Chapter 9

Commoner A's Thought

Ashida's question was tricky, leaving Aizawa confused.

"Eh, eh!? Do you usually ask that kind of thing out of the blue like thisー?"

"It's okay, isn't it? That's right, isn't it!? Anyway, you like Sajocchi ー Now, don't you?"

"Eh...?"

The atmosphere somehow became tense. As I looked closely at Ashida's face while being frightened, I could see her smile that was similar to Aizawa's smile these days, it was an unbreakable smile.

This... ...is this when the girl-on-girl fight is about to start? Wait, why do they have to fight? Why the heck!!?

"Yeah, that~... ...As expected, I'm not good enough (pathetic nonsense), I guess?"

Oops, my girly sensors are already reacting at this moment.  By playing the role of the heroine in the tragedy, and by contemplating it, it would create a plot where the opponent's position would become worse than hers. That's deft. By the way, today Aizawa is also cute.

But, although I can understand it, I don't think Ashida will. I personally think that Ashida's intuition is indeed quite sharp.

"I see~, isn't this a tragic story? And that ex-boyfriend who dumped Aizawa-san was the worst! I guess..."

"Th-That's trueー."

No, as I expected, but... ...aren't these girls too blunt? It's like after you finish putting on your makeup, then you put another foundation on top of it... ...Frankly speaking... ...As I expected, when girls talk about bad things about guys, they will be much more lively than usual....

"But, since you have Sajocchi right now, you're already okay, right!? Throw that kind of boy away, he's just an enemy of girls, and be happy with Sajocchi!"

"..."

"W-Wait a minute, Kei...!"

Perhaps because she thought it was too much, Natsukawa tried to stop the excited Ashida by holding her shoulders. Aizawa, who let Ashida say whatever she wanted, closed her eyes and shook her shoulders while looking down.

After she exaggerated her own words like that, did she regret it at this moment...?

Well, I don't really understand, but there is one thing I can understand. That is, Natsukawa is like a goddess. Well, I'm pretty sure. Yep.

"─...Like that."

"Eh?"

"Can you not say bad things about my ex-boyfriend like that?"

Aizawa, who had sharpened her eyes, looked straight at Ashida and said so. Unlike usual, she didn't end her words meekly like usual, and she said so seriously.

Is this really how Aizawa really feels?

After saying a few words coldly, Aizawa quickly left this classroom. In the end, she barely talked to me. She came just to press her chest against my back...!?

...H-Hey, isn't that the best part?

"Sajocchi, why don't you go after her, though?"

"Impossible, she's so scary."

"Ew, what a co-ward... ....but you're right this time. I guess."

"..."

I like Aizawa because she's cute. It's not really a romantic feeling, though. It's just that for a cute girl to talk to me, I can't think of anything other than, it's a blessing for me. I wouldn't do anything for that girl even if I had to be the one to suffer hardships.

But, if I leave it at that, I'll get into trouble like I did just now, and that sucks... ...Honestly, I don't think that Ashida needs to fight with her. Realistically, it didn't seem like a smart choice to stay on the sidelines.

But thanks to Ashida, I know that at least Aizawa doesn't hate Arimura-senpai yet. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said anything like defending him like that. I still don't really understand, but in any case, I should thank Ashida for working hard.

Maybe this time, I can break this deadlock.

♦

It's time for lunch break. And, Aizawa didn't come to my class. But, without thinking, I went to the hut behind the school building. And maybe my desire had gotten to her? I could see Aizawa sitting there without eating her lunch.

"...Hi! You were waiting for me, weren't you!?" ...If I had said that, I would have died.

"Our Shudra was really bad a while ago, well, sorry, okay, Aizawa."

"Sh-Shudra?"

Aizawa, with rounded eyes, looked at me with a curious face.

D*mn, she's so cute. How dare Arimura-senpai be interested in another girl... ...but, yeah, that girl is "Natsukawa Aika", though, so what can I say. I'll forgive him even more this time. I don't know what Aizawa thinks about it.

I sat a little further away than usual. Aizawa, on the other hand, wasn't as energetic as usual. She just sat there quietly, and looked depressed. A few hours ago, I never imagined Aizawa had such a serious side.

"...Sajou-kun, I realized that when you were with me, you didn't really talk about Natsukawa-san."

"It's like this. I was taught that when I'm with a girl, I shouldn't talk about other girls."

Aizawa laughed weakly and couldn't stand my joke. I did have a lot of doubts about Aizawa, but I could see a glimpse of her crocodile tears.

Tsk, how could she be that awesome? By the way, to date, this is the cutest side of her.

"But, you do like Natsukawa-san, don't you?"

"I knew it, you already knew about it?"

"There's no one in this school who doesn't know about it. Aren't you always with her?"

"Ugh..."

Stop it. Those words, hit me hard. The shameful past of repeating actions without thinking of my own self-worth. Please don't mention it again and leave it alone. Now I adore her as a fan, supporting her with a glow stick. Yeah!! Yeah!! Do it!!!

"And I think everyone also knows about what happened between Aizawa and your ex-boyfriend."

"I see... ...Right, that's true."

Yeah, I don't know. How could I say something like that? Really... ...Until recently, Natsukawa was the only one in my eyes. There was only one girl that could be seen in my field of view... It's a pattern that the next time I say it while looking in the mirror, I'll fall into despair.

...Now, let's resolve the situation.

Aizawa still hasn't forgotten Arimura-senpai. I'm sure that she still likes him. However, he said that it was Aizawa who dumped him. And, what I actually heard from Arimura-senpai's mouth were the words "Natsukawa from the first-year". Perhaps this is the beginning of a series of events.

Aizawa and Arimura-senpai were a very close couple. However, one day, a boy's weakness was activated, and Arimura-senpai fell in love with Natsukawa at first sight. It couldn't be helped, because she was cute, pretty, and cool.

And Aizawa, who was aware of this, fought with Arimura-senpai and dumped him even though she didn't mean it. I guess, she didn't want Senpai to see any other girls other than her. Arimura-senpai who sensed his own incompetence, responded to Aizawa's request easily. That leads to Aizawa's recent actions. Yeah, all of this is indeed just speculation.

After all, Aizawa Rena had a grudge against Natsukawa Aika.

That's why, Aizawa who always saw me around Natsukawa, might have misunderstood Natsukawa Aika and Sajou Wataru as a couple and tried to snatch me away from Natsukawa. And since I have an average face, she thought it would be easy to snatch me. Yeah, she wants to snatch me.

The reason why she was trying to do all this without any effort to gather accurate information was the same reason as me, because I was obsessed with Natsukawa, Aizawa could only see Arimura-senpai in her eyes.

She thought that Natsukawa Aika would be hurt and sad if she snatched Sajou Wataru away from her. Eventually, Aizawa would also give in, and with the relationship between me and Natsukawa falling apart, her revenge drama would be complete.

"Perhaps, Sajou-kun doesn't really pay attention to me, do you...? Since you already have Natsukawa-san."

"..."

Aizawa sounded as if she was giving up.  She knew that she wouldn't be able to change my heart because I already have someone I love. And, using her love experiences, she was trying to read my heart. Honestly, my heart was quite shaken.

So, how should I deal with her after this? The hurdle was indeed a bit too high for me, who was so mediocre that I wanted to avert my eyes. If I say that it doesn't matter, I'll just be an indecisive boy who cares about two girls. Above all, what should I do? Seriously, what should I do?

What can I, who's just a Commoner A (in the city), do? I don't know. What have I done up to this point? Chasing after Natsukawa... ...What's wrong with me?

It's impossible for me, who has never accomplished this kind of thing before, to think of a good idea. Well, I don't have a smart brain. How could I make someone in this kind of situation calm down? I only have limited cards I can play here.

 "..."

Oh, right. Let's drag Aizawa into this 'Bottomless Swamp' as well.

 (TL Note: What he means here is, to make Rena a Natsukawa fan too, I mean it's the Bottomless Swamp of Our MC.)
