My Classmate Whom I Helped Seems to Be Mentally Sick, So I've Been Trying My Best to Hide My True Identity, But It Seems Like I've Been Found Out - Chapter 33

I Feel Like I’m Going Crazy

“Haa, haa…”

Right now, I’m panting heavily as I walk alone on the nighttime street.

It’s not like I’m running back home.

But my breathing is heavy.

I know the reason.

It’s Sumire Murasaki.

The bewitching figure she showed me…

I’m excited by her alluring demeanor.

“…But, why did she let me go?”

After I drank the drink, she drank it too.

As she made an “ah” sound with her lips, as if she was about to devour me right then and there, I braced myself, or rather, expected that she would push me down.

But she…

“Hey, it’s late today, do you want to go home?”

That’s what she asked.

And I, coming to my senses at the word “go home,” stammered,

“Y-yes, I’ll go.”

Then, she easily let me leave.

After being thrust out onto the nighttime streets and feeling stunned, I’m panting as I recall that situation.

“…Could it be, she hasn’t figured out my real identity yet?”

She may suspect that I was the person inside Momo-nyan that day, but without confirmation, she wouldn’t do anything more.

Thinking that way makes sense.

…So, the real problem still lies with Saki Mifune.

She claimed to know my true identity, whether she was telling the truth or not.

If she spills that to Sumire Murasaki, all my efforts up until now would be wasted.

To be honest, it would have been better if Mifune-san just took her leave then and there, but of course, things aren’t that convenient.

Starting tomorrow, I will be filled with anxiety again.

But well, there’s still hope.

Sumire Murasaki doesn’t have definite proof yet.

All I need to do now is destroy any evidence.

I mustn’t be swayed by her allure…

Stay strong, me.

“The scent mixed with Takizawa-kun and mine… huff.”

I keep licking the pet bottle he drank from earlier.

In this room where he was, while feeling his lingering scent.

“And this scent… hmm, it’s definitely the same.”

The costume of Momo-nyan from that day.

I have it at my place.

I got it from someone at the managing company.

It took some effort, but I’m glad I got it.

“…hehe, it’s Takizawa-kun’s scent.”

There’s no mistake.

The one who wore this was Hayate Takizawa.

In my mind, there’s no doubt about that fact.

But…

“I still want you to confess to me.”

It was you who saved me that day, and the reason was because you liked me.

I know he’s just too shy and embarrassed to say it.

However, I am, after all, thinking about you too.

Bit by bit, I’m closing the distance between us.

Making it easier for you to confess, can you see that?

You get it, right?

I bet you’re feeling nervous on your way home, aren’t you?

“——Takizawa-kun. Make sure to express your feelings by tomorrow.”
