I arrived at the designated place, but no one was there.
I figured the other person’s homeroom probably hadn’t ended yet, so I decided to wait for a while.
After a few minutes of waiting, I heard a voice from behind me.
“Excuse me, did I keep you waiting?” (?)
I turned around at the sound of a girl’s voice, and there stood a cute girl.
She was slightly taller than Yuuka and gave off a small, animal-like vibe overall.
“I just got here too, so it’s fine. So, getting straight to the point—why did you call me out here?” (Yuuto)
I asked why I had been summoned.
“Yuuka-chan, wait! You haven’t even heard anything yet, don’t jump on her!” (Kaori)
Kaori-chan’s voice came from behind me.
“She’s trying to steal Yuuto from me.” (Yuuka)
With that, Yuuka pounced onto my back.
She climbed up and peeked her face over my head.
“So, you’re the one trying to steal Yuuto from me.” (Yuuka)
I couldn’t see her face, but I was pretty sure the highlights in her eyes had vanished.
The other girl let out a squeak and started trembling in fear.
“I-I wasn’t trying to steal your boyfriend, Yuuka-san. I just had something I wanted to talk to him about, so I put a letter in his shoe locker…” (Girl)
She answered while trembling all over.
Then Yuuka climbed down from my back and began questioning the girl.
“Then, it’s fine if I’m here while you talk to Yuuto, right? Go ahead.” (Yuuka)
Yuuka looked the girl straight in the eyes as she spoke.
“Yes, it’s fine. I just have a question…” (Girl)
The girl took a deep breath, as if bracing herself.
“How do you manage to flirt in public without caring about other people watching?” (Girl)
I couldn’t understand what she meant at first.
“Sorry, could you say that one more time?” (Yuuto)
I asked her again.
“I wanted to know how you two are able to flirt without worrying about people around you. I have a boyfriend, but I can’t seem to be affectionate with him at all. But when I see you two being all lovey-dovey without caring who’s watching, I get so jealous…” (Girl)
She started speaking rapidly, almost in a flurry of emotion.
Yuuka, having heard all that, approached her and whispered something into her ear.
The girl listened intently, occasionally reacting, but she stayed focused and took it seriously.
After they were done talking…
“I understand. I’ll try my best using your advice, Yuuka-chan.” (Girl)
With that, she gave a deep bow and walked off somewhere.
“With this, peace has been preserved.” (Yuuka)
Yuuka said as she climbed onto my back, wrapped her legs around my neck, and ended up in a shoulder ride position.
“By the way, what kind of advice did you give her?” (Yuuto)
“That’s a secret. Girls are full of secrets, you know.” (Yuuka)
Yuuka said that and rested her chest on top of my head.
Well, since the problem was resolved, I figured it was fine, and I carried Yuuka on my shoulders as we walked home.
Then, a few days later, I saw that same girl who had come for advice walking down the hallway arm-in-arm with who I assumed was her boyfriend, looking happy together.
Thinking it had gone well, I told Yuuka what I had seen.
“That’s great. Flirting is a girl’s source of energy.” (Yuuka)
She said something completely incomprehensible.
TL Notes:
Thanks for reading!
I mean, she should have approached Yuuka for that, but she’s kinda shy so I guess I can see why.
