Chapter 19: Buddha, I’m suffering

Everyone else had left.

Yui Yuigahama thought about leaving for a moment too.

Although the conflict had started with her, things had long since deviated from their original course…

“Sorry, Yui, it’s all my fault.”

Looking at the two girls still confronting each other, Yui Yuigahama prepared to help Asakura escape her troubles.

“Yeah.”

After hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Yumiko Miura a few times, then walked out of the classroom.

Before leaving, she said to Yui Yuigahama, who was holding a lunchbox and looked troubled, “You still have something to say to Miura-san, right? I’ll go ahead, you come later.”

Yui Yuigahama nodded.

Seeing this, Asakura let out a sigh of relief and walked towards the center of the popular group.

Hina Ebina saw him coming and giggled, whispering, “Asakura-kun is really popular with girls, huh.”

“I’d rather not have this kind of popularity,” Asakura said, looking at Hayato Hayama.

“Hayama, you’re not being very kind this time.”

Meaning, you usually like to be a mediator, so why didn’t you help me this time?

Hayato Hayama, of course, understood what he was thinking.

But…

“Sorry, Asakura, my relationship with Yukinoshita-san isn’t good.”

“I’d be surprised if you had a good relationship with her,” Asakura muttered under his breath.

Yukinoshita, the student council president, dislikes the central heating system crowd.

In a sense, she’s no different from ordinary girls.

She longs to be pampered.

“…Yeah, you’re right,” Hayato Hayama said without arguing.

In his opinion, Asakura’s words made sense.

Back in elementary school, he had tried to help the isolated Yukino using the wrong methods at the wrong time.

Although his intentions were good, the outcome was a complete failure.

It’s only natural that Yukino Yukinoshita dislikes him.

“Wow, Yukinoshita-san is really scary, just like an ice cube!” Kakeru Tobe exclaimed in an exaggerated tone.

“I was too afraid to speak up earlier,” someone quickly added.

The speaker was Ooka, a member of the popular group and also a member of the baseball club.

Sports clubs are always synonymous with popularity, no matter where you are.

It’s a given that non-popular kids won’t join sports clubs.

“By the way, Yuu, what Yukinoshita-san said earlier, was it true?” Hina Ebina asked casually.

“It’s a lie, it’s obviously not possible, I actually like Yumiko more.”

Asakura Yuu’s current fondness for Yukino was actually far less than his fondness for Yumiko Miura; he didn’t respond earlier because he didn’t want to make Yukino uncomfortable.

The time spent with Yukino was indeed fun, and they got along relatively well.

Moreover, she would often fluctuate in her affection, helping Asakura Yuu accumulate points to become the king of harem.

But they had only known each other for a month.

Asakura Yuu knew very little about her.

Compared to the moon hanging high in the sky, the earth was definitely more reassuring.

“That’s good, I’d be sad if your relationship with Hayato were to end, so just stay single, Yuu.” Hina Ebina wiped the corner of her mouth, as if imagining some material for a fujoshi.

“By the way, in my mind, Hayato is the uke… hehehe~”

As she let out a strange laugh, Hayato Hayama felt a chill run down his back.

His sexual orientation was normal, and he wasn’t interested in guys!

However, Hina Ebina had always been like this, and Hayato Hayama couldn’t do anything about it.

“Hayama, your expression is too much, don’t you like being paired with me?” Asakura Yuu followed Hina Ebina’s lead, shifting the topic from their earlier argument.

“Hahaha, Hayato, your face and expression are super funny!” Kakeru Tobe patted his shoulder, bursting into laughter.

…………

At noon, after Yui Yuigahama and Yumiko Miura made up, there was no more reason to continue arguing.

Yui Yuigahama also gained a bit of courage to refuse others and not cater to the atmosphere because of this incident.

Good thing.

Everyone’s happy…

That’s what Asakura Yuu thought initially.

Until he saw the words Yukino wrote on the whiteboard with a marker after school.

[Hesitation hurts oneself and others. Self-righteous kindness is more cruel than brutal truth.]

“Yukinoshita-san, is this the topic we discussed today?”

“Let’s say you and the girl your class likes the most fell into the water together, who would you save?”

Asakura Yuu knew that she had probably heard about what he said earlier that afternoon.

As for who leaked the information?

There seemed to be only one possibility.

Yui Yuigahama, I treated you as a friend, but you went behind my back and told others about this top-secret information!

“I…”

“You’re on a canoe with only one empty seat, and there are bloodthirsty crocodiles and sharks in the water, along with a group of starving piranhas. In this situation, who would you save?”

“…The conditions are too many, aren’t they?” Asakura Yuu thought about whether he should play dumb and change the subject.

But Yukino interrupted him: “Between the most popular guy in class and you, I wouldn’t hesitate to save you, because I have feelings for you.”

It was like a confession, but Asakura Yuu’s heart only skipped a beat for a second, because he knew Yukino wasn’t talking about romantic feelings.

“You don’t have any other male friends, so you can say something like that, Yukinoshita-san, aren’t you being a bit too cunning?”

Yukino looked at him, as if asking “what about you?”

“I wouldn’t, and I don’t have the confidence to row a boat in such a dangerous place.”

“No one would. This is just a hypothetical scenario.”

“This topic is meaningless.”

“Yes. When I said that at lunch, it was just to make Miura-san angry, and it didn’t have any other meaning, just like this topic.” Yukino Yukinoshita didn’t think she was beautiful enough to make someone fall deeply in love with her after just knowing her for half a month.

But it was certain that Asakura Yuu had feelings for her.

Although he was all talk, he definitely hadn’t fallen in love with himself…

Yukino Yukinoshita made this guess.

As for why it was just a guess?

It was because the probability that Asakura Yuu loved her to the point of being unable to endure it, and thought about her every moment, was not 0!

This wasn’t self-conceit, but a judgment based on the available data.

“I’ve found that I’m liking you more and more, Yukinoshita-san.”

“You’re not lying, but you’re trying to divert my attention with these words.” Yukino Yukinoshita pointed to the content on the whiteboard with a marker.

She said: “You can only save one person, who would you save?”

“Yumiko.” Asakura Yuu answered this time with determination.

With his self-proclaimed gentleness that hurt both others and himself, he didn’t avoid the topic this time.

“Next time, I’ll make you choose me.”

She couldn’t accept being surpassed by that aggressive, ape-like person.

But when compared to other girls, it was still a matter of “who has a higher affection level in Asakura Yuu’s heart”, which was a pretty stupid thing in itself.

However, since she had chosen to do something stupid, she might as well do it to the best of her abilities.

“Is this just a question within the scope of friends?”

“What else could it be?”

Don’t be too full of yourself, Asakura-kun.
