What If I Told Tomori-san, The Girl Who's Cold Only Towards Me, That I Knew Her Secret Account? - V1 Chapter 5.4

Girls’ Day Off Talk 4

“Hey, what’s wrong? Your expression is frozen like you’re in rigor mortis.”

“Well… um. You know, I often take on various consultations, right? One of them was about my friend… she has a secret account on social media.”

“Mhm, mhm.”

“On that account, she wrote about her feelings for a guy she’s interested in. And then, that guy’s attitude towards her suddenly became kind…”

“Ah, my condolences.”

Chifuyu dramatically clasped her hands together.

“That person’s account is definitely exposed.”

“!?”

“Maybe that person was pouring out her embarrassing true feelings on her secret account?”

” … “

“Like tweets that sound like a cringey middle schooler saying things like ‘I love him so much I could die!’ or ‘Why can’t I be more honest?!’ “

” … “

“It’s her own fault. But, I’m glad, Azusa. Usually, saying it’s ‘It’s about my friend’—the phrase actually means it’s about the person themselves rather than a friend, but in your case, I feel it’s not like that… uh, are you okay?”

“…why?”

“You look pale. Wait, don’t tell me that what you just said was about you?”

“Ahaha, of course not~!”

I tried my best to deflect while finishing my iced tea.

(…What should I do?)

My heart rate won’t calm down.

If Chifuyu’s right and Kagisaka-kun found my secret account…

He would know all of my true feelings.

“Why didn’t she lock her secret account?”

“Well…”

“I see, got it! [Maybe he’ll find this account and realize my feelings!] She was hoping for that!”

Wrongg!!!

I just decided that he won’t find it anyway, so I didn’t bother setting it to private.

I shouldn’t have suspected what Chifuyu assumed… maybe?

“Hey, what do you think that person should do?”

I asked earnestly.

Despite her appearances, Chifuyu can be relied upon.

Sometimes she unexpectedly solves situations in ways no one would expect—

“Say something like 《You’re watching, aren’t you?!》 on her secret account?” (TN: Jojo, きさま! 見ているなッ!)

“That’s just another line from an anime, isn’t it?”

“Correct! …anyway, back to the topic. It’s true that it’s embarrassing to have her secret account discovered, but for that person, it’s a good chance.”

“A good chance?”

“That guy went out of his way to find and look at the secret account, right? That means he’s definitely interested in that person.”

“E-Eh!?”

“I think that person really likes her.”

“L-Likes…”

Really?

Kagisaka-kun, does he… like me?

“Hey, but it’s not certain that the account has been discovered!”

“If that’s the case, why not just check directly if it’s been discovered?”

“That’s impossible! If she did that, the guy would just brush it off with something like [Huh? Aren’t you being overly self-conscious?] It would be a pointless conclusion!”

“You’re being suspiciously specific with your response… Oh, I have an idea!”

Chifuyu seemed to have another brilliant idea as she stood up with her silver hair flowing.

“Do you remember? The birthday present I gave you last year?”

“Uh…”

Of course I remember.

It was probably meant as a joke, but what my childhood friend gave me was――

*****

” …sigh.”

It was nighttime after taking a bath.

Lying down on my bed in my pajamas, I was looking back at my tweets of this morning.

[Today, I’m going to make a cake with C-chan. I hope it turns out well~.]

Yeah, this one should be okay if it’s seen.

[I wonder if K-kun likes cakes too. I’d like to treat him with a freshly made one.]

…Well, this one might be barely okay if it’s seen…

[If I’m going to treat him, maybe going to K-kun’s place, since he lives alone… Wait. K-kun does live alone, right?]

This… Maybe it’s still okay if it’s seen…

[Going to a boy’s place who lives alone to cook for him… It wouldn’t be strange if he thought I was inviting him to do something, right? But let’s stay calm! Even if I did go, I don’t think that’s what’s going to happen…]

” ….. “

[What should I do?! If I end up going, should I prepare various things? Like cute underwear… No, wait! Maybe I should bring out the special seductive lingerie I have…]

” …Ugh!”

Unable to endure it any longer, I buried my face in my pillow, suppressing my voice, and shouted the following:

What do you mean, ‘But let’s stay calm!’ ?!

Even someone with a garden in their brain wouldn’t tweet something as idealistic and naive as this!

(TN: meant to indicate someone who is “off in their own world” or spacing out, not thinking straight or not thinking at all.)

” I want to die…”

Maybe because I was happy that I had gotten a little closer to Kagisaka-kun, I ended up letting my thoughts run wild.

If my secret account had been discovered, I had no idea how I should face him.
