It’s lunchtime at school and Yui and I are having lunch in an empty classroom.
Yui seems to be acting a little strange today.
It’s not that obvious, but she seems to be a little woozy and gloomy, and I’m sure many people don’t notice.
“Kei kun? We’ve been having lunch together since last week, are you bothered?”
“Not at all. In fact, I’m happy.”
“I see. I’m glad…..by the way, Kei kun? Do you have an older sister?”
Sister? I don’t know why she would suddenly ask such a question,
but I’m an only child. The same as my previous life.
“No, I’m an only child, so I don’t have any siblings.”
“I see…….”
When I replied, Yui’s expression turned a little gloomy for some reason.
“So, have you met any cute relatives recently?”
“No. Not really…”
“I see…….”
The expression on her face turned even darker when I said that.
It was obvious that Yui was acting strangely, so I decided to ask her.
“Erm, Yui? What’s going on?”
When I asked that, Yui fell silent for a bit, then looked at me quickly and said.
“Then, Kei kun, do you have a girlfriend?”
“Eh? No, I told you before, I don’t have a girlfriend.”
Yui’s face is very serious and not in a joking way, so I don’t really understand why she would ask such a question.
As I was thinking that, Yui asked with great intensity.
“Hmm, I’m gonna be blunt ! I saw it……Kei kun went on a date happily with a beautiful older woman yesterday at lunchtime…..what kind of relationship do you have with that woman?”
“Excuse me? A beautiful older woman? A date? What on earth are you talking about……”
What is she talking about? I haven’t gone on a date.
I didn’t see anyone I knew yesterday other than my mom, for the most part.
……No, wait? Don’t tell me she think she’s the beautiful older woman !?
Well, it’s true that my mom might look like my girlfriend to someone who doesn’t know her…..she looks that much younger.
There’s no way anyone would think that’s my mom at first sight…
I see, that’s why she asked me earlier if I had an older sister.
“Erm…..could it be this person?”
I said and showed her a picture of his mom on my phone.
“Y-yes ! That person?”
“Ah !
I see…….wo that’s why you misunderstood. You see, this is my mom, okay?”
“Eh? Eeeehh ! ! Wha ! But I thought Kei kun’s parents are on a business trip ! ! !???”
When I said that, Yui was astonished.
Well, when I first reincarnated, I was also extremely surprised, and this is probably a normal reaction. I don’t know if it’s possible to imagine having a high school kid with that look.
“She’s not my girlfriend, and it’s not a date, ……it’s just that I went out for dinner with my mom who came back from a business trip for a short time.”
“Ugh ! That’s a lie !? No matter what you say, she’s being your mother…..if she’s your sister, then……”
“That’s the truth. It’s true, even to me, my mom is extremely young.”
“Wha ! Is it true !?”
“Yes, it’s true. Well then, would you believe me if you saw this?”
I showed her a family photo of my dad and mom taken before they went on a business trip.
“This is my dad and this is my mom that I just showed you.”
“……I-I see……I see.”
When Yui said that, she seemed relieved and her shoulders seemed to relax.
Was this really…jealousy?
If so, I’d be pretty happy.
Thinking so, I felt happy.
“Now do you believe me?”
“Yeah. I believe you.”
“I’m glad you did. I mean, if you had called me when you saw me, I would’ve told you. You could’ve talked to me.”
“That’s impossible. If it had been your girlfriend, it would have been incredibly awkward, wouldn’t it?”
“……Well, I guess you’re right.”
“Besides, I wasn’t alone.”
“You weren’t?”
“Yeah ! I was with Mitsuki and Akari chan for the first time in a while, shopping together
!”
Were Mitsuki and Akari there as well…if that’s the case, I wonder if they’re both misunderstood as well?
If that’s the case, I’ll have to tell them properly later. It’s not good to let people misunderstand.
“I see. Then are Mitsuki and Akari also misunderstood like Yui?
“I guess so. They were very concerned about it.”
“Seriously……”
I knew it. I should probably tell my mom…..
“Oh ! That’s right ! That picture you just showed me……no, not that. Kei kun, you’re gonna show the picture of your mother to Mitsuki and Akari chan, right?”
“Well, of course. If Mitsuki and Akari are misunderstood, I have to solve that.”
“Then ! Let’s make a group of four of us on LIEN !”
“A group of four on LIEN?”
“Yes ! It’s a good opportunity…..if we’re gonna tell them anyway, let’s send them a picture on the LIEN group now and tell them ! They must be worried too !”
That’s fine, but those two are eating with Koudo and Sakai, right? Wouldn’t it be bad if they saw it?
I don’t think Koudo will pry into it every time, but there’s a chance he’ll see it.
“They’re probably with Koudo and Sakai right now, and wouldn’t it be bad if they found out?”
“Don’t worry. Sora and Kanata kun have been having lunch every Monday with their friends from different classes. And Kei kun, you don’t have to worry about Sora anymore, okay? Because that’s what we want.”
Is that so…..I didn’t know because I hadn’t eaten in the classroom ever since I transferred.
And that’s certainly true. It’s strange that I care about Koudo and get involved with Yui and the others…I don’t care as much as before, but there are times when I still care about the relationship between Yui and the rest.
Well, if Yui says so, I guess I’ll do as she says.
“I see. I’ll do that from now on. So are those two eating together right now? Mitsuki and Akari?”
“Yes, they are ! And you know what? Can I bring those two here next time?”
Well, there’s no reason for me to refuse now that I have Koudo out of my mind, so of course there’s no problem.
I’d like to get to know Mitsuki and Akari better, too.
“Of course it’s fine.”
“Thanks ! They’ll be happy to see you.”
“Really?”
“Yeah! Absolutely…also, I have to tell Kei kun this……actually, yesterday, I got a call from Sora and he apologized for saying something bad about Kei kun, so we kinda made up.”
“Eh? Is that so?”
That was a little surprising.
I didn’t expect Koudo to apologize now…I thought he couldn’t back down anymore since so much time had passed.
Well, including the fact that the target is me.
“But you know what, Kei kun?”
“Hm? What is it?”
“I don’t like Sora anymore, okay?”
“Eh?”
I reacted to the sudden words.
To be honest, I had a feeling, but I didn’t expect her to say so now.
“Our parents are on good terms, and he’s Akari chan’s older brother, so we made up as childhood friends, but I’ll never fall in love with Sora from now on. That’s why I’ll no longer ask Kei kun for love advice♪
Yui’s serious expression suddenly changed to a smile, as if she was trying to make the situation more relaxed.
“I see. But you know what, Yui? I did serve as a love counselor, but…I only consulted you once at a cafe, right?”
I said that intentionally in a joking manner.
“Fufu, that’s true. Well, I had fun when I was with Kei kun, so that’s probably why♪”
“I’m glad to hear that. I’m glad it wasn’t just me who had fun.”
“I see. I’m glad you had a good time too.”
Yui said with a big smile.
Every time I saw Yui like that, I felt more and more attracted to her.
