“Then why don’t you do something more like a best friend?”
“All right, I’ll buy you a set at McDonald’s.”
“Oh, really?”
Buying a set of McDonald’s with a high school student’s allowance is a pretty big deal !
“Seriously. It’s a farewell party for Sota and Kuzugaya san. Let’s make it a big party.”
“Don’t say it like that. I’m really gonna cry.”
“If you wanna cry, cry as much as you want on my chest. I’ll listen to you as long as you want.”
“To be honest, it feels like a lie when you say that much…you’re grinning from ear to ear, you bastard ! As an apology, add a dessert to the set as an extra.”
“You’re a cheap guy, Sota, letting me off with just extra dessert.”
“I’m doing this in consideration of your desperate financial situation.”
“As expected of a best friend, you know what you’re talking about.”
While having a silly talk with my best friend, who took care of me so much, I went to the classroom of my class, the first class of the second year.
I prepared myself a little before stepping into the classroom.
Then—
“Ah, Sota kun. Good morning♪”
As if she had been waiting for me to come into the classroom, Himemiya Yuuka greeted me.
A princess-like smile of the finest quality accompanied it as if it were a matter of course.
“Wow♪”
Seeing this, Koga Nanaka, who was always with Yuuka and was still talking with her just before, gave a cheerful surprised voice like an American.
“Yuuka, good morning.”
I greeted Yuuka with the greeting I had practiced about 300 times last night and this morning.
I’m so nervous……
After all, calling Himemiya san by her name Yuuka at school will make everyone look at me and I will be very nervous.
After all, if I look around now.
All of my classmates looked at me and Yuuka with surprised expressions when we started a friendly conversation as soon as I entered the classroom.
Kensuke, who was chatting next to me a moment ago,
“………..?????”
His eyes, mouth and even nostrils were wide open and he was staring at me as if he were a tin doll that had run out of oil.
“Thank you for yesterday, Sota kun. Mizuki also sent her regards.”
“As expected of Mizuki chan, she is as polite as ever.”
“Yes, but it was a hard day, you know?”
“What do you mean?”
“Before going to school in the morning, she told me to thank Sota kun again and again.”
“Haha, Mizuki chan seems to have taken a liking to me.”
“It seems so. But I feel like Sota kun took Mizuki away from me, and I’m a little frustrated.:
In contrast to me, Yuuka continues to talk as if nothing is wrong at all.
But I guess so.
Thanks to Mizuki chan’s liking for me, I’m only a little bit closer to Yuuka than the other boys.
Without Mizuki chan, I would still be like the rest to Yuuka.
I’m just conscious of Yuuka on my own.
Yeah, I knew I was right not to call her yesterday.
Good job to me yesterday, who gave up on it at the last minute !
Well, let’s see.
Then, I’ll try to act like the “normal me” so that she won’t think I misunderstood.
If there is a future, it will depend on this time—although such a future is unlikely.
As we get along with each other through Mizuki chan, the idol at my school might start to like me–it’s just too much of a fantasy.
“And, here you go. Sota kun’s clothes. I’ll return them to you.”
Yuuka handed me a small paper bag.
I was so excited when our fingertips touched and I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
But I am also a man, so I hope she will forgive me for reacting like this.
“Thank you. I haven’t finished washing the clothes I borrowed, so I’ll return them tomorrow.”
“No need to rush.”
“I told you, it’s our family tradition to return borrowed things as soon as possible.”
“Didn’t you say that’s a lie?”
Yuuka puts her right hand to her mouth and giggles.
As expected from a school idol, even a casual gesture like this is quite picturesque.
—As I was staring at Yuuka’s S-rank smile with a happy feeling,
“Hey, hey, Sota kun? Come here a sec.”
Kensuke, who gripped both my shoulders from behind, began to pull me forcefully with a frightening voice that seemed to echo from the depths of hell, while digging his fingers into me with as much force as he could muster.
