About the Time When I Lied to My Tsundere Childhood Friend That “I Got a Girlfriend” chapter 1

It was an ordinary holiday.

I, Taiyo Amanohara, was lazily spending time with my childhood friend Yuzuki Kusuhara.

“Hey, Yuzuki.”

I called out to Yuzuki, who was sitting at the study desk in my room doing her assignments from school.

“…What is it?”

Yuzuki turned around.

“Nothing. I just wanted to call ya”

“What? What’s that …? I don’t have leisure time like you do. If you don’t need me, please don’t call me. … It’s hard to concentrate like this”

Yuzuki said this with an angry look on her face and returned to her studies.

‘𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦’. 𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦.

Wouldn’t you also think so? Normally, if you wanted to concentrate on something, you would do it at your own home.

But she didn’t go home. Because she was not really concentrating on anything. She kept glancing at me while studying.

𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩, 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦?

I thought to myself; however, it seemed that Yuzuki wasn’t going to do it after all.

The reason why she wasn’t going to do it was because My childhood friend was a tsundere. She was a girl who couldn’t be honest about her feelings.

I can’t believe I’m saying this ‒ Yuzuki is definitely in love with me. She’s a bit pushy, but she’ll do anything I ask her to do.

And of course I’m in love with Yuzuki too. I love her. I love her alot.

You might be thinking —Well, why don’t you just go ahead and tell her?

But I wanted to enjoy this moment a little bit more, you know.

For me, relationships were difficult to handle affairs. If I was going to be in a relationship with anyone, I would definitely want to get married.

That’s what I meant when I said I am in love with Yuzuki. It was different from your usual high school relationships.

I’m sure Yuzuki feels the same way.

I’m sure she would think so …?

I was a little nervous, so I decided to lie to Yuzuki that I was studying.

—𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥? 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥?

I wonder…

The fact that Yuzuki was a tsundere made me even more curious.

𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘦, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘵𝘴𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦, 𝘠𝘶𝘻𝘶𝘬𝘪, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯…

With this in mind, I immediately called out to Yuzuki.

“Hey Yuzuki…”

“… What? If you say ‘it’s nothing’ again. I’ll hit you, okay?”

Yuzuki said that while turning around.

“You know, I … I got a girlfriend.”

I said with a smile.

“… …”

Yuzuki was silent.

Instead, I heard the sound of the mechanical pencil falling from Yuzuki’s hand.
