When I went to school the next day, the air between the four of them was still awkward.
When I was looking at them thinking that, Haruka noticed me.
“Ah, Akuru~”
Haruka called out loudly while smiling at me.
Yesterday, she was talking in a voice so loud that others couldn’t hear her, so it wasn’t a problem.
But if everyone heard it, it would be like this.
People from all over the class looked at me with surprised faces.
Sara tilted her head curiously, Ai looked at me with a jealous look, and Kamiya, well, naturally, had an amazing look on his face.
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
“Um, are you on the rooftop for lunchtime today too?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Okay, well, I’m going with you, so let’s go together!”
“Y-yeah, let’s go then”
“Yeah!”
At that time…
“Haruka~”
Ai came.
“Ah, Ai chan, what’s wrong?”
“Hey, can you give me some time for lunch today?”
“Um, what should I do, Akuru?”
Eh? me? See, Ai’s staring at me, and this is definitely about yesterday.
“I’m fine.”
“I see, then, It’s okay Ai chan”
“Okay, thanks.”
“Ah, Sano-kun, I want to talk to her when no one’s around, so will you give me the rooftop today?
Oh, that’s such a scary smile. It’s going to be a big deal if I refuse her. I can’t resist Ai.
“Yeah, that’s all right.”
“Thank you.”
～Lunch break~
Ai, Sara and Haruka were on the rooftop.
Ai opened her mouth.
“Hey, Haruka? Has anything happened recently? Sano and you suddenly got on well, you and Suguru suddenly didn’t get on well, there’s a lot of strange things going on, isn’t there?”
“Yes, I want to know too, the atmosphere is so bad that I honestly don’t feel at home.”
“Hmm~”
“Haruka? We’ll always be on your side. It’s sad that you can’t rely on us.”
“I want you to rely on me too, I don’t know if I can help you, but I’ll do everything I can!”
“Right…”
Haruka felt uncomfortable worrying about the two of them and decided that she didn’t need to venture to tell them that it was over, but when they told her that, she thought her decision had been wrong and decided to tell them about the incident the other day (other than the Suguru thing).
“I see. ……”
“Haruka-chan”
Ai’s face turned blue in surprise, and Sara embraced Haruka, crying.
“So that’s how you and Sano-kun became such good friends.”
“Yeah! That’s why I decided to stay with Akuru”
With a big smile on her face, Haruka said so.
“Sano-kun is a good person after all, isn’t he?”
Sara asked.
“Don’t worry about rumours! There’s no way that Akuru is a bad person!!”
“Well, at least I think he’s a good person.”
“Hee~, I didn’t think you’d say that, Ai-chan.”
“Actually, I didn’t tell you two. ……”
Ai told them that she had been saved by Akuru
“So all three of us, despite being different scales, were saved by Akuru?”
“Apparently so.”
“….Hey, you two, I’m going to ask you clearly at this point, what do you think of Sano kun? I can tell that both Ai and Haruka have been looking at Sano kun differently lately.”
“To be honest, it’s hard for me to explain how I feel about him, but as I said before, I want to be with Akuru”.
“I-I don’t know. ……”
Ai lied, she already understood that she had special feelings for Akuru.
But it was difficult for Ai’s character to be honest about it.
But this time, it wasn’t like Ai, and it came out in her expression.
“Hmmm~”
Seeing this, Sara realised that Ai was definitely in love with Akuru.
Then Sara thought, there was no way the two of them would ever fall in love with someone other than Suguru-kun.
But at the same time, she also wondered if it was possible for Sano to do so.
When Sara was thinking about this, Ai said.
“Haruka, but why did you and Suguru get on so badly? There was no mention of Suguru in what you just said?”
“Yeah… actually, I don’t want to talk about it with you two too much, but do you still want to hear about it?”
“”I do!””
“Then I’ll tell you. ……”
She told them that Suguru was spreading rumours about them to boys only, and that he had abandoned
her
“……”
“……”
When she told that story, Ai and Sara fell silent.
Ai was seriously thinking about something, while Sara’s face turned blue.
After a long period of silence.
“Suguru did that…”
“That… is it true…?”
“Yes. ……”
“We believed Suguru unconditionally until now, but maybe he has been hiding his true nature for a long time. ……”
“That’s ……”
“W-Well, speculation, speculation.”
Ai doesn’t seem that damaged, but for Sara, it was a huge damage.
Since he was her hero and her first love since she was little, she was shocked to hear that his true nature might be different.
“Sara? Are you okay?”
“Yeah. ……”
“A-anyway, let’s treat Suguru with a bit of caution.”
“T-that’s right. ……”
After the conversation, they returned to the classroom.
“Oh, there you are, all three of you were going to have lunch together, where have you been?”
Suguru asked.
Sara was having second thoughts and couldn’t face him.
But Ai, who was good at hiding her expression, and Haruka, not for the first time, answered simply.
“Well, you know, there are some things that are hard to talk about when it’s not just the girls.”
“Oh yeah, just having a bit of a girls’ night out.”
Ai did so in her usual manner, while Haruka said in a troublesome manner.
“Hmm~, what’s that all about, well, school finishes in the morning on the day the test finishes, so the four of us should go out and do karaoke.”
“Well~, I’ll have to ask my mom, so I guess I can’t give you an answer yet?”
“Hmm? You didn’t usually ask your parents for permission, did you?”
“Yes, but there’s been a bit of a change”
“Hnnnn~ I see. And you two?”
“It’s about how I’m feeling today.”
“I-if you two go…I’ll go.”
Suguru furrowed his brow a little and then said.
“Well, then I’ll be looking forward to it.”
After saying that, he took his seat.
