For Some Reason, My Ex-girlfriend, Who Lost Interest in Me, and My Current Girlfriend, Whom I’ve Kno

(This is bad! This is real bad! No, Mayu-nee is not my girlfriend, and I have nothing to be guilty of! But if it were discovered that I was in a love hotel with Natsukawa-san in a bathrobe… Whoa, I got chills just imagining it!)

Natsukawa immediately senses something is wrong with Komori as he picks up his cell phone.

(Hmm…? I wonder what’s wrong. Shota-kun suddenly looks pale–Eh, no way, could it be Takamine-san!? If that’s the case, it’s no wonder Shota-kun looks awkward seeing he’s in a love hotel with me. But you know what, Shota-kun, that reaction makes me jealous.)

“It’s ringing. Why don’t you answer it quickly?”

(Natsukawa-san suddenly became grumpy!? Isn’t she changing her mood too much? I guess it’s true that a girl’s mood changes more than the weather in the mountains!)

“Um… I wonder if it’s alright to answer the phone. But more importantly, what you were saying earlier–”

“–Answer it.”

“Yes, sir. Well then, excuse me.”

Known as the ‘Ice Princess,’ Natsukawa’s sharp voice and cold air were so powerful that Komori could not resist. There was no way Komori could decline her order.

[Mou~, I was worried when you didn’t pick up the phone when I called, Sho-chan.]

“What? You called me a few times, Mayu-nee?”

[Yes, I did. You turned off your phone just now, didn’t you? That’s suspicious. What were you doing?]

“I-I didn’t do anything!?”

(Oioi, why are you panicking…? Could it be that I called at a bad timing for a guy?)

Takamine pondered the reply with his voice turned inside out. As she was trying to guess what was going on,

“Hyaaa~!!!”

Shota Komori screamed.

This is because Natsukawa, feeling alienated, began rubbing Komori’s thighs. It was like a boy playing a prank to attract the attention of the girl he likes.

[Eh, what!? What’s wrong!?]

Takamine was surprised by the sudden scream. She had no way of knowing what was happening on the other end of the call.

(What!? Is she insane to suddenly start stroking my thigh!? I’m on a phone call here!)

(I’m the worst. As soon as I realize that Shota-kun has a lover(Takamine-san), I can’t control my desire to have him all to myself. That’s why I ended up playing this prank on him.)

“N-No, it’s nothing, Mayu-nee… I’m just having a little trouble with the signal.”

[Hmm. So, where are you now?]

“Near the shopping center…”

[Actually, there’s something I want to tell you Sho-chan.]

“Something you want to tell me…?”

[Yes. So can I see you after this?]

“Then–”

Let’s meet up somewhere, as Komori was about to say this,

“–WAAA!”

Again a pinkish breath escaped his mouth. Natsukawa had breathed into his ear.

(How dare you be so mischievous, Natsukawa-san! You’ve been giving off an angry aura since a while ago. C-Could it be…! You’re angry because you were interrupted!?)

Komori became teary-eyed. He appealed to Natsukawa with a look that said, “Please spare me,” but Natsukawa held up a finger, “Shhhh,” and put up a cold expression on her face.

There was no way for him to know that her prank came from jealousy.

(It’s not time for me to SHHHH!!! I feel like I’m going to be crushed by a sense of immorality from a while ago! It makes no sense that a beautiful girl in sensational clothing is stroking my thigh while I’m talking with my girlfriend! What is this special play!? What’s more, this is a love hotel!? What’s this!? When did I step into an adult-oriented doujinshi!?)

[Ne… Are you with someone right now?]

(Look, Mayu-nee guessed it! Uh, what should I say!? How should I answer correctly? There’s no way I can mention Natsukawa-san’s name…)

Komori couldn’t hide his discomfort at the question as if he was suspected of cheating on his girlfriend. He couldn’t get his thoughts together.

[Could it be Natsukawa-san?]

“You’re wrong! I’m alone!”

Komori hurriedly denied it. From Natsukawa’s point of view, Komori seemed to be desperately trying to hide it. Her eyes were not smiling.

(What? You don’t have to try so hard to hide it. I wonder if he doesn’t want Takamine-san to know that he’s with me that badly… I’m so pissed off.)

Natsukawa, who saw Komori’s series of words and actions as ‘not wanting Takamine to find out that I am with Natsukawa,’ was unable to contain her jealousy and frustration and finally dropped a bomb.

“I didn’t realize love hotel bathrooms were made of frosted glass!”

(WACCC!? Is it necessary to say that out loud right now!? It’s as if she’s trying to make Mayu-nee hear it… Eh, that’s the purpose!? Eh, EHH!? What’s in it for you, Natsukawa-san!? If anything, I think you’re just making problems!)
