Shameless Games 11 – Veiled Secret.02 信じるって決めた


「Man, what a weird day that was…」

I’m Miyake Ramu.

I’m looking up at the night sky on a park bench after everything that just happened.

When I thought that the head of the morals committee was being manipulated, he suddenly apologized and asked me to believe in them. This is the first time where there’s a day where I don’t get anything.

The head of the morals committee just went to the convenience store saying he’s gonna buy us drinks.

Curently, there’s just the three of us, Mio-chan, and Fuyutsuki-san.

Mio-chan is famous even among the girls. When you see her up close, she looks cute, and she has that pure and elegant vibe. She also has a great personality.

As for the other one, I don’t know much about her, and so I call her Fuyutsuki-san. She’s a little scary. I don’t know what she’s thinking, but she’s beautiful.

「Miyake-san, we’re really sorry about this」

Mio bows her head again.

「Geez, how many times has that been? One apology is enough」

I said, but I let out a big sigh.

Well, I would be lying if I say that I’m no longer angry.

I mean, they followed me, and investigated me with doubts in mind. Now they’re telling me to believe in them? Isn’t that just wild?

But, when I look at her, it’s hard for me to say anything intense.

She’s sparkling, and the way she speaks is so gentle, she has the good girl aura.

「But, thanks」

「Huh?」

「You came to apologize. You didn’t have to go that far, do you? You could’ve just brushed it off, saying that it was a misunderstanding.

I say while shrugging my shoulders.

「It’s Ryo-chan who made that decision」

「Ryo-chan? Oh, the head?」

「Yes. He didn’t want Miyake-san to feel bad, so he wanted to apologize」

Hmm, so it’s him.

Well, I don’t think he’s a bad guy, but that’s quite earnest of him. Weird guy.

「Miyake-san.」

I turned to Fuyutsuki-san who called me.

The pale light of the streets hit her face, bringing a cosmetics poster beauty look. However, she’s expressionless, so maybe it’s scary.

「I also want to apologize. Also, leave the rest to us」

Somehow, the way she speaks makes me want to smile wryly.

But, her eyes are looking at me. She’s not looking down or having a condescending attitude, she’s just straightforward. I think this girl’s an earnest one too.

「Also, Sawa-kun, the head of morals committee is a little too kind」

「I see that」

「But, when he said 『I want you to believe in us』he wasn’t just doing that for show」

「How can you be so sure?」

At that moment, Fuyutsuki-san chuckled.

「He’s the head of morals committee after all」

「Huh?」

「He won’t betray me」

「What?」

「No, ignore that part」

No, I heard that! I knew it, she’s scary… What do you mean 『won’t betray you』?

「I think Segawa-san knows him more than I do」

Mio-chan nods.

「Ryo-chan’s been an earnest guy even if he looks like that. That’s why if Ryo-chan tells you to leave it to him, you can believe him! Oh, butー」

Light disappeared from Mio-chan’s eyes.

「You can’t fall for Ryo-chan, okay? Promise me that now」

ーScary!

What was that, a threat? My impression of her flipped 180 degrees!

No way, this is scary! I feel like this is going to go badly if I anger these two.

Who even is this head of the morals committee that these two trust so much?

Is he actually a scary guy?

Oh, I think I get it.

He’s in charge of the morals committee, he must be a messed up man too. His looks aren’t that bad, but maybe he’s the type who would beat you up behind the scenes if you messed up?

But, he seems fine with my blonde hair, seriously, what’s going on?

Also, these two have been glaring at me for a while now.

「You’re his childhood friend, and yet you can’t see Sawa-kun’s value?」

「Pah, I can say much more good things about Ryo-chan than you」

「For example?」

「For example, he can sip on canned drinks without holding it, also, he’s good at climbing upside down」

「You sound like an elementary kid bragging, anything else?」

「Apart from that! He puts his shoes neatly after taking them off!」

「That’s common sense, giving him headpats」

What’s going on here?

Are these two arguing or are they performing a comedy routine? Am I supposed to laugh here?

Fuyutsuki-san sighs.

「Anyway, the morals committee will make moves for Miyake-san. If you ever have a problem, talk to us anytime」

「O-Okay…」

「Hm? What’s wrong?」

「Well, I’m happy to hear that, but the morels committee people sure has a strange group」

When I finished speaking, it hit me.

That may have been to honest. Oh shit, what do I do if they snap at me?

Mio-chan and Fuyutsuki-san stared at each other.

「「You have a point」」

They both understood, and for some reason, burst into laughter.

Seeing that joyful faces, while I can’t be sure, I think they can be trusted. I think they seem to have an understanding even though they’re arguing.

I kind of envy that kind of relationship.
