Fuyu throwing that kind of question most likely ant that she spotted yesterday. I was disguised and even wearing their uniform so she wasn’t sure if it was really . This was her trying to confirm if I was suspicious or not. Akane trying to stop her was possibly because she already ntioned that to her.
To which, Akane didn’t tell . It’s a coincidence that we ran into Fuyu today.
I could sohow guess why Akane didn’t tell about it. Fuyu was only speculating so she probably didn’t feel like it would be a problem.
And that led to the current situation.
As I observed the girl that I just likened to a distant star, that smile of hers that was gentle and kind now appeared like a mask to prevent herself from going for my throat.
She’s probably unsatisfied with Akane’s passive reaction to the possibility that I might be seeing another girl and in the sa school, no less. She took it upon herself to interrogate , in order to protect Akane.
Once again, that’s admirable of her.
Unfortunately for her, this was an instance where I have to deny it. It’s not like she already confird that it was . It’s still salvageable.
Moreover, it wouldn’t be good if she found out.
“Up until the gate, I guess. Does that count as being inside your campus?”
Upon hearing my answer, Fuyu paused in her steps and stared at for a long while.
Although I maintained a neutral expression, to show that her line of questioning failed to pull out a reaction from , I eventually copied her, stopping before looking at her in confusion.
Curious eyes quickly focused in our direction.
“What’s happening? A love triangle?” One of the passing students who’s probably from a higher year wondered.
“That’s the famous 1st year, the one with the golden hair and that girl in a ponytail is that rising Tennis Club ace. I rember watching them that day! They even made it to the front page of our school newspaper. But who the hell is that guy? She’s clinging to him… Boyfriend?” Another one answered him.
While so of them stopped to see what was happening, most continued on their way, not creating a traffic jam for those behind them.
The two girls mostly received praises for their beauty while I got cursed to death when they assud that this was a scene of two girls fighting for my attention.
However, the world wouldn’t be missing those who always wanted to address injustices, those who felt righteous enough to interfere as well as those who thought it might be a chance for them upon reaching a conclusion at what they’re witnessing.
One guy tried to step in. But one glare from and he scurried away. He didn’t even get the chance to speak.
Another tried to grab Fuyu on her shoulder while appearing concerned. He was probably going to say, ‘What’s wrong?’. Well, that one felt like a normal reaction if the situation was different. He’s a clear stranger so there’s no reason for him to do that.
I thought of moving quickly to pull Fuyu toward us before his hand lands but Akane beat to it. Following that, she glared at the guy while hugging her surprised friend.
With his hand landing on air, he quickly scratched his head and laughed awkwardly before saying, “I-I see. There’s no problem…”
He scurried away right after that.
When he passed by , I intentionally clicked my tongue aggressively.
If I could describe him, he’s like a dwarf from those fantasy stories. He had this broad, seemingly muscular body yet his height betrayed him. Even Akane and Fuyu were even taller than him. Because of that irregularity, even if he’s rather good-looking, that was offset by his build.
Anyway, he tried to return a glare but the laughter occurring around us that was directed to him, pushed him to run away in embarrassnt.
According to what he’s wearing, he’s a senior in their school. I better tell Akane and the others to watch out for him. Akane could protect herself but her friends weren’t like her.
Putting my focus back on the two girls, Akane was still holding Fuyu.
A few seconds later, realizing what just happened and the situation she probably unintentionally created, Fuyu’s shoulders jumped as red gradually crawled up from her neck to her face.
Watching that reaction from her friend, Akane laughed before guiding her back to my side.
Because of what happened, Fuyu’s thoughts scattered. The tension and suspicion towards that she was emitting vanished in thin air.
As we resud our walk, Fuyu, whose embarrassnt had just started to settle in her mind, pouted cutely before nudging her friend’s shoulder in an attempt to get back at her laugh. “Missus, are you my knight in shining armor?”.
“Sure, I am. The Princess of Tennis was being a scatterbrain right there. It’s my duty to not let anyone lay a hand on you. I swear upon my oath.” Akane put a hand on her chest and straightened her back, mimicking a knight gesture.
Ah. That’s right. They’re like this when they’re together.
This kind of sight wasn’t new to as I already witnessed them being goofballs to each other back then. Nonetheless, seeing them laughing and bantering like this after a long while, once again ward my heart that always appreciated close friendships.
A while later, when the two girls stopped laughing at each other, Fuyu’s eyes landed on once again.
I thought she was going to continue with her line of questioning earlier. However, the girl looked at with guilt as she bowed slightly, a gesture of apology.
“Uhm… Forget what I asked, Onoda-kun. You won’t cheat on Akane, right? Maybe I mistook soone with the sa stature as you. You’re not from this school after all.”
Although feeling guilty, those words were still laced with suspicion.
If I had to guess, this girl was more than half-certain that it was who she saw. But with denying it, that certainty plumted. In her mind, she’s probably thinking that unless she interrogated thoroughly, she wouldn’t get any result. Furthermore, it would be rude for her to do that when she had no evidence of my infidelity.
Thinking about it. As soone who was always with Akane back then, she already knew a lot about even though we hadn’t truly interacted with each other. She endured almost everyday of Akane preaching about the guy she loves – .
Naturally I kept my straight face and responded accordingly to her.
And that beca the end of her question. Even if she appeared a little unsatisfied, she was already out of ti.
Nonetheless, she kept shooting glances at as if trying to morize my face and whole figure.
Whenever I would catch her staring, the girl would blink her eyes before acting that I wasn’t the one she’s looking at . Akane also noticed that but as we were guiltily keeping the truth away from the girl, she acted obliviously.
Fortunately, that didn’t last long as a few minutes later, we finally reached our destination as well as the point where I had to part with them.
… I guess I successfully averted Fuyu’s interrogation but this just shows that I can’t be too careless. Besides, with all the attention we gathered today, I expect another article to be written with us as their topic…
Right. I spied from so corner that idiot from the newspaper club, a cara hung on his neck.. He’s showing a thumbs up while grinning widely as if the headlines for their next newspaper would be penned by him.
