Vol. 1 Chapter 1.1 – Prologue

〈……I’m sorry, Souta-kun.〉

I’ve fallen in love with someone else──.

It was after school one day, about a month after we entered high school.

I had just received that shocking coming-out from the girlfriend I had been dating.

“S-Say it isn’t true, Ena-chan!?”

There had been absolutely no warning. Just yesterday, we had even gone on a friendly date after school.

And yet, today, she suddenly called me out of nowhere and said,『I’ve fallen in love with someone else』?

This was exactly what people meant by a bolt from the blue.

“N-No way, haha! Suddenly making a joke like that, Ena-chan, you really do have a mischievous side……”

〈I’m sorry. But this isn’t a joke, or, um, a prank…… It’s nothing like that.〉

Her voice over the phone sounded like it was trembling a little.

Whoa, whoa…… seriously?

Even if she suddenly told me something like that, I had no idea what I was supposed to do.

In the plaza in front of the station, where people were busily coming and going, I stood there pokan with my smartphone still pressed to my ear.

“W-What do you mean!? Did I do something to make you angry, Ena-chan? If there’s something wrong with me, tell me! I’ll do everything I can to fix it! So please!”

〈──Umm. Sorry to interrupt while you’re getting worked up, okay?〉

Suddenly, a husky woman’s voice came from over the phone. It wasn’t Ena-chan’s voice.

Startled, I instinctively pulled the smartphone away from my ear, and just then, the screen switched to video call mode.

“……Huh?”

When I answered, of course, my girlfriend was there on the other side of the screen.

Satomori Ena-chan. The first girlfriend I had ever had in my life. If it weren’t for this situation, I would have wanted to just keep happily chatting with her like this.

But more than that, my eyes were drawn to the girl standing beside her.

〈Oh, looks like it connected. Yoo-hoo, boyfriend-kun. Are you watching?〉

The girl who said that and waved at me through the screen looked familiar.

Slightly bluish, loosely wavy, longish short hair. Though her eyes had a slightly half-lidded look, both were large and wide, with clear jade-green pupils like emeralds. Even though she didn’t look like she was wearing any makeup at all, she had a androgynous face with sharply defined features.

To put it simply, she was an incredibly good-looking beautiful girl with a transparent, airy atmosphere.

“Mi…… Mizushima Shizuno!?”

〈Ooh. You know me?〉

Know her or not, she was so famous there probably wasn’t anyone at this school who didn’t know her.

Mizushima Shizuno──with looks so refined it was hard to believe she was a high school student, and an honor student who excelled in both academics and sports. Her figure was outstanding too, and apparently she actually worked as a magazine model and stuff.

Her Instagram account supposedly had tens of thousands of followers, mostly teenagers. She was truly the kind of person you could call a charismatic figure for the teen generation.

Because of her cool beauty, boyish appearance, and way of speaking and acting, she was hugely popular not only with boys, but also with girls, who called her things like 『ikemen』and『the kind of person I’d want as my boyfriend』.

“W-Why are you……?”

Exactly. A charismatic JK like her, who seemed to live in a completely different world from us.

Why was she together with Ena-chan?

〈Hmm. Well, basically…… I guess it means this.〉

Saying that, the handsome girl Mizushima pulled Ena-chan, who was standing beside her, close by the shoulder with a gui.

“Wha!? D-Don’t tell me……!”

〈That’s right. The『someone else』your girlfriend said she liked was none other than me～〉

〈G-Geez, Shizuno…… This is embarrassing.〉

Ena-chan, whose shoulder was being held, blushed.

No way! Even I, her boyfriend, still hadn’t properly hugged her yet!

〈So, that’s how it is…… Please just cleanly for…… forget about me, Souta-kun.〉

“E-Ena-chan? I……”

Even though her words caught faintly in her throat, she said it coldly and I tried to call out to her as if clinging to hope.

〈Are you done talking? Then, we’re going on a date now. So I’m hanging up soon. Bye-bye, boyfriend-kun…… no, ex-boyfriend-kun?〉

“H-Hey! Wait a sec-”

Beep, beep, beep……

The call was mercilessly cut off.

Feeling as if I were watching a bad dream, all I could do was stand there in a daze.

Sakuhara Souta, fifteen years old.

Spring of my first year of high school.

My first girlfriend in life was stolen away by a popular model and handsome girl from the same school.
