SECOND MALE LEAD SYNDROME

Chapter 23

"Since all four of us are here, why don't we go on a double date?" Astrid suggested

Kaleid looked at Avyrain as he said "I don't see a problem so why not?"

Avyrain looked at Valt as she asked "What do you think Valt?"

"I was called out here by a former friend's sister and just happened to bumped with this girl" Valt stated as he removed Astrid's hand from his arm

"There's only one woman I want to go on a date with and she broke up with me 2 days ago" he added then walked past them

Avyrain remained rooted on spot then she said "Aren't you going to chase after him?"

"What?" Astrid uttered in confusion

"You told me you are serious with Valt, be sure to do that properly" Avyrain stated as she held Kaleid's hand and walked past Astrid

Then, Astrid ran after Valt as she said "I'm also here to meet with Claire"

Valt stopped as he apathetically said "So?"

Just then, Claire ran towards them as she said "I'm sorry I was late, I stopped by the comfort room after I arrived here"

Valt calmly looked at Claire as he said "Get straight to the point, why did you ask me to come here and even go far as to use your own brother?"

"Well I just want to help you both end up with the one you love so I came up with a plan to work together, you want to get that senpai back right?" Claire responded with a smile

'Actually I just want to meet and hang out with Valt alone but if I do that he would probably leave so I have to also invite Astrid and make an excuse' Claire thought to herself

Valt scoffed as he said "What makes you think I need your help?"

"Furthermore, you expect me to believe that this weak girl can actually get back that bug that was following Avy senpai when all she ever does is cry" he added

Astrid turned angry as she said "I've tried my best, now I can even confidently pretend in front of him that I like someone else"

Valt calmly looked at Astrid as he mockingly uttered "Even as a tool you're useless, not only did you create a chance for that bug to take advantage on senpai but you also tried to bring me down with you"

"Stop calling Kaleid a bug!" Astrid angrily stated

"Alright, stop it you two" Claire intervened

'If this goes on, even my plan of spending time with Valt will blew up' Claire thought to herself

"This is the last time I'm giving in to Reiji for the sake of past friendship, tell him that if he asks me to meet with annoyingly calculative women like you two then I wouldn't be so lenient anymore" Valt calmly stated then walked away

Claire heaved a heavy sigh as she uttered "This isn't suppose to turn out like this"

"What are we going to do now?" Astrid asked

Claire paused for a second then said "I have an idea"

Meanwhile, Avyrain and Kaleid were currently having desserts in the dessert shop

"Senpai, are you still in your deep thoughts?" Kaleid asked

"Huh?" Avyrain uttered

"Ever since we met those two, you stopped talking to me and only responded whenever I ask you a question" Kaleid stated while looking disappointed

"Ah it's just that I realized something that made me lose my focus" Avyrain replied

"What is it?" Kaleid asked
