–I was thinking about it in my bed at home after I dropped Yui off at home.
By the way, today was a bit of a tough day for me.
I never thought that even after my reincarnation, I would still be able to use the knowledge I learned from my master.
In my previous life, I had been without parents since I was a child, but instead, my master was my parents.
I didn’t know what kind of past he had until he died, but he was so strong that I couldn’t imagine him ever losing to anyone…….
I had been trained by him since I was a child, and before I knew it, I was unrivaled for anyone my own age, or even older.
Use this power to protect someone ! Use it to help someone, not to hurt them ! He always told me that.
That’s why I’m a delinquent who bullies people from the same dojo as me. I’ve been fighting against people who mugs someone on the streets at night.
Some of them had weapons, but after my master’s hellish training, they didn’t pose any threat to me at all….well, of course, I had to be careful not to overdo it.
My master praised me every time I did so, and as a child I was so happy about it that I kept on fighting.
“I miss him…….”
To be honest, I have both good and painful memories of my master.
I had been practicing hard since I was little, and I was so tired that I felt like throwing up every day.
At the time, I was fed up and disgusted with those days, but it is clear now that my master was doing it for my sake.
He said that he started training me as a child because he didn’t know how to raise me…..he also said that he wanted me to be strong because I had no other family than my master.
Well, awkardness suits my master.
But I often think that I’m glad I continued. After all, I was able to protect Yui today.
“Speaking of which, is this event really a scene that took away from Koudo’s activities?”
If I’m not mistaken, I think Yui’s liking for me has gone up quite a bit.
Well, that doesn’t mean anything will change…there’s no way I can choose not to help in order to not increase my likeability.
Even if there was an event where Koudo would be playing his role, there’s no way I could call myself her friend if I didn’t help Yui if she was in danger…even if this world is an eroge world, for me right now, Yui and the others are human beings with proper intentions in the real world.
There’s no saving or loading, so there’s no other option.
“Oh well. Speaking of which, I should contact Yui just in case. I’m worried about her mental condition.”
With that in mind, I picked up my phone and sent a message to Yui.
[Yui, are you okay? I contacted you because I was worried.]
The message was read immediately after I sent it, but it took a few minutes before the reply came back.
[I’m fine, thanks to you, Kei kun.]
[I see. I’m glad.]
It’s hard to convey emotion with just text, but I wonder if she seems more okay than I thought.
Normally, she would have been scared by the incident……
As I was thinking about this, I received a reply.
[Hey? Kei kun? I’ll be in your care from now on.]
I wondered what she meant by that. But I already know……
[Hm?What’s going on all of a sudden? Isn’t that normal. I’ve been telling you for a while that I don’t have any friends other than you, so you can take my word as it is.”
When I responded, I received another reply immediately.
[Yeah. I’m your first friend, so even if you make other friends, don’t forget about me, okay?]
[Of course not. I’m not that heartless.]
[I’m just kidding. I know you’re not that kind of person. You helped me today, and you will continue to help me, right?]
[Of course I intend to. Don’t hesitate to tell me.]
[I’ll be counting on you, Kei kun.]
[Yeah, I’m glad to hear that you’re doing well. I’m going to sleep now, so good night.]
[Good night.]
“Well, I’m glad she’s fine. I felt a little uncomfortable, but it doesn’t seem like it’s anything to worry about. It’s pretty much the same as usual…I guess I’ll go to bed.]
◇
–The next day I went to school as usual.
When I entered the classroom, I saw many people sitting in their seats studying with their friends.
Well, the test starts tomorrow, so it’s natural that everyone will be anxious.
I took my seat while thinking about this, but when I looked toward Koudo and the others, Yui was not there.
Normally she would have gone to school with them and put her bag on the desk before talking to Koudo….but her bag isn’t even there.
The first time I’ve ever seen Yui not yet come to school,……I don’t think she’s dragging yesterday’s events down with her.
I hope she’s ok.
–Then 10 minutes passed and Yui came to school just as the chime was about to ring.
She was breathing a little heavily, so she must have come running in a hurry.
When Yui entered the classroom, she came straight to her seat and took her seat.
“Good morning, Yui.”
“Ah, good morning, Kei kun.”
“Anyway, it’s unusual for you to come at such a last minute. Did something happen?”
I asked her that, and Yui answered shyly, blushing a little.
“No, nothing happened, but…..I got a little lost in thought and had to go to bed late,…..so I’m fine.”
“Is that so? Well, I’m glad you’re okay.”
It doesn’t seem like she’s dragging on yesterday’s incident, and she doesn’t seem to be worried about it, so I decide not to ask any more about it.
Soon after that conversation, the teacher came into the classroom and the class started.
–The last class of the day was over and I was about to leave.
“Then, I’m going home, see you tomorrow, Yui.”
“Eh, Kei kun ! If you don’t mind, today……”
As Yui was about to say something to me, Koudo spoke to Yui from behind.
“Hey Yui ! We have a test tomorrow, so help me study !”
“Eh, erm…….”
Yui was told so, and she was glancing in my direction and was not saying anything.
Hmm, I can easily imagine the words that would follow, but…..what should I do in this case?
I don’t think she needs to hesitate because she didn’t make a promise with me,…..this means she also wants to study with me after all.
Hmm, but from the looks of it, Mitsuki san and Sakai are probably with her too…….I don’t know what the right answer is, but I don’t want to cause any unnecessary conflicts for Yui’s sake…….
There’s no need for her to think that she has to study with me, or the atmosphere will get really bad.
I think it would be better to say that I have something to do.
“Then…..I have something to do, so I’m going home.”
“Y-yeah…….bye-bye. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
After saying that, I passed by Yui and Koudo, but…eh?
I felt like Koudo was staring at me intensely……
Well, I really only saw him for a moment, so I guess it was just my imagination……
