"I-I see. So you were not having a date."
Hahaha, great...! My heart felt at ease, I exhaled in relief.
"But I totally didn't get that impression, and no matter how many times she asked me I wouldn't be able to answer. Honestly, it's really unbearable."
Ever since I saw Kiyotaka-kun and Shiina-san having lunch together, my heart has been beating very fast.
If she was Kiyotaka-kun's girlfriend – my heart would probably stop beating.
"You're very naïve, Airi. You need to confirm it carefully, you know?"
Haruka-chan whispered in my ears in a low voice.
"True, saying Shiina was Kiyopon's girlfriend was going a bit too far, but the probabilities of both liking each other or Kiyopon harboring feelings towards the other part exist."
"Eeeeeeh!?"
B-but, if that were the case, perhaps it could be...
"Right? That's why you need to thoroughly investigate in advance."
Saying this, Haruka-chan started talking to Kiyotaka-kun.
"But I feel like you looked rather happy back then, weren't you?"
Just like that. Haruka-chan asked the questions I wanted to ask in my place.
"I couldn't show a dislike face either. After all, she is also a first year like me."
Yes, yes. It was just that, right? Because Kiyotaka-kun is very kind-hearted, that's why he couldn't ignore someone if they talked to him.
"Leaving aside the love Haruka said, I'm a bit concerned about the person Class C is looking for. She apologized for eavesdropping me, but Sudo also seemed to discussed with Horikita about being bothered constantly."
Realizing the topic had shifted from love to a more serious topic, I felt relieved.
"Yes. But it should be half true."
"T-that high!?"
"Even if Kiyopon said he couldn't show a disgusted expression, the fact is that he had lunch with a girl, you know? I actually think it's better to be suspect a bit."
"Uuuuh. So it was like that after all...?"
"Ah, aren't you overthinking? Perhaps Kiyopon treats everybody like that."
"Yes, yes. It must be that."
"But~ aren't boys all like that~?"
"R-r-r-really!?"
I, Sakura Airi, am always been tossed back and forth by my own heart.
