The Pretty Girl Next to Me Asks Strange Questions Every Day

23 – Did you fight with Ina?

“Did you fight with Ina?”

At the end of the hallway where no one else goes.

Jia called me after school. With the words that I have something to say. And now, Jia leaned against her window and asked her question straight forward.

My answer is obvious.

“I didn’t fight. In the first place, Ina isn’t the type to fight anyone.”

There is no distinction between good and bad, and when opinions are in conflict, he takes a step back. Even if there is a request, I will not refuse it. There is no room for a quarrel. Even though I’m stubborn.

I stand by the window next to Jia and look at the scenery outside. The monsoon rain still continued and did not seem to stop.

“Then why?”

“What?”

“Isn’t it awkward with Ina?”

It seems that he managed to figure it out too.

A few days have passed since Ina came to my house. The next morning, Ina said goodbye to her family and went home. Nothing special has happened since.

But from that day on, I felt uncomfortable facing Ina.

Whenever I saw her face, a part of her heart felt stuffy. Emotions that are difficult to describe welled up. She didn’t particularly avoid Ina, but she must have felt it too.

It’s to the extent that she can clearly see it even in the eyes of her third party, Jia.

“It just happened.”

Something happened. But there was no way to explain it. Even I am confused as to when this happened. It was just a situation that had to be evaded.

However, Jia caressed her chin to see if there was a corner to squeeze.

“Perhaps because you are having a hard time talking.”

Then he looked sideways at me.

“Did you even sleep together?”

… ….

What, what? How are you not? Have you installed any buggers? Were you observing my every move? No, but why would you do that?

“Does it look real?”

She seemed embarrassed, so Jia asked with a slightly surprised expression.

“No, what is that… ….”

“Yes. It was like that.”

Jia nodded her head broadly.

“Are you finally climbing the adult stairs?”

“No. She didn’t come It’s still on the first floor.”

Fantastically step on the wrong leg. Apparently, there was no wiretapping. Then, did she exercise her intuition? Either way, he’s a scary guy.

Jia continued her words shaking her head up and down several times.

“I guess…… It was my first time, so I must have failed because I was too nervous.”

“What failure are you talking about?”

“That’s why my pride as a man collapsed. I couldn’t face Ina anymore. Is this the case?”

“If you’re going to talk nonsense, go.”

Jia snorted her.

“So you’re saying my guess is wrong?”

“It’s a guess, and it’s just completely imaginary.”

“Or what’s the matter?”

Jia asked as if it was nothing. It seems that he tried to induce his carelessness, but how could he fall for such a crude method?

“It’s just a personal matter.”

After answering like that, he glanced at me this time.

“Ina is having a hard time because of your personal problems, don’t you care?”

The tone was mixed with the intention of criticizing.

“What…… Not really.”

I know very well that it is right to organize your mind quickly.

Besides, next Monday is vacation. There were no plans to meet Ina during vacation, so there was not much time left to face Ina.

If I can’t answer my mind by then, our relationship will become distorted and hardened.

Jia let out a deep sigh.

“Why are you acting so frustrating? You should be honest.”

“You know what?”

“Are you going to confess or not, well, shouldn’t that be the case?”

“… ….”

Have you seen through to where our relationship has come?

I vaguely confided to Ina that she had feelings for her. It may be easy to read the subtle air currents flowing between us. Especially for Jia, who is quick-witted.

“What are you going to do if you lose it then?”

“Well, it might be because Ina is popular.”

A man greater than me approached Ina……. I don’t really want to imagine this.

However, Jia pointed at her forehead and said.

“Me too, of course.”

“But?”

As I urged her back, Jia made eye contact with me.

Looking straight at me. I don’t know the meaning of those eyes, but I felt like I was holding something inside.

Soon, Jia turned her face to the other side of me.

“Okay. Anyway, you better solve it soon. It’s vacation soon.”

“I didn’t fight, so there’s nothing to solve.”

“Then quickly recover your pride as a man.”

“For now, throw away that guess.”

Of course, Jia isn’t the type to joke around in this atmosphere. It was supposed to be just euphemistically insisting that I tell the situation out of my mouth.

What more could you hide from Jia, who found out everything? She decided to talk about the concerns she had been harboring all along.

“Over there.”

After taking the luck, let’s take a long breath.

“Why did Inana come to me?”

“Didn’t I already tell you that it doesn’t matter that much?”

“If Ina felt something in me.”

In that case.

“Becoming a little closer…… If you learn more about me, you might be disappointed.”

I am not a very good person.

If Ina had no reason to choose me, if Ina had a misunderstanding about me.

The moment her misunderstanding is resolved, Ina’s mind will change.

So wouldn’t it be better to keep this relationship for now?

This thought kept blocking my steps.

Jia stood still for a moment. She gave no answer, no reproach, no sneer in return. Was she brooding over something, or had nothing more to say.

After a while, Jia looked back at me.

“I don’t know how I ended up like this.”

“What?”

“Did I ever ask what you think about Ina?”

Are you talking about that time?

The time when rumors spread about my relationship with Ina. Instead of letting Ina know what she thought, Gia told her to pay her bill.

At the time, Jia requested that she be a bit eccentric.

‘All I want is to hear about everything I’ve been through with Inna.’

Please tell me all about Ina and what she went through. That was the fare Jia was talking about.

‘Why do you want to hear that?’

‘Well, as a love comedy maniac, you might want to hear the story of a love comedy between you and Ina.’

Jia handed over her proposal, adding reasons why she was not happy.

And I refused.

There wasn’t much reason. It was simply because I was reluctant to tell others what had happened between Ina and I.

Of course, the first time I asked Jia for advice, I told her some of it, but I couldn’t do it when she asked me to tell her everything.

“You asked me to tell you all about what happened with Inana?”

“Yes.”

“You said you couldn’t do that, right?”

“Okay. I’ll just tell you.”

Jia looks out of her window and says.

“Even if you don’t listen, I know very well that you love Ina more than anyone else.”

She continued Jia without looking at me.

What was the sudden change of heart? Or was it just a test to see how much I value Ina? I couldn’t figure it out.

Eventually, Jia took a deep breath and spoke her first words.

“She is an angelic child.”

It was a nickname I heard someday.

“I don’t say anything bad, and I don’t easily deny other people’s thoughts. If you have a disagreement, back off first and always think of others first.”

That was my sympathy. Many people in our school feel the same way. She was also one of the reasons why Ina is so popular.

“But, is that really a good thing?”

She poses a question as if to think about it.

She took a moment to organize her words and brought out what she usually felt.

“I don’t think so.”

“Why do you think so?”

“Because that means sacrificing me or myself.”

Shake your head.

“No. I don’t think so.”

So what? When she asked without words, Jia answered with a sharp cut.

“She doesn’t have herself to Ina.”

She has no self?

“What do you mean?”

“Isn’t the reason Ina cares so much about others, maybe it’s because she is just empty of herself?”

It is still difficult to understand. What does she mean by herself being empty?

“Let me give you an example. Have you ever seen Inna say that she likes something in class?”

Ina in the classroom.

I was always surrounded by people and often talked about various topics. Occasionally, she would ask if she liked something.

But looking back, she didn’t remember that Ina replied that she liked something. It was common for people to give half-hearted answers, such as ‘neither like nor dislike’, even when asked about their likes and dislikes.

“It doesn’t seem to exist.”

“Yes. That’s the point. That’s where I felt a little out of place.”

“A sense of incongruity?”

“Inna mixes well with other people, though.”

Jia swallowed her saliva and spoke softly.

“Isn’t that because Ina doesn’t have any color?”

“There is no color… ….”

In short, Ina wasn’t adjusting to other people.

Maybe she doesn’t like or dislike anything in the first place.

That’s what Jia is saying.

If you accept that.

Unlike other people, Ina showed various colors in front of me.

“But Ina, in front of you, looked a little different. Therefore… ….”

The afterword did not follow. But I got a sense of what I was going to say. Jia must have wanted to say something that pushed her back.

Jia stretched her body as if she felt refreshed.

“…… Of course, everything up to this point is purely my guess.”

“I know. Because that was the premise in the first place.”

But what can I say? I felt caught.

“But you can trust me. I’m a woman trained in light novels and romance comics.”

“What is the reason?”

“Isn’t that what a person who relies on such a person to the end would say?”

Well, that too.

“Thank you.”

When I honestly expressed my gratitude, Jia averted my eyes.

“Okay. Hurry and go to Ina.”

And this time, with a tone that seemed to push me away, Jia concluded her words.
