Unrequited Love

I was invited by my section chief to visit the Shooting Bar “Yamaneko.” By the way, a Shooting Bar is like a dart bar, but instead of darts, they use air guns.

“First, let’s cheers to a hard day’s work.”

“Yes, indeed!”

*Ching*♪

For starters, we ordered draft beer in glasses instead of mugs, as it’s customary at bars. As our glasses clinked together, a pleasant and high-pitched sound enveloped us.

Gulp, gulp, gulp!

Perhaps burdened by work stress, my section chief quickly downed the beer in one go, without removing the glass from her lips during the toast. And considering Miku’s affair with ren, I followed suit and drank at a faster pace than usual.

“More beer, please!”

We both handed our glasses to the bartender and couldn’t help but laugh together.

“You know, it might sound rude, but I can’t help but feel like we’re comrades, Section Chief.”

“What a coincidence, I feel the same! I don’t want to lose Yuzuki.”

“Me too. Please continue being my superior.”

“A superior, huh…”

The section chief’s tone, which was high-spirited until just now, suddenly dropped, and she slumped down on the counter table. Worried that I might have said something wrong, I hurriedly focused on praising her.

“Section Chief, you’re truly amazing. You bring everyone together and manage to achieve even the toughest targets.”

“I’m nothing special. It’s all thanks to Yuzuki. It’s tough… there are things I don’t want to tell anyone… Ugh, if I don’t say it, my section won’t function…”

The section chief, perhaps due to the effects of alcohol, became emotional, and tears started welling up in her eyes, even though I had just praised her.

“There were times when I was too harsh with everyone, and by the time I realized my mistake, no one would listen to me anymore. But Miku was able to convince them to listen to me. I can’t express how grateful I was to Miku back then…”

The section chief clung to me, holding onto my shoulder and arm. Seeing her vulnerable like this, with tears in her eyes, along with her distinctive beauty spot, she looked genuinely seductive.

Back then, our relationship was merely that of a superior and a subordinate. I muttered, “Even though I didn’t ask for it,” and got upset with Miku… I truly apologize. And thank you. If it weren’t for Miku, I wouldn’t be the person I am now.”

“Please don’t worry about it. In return, you’ve done a lot for me!”

“That’s just the kind of person I am… The reason I fell in love with Miku…”

Uncharacteristically, the section chief stammered, and I couldn’t quite catch what she said. Due to my fast pace of drinking, I accidentally ended up placing my hand over hers.

“I understand that the section chief is playing the role of the hated one for my sake!”

Not liking the touch, the section chief turned her face away and puffed up her cheeks.

“But Miku never understood my feelings, and I keep getting sad. Why does Miku keep making me cry…”

“Huh!?”

What does that mean?

I witnessed a sulking expression on my section chief’s face for the first time. The contrast between her usually composed self and her puffed-up cheeks was adorable… Her cuteness, combined with the fact that she revealed a side of herself that I had never heard before, left me bewildered.

“To tell you the truth, when everyone started pressuring me, I thought about quitting the company. But I stayed. Do you know why?”

“I… I don’t know…”

“It’s because Yuzuki was by my side. Thank you, Yuzuki. No matter what anyone says, you’re the best. It’s frustrating, but Hino feels the same… Everyone in our section, except Kagayama, thinks that way.”

“Hahaha, you’re joking again!”

“To be honest, I want to give everything I have, my body and soul, to Yuzuki… Maybe even stay at my place tonight… No, no, that would be cheating…”

*Buzz* *Buzz* *Buzz*

“Ah, I’m sorry, Section Chief.”

As I thought the section chief was just speaking in a flattering manner, her vibrating smartphone caught my attention, and I couldn’t make out what she was saying. Could it be an impolite client? I wondered as I checked, and the sensor seemed to confirm someone entering. The anti-loss tag I secretly placed in ren’s business bag was indicating my house.

No mistake about it!

Just as I had anticipated, Miku had summoned ren to my house, adding to the crime of infidelity.

How fitting! What a scoundrel.

Of course, she had no idea that I knew everything.

Without hesitation, I used my smartphone to power on the remotely set up camera. IoT is truly amazing!

“I’m sorry, Section Chief. I’ll step outside for a moment.”

“Ahh…”

Although I was tempted by the regretful expression on the section chief’s face, my desire for revenge against the two of them led me to the restroom.

Once inside the stall, I turned up the volume on my phone.

—–*Reeeeeeep* Beep, self-censorship sound.

—–“Miku, I won’t let you think about your senpai anymore. I’ll make you forget everything, hahaha!”

ren is such a fool!

You two will never be forgotten as the embarrassing couple publicly displaying your intercourse to the world. I’ll make sure of that!!!
