Chapter 12 Yuuri’s Thoughts

October 18th (Tuesday) 16:35


The season is mid-October.

Today, as the color of autumn deepens, the school festival season is upon us at Aihabara Private High School.

Each class is preparing for the performances they will exhibit at the school festival, and the hallways and empty classrooms are filled with the props and equipment they will use. The whole school was full of energy.

The same is true for Class 2 and 3, and preparations are currently underway for a Western-style cafe to be held as a class event. All the students had smiles on their faces, showing that they were enjoying this once-a-year extraordinary experience.


However, there was a girl with an aura that didn't suit this atmosphere, sitting at the edge of the classroom as if she was nowhere to be found. In order to secure a place for the preparation work, everyone's seats were grouped together at the back of the classroom, so they were probably sitting together in a place like this, but what was strange was the somber look on their faces. With her long hair hanging down, she looked down as she sat on the step of the podium, looking as if she might disappear at any moment.

"Nanase-san! Nanase-san!!"

"……eh?"

Ther girl...Yuuri Nanase finally looked up after being called out to by her classmates. Her beautiful face looked very haggard. You can tell from the dark circles under her eyes that she hasn't slept much.

"Are you okay? If you're not feeling well, you should go to the nurse's office."

"...It's okay. I'm sorry for worrying you."

"...Really? It's fine if it's okay, but please don't push yourself too hard, okay?"

"I'm really fine. My body is perfectly healthy. Besides that, is there anything else you need from me?"

"Ah, that's right. Can I have the ballot papers for the stall menu? Also, since Nanase-san is the only one haven’t yet submit it, I wanted to collect them."

"Ah...I-I'm sorry."

The person who spoke to Yuuri was the class-rep of this class. She is a good-looking girl with glasses and pigtails who is as smart as Yuuri. Even when Yuuri had forgotten to submit her work, she treated her without a single unpleasant look, which made Yuuri even more apologetic.

Yuuri randomly fills out a voting form to decide on the menu to be exhibited at the coffee shop and hands it to the committee chairperson.

The chairman took her form, put it in her pocket, and looked into Yuuri's face.

"Isn't it rare for Nanase-san to be careless like this? Are you in a bad mood after all? Or are you worried about Fujizono-san?"

“……………………”

Hearing her name, Yuuri's shoulders trembled a little. That is the name of the person who currently occupies a large part of Yuuri's mind.

"It's been about 10 days since she took a break, right? It seems like her cold has been lingering for quite some time...but it's not like she has any serious illness, right?"

"...Yeah, that's what I heard. But I'm a little worried that it's been going this long."

"It's about your best friend, so that's true... Cheer up, Nanase-san. Not only me, but everyone in the class is worried not only about Fujizono-san, but Nanase-san as well. I hope you'll have as much fun as possible at this school festival."

"...Yes. Thank you for your concern. I can't stay like this forever either. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hmm...I don't want you to push yourself too hard, but...Ah, that's right. It seems like the costume department is a little short on staff, so could I ask you to help?"

"Okay. Leave it to me, I'm good at sewing."

"Ahaha, I can really rely on you. Well, I'm sorry, but please!! I have another meeting!! Hmm, I wish Mr. Fujizono, whose family home is a coffee shop, would have been here at a time like this."

After saying that, the class-rep waved her hand and left the place. She felt in awe by her dedication to her work. Yuuri also waved her hand and headed towards her seat.

The team in charge of making costumes for the waitresses at the store must be working in a rented clothing room.

It's already after school, but during this school festival season, students are allowed to do some work even after school.

Yuuri collects her bag from her seat and heads directly to the sewing room. However, her steps inevitably become heavier. It was because of the girl whose name came up in the conversation with the committee chairman earlier.

"......Kisara"

Yuuri whispered her best friend's name. Kisara has been absent from school for about 10 days.

She said it was caused by a cold, but Yuuri didn't believe that. She is unable to receive email or phone calls, and even when she visits her home in person, her parents turn her away, saying they must not infect her. It was clearly a strange situation.

Moreover, from the embarrassed looks on Kisara's parents' faces at that time and the fact that Kisara's shoes were not there in the entrance that she could just peek into, Yuuri concludes that Kisara is not at her home.

But Yuuri has no idea where she is. She thinks that this situation could have become important to her, but it hasn't happened because Kisara's parents don't take action against her, and Kisara's friends from the tennis club are in frequent contact with her. 

If that happens, they will know where Kisara is. Even though she doesn't know what she is.


"It's my fault after all..."

Yuuri muttered to herself in the empty hallway. It was something she had been ruminating on in her head lately. Everyone around her knows Kisara's whereabouts, but Yuuri, who was her best friend, doesn't know about her, so it's highly likely that it is out of Kisara's will. In that case, I couldn't believe that the incident from the other day was unrelated.

About two weeks ago, Yuuri tried to leave on her own because of the relationship between Asami and Kisara. She, no, she said she tried to withdraw, which makes it sound like she was doing it for the sake of her best friends, but in reality, it wasn't just because she didn't want to get in their way.

(Actually, I just didn't want to see them having feelings for each other...)

Yuuri laughed to herself in her heart.

Yuuri started liking Asami all of a sudden. Ever since they met, she had felt very comfortable spending time with him. Even when she was feeling anxious about the reality of her situation, talking to him strangely made her feel better.

That didn't change even after Kisara joined, but after a certain point, Kisara started acting in a way that made it obvious that she was in love with Asami. And Asami had a less-than-satisfying reaction to that as well.

After that, Yuuri suddenly started to fear spending time with them. Due to her past experiences, Yuuri has become extremely afraid of being rejected and betrayed by those close to her.

She didn't think Asami and Kisara would do something like that, but she still knew that if they were to date, there would be a gap between her and them. There may be times when she feels that her presence is a nuisance.

For Yuuri, just imagining it was an unbearable pain. The people she loves deny her existence... that's what scares her more than anything.

Besides, she didn't want to see the boy she liked dating another girl up close, and she didn't want to feel that kind of ugly jealousy towards her best friend.

So, if she's going to feel that way, it's better for her to leave him while she's still hurt... Her actions with Yuuri the other day were based on that idea.

However, her actions may have hurt Kisara.

There was a time in the past when Kisara didn't go to school and was a shut-in. If her selfish actions had brought her back to the way she was then... Just thinking about it made Yuuri feel overwhelmed by her remorse.

While she was thinking about Kisara as she moved, Yuuri ended up in front of the sewing room. She certainly couldn't stay blank forever. She decides to focus on making her costume for now.

Yuuri opened the door to her sewing room and called out to her classmates.

October 18th (Tuesday) 19:37



"Oh, no. I have to go home soon. Curfew is approaching."

"Eh, you're lying!! It's already that long!? If you don't go home early, I'll miss the drama!!!"

Two female students who were making costumes in the clothing room looked at the clock and called out. Yuuri also temporarily stops her work. Yuuri didn't even notice the passage of time because she was concentrating not to think about anything unnecessary. There are currently three students remaining in the room, including Yuuri.

"Ah, I finished this costume in a little while. But I also have to return the key, so I guess that's all for today."

"I can't help it. Nanase-san, thank you for all your help."

Although they were allowed to work until 8:30 pm, the two girls, who seemed to have their own reasons, began preparing to clean up. Yuuri tries to follow suit, but... she becomes curious about what one of her students said earlier.

"Um...if you don't mind, I can finish that costume for you? There's still time before my curfew."

Yuuri suggested this to the two. Since she hadn't been able to take much part in the preparations for the school festival, and as a member of the class, she would have lost her face if he hadn't done as much as they did. And she didn't have to think too much while  working, and she doesn't really want to go home for personal reasons.

At first, the two of them were hesitant when they received the proposal, thinking it was a bad idea, but when Yuuri said that time would pass while they were doing this, they relented and apologetically handed over the key.

"Okay, I'm sorry, but can I ask you a favor? Please return the key to the staff room."

"Sorry for personal reasons I’ll need to go. I'll buy you something next time."

"I'm the one who's being selfish, so it doesn't matter. Besides, I wasn't working at all this time, so I'm actually grateful."

Yuuri smiled back at the two female students who apologized to her as they left, and closed the door to the sewing room. Silence reigns in the room. Even in the frighteningly quiet room, Yuuri picked up the costume and resumed her work. She was used to this kind of silence. Even at her home, her father only came home once in a while, so it was common for her to eat alone. Sometimes when he comes home, it's very noisy, so Yuuri thinks it's better if he doesn't come back.

However, it seems that in this environment she was concentrating too much. The costume was sewn in less than 10 minutes.

There is still about 20 minutes left to use the room.

Yuuri plopped down by herself on a large desk that could accommodate eight people. The cool feeling coming from the desk made her feel good. It would be easier if I could just disappear like this by myself. When I'm alone and have nothing to do, negative thoughts like that tend to come to my mind. Yuuri placed her hand on the flower hair ornament on her head.

She felt calm when she did this. This hair ornament given to her by her parents was a talisman for Yuuri and a source of emotional support. The only thing about her that hasn't changed is that its always by her side.

"Kisara..."

Touching her hair ornament, Yuuri calms her mind and then remembers the face of her best friend with her dazzling golden hair.

She hasn't seen her face for 10 days now. It was the first time something like that had happened to me since I became her friend. At first, she seemed like a quiet and timid girl, but as she spent time with Yuuri, she became brighter and more energetic. That made Yuuri happy.

She was always with her, and Yuuri was saved many times by her presence. She was a girl who I could proudly call my best friend.

She doesn't care what happens to herself, but she wants Kisara to stay in a dazzling and kind world. Even more so if she has hurt her with her own selfish actions.

"Let's go to Kisara's house again tomorrow... If I can ask her family members and somehow find out her whereabouts..."

Yuuri muttered that and changed her mind, but suddenly she heard the sound of the door to the sewing room open.

She looked up in panic, thinking that the teacher might have come to check on her, but there was someone Yuuri knew.

"...What are you doing all by yourself up to this hour?"

"Asami-kun..."

The person who came in was Renya Asami. He must have been doing some preparation work as well. He was dressed casually, wearing gym clothes with his arms rolled up.

"...I should be asking you what you're doing here. I can't imagine Asami-kun having any business in a place like this."

“When I was about to go home, your shoes were still there, so I was looking for you inside the school.''

"...It's like a stalker."

"Noisy~"

Despite his words, Yuuri was a little happy that he cared about her. But she doesn't think she has the right to think like that now. The reason Kisara and her are about to be torn apart is because of him.

"Anyway, there's no need to worry. I was already on my way home. Thank you for worrying about me. Asami-kun, please go home before it's too late."

Yuuri said as she slipped past Asami and started to leave the sewing room. It would be a good idea to come back for the key after Asami is gone. She felt awkward facing him right now anyway.

"Huh...!! Wait!!!"

Gashin

"...!!"

The moment Yuuri tried to pass by Asami, her arm was grabbed firmly. Surprised by his forceful actions, she looked at Asami, but his eyebrows were furrowed and he looked angry and anxious.

"Don't run away anymore... You're the one who's hurt the most now that Kisara is gone...!! Just rely on me for a little bit...!!"

Asami screamed desperately. He must have gotten angry at Yuuri for continuing to avoid him. In fact, it was the first time since that day that the two had spoken properly. But Yuuri doesn't want that now.

"...Please give Kisara that kind of consideration. Kisara should be the one who is hurting right now. I may not be able to do it myself, but I think you can be there for Kisara. So..."

“Right now I’m talking about you!!! Kisara has nothing to do with it!!!”

Asami shouted again, interrupting Yuuri's words. Yuuri was startled by the sudden loud voice. His voice echoed loudly in the quiet school building.

However, Asami doesn't care about that and just stares at Yuuri.

"Of course Kisara is important to me. But you’re just as important as her, I can't leave you alone right now."

"...Why do you care about me? You always say that I have a bad personality. You're right. I always wonder how ugly I am compared to the pure Kisara."

Yuuri muttered while looking down at the ground. She felt that she didn't have anything to compare to the bright and cute Kisara. She even felt guilty about being her best friend. She is feeling as negative like that -

"I don't know why your self-esteem is so low...but you're loved more than you think by the people around you. Everyone in your class is too, and of course I am too. That's why I want to suffer with you as well. And... I promised you I'd do anything I could."

"ah……"

Those were the words that he said when they truly met. Yuuri still remembers that day. At first she thought he was just a guy she didn't get along with, but now he's become such an important person to her.

Yuuri finally breaks down after receiving kind words from Asami.

A tear runs down her cheek.

"Ugh... why... tears..."

"Nanase..."

As Yuuri hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve, Asami took a handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped her tears.

Asami's kind face was right next to me. Yuuri couldn't help but press her head against his chest.

"Nanase...?"

"Just for now...just for now...please lend me your chest."

Yuuri rests her head on Asami's chest and silently sheds tears. He couldn't see her face from above, but judging by the tone of her voice, she must have been given a sense of security.

"..."

Yuuri's large twin mounds hit Asami's belly, distorting its shape. Asami desperately resisted the urge to push Yuuri down right now, and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Right now, his first priority is to reassure Yuuri and calm her down. He thought he might be rejected, but Yuuri just flinched for a moment and calmly fell into his arms.

Let's stay like this until she stops crying - that's what Asami was thinking.


rattling

""!?"

Asami and Yuuri quickly separated. I heard some noise from the back of the hallway. Maybe someone was watching. Asami and the others were hugging each other at the entrance to the sewing room. They are fully visible from the hallway.

“I-is there anyone there?”

Asami timidly calls out to anyone. Although students are allowed to work after school during the school festival, it is rare for students to stay until this time. Even when he looked around the dimly lit hallway, he couldn't see anyone.

"I-I guess it was just my imagination. No one seems to be there."

"Oh, that's right. Maybe it's a ghost... huh."

"Don't be afraid to say it yourself...Well, I guess we shouldl go home for today."

"……I agree"

Due to the current commotion, the atmosphere from earlier had completely dissipated. Yuuri's tears have receded, and she's in a completely relaxed mood.

Asami and Yuuri left the school building, feeling strangely awkward.




However, there were multiple shadows staring at them.

"Oh, it’s so hot there. The two of them walked home side by side. They were openly hugging each other just now, so they're already dating. What do you think? Kisara."

“……………….”

One of the two shadows watching them, a blonde girl, was completely naked and pale, with a look of despair on her face.
