"So, it's Yamada-kun."
Watching the bustle, Tsushima Kagami suddenly recognized the person involved in the scene amidst the crowd.
Yukinoshita Shizuku asked curiously, "Is it someone you know?"
Tsushima Kagami nodded, looking at that conspicuous tuft of blond hair in the crowd.
"He's a classmate of mine. We've spoken a few times; he seems like a pretty nice guy."
Tsushima Kagami recalled that at the start of the school year, because he had reported in late, all the other students had already formed their own small circles. Whenever there were courses requiring group activities, Tsushima Kagami was always alone, but this Yamada Kenta would always proactively come over to help him out of his predicament.
When they had nothing to do, Tsushima Kagami would also chat with him about manga. He didn't expect to see him here today, and in such a terrible scenario at that.
Yukinoshita Shizuku nodded.
"Wh... What do you mean we're done?"
"You're lying, right? It's a prank, it must be a prank, right?"
Looking at Yamada Kenta's completely undignified appearance, practically begging for her to stay, the girl spoke with a hint of choking hesitation.
"Kenta, please don't make me say more things that will hurt you. I was very happy during the time I was with you, but as I thought, I still like Senpai. It's all my fault; I'm the one who let you down."
Yamada Kenta seemed to want to make one final struggle.
"Then why did you agree to date Senpai last night at the very same spot where we had our first date? You must still have me in your heart, right?"
"That was where I first met Senpai. So when we went on our first date, and you asked me where I wanted to go, I subconsciously said that place."
Hearing this, the crowd let out a collective gasp of amazement, followed by whispering amongst themselves.
Tsushima Kagami also looked at Yamada Kenta, whose expression was complicated, with a face full of pity.
"Then why did you use the lipstick I bought for you to kiss Senpai? And when you were together last night, you even called out my name!"
Yamada Kenta asked the girl again, unwilling to give up.
Hearing this, Tsushima Kagami slapped his own forehead. He couldn't bear to watch anymore.
Enough, Yamada-kun. Don't ask any more. Save yourself a shred of dignity.
If you keep asking, only hell awaits you ahead!
Can you hear it? Your blond hair is weeping!
The girl also seemed to have made a decision at this point. Finally, as if using all her strength, she blurted it out.
"Because Senpai said he hoped that you could have a sense of participation too!"
After saying this, the girl bowed, then ran out of the crowd without looking back.
The onlookers watched Yamada Kenta, who was left standing all alone and dazed by the roadside. Finally, shaking their heads and snickering, they dispersed one by one.
"Let's go too."
Seeing that everyone had scattered, Tsushima Kagami suggested they leave quickly.
Yukinoshita Shizuku, however, tugged at the corner of Tsushima Kagami's clothes.
"You said he's your classmate and that you're on good terms. Aren't you going to go up and comfort him?"
Tsushima Kagami looked again at Yamada Kenta, still standing there all alone.
"Better not. In a situation like this, Yamada-kun probably wouldn't want to be seen by his own classmate."
Although he said that, Tsushima Kagami hesitated for a moment before eventually walking towards Yamada Kenta.
"Yo, Yamada."
Hearing someone call him, Yamada Kenta looked over.
"Ah, so it's Yukinoshita."
"I let you see something laughable. I'm really sorry."
Seeing Yamada Kenta reveal an extremely complicated smile, Tsushima Kagami didn't know how to comfort him either.
He simply patted him on the shoulder.
"Let's go wash your face first."
...
Entering a nearby shopping mall, Tsushima Kagami let Yukinoshita Shizuku browse on her own first, while he took Yamada Kenta to the mall's public restroom.
"That kind of girl isn't worth it. Isn't life just fine without dating?"
Tsushima Kagami handed a tissue to Yamada Kenta, who had just rinsed his face, and offered words of comfort.
"Thanks."
Yamada Kenta took the tissue, wiped his wet face, and smiled bitterly.
"Perhaps this is the punishment I deserved."
"Why do you say that?"
Tsushima Kagami asked curiously.
Yamada Kenta hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke up.
"I like reading NTR genre manga."
"Huh? Just that?"
Tsushima Kagami patted Yamada Kenta's shoulder.
"NTR is indeed practical. Just use it to get off and be done with it; don't have such a strong sense of guilt."
"No, it's not like that!"
"At first, I also thought nothing would happen if I just watched a little bit."
Yamada Kenta suddenly covered his face in agony.
"But in the end, it spiraled out of control. I feel like I've slowly started to resonate with the cuckolds in the manga..."
"I don't know why, but I'm always attracted to girls who were abandoned by their exes, or the kind who are still entangled with their exes."
"And then, deep in my heart, there's always a faint expectation."
"Expecting my girlfriend to get back together with her ex. But the moment I think about it, my heart hurts and I feel terrible. Of course, I don't want such a thing to actually happen!"
"But the more I think about things I don't want to happen, the more they always happen."
"Ah, right, what's that law called again?"
Yamada Kenta, who was wearing a mask of pain just a moment ago, suddenly asked Tsushima Kagami with a face full of thirst for knowledge.
"Murphy's Law."
"Ah, right! Murphy's Law!"
"This must be the retribution for reading NTR."
"It's so painful. I don't want to be like this anymore."
As he spoke, Yamada Kenta covered his face again and began to sob.
Good lord, you didn't just get a punishment.
You got the Thunder... the Thunder of Thunder Bluff!
"Then try quitting it?"
"I tried. I can't quit!"
...
"I'm home."
After bidding farewell to Tsushima Kagami and his companion, Yamada Kenta returned home, went straight to his bedroom, and locked the door.
Sighing helplessly, he put down his backpack and took out the Kairakuten he had bought today.
Although Yui-chan broke up with me, I still have Kairakuten.
Sure enough, women, dating, and such things aren't suitable for me. As long as I have Kairakuten to keep me company, I'll be fine.
As Yamada Kenta thought this, he flipped open Kairakuten and cheered up when he saw the three characters for [Xuanyayi] in the table of contents.
I heard a long time ago that Teacher [Xuanyayi] was going to draw NTR. I've been looking forward to it for so long, and this time I can finally see it.
Yamada Kenta hurriedly flipped to the corresponding page number in the directory. After finding it, he slowly began to read.
As the alarm clock on the desk ticked away, time passed bit by bit.
Yamada Kenta's expression also underwent continuous changes.
From expectation, to a smile, to doubt, then to confusion, and finally turning into anger.
This isn't NTR at all!
Why would he draw this kind of stuff!
This is disrespect towards NTR enthusiasts!
Enraged, Yamada Kenta threw the Kairakuten in his hands directly to the side, then turned on the computer next to him.
He waited until he logged into a BBS he frequented, an exchange forum website established by NTR enthusiasts.
Usually, they would share various interesting NTR themes found in doujinshi and commercial magazines.
But after entering the webpage, Yamada Kenta went directly to the posting function.
The content was a crusade against [Xuanyayi] himself right from the start, and the title was even more eye-catching.
"Teacher Xuanyayi, have you ever been a cuckold? Drawing random nonsense, just assuming things!"
When Yamada Kenta finally let his emotions dissipate with the posting of this crusade, he picked up the Kairakuten again and flipped back to the page for Literature Girl.
As he read and read, Yamada Kenta remembered that he had also met his first love by helping her out of a predicament on a crowded train.
He couldn't help but touch his own blond hair.
Don't say it... this true male lead—the blondie—and the female lead are actually really sweet.
