I Went Out With a Losing Heroine, But Before I knew It, My Childhood Friend, Who's Supposed to

After school, Kasumi went home and closed her eyes in her room and took a deep breath.

And then―

“Yō’s an idiot, idiot, idiot! Why do you care about her when you don’t even know who she is! Is she that good to you!? You lolicon man!”

Kasumi threw her bag on the bed with all her might, shouting out loud as if to vent her daily frustrations.

She usually looks cool, but in reality she has a lot of passion in her heart.

So she was usually cool, but under certain circumstances, she was not cool at all.

“Impossible, impossible, impossible! I mean, this guidebook is a fraud! What’s the point of letting a man chase you if he’s not going to chase you back!? You can attract a man by making yourself seem interested in another man! That’s not true at all!”

Kasumi shouted angrily as she flipped wildly through the pages of the book she had bought a year ago.

She had been working on it for the past year, but it hadn’t worked at all.

She gets very angry about that.

“Haa~….I messed up…! I shouldn’t have teamed up with Kinoshita-kun a year ago…!”

Kasumi realizes now that she has made a huge mistake and plops down on her bed.

There is a saying that you can never have too many regrets, and it’s too late to regret what you’ve done.

A year ago, Kasumi had tried to keep all people away from Yō.

However, Marin was the only one who did not believe her words and continued to be involved with Yō.

Feeling threatened by the fact that Marin was too pretty to look at, Kasumi wanted to get her away from Yō somehow.

That’s when she turned her attention to Marin’s childhood friend, Haruki.

She knew very well how important it was for a woman to have a childhood friend who stayed by her side even after she became a high school student.

So, at first, she thought that if she pretended to be interested in Haruki, Marin, who was interested in him, would not be able to care about Yō.

However, Marin continued to pay attention to Yō.

At that time, Haruki, who had already figured out that she was not in love with him, came up with a proposal.

Kasumi, who wanted to do something about Marin, unintentionally agreed to the proposal, but it turned out to be a complete failure.

Even after one year, Haruki and Kasumi had not achieved their goal.

The two of them were so frustrated with the situation that they decided to take action, which led to Marin’s heartbreak the other day.　　　

This was a big gamble for Kasumi, but since she hadn’t gotten what she wanted after a year, she had no choice but to take it.

That’s the way it is now.

“Kinoshita-kun’s the only one who’s winning here…! Why was Yō in that place anyway!? And why did he reach out to that girl! Even though he abandoned me so easily…!”

Kasumi will never forget it.

That Yō was in the direction that the heartbroken Marin ran to, and that Marin ran to him, and he hid himself, and he never came out of there.

Knowing his personality since childhood, Kasumi couldn’t believe it.

The fact that the one person she thought would be kind to her and not to others had gone to reach out to another woman.

That was why she had waited for him that night, but he had just said what he wanted to say and walked into the house.

That was something that Kasumi could not forgive.

However, she thinks that she was in the wrong too.

Whenever she saw Yō’s face, she couldn’t help but remember the time when they had parted ways, and it made her angry.

Lately, she’s been angry at the situation she’s been dealing with for over a year now, and she’s not really keeping her cool.

If Yō wasn’t there, she would be able to think calmly, but when Yō was there, her anger would erase the plans she had made in advance, and she wanted to do something about it.

But― That being said, there are some things that are just unforgivable.

“Yō too! What does he mean by 『That’s your answer?』! Who answered you back then? I never did! Don’t make assumptions about me!”

Remembering the exchange with Yō yesterday, Kasumi became even more furious.

When she heard during lunch break that Marin had found a boyfriend, she turned pale.

This is because there was only one person in the situation that she could think of that she would be attracted to, and that was Marin, who had just been dumped.

Sure enough, that person was Yō.

Kasumi became even more angry at Yō for neglecting her and leaving her alone with Marin.

She’s been trying to convince Marin to stay away from him, but she’s been biting him from the get-go, and Yō suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood up for Marin.

Really, just remembering it makes her angry.

“What should I do? If I don’t do something now, it will really be irreversible…!”

What she fears is that Marin will completely change her mind about Yō.

The best way to prevent this from happening is to tell her about the true relationship between herself and Haruki― but in reality, that would be the worst move.

When she finds out the whole story, Marin’s feelings will be completely cut off from Haruki.

She didn’t have to think about what Marin would want if she was hurt again.

If that was the case, it would be better to hide it from her and let her stay in a state where she still hadn’t lost her feelings for Haruki.

But that wouldn’t last long.

Kasumi knows this for sure.

She knows truthfully the addictive nature of Yō that she has come to be close to.

“It’s not good to leave them alone… And since it’s Yō, he’s probably going somewhere for the weekend. And the fact that there’s a good chance he’s asking her out is even more mind-boggling…”

Yō is not familiar with the relationship between men and women to the point of anger.

He’s the kind of guy who can take a woman out if he feels the need to.

If Yō decided that showing Marin a beautiful scenery would be an effective way to comfort her, they would certainly go out together on weekends.

After realizing this, Kasumi pondered how she could intervene.

Translator’s Comment: My anger for her might have subsided for a bit lol. Didn’t expect this to happen. All that’s left to know is what actually happened between Kasumi and the MC for them to separate away which makes Kasumi angry. I predict it might be revealed around c25-c30. Oh yeah this was also the first time we got to see Kasumi’s side of things. Wait, there’s also the thing as to why did Haruki even want to team up with Kasumi? Lastly, we added Mowaso as our Proofreader because of some inconsistencies and mistakes we overlooked trying to rush these chapters out. He’s also the TL of some other series here on our website, please check them out too!
