"Let's break up."
Those words came out from Ishigami's lips so naturally, especially when he noticed the strangeness on Onodera after she said nothing when he didn't wear his uniform coat. He felt that she must have known something, but he was unsure.
Yet, when there were many hints left by those who were close to him yet unable to control their feelings, his doubt was clear.
More importantly, this afternoon, he knew that something must be happening, especially when his smartphone kept vibrating as if someone kept sending him spam.
Yet, how could he answer it when he had to be Chika and Onodera by then?
Nevertheless, while Onodera didn't appear to change and was similar as always, he could feel that there was something different about her.
Lastly, he felt it was too much for him to remain in a relationship with Onodera after what he had done to all the girls he knew.
Yet—
"No."
With reddened eyes, Onodera refused. "It's fine. I don't care about that. You don't have to worry."
"What do you mean that I don't have to worry?"
Ishigami was inwardly wondering what was happening.
"It's really fine." Onodera stared as she cried and said, "I don't care about them as long as we can be together."
"It's not fine, right?"
Yet, while Ishigami really wondered what was happening, he felt that he had to break up.
"I said it is fine! I don't mind even if you cheat on me with many girls and even have foursomes with them." Onodera, who had made up her mind, never thought to break up with him. His existence had been imprinted deeply into her being, and she didn't want to be parted away from him. At the same time, she felt that it was natural for him to do this, especially after what she had done to him before.
She, along with the others, had mocked him, isolated him, and even disdained him, thinking that he was a disgusting stalker, so how could she even have a right to be with him?
Probably, he just didn't want her to be sad when he accepted her confession, and she didn't mind that since, with time, she thought that he would love her sincerely.
Yes, he did love her and care about her, but... he wasn't loyal to her.
Yet, it was fine.
Onodera didn't mind that part of him since, once again, she didn't want to lose him.
"I can even join in!"
When Onodera thought of Iino's gaze at that time, she couldn't help but be annoyed and angry.
Did Iino think that she was superior to her?
Did Iino think that she loved him more?
Onodera loved him more, and she didn't even mind if those vixens joined her.
For him, she would do anything.
"...."
However, Ishigami fell silent, realizing that Onodera must have known that he had a foursome with Iino, Kobachi, and Tsubame last night.
Who had exposed it?
Kobachi? Tsubame?
'No, it should be Iino.'
Considering Iino had just lost her first time and with her volatile personality, Ishigami felt that this silly girl was the one who exposed everything.
Sighing inwardly, he felt exhausted somehow, yet watching how Onodera, who had made such a determination, what could he say?
Could he just nod and then do the fivesome with Onodera, Tsubame, Kobachi, and Iino?
What the heck was this?
As he fell into confusion, Onodera suddenly took out her smartphone and started to call someone.
"Hello?"
Probably, Onodera wanted Ishigami to hear it, too, so she put a loudspeaker on her call.
"Iino, where are you?"
"Er..."
"You are following us, right? Come out. Let's all talk here."
"..."
Ishigami fell silent once again and followed Onodera's gaze before he saw Iino, Kobachi, and Tsubame come out from their hiding place.
"....."
Yet, Onodera looked at the three and asked, "You three like him?"
"I do."
"I love him."
"Sorry, Rei-chan, I... want to be with him, after all."
"Then, let's share him."
"..." Ishigami.
"Are you sure, Rei-chan?" Tsubame asked in surprise.
If this continued, Onodera knew that she would lose. After all, she couldn't beat them in quantity, but what about in quality?
As his first girlfriend, did Onodera feel she was better than them?
Onodera didn't think so, especially due to her past, who mocked him, and she was also unfair as she confessed to him when Ishigami happened to be in need of someone the most.
He had never had any feelings toward her, and this was what she believed, but—
Onodera was startled when Ishigami kissed her lips.
Once again, Iino, Tsubame, and Kobachi saw how ruthless Ishigami was at treating his woman, especially with his rough kiss toward Onodera, yet they could tell that Onodera enjoyed this kiss well.
"Don't look down on yourselves too much, and don't look down on me."
Ishigami parted his lips as he looked at Onodera, who was staring at him in a daze. "I want to take responsibility for you, but you should know what kind of a man I am, so if you are okay with me like this, then I won't let you go."
Did Onodera think that he had no feelings toward her?
Of course, he did. Onodera was his first girlfriend, and while she wasn't the one with whom he lost his virginity, he loved her.
In the beginning, he thought that breaking up with her was the best thing for the two of them, but if she was okay with everything, then he wouldn't let her go.
"Um, I love you. I don't want to break up with you."
Holding her on his arm, Ishigami looked at Onodera, who clung to him and said, "Calm down first. Think of this carefully, after you have calmed down, whether you really want to be with me." He then looked at Iino, Kobachi, and Tsubame. "It's the same for you three. Please consider this carefully, whether you are okay with this relationship."
"What if we're okay?" Iino asked quickly.
"Let's do a fivesome."
"...." 4x
Whether it was Onodera, Iino, Kobachi, or Tsubame, they stared at Ishigami in a daze after he said those bold words.
"On the weekend, free up your schedule. Let's take a trip to settle our feelings."
"Trip? Where?"
"Hmm..." Ishigami thought for a moment, and since he had gone to the north, he thought he should go to the south area. Still, he looked at the four and asked, "Is there a place you want to visit?"
"How about Hokkaido?"
"That's too far! Let's go to a nearby place such as Karuizawa."
"Let's be bold and go to Kyoto!"
"We can go to Kyoto during the school trip. Let's take a trip to an unexpected place such as Kanazawa?"
Somehow, the four of them became excited as they discussed where they would go on their trip this weekend.
Ishigami's lips twitched, wondering where the previous tension was, but in the end, he said, "Yokohama. Let's go there."
"Yokohama?" 4x
With that, the five of them decided to settle everything about this relationship in Yokohama.

As tomorrow is a new year, let's talk about the future plan of this story.
When "Kaguya-sama" ends, it will be time for "Yosuga no Sora."
I know that "Yosuga no Sora" is a strange choice, but I have been in a dilemma as to whether to choose "Yosuga no Sora," "Hyouka," or "Gimai Seikatsu."
As for "Gotoubun," there will be a chance in the future. Don't worry.
By the way, thanks for the past year, and thank you for reading all my stories till now.
Hopefully, the new year will be a great year for all of us; whether it is health, dreams, career, or family, everything will be great for all of us.
Thank you!
Enjoy your new year!
