Uehara Tasuku
“Fwah…”
I couldn’t help yawning for the upteen time I usually walk or ride a bicycle for this stretch of road, but I took a bus today There wasn’t anyone I know on the bus, and there was plenty of ehed after closing my eyes
I wasn’t sleeping enough recently, which recking havoc ontierous All of this was…
Amano’s fault
Negative emotions that seemed sort of similar to the ones I felt towards hia… No, I need to aa I was the type ould restrain myself in ter neared its end, I couldn’t help pulling an all nighter to finish it off
However, the reason why I didn’t get enough sleep was different this tiame recommended by Amano, but because of Amano himself… In other words…
Just what did Aether after school was out yesterday ahhhh!
I couldn’t help holding ain
Basically, Aht!? No, or did they knew each other much earlier?
Aguri used to be a plain girl, and Amano seeht know each other But, were they from the same middle school?
B-But usually, they will o Since they never mentioned it, they probably don’t know each other… No, thinking about it frole, are their relationshi+p so deep that they can’t be open about it!?
The difficult question that would even stule sensei ure it out no matter how much I think about it, but that hy I couldn’t help thinking
The easiest ould be asking one of them… But, that was really scary
The reason was, after I parted with Hoshi+no school to kill the time I suddenly had…
And I saw it
I saw A out happily in a cafe!
The couple chatting cheerfully were people I knew, A to a cafe together with a girl was already a sign of the apocalypse! And he just have to be with Aguri
To be honest, I really thought that the world was about to end For eous that scene was… And made me speculate
Nores or LINE to report to e’s content rossed over the fact about her outing with Amano
And so, I couldn’t ask Aguri about it either… In the end, that incident yesterday kept replaying in my mind
The route to my school flashes past the ill reach school soon To cal my schoolmates, I told myself:
I-It’s fine Auri would definitely not NTR me Even if they have contacts, it would revolve aroundthings and then approached Aguri Speaking of which, he was acting weird yesterday…
That’s right that’s right, what a logical deduction This was definitely it……
No, wait Souri seemed similar at their cores? Did the two of theuri I like is so frivolous, she won’t be interested in Amano
When I thought this far, I felt electricity flowing down my spine
Wait… Aguri fell for the past ht? The past ames happily… I was really similar to Amano back then!
When I realized it, the bus already stopped at ot down and drifted towards the campus like a spirit
… N-No no no, that was impossible…
”He? Tasuku?”
”!”
A familiar voice caeratedly
The one before uri herself who looked surprised
Before I could react, she rushed to my side with a happy smile
“Wah～～ how rare for !”
“T-T-That’s right M-Morning, Aguri”
“Yes, ~~ Tasuku Fufufu~~”
Aguri said as she walked beside me I wanted to walk naturally just like usual… But ely stiff H-How do I usually walk?
As Aguri grew suspicious, I threw out a topic hurriedly:
“O-Oh right, what did you do yesterday, Aguri?”
“Huh?”
Ah
I asked before thinking, but in retrospect, that was a landmine An absolutely disastrous choice! It’s not like I was Auri seemed a little shaken, and averted her eyes quietly
“Er tea with my friend, s-sorry, Tasuku”
“Ah, r-right You e…”
“R-Right…”
”……”
What ith her strange reaction! The doubts inout! The truth was, Auri, but it wasn’t clear if they had prepared their testiuri only told me she went for tea with her friend, but refuse to say that friend was Amano… What the hell, I feel so conflicted!
W-W-What’s going on!? So it’s really… What I think it is!?
Infor A shape
Eh, Auy… His looks were fine too… And he seemed to be the faithful kind… even the famous Tendo fell for him, an unexpectedly manly character… Wait
Strange! Is Aood? No… That’s not true right?
I didn’t knohat’s happening anymore
After we reached the school gate, we changed into indoor shoes, then walked towards the second year classroouri suddenly said to me with a rare tense expression:
“Tasuku, hat did you do after school… yesterday?”
“Huh? M-Me?”
The question was too sudden, which made my heart waver I still recalled what happened yesterday, and reported honestly:
“Well… I chatted with Hoshi+nomori and Amano… Ah, then Amano left first…”
“Ahem, a-after that…?”
“After that… Oh right, I don’t think you know her, the Hoshi+noirl from Class A”
“I-Is that so… W-What kind of girl is she?”
Aguri was interested in Hoshi+nomori for some reason… I could understand if she wants to talk about Tendo or Amano… but she wants to learn about Hoshi+noe
“What kind of girl… Well, looks gloo any friends…”
“O-Oh… Is that so…”
Aguri suddenly flicked her hair, and she looked a little s…?
“Ah, but after actually talking to her, she is actually a nice person, and is interesting to talk about gaem, the type that loses to others because she doesn't dress up”
“ I see~~ Ahah… hah…”
Aguri becaain for some reason Was she jealous? Eh, that was unlikely After all, she even said I was coirl as frivolous about love I ht be her boyfriend, but she wouldn’t be that dedicated to me…
“? Hmm? Tasuku, why are you depressed?”
“No… I’m not”
I averted irlfriend didn’t care about uri looked really cute recently
”……”
Our conversation ended abruptly… After being with Aguri for half a year, this was the first time this happened
Could it be… This was…
T-The signs of an eminent breakup!?
I eating bullets in my heart I often heard others speak of such a situation A couple didn’t have anything they dislike about each other, but their relationshi+p still felt uneasy, and they break up in the end Was this it? So like love burnout period?
With an incredibly tense heart, we ca to the Second Years’ classrooms
── The next irl talked to me
“Er… E-Erm, Uehara-san!”
”Huh?”
The feirl that was a sight for sore eyes
She had an innocent looking face, exceptional figure and she her uniform was put on in a sloppy but fashi+onable htly curly hair was enchanting─ Hold on
“Huh, could you be… H-Hoshi+nomori?”
Nods furiously! “Y-Yes”
The sunny beauty smiled amiably… H-Hey hey
I did say that cutting her hair shorter would suit her better, and also told her she didn’t need to wear her unifore…
To be honest, I was scratching my face a little troubledly Both male and female school of freshness, she was as prouri was stupefied too
Hoshi+noaze and lowered her head quietly… Ah, she , but she was still Hoshi+nomori on the inside
“Ehh… s-sorry”
”Huh? Why are you apologizing?”
“E-Er my style like this is a little too reckless… It ave yesterday… B-But, I just want to give it a try…”
“I-I see…”
Yup, that was totally Hoshi+nomori on the inside Her self-esteem was too low, just like Amano I couldn’t stand it,the two of them had similar experiences and had si better? If they just made a compromise about ‘MOE’, they would really be a one true pair── hold on
If Aether like this
Would Aguri’s heart return to ht about this The hell was I thinking? That’s too scuht? Really, then what about Tendo? Seeing her like this, I hope she ends up with Amano too… Eh, no no, why should I worry which heroine Aht!?
I didn’t get ita cold, probably froitated I couldn’t stand it…
── At this lanced towards my face, and then shuffled towards her class as if she was in a trance… Strange
I wanted to call out to Aguri, but Hoshi+nouri, and continued talking to me
”Neh neh…Uehara-san Is it fine… for e my style like this? W-Well, aside froer sister asked me ‘ho are you?’”
In the end, Hoshi+noood or bad Was there even a need to say this? I couldn’t stand it, just hoas these people’s self esteem…?
“Well, there isn’t any problems, it suits you very well, Hoshi+noreat Amano won’t call you seaweed head anymore”
“I-Is that so? Hehe… T-Thank you!”
Seeing the bashful smile of the more confident Hoshi+nomori… looks like she will be popular
── As ere chatting about various things, Aradually froe A, Uehara-san～～” … But he didn’t stop at all and headed towards Class F
When Ah at Hoshi+nomori:
“Dry seaweed”
”What──!”
Using the chance while Hoshi+no mad, Amano dashed into the classroom J-Just how much does he hate Hoshi+nomori!?
Hoshi+no another class in thely
“W-What is rong with him! Uehara-san, why are you friends with Keita!?”
“Huh? Why are we friends… B-Because he lend ames?”
“What a superficial friendshi+p!”
Hoshi+nomori complained to , she bowed to me and hurried towards Class A
I entered the classroo in a daze as I went to my seat
But… Didn’t Hoshi+nonized her before co to tease her
Hoshi+noed her style was so different that even her fanize her But Amano still treated her the same way, as expected of Amano──
I thought while harbouring this strange sense of respect
In the end, uri and Amano
“Y-You are ames?”
“Y-Y-Yes”
Hoshi+nomori lowered her head shyly as she sat on a bench inside a park near the school, while sipping on tea flavoured soya drink through a straw
I watched her fro?
It had been a week since Hoshi+noed her style, and I realized that I was like a consultant to her
Well, in the beginning, I just thought of it as an after sales service after she changed her looks drastically, and it would just be discussing with Hoshi+nomori what sort of fashi+onable accessories would fit her style But the content of our dialogue gradually shi+fted to her worries and co)
On the other hand, Aguri didn’t spend much time with me, and I suddenly had free ti Hoshi+no for her bus
A ent by just like that, until today
Hoshi+noames, and the content of our discussion finally went beyond the reale
“That’s why, e-erames…”
”Ah～～……”
Well, I was happy that so this with ht? After I finished the 200ml ‘tri-arrow’ brand soda, I slammed the can to the side and said:
“I-I want to tell you, Hoshi+nomori”
“Y-Yes, what is it, Uehara-san!?”
Hoshi+norown really intimate with me before I realized it
I backed off a little and told her:
“If you want to discuss about ga, you should know someone who is more suitable than me─”
”… Pui!”
“Is it so repulsive that you had to spit with an abhorrent face that coe!?”
Well, Hoshi+noness to me very clearly
I couldn’t help sighing
“Hey, you two can definitely get along better, right? Why are you so stubborn about this?”
When Hoshi+noe in her hand and said:
“This isn’t being stubborn, it’s a proble on one’s pride”
“Yes, that is exactly what being stubborn means”
“I-I-I don’t care about Keita at all I don’t feel anything about hiet involved with him I hope he will transfer schools to an alternate world”
“Such a development would probably make him happy”
“B-But, Uehara-san… Do you kno far he had progressed with ‘Aegis VIII’? I-I’m just curious…”
“You are super concerned about him!”
“I-I-I aaather all the rare weapons, arantly!”
“That’s why I said you are super concerned about him! Hoshi+noames!”
When I pressed her, Hoshi+no irrational, so she took out her phone and pretended to answer to an incoe… Basically, she didn’t have friends that would send her ht… I leaned in and peered, and found Hoshi+noe, this game was…
”Amano also play this……”
”What～～?”
”Ah, no, it’s nothing”
Hoshi+nomori turned to me with an annoyed look, so I pretended to be retarded As she fiddled with her games, I peeked at it… And so──
Ah, as expected, that’s the ga Just how compatible are the two of you
It was to the extent that they should just getas stupid as ‘Moe’? God was cruel… No, these tere just too retarded
As I blankly watch Hoshi+noame, I realized Amano received the help request Auy called ‘Tsucchan’ Hmm? I saw this player’s name somewhere before…
My brain see Hoshi+nomori play She seee, I saw Hoshi+nomori’s player name
She is ‘MONO’ huh… Oh~~ ‘MONO’ huh ‘MONO’?
