The Pretty Girl Next to Me Asks Strange Questions Every Day

24 – You said you had something to say after school?

The next day, after school, it was insolvent.

Today too, not a single member came. There was no reason to come to the insolvent room in the first place because the newspaper was not published before vacation. In other words, Ina and I are special cases.

Therefore, the stale room has the same atmosphere as usual…… There is no work.

Somehow, both I and Ina were unnaturally looking away for a while, just passing the time.

The past few days, whenever I met Ina, I felt awkward. Because of my worries, I was a little reluctant to face Ina.

And that concern was resolved to some extent with the help of Jia. Even if it didn’t completely resolve it, it should have regained her sense of direction.

But I couldn’t help but feel awkward.

That’s right, from now on I’m heading towards Ina.

Because I intend to pour out my heart.

“Me, over there.”

A muttering voice flowed from Ina’s mouth.

“Didn’t you say you had something to say after school?”

“Ah, yes. Okay.”

Looking at Ina’s expression, she might have understood what she was going to say from now on. Because she has been confessed to by numerous men so far.

She said, but even if she already knew, it was something she had to say.

I gulped her saliva, took a deep breath, and cleared her mind.

“Um, over there… ….”

“I’m sorry.”

…… Sorry?

“What are you sorry about?”

“Well, the other day I went home on my own and…… Aren’t you a little angry?”

Have you ever been mistaken?

They slowly raise their eyes and look at me. It is a cautious attitude, like a scolded child.

“I’m not angry. Although I was surprised.”

At first, I wondered what was going on, but I wasn’t angry. Moreover, even if he was angry, the target was not Ina. It will be towards my older sister who has done all of her work.

“Really?”

Ina asked back as if she was still worried. It seems that I made you worry for nothing because I was frustrated.

“Really.”

“Yes. I’m glad then…….”

“And that’s not what I mean.”

Ina jerked her head up to face me. Maybe she just noticed her.

Then, let’s start with this.

“We were making a bet, right?”

“Oh, yes.”

“Actually, I mean. I don’t know yet.”

In order to give hints, Inna came to my house, took her to her house, or made a phone call. But she had no income whatsoever.

All I found out was that Ina showed a serious side from time to time.

“Well, I will. Actually, it’s not that special…….”

“Still, I made my own guesses.”

I stopped Ina who was about to give her answer.

What should I say? I think there were clues. In short, she was like that if you think of Ina when she put on her serious face unlike usual.

The moment Ina showed a different side.

When she first said she wished she would notice herself.

And the second time, when she read my scrapbook of articles.

“Could you…… Did you come to me after reading the articles I wrote?”

Ina turned her attention to a corner of her desk. It is difficult to know whether the answer is correct or incorrect.

Well, that’s the most likely answer for me. I had set the deadline until the end of this semester, so I couldn’t afford to procrastinate.

After some time passed, Inna met her eyes with mine.

“Right.”

Is this the correct answer?

“You finally figured it out.”

“I took it halfway.”

The biggest hint was when I first met Ina.

At that time, she found out that I was a member of the newspaper club. To put it simply, it was better to understand that I found out about my existence by reading the newspaper.

Well then, let’s move on to the next step.

“So?”

“Huh?”

I was about to take the steps I had prepared, but Ina tilted her head and looked at me.

“Even though I read your article and approached you. Wouldn’t that be all?”

“Eh, isn’t it?”

“Of course not. There are other members, so why did it have to be me, didn’t you think the same?”

Surprisingly, I haven’t.

There are a few more people who write articles for the newspaper, and there are several men among them. In the first place, if someone reads a newspaper article and is interested in it, there is no reason why it should be our school paper.

Since he was making a stupid face, Ina chuckled.

“Still, I had a hard time. I think it’s amazing that you’ve noticed this far.”

“Well, that’s great.”

“Then, for you who have noticed this far, I will tell you a little bit.”

She had stopped laughing before she knew it.

What are you trying to tell me? While waiting for the words to follow, Ina quietly got up and moved to the window. Then he added a soft word.

“About me.”

With a serious face she often showed.

“My house is. To be honest, it’s a family that doesn’t get along very well.”

A house with a bad relationship. She or her own family relationships were summarized in such words.

“I think I was fine until I was very young. I also have vague memories of going on a family trip with her parents.”

“Um.”

As she was at a loss as to what to respond to, she gave Ina a smile. Do you care about me even while talking about this?

Ina continued her explanation.

“Then, when I was six years old, it seemed that something went wrong.”

“A problem?”

“I don’t know what happened. But what…… If you listen to the words that come out while the two are fighting, you can get a rough idea…….”

“Well, yes.”

While the two fight……. Well, in short, does this mean that Ina, after hearing the words that came out of the middle of a quarrel between the couple, knew about it?

It is not good to be interested in other people’s family affairs. She decided not to wonder anymore.

“Of course, Mom and Dad do their part as parents for her. And there is nothing to harm me. So, I haven’t had any trouble so far.”

Shows a grin.

But that’s okay. She says she eats her own meals several times a week. She often seemed to be there when her parents didn’t come back until late at night.

It would be difficult to say that I did not suffer.

“Besides that. I’m a little, because I’m fine as a child. Studying well, that, a little, um… ….”

“Looks and personality.”

“Ah, yes… ….”

No matter how selfish I am, it seems embarrassing to say it with my own mouth.

However, Ina touched her mouth to see if there was a snag.

“You said you liked my personality, but actually I am.”

She said with her eyes closed.

“I don’t know who I am.”

“…… I don’t know who you are?”

“Right.”

Ina nodded.

“Ever since the two of us grew apart, I tried to avoid causing trouble whenever possible. I also studied hard. I tried not to say anything bad…… I think I’ve been nice to myself.”

Ina is a good kid. It was a common perception of all of these schools. It was also the reason why it was so popular with people.

But Jia said that would never be a good thing.

As she said, Ina seemed to be having ups and downs.

“That’s why. Thank you for always being with me, even if it’s because of my mom or dad… …. In the end, I thought that if only I did well, my family would not fall apart.”

You won’t break, Rani. Could Ina have been preventing the family from collapsing with her small body?

What if the two of you decide to separate and end up living with one of them? You might be happier that way. But at least Ina sacrificed herself and chose not to do that.

Ina smiled bitterly.

“I had been living like that until one day, I suddenly realized.”

It was a somewhat cracked voice.

“What I really like…… What do you want to do……. The fact that you didn’t know anything about it.”

Looking into the sky, it seemed as if he was staring somewhere far away.

“I tried to live as a good child, so I became a good child in my own way… ….”

When family circumstances are difficult, things go awry for some. Even looking back at middle school, there were definitely kids who fell into bad ways.

Ina’s case was the exact opposite.

Created a good boy as a means to tie her parents together. Then, in the end, she couldn’t hold anything about herself or herself.

“… ….”

It was difficult to even breathe because of the heavier talk than I thought. She

Didn’t think it was this deep. But as she listened, it felt like the pieces of a puzzle were put together.

A personality that is not hated by anyone.

The vague answer she gives back when asked if she likes something.

A room that was unnaturally ordinary.

The point of wanting to call me at night.

If I had been genuinely curious about Ina, this is something I might have noticed. In fact, she didn’t notice at least one aspect of Jia.

I was doing all the hard work with this slender body. I didn’t know a bit

“Then. I saw it by chance.”

Ina’s mouth opened again.

“What?”

“What is it? Are you talking about your knight?”

“Uh… ….”

That’s right. Now she was in the middle of explaining why she saw my article and came to me.

“At first, I read it because I was bored. But after reading your article, I thought it was strange. I can feel her willingness to convey what she thinks.”

“Um, is that so?”

“She never denies what she likes, and she feels like there are no lies in her feelings.”

“…… Okay.”

“Yes. So that’s it. I thought that a child in the same grade as me at the same school is so different from me.”

I don’t think the writing was good enough to receive this kind of appreciation.

However, because my older sister was the manager, I wrote a few more than the others, and there were only a few editorials with my thoughts in addition to school-related articles.

And most of all, I’m not a person who doesn’t deny what I like or don’t lie in my feelings. I couldn’t get my heart out to Ina until just yesterday. It can’t be.

As expected, Ina…… You are misunderstanding me.

Anyway, Ina’s explanation continued.

“What I felt after reading that… ….”

After a while, Ina looked straight into my eyes.

I moved my lips slowly.

“Jealousy, I think.”

“…… Jealousy?”

I made a dumbfounded voice at an unexpected word.

“Yes. Or it could be envy or envy.”

“In envy, envy?”

“Of course not. I don’t know what I like or dislike, but I can’t believe that there is someone who can express his thoughts like this. Aren’t you supposed to be envious?”

“Is that so?”

“I see.”

I’m sure, but um, I’m not sure.

Raising the corners of her mouth, Ina said happily.

“At that moment, I was surprised.”

Then she grinned this time.

“I think I can have this kind of heart.”

But in a way that was never playful.

“I was surprised that you were jealous when you saw me, is this it?”

“Um~ is that so? In other words, you made me a bad boy.”

“Wasn’t the meaning different because you said it too differently?”

“Then, by saying you made a child.”

“You omitted too many words.”

The serious look he had until now quickly disappeared. Suddenly she returned to her usual playful expression and started teasing me. As always, he’s such an unpredictable guy.

“So.”

Looking into my eyes gently, Ina finished.

“I was curious about you, and decided to approach you slowly. It was like that. End.”

After that, it’s probably going to lead to Ina I’ve seen.

At first, we weren’t very close. At some point, we started to have a comfortable conversation. After the midterm exam, Inaro started to approach me more actively.

I finally felt that I knew a side of Ina that I hadn’t known before.

“Then.”

I thought the story was over, but I’m talking again.

“Huh?”

“Here, in the newspaper department. Talking to you, and cracking jokes from time to time.”

Make eye contact.

“I look a little different in front of you…… Other emotions seemed to come out.”

A different look?

Ina was talking behind her back with the palms of both her hands resting on her chest. Before long she caught her breath.

“I feel better when I see you.”

As if she was trying to convey her own feelings.

“I keep wanting to talk to you.”

She seems to be trying to express her feelings.

“And I just wanted to play a joke.”

Word by word, I spat out her words.

“Over there.”

Ina said this far and paused.

My cheeks were red. Her eyes fluttered, and I could see her body twitching and trembling everywhere.

Soon after, the pale pink lips opened slowly.

“What should I call this heart?”

She, as usual, asked the odd question.

Unlike her usual look, it wasn’t a mischievous look.

And it’s like…… It seemed to be demanding an answer from me.
