“Good morning ! Kei kun !”
“……!?”
Today I was at school early, so I stayed at my desk to sleep.
Well, I guess I didn’t get enough sleep after everything that happened yesterday.
And now Yui was saying that in my ear.
I heard her voice and slowly got up.
“Morning Yui.”
“Yeah♪Morning. You’re early today !”
Yui seemed to be more energetic than usual.
I’m glad to see her like that.
I was thinking yesterday that Yui looked embarrassed when we said goodbye……and I wondered if she would drag it on today and make things awkward.
However, it seems that such worries were completely unfounded.
“I woke up a little early, so I came here early.”
“I see !”
“Ah, Yui, did you come to school all by yourself?”
When I looked around, I didn’t see Mitsuki, Koudo, or Sakai.
I asked her that and Yui pulled her chair up close to me.
“Yeah ! I felt like doing that today ! ……And, Kei kun……about yesterday.”
After answering cheerfully, Yui started talking in a low voice, a little shy.
“Yeah…….”
“That was my first kiss…….”
Of course I knew that, but how should I reply…..I can’t say I know that already.
Me too…I don’t know if it’s okay to say that.
Even if this body does, I myself is different.
While I was thinking about this, Yui said.
“You don’t have to think so deeply ! I just wanted to tell you that I’m not the kind of person who does things like that easily and that it’s my first time.”
She was so shy yesterday, but now she was smiling and saying that with a very cute smile on her face.
“Of course, I don’t think Yui was an easy woman.”
“Fufufu, I’m glad to hear that. Then, let’s do our best today♪”
“Yeah, likewise.”
I thought that if it got awkward, I would have to calm it down, but instead I ended up making her more attentive.
I’m glad that we can talk as usual.

–I was having lunch in an empty classroom as usual.
(Ping !)
I heard a LIEN notification and looked at my phone.
The sender of the message was my mom.
‘Kei ! I’m going to be home very late from work today, so it’s okay to eat dinner first ! I made it before I left home, so you can eat it or go out for dinner…we’ll eat together tomorrow morning.’
That was about it.
My mom was not at home when I woke up, but she made breakfast and she even made leftovers…..so there’s no option to eat out at a restaurant.
“My mom sounds busy.”
I’m very grateful to my mom for going out of her way to help me when she’s so busy, but at the same time I’m worried about her.
“What a great mother she is……”
While I was thinking that, the classroom door opened.
Was it Yui? I looked up to see Akari there.
And Akari looked somewhat nervous and didn’t move from that spot.
“Akari? What’s wrong?”
“Erm, um…Shindo senpai……is it okay if we have lunch together?”
Akari asked anxiously.
“Of course it’s fun ! Then come over here and let’s eat together.”
“Y-yes……”
Isn’t Akari a little nervous?
It’s not the first time we’ve talked alone…….
With that feeling, Akari sat down next to me.
“Thanks for stopping by, Akari.”
“N-no……I just wanted to come……”
“Even so, I’m still happy.”
“I see……I’m glad.”
Akari says that with a happy face…but there’s still something strange about her.
I’ve never seen Akari look so strange.
“Akari? What’s wrong? You’re acting a little strange today.”
“N-nothing ! ! P-please wait a minute ! !”
Akari said in a panic and started fiddling with her phone a little distance away from me.
What’s going on?
–A little later, Akari came next to me again.
“I’m sorry……I just wanted to check something.”
“Really? I’m not so sure, but if Akari seems okay with it, then it’s fine.”
“Thank you very much…….”
“Yeah.”
Even though I thought she was acting strange, she didn’t seem to want to say anything, so I didn’t dare ask, and Akari spoke up.
“S-Shindo senpai…please don’t say anything…”
“Eh?”
Akari stood up slowly and then stood in front of me.
“Akari?”
Akari didn’t respond to my words and just sat in front of me.
The back of Akari’s head was touching my chest at close distance…….
I can’t see Akari’s expression, but what kind of situation is this?
I had one rice ball left, but I was in no condition to eat it.
Akari was still holding her lunch box and not moving.
So I decided to call her name again.
“Akari?”
“I-I’m sorry……I……got impatient and…..”
“Impatient?”
“Y……yes……you don’t want me to be here……?”
I can’t really tell from the way she speaks, but I wonder if Akari is more flustered than I thought.
I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m not sure if I should ask. And I can clearly see that Akari is now in this situation because of her courage.
Thinking that, I lightly hugged Akari and said.
“That’s not true. You can stay as long as you want…….”
“T-thank you…….”
The time went by quietly, and soon it was time for the lunch break to end.
“Akari? It’s time to go back to class.”
“You;re right…..”
Akari stood up but did not look at me.
“Then, let’s go.”
“……Yes.”
“In the end, you still have leftover bento, is that okay?”
“I’ll eat it when I get home…….”
“I see.”
With that, Akari and I left for the classroom, but Akari didn’t show her face to me until we parted ways on the stairs, but I could tell that her ears were bright red.
I took a few moments before returning to the classroom to think.
“Akari too……”
I didn’t expect Akari to be so aggressive after Yui and Mitsuki……
I didn’t expect this to happen, especially with Akari’s personality.
Since Akari is younger than me, I really want to pamper her, and my feelings for her are different from those two.
The more I spend time with all three of them, the more I like them, and the harder it gets to choose between them.
I want to make all three of them happy, but I can’t be that selfish…….
To be honest, it might be quite dishonest, but I think the ideal would be a harem ending where the four of us end up together, but I don’t know if they would want that…and above all, I don’t know if our families would allow it.
The more I think about it, the more I’m not sure……
Speaking of which, do Yui, Mitsuki and Akari ever talk about that kind of thing?
It seems like they didn’t when it was with Koudo……
But the three of them suddenly became more aggressive, and if they knew, would it already be awkward? It doesn’t seem like that though.
I don’t know what the answer is, even if I think about it.
Maybe we should all talk about it properly……
I was vaguely thinking that if I liked all three of them, maybe one way would be to just tell them that.
I arrived at the classroom and decided to open the door and enter.
