For Some Reason, My Ex-girlfriend, Who Lost Interest in Me, and My Current Girlfriend, Whom I’ve Known Since Childhood, Are Now Fighting Over Me

After school.

Around the time Mayuka Takamine makes her shocking confrontation with Shizuku Natsukawa.

Shota Komori is speechless.

This is because he is shown–Shizuku Natsukawa and Shota Komori coming out of a love hotel when Kengo Sunagawa, who had turned into a red devil, interrupted them–from Tenshi Izumi’s phone.

(Stop! If Izumi-san finds out that her boyfriend, Kengo Sunagawa-kun, cared so much about Natsukawa-san, even Izumi-san’s spirit, which was just barely holding on, will be burned up! Please don’t die, Izumi-san! What will happen to the agreement you made with me if you collapse here? You still have some life left.
If you endure this moment, you can defeat the cruel reality!)

“If you like, why don’t you go to Aokigahara with me now, Shota-san?” (T/N: That forest, you know…)

(Coming up next, ‘Izumi-san Dies!’ Stay tuned!–This isn’t the time for jokes! I’m so lost in despair that I’m running away from reality with my foolish thoughts! Wait… Wait a minute!? Why did Izumi-san show me the video from that night!? I don’t think the commotion got so loud that one of the passersby took a hidden picture and spread it on social media…)

“I heard that jumping to your death feels good.
Why don’t you do it with me?”

“Hiiiii!”

Tenshi Izumi brings her face close to his with vacant eyes.

For the record, her series of words and actions are an act.

By making fun of Shota Komori, she is somehow trying to turn away from the sad reality.

(The light in Izumi-san’s eyes… The light in Izumi-san’s eyes is gone! She’s sick! She is definitely sick! Wha-Wha-What should I do!? In this case, I should take her to a psychiatric hospital, right? I can’t protect her from this cruel reality!)

Izumi stirs a cup with no drink in it with a straw.

(Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! This is the legendary empty pot that sent fans of the original into a pit of despair and depression, no, it’s a cup now! It’s a symbol of nightmares!) (T/N: Probably another damn reference by the author.
Please forgive this lazy translator.)

“C-C-Calm down, Izumi-san.”

Komori’s voice trembles from sheer terror.

(Hmm? Shota-san, you are seriously afraid of me, aren’t you? Why would you be afraid of me, an angel, instead of the devil? Alright.
Since we’re here, I’ll let you hang out with me a little longer, okay?)

“Calm down? Calm down at the sight of my boyfriend who was seriously in love with the person he was cheating on me with? Fufu.
Now you can tell funny jokes.”

(GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! What do you want me to do now!? Eh, what’s this!? Did I perhaps enter the heart-to-heart route with Izumi-san? No, no, no, why!? Although it’s true that I was careless and thoughtless in my actions, I don’t remember having committed any crimes that I had to pay for with my life!)

–Click, click.

(Somehow, I’m hearing the sound of scuffing metal coming from Izumi-san’s uniform~~~!? This is for real! This is really happening! If you listen to it, you’ll know it’s the real deal!)

(Ah, the toy handcuffs I brought with me that night to keep Shota-san from leaving until I found out what happened rubbed against my skirt–Eh, what’s wrong, Shota-san? Your face is turning blue.)
