“S-sorry. I’m not in a hurry, so Yuuka can use it first.”

I hurriedly apologized and gave Yuuka priority over the English-Japanese dictionary.

“No, I’m not in a hurry either. So Sota kun, please use it first.”

But Yuuka also tried to give me the priority.

“I think the owner should use it first in such a case, don’t you think?”

“No, I can use it later.”

“No, no, no, Yuuka should use it first.”

“No, no, no. Sota kun should use it first.”

“No, no, no. Yuuka first.

”No, Sota kun first.”

Then, Yuuka and I showed a strange spirit of giving priority to each other.

“…………”

“…………”

As we were saying that to each other, we looked at each other again silently.

Is it really just my imagination that Yuuka’s eyes look moist as if she’s expecting something?

And you know what?

I mean, isn’t it such a great atmosphere???

Driven by the strange atmosphere, all the things I’ve been keeping deep inside my heart are about to overflow out in the form of words.

“Y-Yuuka. I…..”

“Y-yeah. 

What is it, Sota kun?”

Yuuka’s expression becomes serious.

“Yuuka, I—“

The very same moment when I was about to tell Yuuka that I was in love with her, I was engulfed in a very embarrassing atmosphere.

Suddenly, I sensed the presence of small gazes outside of us.

I fearfully turned my gaze toward the door of Yuuka’s room.

Then–,

“Stare…….”

I saw Mizuki chan staring at us through the slightly open doorway.

“Mizuki chan !?”

The moment I realized that Mizuki chan was watching me, I hurriedly withdrew my right hand, which was touching Yuuka’s hand.

It was a divine speed of hand movement, as if I could win a top prize in a national competitive karuta tournament.

“Eh, Mizuki !? How long have you been there !?”

Yuuka, who noticed Mizuki chan’s presence slightly after me, also quickly retracted her right hand.

Her hand movements are as sharp as mine as well.

Yuuka, you’re good.

The next time we meet will be at the finals of the national tournament.

I’ll be waiting for you.

–I was in such a panic that I was thinking something that didn’t make any sense.

When you are in a panic, your mind goes blank and you can’t think about anything, or you can’t think about what you should be thinking about, but you think about things that don’t matter.

Even though I had nothing to be guilty of, my heart was beating fast.

I took a deep breath, holding my chest lightly with my hand, trying to calm my racing heart.

Without worrying about me and Yuuka,

“I’m coming in.”

Mizuki chan opened the door and came in.

“H-hey, Mizuki chan. I didn’t know you were home.”

I was still hiding the fact that I was still feeling panic inside, but I pretended to be calm as if nothing had happened and started a conversation with her.

“Yes ! I was so surprised to find Sota Onii chan’s shoes when I came home.”

“D-didn’t you go to your friend’s house?”

“I did. I just came back from my friend’s house.”

“I see~”

“I kind of came home early today, but I’m glad Sota Onii chan was here !”

“Hmm, I see. I came all the way to Yuuka’s house, so it was nice to see Mizuki chan too.”

……Was it a little deliberate?

“Really ! I’m so glad. By the way, what were you two doing together? You were quietly staring at each other.”

B-ba-dump !?

She’s suddenly hit the core of the matter !?

What should I answer?

As I was turning my head fully around,

“We were studying hard together, right? Sota kun?”

Yuuka came into the conversation between me and Mizuki chan, making her voice a little hoarse.
