(Kazunari POV)

In the end, all I could come up with was the conclusion I knew all along: I needed to be brave and talk to her properly.

But of course I was too scared to ask for confirmation… I wanted to concede.

I don’t have confidence in myself, always being confronted with these types of things head on and isolated countless times in the past. After all, I’m just…

I felt like giving up.

I never intended to do any wrong to anyone, so why do they always make me look bad? Why is everyone always like this…?

Resentment swelled within me.

I left the diner having unbearable thoughts.

Maybe because he knew that nothing had been resolved, Yuji also looked bitter as he was watching my expression.

However, by some ill-fated coincidence.

Just as we left the diner…

…We encountered senpai.

Senpai was with another girl, probably of the same age.

I considered her before as a friend… but now I was more afraid of her.

To have that cold gaze turned on me.

To find out what she thought of me.

It’s impossible to face Senpai now.

I immediately turned my back on senpai, and faced Yuji.

Yuji, who had seen my expression, somehow understood what was going on and looked back between me and Senpai.

“Let’s go, Yuji.”

I called out to Yuji and started to walk in the opposite direction of senpai.

“P-please wait!”

Senpai called out to me in a loud voice.

It was the first time I had ever heard her speak with such a voice.

(Sara’s POV)

“P-please wait!”

I’ve never felt this level of urgency from wanting to talk to someone before.

After consulting with Natsumi, the obvious conclusion was that I still had to talk to him firmly, no matter what I thought.

We were able to meet, albeit by accident.

Since I didn’t want to miss this opportunity, I called out to Takanashi-san as he was about to leave.

——————————————

(Kazu’s POV)

“Kazunari, is that the senpai you were talking about? Why don’t you talk to her properly?”

Yuji said as he tried to convince me.

To be honest, I was afraid to face her… but there was still a part of me that wanted to believe that there was still a possibility.

That she behaved like that for a reason, that she did not doubt me, that she might say something like that…

I stopped and slowly turned around again, but I was unable to make eye contact.

“Takanashi-san, about yesterday…”

Senpai continued.

“When I got there, I didn’t know what had happened to Takanashi-san and those two. That’s why I wanted to ask what happened.”

Apparently, Senpai didn’t see that I was pushed from behind or that he grabbed me by the collar.

“As Vice President of the student council, I view all students fairly. I don’t give any special treatment to anyone. The same goes for you and the other two guys in that place.”

…In short, that means she’s looking at me in the same way as the rest of them, right?

“As long as there are suspicions, I have to listen to them carefully.”

…Did she suspect something from me?…That I’m the kind of person who would do something childish and stupid like that… and that was why she asked me…

I knew myself that I was thinking negatively, but the answers I didn’t want to hear kept coming and so, I didn’t want to talk about it any more.

Just as I was about to leave, Yuji opened his mouth.

“So you’re saying that you questioned Kazunari because you felt that he was suspicious… is that what you wanted to say? That Kazunari is the kind of guy who would do such a childish and stupid thing, right?”

It was unusual for Yuji to have such a pouty tone in his voice.

(Natsumi’s POV)

I was scratching my head over Sara’s explanation.

I did tell her to speak up, but I didn’t expect her to explain it from her position as a Vice President.

To tell him that ‘I trusted you’.

To tell him that ‘I never doubted you from the very beginning’.

Just by saying that, the other side would have definitely listened to what she had to say.

I noticed that Takanashi’s expression was getting stiffer.

I felt the need to interject into the conversation.

However, a boy who might be Takanashi’s friend spoke first, and I lost my chance.

——————————————

(Sara’s POV)

“So you’re saying that you questioned Kazunari because you felt that he was suspicious… is that what you wanted to say? That Kazunari is the kind of guy who would do such a childish and stupid thing, right?”

In the middle of my story, a boy who was with Takanashi-san interrupted me.

I felt disgusted and uncomfortable that a boy I didn’t know at all was talking to me and stopping me from talking about something important.

“I didn’t suspect anyone. I was just trying to explain from my position.”

“That’s enough. I understand perfectly.”

“…Takanashi-san?”

Takanashi-san’s face, again… became expressionless…

——————————————

(Kazu’s POV)

“In other words Senpai thinks that I’m just like those idiots from yesterday and that I’m a low-class guy who would do something as childish as that. That’s how I’ve always been perceived, and that’s why I’ve not been trusted in the slightest.”

I didn’t want to say that much, but I couldn’t stop saying one negative word after another. I couldn’t stop…

I realized that everything I’d accomplished up to this point had meant absolutely nothing to her.

In the end, it’s the same as that time, no matter what I’ve accomplished, I haven’t gained a shred of credibility, so I’m easily suspected and cut off with a single false accusation.

What in the world am I supposed to do…?

Even this person who was always in communication with me didn’t have that much trust in me.

I no longer wanted to hear anymore about it.

“Let’s go.”

I pulled Yuji’s arm and walked away.

“W-wait a minute, Takanashi-kun! This is all a misunder-…”

The woman who was with senpai wanted to say something, but I didn’t want to hear anything else.

“Sorry, Kazunari, it was just as you felt…”

Yuji then exhaled heavily, as he tried to calm himself down.

“In other words Senpai thinks that I’m just like those idiots from yesterday and that I’m a low-class guy who would do something as childish as that. That’s how I’ve always been perceived, and that’s why I’ve not been trusted in the slightest.”

…Eh?

Why is he talking like that…?

W-wait a minute, I just wanted to explain that as the vice president, I had to show that kind of attitude and response even if I didn’t want to…

But I myself, just wanted to tell him that I believed in him from the very beginning…

Seeing that I was confused, Natsumi shouted on my behalf, but Takanashi-san pulled his friend away and hurriedly left.

“*Sigh*… Even though it was by chance, and I know you weren’t prepared for it, you made the mistake of not deciding what to say first. However, that one must have quite a complex.”

“Natsumi… what are you trying to say…?”

I couldn’t comprehend the current situation.

Why did it turn out this way…

Thank you for reading.

I’m surprised that the PV has been growing steadily.

It’s a serious story that doesn’t fit the title, but if I dare to break it up, it’s the climax scene of the first chapter. I wanted to portray this as a step towards future developments, so I hope you enjoy reading it. I don’t intend to drag it out.
