“I"m sorry.”
I had finally started to calm down.
I put my stripped panties and camisole back on and then put on my clothes.
“I just wish you hadn’t done this in the first place, rather than apologize for doing it.” (Kei)
My emotions were all mixed up and I was sobbing uncontrollably when I finally noticed her look.
Maybe I was able to return to my senses thanks to that.
I was in a very dangerous place, as if a new door had opened up inside my heart. I never expected to be attacked, let alone by girls… wait… stop there or I will start crying again.
Then my worst thought came and reared its ugly head.
Could it be my fault that Torigetsu became a pervert?
In junior high swim cla.s.s, I used to playfully pull down his pants when we would go to change.
No, wait, it was after that I learned of his propensity. If I was the cause, he wouldn"t be a lolicon.
Right, I"m sure. It couldn’t be my fault.
Even so, I’m somewhat encouraged by the thought.
I thought to myself, mentally wiped the sweat from my forehead, and straightened my clothes while carefully keeping my expression neutral.
Today, I’m wearing a pale green skirt with gray tights and an open neckline long-sleeved blouse.
“Umm, Ms. Igarashi…”
“Yes? Well, who are you?” (Kei)
I tried to reply to the expressionless black-haired girl calmly with my arms crossed, but I didn’t know her name. Even the brown-haired girl, who were they?
I mean, how could I be expected to know the names of girls from another cla.s.s?
“I"m Saeki Akiko.”
“Oh, I"m Takimoto Mitsumi.”
I see. The black-haired girl was Saeki and the brown-haired girl was Takimoto.
In contrast to the calm Saeki, Takimoto was fidgeting with her face red. I wondered if she was in agony?
If so, why did you do that?
“You said you couldn’t get married, but were you planning to?” (Saeki)
Saeki asked me just as I was putting together an hour-long lecture for them.
"Yes, that"s how it is.” (Kei)
“What?” (Saeki)
“It looks like I’m going to be at the head of the line that says, ‘I can’t get married anymore.’” (Kei)
I wasn’t really sure if I used it right because this was a ‘catchy’ line men didn’t use.
“.....”
Saeki listened to me in silence. It seemed that she is a different type than Kaori.
“So, what are you going to do now that you know?” (Kei)
“Huh? Umm... that…” (Takimoto)
Takimoto muttered somewhat incoherently. She might have known, but I couldn’t see it.
“Look...” (Takimoto)
Takimoto seemed to be reluctant to say, so Saeki poked her back again.
“If you have any complaints, I"ll listen to you.” (Kei)
I told her with my arms crossed under my b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
“Well, no!” (Takimoto)
She denied it while shaking her head. She glared at me in cla.s.s, so I definitely thought she would have a complaint.
Takimoto’s face became redder when I c.o.c.ked my head and looked at her because I didn’t understand.
“Umm, that...” (Takimoto)
I was beginning to wonder if Takimoto was ever going to be able to say whatever it was. Looks like Saeki was getting irritated as well.
My expression didn’t change, but I started to tap on my arm with my forefinger.
“I’m madly...” (Takimoto)
I couldn’t take any more of this and grabbed Takimoto by the shoulders and pulled her toward me.
“WHAT IS IT!?!” (Kei)
"I loved Keiichi." (Takimoto)
(TN: Remember I’m using Keiichi to indicate when talking about the male and Kei for female version.)
“…Okay?” (Kei)
“Hey! Whoa! No, that’s different! It’s not like that!” (Takimoto)
My eyes flew wide open, as Takimoto desperately tried to deny what she said.
What? You liked me? Yes? Well, at least I knew I wasn’t going to complain.
“It’s different. Igarashi is now a girl. So now you don’t like her like that?” (Saeki)
“…Huh?” (Takimoto)
Saeki said as Takimoto stared at her with her eyes wide open and her face glowing bright red.
Really, there"s a girl who liked me? Are you serious?
A girl had never confessed to me, until now.
I looked at Takimoto a little closer. Yep, she definitely is cute.
Short, seemingly dyed brown hair framed her cute face and lively eyes, along with her gym clothes, seemed to indicate she’s an active girl.
….gym clothes. If she didn’t change soon, lunch break will be over.
“That isn’t what I’m saying at all.” (Takimoto)
I was able to remain calm, but Takimoto was blushing furiously while staring at me.
Hmm. It’s not like it didn’t make me happy that a cute girl liked me, but that’s what worries me.
I’m a girl now, but I have no idea whether I like men or women.
“That’s not a good idea.” (Kei)
“[Uuu...]” (Takimoto)
(TN: Sfx for a painful groan.)
Takimoto groaned in thought while Saeki showed me a positive expression as if saying that she doesn’t think there is a problem.
“Look…” (Takimoto)
What was so urgent?
“That...” (Takimoto)
I"m not going to ask you to go out with me.
When I imagine that, for some reason, Kaori comes to mind. Why Kaori?
“Please, be my friend!” (Takimoto)
She said, holding out her right hand while bowing to me.
Oh! Wow!
Well, then...
“Of course. Best regards.” (Kei)
When I nervously grasped Takimoto’s hand, I looked behind her at Saeki, who has a regretful expression.
When I took her hand, she raised her head and her face lit up with a bright smile.
“Oh, yes! Thank you!” (Takimoto)
“Well, should we head back?” (Kei)
I asked the two of them after shaking hands. It was definitely time to get out the dressing room.
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot to mention that.
“By the way...” (Kei)
I said and turned back to look at them.
“Yes?” (Takimoto)
I smiled at Takimoto, tilted my head, and murmured to her…
“Be sure to properly take responsibility.” (Kei)
With that settled, it was time to return to the cla.s.sroom alone.
