Chapter 106: Yukos Return (2/2)

”Let's go. Come with me.”

Having both of them meet each other? As a boyfriend, I'm probably the worst but nothing will be resolved if she stays cooped up in here. They're both tied to me, that wouldn't change so there's no need for us to hold back. I'll never neglect any of them. If I can bring the other four here then I will.

It might sound despicable coming from me but yeah, if I was made to choose only one, I'll break the rule and still choose all of them.

That's how I am.

After a while, we exited Yumiko's room with both of us already in our school uniform.

Upon arriving at the Principal's Office, the Principal was as expected, already there. The stacks of papers in his table were already double than what I saw a few days ago.

3 hours later, the portal appeared from the middle of the room and Yuko came out of it.

As soon as she stepped out of the portal, her feet continued to take her towards my direction.

”Dai-kun!”

She jumped into my arms and instantly wrapped her arms around me.

”Welcome back, Yuko.”

I greeted her and likewise, circled my arms around her. It's almost a month and she's still like this whenever she's with me. I immediately checked if there were wounds or injuries. Seeing there were none, I felt relieved.

”Welcome back, Yuko”

Yumiko, who had a complicated expression on her, also greeted her when their gazes met.

”What's with that face, Yumiko? Are you worried that I will be angry at you?”

Ah. Right. This girl has her Foresight. She could predict what will happen in her near future. She probably predicted that Yumiko and I will tell her about us and Yumiko will act like that so she beat us to it.

”Did you use your…?”

I whispered to her and that made her turn her head to me. She then nodded and smiled.

Like I thought, she'll accept her without question again. This girl...

”Ah no… I just don't know how to face you. As you might have already guessed, I also…”

Yumiko's voice trailed as her gaze turned to me, without saying it, she told Yuko what happened.

”I knew you'd be like me, Yumiko. Even before you went with him.”

Yuko said as she released herself from clinging onto me. She's referring to that vision she saw. Yumiko was probably in it.

The Principal revealed about her being a reincarnator, however, looking at her now, I don't see any trace of it. That memory was also sealed, eh?

In any case, I have to make it up to her.

”Alright. You three can go for now, Yuko-chan, you can make your report tomorrow.”

The Principal interjected after being ignored for so long. After coming out of the portal, Yuko immediately jumped into me and we all forgot that he was there.

”Yes, father.”

Hearing that, Yuko led us out of the room and made her room to be our destination, along with Yumiko who's still a bit disoriented at how she should act.

”Dai-kun. You're also making the same face as Yumiko. Are you thinking I'm pushing myself to accept this?”

On our way, Yuko walked to my side and asked me.

”Am I doing that? I'm kind of feeling guilty when you're this accepting when most girls will immediately leave knowing this situation.”

When Yuko heard my answer, she stopped walking and that made me turn to face her.

”Hey, Dai-kun. What do you think of me?”

”I love you. No one can replace you.”

Even without that forced engagement, I still think this is where we will end up. Yuko is someone special to me.

”Then isn't that enough? I know that even if there's Yumiko now, you won't be neglecting any of us. Some might think of me as naive but I just have this kind of deep trust towards you that even I couldn't explain well.”

Should I attribute this to the convergence of destinies again? Or is it some kind of influence from her sealed memories? In any case, Yuko really doesn't have any problems with me taking in Yumiko.

Yuko then turned to Yumiko who also stopped walking and was watching us a few steps ahead.

”Also Yumiko, you also love him, right? Then we're not just friends now, we're sisters.”

”Uhm. Is it really fine?”

While still having that complicated expression, Yumiko asked.

”Did you get infected by his overthinker trait? Like I told you, even before you went with him to your Otherworld, I already knew you'll end up like that and that didn't bother me. Our fates were all tied up to him.”

Fates and destinies. Right. Yuko talked about Zerina's fate being tied to me back then. Even back then she never expressed any dissatisfaction about it.

I'm gonna tell her all my experience in the World of Spirits anyway so if I mentioned the destiny the Spirit Queen told us, she'll probably be ecstatic about it.

After hearing what Yuko said, her face finally brightened. Nodding to herself for a while, she then looked up and alternated her gaze between us.

”I see. Then Yuko, thank you for understanding. And… I'll give you two some time. I already got my fill these past few days. Daisuke, take care of her, okay?”

Leaving these words, Yumiko scurried away from us which earned a few giggles from Yuko.

”She's also trying to be considerate of me, I don't know Yumiko can be that silly.”

Yuko commented as we both watched her enter the girl's dormitory. That girl was probably embarrassed that in the end, it was Yuko who comforted her.

Haa. I'll go see her later but first, I will not waste the time she gave us.
