Chapter 34: In the Shadow of Shuraba
Chapter 34: In the Shadow of Shuraba
I cant believe he fainted Hes definitely the protagonist of a romantic comedy manga.
I watched the exchange between the 3 of them which had turned into a shouting match halfway through.
The three of them were shouting quite loudly so it was pretty easy to hear them even from this distance.
However, Im feeling very jealous and sympathetic towards Yuichi over there.
Im jealous over the fact that he has 2 beautiful girls confessing to him at the same time, but Im also feeling sorry for him as a man for getting his fetishes revealed out loud to the public.
W-Well, I dont have any specific fetishes to be revealed so I guess Im okay in that department.
Yes, Its true. What makes you think otherwise?
But anyways, I didnt expect this situation to happen.
Of course, in the original story, those two never confessed to Yuuichi at such a place at all.
Because after a confession like that, the story would have probably ended already.
Fujise and Yuuichis date should end with only Tojoin-san interfering with them.
The story would go on, and after many hardships those two would finally confess to Yuuichi.
Such a situation wasnt present even in the original story.
No, Tojoin-sans feelings for him were pretty obvious.
However, neither of them actually managed to make a firm confession towards him.
But instead, those two have already confessed to him here and now.
Moreover, Yuuichi was actually supposed to resolve the rift between Tojoin-san and her father.
In the heat of the moment, I decided to do it myself.
Because if I didnt do it, Tojoin-san wouldnt budge from there at all.
Im sorry, Sei-chan.
I called out to Sei-chan, who was smiling next to me as we watched the exchange between the three of them together.
Hm? For what?
No I was probably the one that interrupted Yuuichi and Fujises date the most.
Sei-chan didnt want Tojoin-san to interfere with Fujise and Yuuichis date.
If I hadnt done what I did, Tojoin-san wouldnt have interfered with them, and Fujise and Yuuichi would have made it through the date and gone out as a result.
It was all because I decided to support Tojoin-san in the end.
Im so sorry.
Fufu So you can make that kind of face too.
Eh?
When I looked down and apologized. Sei-chan gave me a gentle smile in return.
Im fine. But let me ask you this. Who would you prefer Yuuichi to go out with, Shiho or Tojoin-san?
Of course thats not for me or Sei-chan to decide, but its for Yuuichi alone to think about.
Yeah, I guess so. But judging from what you just said, do you want Shigemoto to go out with Tojoin?
No, as for me, I really dont care either way, but I want Yuuichi to take a good look at both of them before making his choice.
What do you mean by that?
I knew that Tojoin-san liked Yuuichi. Any normal person would have noticed that, but Yuuichi himself didnt.
Well, if it was that obvious, anyone would have noticed such a thing.
Yeah, I find it sad that everyone but the man in question had noticed Tojoin-sans feelings.
Thats true.
To be honest, I have no clue how he didnt notice. That guy
Thats what I call a dense protagonist in a romantic comedy manga.
Thats why I decided to help her there. I wanted to be a ally until Tojoin-sans feelings were fully conveyed to Yuuichi.
I see
So, I wont be taking Tojoin-sans side anymore. I probably wont be siding with Fujise-san either.
So you didnt have any intention to stop Tojoin-san from interfering today?
Uuu Im really sorry I was really bothered about it, but frankly yes.
To be honest, I knew that neither me nor Sei-chan would actually be able to stop Kaori Tojoin from interfering with them, even if we tried our best efforts, it would be futile in the end.
Thats why I wasnt really motivated to stop her like Sei-chan was.
HaaWell I understand that you did it out of consideration for Shigemoto and Tojoin-san, but if you didnt want to stop Tojoin-san from interfering with them. Shouldnt you have just stopped me from going to the amusement park in the first place?
Thats true, but I came here because I was attracted to the idea of an amusement park date with Sei-chan.
WHA?! I-Is that so
To be honest, if it had only been for Yuuichis request, I would never have really come to this amusement park.
When I heard that Sei-chan was going to be going to the amusement park for Fujises sake, I couldnt let her do it alone, so I decided to come too.
Well, when I realized that I was basically going to be going on a date with Sei-chan, my motivation to stop Tojoin-san really plummeted
Im really sorry. Even though Sei-chan was working so hard for Fujises sake.
N-No, its fine. I didnt do anything particular at the amusement park anyways. In addition, when I heard of Tojoin-sans familial problems. I would have chosen not to stop her too. I think we both would have picked the same choice.
Thank you.
I really like Sei-chan. Shes so kind and cool when shes like this.
Perhaps the phone call earlier had cleared up most of the rift between Tojoin-san and her father.
Its all thanks to my knowledge of the original story.
Tojoin-sans father is a man who truly cares for his daughter.
The president of one of the worlds largest companies and an extremely busy man decides to take time to have dinner with his daughter at least once a month.
If he actually didnt care about his daughter and was truly all about work, he wouldnt have even taken the time to do such a thing.
Moreover, the phone call earlier, from my point of view, was a gamble as to whether he would answer it or not.
But I knew there was a good chance that he would answer it.
Because Kaori Tojoins father has several smartphones, but he only has one private phone.
And there were only two contacts on that phone.
Those two contacts were Kaori Tojoin and his late wife.
He always has a phone ready with only those two contacts on it.
In other words, when that phone rings, it would definitely be his beloved daughter calling.
I believed that the father I had seen in the original story, who loved Kaori Tojoin from the bottom of his heart, would definitely appear at such a moment.
And the final result was great.
When Tojoin-san was on the phone with her father. I could hear her fathers voice from the distance I was at as well. Seriously, I was about to cry too.
I was really surprised, because I didnt expect one of the most famous scenes in the original story to be performed right in front of me.
I had to desperately hold back my tears from flowing.
I wonder who Shigemoto will choose to go out with.
Hmm? Well, it doesnt seem like theyll get their answer today anyways. Those two will probably continue to attack Yuuichi in the future. I wonder if hell ever be able to choose properly.
Hmm, personally I would like for him to choose my best friend Shiho, but I guess well just have to wait for Shigemoto to make his choice.
Youre right. Theyll probably continue to attack Yuuichi in the future too. Its just the matter of wholl be able to win over him first. Both of them emphasized their love to him when they confessed after all.
Ye-Yeah
Hmm? My words suddenly made Sei-chan blush.
I wonder why Oh.
Well, the confession they made just now did reveal the fetishes of the trio.
They were talking a lot about who was the aggressor and who was the receiver.
No, Yuuichi himself didnt say a word, but its a pity that he was the one whose fetishes were exposed the most.
Sei-chan has very little tolerance towards that kind of naughty talk.
However, in the original work, I think she was portrayed as not very tolerant towards it, but curious instead. Yeah, lets not do that. If I think about it any more, theres a possibility that Ill get another nosebleed.
S-SoW-Which one are you?
Eh? What?
N-No, t-that? I-Its nothing!
She seemed to have wanted to ask me something but stopped midway.
I wonder what she wants to ask me, but I dont want to be nosy, so I wont pursue it any further.
