The Hashimoto Rena

New Neighbor Watanabe Chiya

⟨ Watanabe Chiya Apartment ⟩

Bell rings.

Chiya, who was busy with the V-tube, rose up angrily, hoping that the one who came did not bother people.

When he opened the door, he fell silent, a handsome glasses-wearing teenager now smiled at him.

"Sorry to interrupt, I'm the new neighbor."

"Oh..."

'Well, what the fuck is this? Is she a model?"

Her new neighbor is a friendly person, she introduces herself that she is someone from abroad, from country K.

Surprisingly, Chiya grew more suspicious when she always came to him.

Chiya spent her time running early in the morning, she started doing such things ever since Yusuke moved into Rena's house.

"Oh, Shin. Do you like to run too?"

"Yes. I've loved jogging since Junior High."

'This bastard is no less handsome than Yusuke.'

Their relationship is getting closer, even during the week there is a lot of fun for Chiya to forget her longing feelings for Yusuke.

"I brought something you could try."

"What's that?"

Chiya asked because of feelings.

"This spicy chicken seasoning, if you like spicy would like."

"... I like it spicy."

Chiya recalled the time Yusuke confirmed: When a foreign man comes, it is not allowed to take him home.

However, Chiya thought for quite a while, he also concluded that for Shin who looked good and innocent enough he allowed Shin to enter.

"It's so red as you say, like so hot."

"Where I live this is very popular sometimes accompanied by drinks."

"Oh, you like to drink too?"

"Not really, just out of politeness."

When tried the taste is really very spicy, the good taste and spicy make it excited and ask for cola afterwards.

"Pwaah~"

"You seem to like it?"

He showed his white teeth while smiling.

Such a clear smile made him remember Yusuke.

'This bastard smiled like him ...'

While in class for the first time, Ayumi was curious.

Chiya was busier with her phone during the break.

"Why are you smiling like that?, how strange."

Chiya also answered a question from Ayumi.

"I have a very handsome friend, he's a foreigner."

Minami also spoke as someone who took it lightly.

"It looks like someone turned away."

"Kekeke, of course not. He's just my friend. I still like him," Chiya said pointing to Yusuke.

One of the most unexpected moments was when she was eating at a tavern not far from her apartment, with Shin.

'Dating?' 

She did not expect Shin to speak like that, she was quite amazed by the young man who was now stroking the back of her neck while speaking.

"I know it hasn't been a month, it sure sounds silly."

"You like someone too easily, I refuse."

Shin smiled like a pitiful young man, Chiya looked at him and felt pity. 

However, he persisted with his stance.

In the doorway of Chiya's apartment.

Shin also spoke.

"Thank you for accepting my invitation."

"Together, come on why are you so sad?"

Shin smiled and replied.

"I feel careless with careless results."

While on the balcony.

Chiya pondered and pondered over everything she had been through lately.

Ridiculous for her who could not speak as rudely as usual, she felt that with Shin, she became a good girl.

"It looks like she's never been together, baby I turned her down, kekeke..."

Another unexpected morning occurred when Shin looked more fashionable and did not wear glasses.

"Wow, you look better with that."

"really? I think it's very strange, doesn't it look ridiculous?"

***

From then on it seemed like there was a distance between Shin and Chiya.

The unpleasant feeling that Chiya felt.

One time Shin, who changed a lot and brought a woman to the apartment, made Chiya speechless.

Chiya who could not bear it, ventured to ask and get a surprising answer.

"It's all because of me!"

With a bitter and sad smile, Chiya blames herself, all because of her, and consequently Shin seeks escape by sleeping with many women.

"Bitch, you're like this because I refused."

Chiya touched her own forehead in frustration, she chose to return to her room.

Shin who lived in the room of Chiya's previous apartment.

Chiya could actually hear that voice.

"Good boy being a bastard because of me, damn, does this make sense, you instantly changed because I refused?"

He muttered in the room and felt guilty.

⟨ School Cafeteria ⟩

"Why do you look so depressed?"

Ayumi's question was answered with a faint smile from Chiya.

Something he couldn't tell anyone that he had turned someone into an asshole.

He felt even worse by the voice that was across the room.

"Damn it, how long are you going to be like an asshole ..."

Chiya bit her lips tightly, she felt very angry and angry.

He wouldn't care if Shin had been like that from the beginning, but for some reason; 'Everything because of him?'

Chiya swung her hand to hit the wall and shouted.

"You son of a bitch Shin, so noisy!"

He could not resist his usual rude talk.

15 Minutes later.

They were talking in the doorway.

Shin firmly spoke.

"Is there a problem with you Chiya?"

Chiya lowered her head while answering.

"You're so noisy, you're like a gigolo. The woman you brought is all older than you."

"Aren't you the same as I heard you're something that lures men into your room?"

Chiya's eyes moved in panic.

"..."

"I'm so frustrated to hear that, I'm really dispelling the disappointment of following in your footsteps."

"Ha-ha-ha!"

Chiya laughed hearing that.

Shin showed me his phone screen.

"I heard you like it too? Too bad, you want to devour someone's girlfriend? Even you two are friends?"

Chiya smiled sadly because those words were almost the same as when she was talking to Minami.

"Damn you crazy..."

"I'll try too, would it be interesting if I did it like you? Even it would be very brave not to play smooth, I was also curious as to what Hashi— feels like"

- Plaque! Slap sound.

"Don't make excuses for your bullshit by doing what I do?! You think you should be like me?"

Shin switched the conversation.

"I'm someone you hurt, right? Really you were my first love, you let me down and I became like this?"

Chiya smiled obliquely, and spoke harshly.

"Basic bastard, gigolo. You slept with a lot of women and said you loved me? What stupid woman would believe that damn thing?"

Shin stepped forward to take Chiya to her apartment room.

The door is locked with a 'click' sound'.

Chiya's gaze glared at Shin.

"You've become a big bastard Shin."

"Everything thanks to you Chiya?"

Chiya pursed her lips, she grew even more annoyed and wanted to slap him hard.

"I—"

"Because I'm an asshole, I'll satisfy you Chiya."

Chiya smiled sadly.

"Damn, you're the same except Yusuke ..."

"I really have to be hard on you."
