The Reason to Love the Worst Man

"Why did I become so gyaru-like? Do you understand?"

"Isn't that your original personality?"

"No, it's different. When we first met, I had black hair, remember? You've probably forgotten."

Chapter 312: The Reason to Love the Worst Man

"Why did I become so gyaru-like? Do you understand?"

"Isn't that your original personality?"

"No, it's different. When we first met, I had black hair, remember? You've probably forgotten."

"..."

"It's okay, really. I won't forgive you just because you look apologetic now. I won't pamper you with that level of guilt."

"I didn't ask to be pampered!"

"Your face is saying something else... Well, never mind. Anyway, the reason I acted all gyaru-like was, of course, for your sake."

"Huh? I didn't ask you to become a gyaru."

"Ugh. Your 'I didn't do anything wrong' attitude is really annoying. You said you liked 'flashy hair’, so I dyed my hair blonde and adjusted my personality to match... doesn't that make sense?"

"...Hey. I didn't say 'become a gyaru for me.' You're just misinterpreting things."

"Haha, you're right about that... Why did I even think, 'let's become a gyaru'? Well, if I kept my black hair, I'd look too much like Azu-chan and Yuzu-chan, so maybe I did it to differentiate myself."

"--In short, you're blaming me for becoming gyaru-like?"

"Yeah, that's what I want to convey."

"...So, your natural personality is far from being a gyaru, right?"

"You finally realized? I'm not a bubbly girl. I'd rather stay quiet than chat."

"Really? I didn't see any signs of that."

"It's true. I'm not flashy at all. I like fashion, but I prefer books and manga. I'm more of an otaku."

"--I didn't know that."

Well, that makes sense because Ryoma Ryuzaki doesn't really know much about Kirari Asakura.

After a lengthy conversation, Kirari finally sighed.

"Phew... This is tiring. I never expected we'd be having this kind of conversation now."

It's been almost a year since they first met.

And in the early days, they spent the whole day together.

Normally, with that much time spent together, they should have understood each other well.

However, Ryoma didn't understand her despite all this time.

"It's surprising... Kirari, you're really like that."

"Ryoma Ryuzaki doesn't know anything about Kirari Asakura, huh."

Instead of looking sad at Ryoma's surprise, she didn't.

In fact, Kirari seemed somewhat happy and was smiling.

"Ah... Normally, someone as insensitive as you should irritate me. Why don't you understand me? You should be yelling something like that and feeling disappointed, but even at a time like this, I can't help but be happy that you see me properly."

Up until now, she had realized the emptiness of trying to convey her feelings and how meaningless it was. But her joy exceeded that.

"I'm happy that you understand me."

"W-why are you laughing? I don't get it... You were angry just a moment ago."

"That's true, isn't it? I even think I'm pretty easygoing."

She was such a convenient girl, wasn't she?

She knew that herself. But even so, she ended up thinking that it was okay to be treated casually.

More than that,

"You're looking at me now. I'm really happy."

Finally, she could enter his field of vision.

With just that, Kirari's feelings were soaring.

"Because... I still love you, Ryu-kun."

In the end, her feelings were focused on that one point.

Even if he's the worst man, she can't abandon him because she's fallen in love with him.

She's prepared to get hurt. Maybe it's because she was entrusted with Ryoma by Kotaro, but she found the pain almost comforting.

So, this minor pain wasn't a big deal now.
