Chapter 72 Life is Short

Saria.

A chain of Italian restaurants that catered to the masses with low prices, there was one near Soubu High School and Tama Plaza Station.

Students loved to go there after school, and according to reliable sources, the frequency of couples spotted there was even higher than in the school’s central courtyard, making it a haven for those in love.

“What do you want to eat?”

Asakura Yuu held the menu, with Momo sitting across from him, Yui by his side, and Yukino at an angle.

The seating arrangement wasn’t particular, and with only one guy among them, it was inevitable that he’d end up sitting in a row with the girls.

[Yui Yuigahama’s affection level +2, 2000 points added]

The sudden system prompt left Asakura Yuu stunned – what had he done to deserve the affection points?

Yuigahama-san, Yuigahama-sama, Yui-chan, please be more modest!

“Yuu-chan, I want this,” Yui said, pointing to the menu in Asakura Yuu’s hand, and as expected, their arms touched, her casual summer dress revealing a considerable amount of cleavage compared to Yukino’s… making it hard to look away!

Sorry, the universal breast attraction law is too strong, Newton!

Forgive me!

I’m truly sorry!

“Can you fill up on just desserts?”

“I had breakfast, so I’m not hungry yet…” Yui said, sneaking a glance at Yukino’s expression.

The atmosphere remained uneventful.

‘Yuki-chan, if you don’t like him,…I’ll try to make him like me, is that allowed? Is it not sneaky?’

The current atmosphere of the Service Club was something Yui Yuigahama enjoyed.

But since a week ago, Asakura Yuu’s face kept popping up in her mind – when she woke up, when she slept, her thoughts were in disarray…

She wanted to stop, to define these feelings as friendship, but her heart skipped a beat whenever she saw him, and her thoughts were a jumble.

Just meeting him made her incredibly happy, and their conversations replayed in her mind – these feelings were definitely not friendship, she was certain.

What should she do?

Yui didn’t know; she didn’t have Yukino’s quick wit, and during their usual conversations, she could only grasp half of what was being said.

So,

she found her own answer…

All she had to do was acknowledge her unrelenting feelings as love, and the story that unfolded would surely be a genuine love story.

Life is short, go for romance, girl!

Falling for someone else isn’t wrong, especially when they’re single.

What’s the problem with making a move?

Letting the person you like go to another girl, that’s what’s weird, right?

“Yuigahama-sama and Asakura-sama have such a great relationship.” Momo leaned on her side, teasing.

This is totally love.

“…It’s not that great.” Yui blushed and moved away at Momo’s remark.

‘You idiot, Yui, there are others here besides Yuki-chan.’

I almost became a romance-brained girl who cares about nothing but romance… Ugh, so embarrassing.

Yui pulled out her phone to distract herself and ease the awkwardness.

She opened an anonymous forum.

The forum that scared her a week ago now had little about her.

But the attacks on someone else hadn’t stopped at all.

Though not hot, they were ongoing… Posts like [Asakura Yuu from class 2-F is a scumbag who toys with girls] became the new entertainment for Soubu High School students.

Asakura Yuu’s response to this was… ‘No matter what they say or do, it won’t lower my status.

It doesn’t matter.’

Yui envied his attitude, and at the same time, felt a bit sorry for him.

……

Inside a post on the anonymous forum.

[The apes from West High are lurking around again. Who knows what they’re up to.]

[Those simple-minded, muscular fools are good for nothing but eating and wandering wwww]

[A school with a deviation value of 50 is kind of funny, huh? Lol w]

[Everyone, stop mocking and listen. I heard someone got extorted recently. Be careful on your way back.]

‘West High?’ Yui closed the post without reading much.

Her impression of West High was still stuck on the last anonymous letter.

The rumor about Kakeru Tobe was that he always fought with the delinquents from West High… Whether it was true, Yui didn’t know, but she knew West High was a bad school where students didn’t care about studying.

‘But everyone is being so harsh.’

A deviation value of 50 means you’re in the top 50% nationwide, not that bad.

But compared to Soubu High School’s deviation value, it’s lacking, since 69 means the top 3%… Even if it’s behind some private prep schools, Yui understood why everyone was proud.

“Okay, that’s all, thanks.”

Asakura Yuu finished ordering after asking around.

After the waiter left, Yui Yuigahama looked at him and asked:

“Yuu-chan, do you know anything about West High?”

“Hm… yeah, I’ve seen them around, but not that many. I occasionally spot them on the streets, and their black, closed-button uniforms are pretty eye-catching. I have no idea how the students at Nishi High manage to keep up with such an old-fashioned style that’s been around since the Meiji period.”

The girls’ skirts reach down to their calves, unlike at Soubu High School, where even if they’re shorter than knee-length, they won’t get caught by the discipline committee.

“Huh? You’re only interested in the uniforms, Yuu-chan?”

“Normally, the skirts on girls’ uniforms only go down to the knees, right? And a lot of girls will roll them up to make them shorter… but Nishi High’s long skirts give me this weird feeling like I’ve time-traveled back to the Showa era. It’s really captivating, like walking down the street and suddenly running into a samurai in armor – the contrast is super strong.”

“You can casually comment on girls’ skirts like that, and your pervert skills are beyond my imagination.”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

“Oh, so those are students from the high school nearby. I’ve seen them taking videos with their phones, doing weird poses.” Momo often sees some delinquent-looking high school students gathered together when she goes out to buy ingredients and daily necessities.

“It’s probably for TikTok, right? Speaking of which, the trends change so fast these days…” As a current high school student, Yui is always keeping up with the latest trends, unlike Yukino.

“You’re really into that stuff, Yui?” Asakura Yuu knows she secretly posts her outfits on Instagram.

“Why did bubble socks become a thing? I just don’t get it!”

“You’re a high school girl asking that?”

“The old-fashioned girls and us modern girls are different… I tried wearing bubble socks, but they didn’t match at all, and they made my calves look thick.” Yui says with a troubled tone.

Meanwhile, Yukino quietly takes note of this.

Yuigahama-san likes pop culture, so maybe consider that for her birthday gift!

“The ‘old-fashioned girls’ you’re talking about are probably just from about 20 years ago.”

Smoky makeup, exaggerated styles – it’s like they’re trying to be some kind of dark, old witch.

“Now that you mention it, the Heisei style is pretty popular lately, and it feels like everyone’s going back in time.”

“Retro styles have always been leading the trends, and people like to be part of the minority, making them feel smart.”

But at the same time, people subconsciously follow the crowd, like sheep…

Sorry, I think we’ve talked about sheep and wolves enough.
