“When I was little…..you can’t imagine what it’s like now, but I didn’t have any friends.”
“Eh?”
“You must be surprised, right? But it’s true. I was very passive at the time,……and then one day I met Sora because he was the kid of someone who was good friends with my father and mother.”
After that, Yui continued to speak matter-of-factly.
“I was afraid to meet him because I wasn’t sure if we would get along, even though he was the child of my parents’ best friend. When I actually met Sora, there was nothing special about him, and he was just like any other kid. Even so, because of my parents’ circumstances, I saw Sora more and more often, and each time I did, he would talk to me. But at the time, I couldn’t respond to him, so I just kinda ignored him.”
That’s surprising……it’s hard to believe if I look at Yui now.
“Things like that continued for a long time, and I started to be able to speak little by little, and about six months after we started, I was able to have a normal conversation. I felt like I could change a little, and even though I went to a different elementary school than Sora, I gradually worked up the courage to make friends on my own. I was filled with gratitude for Sora at that time, but I was not in love with him. But then we started going to the same junior high school, and we started spending more and more time together, and I found myself falling in love with him. So when people ask me what made me fall in love with him, I say I don’t know.”
I didn’t know she had such a past…..Sora even changed her as a person. Then I’m even more sorry that they fought because of me.
“Well, there were times when we fought, but still, there was never a boy I was closer to than Sora. The reason I said before that I have a lot of friends is because I’m considerate of them, maybe it’s because I didn’t have any friends when I was little……”
“I see…….so you have a past like that.”
Well, the more time you spend together, the more you get to know the good and bad things, but it’s not strange to have feelings for them.
With that in mind, I asked the question again.
“But if that’s the case, it would be even worse if things were to go on like this forever, wouldn’t it? It’s gonna be awkward with Miyamoto san and Akari, right?”
“Well, that’s true. But I’m gonna talk to the two of them after school today, so I think it’s fine. It seems like the two of then haven’t heard the rumors about Kei kun, so I’ll tell them exactly what happened, including that.”
“I see….let me know if there’s anything I can do to help, okay? Well, I don’t think there’s much I can do about Koudo, and I hope you and Koudo can make up soon…….”
When I said that, Yui’s expression turned a little gloomy, and then she said.
“Yeah. Thanks.. hey? Kei kun…”
“Hm? What’s wrong?”
“People’s feelings change, don’t they……and lately the bad parts are very noticeable…….”
“Eh? What does that….”
When I said that, Yui said with a smile unlike before.
“Forget it. It’s nothing ! Then it’s almost time for lunch break to end, so let’s go back to the classroom.”
“Ah, yeah, sure.”
Lunch break ended like that.

★ Tohsaka Yui (side)
–I’m talking with Mitsuki and Akari chan at my house right now.
We usually talk at a cafe, but today I invited them to my house.
Today’s topic is going to be about how I was saved by Kei kun in detail, so I thought it would be better to do it inside my house.
“Erm? Yui chan, so what do you wanna talk about?”
“That’s right. You said you had something important to talk about.”
The two asked fearfully.
I did say that I had something important to talk to these two about, but they don’t have to be so defensive…….
“Let’s see…..it’s actually about Sora and Kei kun.”
“Eh? Sora kun and Shindo kun?”
“What’s wrong between them?”
The two of them asked me anxiously.
“Yeah. Before that, I’d like to ask you what you think about Kei kun?”
“E-eh? What do I think of Shindo kun…..”
“W-what do you mean…..w-what’s going on?”
I asked that question to see if they had heard the rumors, but for some reason they were very upset.
What is going on?
“Well, actually, something happened recently…”
I told them everything from where Kei kun saved me to Sora–
“I see…..such a thing happened.”
“So, you haven’t spoken to Sora kun since yesterday…”
“Yeah. I should’ve told you earlier.”
“It’s okay. Above all, I’m glad Yui chan is safe.”
“True. I think so too.”
“Yeah ! It’s all thanks to Kei kun !”
When I said that with a smile, the two of them looked at me strangely.
“I see…… that Shindo senpai is……”
“Shindo kun ……”
“Yeah. And right now, I’m angry at Sora for saying bad things about my savior, so I’m not gonna forgive Sora until he apologizes…..I’m sorry, I know it’ll make things awkward.”
Kei kun didn’t mind at all and said things like it would be better if we made up, but even if I were to forgive Sora, I have no intention of forgiving him unless he bows his head.
I would like to make up with him eventually as a childhood friend, but I think it’s okay to do it slowly.
Before I met Kei kun, I would have thought that I had to make up with him as soon as possible.
Maybe Sora had some kind of memory filter on him……after meeting Kei kun, I’ve calmed down and thought about it, and Sora is very childish, he sometimes treats me inappropriately and sulks when things don’t go his way, so it’s really nice to see him as a childhood friend, but now I can’t see him as a love interest.
“Well, it’s Nii san’s fault…”
“R-right….he didn’t even bother to check the facts before he said something about the person who was friends with Yui chan…”
“That’s right…..but you two don’t have to worry about me and just get along with Sora, okay? Of course, I want you to get along with me as well as you have always done.”
“Naturally. There’s no reason why we can’t get along with Yui san.”
“That’s right, Yui chan ! I have the same opinion as Akari chan.”
When I heard that, I realized once again that I had really close friends.
