–The next day I went to school as usual and took my seat.
“Okay, then it’s about time to change seats.”
The teacher came into the classroom and said so.
Some of my classmates were happy and some were sad.
Koudo, Yui san and the others looked a little disappointed since the four of them were seated close together.
“Then, please come and draw lots in the order of the names on the list.”
One after another, my classmates went to draw lots.
After all, the window seat at the far left is the best seat…it’s calm and relaxing.
And I drew lots—
“Okay ! Then, please move to the seat that matches the number you drew.”
Hearing the teacher’s words, my classmates started to move in unison.
I moved too, and to my surprise, I got the seat I wanted……but something a little unexpected happened.
“Hello ! Kei kun !”
“A-ah, hello.”
Yes, Yui san came to sit next to me.
“You should be more happy, you’re sitting next to me now.”
Yui san gave me a stern look and said so.
“No, no, no, I’m rather happy. Yui san is the only friend I have.”
“Hmm, I wish that were the case……”
“Besides, are you okay with it, Yui san? You’re the only one left out.”
“I’m a little sad, but I’m not that worried about it.”
“I see. Well, that’s good.”
“Yeah……”
After a few moments of silence, Yui san began to speak.
“For me…it’s fun to be with Sora and others, but it’s a little painful…”
“Is it okay to talk about it in a place like this?”
“It’s fine. If we lower our voices like this, no one will hear us in the classroom where everyone is making so much noise.”
Well that’s true.
My classmates were having a great time as we changed seats.
If the next class had been in the classroom instead of P.E, it definitely would have been annoying.
“That’s true, so what was it?”
“Yeah……Kei kun, what do you think about Mitsuki and Akari chan?”
“Hm? What do you mean?”
“Do you know who they like?”
“Well, let’s see, they’re the same as Yui san, isn’t it?”
“I see……that’s why it’s fun, but I’m anxious,……I’ve been having these feelings all my life,……”
You must have been through a lot…I thought you were smiling all the time.
“It must be tough, Yui san.”
“Yeah,….. but talking to Kei kun like this makes me feel a little better,……because I didn’t have anyone like that until now.”
“I’ve only been talking to you for a short time, though.”
“That’s why it’s strange. I don’t really understand either, but it’s Kei kun after all.”
I don’t really know why, but if it makes her feel more relaxed, it’s not a bad thing.
“I told you yesterday, I’m always ready to talk to you.”
“Well, then, will you hang out with me after school today?”
“After school? I don’t have anything to do. What are we gonna do?”
“I just want to talk to you more about what’s going on and what I need to talk to you about.”
“Okay.”
“All right, it’s settled.”
“Yeah.”
I was going to hang out with Yui san after school.
◇
–I was talking to her at a café after school.
“To put it bluntly, from your point of view, what do you think of the three of us as women?”
“Well, it’s the three girls that often hang out together, right?”
“Yes.”
“I’ve never talked to the othr two and I don’t know their personalities, but in terms of looks, I think all three of you are of a very high standard, even better than the idols.”
“Am I as good as them?”
“Yeah.”
“You really think so?”
Yui san asked me that with a dubious expression.
Why are you so suspicious?
What’s the point of telling such a lie?
“Of course…..there is no way I would lie like that.”
“I see, I see…….”
I said that with a serious face, and Yui san looked a little happy.
“For me, Mitsuki and Akari chan are so cute that I’m losing confidence more and more…however, I can’t compare them to each other and ask which one is prettier, and Sora also seems really happy when he talks to those two.”
“Aren’t you overthinking this? You should be more comfortable.”
When I said that, Yui san thought about something for a while before opening her mouth.
“If I can do that, I won’t have any trouble, but thank you…I’m a little more confident.”
“I see….I’m glad to hear that.”
After a few quiet moments, Yui san grinned and said.
“By the way, Kei kun, don’t you have anyone you’re interested in?”
“I don’t think so, since I hardly ever talk to anyone.”
“It’s not unusual for you to be interested in someone even if you haven’t talked to them before.”
I remember most of the names of my classmates, but the only ones I really looked at were the three heroines, Koudo, and Sakai.
So I never really thought about who I like or anything like that.
“Well, she’s not here anyway.”
“Hmm, I see…….well, Kei kun certainly seems to be pretty old fashioned.”
“Hmmm? I don’t think so.”
“Really? Then, have you ever had a girlfriend?”
……I feel bad saying it……
“No, I haven’t.”
“You see……you’ve never been confessed to?……”
Stop looking at me like I’m a poor guy.
It certainly wasn’t in a previous life, but with this body, I’ve been confessed to a few times……well, I’ve turned them all down……
Hmm? That means before my reincarnation, I’ve never been confessed to…….
No, but now that I’m Shindo Kei, it’s okay to say I’ve had a confession.
I don’t want to say I haven’t because I feel like I’ll look like a fool……
“I’ve been confessed to many times,……but I’ve turned them all down, and I can’t go out with someone I don’t have feelings for.”
“Then again, it’s not uncommon for boys to try dating anyway.”
“Well, I guess there are some people who do that,…..but there are also girls who want to date because they are willing to,……and vice versa.”
“Yeah, that’s true….well, each to their own.”
“I guess you could say that.”
After saying that, our eyes met and we both burst out laughing.
“It’s really fun talking to Kei kun, you don’t have to worry about it at all.”
“Well, I’m having fun too, so it’s mutual.”
“Can I have some time to talk to you like this from now on?”
Yui san looked down a little and asked.
“Yeah, of course.”
“I see, thank you ! We’ve talked a lot today, so let’s go home !”
“I guess so.”
So Yui san and I left the cafe.
“Do you want me to walk you home?”
“Are you after me, by any chance?”
I asked her and she grinned back at me.
“No, it’s a little dark outside.”
“Fufu, I’m just kidding, I’ll ask you to take me home then.”
“Oh, but it might not be a good idea if someone sees.”
“If you put it that way, sure…..”
“Okay, I’ll keep my distance and follow you. My house is also close to Yui san’s house.”
“Eh? Is that so?”
“Yeah, I was on my way back from buying a bento at a convenience store that night, and it’s only a five minute walk from Yui san’s house.”
“Well, that’s good, then. Even if someone sees us, I can tell them that I happened to meet you and went home with you because our house is close…I feel bad if you kept your distance.”
Hmmm, well, just in case.
Now that I think about it, it’s dangerous for us to be together at a cafe after school, but it’s too late now.
“Yui san will be the one troubled by the misunderstanding….boys are surprisingly jealous.”
“Is that so? But will Sora get jealous? I’m usually the one who’s jealous…….”
If you put it that way, I guess so……
He’s also flirting with Mitsuki san and Akari……
And above all, he’s insensitive.
“But just in case,……we’re on the same way home, and you don’t have to feel bad.”
“If you say so.”
“Yeah.”
After that, I dropped Yui san off and headed home.
