I have talked with Okai-san during the Golden Week holidays and exchanged some contact information with her recently, but we are not that close.
Being alone with her at the end of the school day was a surprise.
“W-Well~, this time of year is gloomy and unpleasant, isn’t it?”
“…..right”
“………”
It’s awkward.
Okai-san is far from her usual self, and her conversation is lacking in sharpness. If anything, Okai-san is also a rather noisy …… pleasant and cheerful type of person. But now, the air is heavy and heavy.
The reason for this is known. It’s because she had a fight with Suika earlier.
I met her there, invited Okai-san, and we ended up going home together.
“…………”
“…………”
I regret inviting her if it was going to be in this kind of atmosphere.
The reason for this is to ask about the reason for the fight and about Suika. I told myself that and tried to somehow connect the conversation.
But Okai-san never tried to talk, wondering what she was thinking. Even when I tried to strike up a conversation with her, she was the same as before.
……Someone help me.
The usual ones come in response to such help/
＊＊＊
—Paan
“Kyaa!”
“Cold!?”
＊＊＊
Oh, this is the worst. The one where the car gets caught in a puddle of water.
And the predicted future comes sooner than I think.
A bright car light from behind me. I notice it and reflexively pull Okai-san’s arm.
…….Paan
“Look out!”
“Kyaa!”
The car horn and Okai-san’s scream are the same. But the result is different.
We avoided getting soaked in the nick of time.
“…… hey, Ito-kun?”
“M-my bad …….”
The only thing I didn’t expect was that I ended up hugging Okai-san.
I’m not …… doing it on purpose!
Okai san told me, and I hurriedly let go.
Okai-san’s face turned slightly red and she spoke with a glare.
“Do you happen to be flirting with various girls like this?”
“………”
It’s sad that I can’t say it’s not true. The word “meddling” is still a misnomer.
Then, after a short pause, I say in denial
“I didn’t.”
“…… pfft, hahahaha!”
Did I say something so funny? I waited in silence until she stopped laughing, not knowing why on earth she was laughing at me.
“Kuhu, hahahaha! What was that pause? That means you’re going to figure it out!”
“No, it really doesn’t.”
“Kuhuhu……, hi-hi, my stomach hurts……!”
“……, aren’t you laughing too much?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I just thought I could imagine what it would be like!”
Is that what she thinks of me at school? The transfer student who is always messing around with the girls.
….. too disgusting.
“I’m sorry! Well, thank you ……”
…… you’re welcome.”
I replied a little bluntly.
“Haha, you’re sulking? I’m sorry I made you feel uncomfortable! It wasn’t like that.
Sorry, sorry!”
She teased me again.
Still, considering the dark expression on her face earlier, it might have been a good opportunity for her.
“…Well, you just had a fight with Suika. I understand how you feel.”
“Really?~ Then, do you know what I’m thinking right now?”
“I-I don’t know.”
close ……!
I’m shocked when she suddenly peeks into my face. What is it suddenly?
“Ito-kun. Do you have any change?”
“I do. ……”
“Give me some!”
Okai-san slowly pulled her face away from mine as I answere
Why in the world ……? I tilted my head and did as I was told, pulling coins out of my wallet and handing them over.
She didn’t say how much change she had in her wallet, so I gave her a 500-yen coin that I happened to have in my wallet.
“Are you going to start some kind of magic trick? Maybe 10,000 yen? If that’s the case, I’ll prepare a lot of 500 yen coins, right?”
“Well, watch! Thanks!”
Okai-san accepts the 500 yen coin, thank me, and walks straight to the vending machine.
Then she stopped in front of a vending machine and put them in without question.
Bleep …… clank clank clank. Chirin-chirin-chirin …….
Bleep …… clank clank.
“Eeh…….”
I couldn’t react to anything because it was so obvious that she was buying juice with other people’s money.
Instead of becoming 10,000 yen, the 500 yen coin turned into two plastic bottles.
Wow, amazing magic.
“Here! Which one do you want?”
What was offered to me was a bottle of Coca-Cola and a bottle of Poca-Cola.
I, being a carbonated supremacist, chose the Coke without hesitation.
“It’s going to be a long drink, so why don’t we sit down and talk over a drink? Here’s your change!”
Okai-san pointed to a nearby bench and said
…… Is this my treat?
I was about to say that, but I held it back.
◆
Once again, we both sit on a wooden bench that is slightly damp from the rain. It’s a little uncomfortable.
Let’s get right down to it. The reason I asked her out today is because of the fight she had with Suika.
“I know what you want to ask me, Ito-kun. Can I ask you something first?”
“…I don’t mind.”
What’s this all of a sudden? What is it that you want to ask me? It’s not about what type of girl I like, is it?
I get strangely nervous when someone says something like that to me when I’m alone with a girl.
“The other day, Ito-kun and Suika went out for a playdate. She went out to refresh herself, but she came back even crazier.”
“Ugh”
It was totally different. I’m ashamed to admit that I was thinking about the type of person I like. I was thinking like Sasaoka.
“You see, she seemed to be acting like she normally does, but she wasn’t like that at all.”
As expected of a best friend. She’s watching me very carefully. I also felt a sense of discomfort, but I had no proof. But it was still a painful story to hear. I’m sure something happened, but I’d like to hear about it.
“I don’t know if this is possible, but did you do something …… weird?”
“What …… weird thing?”
That day, we just went to a normal movie, went into a normal cafe and talked.
I want to believe that there was nothing weird …… about it. There wasn’t, was there?
I opened a Coke to calm down and put it in my mouth.
“You didn’t do anything naughty?”
“Pufh….No way……!”
“Whoa …….”
What are you talking about, all of a sudden! All the coke just popped out! After that, please don’t say it again!
“Look, Suika doesn’t have a tolerance for that kind of thing. And boys are wolves after all. ……I wonder if you guys would do something like that if you were alone together.”
“Who’s a wolf?”
“Because you hugged me just now.”
“No, it was an accident.”
“Ehhh?~”
“Don’t look at me like that.”
What kind of person does she think I am? Am I too dangerous?
“Sorry, sorry, I teased you too much. I just really wanted to know why.”
“…..I didn’t do anything to her. We were going to a cafe together, and when I left for a while, when I came back, she suddenly announced that she was leaving. I would also like to know the reason.”
“……Eh, isn’t that just because you left a girl on a date and she got mad at you and left?”
“……”
I can’t deny it ……!
Don’t look at me with such a shocked face! Because it’s different. Because it should be different…!
Sadly, in order to prove my innocence, it seems that I have to find out why Suika’s behavior has become strange.
“It was probably different. It was really sudden.”
” …… hmmm. Then maybe something happened while you were away from your seat.”
“If anything, that’s it.”
“Then we’ll never know.”
“…….right”
At that time, if I hadn’t used my future predictions to help Yuuri, would she not have done what she did?
Still, now that I can see it, I have no choice but to go help Yuuri.
These days, apparently, I don’t think that everything is going to be all right with the future prediction.
No, originally? So there were some disadvantages as a result of changing the future.
Like the slap from Yuri
“Well then, that’s all I want to ask. Well then, here you go!”
Finally. Before I get into the main topic, I’m really tired. I’ve been teased too much. It’s a different type of teasing from Fujibayashi’s.
“Well, let me ask you, why were you fighting with Suika today?”
“……Yeah. Actually…”
From there, I began to ask Okai-san about today and Suika in more detail.
