Chapter 5: Sei and Shiho's Phone Call



Chapter 5: Sei and Shiho's Phone Call

Unable to resist, Sei called Shiho on RINE.

The phone rang, and just before the first ring ended, the other side picked up the phone.

Shiho

Hahaha Good evening, Sei-chan.

Ah, good evening. I never thought Id be tricked by Shiho.

I wasnt tricking you. I was just trying to make it easier for you to be honest with yourself.

Thats what the public, or in my opinion, tricking people is about!

But you were really cute, Sei-chan. Ive never seen anyone fall for someone without being aware of it before.

Kuu!

In reality, it was me who spoke about it, even though I was led to do so. And it was also a mistake to blurt out almost everything without checking with Shiho about how much of the scene she saw.

However, it was good to know that she only saw me leaving.

She didnt need to know that I had a slight crush on Shigemoto before Hisamura confessed his feelings to me.

But thank you for calling me, Sei-chan. Now I can ask you about that time as much as I want!

No, no, Im not calling to talk about that

Fufu, recently I used to only talk about my feelings for Shigemoto-kun, but Im glad that Sei-chan can talk about her feelings as well!

Ive got to go to bed

Its only 10 oclock! You go to bed much later than that, dont you, Sei-chan? Do you not want to talk about love with me that much?

No, its not like that, but well, its embarrassing

I said that as I barely squeezed my voice out. I heard a gasp from the other end of the phone.

Sei-chan, youre SO CUTE right now!

Whaa? Huh? What are you talking about!

The way you said that! Im a woman, but that still made me go kyun~!

Ye-Yes, Im not sure how to say this, but.

Fufu, I knew Sei-chan was cute but Hisamura-kun made you even cuter.

What do you mean by that?!

Im sure that he told you a lot of things just by listening to your love story.

Uuu yes, but

Shiho had led me to say almost everything that had happened

I was able to hide the things I needed to hide the most, but I couldnt hide all the embarrassing things that I had just told her on RINE.

I mean, why did Hisamura-kun suddenly confess to Sei-chan?

We-Well, thats what Id like to know too.

Both Shiho and I had some interaction with the two of them, Shigemoto and Hisamura. But there was never any indication that he had actually liked me.

How did he confess to you, Sei-chan?

Wh-Why are you asking?

Its nothing. I just want to use it as a reference for when I confess my feelings to Shigemoto-kun.

Uuu, I dont know if itll be helpful but-

When I heard that my best friend wanted to make her confession successful, I explained the flow of the confession and the words that he had used against me. [ED: The story just suddenly shifts from first person to third person so Ill try my best to keep it in first person.]

There were many parts in the middle where I was just too embarrassed to explain, but I managed to explain the entire thing to her.

Th-Thank you Sei-chan, Im sorry you had to tell me all of this.

Huh No, its fine. If it helps Shihos confession, then everythings good

No, Im sorry to have you say all of that. I feel a little bad for having you tell me everything. I dont think I would have been able to do such a thing.

Wh-Why?

Its too embarrassing Its not a confession a student would make. Its more of a marriage proposal than a confession.

Pro-?!

Not expecting to be told such a thing, I coughed involuntarily.

I couldnt grasp Hisamuras confession from an objective standpoint. But never would I have dreamt that I would be told such a thing by Shiho who had looked at it from an objective standpoint.

It sounded like a proposal, didnt it? Im going to make you happy, Im going to devote my whole life to you. It sounds like a marriage proposal, right?

Uuu Wh-When you say it like that.

Indeed, looking back on it now, Hisamuras serious mood and words were closer to a proposal than a confession.

It was just like a proposal. The only thing it lacked was him asking me to marry him.

I also want to go out with Shigemoto-kun and be with him, but I dont think Id be able to propose to him yet

Its not like Im thinking about marriage either, even if I accept Hisamuras confession

Oh, so youre accepting the confession?

WE-WELL I DIDNT SAY THAT!

So youre rejecting it?

No, that Im still at a loss as to what to do

In fact, he wouldnt be able to keep waiting forever for my response.

I have to reply to his confession as soon as possible. Hisamura said he wants it as soon as possible.

Hmm, is there anyone you like, Sei-chan?

Anyone I like?

Ive never heard of your crush, Sei-chan

The first thing that comes to my mind when someone says, I like you, is now Hisamuras face.

But before that, or rather before Hisamura confessed to me, the only person I could think of that I liked was Yuichi Shigemoto, Shihos love interest.

.No, I dont have anyone I like

I cant let Shiho know about that.

I see. Then how was it when Hisamura-kun confessed his love to you?

Well, thats It made me kinda happy.

What? I couldnt hear you at the end.

It made me very happy.

I couldnt help but add an adverb at the end to express how happy I was.

I was very happy in my heart.

Thats why even now, a few hours later, my face turns red when I remember that moment.

Fufu, Its hard not to be aware of it when someone confesses so passionately to you.

Uuu Dont tease me too much, Shiho. Im full of it too

Im sorry. Its the first time Ive talked to you like this, so I got excited too.

We usually talked about Shihos love story and relationship advice, but this time it was about my love story.

It was no wonder that Shiho was so excited.

But, Sei-chan, what are you really going to do? Are you going to go out with him?

No I knew Hisamura was a very nice guy, but he just confessed out of the blue and Im not sure.

Hmm, I dont think you need to take it so seriously.

Really?

Ive been thinking about it. You cant help but think about getting married after hearing Hisamuras confession, but were still in high school, remember?

We-Well, yeah, I guess so.

Of course, I wasnt delusional enough to get married right away.

But before I got the message from Shiho, I was thinking about how I would have felt if I had accepted his confession right then

KuuI just thought of something irrelevant.

W-Whats wrong

It-Its nothing, go on

I punched the stuffed animal again, to get that delusion out of my head.

This is a story about a friend of mine in the tennis club. A boy confessed to her, she didnt like him, but she tried going out with him once.

Really?

Yup. Well, there are some people who are doing well, and some who arent, but one way is to go out with them without thinking too much about it. Sei-chan is serious, so it may be a little difficult.

Yeah, I know

In fact, most high school romances are probably like that.

No, its not just high school students, it could be adults too.

There are probably only a few men and women who have serious feelings for each other from the start and end up going out with each other.

If youre in highschool you can go out with someone that confessed to you. If youre curious you can give it a try.

Its not like Im going to be dating that person for the rest of my life.

Thats probably what happens usually.

(However)

Sei-chan, I like you, Im going to make you happy, so please go out with me

With serious eyes, Hisamura said to me seriously.

Can I go out with such a person with the feeling that I dont really like him, but it might be a good idea to try going out with him?

Fufu Its different

Hmm? Whats wrong?

No, Im sorry, Shiho. I dont mean to deny your friend or anything, but Im just not into that kind of thing. Besides, Hisamura, well, he said it so earnestly.

Yeah I know, Even though I suggested it, I knew Sei-chan wasnt that kind of person

Huh I see

And if Im going to confess to Shigemoto-kun, I wont be happy if he goes out with me thinking like that either.

I guess so. Well, Im sure Shigemoto, like Hisamura, will take these things seriously.

Yeah, I think so too. Because thats who I fell in love with.

I see

If Shiho had been that confident, maybe I wouldnt have needed to approach Shigemoto to find out about him.

That way maybe I wouldnt have taken a liking towards him.

However, its also possible that Hisamura wouldnt have confessed to me if Shiho hadnt liked Shigemoto After all, I approached Hisamura to check and see if Shigemoto was good enough for Shiho.

(No, no, no, Why is being confessed by Hisamura the positive option? I havent even agreed to the confession yet)

Oh, by the way, Sei-chan.

W-What?

Shiho grins and speaks over the phone to Sei, who was thinking a little too much again.

You got a little carried away earlier again, didnt you?

Hah? No Im not in love with him

You said that Shigemoto-kun would take me as seriously as Hisamura-kun, right? In other words, Hisamura-kun treated Sei-chan very seriously, didnt he?

Hey, no, I mean

It was Sei-chan who unconsciously fell in love with him again.
