What If I Told Tomori-san, The Girl Who's Cold Only Towards Me, That I Knew Her Secret Account? - V1 Chapter 7.1

A friend is Something You Should Possess 1

‘A friend is something you should possess.’

Even as a loner at school, I can relate to this phrase.

【Hey, Senpai!】

It’s past 11 p.m.

While I was solving a math problem set in my room, I received a DM from Kouhai-chan.

【Can I talk to you on a call? I have something I want to discuss.】

“Hmm…”

Generally, Kouhai-chan and I don’t communicate through calls.

It’s an important rule for maintaining this friendship.

【Okay.】

【Wow〜, it’s a rare approval from Senpai, who dislikes phone calls! Since we’re at it, how about a video call?】

【That’s a no-no.】

【Aww, I wanted to see Senpai’s face… Well, it’s fine if only my video is on, you can keep your camera off!】

【Well, that’s okay…】

【Yay, it worked!】

Kouhai-chan is overjoyed.

If Kouhai-chan is this delighted, I also want to do a video call, but it’s not possible.

(This call was just a way of saying thank you.)

Right, thanks to Kouhai-chan, I was able to overcome a crisis.

It happened three nights ago while we were chatting about otaku stuff through DM as usual.

【Oh, Senpai, I have an interesting story to tell you! It seems like my childhood friend is running a secret account.】

【Really?】

【Yep, it seems like she poured out her feelings for her crush on that secret account, and suddenly the guy started being kind to her!】

【 What, really?】

【Isn’t it interesting? It’s definitely a case of her secret account being exposed!】

【Well, the twist is probably that it’s not your childhood friend, but you’re talking about yourself.】

【Ahaha nono, my childhood friend often consults with me, so it’s credible.】

【I see. So what happened afterward?】

【I gave her advice!】

Kouhai-chan told me what they did.

To confirm if the guy was actually looking at the secret account, she intentionally uploaded an extreme selfie.

The next day, they would gauge the guy’s reaction to determine if the secret account was being monitored.

Such an outrageous plan…

(Maybe giving a photo of Sakura was going too far…)

There are risks involved in using too much information from her secret account.

Tomori is someone who fully embraces her romantic side on social media, but she also possesses intelligence that allows her to rank high in a prestigious school.

I thought that even with few clues, she would be able to uncover the truth.

【Hey, what happened? I’m waiting for your reply!】

【It’s nothing important.】

While replying, I checked Tomori’s secret account.

However, there were no strange tweets.

(Couldn’t you have done that?)

Or maybe she executed it impulsively but got scared and deleted the tweet…

If that’s the case, I won’t be able to see the selfie photo anymore…

“No, calm down.”

There’s still a possibility that it might be uploaded later.

If that’s the case, I should monitor it throughout the night…

No, I’ll just pretend to be a third party when she uploads the selfie and sends a warning to delete the tweet.

I swear that’s the only reason why I’m monitoring this account…

I definitely don’t want to see my classmate wearing provocative underwear in a one-shot tweet.

*****

That’s what happened three days ago.

In the end, I stayed up all night, but the selfie was never uploaded to the secret account.

(Good. As I expected, she must have changed her mind.)

Feeling a bit disappointed but determined, I resisted sleepiness and went to school on Monday.

However, Tomori’s behavior was strange.

Suddenly, she took off her tights that had a run right in front of me.

Although it was just putting on knee socks, she was oddly observing my reaction.

Then, the moment I saw her become silent at LHR during the SNS seminar, I realized.

This class representative is following the advice and wearing provocative underwear.

(Even though she’s smart enough to be suspicious that she’s being watched on her secret account, I wonder why her thinking gets dull when it comes to her own romantic situation.)

While having such thoughts, I reluctantly decided to help her.

Well, it didn’t end with just that, as various things happened after school…

“If I hadn’t heard the story beforehand, it could have been dangerous.”

When the cutest girl in the class started doing a tights strip, I glanced at it once.

Still, thanks to Kouhai-chan, I didn’t give in to that desire and I managed to suppress Tomori’s suspicion that I was checking her secret account.

【Okay, let’s make a phone call!】

After that DM, I received a call.

I let out a sigh to ease the tension.

Gathering my resolve, I tapped on the smartphone screen, and a voice that sounded completely different from the DM said,

[Long time no see, Senpai.]

It was a meek voice that I couldn’t associate with the person from before.

She was wearing a pure white dress that looked innocent. However, I had a vivid recollection of those gal-like earrings.

Azusa Tomori’s childhood friend.

Kouhai-chan, also known as Kazami Chifuyu, blushed and giggled while swaying her silver hair.

*****

TN: I’m guessing the reason why Kagisaka didn’t respond to Chifuyu in Chapter 3, Part 2 was this.

[

” …….. “

“Hey, I’ve been meaning to ask for a while now. Why do you avoid me? Do you hate me?”

“No, it’s not like that, but-“

“But?”

” …… “

“Ugh, fine! If you don’t want to talk, then forget it!”

However, I have a reason why I can’t get close to her, much to Chifuyu’s disappointment.

It’s not that I dislike Chifuyu.

It’s just that it could potentially jeopardize one of my few friendships.
