“Reika-sama, what do you think of Serika-san’s attitude lately? She’s jealous because I’m in the same class as Kaburagi-sama!”
This time Kikuno-chan timed it so that Serika-chan wasn’t there, before coming to talk to me.
“If she’s envious, then she should just say so. Even though I went out of my way to tell her stories about Kaburagi-sama, all she does is glare at me. Don’t you think her personality is terrible?”
Oh my, oh my~
That’s quite an arrogant attitude, huh~
I think both of you were in the wrong.
“Serika-san was sulking because all you spoke of was Kaburagi-sama.”
“Sulking?”
“Please keep this a secret, but, Serika-san was complaining to me about how Kaburagi-sama is more important to you than she is. ‘Even though I’m closer to her’, she said. I think that she might be lonely.”
“Eh-…”
“Serika-san likes you very much, after all. But lately all you speak of is Kaburagi-sama. Wouldn’t you feel ignored? Don’t you think that perhaps her jealousy is directed at Kaburagi-sama instead?”
Now this is a total lie.
“But you must not go to Serika-san to confirm this. Serika-san is quite the stubborn one, so if you knew how she really felt, she would likely sulk even more, you see.”
“To think Serika-san said…”
“In this case… What if you act like the mature one, and take the first step? I am certain that if you do so, Serika-san will immediately feel better. She likes you a lot. The two of you are best friends, after all.”
“Best friends… You’re right. We’re best friends, aren’t we.”
It looks like she’s a little happy about the specialness of ‘best friends’.
And it seems like her anger has subsided too.
“Reika-sama, what I said earlier…”
“Of course, I did not hear a thing. After all, it was not how you truly felt, was it.”
“No. Thank you very much, Reika-sama.”
No, no. You two are quite similar, you know.
*imouto*
After that, they immediately made up.
And it looks like my lies weren’t exposed. The two of them are lovey-lovey and following each other everywhere again.
I’m a coward, so absolutely ‘no thank you’ to trouble. It’s scary.
I mean, you never know when you’ll get wrapped up in it, after all.
Peace is definitely the best.
*imouto*
Speaking of which, in 『you are my dolce』, didn’t Kisshouin Reika feed Emperor with lies about the protagonist, that led to a falling out scene…?
