“Whawha …… Noeru ……”
Hitomi, who was interrupted by Yukikawa, said, staring at Yukikawa suspiciously.
At first glance, it looked as if Yukikawa was defending Haruhara, but the air was becoming even worse because Yukikawa interrupted Hitomi’s story, which was her own member.
It would be …… bad if things got bachi-bachi inside, like at last year’s cultural festival.
“Hey Kana,…… I wonder if Kana can help Haruki with the cooking like she did yesterday.”
“Huh? Why?!”
“Just let me …… be alone with Haruhara-san for a bit.”
Yukikawa talks with Haruhara alone…?
I have a really bad feeling about this.
But thinking about it, maybe this conversation should originally be between Yukikawa and Haruhara.
It’s not a good idea to have this discussion with Hitomi, who gets emotional easily, and I feel sorry for Haruhara more than anything.
On the other hand, Yukikawa, although natural and stupid, is less prickly than Hitomi.
It would certainly be better to leave it to Yukikawa’s calmness, but it depends on …… Hitomi’s reaction.
“… Haa, all right Noeru. I’m going to help the transfer student.”
Surprisingly, Hitomi easily suppressed her anger and started walking toward the kitchen.
I thought she would go mad just by looking at people, but I was surprised.
“Is it okay, Hitomi?”
“Noeru doesn’t make that kind of face when she’s fooling around.”
“T-that kind of face?”
“Noeru makes a serious face when she’s thinking calmly. I’m also scared of what she will say”
I’m not sure, but is Yukikawa calm …… now?
When Hitomi and I were about to return to the kitchen, the two of them at the chabudai began to eat the vegetables in the salad bowls in small portions.
“Putting aside the cultural festival talk. Haruhara-san, I have a few things I want to talk to you about.”
“Eh?”
Yukikawa was the first to open her mouth.
“I’m going to make this clear,……, I don’t like you, Haruhara-san”.
Just when I thought I was going to calmly carry on the conversation now that I was away from everyone else, words that were incredibly sharp came out.
Oh, come on. No matter how much you dislike Haruhara, it’s too …… straight.
“I-I see! I knew it …… would be so.
I keep talking to girls I want to be friends with, and frankly it’s annoying, isn’t it? Yukikawa san doesn’t like to talk much, so…she doesn’t like me.”
Maybe it’s just Haruhara’s kindness that she acts cheerfully even when someone says cold things to her…but I can’t watch her do this!
“Hey, Yukikawa! That’s as expected!”
“Listen to me to the end, Haruki.”
Yukikawa looked at me with a sideways glare and won me over.
“I certainly don’t like you,……, but last year I really wanted to do the school festival with you. Do you know why?”
“Even though you don’t like me? Why?”
“Because …… you knew about my hair.”
Yukikawa said, a little embarrassed, as she mashed the mini-tomatoes in her plate with a fork.
“Ever since elementary school, you were as bright as the sun and popular. From your point of view, I thought I was just classmate B, and I was also jealous of you because you were so amiable and popular. but……”
Yukikawa lifts her gaze from the mini-tomato and looks in a straight line at Haruhara sitting in front of her.
“You knew that this hair of mine was my natural hair, and you protested Haruhara-san. Even though I was supposed to be in a position where it would be difficult to say that. That’s why I honestly… I was happy.”
“Yukikawa, san. ……”
So …… you were that grateful to Haruhara, Yukikawa.
It seems that Haruhara’s sincere kindness was felt by Yukikawa.
After all, I don’t think Yukikawa hatesHaruhara either.
“Um, Yukikawa-san, do you still hate me?”
“Yes,……, I hate you.”
Don’t ruin the mood.
I thought it was a good story, but I guess it’s typical of Yukikawa to drop it this way.
“I’ve hated you for a long time, but I’ll be participating in the school festival again this year. Of course, Kana and gal group will also be there.”
“Noeru! Don’t decide on your own!”
This time, Hitomi couldn’t keep quiet and came out of the kitchen.
“Why are you deciding on your own!? Noeru may be fine with it, but we’re going to be told about our hair color again!”
“I just want everyone to participate in the festival …… and I don’t want to repeat what happened last year.”
“Then what! Noeru wants us to have black hair!?”
“Listen to me for a moment.”
“……”
Even though Hitomi is getting heated, Yukikawa uses a much calmer tone to silence her and continues talking.
“I think of a group called a class as something like a salad bowl. Even though the gal group and the honor student group have different opinions and cultures, they live their lives as one class.”
“I see. …… salad bowl, huh?”
Certainly, this current class may well fit that analogy.
“In normal high school life, we respect each other’s culture and live a normal life, even if there are some skirmishes. However, I think it’s different that we suddenly become aggressive only during the school festival.”
“….Yes, that’s right, I think so too!”
Haruhara also nodded strongly.
“Do you understand that? Kana?”
“I-I see… I understand Noeru’s point to some extent, but… does that mean Noeru is going to convince Yunohara and the others who have been complaining about our culture (hair color)? I won’t know unless you tell me.”
“I see. …… So what I’m trying to say is…”
Yukikawa suddenly stood up, brought the plate of salad to the sink, and turned to us.
“I’ll also be on the executive committee of the school festival. There’s nothing to complain about, right?”
““Haaaaah!””
