 I Was Confessed To And Got Dumped, So I Devoted Myself To My Hobbies, But Things Somehow Got Out Of Hand? Chapter 14 

TL Note: Sorry for the late update, I was busy with my forklift certification(I passed) and then got a fever the same day, owing to the fact that someone in the same class had covid I had to get tested, and thankfully it came out negative, and now I am at home and able to pump out this chapter, I still feel a little sick, so sorry if the quality isn't that great.

Chapter 14: That day of the confession

Night.

When I arrived home, I ate dinner. 

Although I was asked by Yurie-san [Won’t you join us for dinner?], but with Toushirou-san still wearing the face of a demon, and the feeling of being pushed down by Konoha remaining, to the point that I couldn’t look her in the face, I decided to refuse. 

I feel bad for refusing her good will, but feeling the danger to my life, and the embarrassment, it couldn’t be helped.

Looking at twitter, I found that Amatsu Atsume-sensei posted a new tweet.

Title: Scream

On the right side was the figure of a young man singing and shining, and in contrast to that on the left were figures that looked like they were experiencing the despair of hearing about the end of the world.

Is this… about the karaoke today??

In the replies as well. 

[What’s with this illustration of horror?]

[What the heck happened in sensei’s private life…?]

[( 」´0`)」Oh nooo]

Were what they were saying, there were also a lot of comments worrying about Amatsu Atsume-sensei.

“Let’s pretend we didn’t see that.”

I ran away from reality.

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Let’s go back a little in time, to the time Haruto got dumped. 

[Ya-ho~ Mayuyun.]

“I dumped him.”

[Hoho, for you to dump a guy who didn’t even reply yet, you really are something Mayuyun.]

“What are you saying, it was just a punishment game, so it can’t be helped.”

[Ahaha, that’s true, but was it really alright to dump him without even waiting for a reply?]

“Why? Did I do something bad?”

[Nah, but isn’t he close to Kagari-kun? He might just complain about it to him.]

“Would he do something like that? I properly told him [Just pretend that I never confessed to you.] that’s why this whole thing is already over.”

[Mayuyun is also ill-natured, I think you should be more self-aware of that.]

“Did you say something?”

[Nah, Nothing~. You already have Sanjou-senpai anyways.]

“Well, he is a good source of money. Natsumi thinks so as well, right?”

[That’s true, he even paid for my share as well, it’s a huge help.]

“Fufu, We’ll be going to karaoke next time, but do you also want to come?”

[Karaoke sounds good, I’ll also go!]

“Ok, see you.”

[Yeah, good night!]

The girl cut the call, and stretched out on the bed.

“Fuwaa, I’m tired. Why am I doing something like a punishment game.”

She muttered, and closed her eyes.

“It’s exactly as Natsumi said, I think I did something bad to Haruto-kun, but… something like an obvious lie such as [Even though I liked Hiiragi-san.] I hate that.” 

The girl looked back on that day.

It was a common punishment game

The details were:

[Confess to a boy you are interested in.]

Unfortunately, the target of the girl who got tasked with the punishment game was a boy in the same class.

It was a quiet boy.

They were in the same preschool, so she knew his face.

She didn’t remember it immediately, but during the first day of school she felt like she'd seen him before.

But the boy didn’t remember her at all.

That made her very angry.

At the fact that, even though she remembered, he had no idea at all…

But, that was normal.

There were not a lot of people who would remember a small memory from over 9 years ago.

Ever since she entered highschool she was very popular with the boys.

Without caring about the grade level, she was confessed to countless times.

After being confessed to for who knows how many times, 2 years passed, and she got tasked with the punishment game.

At that time the thought suddenly came to her. 

[I’ve been confessed to a lot, but have I ever confessed to anyone?] 

After thinking for a few seconds, she came to a conclusion.

She has never once done so.

[But, if you don’t want to, you can refuse.]

I can refuse this punishment game, but since my friend told me to do it, I can’t refuse.

I felt bad for choosing this boy, but I don’t regret doing so. 

“I’ll add him as a friend through the group, and for the confession through LIME… I wonder how I should go about it.”

It’s just a punishment game after all.

I thought I should just randomly write it, and before I noticed I sent a very common confession.

[Sorry for suddenly messaging you, are you free right now?]

[Yo, Hiiragi-san, good evening, do you need something?]

[I, like Haruto-kun.]

[Eh?]

[I’ve liked you since a long time ago.]

[Isn’t it too sudden? It’s probably a punishment game or something right?]

[It’s true, I was really happy that we were in the same class.]

[I,Is that so? But why me?]

[You’re smart, and different from other boys, I think the quiet part of you is cool.]

[I,Is that so, thank you.]

[Will you go out with me…?]

[Hmm, it was so sudden that I’m confused, can I contact you again next time?]

[Un, I’ll be waiting for a good answer.]

The conversation ended there.

The girl took a screenshot of the conversation, and sent it immediately to her friend.

[Is this fine?]

[Uwahh, how bold!]

[Is it?]

[With this, I think the other side would also become conscious of you.]

[A boy who’d become conscious of me because of this, are they some kind of monkey?]

[Isn’t that too mean? Isn’t it Mayuyun’s first time confessing? You should be a bit more embarrassed.]

[I won’t be embarrassed about a person who I don’t even like.]

[I feel bad for Haruto-kun, what are you gonna do about the answer?]

[I’ll wait for a while, but if it’s too late, a better person might appear.]

[So mean-!]

After that they had some meaningless talk, and the day ended.

1 day, 2 days… she waited for the boy’s answer, but it didn’t come at all.

[Hey-, I’ve been waiting for 4 days now, though?]

[It still hasn’t come?]

[As expected, it’s way too slow.]

[Isn’t he thinking about it too hard?]

[That aside, I got confessed to by Sanjou-senpai a while ago.]

[By Sanjou-senpai, isn’t he the soccer club’s ace!? That’s amazing.]

[I was also surprised. To think I would receive a confession from a person like that.]

[Did you already reply to him?]

[Not yet. I still haven’t received a reply from Haruto-kun yet. But I did get an invitation from senpai for a date.]

[Isn’t that fine? Why don’t you try going?]

[That’s right, I’ll try going.]

ーーーーーー

[So how was it?]

[It was fun. He bought me a bunch of stuff.]

[Isn’t he a good source of money?]

[Isn’t he? I’m thinking it’s fine to go out with him.]

[Uwah, what a gold digger.]

[Since he won’t reply no matter how much I wait, I’ll dump him from my side.]

[I feel bad for Haruto-kun.]

[Yes, Yes, say what you want.]

And then, time progressed to the day that Haruto was dumped.

The girl did not notice.

That the boy sent her several messages.

But, with messages from her other friends arriving, it was buried and she never noticed.

If the boy responded faster, what would have happened… No one could ever tell.
