Chapter 22 | It's Okay ~Youka's Perspective~

~Youka’s Perspective~.

It’s the third morning since Senpai rejected me.

Yesterday and the day before were vacations and school was not in session… Today would be the first day of school since Senpai’s rejection.

I headed to Senpai’s house without hesitation.

I don’t have the courage to meet him, but I would rather just watch him from afar…

I can’t resist seeing my senpai even if he rejects me. I don’t want to end my relationship with senpai here…I don’t even want to think about it.

I really like him…I really like him…so why did I do such a stupid thing?

Regretting what happened at that time, I left my house earlier than usual and headed for my senpai’s house.

I arrived at Senpai’s house and watched him from afar. But there I found an unexpected person.

“Why is she here?

Just when he was about to leave the house…but there were other girls in the mix. I don’t understand why she’s with him at all.

“Kinjo…Karen…”

It’s because of that woman that I ended up in this situation with my senpai…and yet she’s walking around with him with such a happy expression on her face.

I had already guessed from Friday’s exchange that Kinjo Karen liked him. And that would explain why she has been poking at me so far: jealousy.

But I can’t allow her to be with Senpai, the source of everything, I can’t accept it! I love him so much…! I really love him…!

“Eh? Wait a minute… but… is that…?

Youka was filled with hatred towards Kinjo Karen immediately after witnessing the incident, but then she realized that there was a possibility.

“Maybe, senpai, you’re not that angry anymore….”

That makes sense.

Because the person you should hate the most is Kinjo Karen… There is no way that she can forgive her and can’t forgive me!

If that’s the case, then I have to go see my senpai right after school…!

Youka decided to make up her mind and slapped her cheeks repeatedly.

Then she made up her mind.

She decided to apologize to Yuuji Sakamoto and ask for his forgiveness.

“I think it would be better to wait a little bit before confessing to him. Yes, right now, the most important thing is to restore our relationship!”

I told myself.

───────

Then came after school that day.

For Nakagawa Youka, it was the biggest turning point in her life. She is at a point in her life where she absolutely cannot screw up. She did not go to the classroom because she wanted to be seen in a good mood as much as possible.

So Youka decided to wait for Yuuji at the school gate.

Without any of the usual mendicant exchanges, Youka is going to apologize to Yuuji with the greatest of apologies.

“Ah, here he is…!”

She spots Yuuji’s figure.

Usually, she is happy just to see him…but today, she is slightly disturbed by a feeling of fear.

(But that’s just for today…tomorrow I’ll be fine…yes I’ll be fine…I’ve learned my lesson about having such a heartache…)

It was just after school, so there were many students around, but fortunately, no one seemed to be going home with Yuuji.

Usui also had a part-time job, and Karen read the situation and didn’t head back to Yuuji’s place.

“I’m going to invite him to a place where he won’t be seen… and bow to him… but…”

Senpai, will you come…?

I had imagined many different developments in my simulation before Yuuji came along, but the ignored development was the most painful for Yang Hua. I don’t want that to happen in reality.

If he doesn’t listen to me, I can’t express my feelings no matter how much I reflect on them.

“Please God…please help me…”

I had no choice but to pray to the heavens that this would not happen again.

While I was praying, Yuuji came close to me.

There was no time to pray anymore. Yang Hua appeared in front of Yuuji with all her might.

“Hey, Sakamoto-senpai!

“What?”

“Ah?”

Youka calls out to him from the front.

From behind, there was a possibility that she would be thought to be joking around like she usually does, so she stood proudly in front of him.

……

The first time we saw each other for the first time in two days, Yuuji’s eyes were as cold as if he were a different person.

It’s not even clear if he is reflecting the existence of Nakagawa Youka, his eyes had lost their color…and it suddenly became so the moment Youka appeared in front of him.

(Why… why…? It’s totally different from the morning…it’s obviously different from the eyes I had when I was with him! You didn’t have those eyes then…! I didn’t have those eyes back then…!)

This is impossible… Youka thought so.

But even so, she had no choice but to gamble on the slightest hope.

“Senpai… if you want, could you come to the back of the gymnasium?”

Youka’s face turned pale, but she gathered up her courage.

If I get scared and run away, that would be the end of everything…

So, Youka took a risk and invited Yuuji to join her.

But…

“Okay.”

“Eh?”

Despite his cold eyes, Yuuji gladly accepted her proposal.

Youka clenched her fists and shed tears so that Yuuji could not see them.
