Continuation from the last chapter, Takai Yumi’s viewpoint, Part ②.

Lately, Uehara-san has been spending hee lunch break with Yuuki and his friend Okita-kun as well. Perhaps she was disgusted with Kurashima.

I don’t like that Kurashima either. I had heard that he was popular, but I had no idea what was good about him.

I was invited to an anonymous group chat room on my phone right after lunch break. Normally I would ignore the invitation, but for some reason I was intrigued today and decided to join.

——?

I was surprised when I saw the message in the group chat. Because two people close to me had been written with false and rootless slanderous statements by name.

I turned to the two people I was talking to over lunch, but they didn’t seem to have changed. Maybe two people are not invited to the group chat. In any case, I need to check with Yuuki.

After school that day, I received an invitation from Yuuki in the usual library. I was happy that he wanted me.

But I noticed that he was acting a little strange. Perhaps he know about the group chat?

As soon as I entered the house, Yuuki sought me out in the living room, and that night he was rough, unlike our usual sex.

I was so happy that Yuuki had asked me out that I was fully prepared to accept him without having to do anything.

Yuuki sought me out and treated me roughly, as if to vent his desires.

「Sorry for being kind of rough on you.」

We lay down on the sofa, exhausted, hugging each other and resting, and Yuuki apologized to me, as if he had become calm.

What did he have to apologize for? Being sought by Yuuki is proof of my existence. I am grateful, but there is nothing to be apologized for.

Yuuki looked different from usual, and I asked him what had happened.

Yuuki was trying to hide something. I showed him the group chat screen on my phone.

Yuuki did not know about the message, and when he saw it, he was trembling with anger.

So, this is what caused Yuuki’s roughness today? Maybe there was something else he didn’t want to talk about.

I asked Yuuki to protect Uehara-san from being exposed to ill will. I don’t dislike her for talking to me like this and trying to be friendly with me. I rather liked her. But I don’t actively try to befriend her. She is too dazzling for me.

That’s why I asked Yuuki for a favor. He is like me, but fundamentally different.

Yuuki also acts sober and avoids people, but unlike me he is one who can walk where the sun shines.

Yes—— he is someone who can walk the same path as Uehara-san. So I left her in Yuuki’s capable hands.

◇ ◇ ◇

Yuuki was placed on home leave until his disciplinary action was decided for violent behavior.

The group chat posts were made public during a special homeroom session, and the students began to be interviewed.

The group chat was quickly deleted and the investigation ended without identifying the mastermind behind the slander. It seems that this is because Uehara-san and Yuuki did not ask for more research than they are getting now.

The disciplinary measures were decided and Yuuki, Kurashima, and Taniguchi were suspended for one week.

I looked up suspension and was relieved to find that, unlike suspension, it was a light punishment.

I was the one who asked him to protect Uehara-san. If anything happened to Yuuki, I would have no regrets.

The rumor that had been written in the group chat room during Yuuki’s house arrest was still a groundless lie had spread throughout the class, and the matter had been calmed down.

During this time, Uehara-san came to the library to talk to me. Most of them were about how Yuuki had helped her.

Uehara-san happily said with heart in her eyes that Yuuki was angry for her and that he was cool.

It seems that Uehara-san is already infatuated with Yuuki. It was strange, but for some reason I had mixed feelings about it.

◇ ◇ ◇

After school on the day Yuuki’s house arrest ended, I was reading in the quiet library.

Yuuki had not been in the library for the past week. Seeing him standing at the counter filled me with the feeling that my normal routine had returned.

I had felt lonely and forlorn all week. My existence is valuable only when Yuuki wants me. This past week without him has been a time of futility for me.

Uehara-san has not yet come to the library today. It was the perfect time to ask Yuuki out.

I took the book I wanted to borrow and went to Yuuki, who was standing at the counter.

「I’ll be waiting for you at home today.」

I held his hand, said a few words, and left the library.

「I feel like I’ve missed something in this room too.」

That night, Yuuki muttered to me in my room, where he had not been for a long time.

「I just didn’t show up for about ten days.」

I answered yes, but the fact is that Yuuki was in my room for the first time in a long time, and I too was feeling nostalgic for him.

Yuuki kissed me tenderly. Unlike the previous rough kiss, he kisses me passionately with his tongue entwined with mine, as if he was kissing a lover.

Just being naked and holding each other close makes me feel as if the hole in my heart is closing up.

My body wanted Yuuki more than usual.

And I was so tired that I seemed to have fallen asleep.

I woke up, but my body still wanted Yuuki.

「Then let’s do it again. I’ll make it big.」

That night I repeatedly asked for Yuuki.

I was drowning in the sensation, and I went to climax so many times.

◇ ◇ ◇

『I’m in front of Takai’s house right now. Is it okay if I go there now?』

Suddenly, I received a message from Yuuki and he came to my house.

Yuuki was supposed to have gone to see a movie with Uehara-san today. So why did they come to me?

Yuuki appeared before me, his hair cut and changed to a simple, fashionable appearance. He said Uehara-san was handling the situation.

It gave a fresh image and suited him greatly. Uehara-san knows Yuuki quite well. In comparison, I have done nothing to help him change.

「Sorry for coming here without notice. I just suddenly wanted to see Takai.」

When Yuuki asked for it, it was often when there was some kind of stimulation in his mind. Maybe something happened with Uehara-san.

But I only respond to him when he asks for it. I don’t need a reason. That is the relationship between Yuuki and me.

「Nhn, I don’t have anyone else, so I’m fine. I wanted to see Yuuki, too.」

I was so happy that he said he missed me, I just had to say I missed him too.

Yuki rolled his eyes and was surprised. I guess he didn’t expect me to say that. I myself am surprised that I even mentioned this.

「Did you have fun today?」

I usually don’t care about other people, but today I am strange. I am strangely conscious of Uehara-san.

Because she went to the movies with Yuuki?

Because Uehara-san likes Yuuki?

I envied Yuuki, who was changing little by little, and Uehara-san, who was influencing him.

Seeing the two of them changing, I hated myself again for not being able to change anything.

I also want to change again, I know in the back of my mind that I want to change.

But no one can tell me what to do.
