My Childhood Friend Attacked Me When I Declared That Her Birthday Present Was 'Me' - Chapter 7

Selfishness and Classmates

“Well, now that you’ve done it, you can’t go back to how things were before.”

“Yatta!”

“I didn’t do anything.”

“Yatta-Yatta!”

” …….. “

Japanese can be difficult, huh? Can someone please give me the authority to slap that idiot? It’s annoying to see Kaori’s face, that happy fool.

“There’s no such thing as friendship between men and women.”

“That’s right! That’s right!”

“Men and women need to get more intimate!”

” Exactly! Truee!”

Is it okay if I slap Kaori, who always responds to my mother’s words?

“For now, let’s wait and observe the situation.”

“What do you mean by ‘observe’?”

“Huh? If a life is conceived in Kaori-chan’s belly, you can’t escape anymore.”

“Wait a minute. Isn’t that phrasing a bit weird?”

“What’s weird about it?”

“Well, um…”

“She’s going to be a 17-year-old mom, okay? And you’ll be a 17-year-old dad.”

“… But we still can’t get married.”

(TN: For marriage in Japan, they must be 18 years of age or older.)

“If we wait a bit, we can.”

“And I don’t have any money.”

“We’ll take care of it.”

“Me too, Kouta-kun.”

“Come on… we’re still kids…”

“I won’t tolerate infidelity. Five times of s*x for every instance of cheating, okay?”

” …….. “

Everyone is deadly serious, and they won’t give me an escape route.

All my excuses is quickly answered.

Though in the end, it’s just their own desires.

“Why do you want us to get married so badly?”

“Because I want to see Kaori in her wedding dress.”

“I want to see my grandchild.”

“Because there’s no one else like Kaori-chan, a good person who likes you, right? You know how the saying goes [The fish that got away become big.]”

(TN: 逃がした魚は大きい, something or someone that has been lost, or slipped away often seems more important, or significant in hindsight.  )

“I want to have s*x every night!”

Apart from my mother, everyone is soaked in selfishness.

And the last one is just a monkey driven by s*xual desire.

“Am I not popular?”

“It’s not about being popular. There’s only Kaori-chan for you from the start.”

“What kind of reasoning is that? Isn’t that nonsense?”

“Because it’s definitely the case even at school.”

“What do you mean by ‘the case’?”

“People already think you’re a couple, so it’s not about being popular or not. They just won’t make a move on you. You don’t touch what belongs to others, right? Well, there’s also the possibility of being stolen (Netorare), but…”

“Stop it. I don’t want to hear the word ‘stolen’ from my mother.”

It’s not a word that should come out of a mother’s mouth.

“Oh! Let me show you the evidence then! Kaori-chan!”

“Understood, Mother-in-law!”

Why are you saluting…

“Is there a class group LINE?”

“Yes, there is!”

“Then let’s confess that you finally did it! Make them guess who you did it with on LINE!”

“Roger!”

“Don’t say ‘Roger.’ Stop that…!”

“I sent it!”

“So fast?”

That’s the speed of sound.

“It’s been read!”

Wow… They read it immediately… 10, 20, 30… Are they all free?

And the responses are…?

“It’s Kouta-kun, right?”

“Kouta.”

“Kouta-san.”

“Kouta-kun.”

“There’s only Kouta-kun, right?”

“Kouta. Who else is there?”

“Kouta. What? Can you be more obvious?”

Kouta, Kouta, Kouta, Kouta, Kouta, Kouta, Kouta, Kouta, Kouta, Kouta…

Tomorrow, first thing in the morning, I’ll slap all of my classmates.
