"You always see him in your classroom. Has he stopped trying to talk to you?" I asked Kana while we started eating the bread she brought. It's been a while since we bonded during lunch. These days I could only see her at the club and even then our ti was too limited.
"Un. Momo will always co and block him." After taking a cute bite on her bread, she answered while ekly nodding her head. "She told you asked her to do that."
Ah. I'm glad Momoiro-senpai kept to her word of helping Kana. Good thing I ran into her when I went to see Ishida-senpai.
"Un. I did. Don't be mad at her, alright? If you want to, be mad at ."
"You're always like this… I don't want to involve anyone with my troubles…"
And she's always like this. She always wanted to solve everything on her own. I respect that but there are so things that I feel the need to intervene and I'm prepared for her to reprimand for doing that.
"I understand where you're getting from. However, I am here now. It's fine if I don't know about it. But upon hearing that he kept on bothering you, what am I if I don't move to help you?" I slightly turned my head towards her wherein she did the sa. "Kana, what am I to you?"
"You're my… Ruki."
"Right? And you're my Kana. Your troubles are now my troubles as well. I will not ddle in things you wanted to do by yourself but that thing with him, I believe I need to step up and help you."
"You're already busy enough. I don't want to take more of your ti."
"This girl… Look at , do you think I'm forcing myself to see and help you?"
She's the older one between us. However, there were instances where she would be mature enough to give a piece of advice and other instances where she's not acting on that maturity.
She could see things clearly when it cos to but when it cos to her circumstances, she's becoming stubborn enough that it's making want to hold her and forcefully put myself next to her to solve everything for her.
"…No."
"Then you understand, right?"
Not knowing what to answer, Kana's eyelashes fluttered before looking down and placing her forehead on my shoulder "… Stubborn Ruki."
"I know. I'm your stubborn Ruki. By the way, I introduced myself as your boyfriend to Momoiro-senpai."
"Ah! That too! Now, everyone wanted to et you. It will be bad if our relationship spreads, right?"
"Yes, it will. I'm also known as a boyfriend to Nami among her group of friends. And soone from the class saw with Aya when we went to the bookstore. However, it's fine for them to know as long as they will keep it to themselves. We'll be discreet."
It might sound careless of but if these girls of mine wished for so of their closest friends to know about us, I will gladly give it to them.
But of course, I have to prepare sothing as a precaution.
Nami's friends are holding onto the information about our 'pretend' relationship but once I finally cut off Ogawa from her, that guy and his buddy will surely raise a ruckus. If that happened, I'm guessing everyone will know about my relationship with Nami. It will spread and because the rumor about us hasn't died down yet, it will be strengthened by that.
That's why… That Tadano and Ogawa, I need to take care of them so that they will not do that.
"It's risky but sohow, I want to show you off to them… To let them see that this ti, I didn't enter a relationship forced onto . I chose you myself." Kana whispered.
I see. So that thing still bothered her. She was just pushed by that Kenji's perseverance. Of course, she also tried to truly like that guy.
In a sense, I also sohow forced her into this relationship with but in the end, I gave her a choice unlike before and she chose to stay with .
"Then once we're done with the current problem, I will go with you and et them. Feel free to show off your guy."
"Uhm… Why do I feel worried?"
Ah. Perhaps it's because of that, huh?
"This girl, don't worry, I will not steal any of them… Uhm. Unless there's a reason for to do that. Besides, you will be the first to know if I beco interested in soone else. For now, I don't think I will be."
The future is truly uncertain. At first, I don't think of anything about Shizu or Arisa-senpai but now, I'm all in at making the forr mine and I want to know everything about the latter.
I can't just give a promise that there's a possibility for to break. Although there's that saying that promises are ant to be broken, I want to keep all the promises I made with my girls to be fulfilled.
"You and your womanizing tendency."
"I'm sorry."
"I told you I don't want to hear you say sorry. Let punish you."
"How will you punish ?"
"Like this." Kana lifted her head and reached in for a kiss. At first, it was soft and fluffy that I thought it would end up with it being a passionate one but a few seconds later, I felt her teeth sinking into the lower lip as she bit at it. Although it stung, she let it go before it sank enough for it to bleed.
Kana smiled and stuck her tongue out before pulling my head down to her chest, aside from the softness of it, I could hear her rhythmic heartbeat and the warmth of her embrace. "I love you enough that I don't want to be jealous and be competitive to another girl, Ruki. Everything you showed after telling everything was genuine… You never mask your thoughts and when you're troubled, you also don't hesitate to co to to hear what I think. I love all of that. It's making feel that I'm special to you."
"Of course, you're special. You're my Kana." I answered before circling my arm to her back.
It's comfortable. Being in her arms like this is giving too much comfort that I sohow don't want to let go of her.

After all that, we finally moved on to talk about the upcoming face-to-face with that Kenji. To end his delusion that Kana will co back, Kana has to show it to him herself. And of course, I will be there by her side.
Ishida-senpai will be diating for us and now the date for that has been decided.
Because she's still working on editing her novel to be sent this week for that competition, she wanted that to happen next week.
"Alright, we'll let Ishida-senpai know about it. For now, I will continue walking you ho when I can and rely on Momoiro-senpai to block that guy from approaching you."
"Un, I will also actively ignore him. Just thinking about you will give strength." With a smile, Kana kissed once again and this ti, it finally ended up to what I was expecting. A passionate kiss was shared between us.
"Let's finish eating this. You seem to still have a lot to do. I can feel you're worried about sothing."
"You always have that keen eye when it cos to . Yes, I'm worrying about Nao."
And I told her what's going to happen. To Nao, to Shio and everything else. Because of her shy nature, although she's getting along with Rae and Aya, she couldn't do it yet with the other girls in that group.
"I see. It's complicated but all of us beca this strong because of you. You can beco the worrywart that you are and deciding to believe in us is very good. You're growing up. I'm glad to see every change that happened to you."
"Am I really growing up? If my Kana says so then I will believe it."
"You're usually confident in yourself, why are you like this now?"
"Perhaps it's because I can't stop this desire of mine. But thank you, Kana. If not with you girls, I might be the sa idiot."
Everything that happened to is owed to these girls. That's why I want to reciprocate it and make sure that nothing will happen to them.
After a while, the phone call that I'm waiting for finally arrived. When Kana noticed that, she nodded at and distanced herself for a bit, she would be eavesdropping but for Nao to see only on the screen, she knew that it would provide the most effect.
I reached for her hand to squeeze it and mouthed a thank you to her before accepting the call.
As soon as Nao's face appeared on the screen, there's a wide grin pasted on her lips.
"Ruki… It's a success!" Nao exclaid and showed a peace sign with her fingers.
Success, huh? But to what degree of success? Well then, let's hear about it from this girl.
