120 – The Third Girl
I was sitting on a mat under a parasol. Feel the cool ocean breeze while sipping her drink called Blue Hawaii.
“…… Are you not playing together?”
Behind his back was Elena, fully dressed in a maid uniform even in the middle of summer.
“This is my vacation.”
I got some fresh air while watching the girls splashing in the sea or playing beach volleyball. Unfortunately, Yuuki was stuck in her room, lying down due to motion sickness.
I will enjoy it to the fullest on your behalf. Even though I left that kind of comfort, Yuuki screamed and chased me away.
“You’re an old man.”
“……… ….”
I was a little offended by Elena’s criticism, but she had nothing to say.
In front of my eyes, beautiful girls in swimsuits are playing and making fun, but it would be difficult to express that I am enjoying just staying in my seat and sipping my drink.
“So Elena, she doesn’t enjoy swimming in the sea?”
“I am a maid.”
“Is that so?”
In other words, for her, this time is not a vacation but work.
However, I have never seen her spend time as an individual, Elena, rather than as her head maid.
She was always the Shiraishi family’s chief maid, bodyguard, and nanny 24 hours a day.
“Elena, it would be nice if you had time to take a breather and relax sometimes.
“……… ….”
She had no answer to those words.
Well, it doesn’t matter.
I turned my gaze and saw them playing beach volleyball.
Haruna and Takase senior. Shiraishi and Yuuko.
It is a perfect 2:2 match.
Haruna in a yellow bikini. Senior Takase wearing a black bikini and a colorful pareo.
Red monokini with frills is Shiraishi. Yuuko was wearing a white one-piece swimsuit.
“You seem to be interested in swimsuits.”
“…… “I just saw it.”
“I understand everything. “No matter how young I pretend to be, I am still in my prime.”
This time I will ignore it.
To be honest, I was admiring them.
As expected, beautiful girls are running around in pretty swimsuits.
It is rather strange for a man not to see such a scene.
“…… Tskcha.”
However, sitting forever was boring, so I got up.
“Where are you going?”
“A walk. “I’ll take a quick spin and then come back.”
As I trudged along the sandy beach without a destination, I looked around.
After walking for a while, I found a small cave.
I got curious and stuck my head inside, but when I found numerous bats and bugs on the ceiling, I got scared and ran out.
At that time, I faced her in front of her.
“…… Yuuko?”
Yuko was waiting for me in front of the cave entrance.
You must have been waiting, right?
There is no chance of meeting here by chance.
She followed me.
Twisting her wet hair behind her, she glanced at me.
“…… “I have something to tell you.”
“Oh, me too.”
I had to have a conversation with Yuuko at least once.
The time has rarely come for the two of us to talk.
A good moment finally arrived.
“What about other people?”
“I’m taking a break. “I left to go to the bathroom.”
Yuuko put her hand on her waist and looked at me with disapproving eyes.
Slim body and cold eyes. She felt like it didn’t fit her younger sister’s character, but she didn’t say anything.
Standing in front of Yuuki, she was performing that role diligently.
“My brother is lying down and begging. “I don’t have to go and check on his condition?”
She asked in a light mood whether she lacked awareness as her younger sister character who was attached to Yuuki, but Yuuko glared and glared at her, and she ignored it.
“What is your purpose?”
Yuko asked.
I felt confused for a moment.
That’s what I wanted to ask.
“…… Me?”
“Who else is here besides you?”
That’s true, though.
“……… “Why are you asking me that now?”
I still don’t know what kind of person this woman is. I couldn’t figure out if she could be my ally or my enemy.
There was no need to show such hostility, but there was also no reason to give a clear answer to the question.
“What?”
Her voice rose.
“You already knew. “The reason they all escaped their fate.”
Yuko spoke as if she knew about me, using expressions such as ‘I managed to do it’ and ‘I saved it’.
What I realized while watching her these days was that Yuuko was also waging her search war against me.
Vigilance and observation.
Could it be that she is an omnipotent being who came down from this world?
I also thought that it might be a divine being that came down directly to achieve the purpose of erasure against me.
Yuko hasn’t done anything until now.
All she did was join our members and participate in the events taking place.
“Is that your purpose? Saving them?”
Didn’t you already know?
“…… “Then what were you thinking?”
Seeing Yuuko repeating her question again and showing an absurd expression, she raised one foot and hit the ground.
“Then why did Haruna become your girlfriend!”
“……… “How did it happen?”
“Don’t even think about cheating! “Your goal is to make them all yours!”
Her outstretched finger points at me.
“All of them, including Haruna, Eri Takase, and Akira Shiraishi!”
“…… “Do I look like I have that level of ability?”
There is some strange misunderstanding.
On the contrary, when I asked again, Yuuko, who was glaring at me with her raised eyes, snorted and turned her head.
“Hmph!”
I cross my arms and continue to tap the floor with the soles of my sandals.
“Haruna is a pure and good child. She deserves to fall under your spell. So she becomes your girlfriend or something.”
“……… ….”
If you say that, I have nothing to say.
I don’t remember ever reaching out to her, but as it happens, she and I have that kind of relationship.
If a third party were to see it, such a misunderstanding could have occurred.
Senpai, when she first saw me with Haruna, she had that same mistake.
“According to the original plan, Haruna should have ended up with Yuuki. “But you came in the middle and intercepted it.”
“……… ….”
Okay.
The first time you praised me at the hospital, it was sarcastic.
From noble mtl dot com
I didn’t save it, I intercepted it. There is a man who reaches out to them.
Yuko sees me as that kind of man.
“…… I think I’m misunderstanding something. “Please listen to me first.”
“I don’t want to hear it. “The story of the perpetrator, etc.”
I suddenly became a perpetrator.
“After you saved Haruna, you gaslighted her because she felt her grace.”
“Gas… ….”
That was a word I never expected to hear here.
Unknowingly, I let out a laugh and raised the corners of her mouth, and Yuuko’s raised eyes went up.
“What’s funny? “Are you deliberately trying to be funny because it hurts your feelings?”
“……… “Yuuko.”
If there is one thing I am sure of, it is that she is not omniscient and omnipotent.
He was not the deus ex machina character I expected.
On the one hand, it was a relief, but on the other hand, I felt like my head was getting complicated.
“Who are you?”
So I asked. About her identity.
“I told you. I am Yuuki Yuuko. Yuuki Yuu’s younger sister.”
“…… “There has never been a character like that in this world.”
As she took a step closer and spoke in a confident voice, her expression changed.
“What, what…?” ! “What are you going to do if you find out my identity?!”
“Nothing. “I’m just curious.”
She slowly took a step back, looking embarrassed.
“What are you planning to do with me?” In this place where no one is….”
Well, there is no one around here.
You followed me.
“I’m not doing anything. “Calm down.”
“Oh, stop right there! “Don’t come any closer!”
She stretched out her hand towards me and shouted.
She stopped obediently because she had no intention of scaring her.
I didn’t come after her, so why do I have to do this?
Although I felt absurd, I raised my arms.
In the sense of being harmless.
“…… Okay, Yuuko. “I won’t ask any more questions.”
“……… ….”
There is nothing good about setting up a confrontation with her now.
In the first place, I didn’t want to be in conflict with anyone unless they were enemies who wanted to harm the heroine.
“Now… “Listen carefully.”
Yuuko, who was taking a step back, shrinking her body, carefully stretched out her index finger.
“I… “I will save Haruna.”
“…… From whom?”
“From you!”
“……… ….”
No, that’s….
I sighed, feeling the risk of things getting complicated.
“I don’t know what you’re trying to do… “I hope it doesn’t cause any trouble.”
“There is no way Haruna truly likes you. Such a cute girl who is so innocent and innocent… !”
She seemed extremely sincere when talking about Haruna.
“So… ! I rescue Haruna from your demonic beast… !”
Yuuko, who was shouting proudly at me, who was a few steps away with her hands raised, lost her footing.
“Huh, huh!!”
This was on the rock leading to the cave entrance. It was wet and slippery, and you had to be careful even when standing.
Quickly stretches out his hand. I barely managed to pull Yuuko’s arm as she tried to fall back.
“Are you okay!?”
She asked in surprise, pulling her closer.
“Ah, ah… thanks….”
Yuko, who was embarrassed and trying to express her gratitude, got startled and fell away from me.
“Do you think I’ll be fooled by something like this? “I won’t pass up!”
“…… No, because I almost fell just now.”
I only helped because it was dangerous.
“Anyway! “Mark my words!”
After giving such a clumsy warning, Yuuko turned around and left the scene.
Save Haruna from my demonic beast… Is it.
I was dumbfounded for a moment, but soon forgot about it and thought of something else.
Now that I think about it, Haruna today was a little strange.
When I told her she could come visit me anytime, she insisted that she would come even at dawn.
Was that a joke?
I returned to the shore, hoping that no trouble would arise.
