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 61

“Hey Hayate-kun, I’ve been late.”

“Huh?”

Sumire said this with a slightly complicated expression, rubbing her stomach area after we had finished eating dinner.

“It might be… possible.”

“Uh, um, really, Sumire?”

“I haven’t gone to the hospital yet, and I’m only a few days late, so I don’t know. But if it’s true, I’d be happy.”

Watching Sumire’s cheeks faintly redden as her face softened, I couldn’t stop sweating.

I knew.

I knew, but I never seriously considered that such a day would come.

Driven by Sumire, we had been indulging in pleasure every day.

Of course, I had said many times that we should be careful, but every time, she’d ask, ‘Do you hate me?’ And faced with such a question, I couldn’t refuse.

But as a result, if it really happens…

I’ll have to quit high school.

What will I say to my parents?

What about work? Is there even a decent job out there?

Where will we live?

What should we do from now on?

“Hey, Hayate-kun, you don’t like it?”

“Ah, no, it’s not that, but—”

“You look troubled. Was your desire to be with me a lie, after all?”

“It’s not that. But, I wonder if everything will be okay…”

“What do you mean?”

“Money, and, well, the future.”

“We don’t have to be rich, and it’s fine even if we’re poor. If you don’t want to make it hard for the child, I’ll work too. Is that still not good?”

“……”

Hearing that, I also had my own thoughts.

Maybe I’m the only one who’s not prepared.

Sumire has long been ready to be with me.

“…Sumire, if we do have a child, I’ll work properly.”

It’s my responsibility.

Moreover, my feelings of wanting to be with Sumire are not a lie.

“Really? Then, make sure you’re committed.”

“O-Of course. I’ll do my best.”

“Hehe, I’m happy. Then, let’s celebrate the step forward today. Go take a bath first.”

“What about Sumire?”

“I’m preparing tomorrow’s breakfast.”

“Alright.”

I head straight to the bath.

Sumire was busy searching for something in the kitchen.

She truly loves cooking and takes good care of me.

Yeah, I’ll cherish her no matter what.

The scar on my arm from our previous fight throbs.

Yeah, I was the one at fault for making Sumire so angry that time.

Sumire is kind, after all.

♡

“…I’ll forgive you just for today.”

If he had answered that he’d be with me no matter what, that would have been perfect.

But saying ‘if we do have a child’ means it’s okay not to marry if we don’t.

That won’t do.

I tried testing him, but as I thought, Hayate-kun wasn’t completely enthralled by me yet.

I want to drown him until he’s submerged.

And while kissing your lifeless body that floats up, I want us to sink together——

All the way to the bottom of the sea.

Catch up to these feelings of mine soon.

Well, for now, let’s talk a lot after you get out of the bath.

I hurt you quite a bit last time.

Today, it’ll be okay.

“I’ll make your nails pretty for you.”
