Several hours had passed since the incident with Miyabi. I returned to the student council room after that, and having managed to keep the place in check, I was back at home.
Next to me was Yamanashi, who was still there for some reason. Next to her sat Miyabi, whom I had to shelter for the night for her own safety. The room was filled with a strange atmosphere because of the unusual members.
As I sipped my coffee, thinking how awkward it was, it was Yamanashi who opened her mouth.
“I’ve been thinking a little bit about your treatment, Tsukishiro san”
“E-eh? Treatment?”
“Yeah…. I’ve been thinking about it a lot, and I’ve decided to compromise on you as his second wife. I will definitely be first wife. That’s the deal.”
“Second wife? The exchange? You’re not dating Yamanashi san, are you, …… senpai?”
“We are dating.”
“I’m not going out with you. …… Yamanashi, don’t do this because Miyabi is confused.”
“‘This is about our important future, okay? What if this girl is defeated by me, who is the absolute leader of the world, and she gets upset and stabs Sendo-kun to death?”
“Miyabi wouldn’t do something like that, and if she did, it’s more likely that you would. Calm down for now.”
I hold down her shoulders and calm her down. I’m surprised that she’s negotiating rationally, which is quite a rare case, but at the same time, I remember Misuzu’s story and feel a little sorry for her.
After being soothed by me, Yamanashi sipped her coffee in disapproval. Hey, that’s my mug.
“I don’t trust the …… other vixens, but Tsukishiro-San, I can trust you a little. I’m a little more willing to trust you.”
“H-ha……”
“But I’m the first. I’m not so foolish as to give up my place so easily.”
“I’m being looked at very hostilely ……. What is this person, senpai?”
“It’s the extremely popular model, Yamanashi Anri. She’s the woman who will become your rival”
“…… Yamanashi…Anri……? ‥‥‥‥ ah ！！！！！”
Miyabi was astonished, but at the same time seemed somehow convinced. It seemed that up until that moment she had no idea who she was.
Perhaps for someone who spent all her time partying at night she couldn’t have cared less about the rest of the world.
“What, you didn’t know?”
“I thought I’d heard that name somewhere, but …… you were at our school. No wonder she’s so beautiful. ……”
Miyabi gazed intently at her face, which seemed somehow proud.
The perfectly formed face of this Japanese treasure, said to be a once-in-a-century talent, struck Miyabi as beautiful, and her crimson eyes sparkled.
“I knew that models are different. ……What do you use for cosmetics?”
“The cosmetics I’m using right now are cosme de corte and the face powder is Louboutin La Poudre. It doesn’t fall apart and it gives a natural look.”
Miyabi and Yamanashi continued to engage in girl talk. From the occasional chuckles heard in the conversation, it seems that the two are kindred spirits. Fate is not to be underestimated when you find yourself in the company of someone who resembles your lost friend.
With their happy mood in the back of my mind, I started to get ready for bed.

I was staring up at the ceiling in the dimly lit living room.
After that, the three of us ate dinner together, and although we had some trouble over the order of taking a bath and changing clothes, we managed to settle the matter.
The two girls were in bed, and I was lying on the couch like this. My mind was filled with thoughts of home.
The house was spacious and full of elegance. I had no siblings, so I had to take care of myself and digest everything. I might have been able to handle it now, but it was too much for me at that time.
It was a hell for me to be in that situation where the house was always around me no matter what I did. That’s why I am now living in a school far away from home. I wonder how long this life on the run will last.
“…… haa.”
I let out a sigh toward the immaculate ceiling. It’s depressing to think about that house. If I’m going to worry about it, I’d rather worry about something else.
While I was thinking about that, the source of my worries came from the door leading to the hallway. She had win a game of rock-paper-scissors and was wearing my jersey from junior high school as a nightgown, and she looked a little more listless than usual.
“….Can’t sleep?”
“Yes. I was reminded of Misuzu a little.”
I got up and sat down next to her, and she sat down next to me. She, too, is stuck in the past.
“Tsukishiro, she look just like her. The way she look at my eyes, the way she smiles, it’s like she’s Misuzu reincarnated. Though her personality is completely different.”
“……What kind of personality did this Misuzu have?”
“……She was a bit natural and naive, but she was sarcastic and strong. She still had her childishness, but that was the cute part.”
As she spoke, Yamanashi turned her eyes to the scenery outside as if she were looking into the distant past. She is still struggling in the darkness, seeking the light she has lost.
Yamanashi clapped her hands as if remembering something and brought her face close to mine.
“I had something on my mind. When we were talking in the student council room, Sendo-kun said that Tsukishiro-san was a mirror, right? What did he mean by that?”
“……That person reminds me of my old self. I’m struggling alone with things at home, and I want help, but I can’t be honest with myself about it.”
I thought that even if I hid it from her, she would find out anyway, so I told her, but Yamanashi looked a little surprised and froze when she saw me.
“…… Sendo-kun is something wrong?”
“Well, you know. The most important thing to remember is that you can’t just go out and buy a new pair of jeans and a new pair of jeans.
“Yeah. It’s not something I should tell anyone about… But I’ll tell you when the time comes.”
“…I see. We’re both stuck in our own troubled pasts.”
“Ha ha, right.”
Laugh a little and punch the depressing past away. If not, it was likely that the mood would not last until tomorrow.
“I wonder if there will ever come a time when Sendo-kun will show his weakness to me? “
“I wonder. Maybe the time will come when you make me want to.”
“Fufu, then, it may not be so far off in the future. I’m going to be next to you no matter what.”
Whether one should call her confident or arrogant, Yamanashi’s stance is always the same. That is both her strength and her weakness. I could only smile at her dependable appearance now.
“…… By the way, Sendo-kun, why do you only call Tsukishiro-san by her name?”
“……Well, I’m starting to feel sleepy. Then Yamanash—..”
“No. Just answer the question.”
“…..Can’t we talk about it tomorrow?”
“No.”
The interrogation by Yamanashi, who was in a yandere mode, turned into a prolonged battle that lasted for several hours.
