55 – Akira Shiraishi. To be honest, the past of Shiraishi and Yuuki was a light scene that passed by in about one cut. Just a flashback showing that the two had a relationship when they were young. Because it was just one cut, I didn’t know what kind of child Shiraishi was as a child, or what kind of relationship he was with Yuuki.
– At that time, I was a quiet and shy kid. –
– Like you? –
– No… !? I’m talking about Shiraishi-san! –
I see.
I muttered as I put down my cell phone.
– Sorry. I’m kidding. So you’ve only known each other for less than a month? –
– Yeah… It was Yuu-kun who approached that child who was alone and became his friend. Yuu-kun knows better than me. –
Shiraishi and Yuuki, who stayed in this village for a while due to their parents’ circumstances, became friends. Like my childhood friend, Haruna.
– I was surprised that his personality has changed so much. Of course, while playing with us, I knew that he was also a prankster and had a part like a tomboy. –
– You mean it wasn’t the same kind as now? –
– What is a pipe? –
– Ah… What… I mean someone who will do anything to get attention. –
Akira Shiraishi.
She was in the middle of explaining to Haruna how she had come to Yuuki’s house in her limousine with her.
I didn’t lie in particular.
Haruna was convinced when she said that as Yuuki’s friend, she went so far as to help Shiraishi lightly.
– What else are you up to? –
Of course, Haruna’s message at the very end clearly showed her anxiety and doubts toward me.
– What happened? –
– Anything. I started to get anxious about what Minsu was up to again. –
– There is no such thing. People are like some sort of troublemaker. –
Yeah, I don’t have any plans right now.
Unless Shiraishi wants to do something else.
For the time being, I watched slowly, trying to figure out what kind of person Shiraishi was.
An incident like this afternoon could have happened again if I had rushed out.
***
“Yeah~ let’s do it together.”
“Oh, yes.”
It was gym time.
I was relieved when Yuuki approached me first during gymnastics in pairs. Because of yesterday’s incident, I was worried that Shirashii and I might feel unfavorable.
I was going to come over and apologize at any time.
The opportunity came just in time.
“I am. Physical education from the first period. I really want you to see it. Is not it?”
“Yes.”
While conversing with the calmly muttering Yuuki, I glanced away.
Akira Shiraishi stood alone.
Yes. Such a situation
A child who is left alone when he should be paired up.
She looked around her as if she hadn’t grasped the situation yet.
It was Shiraishi who left a strong impression on the students with yesterday’s incident, but if it was a positive impression or a negative one, it was clearly the latter.
Breaking windows and appearing, flying over the school with a loud helicopter sound, shouting loudly.
She left the impression of her selfishness driving such incidents, so it is not easy to approach her.
“…… Shiraishi Award. Let’s do it together~”
“Oops. Miss Cato.”
From noble mtl dot com
Her quick-witted Haruna approached and held out her hand to Shiraishi.
Only then did I look back at Yuuki with relief.
With the sound of a whistle, pull your body forward all the way. Yuuki behind his back floated upwards.
Repeat the same exercise.
In the midst of that, I quietly said.
“I’m sorry about yesterday.”
“Huh? Oh~”
“When I was talking with Shiraishi, it suddenly happened….”
“Somehow, it seemed like that.”
Yuuki seemed to have convinced herself as well.
“By the way… What happened?”
In that case, ask right away.
Actually, there were not just one or two things that bothered me.
“Huh? What?”
“That attitude yesterday….”
I understand that Yuuki pushed Shiraishi away.
I think I can refuse for any reason.
But it was the first time I had seen Yuuki act so coldly towards others. Of course, Shiraishi’s appeal was excessive.
Still, she hadn’t expected him to coldly push away a schoolgirl her age. I wondered if there was something between the two that I didn’t know about.
“Yeah, Shiraishi was a little too much, but….”
Are you not my type or that this kind of behavior is a nuisance?
I wonder if Yuuki was a person who could express his opinions in such a clear way.
The height of indecision. Wasn’t Yuuki Yuu the male lead who lived according to the flow of this and that?
“Because I hate it. A kid like that.”
Without hesitation, Yuuki muttered.
“Are you disgusted?”
“If you open your mouth, how about Shiraishi, glorious Shiraishi? A kid who only believes in the fame of his family and behaves as he pleases… Aren’t you lucky?”
“……… ….”
That’s….
“That’s right. That’s good enough.”
It wasn’t a reason I couldn’t understand.
Shiraishi’s behavior could have seemed arrogant and arrogant enough to others.
“A girl full of pride like that is not my taste.”
“Then which one do you prefer?”
Finish gymnastics.
Yuuki lightly turned his shoulder and said.
“……… A cute, pretty and lively girl who is dedicated to me?”
“There are many.”
It’s not enough to just be dedicated, you have to be cute, pretty, and lively.
But the woman devoted to Yuuki right now…
There is none other than Shiraishi.
Besides, if it’s cute and pretty, it doesn’t fall behind.
Not to mention lively.
“Where can I find a girl like that~”
However, even if I mentioned the name, I didn’t seem to be convinced at all, so I gave up.
***
The door on the roof burst open.
A startled Haruna turned around. During a peaceful lunch break, there were not one or two outsiders who broke in out of nowhere.
“What, what… ?”
She exclaimed in bewilderment.
I wasn’t the only one who was speechless at the sight. Yuuki dropped his chopsticks and Takase-senpai stood up without a word.
Those who open the door on the roof are maids… And the butler… At the same time, they were dressed up cooks.
They enter in perfect order, surround us, and start preparing something. From people to carts that transport various tools.
Bowls, cutlery, knives, forks.
Cooks standing in their seats and starting to cook.
Maids carrying tableware.
Even the butlers carrying various utensils.
Under their leadership, this place was being transformed into a buffet.
At the same time
“Oh~~~ ho ho ho ho ho ho!!”
Akira Shiraishi appeared with that terrifying smile and stood in front of us.
“How are you all?”
“Shiraishi-san… ! Eh, what is all this?”
A surprised Haruna asked, and Shiraishi smiled confidently and shouted.
“I’ve heard that everyone gathers on the rooftop to share a meal every lunchtime. That’s why, as Yuuki-sama’s companion, I tried my best!”
No, this….
The outdoor buffet is being completed on the spot.
Sounds and smells of grilling, frying, and flipping something spread all over the place.
“Everyone, don’t feel pressured and enjoy your meal. If you need anything, just let me know.”
No, but….
Bewildered by the sudden sight, we couldn’t move even one step.
Haruna looked around her restlessly.
“There is no need to bring a packed lunch inconveniently in the future. That’s me! Leave it to Akira Shiraishi! For Yuuki-sama and her friends, every day… !”
You’re going to set up an outdoor buffet like this?
That’s welcome, but….
I glanced at the others.
Takase-senpai was just watching her surroundings with an expressionless expression, but I could tell. That obviously doesn’t feel good.
I am uncomfortable with the intrusion of a third party that broke the peaceful time.
And Haruna….
“Ah…… Uh… ….”
She is staring at her while holding her own lunchbox tightly.
“How are you, Yuuki-sama! Don’t do that, get up and have this sumptuous lunch… !”
Shiraishi smiles broadly and spreads her arms.
Rising up, Yuuki approached and stood in front of her.
Shiraishi’s expression, which had been shouting with a joyful expression like the owner of a party, changed.
“Yu…… Mr. Yuuki?”
He sighed.
I thought I wouldn’t be out for a while because I was feeling down about yesterday.
Unexpectedly, she was a woman full of energy.
And I was firmly mistaken for something.
She couldn’t quite pinpoint it, but unless she fixed it, there seemed to be no way to bridge the gap between her and us.
“……… You are not the Shiraishi I used to know.”
I couldn’t see Yuuki’s expression as he stood with his back to us. She was easily predictable by the look on her bewildered expression.
He must be as angry as he was yesterday, or even more angry than that.
As if she hadn’t expected such a reaction at all, her eyes were shaking.
“Yuuki-sama, what is that….”
“Don’t pretend to know me from now on.”
I feel like things have gotten worse… No, it was more of a hunch than a feeling.
This is contempt beyond anger.
A sign that Akira Shiraishi will never come into Yuuki Yuu’s heart, or that he will never be able to build a relationship at all.
“Because I have no intention of becoming your partner. Okay?”
“Ah…… Uh….”
As if receiving such a strong denial for the first time, tears form in her trembling eyes.
“Uh… Uh, why, why did you say that….”
“You are neither my partner nor my friend. If you do this again, I won’t let you go.”
Sheesh.
Yuuki clicked her tongue and brushed past Shiraishi. Haruna follows Yuuki as he exits the rooftop.
“Yu, Yuu-kun… !”
Her eyes met with the senior who turned her head.
“Senior… Please go dry.”
“……… Huh. I get it.”
Takase-senpai also went out on the roof. When only me and Shiraishi remained in the chilly atmosphere.
With a sigh, she sat down on the spot. Her surprised maid and her butlers approach her.
“You asked me to leave it to you….”
I muttered with a sigh.
Since then, the favorable impression has gone beyond zero and is negative.
There was no hope of recovery right away.
And knowing what kind of ending Shiraishi, who couldn’t connect with Yuuki, will face, I can’t help but move.
I heard sniffles and snorts.
Raising her head, she saw Shiraishi desperately holding back her tears.
She slowly raised her body and approached her.
She passed her butler and her maids who cared for her.
I stood in front of her staring blankly at me.
“…… Why did you do this?”
“… I-I just… I want to treat everyone to a good meal….”
You know that.
Lunch time was not just a meal, it was a time for us to have a good time.
In front of such a luxurious outdoor buffet, even the bento that Haruna made with all her heart loses its meaning. Our time also fades.
Shiraishi didn’t know that.
Besides, what Yuuki just said….
– You are not the Shiraishi I used to know –
I was very nervous.
That means she has changed.
It was a promise they made when they were young, but it meant that there was something that made Yuuki close his heart, different from those days when he had even a small heart.
“…… Black… Mr. Yuuki… Why….”
Only then did she continue to follow the same steps, and she suffered a deep wound in her heart and faced her catastrophe.
“Haa….”
I handed out a handkerchief to Shiraishi, who was squatting down and weeping.
From noble mtl dot com
“This… receive.”
“Ah… ….”
Carefully reaching out, Shiraishi takes the handkerchief and wipes his eyes.
I leaned over and asked her.
“Did you really transfer to this academy to bond with Yuuki?”
“……… It is.”
Raise your head and meet Shiraishi’s eyes.
“Is there a problem… ?”
No, it’s full of problems.
“Then let me help you. So that I can connect with Yuuki.”
“……… ….”
“Then don’t do anything.”
“Yes? That….”
“Just listen to me.”
That meant not doing things like yesterday and today.
“…… Could you?”
She stared blankly at me for a while, then silently nodded her head.
“Okay. I will take responsibility and lead you.”
She held out her hand.
Hesitating, she slowly stretched out her arm and took my hand.
“…… Stop crying.”
She sniffed at the words and sucked her nose in, Shiraishi rubbing her eyes.
Are you just soothed?
Those over there must have relieved Yuuki’s anger.
While I was worried, I was rubbing my stomach against the smell
“Mr. Minsu, what you just said….”
I heard her voice behind me.
“Yes. You’re anxious when you’re looking at it, so I’m saying I’ll step in and help you.”
The moment I said it lightly, Shiraishi came over and stood in front of me.
“Well, then… !”
“Huh?”
“Will you be my exclusive butler?”
“……… ….”
Butler…….
To me who was frozen in that unfamiliar word, Shiraishi shouted unchangingly and arbitrarily.
“If you would take care of me… If you would like to lead… !”
“No, that….”
“My own trustworthy… Please be the butler!”
Continued from the manager…
I was frozen over the new title I was given.
This girl is an idiot… Yuki got NTR’ed with her too?
