What If I Told Tomori-san, The Girl Who's Cold Only Towards Me, That I Knew Her Secret Account? - V2 Chapter 9.1

Scenario 1

“Confession, that was unfortunate.”

Perhaps it was after the prom that will likely be talked about for the next few years.

In the student council room, Seira, dressed in pitch-black attire, spoke.

『I like Kagisaka-kun just like everyone else, but I want to remain friends. And it’s not fair to confess your feelings in front of such a big crowd, it feels like you’re pushing through on impulse? If I were to give it a score, maybe it’s 35 points. If I were to be confessed to, I’d prefer a romantic atmosphere when we’re alone.』

That was what Tomori added onstage after she had just cut me off.

“But Kimitaka’s reaction was good.”

“Is that so?”

“『At least it wasn’t a complete failure. I guess I’ll join Azusa Tomori’s Heartbroken Club.』 Didn’t you say something like that? Clearly, everyone’s perspective changed after that. “

“True, that was funny.”

“Of course, and to top it all off, you said, 『Ah, what a shame. I even went as far as playing a violin recording and pretending to play it onstage to make myself look cool.』 He was playing the jester role quite convincingly.”

“You remember every word quite well.”

“Well, even among the third-year students, I have the best grades, you can’t surpass me in excellence. Nobody noticed, but you were actually playing and not using a recording, right? That performance was splendid. I’m sure everything that happened tonight was just as you wanted it to be.”

“Seira, did you figure everything out after all?”

Performing a confession act and getting rejected by Tomori in front of a crowd.

That was my plan. That way, the antagonist on the underground website would be relieved.

Because even though they were rejected by Tomori, many people still couldn’t give up on her.

So, I thought sympathy and camaraderie would gather around me, and it worked out well.

【That guy K got rejected, LOL.】

【But it was amazing, right? Even though the performance used a recording, that confession was truly heartfelt.】

【You can’t confess on a prom stage! Isn’t that common sense?】

【Maybe I’ll allow him to join. Welcome to the A • T Heartbroken Club.!】

The underground website is buzzing with activity.

In reality, my classmates encouraged me, and there were many who praised the courage it took to confess on stage.

(Well, above all else)

The slander and defamation against Chifuyu on the underground website have disappeared.

Tomori and her performed a duet on stage and showed that they reconciled.

Furthermore, thanks to the performance that rivaled professionals, Chifuyu’s evaluation has soared.

As a senpai, I couldn’t be happier.

“Your confession was really good though. I can’t believe someone who hates standing out as much as you do could come up with something like that.”

“I guess.”

“Huh? ‘I guess’… Wait, could it be…”

“That confession was something Tomori and I worked on together.”

It was a collaborative effort we made on the night I stayed over at Tomori’s house.

『I-Is this for real!? Even if it’s a lie, who asks for help with their confession dialogue from the one they’re confessing to?”

『It’s a rational decision. ‘Everyone’s Friends’ is more likely to craft a confession that resonates with the students than I am. Remember, you boasted before? Your Japanese grades were better than mine.』

『That’s true, but…』

『The deadline is tomorrow morning. Come on, let’s do our best, model student. I won’t let you sleep until it’s done. If you doze off, I’ll physically wake you up.』

『You jerk! You really are a true jerk!』

She complained plenty, but she still helped me until morning.

At the same time, I thought it was the best way to cheer Tomori up when she was down.

(It seems like I’m taking advantage of her overly kind nature, but the hero-like ‘Everyone’s Friends’ gets fired up when someone relies on them.)

And… well, you know.

I thought it would be awkward and wouldn’t go well if I tried to come up with a confession dialogue for Tomori on my own.

“I see. By the way, did you also suggest to Azusa-chan that she play a duet with Chifuyu-chan, Kimitaka?”

“Well, yeah.”

Based on my experience talking with Chifuyu as a senpai, I knew that she often played duets with Tomori.

I thought that through the performance, she might find a way to reconcile with her.

“Impressive, Kimitaka.”

She said while crafting a perfectly executed smile like a former child actor.

‘Everyone’s Admiration’ starts to weave her words.

“Dealing with the slander against you on the underground site and also addressing Azusa-chan and Chifuyu-chan’s relationship, you’re resolving two problems simultaneously.”

” ….. “

“Furthermore, you’ve also solved Azusa’s weakness, haven’t you? Azusa-chan and Chifuyu-chan should have become even closer than before, and from now on, Azusa-chan will open her heart not only to you but also to Chifuyu-chan. It’s exactly like the proverbial ‘After the rain falls, earth hardens’! Truly amazing! Everything is going well thanks to Kimitaka—”

” You say that so well, huh? But this whole incident went pretty much according to your scenario, Hiroto-san.”

It was the moment I mentioned a nickname that I had never been used within the academy.

“——You’re truly sharp, as expected, Kei.”

As if responding to her former comrade. The current leader of Kazarina and the girl known as ‘Hiroto’ wore a quiet smile.
