Chapter 14

“I want Takuto to play the role of my boyfriend.”

Rina san and I, we both opened and closed our eyelids.

The outburst request was more than enough to freeze my thoughts for a while.

I never imagined it at all…..

There’s a limit to how far you can ask…….

“E-etto, role of a boyfriend? what are you talking about?”

“Like I said, I want Takuto to play the role of my boyfriend.”

“You’re asking your ex-boyfriend that.”

“I can only ask Takuto to do this.”

“No, there’s no way I can do this. …… I’m dating Rina san.”

“I’m sure you can do it, Takuto…”

Yuika rubbed her neck with her finger while muttering.

Then, Rina san interrupted.

“Do you think I would allow that?”

“Why would I need Onee chan permission?”

“Because I’m Takuto kun’s girlfriend.”

“I’m not asking him to go out with me. I’m just asking him to pretend to be my boyfriend.”

“I wonder what kind of woman would accept such a request.”

“Hmm, there are some if you look for them, aren’t there?”

With a twitch, a vein appeared on Rina san’s forehead.

Her expression began to crumble.

“Anyway, I won’t let Takuto kun act as your boyfriend. Can you just find someone else.”

“Why do you have that much right to decide, Onee chan? The reason why you went out with Takuto was because of my existence. Even though you’re the one who snatched him, why do you have to be so bossy?”

Yuika’s switch was flipped..

Her voice is getting higher and her tone is getting faster.

As expected, I think it’s gone bad, so I interrupted.

“Hey, calm down-“

“Takuto, you be quiet.”

This is no good.

If I start to talk, it will get even worse…….

“Snatched him? It was you who gave him up as you like, Yuika.”

“You were ready to take over when you started going out with him right after I broke up with him.”

“Don’t change the topic. I was rooting for Takuto kun and you, Yuika. I never wanted you to break up.”

“Anyone can do a lip service.”

The argument heated up.

The two of them were not paying attention to the people around them.

Yuka, in particular, had lost all sense of reason and the brakes on her words were no longer working.

“How can you twist my words?”

“I mean, I’m not here to talk about this. Don’t be afraid to lend Takuto to. Because I will give you a benefit from it.”

“Benefit…..? What’s with that phrasing.”

“That’s right, because of me, you were able to go out with Takuto, Onee chan.”

Rina bit her lower lip tightly and fell silent.

“Are you going to stay silent because I’ve got it figured out?”

Yuika provoked Rina san.

As expected, this is bad-

“Yuika, you’re saying too much-“

“No, It’s fine. Takuto kun.”

Rina san interrupted me.

“What? If you have something to say, just say it.”

“Now I know.”

“Huh?”

“It was you who took away Takuto kun in the first place, Yuika.”

“W-what are you talking about?”

“You knew I liked Takuto kun, and you went out with him to harass me.”

“…..D-don’t say random things. That’s not true ! I didn’t go out with Takuto with that intention-“

Yuika’s manner of enunciation became worse.

She was behaving strangely.

Rina san’s eyes filled with determination, and she told her in a clear and unafraid tone.

“I’ve decided to stop telling myself that I’m the big sister and handing over everything to my younger sister. From now on, I will do whatever I want.”

Yuika’s eyes widened and she gasped.

“Let’s go, Takuto kun.”

Rina san squeezed my hand and started to walk away.

I was pulled along and left the classroom too.

Yuika just stood there, stunned and dumbfounded.
