Immediately after the chime rang and the last class of the day was over, Yui, who was sitting next to me, came over to talk to me.
“Hey? Kei kun?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Erm, Kei kun, are you going home right after this?”
“Well, I guess so. I’m not doing anything in particular after this.”
When I said that, Yui fidgeted a little, then smiled and said.
“Then let’s go home together ! We live close to each other and…we’re friends, so we can hang out sometimes.”
“Well, I guess I’ll do that then.”
I had no reason to say no, so we decided to go home together.
“Yeah ! Let’s do that !”
So Yui and I decided to go home together.
“So what happened? Suddenly saying you wanna go home together? You usually go home with Koudo and the others, right?”
“Right. But there’s no particular meaning behind it, okay? I just wanted to go home with Kei kun once in a while, that’s all. Besides, I didn’t originally promise to go home with everyone today.”
Yui replies to my question with a smile.
Come to think of it, Yui hasn’t asked me much about Koudo lately…well, I guess I shouldn’t be the one to ask her.
Most of the time, I don’t feel like being misunderstood by Koudo now……because Yui herself told me not to worry about it from now on, even though I’ve said that many times before.
Even so, it’s a strange thing for her to say.
“I see…..now that I think about it, Yui came in second place in this test. There was only a few points difference between you and first place, which is really amazing.”
“Right ! I did my best this time too !”
“Maybe you can get first place in the next test?”
“Fufu, I hope so.”
“Yui can do it, I’m sure of it…….”
“Thank you, Kei kun.”
“Ah ! Speaking of tests, I saw the results of the first year, Akari is very smart, she almost got a perfect score.”
“Of course. She’s really smart. I think she spends less time studying than me. Akari chan is a really quick learner.”
Heh, from my point of view, Yui is probably the same, but if Yui said something like that, it’s a big deal.
–After we talked a little about the test, Yui changed the subject.
“By the way, Kei kun, did you play soccer?”
“You could say that. I used to play soccer a little bit.”
I can’t talk about my past life, so I can only say this.
“Eh? Just a little bit? Maruyama kun has been the ace of the soccer club for two years, you know?”
“Apparently so.”
“Apparently…..but, well, it was really cool….”
“……!”
Yui says that while looking down.
I was a little shocked because she said something like that so suddenly.
“It was really amazing, you know? The girls in your class also said you were cool.”
Next, Yui looked up and made fun of me as usual.
“You’re overreacting.”
“Overreacting……hey, Kei kun?”
“Hm?”
“Did Kei kun have something going on with Mitsuki?”
Yui looked at me suspiciously and said so.
“Eh? With MIyamoto san? What do you mean by that?”
“You two were getting along well today, weren’t you? You both came into the classroom talking happily…”
“Oh, that’s because we both got good test results, so we were happy about it.”
“Is that right?”
“Yeah.”
Well, that’s really what it was like then.
Just as we were having such a conversation, I met Mitsuki san.
“Ah……Yui chan and Shindo kun.”
“M-Mitsuki……”
The two looked at each other and looked a little awkward.
Seeing those two, I immediately decided to talk to Mitsuki san.
“Erm? Miyamoto san, are you on your way home now?”
“Yeah. Are you two going home together?”
“That’s right. I invited him to go home with me. Since we’re here, would you like to join, Mitsuki?”
“Right. It’s a good opportunity.”
“Then the three of us should go home together.”
–We decided to go home together, and we were talking as we walked.
“Erm? Kei kun? Mitsuki? I knew something was going on between you two.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Yeah, Yui chan”
“You’re obviously closer to each other. You’re talking more casually than before.”
I wasn’t that conscious of it, so I didn’t notice it, but it seems that way.
Well, I’m not hiding it, but I was thinking that if Mitsuki san didn’t say anything about it, I shouldn’t say anything about it either.
“Ah ! Mitsuki ! That look on your face says something is wrong, doesn’t it? Are you that reluctant to tell me?”
Well, Mitsuki san doesn’t seem to be the type of person who can hide things and I’m sure it’s easy for Yui to find out, with whom she’s so close.
“Erm, not really, but……”
“Then tell me about it, because I’m curious.”
“Yeah, I get it.”
Then Mitsuki san told her about that time.
It seemed that Mitsuki san was hiding the fact that she had been studying too much, and only said that she felt unwell.
“I see……then, Mitsuki became friends with Kei kun after he saved you and he ate Mitsuki’s home-cooked meal…….”
“Erm. Well, I guess that’s the gist.”
“I see. Kei kun…thank you. For saving Mitsuki.”
When Yui heard that, she looked at me and said that with a smile.
“It’s good to be truthful, and I get to thank him.”
“Anyway, I can’t believe Mitsuki is studying so hard…if you told me, I would’ve help too…”
“Yeah, I know…..but it’s totally for my convenience and I thought it might be annoying…..since I know you have your own studies to do.”
“Haa.”
When Mitsuki san said that, Yui sighed deeply before speaking.
“Um, Mitsuki? Me and Akari chan would never think of it as a nuisance, okay? If it was the other way around, you wouldn’t think so too, right?”
“That’s……true……”
“Right? Then don’t even think about it anymore, just talk to me about it, okay?
“That’s right. Thank you, Yui chan !”
“Yeah♪ You’re welcome.”
The two of them were saying that with a smile and holding each other’s hands.
When I saw the two of them, I was reminded once again that they were really good friends, and I smiled.
“What’s wrong, Kei kun? You’re looking at me with such a smile.”
“Is something wrong?”
“Oh, nothing, I just thought that you two are really close.”
“Naturally. We have a different level of trust than other people.”
“Hehehe, that’s right. I love Yui chan and Akari chan too.”
After that, we went home talking happily.
