---------------------------------------------------------------
γDonβt get cocky, you bitch.γ
I hear hurried footsteps as I turn around to see the back of the girl who was the most likely culprit.
I sigh as she leaves my line of sight. π§rπ²πππ¦ππoΞ½πl.ππΌm
Itβs been about two weeks since Michelβs shocking confession.
In the school grounds, Iβve been facing the wrath of girls whom I donβt know. Theyβve been harassing me with insults and hate letters.
The senses of girls in love are too strong.
Itβs as if they activated their love sensors and sensed what happened between me and Michel.
Itβs not like Michel has been telling everyone, and the same goes for Mizuhara and Nonomiya-san.
How did they find outβ¦β¦ I ask myself.
Michelβs attitude hasnβt changed from beforeβ¦ I think.
But I may have been acting a little awkward⦠I think.
Itβs a little hard to believe, but Michel likes me. But I rejected him because my feelings toward him have changed.
He said that he wonβt give up.
β¦β¦How should I react to this situation? How should I approach Michel?
Since then, Iβve been feeling nervous when speaking to Michel.
In turn, Michel seems to know how Iβm feeling, and tries to behave normally.
And then.
γMy apologies, Sagiri-san. I have caused trouble for youβ¦β¦ I do feel bad about itβ¦ but I also feel happy that you are aware of how I feel about youβ¦β¦γ
Heβs been saying such things that are giving me a heart attack. Please stop, I feel like Iβm going to vomit blood.
Maybe his awkwardness is giving it away.
γSagiri, are you listening?γ
Iβm drawing up plans with my friends for our graduation trip. Theyβve stopped their discussion and are looking at me.
γOh, sorry. What were you saying?γ
Even though weβre talking about our once-in-a-lifetime graduation trip, Iβm getting preoccupied with Michel. Itβs because weβre going to France.
I brush my thoughts aside and pretend nothingβs wrong while reaching out for the listing magazine for cafes in Paris.
γDid something happen with the prince?γ
They hit the nail.
γβ¦β¦γ
A moment of silence.
γβ¦β¦Huh?! W-wh-why?!γ
γYouβre reacting so strongly. Obviously somethingβs up!γ
They look at each other.
γWhy are you suddenly bringing up Michel?γ
I couldnβt hide my surprise that they got it right.
I bend over to pick up the listing magazine I dropped, but I end up hitting the desk, causing more things to fall.
γSagiriβ¦β¦ Have you seen the magazine that featured the Prince?γ
γHuh? Yeah, why?γ
Theyβre referring to the popular magazine with the Christmas special, which the club members were reading.
The photos of a mature-looking Michel glancing away from the camera instead of his usual gentle self are in it.
γNothing comes to your mind when you see it?γ
γHuh? β¦β¦Umβ¦ Well, the quality of the pictures taken by a professional cameraman are really different.γ
γI mean, it says in the article that youβre his kind of girl.γ
γβ¦β¦Huh?γ
Iβm his type??
Michel took the magazine away, so I only saw the pictures.
Was it written there? Iβm his type?
Overwhelmed by the situation, I sigh while my friends tell me about the article.
Following the flow of the conversation, they ask me about the details.
I tell them honestly about Michelβs confession. They donβt seem surprised. Itβs as if they expected it.
Iβm the one surprised by their reaction.
γWell, remember when we couldnβt decide on which museum to go to in France? You sent him a message asking for recommendations, and he said he was free so he came in person. It was his behavior at that time.γ π§ππ¦πwππnovπ¦πΉ.πoπΆ
γIt was so obvious.γ
Theyβre all nodding in agreement. Umβ¦β¦ which part of it was obvious?
γOver a year ago, he said that he liked you, right? Or did you not know?γ
γβ¦β¦I didnβt. Michelβs always kind to everyone, and I never knew he felt anything special for meβ¦β¦. Only that Iβve been a reliable senior within the club.γ
γAre you sure itβs just because you never noticed?γ
Theyβre looking at me in amazement.
No, Michel never showed any indication⦠I think.
γYouβre so clueless.γ
γIβm not sharp, but I donβt think Iβm clueless.γ
All three of them are looking at me in disbelief.
γThen did you know that the lovey dovey couple Hosoda-kun and Nishimura-san broke up?γ
Hosoda-kun and Nishimura-san are our Elective Language classmates.
Itβs mandatory for us to learn a language, choosing between English, Chinese, German, and French. We chose French because we were going to France, and we became friends with them in class.
γItβs because Hosoda-kun is getting a job away from town.γ
γLong-distance relationships are tough, especially for new employees.γ
γIf only they waited until graduation. Itβs so awkward in class now.γ
γβ¦β¦γ
I ask them if they knew, and they answer that it was obvious.
Since when were they dating?!
This is bad. I never knew I was so oblivious.
Just as I buried myself in my thoughts, they told me that I wouldnβt be oblivious if I knew I was oblivious. That blew my mind even more.
γBut hey, itβs easier to get through in modern society the more clueless you are.γ
γThey say that you wonβt get stressed as much.γ
Theyβre trying to comfort me, but I think itβs a completely different matter from romance.
