Chapter 38 – Consideration of Friends

 

TL: Cheetah

 

ED: Ryuubii

 

“This is also cute…”

 

Senpai said so while looking at a lunch box.

 

By the way, what we’re looking at right now is a lunch box with an illustration of a cat on it.

 

…Honestly, I was imagining a typical boy’s lunch box… No, if Senpai’s fine with it, then I am…

 

——————————————

 

“Sara is the type of person who doesn’t care about boy’s stuff. I’m sure she’ll choose something cute.”

 

“… Kazunari eating out of a cute bento box, I just can’t imagine it…”

 

It seems like it’s going to take a while to choose one, so I might as well share opinions now.

 

“Right now is a good time, so I’ll introduce myself. Once again, I’m Natsumi Yuzuki. I’m a sophomore, and also a friend and classmate of that girl, Sara Satsukawa.”

 

“I’m Yuji Tachibana. I’ve known Kazunari since junior high school.”

 

“Nice to meet you, Tachibana-kun. I’ll get right to it, but the fact that you’re here today means that you’re worried about them in some way, right?”

 

“For your cooperation, thank you Yuzuki-san. Yes, Kazunari has a few things on his mind… and besides, it’s been quite a while since he’s been out with anyone other than me, so I was even more curious.”

 

There was something more… right?

 

I’m curious, but it’s a rude question to ask out of the blue.

 

“I am interested in what would happen with Sara’s first date… and at the same time, I was worried about her, so I came along.”

 

“… Oh, I see. By the way, I have a fundamental question. About Satsukawa-san, she has publicly said that Kazunari is his friend, right? Is that correct?”

 

As expected, he would be asking.

 

That means Takanashi-kun was also taking Sara’s words seriously…

“Yes, it’s true that Sara says that Takanashi-kun said that she is his dear friend… He~y Tachibana-kun? Can I consider you as an accomplice? There are some things I want Takanashi-kun to remain silent about, but…”

 

“To be honest, I want Kazunari to be saved already. He’s such a nice guy, but he’s been in a lot of bad situations because of the people around him. So if he can be happy, I’ll cooperate.”

Yes…I think this would work.

I’m curious about his story, about what happened before.

 

But getting involved is…

 

However, friends are similar in nature, and Tachibana-kun is a kind person.

 

“I understand. From here on, it’s a secret, but first of all, Sara is not really aware of her feelings. It’s probably because she’s never been in love before, but she feels possessive or jealous in some strange way, and she seems to think it’s because he is her dear friend of the opposite s*x. Well, I didn’t correct her on this.”

“As I suspected. I was listening to him and started thinking of… something along those lines.”

 

“Prioritizing Takanashi-kun has gone way beyond the level of a normal friend, but she doesn’t realize it, or rather, she doesn’t care about it.  She thinks that it’s normal for people to recognize that she favors him just by looking.”

 

“Isn’t that a bit presumptuous?”

 

“Regarding Sara, she’s been avoiding boys for a reason. And since it’s the first time she’s gotten to know a boy, and probably the first time she’s ever been in love, she’s feeling a lot of emotions, or maybe she’s just overreacting and going out of control.”

 

“Oh, I see. So that’s why it feels like she’s doing too much while claiming that he is only a friend to her.”

 

“How about Takanashi-kun, what does he think?”

 

I think that is where the problem lies.

 

At the very least, I’m assuming he has feelings for her that are more than just a good friend…

 

“That guy… He’s trying to match Satsukawa-san.”

 

“Match?”

 

“I believe that he’ll be happy to be in the position that Satsukawa-san is looking for. That’s why if Satsukawa-san wants to be just friends, he’ll be her friend. As such, he’ll assess Satsukawa-san’s feelings because he really cares about her…”

 

Ah… it’s something that Takanashi-kun would say, but…

 

In short, because Sara is important to her, he doesn’t care what position he’ll be in.

 

…This won’t do, I’ll make sure to get those two together.

“I can’t say too much about it because it’s for him to say, but there was something that happened when he was in junior high school, and he was looking for someone who knew him and accepted him for who he is, not a friend like me who have known him before. So when that person finally showed up, there was a part of him that was lost in thought. Even if I ask him, he’ll never say he wants her to be his girlfriend or that he likes her as a member of the opposite s*x.”

 

“…I see. But if that’s the case, do you think he’s just putting Sara before himself, while his true feelings are different?”

 

“…This is just me, but I think he does have feelings for her. Still, as long as she directly say that they’re friends, I’m sure he’s going to stay as her friend.”

 

“…I understand. So that means, first of all, Sara needs to realize what her feelings are. However, this is also my own feeling, but I want her to realize it on her own.”

 

This is what I really wished for.

 

That Sara finally took a liking to a boy, so I want her to take it slowly while I watch over her.

 

“As for me, as long as Kazunari is happy with his current situation, psychologically or not, I don’t think there’s any need to rush and stir things up. I think we should just watch over them and make sure they don’t go in the wrong direction.”

 

I agree.

 

I can’t help but think that Tachibana-kun is a good guy who deeply treasures his friends.

 

I suppose we can cooperate in the future.

  

“Now that we’ve decided on the direction and shared information about the two we’re going to help, let’s keep an eye on today’s date.”

 

“That’s right.”
