“N-no, …… it’s ……!”
“What? You can eat Sana’s and you can’t eat mine?!”
“That’s not the point. ……!”
Yuri said excitedly while her eyes were fixed.
Sana is looking at her with a blank stare. Please stop, will you?
“It’s good, have Yuuri chi do it too. It would be a great favor. Oh, maybe you’re embarrassed?”
Can you please stop stirring things up? I was stupid to expect it.
Of course I’m embarrassed.
“L-look! Sana’s saying it too! Are you going to do it? Are you going to do it or not?!”
“Ugh. ……”
What’s this, I’m supposed to do it?
Wait, wait, wait!
Yuri didn’t even wait for my reply, scooping up the cream and strawberries with strawberry sauce on them.
Then she brought the spoon to my mouth.
“C-Come on. A-Ahnn~”.
“…”
This, I have no choice but to accept it?
Sana is still grinning at me. She doesn’t seem to have any intention of stopping.
The situation is different from before. With Sana, it was a surprise. If you are set up like this, I would be undeniably nervous.
The bitter and sweet taste of the chocolate I just ate is still there, and my mouth is getting thirsty.
My throat gurgled with the desire for water.
I can’t handle it any more……!
“Ahn……mugg.”
Having reached the point of resignation, I let my mind go blank and accepted the sweetness that was offered before me.
Unlike the bittersweetness earlier, the fruity sweetness spread out.
The sweetness of Yuri is noticeable because Sana’s sweetness was still in my mouth.
“D-Do you like it?”
“….. it’s good.”
Nothing else can be said.
“I-I see. I’m glad.”
“Y-Yeah.”
“…….”
“……”
If it’s going to be awkward, don’t do it. I’m usually embarrassed too.
Sana watches this situation with amusement.
“So, which one was tastier? Mine or Yuurichi’s?”
“P-please give me a break …….”
I didn’t answer her, but let it slide and urged her to resume her studies.
◆
“……”
“……”
After the study session was over and I dropped Sana off at her nearby house, I was left alone with Yuri.
Perhaps because of what had just happened, there were few words.
The two of us walk side by side down a street lined with not-so-bright street lights.
Perhaps it is because of the dimness that restricts our vision, but the croaking frogs coming from the rice paddies are more clearly audible to us. Perhaps it is because we are both silent.
Then Yuri finally opened her mouth.
“Sana, she seems to be doing better than I thought, doesn’t she?”
“I guess so. I wasn’t sure how she would fare since she didn’t have the basics, but she seems to be motivated and if things continue like this, she’ll probably be able to pass the confirmation test.”
“Yes. When I teach her, she understands easily, so it’s worthwhile to teach her.
It’s only been three days since I started teaching, but I’ve been focusing on the content for the test. She has been studying hard with supplementary lessons in the morning, tutoring in the afternoon, and studying with me in the evening, but she is doing very well.
Unlike in the past, I think it may be a matter of her own motivation.
“I’m here. Home is just around the corner.”
We found ourselves at a convenience store near Yuri’s house.
“Really? I’ll walk you to the end.”
“It’s okay. I want to stop by the convenience store and go home. I’m sorry to make you take that much time.”
“Really? Well, be careful—“
＊＊＊
“Ooo, Onee san, are you alone at this late hour?”
“It’s not safe. Do you want us to give you a lift?”
“I’ll buy you a drink if you like.”
＊＊＊
At a convenience store. Yuri gets tangled up with three guys.
I don’t have a good feeling about this.
“No, I’ll take you to the end. It’s late and you never know what might happen.”
“Are you going to go up to my house?”
“No, no. Look, the convenience store.”
As I saw earlier in the future, there are three men in the convenience store.
If I leave her alone like this, I’m sure she’ll get tangled up.
“You mean you’re worried about me?”
“….. Well…”
It’s embarrassing to be put into words once again.
“Fufu, well, I’m going to ask you to come along with me.”
“Oh. What are you buying?”
“You don’t have delicacy”
“Why?!”
“Haha, I’m just kidding. I’m just saying, I’m not buying you.”
“I didn’t say that.”
We laugh and exchange pleasantries as we walk into the convenience store together.
“…..,right?”
“That’s a lie!”
“Let’s give it a try sometime.”
When we entered, the men I saw earlier in the future were noisily talking in front of the magazine section.
There was only one clerk there, and he was taking out his merchandise, not caring about that.
While trying not to leave Yuri alone, I kept an eye out for the men.
“Oh, isn’t that cute little girl just walked in?”
“Oh no, should I call out to her?”
“Idiot, there’s a guy”
“Really? Oh”
“I’m a better guy than him right?”
……I’m glad I didn’t leave Yuri alone after all.
“What, they’re so unpleasant.”
“Well, I understand how you feel, but don’t say anything unnecessary.”
“….. I understand!”
The voice that spoke was naturally heard by Yuri.
The content of it makes her frown and she says it to me but the other guy can’t hear it.
While I was saying that, the guys walked out of the store.
I breathe a sigh of relief that they are finally no longer in the store.
Then Yuri checks out her merchandise at the register and leaves the store.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“Yeah.”
“Here you go.”
“……?”
Yuri takes a Coke out of the convenience store bag and hands it to me.
“Thank you. You escort me. You like soda, right?”
“Oh, yeah. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
I felt my cheeks relax at the fact that she had said she wouldn’t buy me a drink, but she was so considerate.
“But you knew I liked soda, didn’t you?”
“I know that much. You drink it all the time.”
“You watch me closely.”
“I-I’m not really watching you!”
It’s funny to tease Yuuri when she panics. I see, it’s certainly not like I don’t understand Sana’s feelings.
I opened the lid of the plastic bottle of Coke that Yuri gave me.
Bubbles start to rise from the inside with a pleasant sound.
“Wow”
I rush to it and put my mouth on it. A little foam spills out and my hands get wet.
Worse, it’s sticky. ……
“Ahhhh, …….”
“Haha, what are you doing!”
“No, you didn’t shake it and hand it to me, did you?”
“No, I wouldn’t do that. You’re so rude!”
“Sorry, sorry.”
“Here, take my handkerchief.”
“You don’t mind? Thank you.”
I took the pretty frilly handkerchief from Yuri and wiped my hands on it.
“I’ll wash it and give it back to you.”
“No problem, don’t worry about it.”
Yuri took the handkerchief from me as if she was taking it from me.
Then we started walking toward Yuri’s house again.
Then I saw the guys from the convenience store walking lazily ahead of me.
They were just as loud as they had been in the store, even though it was nighttime.
“Do you think the rumor is true?”
“No, of course it’s not true.”
“Besides, the rumors say that even if she has a boyfriend, she’s still playing with him. I heard senpai also said that the other day.”
“Right. I heard she’s becoming even more of a bitch than before.”
“I heard that one of my juniors got eaten”
“That’s right. I’ll go and ask her next time.”
“Hahaha, you can have your first one, too. Fujibayashi will have you for the first time.”
“Shut up.”
We both stopped and looked at each other when we heard a name we both knew.
“Hey, what’s that story?”
“…… damn.”
Apparently, there was no point in my saying it like that.
On the contrary, it seems that there are worse stories out there.
Maybe it’s my fault ……?
“Hey, don’t look like that. It’s not your fault.”
“Yeah”
The guys were gone before I knew it.
“Let’s be more careful than that. I don’t think Sana would do something like that.”
“I guess so. Will Yuuri also be a little concerned about Sana?”
“Yes, of course. Will you tell Sana?”
“I don’t know. The test is coming up, and there may be cases where it’s better not to give her unnecessary anxiety…I’ll see how things go.”
“That might be a good idea.”
Both Yuri and I sigh heavily.
I felt uneasy about the rumors about Sana, which never changed.
