The Unattainable Flower Called The Ice Queen of the School Reika Himuro Is My Pet - Chapter 52

Feeling a Strong Sense of Fear

“No, seriously, that would make me feel guilty.”

“Ah, how thoughtful of Master. Then, as a pet who can do what’s asked, I’ll think of a list of the top hundred dishes I want to eat made by Master’s hand and bring it to you by tomorrow.”

“No, you don’t have to go that far…”

And so, we ended our lunch break with such light-hearted conversations, occasionally feeding each other.

Ever since Yuya confessed to me, I had been waiting for him to confess again.

The reason was simple: to make sure Yuya’s feelings were genuine.

Yuya has surprisingly high popularity among girls, many of whom secretly have their eyes on him.

Since he often teased me, his childhood friend, I thought this confession might be just another prank from him.

That’s why I lied about having a boyfriend and turned down Yuya’s confession.

I believed that if Yuya’s feelings were true, he would keep confessing to me until we could be together, even if I rejected him or had a boyfriend.

The day after I rejected him, it was immediately obvious that Yuya was depressed from the shock.

I was secretly happy.

Yuya looking like that meant he really liked me, and while I was happy to know this, I also didn’t want to see someone I liked get hurt.

These conflicting emotions swirled inside me, filling me with indescribable feelings.

However, feeling too guilty to continue, I decided the next time Yuya confessed, I would accept, revealing that my earlier rejection and the boyfriend were all lies to test him.

I never had a boyfriend, and I had liked Yuya since we were kids.

But, despite waiting, Yuya never confessed again.

Instead, he seemed to move on from being rejected by me.

His sadness faded, and watching him, I felt like I was becoming a thing of the past.

I felt a chilling sense of fear.

I couldn’t stand the thought of becoming just a memory to Yuya.

Absolutely not.

However, in contrast to my growing anxiety, I realized that Yuya had started avoiding me.

I realize now since the day I rejected him, we hadn’t once hung out together, nor had we walked to and from school together.
