Nyanta & Pomeko

Chapter 6: As for Glasses Saito

(Miyu POV)

Miyu wanted to be pampered by everyone.

　I hated herself for being so plain in junior high school. I hated my glasses.

"—You used to be prettier in the past, Saito-san...... "

　With those words, I couldn't move from the classroom.

　A shock ran through my body.

　I'm much prettier than I used to be.......

　I stand there alone, staring at the entrance to the classroom.

　An unfamiliar feeling swirls around me. I feel sick.

　I didn't want to get on the wrong side of you either,.......

......I was happy to be in the same class as you in high school. Makoto-kun usually has a gloomy face, but the smile he sometimes shows is very nice.

I was right about that.

　An astute girl had already confessed her feelings for the high-spec boy, Makoto-kun.

　......I felt ...... disgusted deep in my chest. Makoto-kun, even though ...... I was the first to become friends with him.

　Where the hell did I go wrong?

---

In junior high school, I was happy to spend time with Makoto-kun in the library.

　Maybe he was dragging out the rumors from elementary school, but Makoto-kun didn't have any friends.

　He looked simple, but he had a very beautiful face.

　When he talked, he was cheerful and very funny.

　Going to the library was something I looked forward to every day.

　At the time, I had dorky glasses, a long skirt, and weird pigtails.

　I was called ugly behind my back, but Makoto-kun was very kind to me.

　It happened suddenly. Just as I thought the earthquake had stopped, Makoto-kun came at me.

"Saito-san!!"

　I was in a state of panic as he leaned over me as if he was going to fall on top of me. I was so scared at that time ......, no matter how good a friend we were, in the presence of so many students .......

　After a while, Makoto-kun got up slowly.

　I was in a daze.

　His complexion was ashen and blood was flowing from his head. The next thing I knew, the students around me were attacking him.

　And ...... everyone was worried about me.

"'Are you okay?　Saito-san."

"Let's go to the infirmary."

"Are you hurt?　Do you want some water?　Did he touch you in any weird way?"

　As a shy person, I couldn't reply well.

"Eh, uh, yeah .... I'm okay ... well, Makoto-kun is injured–oh, my glasses, glasses ..."

　The temperature of the students dropped.

　I can tell even without my glasses. I was afraid of that atmosphere.

"You can't just leave that guy alone. ...... glasses ...... Huh?　Are you really Saito?"

"That's right. He can't just attack you out of the blue."

"I'll go to the infirmary with you."

"Heh~, you're even cuter without your glasses."
