After leaving the movie theater, we separated into men and women and went to the restroom.
“Even though the final exams are almost here, do you have time to play with Kano san?”
“It’s the same for you, since there’s a staff meeting today and no club activities, it would have been better for you to go home and study instead of watching a movie with Suzuno.”
“I’ve been in first place all this time and I don’t plan to drop in the future.”
“Now that you mention it, I was in the top tier in the mid-term test by coming in 7th place, and I haven’t even gotten below 20th place since I entered high school.”
My brother and I are bickering like children while doing our business. This kind of bickering has been a regular occurrence for a long time.
We were still arguing when we washed our hands and left the bathroom, when suddenly my brother stopped. I wondered what was going on, and when I looked where he was looking, I saw Suzuno and Kano san, but that was not all.
In front of Suzuno and Kano san, there were two African men who were nearly two meters tall and obviously muscular even from a distance.
Kano san looked rather ordinary, but Suzuno looked frightened. She must have been hit on viciously.
I thought I had to save them as soon as possible, so I left my brother frozen next to me and started heading straight for the four of them without hesitation.
I knew that if I got into trouble because of the difference in size, I might get seriously injured, but I didn’t stop. I’m willing to sacrifice myself to save the girl I love and the girl who told me she loved me.
I was so determined that I got in between the four of them, but to sum up, I didn’t get in trouble or get hurt. In a word, it was all my misunderstanding.
“I just happened to meet and talk to an acquaintance who is an international student.”
“Oh yeah, those two guys from earlier look really scary, but on the inside they’re just really interesting Japanese otakus.”
“You really know a lot of people, don’t you, Onee chan?”
We moved to the food court and talked about such things while drinking the rest of the juice we bought at the movie theater stand. I was relieved that nothing had happened, but my brother, on the other hand, was very gloomy.
He didn’t even join our conversation at all and just kept silent. I can imagine why he is in such a state, but I don’t want to mention it because I feel sorry for him.
“Ayato kun, you’ve been quiet for a while now, are you perhaps not feeling well?”
“……No, I’m fine.”
Suzuno, who was worried about him, talked to him, but he was completely out of his mind. After that, we talked about our impressions of the movie until we finished drinking the juice, but he remained silent until the end.
“Yuito and I have some more places to go.”
“Eh, wait.”
“See you later, Yuito kun.”
Kano san forcefully took me by the arm and pulled me along as we began to move.
“Where the hell are you taking me this time?”
“Let’s go to SteBu for now, Yuito and I have a lot to talk about.”
When Kano san said that, she looked slightly angry, a complete contrast to her cheerful expression when we were talking at the food court earlier.
I wondered if I had unintentionally done something to offend Kano san. While I was thinking about this, we arrived at our destination. We each ordered a drink, picked it up at the counter, and took our seats.
“Thank you for trying to help me earlier.”
“No, I just acted because I thought I had to help you both.”
“But what were you going to do if Suzuno chan and I were really being hit on by a bad guy?”
“At that time, I was thinking of letting you escape while I could buy some time.”
If we had gotten into a fight, I wouldn’t have been able to win no matter how I looked at it, so all I could do was act as a scapegoat.
“Even if you do that, Suzuno chan and i might be saved, but you won’t.”
“As long as you two can be saved, I don’t mind.”
“There’s no way I’d be happy if I was saved by sacrificing Yuito.”
She was quite loud and was seen by the people around her.
“I don’t think I can stand the thought of the person I love being hurt because of me.”
“I’m sorry….”
I could only apologize to Kano san. If it were the other way around, I’m sure I’d be heartbroken too.
I looked down on myself too much. Kano san remained silent for a while, but finally opened her heavy mouth.
“….I’m sorry I got upset all of a sudden.”
“I’m also sorry.”
“I think Yuito’s actions are truly amazing, because without that kind of strength, you would never be able to do something like that. But I want you to remember that there are people who will be sad because of that.”
“I understand. I will keep that in mind.”
From now on, in order to avoid making Kano san sad, I’ll stop doing things that easily lead to self-sacrifice without thinking.
