In just that short as had stirred within her heart
Like, Sachiko-sa here just so she could talk to me
The talk's going to be about returning the rosary
No, she's going to confess that it's all been a trick played by the drama club member Touko-chan
As if it's going to be such a convenient explanation
”Yumi”
Sachiko-sahtened Yu her nath left Yumi's body and she melted
Her beloved onee-saed one bit
”Onee-sama”

Just then
A student eed from the main entrance and made her way to Yumi's side
”Sachiko onee-sa”
It was Touko-chan

”… So that's how it is, then?”
Yumi's melted heart froze in an instant Sachiko-sa here for her Yu for Touko-chan
Staying would be too miserable, so Yumi turned her back
”Wait, Yumi-sama”
Surprisingly it was Touko-chan who called her to stop
”You were still in the ht? We're in a bit of a hurry, so we can't just stand around chatting though Why don't you continue your conversation as alk?”
”Huh?”
While Yumi was still surprised, Touko-chan turned to Sachiko-sama and almost pleaded
”Please, Rosa Chinensis, why don't we do that?”
” - You're right Yuether?”
Sachiko-sama had made the offer, but Yumi rejected it
”No”
Horetched, to have to intrude on this haro home
Yuirl was planning, and if it was just spite or not, but she hated Touko-chan's amiable expression and resented the way Sachiko-sa hat she said
”That's enough already”
Yus as they were
”Ah, Yumi-sama!?”
Touko-chan's voice chased her from behind And yet, Sachiko-sama's voice did not come

But when it caainst her side, and her umbrella turned inside out, like she was in a comedy
Continuing to look unsightly, she recklessly raced past the library, flew past Maria-sako trees until her legs finally stopped when she ithin sight of the front gate
Because there was soroup of university students about ten metres in front of her
Mixed ahtly colored umbrella was a black, men's umbrella
Even from this distance and from behind Yumi knew It was the back of someone she trusted, who had helped her out countless times
”… Sei-sama”
Despite hoeakly she called out, the black umbrella slowly turned around
The pink floral umbrella, yellow polka-dot umbrella and navy blue checked uate as though they didn't notice that the black umbrella had stopped
”What's the matter, Yumi-chan!?”
Sei-sama called out Most people would be surprised to see one of their juniors soaked to the bone despite holding an umbrella
”Sei-samaaa”
Yuht at Sei-sama's chest
”What on earth happened?”
Yu, and while this had rattled Sei-sama, she wasn't in a position to cal But earlier, Sei-sahts had grown so painful that she could no longer carry them by herself, and she wanted to tell them to someone
”Ahh, there, there”
Sei-saently rubbed Yu her stay like that, without thinking To surrender herself to a higher power and let her exhausted body rest
Eventually Sei-sa, and she muttered

”Sorry for troubling you with her”
Those words seemed to be directed at Sei-sahtly

”Is this okay? Sachiko's going, you know”
”It's fine”
Yumi quietly raised her head - And saw that Sei-sa another umbrella in addition to her open black one

The strengthening rain masked both her voice and her appearance
Eventually the car Sachiko-saht of it
The driving rain was pulling them apart
”Onee-sama…”
Even when she cried out, the sound of the rain nullified it Even when she chased, the rain obscured her, ure invisible
The rain fell
