For Some Reason, My Ex-girlfriend, Who Lost Interest in Me, and My Current Girlfriend, Whom I’ve Kno

“Not your boyfriend? Um, I’m sorry. I guess I’m not very bright. I don’t understand at all.”

Well, of course I don’t! Do you have any idea how many turn of events I’ve seen in the last couple of hours?

Just so we’re clear, the first report was “Natsukawa was dumped by her boyfriend Kengo Ohashi” by Komori, right?

That alone was shocking, but what awaited us after school was Natsukawa’s comment, “Actually, I’m dating Kengo Ohashi.”

Yes, nothing makes sense at this point~~! I can’t possibly understand it with my lacking brain.

And the final blow was just now, “But Kengo isn’t my boyfriend, though?”

What’s all this? Natsukawa’s purpose and true intentions are too mysterious.

“Kengo Ohashi is just a spark. He’s just fuel to make Komori-kun, no–Shota-kun jealous.”

Stop, stop, stoppppp!!! I’m begging you, please don’t talk anymore!

I mean, she’s speaking Japanese to me right now, right? Not some kind of twisted language?

Let’s abandon my thoughts for a moment… Hah~. It can’t be helped.

I’ll let my brain work at full capacity. Otherwise, we won’t be able to get anywhere.

First of all, the first report. This must be some kind of mistake, considering Natsukawa’s true intentions.

Komori must’ve witnessed something that made him believe so.

Next, what was the scene that made him believe so?

I can’t imagine this one at all. Well, I guess it was probably something that made people think it was a love affair.

For example, Natsukawa crying to Ohashi.

And here’s where things start to get a little complicated.

“Actually, I’m dating Kengo Ohashi.”

“Kengo Ohashi is just a spark. He’s just fuel to make Komori-kun, no–Shota-kun jealous.”

Let me make a guess based on these two things.

First of all, as soon as Natsukawa was alone with me, she told me that Ohashi was not her boyfriend.

It’s reasonable to assume that this was Natsukawa’s way of showing off her pairing with Ohashi to Komori.

The proof is Natsukawa’s own statement that he is ‘just a spark.’

And that the purpose was exactly “to make Komori jealous”…

…No, wait. Although I’ve forced myself to assemble everything in a convincing way, I just can’t understand why they are trying to make Komori jealous.

Throwing a guy with an outward appearance and high specs in front of Komori, it’s counterproductive no matter how you look at it, right?

And there’s no way the genius Natsukawa wouldn’t know that… That means I still overlooked something–

“–Takamine-san, you were beside him so you saw it, didn’t you? His face and tone of voice distorted with jealousy.”

You’re kidding?! I didn’t overlook anything?! And what’s with the face and tone of voice distorted with jealousy?!

He was angry no matter how you look at it! Give me a break, seriously!

Ah, mou~~. I’m sure, I’m convinced now!

This is what they mean when they say that geniuses are often weirdos.

They are called geniuses because they come up with ideas that ordinary people would never think of.

Until now, I’ve been envious of people like Natsukawa, whom I could never reach with my efforts… But thank you. Today I think I can graduate from my yearning and jealousy. I never want to be a woman like her!
