    Chapter 86 Yukino’s Confession

    After promising to deliver the pet.

    Asakura Yuu had dinner at his junior’s house, watched TV…

    Unfortunately, there was no beloved sleepover scene.

    ……

    The next day.

    It started to rain.

    Asakura Yuu walked under his umbrella through the streets of the rainy season, hydrangeas everywhere, seesaw seats with water stains in the park, a few kindergarten kids with yellow hats boarding the school bus, middle school girls in sailor uniforms… their legs long and white.

    On Asakura Yuu’s shoulder, a butterfly with a base color of blue and dreamy hues was resting.

    ‘Can share vision, issue remote commands… strength equal to the original, speed greater than the original.’

    These were the results of his tests.

    If he changed his clone from a butterfly to a wolf or lion, the power should increase exponentially.

    But for now, the butterfly seemed like the perfect choice, considering the setting.

    Large creatures in the city would cause a stir.

    He didn’t think much more about it.

    Asakura Yuu quickened his pace.

    The rain was getting heavier.

    By the time he reached school, there was a faint sound of thunder in the distance.

    Asakura Yuu opened his shoe locker and found a new photo inside, depicting him and Isshiki Iroha in an intimate pose, with bold black letters written across it…… [Scum!

    Break up with me].

    ‘Break up?’

    You must be desperate, watching me with the person I like, red-eyed from a distance, unable to do anything else.

    If you had the guts to confront me face-to-face, I might have considered you a man… throwing a photo in my shoe locker?

    That’s hilarious.

    Which circus did you escape from, clown?

    ‘If you like someone, go after them. Being a stalker is truly unbearable.’

    Asakura Yuu’s threshold for human disgustingness was forced to rise again.

    People can be that vicious, can they?

    What bothered him even more was the point of sending the photo, to inform him that he was always lurking around Ayu?

    …Wait.

    Asakura Yuu quickly changed his shoes and headed to the first-year classroom.

    Seeing Isshiki Iroha chatting with friends through the window, he let out a sigh of relief.

    This pervert apparently didn’t have the guts to push the boundaries of crime.

    If the guy had been lurking at his junior’s doorstep that morning, Asakura Yuu didn’t know what could have happened.

    You can’t understand a pervert’s mind, just like an ordinary person can’t grasp a psychotic’s thought process.

    …………

    After school.

    Inside the Service Club.

    Asakura Yuu lifted his left hand and took a sip from the teacup.

    Ever since that argument with Yukino, things have been a little awkward between them.

    Whose fault was it, really?

    Was it Yukino Yukinoshita, for butting into other people’s relationships, or was it Asakura Yuu’s fault for not keeping his cool?

    Probably a bit of both.

    “Hey, did I do anything to offend you lately, President?”

    “No.” Yukino put down her paperback, looking puzzled. “Why do you ask?”

    “…Didn’t we have a fight the other day?”

    Asakura Yuu felt a little embarrassed, being a guy and dwelling on a small thing from a few days ago.

    “You think the reason I haven’t been talking to you much these past few days is because of that?” Yukino tilted her head to look at him, a hint of a smile on her delicate face.

    “No?”

    “I’m reflecting.” Yukino rested her right hand on her temple, thinking aloud. “Why did I assume I knew most of what you were thinking, and then presumptuously consider your future from your perspective? Don’t you think that’s strange?”

    “So you really were mad, President.”

    Isn’t this just sulking?

    “No, I wasn’t.”

    “Really?”

    Yukino’s expression froze for a few seconds after hearing that, and her cute look was captivating.

    She snapped back to reality and looked at Asakura Yuu, her tone relaxed:

    “…It seems there’s not much difference between us, we make similar mistakes.”

    I wasn’t even angry, but you just assumed I was.

    Why is that?

    In the end, it’s still a lack of understanding, isn’t it, Member Asakura?

    But it’s okay, as long as I keep getting closer to your heart.

    I’ll set foot in that forest within you someday.

    “So, have you figured out the answer to your question?”

    Asakura Yuu was very curious about the question she’d asked earlier.

    “I’m not satisfied, your words back then made me so angry, do you know why?” Yukino spoke, as if her words had nothing to do with the question. “In your words, I’m just your president. When I hear that, my heart aches. You probably don’t understand, do you?”

    “…”

    “After 3 months of contact, I felt like I’d touched your heart, and I thought we were close to completing the task we’d set… But your words were like a needle, piercing countless holes in my heart, telling me that I was overthinking things.”

    Yukino stood up as she spoke, and the sunlight from the window shone on her, as if she had an Angel’s halo.

    The holy Angel looked straight at his eyes and chuckled softly:

    “Member Asakura, there are many things about you that I dislike.

    I hate your unserious side, I hate how you’re better than me, and I hate your indecisiveness.”

    Likewise, I hate the part of myself that envies you, hates not putting in effort and instead lets others freely express their opinions, and hates the fact that I’ve developed feelings for you to the point of being self-indulgent.

    “Please tell me…”

    Angel-sama spoke in a gentle tone: “In your heart, are we just ordinary friends, not something more intimate? I was probably hurt back then because I didn’t want to accept that, I didn’t want to maintain a normal friendship with you, I yearned to take another step forward.”

    “…Minister, are you confessing to me?” Asakura Yuu couldn’t help but get a little carried away.

    “Ah, looks like we’re not just ordinary friends.”

    Yukino Yukinoshita sat back in her chair with a satisfied expression.

    Mission accomplished.

    “Hm?”

    Yukino let out a yawn: “Figure it out yourself.”

    “Eh?”

    What’s going on?

    Completely can’t understand.

    Asakura Yuu thought for a few seconds, then asked skeptically: “Minister, are you still hung up on something that happened 2 months ago? No way, right?”

    You said all that just to see my reaction, to prove that we’re not just ordinary friends, to prove that you’re not inferior to Yumiko?

    There was a long silence.

    Yukino covered her face with a book…

    “Yeah, what’s wrong with that?.. I don’t want to lose to that gorilla.” Yukino’s face turned red, and her eyes, half-hidden behind the book, looked at him: “If you start dating her, wouldn’t that mean I’ve lost?”

    Don’t show me that cute expression in the middle of a discussion, my heart is racing.

    If I accidentally fall in love with you, I’ll have to marry you and make you have 3 kids in the future, so think carefully.

    “So, Minister, how about we try dating? If it’s you, I think it’s okay.”

    Asakura Yuu’s expression was serious.

    But Yukino knew he was joking…

    “If I really agreed, would you be willing?”

    Asakura Yuu scratched his head, looking embarrassed: “I don’t know what to say.”

    “Then why ask?”

    Angel-sama gave him a cold look: “If Miura-san and I fell into the water together, who would you save?”

    “…Again?”

    “What’s your answer?”

    “T-together…save?” Asakura Yuu didn’t know who to choose either.

    Yukino heard his response and couldn’t help but giggle a few times.

    “What’s wrong?”

    Yukino Yukinoshita stifled her laughter: “Nothing, it’s just the first time I’ve seen you look so troubled.”

    The last time she asked this question, he was very confident.

    It seems…

    ‘You’re not far from falling in love with me, are you?’
