I Accidentally Sent a Love Letter to the School's Most Prestigious Young Lady Instead of My Childhood Friend, and Now She's Bowing to Me, Asking, "Please Date Me—On the Premise of Marriage!" - Epilogue
“Waaaaahhh!!!! This is terrible! I’ve been deceived!!!! Cheating, betrayal, it’s a crime!!!! I’ve been toyed with and thrown away!!!!”
That was Haru’s first cry upon learning the spoiler.
“I’m sorry! I really messed up! I apologize, I’m begging you!”
After that, during the hot spring training camp, Haru completely stopped talking to me. When we got back, I waited for the right moment and honestly explained the situation. And now, I’m rubbing my head against the floor of the club room.
“Enough already. I feel… cold. I mean, I don’t plan on getting back together with Yuu anymore.”
“…Really? Aren’t you going to tell me to break up with Shion or to get back together with her or something?”
“Nope. I’m so done with guys who are interested in other girls. Next time, I’m going to find a much better guy.”
“…Are you serious?”
“No! I have no intention of that! Not at all! Absolutely none!”
Haru declared this emphatically. On the surface, it seemed like Haru was the one who ended things, but I was the one who caused it. A pang of guilt lingered deep in my chest.
But, if it’s Haru—she could find someone much better than me, without a doubt.
“Find a guy better than me. That way, both I and Shion will be able to move on.”
“Of course!”
Haru said this with a fierce determination, and the moment I saw her unwavering expression, I felt a weight lift from my chest.
◇◇◇◇◇◇
After that—Shion and I graduated from a casual relationship to officially being a couple. Before I knew it, we were being treated like the “couple everyone admires” around the school.
I could hear the underclassmen whispering “That’s nice” as they passed by in the hallway, and I felt a little shy.
As for Ai, she seemed to have completely fallen in love with the club, lounging on the sofa in the club room again today.
She had become the guardian deity of the club room.
And then—there was Haru.
“Hey, do you like me?”
“I love you.”
“Really? What do you like about me? My face? My personality? …Or maybe my chest?”
“I love everything! I can’t get enough of you, Haru!”
“Yahhhaaa! Guys are the best!!”
…In this way, she brought her boyfriend into the club room and openly flirted right in front of Shion and me.
“Hey, weren’t you with the basketball club captain last week?”
“That’s over. He flirted with other girls, so bye-bye! He tried to say, ‘I’m sorry, I just glanced at her,’ but I won’t tolerate cheating even a little bit!”
“…Hey, Captain?”
The captain of the soccer club (her current boyfriend) was sweating nervously while forcing a smile, looking like a soldier on the battlefield.
Well—if Haru is happy, then that’s all that matters.
I exchanged glances with Shion next to me, and despite our wry smiles, we shared a calm sense of happiness.
It was lively, a bit noisy, but no one was missing.
In that club room, another afternoon passed by.
The End
