Responsibility

"Can we talk?"

As they walked a little further from the facility, he took a leaf and started to blow it. Still, he ignored her question since he was a bit speechless by the timing of her question.

"Huh? You can play a musical instrument?"

Jiro, who was waiting for his answer, was startled by Mineta turning a leaf into an amazing reed instrument. She even heard him playing her mother's song, which made her even more dumbfounded.

"I do."

As for why he could play a leaf as a musical instrument, it was because of an "Oboe" Skill (Mastery), which he had received from Melissa before.

"By the way, your parents are musicians, right?"

"That's right." She looked at him and said, "You played my mother's song."

"Really?" He looked at Jiro thoughtfully and said, "Can I meet her sometimes? I am her fan."

"Sure." Jiro didn't think too much at this moment since she thought he was just a normal fan, but suddenly she realized something. "Wait! Don't change the subject of our conversation!"

He looked at her and asked, "You want to talk with me?"

Being stared into his eyes, she felt a bit nervous, but she made up her mind, and once she had decided to do something, she would follow it through. It was like how she decided to become a hero instead of following her parents' career as a musician.

"Yes."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"It's about your relationship with Yaomomo."

"My relationship with Momo?" His voice seemed confused when she asked this question.

"Don't play dumb with me."

"What do you mean?"

She blushed and then said, "Yo-Your relationship has reached that stage, right?"

"Stage?"

"I-I mean... sex." Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

"No, we didn't do that." He didn't lie since they hadn't had sex.

While Jiro was stunned, she said, "But you have done so-something like a fellatio, right?"

"...we did."

"Why?"

"You asked me? You should ask Momo."

He didn't ask Momo to give him fellatio, but she was the one who gave it to him. If Jiro wanted to ask why Momo did this, it was better for her to ask this question to Momo directly.

"If I can ask her, do you think I will ask you?"

"Then, do you think it is proper to ask me such a question?"

"......"

No.

Even Jiro knew that her question was rude, especially when the matter between Momo and Mineta had nothing to do with her. It was a matter of two. Even if she was Momo's friend, she didn't have a right to mix into their matter.

Yet...

Yet, she didn't feel comfortable if she didn't do something.

"No matter what, please don't hurt her."

Still, this request made him look into her.

This gaze, she felt strange, yet she couldn't look away from him.

"Do you think I am hurting her?"

"I..."

"Do you think she is sad?"

"I...."

"Do you think she is unhappy?"

"........"

Such questions were thrown in her direction continuously, which made her unable to give a response.

Did Momo hurt? Was Momo sad? Was Momo unhappy?

Jiro realized that none of the things happened to Momo. Instead, Momo was extremely happy.

Proof?

When Momo and Mineta were at the library, Jiro could see the ecstasy and joy on Momo's face. However, it was a vulgar face that shouldn't be shown by such a lady, yet it was shown by Momo.

Still, one thing is for sure, Jiro knew that Momo was far from being hurt, sad, or unhappy.

"More importantly, Jiro, isn't it all your fault to begin with?"

"...My-My fault?!" Jiro was at a loss when she heard his words. "What do you mean? How is it my fault?"

"I have heard from Momo that it was you who told her to chase me." He frowned and said, "You were the one who provoked her, right?"

"I..."

Jiro was at a loss, and she realized that she was a hypocrite.

That's right.

Everything was her fault.

If she didn't talk back then, Momo and Mineta wouldn't have become like this.

But... it was also his fault since she also didn't expect him to be such a bastard.

However, she didn't have time to think since, once again, he cruelly tore away her mask.

"You know I have a girlfriend, right? Why did you say that to Momo?"

"I..."

What could she say at this moment?

In the end, the matter wouldn't even start if she didn't say those stupid words.

Her head was a mess, and she just didn't know what to do.

"Also, it's unpleasant to hear someone talk about our relationship when you don't know anything." He didn't want to talk to Jiro anymore and walked away. "Excuse me." However, his wrist was suddenly grasped by Jiro.

"What's wrong?"

"How can I stop you?"

"What do you mean?" He frowned.

"Please stop your relationship with Yaomomo." Jiro looked at him with a solemn expression.

Yes, everything was her fault, so she was going to take responsibility for fixing all of this.

Momo might be in love with this bastard now, but it was just because she was intoxicated, and once she woke up, she would be sober and realize that everything was just a bubble.

Jiro thought it was better to have short pain instead of long-term pain.

It was like cancer, which was better solved in the beginning.

Yes, he was like cancer.

As of now, she was going to stop this cancer.

"No."

His answer was simple, and he rejected her.

"........" Jiro.

"Instead of talking about this matter to me, why don't you talk to Momo?"

"......."

Why couldn't she talk to Momo?

Because she knew Momo definitely wouldn't listen to her. She knew once someone fell in love with someone, they would be blind to their surroundings, and the people who opposed their relationship would become their enemies.

In other words, it was meaningless.

It was also why she came to Mineta.

"Please."

Even if she knew Mineta wouldn't listen to her, she wouldn't give up and stubbornly looked at him.

"You know, why do you picture me as a bad guy here?"

"It's because you have changed, Momo!"

"Why do you think that I am the one who changed her? Maybe, isn't it her nature that she is a pervert? You should know her hero costume and all."

"...."

Jiro couldn't deny his words.

"Maybe, you should realize now that the pervert one isn't me, but Momo."

His whisper was like a devil, which made her hesitate, but she looked at him and pleaded, "Please, I don't want her to continue a relationship like this, but if you can break up with your girlfriend, I won't pester you anymore."

"Impossible."

"Then, break up with her!"

"No."

"Why?"

"Can you think of the answer?" He looked at her and asked.

Why couldn't he break up with Momo?

When Jiro tried to think about this matter, she instantly knew the answer. She suddenly thought about the scene where Momo did fellatio on Mineta's meat rod. Her face flushed red, but she looked at him with a determined and shy expression.

"I-I can have sex with you."

"........"
