Your Lie In April A Second Chance Chapter 4: The Future Has Changed
🕑 Added 2021-09-11 15:12:28 +0000 UTCUnlike when we originally did, I didn’t take any pictures. Instead, I just kept watching her play the melodica with the children. Suddenly I remembered my daughter, while I got to meet the person I wanted to see the most, in exchange for not seeing my beloved daughter.
And this made me feel complicated, but I decided to forcefully not think about it because the ‘me’ from the future is dead, and I don’t have a way back, I still haven’t completely grasped my situation either. I don’t know how I even got into the past, thinking death and space-related is making me go crazy. This was the setback of someone smart. We think of a solution, no matter how absurd it is, we create theories that satisfy us.
Now I envy those airheads because they couldn’t bother to think about something complicated, right now all I have to do is ignore this problem because this isn’t something that I could ever explain, this is way past science, this is on the level of fantasy.
I stopped thinking of everything and only focused on watching Kaori play the melodica with the children because it helps me forget all of my problems and stress. All of a sudden a strong wind blows at Kaori and the children, making her skirt lift, then I thought.
“She’s wearing bear-marked pants, now that’s cute.”
Kaori quickly covered her skirt, to avoid anyone from seeing her childish underwear, however it was too late, because she realized that someone saw it, and it wasn’t just anyone, but Arima Kousei!
The person she idolized, and her first crush!
‘He saw it! No, he might think I'm childish!’ She was embarrassed that she didn’t know what to do, so she decided to do the dere-dere act, she went down from the hill, and attempted to hit Kousei with her melodica while shouting.
“You pervert! Forget everything you see!”
This action, she hated, she didn’t want her crush's first impression of her to be like this, but it was too late for her to stop, she could only see the consequences of her action.
Seeing her melodica was about to hit me, instead of dodging I decided to stop it and I successfully did,
. Hey, let’s calm down okay?” I said with a gentle voice, I didn’t want to make this issue become something more.
Kaori was stunned, she didn’t think that he would react like that, she thought that he would dodge her assault, but he didn’t, not only did he calmly solve the problem, he even forgave her for attacking him, this made her guilty.
“I-i am sorry...I didn’t mean to hit you.” If she won’t admit her mistake this time, she would feel worse.
“No, it’s fine, although it's not my intention to look at your, you know I also apologize on behalf of looking at it.” Like a proper adult, I should be able to do this much. From what I could see, she didn’t know what to do because I saw her pants. Girls at her age are rather hard to understand.
“Ahem- well, let’s forget about that, I’m Miyazono Kaori. May I know yours?” She asked, even though she knows him, she had been stalking him ever since they went to the same school.
“Arima Kousei, nice to meet you Miyazono-san.”
“Kaori is fine.”
“Kaori, then you can call me Kousei then.”
“Mhm, nice to meet you too Kousei!” She smiled brightly.
Now right at this moment, I could truly say that the future is changing because of this. Compared to our first meeting in my last life, this was something more amazing. Not only we got to know each other, I got to call her by her first name right off the bat.
“So, Kaori, what are you doing in the park? Are you perhaps waiting for someone?” Even though I know the reason, It’s better to ask to make this more natural. I mean I can’t just say that I'm from the future. I know who you’re waiting for.
The mental hospital is pretty close to here, so I would rather not say facts, because it would only make my reputation bad.
“Ah! A-about that I-” Before she could finish talking, Tsubaki, who was with Ryota, arrived.
I could see Ryota complaining about this girl that wanted to meet him, he said. “She better be cute like you said! Or else my time would be wasted.”
I thought. ‘Uwaaa...this kid….how terrible, he only cares about looks, minus 10 points for you my friend, though I can’t deny that he is good looking.’
“Don’t worry! She’s really cute! I can assure you! “
“She better be!”
Then the two of them saw us and Tsubaki was the first one to approach us and exclaimed. “Hey, Kao-chan we’re here! And huh? Is that Kousei? Woah, so you two already met!”
“Tsubaki-chan!”
After that, all of us gathered and Tsubaki started introducing. “Ahem-, let’s start from the top. This is Miyazono Kaori, my classmate!”
“Nice to meet you!” Kaori smiled.
Then, right later, she introduced Ryota. “And this is Watari Ryota, he might not look like it but he’s the captain of the school’s soccer team.”
“Nice to meet you.” Ryota acted charming and cool, but in front of my eyes, he looked amusing, I thought. ‘How cute of him trying to impress a girl..but Ryota in this life, there is no you and her, I’ll make sure of that.’
If they were still going to end up together, what is the purpose of going back to the past? The past me might be a simp, but this time I’m not because there is no way I’m going to lengths just to save a girl that wouldn’t become mine.
I am going to save her because she’s mine and not because I wanted her to owe me,
This time rather than Kaori approaching Ryota, it was Ryota who approached her, it had changed.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you!” Ryota said with sparkling teeth.
“I-it’s a pleasure too..” Unlike what happened in my previous life, Kaori wasn’t exactly happy being approached by Ryota, and she was stealing a glance at me, hoping that I wasn’t angry about it.
But of course, it was only who noticed, then Tsubaki finally introduced me. “Oh, and it doesn’t really matter but, this is friend A.”
“Oh, it’s fine we already introduced ourselves a few minutes ago,”
Tsubaki grinned and replied. “Oh? You did? I didn’t know you were such a player!”
“Ha-ha, to call me that from all people, no I’m not, but Tsubaki meeting Kaori, I think I might make a move on her, I like her,” I said without blinking, but wondered why I felt guilty saying that.
“Eh..?” Tsubaki couldn’t believe what I just said, to me who wasn’t interested in anything other than music, suddenly saying that I’m interested in a girl and might make a move, is very shocking!
Then Tsubaki thought. ‘He even called her by Kaori, her first time! Just what happened?’
Suddenly a completely new feeling appeared in her heart, and it wasn’t a pleasant one, she didn’t like it a bit.
“Just..what is this..?” Tsubaki was confused.
“What did you say Tsubaki?” I asked.
“Nothing! Don’t talk to me for a bit, okay?” All of sudden, she left me.
I, who was rather familiar with this, though. ‘She’s jealous? But, she wasn’t supposed to like me at this time...well whatever, I’ll think about that later.’
(End-)
