Wednesday morning, I was at school waiting for classes to start.
Yesterday I was tired from all sorts of things.
After school, I went to a karaoke bar and punched and kicked three guys, two of whom were coming toward me, and had a discussion with Hakariya, Akamori, and Yuki,
On the way home from dropping Akamori off, she asked me if she could like me without my permission.
…….
I can only think that both Hakariya and Akamori misunderstood me.
When it comes to Akamori, she saw me violating people without hesitation, but I really don’t know what kind of psychology she’s going through.
My sister Yuki went to Chika chan’s house yesterday as a post-processing after having a nice talk with Hakariya, and stayed there.
I wanted to talk to her about Akamori, but I couldn’t.
She was also ready to go straight to school.
Chika chan’s father, who looks like a yakuza and is a great police officer, must be deliriously happy.
The knee I put in the blonde yesterday is a little sore. I was thinking about that as I stroked it.
“Yukimi kun, you look kind of tired.”
I was thinking about that as I stroked my blonde hair yesterday.
“Well yeah.”
“I wonder if Yukimi kun will be able to handle the flames of the Internet.”
“……? Oh, yes.”
I answered appropriately.
“Please talk to me anytime. I’m your only friend.”
She laughs at me as if she is making fun of me.
Futaba, who usually seems like a low-tension, energy-saving person, seems to be having fun only when she talks to me.
In fact, there is a difference compared to the way she deals with other classmates.
When she talks to girls, but not to boys, she goes beyond low tension to zero tension and nothingness.
Thanks to this, she became loose with me in the classroom.
I wish she would just smile like this on a regular basis.
The thick hoodie she always wears over her school uniform suits Futaba well,
Her heavy bob cut, big eyes, and white skin would make her popular.
I guess her talking a lot with me is a minus point.
“Hm? Is there something on my face? Or are you just admiring me?”
The theatrical expression on her face is a little on the nose.
It doesn’t match her childish face.
I think this is another factor that makes it hard to get to know her.
I felt a little mischievous.
“No, can I talk to you right away?”
“Eh? Ng…ah……what?”
I put my hands on Futaba’s left ear to prevent the sound from escaping, took a deep breath, and spoke in one breath.
“I’ve decided to go out with Hakariya Hakari. What should I do?”
“Nn……eh……? Huh……!?”
Futaba stood up with a clattering sound.
Kukuku. You’re better off with that kind of genuine expression.
“Don’t tell anyone.”
“Normally you wouldn’t believe it…….”
Ah, so Futaba believes me?
She’s a surprisingly good guy.
The fast-moving fingers start to touch the phone while muttering something.
A gloomy aura is overflowing.
Scary.
At that time, a boy talked to her from behind.
“You guys are so close, aren’t you?”
It’s Takagi kun, a member of the soccer team.
He’s handsome, good-looking, and a good student. He’s the ace of our strong soccer team, even though he’s only a sophomore.
I think he is popular.
The reason why I know so much about him is because I’ve heard about him from Hinoriwa.
“……”
Futaba is silent.
“Yeah, because we’re friends.”
Futaba didn’t speak, so I had no choice but to answer.
“How can I be friends with Futaba chan?”
“Don’t know.”
“Don’t know, you said……you. Are you kidding me?”
Takagi was getting irritated.
Takagi is surprisingly that type of guy.
I thought he was refreshingly handsome.
Now that I think about it, I feel like Hinoriwa didn’t say much either.
She said something about how his reputation and what’s inside don’t match up.
I stare at Takagi.
“What the hell?”
It can’t be helped.
“I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”
I apologize straight away.
“Ah? …..Y-yeah.”
Takaki kun is looking at me with a face like he’s lost his temper.
For some reason, Futaba was looking at me with eyes like she had swallowed a bitter insect.
Why? I apologized for Futaba’s part.
Takagi kun turns to face Futaba as if he’s regained his composure.
“Futaba chan, tell me your RINE or PINSTA.”
“……I didn’t do both.”
Futaba closed her eyes tightly.
“No way. Right, Yukimi Daifuku?”
So that’s where you’re coming to me.
I certainly know Futaba’s RINE.
But, I don’t want to tell him.
“She doesn’t want to tell you, you have to understand that.”
I don’t stir him up, but advise him honestly.
“……Ah? You’re picking a fight with me !?”
Takagi kun re-boils like an instantaneous water heater.
This time, he threatens me in a loud voice.
I sense that most of my classmates have started to pay attention to us.
The fact that the popular Takagi kun lost his temper sends a sense of tension through the classroom.
Takagi’s sharp eyebrows are twisted, and his center-parted face is turning red.
What should I do?
“Sorry, I shouldn’t have said it the way I did. It’s just that Futaba is not good at that kind of thing. I just happen to be a good friend of hers from childhood.”
She looked me straight in the eye.
Will he back away?
Takagi’s body was tense for a while, but then he let it go.
“……Of course I’m joking ! Don’t be too serious, Yukimi kun~. Futaba chan, I’ll ask you again. Horiguchi~, I’ve been rejected～!”
“How many times have you lost to Kouki san in a row, you idiot !”
In a playful tone, Takagi went back to his friend (Horiguchi? I don’t know).
I guess he had no place to attack me since Futaba and I were not at fault no matter how I looked at it.
Maybe it was because of my apology, but he didn’t seem to be the type to back down and self-destruct.
The classroom was buzzing and the air was restored.
I can hear a loud laugh, and I can feel the stares from the people around Takagi.
Nothing’s going to get out of you if you look at me that hard.
ーーーーーー☆彡
After that, Futaba didn’t talk to me between classes unlike usual and it was lunch break.
I sleep on the rooftop during lunch break on sunny days, so I got up to go there again today, and Futaba, who had been quiet the whole time, called out to me.
“I wondered if I could stay with you for lunch.”
Maybe she doesn’t like being tangled up with Takagi and the others?
“…..I’ll stop by the store and then go to the rooftop, is that okay?”
Futaba nods quietly.
She’s so honest.
I bought some bread at the store and went up the stairs to the rooftop.
Futaba seems to have brought her own lunch.
“Thanks for helping me out this morning. The childhood friend setting was kind of.”
Futaba told me my lie that time.
I couldn’t come up with a reason at once.
Of course, Futaba and I are not childhood friends or anything.
“I heard what the other guy says, have you been asked many times?”
I digress.
“Yeah……. I admire his mental fortitude to get up that many times.”
I thought that handsome popular guy had never asked for contact information and been turned down.
I feel like if she just tells him easily, he might lose interest.
I just imagine Takagi kun’s background.
Well, it doesn’t matter.
“It’s hard work, isn’t it?”
“……”
She gives me a hard look, but I ignore it.
Aside from this morning, it’s a problem between her and Takagi.
“More importantly, what did you say about Hakariya Hakari…..”
“We’re here.”
Futaba was about to say something, but the moment I opened the door to the roof, I was covered and couldn’t hear her clearly.
On the rooftop, Futaba looks around.
“……I didn’t know there were so many people on the rooftop. I thought I was a comic book character on the rooftop during lunch break.”
Hmm, my understanding of this guy is amazing.
“It’s open to the public.”
We talk as we walk.
Futaba is the type of person who touches her phone all the time, even during break time, so she probably didn’t know about it.
My spot is in the back corner where there are couches and tables.
It’s on the other side of the basketball court, relatively quiet, and I have a good view.
It’s behind the water tanks, so I guess not many people know about it, or basically no one comes here but me.
No, I think it’s a bit of an understatement to say that no one but me will come.
There was one girl who came to my mind.
She is someone who pops up in my life, not every day, but once in a while.
I walked to my destination thinking that I haven’t returned RINE yet, and there she was.
There was Mio, with her arms crossed, staring at me.
“……Yukimi, are you cheating on me already?”
This girl’s standing there, she’s so powerful.
