“Chifuyu, aren’t you getting worse than before?”
Madoka said to me during a break time, looking a little taken aback.
Well, I know what you mean.
“Yeah….The more I get along with Toma kun, the more I want to be with him. I’m not sure if my body and mind are listening to me.”
“Look, it’s good that you are in love with him, but you can’t be like that. It will ruin you and it will ruin kohai kun”
“Yeah, I know I shouldn’t embarrass him, but I’m embarrassing him. …… What should I do?”
“Oh, don’t cry. I’ll get in trouble.”
“……Madoka, can I ask you something?”
“What is it? I’ll do anything I can to help you.”
“If I get pregnant, I won’t have to go to school, right?”
“Don’t ask questions I don’t know how to answer.”

“Sagara, tell me the truth”
While I was feeling down because I was late and the teacher was angry with me, a male classmate came to me during recess.
I think his name was Shimada-kun.
I haven’t talked to him much because I don’t like his soccer team’s flirtatious look.
“W-What are you talking about?”
“Don’t play dumb. I’m asking you what kind of relationship you have with Kayamori-senpai.”
“W-why are you asking me that, Shimada-kun?”
“I’ve had my eye on her ever since we first started school. But no matter how many times I asked her out, she just ignored me. I can’t help but think that there must be some kind of ulterior motive for a girl like that to date you.”
Shimada-kun continued, leaning forward with his hands on my desk in frustration.
“Are you taking advantage of senpai’s weakness or something?”
When he said that, I was annoyed.
Taking advantage of weakness?
Chifuyu is not the kind of girl who would be taken advantage of by a guy like that.
“Hey, you’re being disrespectful to her. Apologize.”
“What’s the matter with you? Just because you happened to help senpai, you approached her in a patronizing manner, and in the end, you forced yourself on her in a situation where it was hard for her to say no.”
“There’s no way I’d do that. Chifu…I’m just being friendly with senpai.”
The classroom became noisy when I answered that.
Shimada also turned around to see what was going on and found that Chifuyu had come to the classroom.
“…… Toma-kun, what’s wrong?”
Chifuyu comes this way, looking worried when she sees me arguing with someone.
“Ah, Kayamori-senpai. This guy is talking about you.”
“Who are you?”
Chifuyu gives a cold look to Shimada, who is trying to make up an excuse.
After that, he tilted his head and said, “I’m sorry to disturb you.”
He mumbled softly, with no emotion in his voice.
“Eh, um, so I’m …… um, Shimada, you remember, right?”
“I don’t know. Don’t look at me, you’re making me sick.”
“Ugh.”
That’s disgusting.
With that one word, Shimada backed down.
Chifuyu then heads over to me, seemingly not even paying attention to his obvious shock.
“Toma-kun, you shouldn’t fight, okay?”
“I-I’m sorry. I’ll be careful. What’s wrong?”
“Madoka said she’s okay to have dinner with us today.”
“Why did you come all the way to tell me that? You could have just called.”
“I wanted to see you. …… Toma kun, did you not want to see me?”
“O-of course not that. Yeah, thanks”
“….I love you.”
So that only I can hear it.
Chifuyu’s cheeks turned slightly red after muttering a little.
Eventually, she leaves the classroom, reluctant to leave me behind.
Everyone in the class was watching.
No one asked about us anymore.
◇
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Chifuyu.”
Lunch break.
As expected, I felt bad about making her come to class all the time, so I decided on a meeting place on the line and met up with Chifuyu there.
The place was the rooftop.
Nobody goes out of their way to go up to the rooftop in this hot and humid season, so it’s the perfect place to be alone
“I missed you, Toma, kun…….”
“You’re overreacting. You just met me a few minutes ago.”
“No, I missed you all through the class. I’m so happy right now.”
First, she hugged me tightly.
Chifuyu turned her lips towards me as if asking.
“Hnn…”
Then kiss me.
Chifuyu finally calmed down, so it was time for lunch.
“Here, Bento. Today is karage”
“It looks delicious. Can I eat all of it?”
“Yes. I’m very full because Toma is here.”
She smiled.
When she smiled at me, I was a little taken aback and said, “You look cute blushing, too, Toma-kun”.
We ended up kissing again and didn’t start eating our lunches until much later.
I wondered if it was okay to be so happy.
I wondered if there was such a thing as too much of a good thing and a sudden drop.
The happier I felt, the greater my anxiety grew.
Looking at the cityscape and blue sky through the fence I leaned against, I felt like I was on a very high place.
“Yes, it’s delicious. Fried chicken is really good.”
“I’m glad. Hey, what are we and Madoka going to eat?”
“Hmm, I don’t have much money, so I thought a family restaurant would be fine.”
“I have never been to a family restaurant with Toma kun. I don’t want our first time to be with Madoka.”
“W-we’ll go together, won’t that be fine?”
“No, I want all our firsts to be with just the two of us. No?”
“I-I’m not saying no. Then, what about that coffee shop in the shopping arcade we went to on our last day off?”
“Don’t eat the hamburger steak, okay?”
“Y-yes. I’ll order some pasta.”
“I haven’t made pasta for you yet, so that’s not allowed either.”
“Eh, What should I eat then?”
“Toma kun, you will eat my food when you get home. Is that okay?”
“Y-yeah”
There’s no point in going out to eat then, but if I say something like that, I’ll lose.
It seems like Chifuyu only wants me to eat the food she made.
Well, I sometimes think about eating out, but I can’t be selfish like that to Chifuyu, who works hard to cook for me every day.
“Then, I’m going to have a cup of coffee.”
“Yeah. Let’s go to that place.”
Coffee is okay, apparently.
I think it is necessary for a long term relationship to know what Chifuyu is willing to tolerate and what she is not willing to tolerate.
The lunch break is over in the blink of an eye as we talk.
“It’s time to go. ……”
I was worried that Chifuyu would stop moving again, but this time she managed to get up.
Then we walked out of the rooftop together and saw her off to the classroom,
“Oh, Kohai-kun, thanks for your hard work. Chifuyu, you did your best.”
“Yeah, I’m trying my best not to be disliked.”
“Good job, good job.”
Madoka came out and patted Chifuyu on the head.
Chifuyu, who seemed to have calmed down after that, waved hesitantly and was led to the classroom by Madoka-san.
After all, I can’t ignore Madoka-san’s presence in my relationship with Chifuyu.
With that conviction, I also returned to the classroom.
