42 – A Room for Two
I turned my head and looked behind me when I heard the call.
Yuki tapped me on the shoulder and smiled playfully.
“Are you going to the track and field practice right now?”
“Yes.”
“I’m busy. Being a manager must be very difficult.”
Looking around, Yuuki asked me subtly.
“…… Do you want to come over to my house after practice today?”
“Huh?”
“Actually, Haruna would ask. After all, we met anyway.”
This is Yuuki’s house.
It was an unexpected event. I’m not even a heroine.
“We decided to get together and play. How is it?”
“Together….”
“The two of us, Haru-chan, and Eri’s sister.”
“……… ….”
“Are you coming? There’s no point in refusing. Because I told Haru-chan to bring it unconditionally.”
To face Takase-senpai right now… Is it really good or bad?
I didn’t know.
“Takase-senpai… Did you say you were coming?”
“I haven’t asked yet. Haru-chan said he would bring me after practice.”
Then… Maybe the seniors won’t come.
Even so, there was no reason for me to refuse the event to gather in Yuuki’s room.
“Come. You will definitely enjoy it.”
“……… ….”
Nodded. Yuuki said, “Yes. It should be!” And briskly passed me by.
I stood there blankly for a while.
Because the aftermath of yesterday’s incident is still there.
Actually, I still haven’t been able to find an answer.
If Takase-senpai had feelings for me.
If that’s why you ruined the tournament by rotting your heart out over love affair.
I had nowhere else to go.
It is a dilemma.
I just wanted to help her by supporting her track team and stopping her Masao Suda.
I expected that by doing so, her physical condition would return to normal and her original skills would return.
Eliminate her cause her ruined her.
I keep Masao Suda in check and support him diligently so that the atmosphere of the track and field team does not deteriorate. I was mistaken that it would be me.
But now the cause has become me.
Why did this happen?
I came home last night and thought about it all night, but in the end I couldn’t come up with an answer.
Is it certain that in this world, Eri Takase ruins her body and ruins the tournament with her low condition? Because that’s something I can’t change no matter how hard I try.
I wonder if the cause eventually changed from Suda to me?
Then if I take my feet off the track and field team.
What will happen then?
I thought about it in many ways, but in the end, no answer came out.
I went to school the next day in a slightly tired state because I hadn’t slept through the night.
Come down to the playground and say hello to the members.
When our eyes met, Sayoko-senpai gave me a worried look.
“…… Manager group. Are you okay?”
“Yes?”
“You look a bit tired….”
“Ahahahaha… sorry.”
“No, I don’t want an apology….”
Senpai looked at me with a small sigh.
That must be worrying about what happened yesterday.
She was strongly questioned by her senpai about what Eri had done to her and what had just happened to her. Although she had a hard time stopping Sayoko-senpai, who insisted that in some cases she would call out Takase-senpai and ask her for her faults.
“…… If you are tired, you can go in and rest today.”
“Senior. What are you doing? You were usually much stricter with me.”
“That, that… !”
It seemed that Sayoko-senpai still couldn’t shake off her suspicions.
That I was almost s*xually harassed or coerced by Eri.
Strictly speaking, that wasn’t a false statement.
I had no intention of blaming Takase-senpai.
“It’s my fault for not taking care of myself properly. All the other members had an after party together. Can’t I just rest?”
“……… ….”
She, her vice-captain, calls out and rebukes her captain, Takase-senpai.
Yesterday’s events are exposed. I could see that it would never have a good effect on athletics.
That’s why the atmosphere in the track and field club is distorted because of me.
That was unacceptable.
“Okay. But if it’s really hard, tell me. Understand?”
“Senior… You suddenly become so kind that I can’t get used to it.”
“You… !”
It must have been because of what happened yesterday.
She said with a smile, as if telling her not to worry about it at all, and Sayoko-senpai made an angry expression.
However, she soon turned around and approached the other members.
“Manager-kun~!”
“Ah… I know, senior.”
At that time, the member who hugged me from behind and pressed my shoulders was Anda senior.
“What’s going on! Are you still tired from the after party yesterday?”
“I guess so. I think I should do some exercise too.”
The senior grinned and glanced around at the members around her.
“By the way… Is what you said yesterday true?”
“Yes?”
“You said you had a girlfriend…. I couldn’t believe I lied because I had no intention of dating anyone….”
He let out a small sigh.
In response, the senior puckered her lips and grumbled.
“Ooh! What! Do you hate us that much?”
“I didn’t lie. It really is.”
“Who are you?”
“……… ….”
Can I clarify?
I think about it for a while.
I found her while looking around her playground.
“Excuse me. That kid.”
“…… Cato Award? Really?”
“Yes.”
“…………….”
Senpai Anda, who opened her mouth wide, soon became a resigned expression.
“Really… Your level is so high….”
She should have been honest from the start.
As if senior Anda had finally given up, she looked back at her senior Yuni and said.
“There is no comparison. Manager… There must have been a reason you weren’t interested in us.”
“No, it shouldn’t exist.”
The senior who giggled soon became serious.
“I was relieved though.”
“What is it?”
“Manager-kun. Didn’t you tell me you wanted to have an after party yesterday? When we are down.”
“……… ….”
If I had to put it senpai, I would say she is the mood maker of the track and field team. She was a senior who always had fun when she was with her and lifted everyone up.
“To be honest, I was a little nervous too. At that time, I was very grateful to the manager for leading us.”
“I heard you led me… I didn’t do anything….”
“No, I pushed him. They cheered me on.”
“……… ….”
She didn’t wave a placard or shout the names of her seniors in a loud voice.
The senior spoke to me with a rare serious expression.
“Yesterday was so much fun. To be honest, without the manager, we would have died today.”
It’s not for the sake of the members, but rather to know Takase-senpai’s true intentions…. Receiving an unexpected thank you made me feel embarrassed.
“Same as the campus newspaper that was published today…. It’s a bad time, but with the help of the manager, everyone can cheer up… I want you to know.”
“hahahaha… ….”
From noble mtl dot com
Oops, I don’t know how to react.
“What are you embarrassed about? There are cute parts too~”
“It’s because seniors are so serious that they don’t fit in.”
“What~!? This cheeky junior!”
The senior who clung to me like that and joked with me, at the end, patted me on the back and waved her hand.
“Just in case… Won’t you stop?”
At those words, I unknowingly shuddered.
Because last night while trying to figure out a solution, she also came up with the option of quitting her track and field team.
As if the senpai was just joking, she fell away from me trying to participate in practice.
This is complicated.
It is not a good solution to quit calling at this time.
That would have a bad effect on Taka Se-senpai as well as on her teammates.
I have no choice but to solve it.
I saw Takase-senpai who was far away.
Maybe he was deliberately keeping his distance, he never faced me or even exchanged greetings today.
Move your steps towards it.
“Senior~!”
I waved her hand and approached her.
The startled senior looked back at me. Her eyes were quivering.
“Ah…… Huh. Manager.”
“Hello. How is her body?”
“Yes… It’s not bad….”
Oops… Seeing the senior who treats me with an exceptionally hesitant expression makes her nervous too. Because I remembered what happened yesterday.
If Sayoko-senpai didn’t show up at that time, she would be stuck….
“Well, then… I’m just… !”
We only exchanged a few words of greeting. The old man avoided me.
I was taken aback by the senior’s reaction, but at the same time, I was relieved.
“……… Whoa.”
I’m also awkward.
If the senior really likes me. How should i react
I can’t savagely throw them away or accept them with open arms.
I am not Yuuki.
This world is not a harem love comedy.
Now this place is like reality to me.
I participated in practice while being conscious of Takase-senpai, who distanced himself from me with such a complicated feeling.
At this rate, senpai won’t be participating in the meeting Yuuki talked about today. Anticipating that
That was a good thing for me too.
Because I still couldn’t figure out how to treat a senior.
I received a text message from Haruna after practice, and returned to the classroom to pack my bag.
I can’t help it. Let’s leave work early today.
Hasn’t Sayoko-senpai also said that? When club activities are over, let’s go home.
After leaving school first, I left school early after a long time.
I walked down the familiar road and rang the bell in front of Yuuki’s house.
“Oh, are you here? Come in.”
Yuki opened the door and greeted her with a puzzled expression.
“But… did you come alone? How about Haru-chan?”
“I think it will be a little late. He told me to go first.”
“Really?”
Yuki didn’t take it seriously and invited me into the room.
I sat on the floor looking around at a desk, a bed, and an ordinary room filled with comics and games.
“……… Huh. How about a day? Are you coming now?”
Yuki, who came in with me, was talking on the phone.
“In front of this? Ehh, okay.”
Putting his phone in his pocket, Yuuki turned to me and said.
“I’m sorry, but could you wait here for a minute?”
“Huh?”
“Haru-chan is going to stop by the mart. Because you asked me to lift your load.”
Mart?
Surprised, Yuuki smiled and said.
“Because we buy a lot of snacks and drinks and play games. Minsu wait in my room.”
“Ah…… Huh.”
Is that so?
After leaving the room, Yuuki suddenly became alone and looked around blankly.
There was a framed picture on the desk.
Looking closer, it was a picture of Yuuki, Haruna, and Eri that seemed to be taken when they were young.
“……… Childhood friend.”
With an emphasis on destroying those relationships, destroying the relationships and situations around Yuuki is the reason this world was created… Is it too cruel to say that?
But that wasn’t entirely incorrect.
More than just losing a relationship with the girl you like, as the story progresses, Yuuki’s surroundings become distorted and Yuuki herself collapses.
I couldn’t let it go and left… I became a lover with Haruna.
No way… I am the one who destroys Yuuki… Or what?
No, no, he shook his head.
That can’t be.
I heard the creaking of the stairs going up to the second floor through the slightly open door.
That wasn’t the sound of multiple people coming up.
When I looked back to see what Yuuki had left behind
“……… Manager… army?”
It was Takase-senpai who opened the door and entered.
“Ah…… Senior.”
Today’s meeting… Were you coming too?
No, before that… No way….
“With Yuuki… Haruna… ?”
“They said they were shopping at the mart….”
“Then….”
Not in my room, but in someone else’s room.
I stayed alone with the heroine in the room of the main character, Yuuki, and for a moment I closed my eyes while resting my temples on my temples.
“Manager…… Army… ….”
The senior stood far away in front of her door, unable to do this or that, lowering her head.
“Lee, come in first. Sit down and wait.”
“That… okay.”
The senior put down his bag and sat down on the bed.
I’m right under him on the floor.
It’s not a joke, it’s awkward.
I’m sure Yuuki isn’t buying you a drink.
This senpai is weak to alcohol, no joke.
In the midst of enduring awkward silence, hoping that such an unfortunate incident would never happen again.
“…… Heh… !”
A hand gently touched my shoulder. When I turned around and made a strange noise without even realizing it, the senior took his hand behind him and was taken aback.
“Ah… Mi, I’m sorry… ! He, I was just trying to talk… !”
Then you can just call.
I couldn’t bring myself to react like that, so I shrugged my shoulders.
While waiting for them to return, I glanced at the seniors behind me.
I’m sure it won’t be attacked….
You sure???
