Satsuki: It seems that you have solved the stalker problem.
Tsumetashi: It was simple enough but please, no more aniki. No one wants to go through that again.
Satsuki: I won’t stop till I get what I want.
Tsumetashi: She doesn’t love you any more. Please get that in your head aniki.
Satsuki: Tsumetashi, it’s meaningless to lie to me. I know the truth.
Tsumetashi: You don’t or at least you are ignoring it.
~~~
Mikomi: I guess we have no choice but to carry out the plan.
Akira: However you have to be careful, he’s full of tricks.
Mikomi: I know. You don’t have to worry about it.

Satsuki: What’s the big idea bringing me to the park, Tsumetashi?
Tsumetashi: Well as they say, “If you can beat them, join them”.
Satsuki: How about Akira then?
Tsumetashi: He doesn’t need to know… Besides she agreed to it.
Satsuki: You mean…
Tsumetashi: (saw a girl in the distance) Ah! Here she comes.
Satsuki looks in the same direction as Tsumetashi’s gaze and saw Mikomi coming towards them.
Mikomi: Satsuki, this will be our secret for now.
Satsuki: I don’t mind as long as you are with me.
Mikomi and Tsumetashi exchange looks for a short while before Tsumetashi stood up and excuse himself leaving the two alone at the park.
Mikomi: Although I am here, it doesn’t mean that I admit having feelings for you.
Satsuki: I will make it so that you do.
Mikomi: We will see.

And so began the plan to make Satsuki dislike me. Satsuki doesn’t seem to notice that Akira is always trailing behind us whenever I am out with him. Usually I will pick a time when Satsuki knows that Akira shouldn’t be able to follow. However unknown to him, Akira has changed his schedule such that only I know when he is free and when he is not.
There are different ideas that came from my friends on how to make Satsuki dislike me. There are times where I purposely come late or cancel appointments at the last moment. Other times I cause trouble for Satsuki like not looking where I am going and bumping into people or simply crossing the road without due care. Although I put myself in danger, I know he will try his best to save me. But how much can a person tolerate this kind of behaviour? There are also times where I didn’t really use my table manners. I even ask him to pay for quite a number of things. Hopefully he will complain to the others that I am a pain to be with and that it’s tiring to be with me. Then all this will end.
For about two months, I carried out the plan. Every time we meet, I can sense a little tiredness in him. Guess it won’t be long till he gives up. He also doesn’t bother about my “clumsiness” any more. We almost had a terrible argument with a punk when I “accidentally” bumped into him. Guess he doesn’t love me as much as he does previously. Our plan seems to be working well.
Tsumetashi: He switched off his phone the whole day yesterday and told me if you were asking for him to tell you that he isn’t feeling well.
Mikomi: I thought so when I couldn’t get through the first three times.
Akira: So our plan is paying off?
Akano: Not quite. We still have stage two of the plan.
Suzu: That’s where I come in right?
Inochi: That’s right.
Akira: Then I can be with Mikomi longer each day?
Akano: Not yet.
