Chapter 4 (1/2)

Sekigae Bishoujo Ni h.o.r.erareta – Chapter 4

Hola

Way Back

After the cla.s.ses were over, during the after school period, Yuki went out of his cla.s.sroom by himself and towards the library room.

He took out a book from his bag, and returned it to the reception counter. It was the book he read that morning, when he was found out by Yui.

Unfortunately he made eye contact with a nearby female teacher,

「Ah! How was it?」

「Well, it was difficult.」

「Fufu, I see.」

For some reason she laughed while grinning.

Obviously I won't say something like ”It was boring because I wasn't able to understand it.”

I don't know why but she seems to favor me a little. Like she always talks to me when I try to borrow some books.

Because I didn't want to be recommended a weird book again, I went out the library quickly and towards the entrance.

「Are? It's Narito-kun」

When I was about to get my shoes from the shoe box at the entrance, I was suddenly called out from the side.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Yui with her hand up as she approached me.

「Are you going home now?」1

「That's right.」

Yui smiled a little, pa.s.sed behind me, and then she started to change her shoes.

Yuki, who had changed his shoes earlier, he went past Yui and towards the entrance.

The weather has been bad since morning, and even then it looked like it was about to rain any time.

While he was looking at the sky,

「Ahh~ I knew It~ It looks like it's about to rain soon~」

After catching up to Yuki, Yui stood besides him and said so.

Because he was not expecting her to talk to him again, he was surprised and just stood there, looking at Yui.

「Do you just walk Narito-kun? In what area is your house?」

「Around the end of Nakamachi street.」

Yuki usually walks from home to school.

He was using a bike before, but he crashed it when he went to school while sleepy, and since then he just walks to school.

That said, it's not like his home is far from here. The reason he chose this school was because it was the nearest to his home. Even by walking, it's only about 30 minutes away.

「Hee~ Is that so. As for me, I am going to the train station, so why don't we go together until midway?」

Yuki doubted his ears after hearing Yui's suggestion.

Because she is called a ”seatmate killer”, he understand why she talks to him in the cla.s.sroom, but going home together is different because there are no ”seatmates” when going home.

If they were to meet by chance midway that would be understandable, but not if she suggests going home together from the start.

That said, there was no reason for him to refuse, so they went home as suggested.

「It's so weird that we're going home together when we haven't talked to each other until this morning.」2

While walking on the road just outside the school gate, as usual, Yui was just smiling.

When they reached an area that is devoid of their cla.s.smates, or people wearing the same uniform as them, Yui stopped being conscious of other people's eyes.

Yuki said ”That's right.” and after that kept silent.

Yui may have thought that Yuki was silent because it was his first time going home together with a girl, but actually Yuki is a silent person in general.

Maybe feeling that the silence was killing her, Yui started to stare at Yuki's face, and then,

「Nee Nee~ Say something~」

「Something like what?」

「I don't care what is it, as long as it's funny.」

What is this unreasonable request.

”I am not a comedian.” Is what Yuki wanted to complain to Yui, but he gave up and decided to talk about normal things, like a normal person should.

「Let's see, it's about the book that I was reading today.」

「Un un」

「I just thought that this super human named Rusanchiman3 looks like Kinniku-man4」

「Sorry, I couldn't understand a speck on what you've just said.」5

Even though you're the one who said I can talk about anything.

Well, they say that even the professional can't make a funny story upfront, so I don't think you can ask an amateur, not to mention a normal person to do such a thing.

”This is great” said Yuki in his mind while basking in his very own satisfaction, but ignoring that, Yui started to talk about something.

「You know, I usually ride my bike, but I walk when it's raining. Also, isn't Nakamachi street far? Oh by the way, Narito-kun, do you have an umbrella? Is it a foldable one?」6

「I forgot to bring it today. Well, if it will rain, I'll just leave it to the future me who's going to be in the rain. At worst I would just get wet.」

There's also the option to buy an umbrella from the convenience store on the way, but I don't want to waste my money on such things.

Yui held her umbrella like a bamboo sword, then said,

「Fuuun~ If it rains, do you want to share?」7

She leaned over as if she was teasing while staring at Yuki.
