Why Not Make Both Twins 'Girlfriends'?-Chapter 6Volume 1 .2 - What Was Revealed...?

What Was Revealed…?  2

It was a case of the wrong person from the beginning, and it was becoming annoying for her.

While thinking this, she touched the ribbon tying her hair on the left as usual——but then her fingers grasped at air.

(What? Ah?… Wait a minute!?)

Her ribbon had disappeared at some point.

She was sure it was there when she left school, but now only the hair tie she usually wore under the ribbon was left on her hair.

(So that’s why they mistook me for someone else… no, more importantly…!)

Chikage was completely flustered.

That ribbon was very important to her——

“If you’ve realized that you’ve mistaken me for someone else, then I’ll be——”

Just as she was about to hastily return to school to search for her ribbon——

“His name was Taka… Takayashiki, right? I think so.”

Hearing the name that came out of the knit-capped man’s mouth, Chikage’s feet stopped.

She involuntarily turned towards them, saying ‘what?’

“Yeah, something like that. It was an unusual name, huh?”

“Sorry! Can I ask you something!? “

” ” Uh… ” “

The two men were taken aback by Chikage’s assertive tone.

“What kind of person is this… Takayashiki?”

The man in the knit cap opened his mouth awkwardly.

“Well, I think he goes to the same school as you, judging from the uniform… And, he looks sleepy and thin…”

“Does he often come to this arcade?”

“Ah… no, I think I’ve seen him around twice… right?”

“Uh, yeah…”

The long-haired man opened his mouth awkwardly when he was suddenly asked something like that.

“He seemed really close with his girlfriend… But that’s not you, right?”

Lost for words, her expression gradually became blank.

“Hikari’s words suddenly echoed in her ears: 『Chii-chan, you need to get your crush quickly, or someone else will take him away!』 “

She was aware that women who are passive don’t attract much attention.

She thought she had tried to move forward in her own way.

Despite that——

She felt as if she was frozen in place in the midst of a long rain and unable to move right now.

As her body and heart grew colder, she couldn’t stop shaking.

“Sorry for the misunderstanding!”

“Then, we’ll be going now…”

The two men were about to leave with awkward smiles.

But suddenly, tears unexpectedly started streaming down Chikage’s face──

“Ah? …what’s this?”

Chikage, momentarily confused about what was happening to her, was bewildered.

Then, seeing her own tears falling, she finally realized she was crying.

As the emotions she had been holding back overflowed from within her, Chikage broke down crying before she could even understand what she was feeling.

“Wait, what!? What happened!?”

“You, why are you crying…?”

The two uncomfortable men started to look around, and then there——

“Usami-san…!”

Chikage saw Sakuto.

“Usami-san, what’s wrong!? Are you okay!?”

“No, this is… kind of… you see…”

“This…”

Ignoring the flustered men, Sakuto rushed to Chikage——Usami.

She began crying even more, making it seem unlikely that he could get any information from her.

Sakuto silently glared at the men.

Then the men exchanged awkward glances.

“We didn’t mean to… okay?”

“Yeah…”

Sakuto stepped in front of Usami, shielding her with his back.

“But it’s true that she was bothered. Please stop inviting her to the arcade.”

Sakuto’s tone was stronger than usual.

“Sorry, we really didn’t mean it like that!”

“Then, we’ll be going now!”

The two men entered the arcade, then Sakuto scratched the back of his neck in frustration.

(I should calm Usami-san down first before asking her about it…)

As Sakuto looked towards Usami——

“Usami-san, are you okay——!? “

Suddenly, something leaped into Sakuto’s chest and squeezed his back.

Sakuto’s eyes widened in surprise.

Usami’s head was just right under his chin.

“Uh, Usami-san… what happened…!?”

He was startled by her sudden leap into his chest, he was confused of how to handle the situation.

The street was crowded, but there was no room to worry about the surroundings.

“It’s okay now… those guys are gone… I’m sorry, I should have come earlier…”

As Sakuto said this, Usami rubbed her forehead against his chest, shaking her head from side to side.

Then, she murmured something softly into his chest.

“Yes? What did you say?”

When Sakuto asked again——

“I’ve liked Takayashiki-kun since junior high school…”

Sakuto was shocked.

However, their interactions up until today came flooding back to him.

Although he hadn’t expected this, deep down, he was aware of her affectionate gazes and gestures towards him.

But he was not completely sure.

On the other hand, there was so much he didn’t understand.

The Usami he saw at school and the Usami he saw at the arcade were different.

He felt tossed around.

She seemed to like him, but there was something uncomfortable about it, so he had avoided thinking about it until he understood these differences more clearly.

He hadn’t expected a sudden confession like this.

And why was she so sad?

Even though she said she liked him, why did it sound so sorrowful?

It was as if──

『I’ve liked Sakuto for a long time…』

It was just like that time.

Again, he had caused sadness because of him, just like in the third year of junior high school.

With that thought, whether it was anger, sadness, frustration, or all of them, he couldn’t tell, but a surge of emotions welled up from deep within his chest.

When he tried to step back, Chikage’s arms tightened around him even more.

“I’ve always wanted to talk to you… but I was too embarrassed, lacked confidence, and couldn’t muster the courage…”

“I see…”

He felt the weight of her emotions, knowing she had cared for him since their junior high school days.

Was she blaming him and wishing he had realized sooner?

No, Usami was clearly blaming herself.

She berated herself for not acting sooner and seemed to forgive Sakuto for not noticing her feelings.

Without any resentment or scorn towards Sakuto, she only blamed herself.

Her kindness made it all the more painful.
