The Unattainable Flower Called The Ice Queen of the School Reika Himuro Is My Pet - Chapter 3

The Confession Event

◆

It was after school. I thought today, like other days, was peaceful.

Except for my mental state, nothing particularly good or bad happened.

I finished my classes, so all that was left was to go home, eat dinner, take a bath, laze around, and then go to sleep.

That’s what I believed.

However, there seems to be an event after school for me today.

An event I’ve never experienced in my life.

It’s a confession event.

While I’ve confessed (and faced a disastrous outcome) before, I’ve never been confessed to.

So even though I’m a bit down from my recent rejection, it’s only natural that this slightly piques my excitement.

“But, what should I do…”

I’m honestly happy that someone like me would be confessed to, but the real issue is how to turn them down.

To be blunt, I can’t imagine being in a relationship with anyone who confesses to me right now.

I think I should only date someone I truly like.

If I shared these thoughts with my childhood friend and best bud, Tojo, he might say, “That’s such a childish perspective. If you’re not dating anyone and you don’t have any romantic feelings for someone else, isn’t it okay to start dating first and then fall in love?”

I am the victim of that kind of thinking…

——I can’t do the same thing that Asahina did to me.

Then my imaginary version of Tojo retorts, “Calm down, you’re not that popular.”

I want him to exit my fantasies.

Since this confession event actually happened, I want to believe my imaginary version of Tojo was wrong about me.

With these thoughts in mind, I told Tojo that I had something to attend to and couldn’t walk home with him.

Then I hurriedly made my way to the back of the school building.

Regarding this confession event, when I returned to the classroom after cleaning time was over, there was a cute, light pink envelope on my desk.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, none of my classmates had noticed it yet.

The moment I saw that envelope, I stashed it in my pocket at the speed of light.

And after making up a reason to part ways with Tojo after school, I opened the lovely pink envelope in the restroom.

Inside, it was read,

『I like Inukai-san as a member of the opposite sex. I’ll be waiting for you at the back of the school building after school.』

It’s unmistakably a love letter.

Ah, my heart races more and more as I approach the back of the school building.

Still, I press on toward it without running away.

Despite the fact that the person waiting for me is surely more nervous than I am, running away just because I can’t handle this tension would be far too cruel.
