For Some Reason, My Ex-girlfriend, Who Lost Interest in Me, and My Current Girlfriend, Whom I’ve Known Since Childhood, Are Now Fighting Over Me - Chapter 52

Kengo Ohashi could not keep quiet about his sister’s outrageous behavior.

Despite his attempts to defend himself,

“Good grief… He’s in trouble if he wants his girlfriend to wear this kind of underwear.”

Shizuku Natsukawa nailed it with her gaze and words.

The subtext was “match it up.“

As a sibling, there was no way he couldn’t read that.

(Come on, seriously! Just be honest and say ‘I came here to buy underwear for Shota-kun to see!’ I know you don’t want him to think you’re a s**t, but don’t throw bombs at me! I’m getting burned! …Well, it can’t be helped. I don’t know anyone else here as far as I can see… I’ll take you up on it this one time, but in exchange, you’ll owe me one! I’ll make sure you get the drop on Komori.)

“…Well, that’s because I’m a man, too. It’s natural for me to want her wear the underwear I like. Komori, you’re the same, aren’t you?”

“EHH!? Me!?”

“Oioi, come on, what’s the surprise? I’m in a lingerie store with my girlfriend. She’s with me. Also–“

The Natsukawa siblings had a common question after encountering Komori.

And that was,

( (–Who the h**l are you?) )

For the two girls, Shota Komori’s appearance was objectively normal. Nothing more, nothing less.

Hence, there was nothing noteworthy about him in his uniform.

However, the current Shota Komori, dressed up by Tenshi Izumi, was, to put it mildly, a good-looking young man.

It was a level that could never be described as gloomy.

This transformation was made in just one day.

No wonder the girls were perplexed.

So Kengo Ohashi asked to get an explain of his transformation.

But for Shota Komori, the question seemed to cause him a lot of headaches.

(I guess it’s a matter of fact. It’d be strange if they didn’t notice that the inconspicuous mob in the class is suddenly getting attractive. They are right to wonder. However, I’m still in a bit of a bind. Because…)

Shota Komori casually turned his gaze towards the fitting room. There, he saw Tenshi Izumi peering at him through a small gap in the curtains.

(There’s no way I can honestly say here, ‘Oh, actually, Izumi-san helped me with this!’ If I said that, it would be the end! I have Mayu-nee as my girlfriend, but I went out with another girl on a holiday, and she even helped me to get polished up. And the reality is that that girl is Kengo Ohashi-kun’s girlfriend… Hieee~! That’s a double affair! That is something that should never be exposed! The only choice left for me is–)

Now Shota Komori turned his attention to Shizuku Natsukawa and Mayuka Takamine’s in the fitting room.

(–‘I was so happy to be able to go out with Natsukawa-san in the evening that I got all worked up!’ …I guess this wouldn’t work. Ohashi-kun would never have dreamed that Natsukawa-san would give him a gift, and if I mentioned this to him, he would say, ‘What? Why are you going out with my Shizuku?’ and he would go straight to make a scene. I can only see a future where I get beaten up. I can’t go with Izumi-san, same with Natsukawa-san. Wait a minute, Kengo-kun… I guess I’m just too blind to see what’s going on. Then the only thing I can safely say with my mouth is–)

“I was so happy to have my first date with Mayu-nee…that…I tried so hard even though I thought it didn’t suit me. You’re probably wondering what this mob is up to. Sorry.”

Shota Komori despised himself out of habit as usual.

However, he had no idea…

That there were three girls who had knives in their chests because of these words and actions.

(NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! He showed me this change from the usual him in classsssss!!! …He was dressed totally normal when he was my fake boyfriend! That means there’s a world difference between the real girlfriend Takamine-san and the fake girlfriend Shizuku Natsukawa!? At least to the extent that he cares about his appearance! Why!? Why didn’t you do that for me too, Shota-kun!?)

Shizuku Natsukawa had her soul drained from her mouth.

Contrasting with her was,

(W-Wait a minute! I had thought you came dressed up pretty well… So you were trying to impress me after all!? You’re doing really well, aren’t you? Oh, no. What’s this? Suddenly my body is getting hot! My heart is beating like a bell… No, no, no! No way! How can I be conscious of Komori? Am I insane!?)

And one vector different from these two women was,

(EHH!? What’s this!? I didn’t know he had a date in the afternoon. Why didn’t he tell his mother here about it? What is the meaning of this, Shota-san!?)

It was Tenshi Izumi, who had been listening from the fitting room the whole time.
