent because any words I would have spoken today would only end up digging up my grave, but well…

What in the world is really going on with me today?

So much has happened since this morning that I don’t know what’s going on anymore.

Seriously, I don’t understand… I don’t know why I’ve been completely at the mercy of social media lately…

That much seems to be true…

But really, today has been a bit too much since morning… even more than usual…

The fact that it’s a YouTube video featuring Karen means, of course, that the views are…

No, but in the first place, there’s no way the agency would agree to cast someone like me…

That’s what I thought, but the feeling I got when parting ways with Karen…

I have nothing but a bad premonition, nothing but…

 

“…”

 

However, it’s also true that when I finally came clean to her about owning those bomb pants, Karen took them off my hands and agreed to return them to Sayaka…

No, it’s no good.

I really don’t understand…

Seriously

Author’s Note: I doubt anyone remembers me, but long time no see.

TN: It’s crazy that this chapter came out 460 days after the previous chapter. I probably wouldn’t notice that the author started continuing this series again if someone hadn’t put a comment on this novel page.

Not sure a lot of people would still read this and I still have few unfinished series, so the updates on this series will be irregular.

Also, I’ve included a character introduction below. It was actually posted after chapter 46 but I never posted it before.
