The Cool Tsukishiro-san Is Only Cute Towards Me – Chapter 1 Part 2
Emi-chan, aka Yamada, after being asked like that, at first she said 「eh~」 as if it was vague, but when she realized that I was standing near the door, she made a surprised face and said something high.
“How did that happen! Disgusting!”
At the time, the word [disgusting] was very popular with the girls in the class, who would say [awful] many times whenever something happened. Of course, when there are insects, there will be [disgusting], or male teachers will say [disgusting] whenever something happens, the fried bread in the rice is also called [disgusting].
However, they don’t say it to their peers. Of course. Words that convey such disgust without a valid reason, even showing a little respect to the other party, should not be said. Moreover, with peers, do not joke. The ones their peers say include those who hurl insects at others or perverts who look like criminals when they lick a needle-stick crayon owned by girls.
However, many of the girls recognized me from Yamada’s gaze, after making surprised faces at the same time, shouted ‘Kyaa~’ and started doing a [disgusting] grand chorus together.
Disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting. Disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting.
It was like a flock of birds gathered at the beach.
But disgusting birds.
The disgusting birds are performing the ritual. The suspicion tried to erase me with countless spells.
The girls shouted in various voices that were excited. Somewhere there was even cheerfulness.
I wanted to go back to class to get my bag but kept coming back.
Because the one who was brought up on the topic was me by chance, maybe Yamada became embarrassed and uttered that word.
The other girls probably, after becoming excited by the situation, just shouted out the word [disgusting] that was in vogue but with the meaning of [stop dying] or [stop it].
I was about to think so.
But is that the case?
I went to the washroom and looked in the mirror.
It is tough to make an objective decision about your face.
Until now, I always thought it was expected, but maybe my face is hideous and painful. That skepticism rekindled.
When I tried to think that way, I felt that the cause of the other girls’ inexplicable actions and words seemed to come from it.
When I was a medical committee member, I was once refused when a teacher told me to take a female friend with a stomachache to the infirmary. She said「female friends are fine」and I was stubbornly rejected.
Is that because I was terrible?
There was one morning when I was the first to arrive at class, followed by two girls who came and talked, and as soon as another girl came, they went over there and hid from me what was going on. Speak.
Is it because I don’t want people to know what I’m talking about?
There was also a time when I went to buy things, and the sister in the convenience store looked at me and smiled.
I thought it was because I bought a lot of umaibou, but did she laugh at me.
Remind to remember.
The same thing with this so is this. Gradually doubts arose.
Even if it’s terrible, hasn’t anyone told me directly until now.
With that in mind, all interpretations of the event flow to the other side, fitting in precisely.
Maybe if it was someone else, laugh it off to dispel the sadness.
However, the event that coincided with my maturation and budding self-consciousness was enough for me to change my perception of the world.
I already realized.
It looks like I was disgusted.
The first time that I know about it.
But, at the same time, I was thinking.
How do you say that? In the end, there’s something wrong with them. Wouldn’t that creature with a girl’s name on it laugh on the the thing it was born with that was even worse.
I decided to attend a private all-boys high school nearby.
Those high school days that had nothing to do with girls were fun and peaceful.
However, because the boys’ high school affiliated with too few students had to close, and the parents approved the school after considering my academic performance, the distance for me to study, this is a typical school. Both male and female. After three years, I was once again pulled into a space filled with scary girls.
And while avoiding that, a void was formed, and the distrust of women that had hardened inside me completely swelled.
Most boys and girls are probably the same people and just different genders, but it was different for me. Since elementary school, I could only perceive the high school girls who had upgraded their [Girlfriend] as mysterious monsters. In short, I do not want to be involved.
Even among them, I was scared of Tsukishiro.
My childhood friend Tsukishiro Aoi that I was close to in the past, is a little girl who is a bit shy and gentle.
Inside of me, only she at that time was a creature other than the [girl] that needed to be avoided.
After meeting again, she has become an annoying girl who despises the most boring boys.
The 「heart that believes in women」 that remained at the bottom of my heart when I relied on the young Tsukishiro as my support was further dissipated from that wholly changed appearance.
