Chapter 9: A Loner’s View on Relationships
After all that, I was fortunate enough to have another weekly gathering with Asanagi-san, so… I decided to apologize to her for eavesdropping on her confession the other day.
“Ah, that happened, huh? It’s fine, don’t worry about it. You just happened to be there and didn’t actually tail me, right? In that case, it was completely on me.”
I thought her mood would worsen if I brought that up, but instead, she just dismissed it lightly as she ate the pudding she bought at the convenience store.
“You sure?”
“Well, I don’t mind being asked out. The reason why I snuck out instead of announcing it to everyone was out of consideration for the other person… After all, someone might start unpleasant rumors between both of us, like Nitta from our class, she would do something like that.”
“Nitta would be… that girl you usually hang around with, right, Asanagi?”
“Right. Well, I don’t know if she would gossip about me, but she did gossip about other people, as you could expect.”
As I promised, I decided to hide the fact that I had run into Amami-san and Nitta-san there. It’s completely on them to decide what they would do.
Of course, I also hid the fact that I got Amami-san’s phone number.
