★Tohsaka Yui (side)
The five of us are visiting the Koudo family for a test study session.
“Haa, I’m taking a break.”
“Me too.”
“We’ve only been studying for half an hour, you two ! If you don’t work a little harder, you’ll get a red mark again, okay?”
“Hmm, I know, but I just barely got into this school, and it’s hard to keep up.”
“That’s true. I’m the same way.”
I’d like to say [Let’s work harder !] but that’s why I got into an argument with Sora before ……
“Mou, let’s just do it on our own ! Mitsuki, Akari chan !”
“Well, those two are always like this…….”
“Oh, come on, you guys can do a little better than that.”
“Hey, let’s take a little break, Kanata ! Let’s play a little game.”
“Oh, great !”
“If you’re gonna play, do it in a different room, okay?”
“I know.”
Then they went out of the room.
“Haa, it’s the same as usual, why don’t they try harder since they’re getting red marks…..”
“Yui san, there’s nothing more we can say about that, I’ve already given up.”
“Ahaha,……I guess you two were paying attention, but they didn’t listen at all.”
“Shall we continue?”
[ [Yeah.] ]
–An hour later.
“Okay ! Let’s study !”
Saying that, the two came back.
“Hey, Yui? What about this?”
“You could do this right here…….”
I taught Sora as clearly as I could.
“Thanks, Yui.”
“You’re welcome.”
I was teaching Sora, while Kanata kun seemed to be learning from Mitsuki.
To be honest, I don’t know much about Kanata kun, and although we do talk sometimes, it’s just casual chats.
He’s with us because he’s Mitsuki’s childhood friend and Sora’s best friend, but I wonder what he thinks about Mitsuki……
Well, I can’t ask him about that kind of thing.
While I was thinking about this, Kanata kun suddenly asked me a question.
“Right ! Come to think of it, Yui san, you’ve been talking a lot with that what’s-his-name, um, right, Shindo, in the classroom lately, haven’t you?”
“I’ve been wondering about that, too.”
“Yes, we’ve become friends recently.”
“Well, Yui has a lot of friends, and since they’re sitting next to each other, it’s possible that they’ll become friends.”
“That’s right.”
“But why is it that Shindo is always alone?”
“Maybe he doesn’t try to make friends, or maybe he doesn’t like to talk to other people. Or maybe he thinks it’s cool to be alone.”
“That’s absurd, puhahaha.”
It’s as casual as usual.
I guess Sora and the others were just trying to make fun of it as a joke and didn’t think it was a bad thing….I think I would have just brushed it off like I normally would have done.
But this time I’m a little ticked off,…..for some reason I feel like Kei kun is being made fun of and it’s making me uncomfortable.
“Okay, sure, let’s both move our hands, not our mouths.”
I was about to tell them to stop, but Mitsuki said so first.
[ [Okay.] ]
I’m sure that I like Sora.
But is it normal to get tired of being with someone you like?
Sure, there are times when I’m happy and joyful, but there are also times when I’m sad.
But if you ask me how I feel when I’m with him, I’d have to say that it’s tiring.
Is it normal for the bad parts to stand out?
I’m not sure anymore……
(Phew.)
I took a light deep breath and decided to just think about my studies for now.
◇
–I finished my study session and went home to laze around in bed.
“Haa, I really like Sora…..”
Lately, I’m getting less jealous than before when Akari chan and Mitsuki are flirting with Sora.
Maybe it’s because I’ve become more comfortable with myself than before, but I find Kanata kun and Sora a little childish.
When I think about it, Kei kun is very relaxed and mature.
I feel at ease when I’m with him, and I never feel bad.
“I’m feeling a little restless, so I think I’ll call Kei kun.”
I thought and called him.
“Hey, Kei kun !”
[What’s wrong?]
“I just wanted to talk to you.”
[What’s wrong, you suddenly said something like a girlfriend would say?]
“……”
I was extremely embarrassed to hear that.
Certainly, now that I think about it, calling someone because you want to talk to them is a pretty good sign of affection.
I was unconsciously making the call, but…..
No, I must like Sora, now that I think about it, I do think that Sora is the one I would say I like.
Sure, I trust Kei kun and I feel safe when I talk to him, but I should like him as a friend.
Yes, this is the same feeling that I have for Mitsuki and Akari chan….right?
It’s just that with Mitsuki and Akari chan, I have a few thoughts when Sora is involved, but with Kei kun, I don’t have those thoughts, so it’s easier to talk to him because of that……
[Hey, what’s wrong? Yui san.”
I was lost in thought and seemed to be in a daze.
“Oh, sorry, I was just thinking !”
[Are you okay?]
“Yeah, I’m fine !”
[Is that so? I hope so.]
“More importantly, are you okay with your studies? You did it today, right?”
[A little bit? Of course, compared to Yui san and Miyamoto san, it’s not even close.]
“Well, if that’s the case, I’ll…….”
I’ll teach you right away if you were with me earlier ! That’s what I would have said.
But because of what happened earlier, I hesitated.
That’s what I thought about Kei kun….but I shook my head and thought about it again.
It must be the same feelings as Mitsuki and Akari chan.
So it’s okay ! There’s nothing weird about teaching your friends !
[Hmm? What are you about to say?]
“Shall I teach you?”
[No, Yui san, don’t you have a study group on your side? After school or something.]
“We do it when we have to, but basically we do it on our own except when we’re on break, so it’s fine.”
[But isn’t it bad to have two men and two women? I told you before that it would cause a misunderstanding.]
“I’m sure it’s fine ! I’ll tell them we’re friends and nothing more !”
I found myself desperately trying to get Kei kun to join me.
[I-if you say so.]
“Y-yeah.”
So we decided to study after school.
