(Ding dong ding dong)
“Haa, it’s finally over…”
“Right. English class is tough after all.”
“Seriously, I can’t understand a thing and it makes me sleepy.”
I was talking with Kanata after the third period class.
“But if you can speak English, it might be beneficial in the future.”
“I don’t have any intention to get a job that requires English.”
“Me too. I just don’t feel like studying English.”
Kanata and I were reacting to Mitsuki, who was sitting nearby, and said.
“Hm? I wonder what’s going on?”
“What’s wrong, Kanata?”
“Look. It’s Yui san.”
I looked at where Kanata pointed his finger.
There, Yui was sticking close to Shindo, lending her shoulder to him.
Yui had said before that she and Shindo were just friends, but even so, they were too close to each other.
I was irritated and muttered to myself.
“They’re too attached, aren’t they……”
Then Mitsuki said after that.
“B-but, he seems to be feeling unwell, so I guess she’s just helping him…..”
“Now that you said it, Shindo looks really distressed. Isn’t that why Yui san is trying to take him to the infirmary?”
It’s true that Shindo has a painful look on his face,……but that’s not the point.
Even if they are just friends, they are of the opposite sex ! Even so, they’re too attached to each other.
There’s no point in Yui doing that in the first place, and why don’t she just leave it to the other boys…..even if he’s not feeling well, she’s overreacting, he can walk on his own……
When I was thinking that, Yui took Shindo and walked out of the classroom.
“Why would Yui do something like that? Isn’t it better to just ask another guy?”
“Well, but there aren’t any boys who get along with Shindo…….”
“Y-Yui chan is sitting next to him and I think she was worried about him……Yui chan is kind after all…..”
“Well, that’s true. Even if you say they were too close together, it seemed like an emergency situation, so I don’t think it’s something to worry about.”
How could it not be something to be worried about……
Because she was lending her shoulder to him, and their faces were extremely close…and Yui looked so worried…
No. But Yui said back then that they were just friends.
I was feeling confused, so I thought of asking Yui when she got back, but she came back just before the start of the fourth period and I didn’t have time for that.
◇
–The chime rang, the fourth period class was over, and it was time for lunch break.
At that moment, I immediately went to Yui.
“Yui.”
“Hm? What’s wrong, Sora?
“Can I talk to you for a minute?”
“Erm……does it have to be now?”
When I said that, Yui tilted her head and asked.
“I’m not saying that, but if possible, now would be a good time…”
“I’m sorry. I have somewhere to go during my lunch break.”
Yui said apologetically.
“Where is that?”
“No, it’s not something Sora should be concern about. I’ll make time for another time, so then !”
“Okay, well, I just need to know this one thing !”
“What is it?”
“Earlier, about Shindo…..”
“Ah, if it was Kei kun, I couldn’t leave him alone if he looked sick during class, so I took him to the infirmary. There’s no way I’ll overlook him.”
“O-of course. Yui is so kind after all.”
“Thanks ! Can I go now?”
I thought I was overthinking it, since Yui was smiling at me and saying so as usual and there was nothing unusual about her.
I’m wondering what I should be worried about.
“I see.”
“Yeah. Thank you, see you.”
“Okay.”
Saying that, Yui left the classroom.
When I returned to my seat, only Kanata was there.
“Hm? Where’s Mitsuki?”
“If it was Mitsuki, she said something about Yui san and went after her.”
“What do you mean by something?”
“Beats me. But it’s probably nothing serious. She wasn’t in a hurry or anything. Besides, Sora ! It’s tonight…”
Then I promised to play games with Kanata at night, and we had a nice lunch, so the worries were fading away.

★Tohsaka Yui (side)
–I was going home with Sora for the first time in a long time.
We had not been going home alone recently because of Kei kun, but he said he had something he wanted to talk about at lunchtime, and I said I would make time for him next time, so we are going home together.
Kei kun also went home first, so I thought it would be better to end the conversation now rather than delaying it.
“So what is it?”
“Erm……there’s no need for Yui to do something like that, is there?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m talking about…the thing with Shindo.”
Did you mean about sending Kei kun to the infirmary?
“The fact that I walked him to the infirmary?”
“That’s right. Even if it’s not Yui, you can ask another guy, right? He’s heavy after all.”
It would have been heavy.
I don’t know, it wasn’t that heavy.
“He wasn’t particularly heavy. It’s not like Kei kun didn’t have any strength in his legs. Besides, who would the other guy be?”
Kei kun doesn’t have any friends.
I don’t mean this in a bad way, but that’s why he doesn’t have anyone he can ask for help.
I’d rather do it myself than leave it to others.
“Isn’t it fine with anyone? Someone who can help him right?”
“So if I asked Sora, would you help him?”
“T-that’s…..”
I know that Sora doesn’t think well of Kei kun, so naturally he looked disgusted.
“See? Even though Kei kun isn’t feeling well, if I have time to ask someone, they should send him there, right? There will probably be people who will react like Sora.”
Sora made a bummed face as I said that.
“Well, yeah……but aren’t you too attached to him? You know you’re the opposite sex, right?”
“He’s not feeling well, so that’s the least I can do, right? I don’t mind it either, and that’s not something for Sora to worry about, okay?”
“Don’t say that….well, whatever. But why did Yui become so close to him?”
Sora said this with obvious disapproval.
“I don’t have a reason. When you make friends, it just comes naturally, doesn’t it?”
“But you’re so close, aren’t you? Evne though you’re a boy and a girl”
“Isn’t it the same with Sora? You’re close to me and Akari chan, aren’t you?”
“Yui is my childhood friend, and Akari is my step-sister.”
“What about Mitsuki?”
“Mitsuki is……”
After I fell in love with Kei kun, the three of us stopped flirting with Sora, but before that, there must have been times when we were close to each other, like lightly patting each other on the back.
“See? Sora and Mitsuki are friends, right?”
“That’s……right……but be careful, okay? He’s a guy too, right?”
“Eh? I know that Kei kun is a guy, of course.”
“That’s not what I…I mean, he’s a guy, so he might be thinking dirty things about Yui ! He always looks listless, so I don’t know what he’s thinking. ”
She says such things without hesitation…….
Most of the time, even if Kei kun is thinking dirty things, I’m just happy, and it has nothing to do with Sora…in fact, from my point of view, I’d be happier if……not that !
I don’t know about his listless face, I wonder what he’s talking about?
It’s not that I don’t know what he’s thinking, it’s just that in Sora’s case, he’s not trying to understand, right?
Kei kun never said anything about Sora, but Sora just one-sidedly seeing Kei kun as an enemy…….
I thought so and was dumbfounded at Sora.
I want to tell him that I’m dating Kei kun, but it would definitely complicate things……
I want to avoid that kind of thing right now, and above all, I can’t just say anything.
Because there is also the matter of Kei kun, Mitsuki and Akari chan.
I want the three of them to focus only on their relationship.
If I say something without permission, they will not be able to genuinely move forward with the relationship.
I don’t know whether it’s better to tell Sora and Kanata now or later…..but that’s what I think now.
Kei kun said he doesn’t mind if someone finds out, but I have no intention of revealing that I’m dating Kei kun without consulting him.
“You’re thinking too much, aren’t you?”
“I’m not. But guys are……”
“So Sora, you’re saying that you think about thiat all the time when you talk to girls?”
“Of course not !”
“Right? So I guess this conversation is over.”
“Y-yeah.”
I don’t know if we will be able to keep our relationship as just childhood friends and friends when I reveal everything to him.
But I’ve already decided that Kei kun will be my top priority…I have no intention of changing it even if the distance between me and Sora increases as a result.
Even though we are childhood friends, it is natural for me to prioritize my lover.
Because I have no intention of leaving Kei kun ever.
