Chapter 54: Alone in the Weekend
Going back in time, when both me and Asanagi returned to Amami-san’s side.
“…Umi, are you sure this is alright?”
“Mhm. I think it’s the best option for all of us.”
In the end, Asanagi decided that both of us should refrain from hanging out for a while.
As soon as Asanagi apologized, Amami-san said that she would let bygones be bygones. She said that she wasn’t mad anymore and she wouldn’t mind if Asanagi were to continue to hang out with me during the weekend.
However, Asanagi didn’t back down.
“Umi, you don’t have to beat yourself up over this, okay? I’m the one at fault this time, I hurt you because I’m an idiot.”
“No, Yuu, you aren’t an idiot. I’m the idiotic one. I acted tough and hid everything from everyone, thinking that I did everything for you. But that was just an excuse. In the end, I did that because I couldn’t trust you. And I called myself your best friend, what a joke…”
If only she confronted her two friends when she first found out that they lied to her, or immediately talked about it with Amami-san, maybe the four of them could have discussed everything properly.
