139 – Seo-ah’s Troubles
I was looking for a place where the two of us could have a quiet conversation when I came in, but now that I look at it again, it’s really gloomy.
Did I spend time alone in a place like this every lunch hour?
I entered the dark back of the campus, admiring the person I was a few months ago.
“What is here?”
Yuuko also looks around her in disgust.
“There’s no place to talk about it at school.”
I scratched the back of my neck and leaned against the wall.
“Anyway, I have something to tell you.”
After parting ways with the counselor Kotomi Yanase, we moved on.
Yuuko also seemed to sense something unusual and obediently followed my request.
“We met just a little while ago.”
Calling my embarrassed mind, I spoke.
“I want to talk about Kotomi Yanase.”
“Oh, really?”
I nodded.
First of all, the first question to ask is
“You know the story, right?”
“Story?”
“This is the story of Kotomi Yanase.”
Of course, this is it.
Anyway, there was no need to ask, but just to confirm.
“No.”
But Yuuko shook her head.
“Huh?”
“I don’t know.”
“Really?”
Yuuko frowned.
“No… why?”
Didn’t you know about this world?
The other heroines followed you so closely and called you sister.
Then shouldn’t she know about this girl too?
“Because I didn’t see it.”
Yuko spoke confidently.
“I can’t believe I didn’t see it….”
Yanase Kotomi’s part is the last one. Anyway, that’s true.
“All I’ve seen is Akira Shiraishi.”
“Why didn’t you watch until the end?”
“Do I have to watch it until the end?”
Yuko asked me the opposite.
After hearing that, I actually had nothing to say.
“Haruna Kato locked herself in her room after she dropped out of school, and Eri Takase disappeared after being expelled. “Akira Shiraishi was hospitalized due to mental shock.”
Yuuko recited the synopsis of her jutsu as if she had really seen it up to that point.
It was so bad that Yuuko knew why she closed the book.
“Should I keep reading this comic?”
Yuko questioned me as if she was getting angry just thinking about it.
“I don’t want to see stories like this. So, I was thinking about throwing the book away and creating a second version myself.”
It’s secondary creation.
Yuuko’s paintings were of such a high standard that one could tell even after seeing them only once.
She also wanted to read the fanzine of the manga she drew.
That’s not what’s important.
“Okay, okay. Then I’ll tell you here.”
“Wait a minute. I don’t want to hear it. Do not say.”
“Why!”
Yuuko covered her ears and took a step back.
“You have to know to proceed with the story.”
“What did you summon me for?”
“That’s right!”
To discuss the future.
It would be more helpful for the two of us to put our heads together rather than just myself.
“Yanase Kotomido… “You have to save it.”
She spoke with difficulty.
Yuko looked at me intently.
“Okay.”
She sighed and slowly lowered her hand.
“Tell me briefly instead. Just about Yanase. “I’m not curious about what happens to other heroines or Yuuki.”
I understand how you feel.
I also suffered a serious mental shock after watching this cartoon to the end.
Should I say that it is truly the worst of all.
“Yanase was murdered by a stalker.”
He said it really simply.
Yuko’s eyes widened even further.
“For your information, that stalker is a male student at this academy who has a crush on her.”
Yuko looked confused for a moment.
Her eyes move back and forth as if lost in thought.
“Wait a minute… Could it be that that boy….”
I neither confirmed nor denied.
I literally kept my mouth shut and looked away from her.
Yuko said she wasn’t curious about other heroines or Yuuki’s stories.
“Ha.”
She sighed and shook her head.
“This is truly the worst world.”
“That’s it.”
I saw the sky.
Even in this world, the clouds were flowing leisurely.
“But that’s what happens there.”
Yuko immediately refuted me.
“No one got hurt in this world. Everyone says it’s peaceful. Yuuki didn’t break down at all either.”
“Yes, I know.”
That was fortunate.
“But you have to be careful.”
I put into words the thoughts I had inferred from past events.
“Haruna, Eri, and Akira. “Everything that was supposed to happen happened.”
Even in such a peaceful daily life, misfortune was sure to come to them.
For Haruna, it’s the soccer club. Eri is the track and field coach. Akira was kidnapped.
“So, I don’t know.”
Yanase also had no idea what would happen.
“Please do me a favor. “I wish you could help me.”
So she lowered her head.
“What, what’s happening all of a sudden? Don’t do this… !”

Yuko shouted in embarrassment.
“You are in a position to monitor Yuuki. It’s just a good relationship. “I can’t watch from that close.”
She is Yuuki’s younger sister.
She happened to be living in the same house as him.
“Ha.”
Yuuko turned her head, sighing an unknown number of times.
“Okay. “What should I do?”
“Are you helping me?”
“Okay. Of course….”
At that moment, I was so moved that I jumped forward.
“Thank you, Yuuko!”
“aaah!”
Because I thought about the possibility of being rejected. When the time came, I tried my best to persuade him or give up.
It was a good thing that it was accepted so easily.
“Joe, stop! “Don’t grab it suddenly!”
“Ah….”
I was holding onto her arm without realizing it.
“I’m sorry. “Yuuko.”
“……… You.”
She glared at me while holding her arm.
“I told you to call me by my first name when we were together.”
“Huh? Yu… ah.”
I forgot about it.
“Thank you. “Seoya.”
“Hmph.”
She pursed her lips and gave a dissatisfied look.
“Well, how long are you going to hold on to that?”
“Oh, sorry.”
Only then did she let go of her arm.
Seo-ah said while gently stroking her slowly lowered arm.
“Then I just need to keep an eye on Yuuki?”
“Rather than surveillance… Please watch for now.”
How Yuuki changes after meeting Yanase. His behavior or anything different from usual.
She asked me to watch those things.
“…… Okay.”
“Yes. “Thank you Seoya.”
“How many times do I say thank you?”
Because I was quite surprised. She knew it would take some persuasion.
“Rather than that… “If you’re really grateful, why don’t you express it through actions rather than words?”
“Huh?”
Seo-ah turned her body around and spoke calmly.
“…… On the way… “Please at least buy me a parfait.”
Parfaella.
That doesn’t really matter.
“Sorry. “I don’t think it will work.”
“What?”
Seoa looked back at me and had a dumbfounded expression on her face.
“Well, what is it? To me, that kind of thing….”
“No, that’s not it.”
He waved her hand and said.
“Not today. “I have an appointment with Haruna later.”
“Ah….”
When Haruna’s name was mentioned, she was dazed for a moment.
“I’ll buy the parfait next time. “Please see it that way.”
She turned around and immediately left the place.
Oh my.
She regretted that she should have at least handed over the money to buy the parfait, but Seo-ah had already disappeared.

Walking becomes faster.
Why did you take that kid out there?
She was actually expecting a favor from Minsu.
She was rather waiting.
I can also help them.
Because I was excited by the thought that I, too, could be of strength.
So, my current response of pretending that I couldn’t win was definitely the best action.
Because it didn’t hurt my pride and resulted in Kim Min-soo being grateful to me.
But.
“What on earth is a parfait?” !”
Why did I ask for such a favor?
I don’t even like desserts that much.
I hinted at him asking me to spend time with him after school.
Furthermore, I was rejected.
Unable to bear the shame, I ran away and quickly returned to the classroom.
I pack my bag and open the door.
Ah, fool, fool.
You didn’t have to ask for something like that.
I dug a hole for myself and fell into it.
I wonder if Minsu is acting up right now.
He may accept that I want to spend time with him and be happy that he has the upper hand in the relationship.
Absolutely not.
That’s just something that came out inadvertently.
Since the man and I are no longer in a relationship that can be called friends, I can make such a light suggestion.
Yeah, I never wanted to spend time with that guy.
If I get agitated like this, problems will arise in my harem plan.
I met that man… No, I don’t want that guy to really like me.
I walked quickly down the hallway to erase the turmoil in my heart.
“Oh my.”
I stopped at the sound of a voice coming from behind.
“Have you gone back yet?”
You are like that. Why are you still in the first grade hallway?
I looked back at Yanase.
“Minsu too. You can’t run in the hallway. Do we look alike because we are friends? hahahaha.”
She smiled and came over and stood in front of me.
“Are you going home?”
“……… Is it so.”
For some reason, I felt uncomfortable with this woman.
All the other heroines were the best characters that captured my heart.
I had no feelings for her from the beginning.
I don’t know why.
It may just be a matter of taste.
But what is the strange feeling of resistance now?
“You seem to be worried about something.”
“Yes?”
Yanase hinted in a kind tone.
“Will you be my first counseling student?”
She walked around the first grade classroom today, announcing the work of the newly appointed guidance counselor.
Study, career, personal concerns, etc… I heard that they can provide consultation on various issues.
“That look when you leave the classroom. He looked very confused. “Perhaps I can be of help?”
Did you see it?
It is possible to talk around without thinking about anything.
You can also talk brightly as you would with other students or faculty.
“No. “There is no such thing.”
However, I shook my head resolutely.
“Okay then.”
Because she had a strange feeling of rejection towards this woman, that she didn’t even want to wear that mask.
It was a strange feeling, different from when dealing with Kim Min-soo.
“I’ll wait for you anytime. “Please come to the counseling room.”
I heard a voice behind me, but I ignored it and went downstairs.
How can you help me?
You are just a character in this world.
My plan to connect them without hurt, my confused feelings about that man.
There was no way a woman like that could help.
