"You and I started here in this bar, didn't we?"
I went to that bar with Naz, to make things clear about our relationship. I was comfortable with this relationship. But it was a relationship where the question of our feelings has been ignored. On the other hand, Shou-san has approached me with a confession.
When I told Naz that, she smiled and blessed us, "Good for you, congrats." I was a bit thrown off by how unaffected she was.
"Are you fine with that?"
"What do you mean, fine with that?"
"About me choosing Shou-san."
"Of course I'm fine. That's what you and I were working towards, right?" said Naz. Without looking at me.
"I thought it was strange to sleep with you in order to court Shou-san in the first place. Didn't we make out without regard to Shou-san from midway through?"
"... I don't know what you're trying to say," said Naz, before she took a sip from her glass.
"Right now, I feel something close to love for you. Although I'm not absolutely certain. The same goes for Shou-san, although not as much as before. You and I have slept with each other many times, and I developed love-like feelings for you even though I didn't care about you before. What about you? You were so devoted during our sex, do you not feel anything about me? Maybe it's just my egotism, but I can't give Shou-san a reply until you tell me how you feel." I told Naz all that without mincing words.
After I said that, Naz looked far ahead, then turned to face me. "I'm only interested in your body. I was just satisfying my body's yearning, and your thing is big," said Naz, smiling.
"Is that really true?," I asked.
"Don't get me wrong. I'll never fall for you," she said bluntly while looking me in the eyes. I felt the strong purpose behind those words; it was to make sure there is no space I can slip through to her.
"I understand now. Your intent." I told her that I'll leave now since we've discussed what I wanted to discuss, and she replied that she'll stay and keep drinking.
"Make sure you get a firm grip on Master while she's in your embrace. Don't think that things will stay the same forever. While she's in your embrace... Got it?" Naz told me as I was leaving. I received those words silently.
If you really didn't care about me, why did you seduce me even though you knew Shou-san has feelings for me? If you didn't care, you would just be a mean-spirited person who stepped in between me and Shou-san, you know? I decided not to ask her those questions. Because, if I did ask her, then she would really have to act the mean-spirited person's role.
We bade each other farewell, then I left the bar...
