Chapter 3: Promise of a Distant Day

I lay in bed, zoning out at the ceiling. It was Saturday. Miori’s face flashed through my head. If I let my mind wander, she was all that occupied my thoughts. That was just how shocking her words had been. I’d never imagined that she was in love with me. Now that I looked back on the time we’d spent together, I realized there had been many opportunities for me to pick up on her feelings.

“You’d better decide soon too, okay?”

“You’re Hikari-chan’s boyfriend, and I’m Reita-kun’s girlfriend. We’ve both hit our marks.”

“What would you do...if I told you I love you?”

“Miori-san, you love Haibara-kun, right?”

But even so, I had remained unaware due to my unconscious assumptions. As my childhood friend, Miori knew the true me very well. She knew that I was an unreliable coward. That was why I’d believed she was the only person who definitely wouldn’t fall in love with me.

“I’m such a dumbass,” I muttered.

I’d gone to Miori for love advice all this time. She’d helped me make my love for Hikari come true. And after we’d gotten together, I’d continued turning to Miori for advice.

How did she feel? The person she loved talked to her about someone else he loved and asked her to give him a hand. What emotions was she hiding underneath her smile? We’ve cleared up the nasty rumors, but I don’t have a clue what’s going through her head. It wasn’t the rumor that drove her to skip school for multiple days. If you trace the problem back to its roots, it’s my fault.

I thought she wanted to date Reita, so I tried to help with her schemes to get closer to him. I’m sure she was serious about him in the beginning. And she got closer to him by leaps and bounds. But after summer ended, Miori’s offensive slowed. I knew Reita was interested in Miori too, so that should’ve been the perfect time for her to close the gap.

I should’ve noticed her change of heart. I’m the closest one to her, after all. Instead, I remained ignorant and forced her to continue when she’d already come to a stop. I completely missed what her true desire was.

“‘Rainbow-Colored Youth Plan,’ my ass.”

I cornered the person who helped me the most. That can never be called a success. But even if I push my way in now, I doubt I can help Miori. I can’t conduct myself brilliantly like Reita either. He was like a hero at that moment. I could go my entire life and never be able to copy that. Why does Miori love someone like me and not him?

No... There’s no point thinking about that. This is another result of my change. Miori fell for me because I changed myself in my second round. That in and of itself is something to be thrilled about. If I weren’t dating Hikari, and Miori weren’t dating Reita, that is.

Suddenly, a memory from the past—or rather, the future—rekindled in my mind.
