“Haa.”
I took Mitsuki home after my part-time job and then went home and collapsed into bed.
“I was the one who decided to live a normal life regardless of the story…”
I remember I thought that when I became friends with Yui, right?
Of course, at that time, I had no ulterior motives towards Yui.
I was thinking of building a relationship with Yui as her love advisor and friend…well, I didn’t really think about it that deeply, but that’s how I felt for the time being.
“But when I look at Yui and Mitsuki these days…”
Mitsuki was being obvious today.
I don’t think I’m wrong, but I wouldn’t be so shy about calling someone by their first name if I didn’t like them.
As for Yui, we were originally close, but ever since she had a falling out with Koudo, we have become even closer.
As for Akari, well, it’s not that great…..but I can sense a clear fondness from the two of them, especially Yui.
I certainly want Yui, Mitsuki and Akari to be happy, but…..
Yui was my first friend, and I honestly think I was pretty energized by her, and she’s always cheerful and warm.
Mitsuki is kind and hardworking. Not many people can work so hard for the sake of others, and work hard until they fall over.
At first I didn’t feel that way, but recently I realized that I was slowly becoming attracted to Yui and Mitsuki.
As I got to know them…..as I got to know their personalities…..
“Haa.”
It’s only recently that I realized I like them as friends, but I don’t think I’ve gone as far as liking them romantically……
I’ve been adjusting to this reality a little bit since I realized that this world isn’t a game world, and I don’t think about it much anymore.
In such a situation, if Yui and the others showed favor to me, I don’t know what to do…I hadn’t even expected this development, so to be honest, I’m confused.
“I mean, what the hell is Koudo doing?”
Seriously, what that guy is doing is not what I would do to someone I like.
Like what happened to Yui this time, but when Akari is attacked by a stalker, it’s not normal for him to choose to play a game with his friends instead of talking to Akari, right?
In general, you could look out for the three of them more !
I understand that your relationship with your guy friend is important too, but……don’t get your priorities mixed up.
It’s obvious that Yui is moving away from you, and yet you still don’t do anything about it,…..or you can’t do anything?
“I’m getting frustrated just thinking about it……”
Yikes ! I’m starting to remember how I felt when I watched Koudo in a game in a previous life……
I mean, yeah, Koudo was insensitive and hurt the heroines and got into a lot of fights with them.
And that got on my nerves too, so I quit playing.
“……Whew, let’s calm down for once.”
I guess getting annoyed with Koudo now will only add to my stress.
“Now that I think about it, am I stealing Koudo’s love event?”
It’s obvious that Yui and the others are getting more favorable toward me, and on the contrary, from what I know, Koudo’s favorability has been declining.
I don’t know what Akari and Mitsuki think of Takado, but as for Yui, I’m pretty sure.
Well, even if that’s the case, of course I would never choose not to help them because of that.
I can say that the only people in this world that I’m truly involved with and can call friends are Yui, Mitsuki, and Akari.
Of course, there are other people that I have some contact with, but compared to them, I don’t know if I can call them friends.
It is unacceptable for those three people to be hurt. Especially since all three of them are good girls.
“……Okay ! Let’s not think about anything difficult and just do what I want. This world is real and there’s no hero, heroine, mob, or whatever.”
As I was thinking that and getting blown away, my phone rang.
(Ping)
The notification was a call from Akari.
[Shindo senpai, are you free right now?]
[Sure.]
[About tomorrow, I said 6:00, but is it okay if I change it to 5:00? We’re gonna have dinner a little earlier.]
[Fine by me, buyt is there something wrong?]
[No, it’s nothing serious. But I was told that my brother might come home earlier than expected.]
I knew that Akari was intentionally trying to keep me and Koudo apart.
[I see. I understand…thanks again for being considerate.]
[What do you mean, ‘being considerate’?]
[Well, you’re trying to make sure I don’t meet Kou….Sora, right?]
[Well, you’re right. But this is more convenient for us, so don’t worry about it.]
It’s true.
If you think about it normally, if Koudo and I aren’t on good terms, wouldn’t it be really awkward for Akari and Akari’s mother?
As I was thinking that, Akari continued.
[I can understand why you have hostile feelings toward him, but he’s not at all to blame. I also heard what happened with Yui san.]
After all, they’ve been together for a long time, so she knows everything.
Actually, I’m a little happy when Akari says things like this.
Compared to when we first met, I feel like she’s opening up to me a lot more.
[Thank you. If you have any problems, you can rely on me, too. I’m your senior.]
[Please don’t emphasize the word ‘senior’……besides, aren’t you treating me like a child? ……But, well, yes.
If there’s anything I need, I’ll be able to rely on Senpai……]
[You’ve become more honest than when we first met.]
[I-I don’t know about that,……but I was pretty straightforward in the beginning…..]
……When we first met, Akari called me “Mr. Loner”.
No, she seemed like a cocky junior, but she said honestly what she thought, so is she honest?
But since Yui was the one who told her that, so it’s not even Akari’s fault?
No, well, it’s not something that I should be worried about.
[Right. You were very honest, Akari.]
[……T-that’s enough of that, so please come properly tomorrow ! ! ! It’s five o’clock ! You can’t be late !]
I said that again as if I was making fun of her, and Akari replied in an embarrassed tone rather than angry……
[I know, I know. I’ll see you tomorrow.]
[Y-yes. See you tomorrow.]
“…Today isn’t the first time I’ve made fun of Akari, but I think I can understand Yui’s feelings a little better.”
Yui often makes fun of me, and when I get a good reaction from Akari, it’s certainly a good thing……
But, I don’t remember having any particularly interesting reactions.
“Well, it doesn’t seem like she’s gonna hate me, so it’s okay. If she really didn’t like it, with her personality, she would probably tell me.”
Thinking about this, I got ready for bed.
