Chapter 42: 42

Chapter 42 – About Me

“How was it? I don’t think there was anything special about me.”

“Not at all. I was happy to hear many things about Senpai that I did not know of before. I wanted to hear about your daily life, that’s why I don’t care about your unique quirks.”

Yes, it really was good to hear a lot of things that I had not known before.

And… I got to hold hands with Senpai… In fact, we have not let go of each other’s hands yet- what should I do…?

While I was thinking that, Senpai slowly released her hand and straightened her posture.

“Is there anything else you’re curious about? If there is anything else you’d like to know, please don’t hesitate to ask.”

It wasn’t that there was nothing else, and it was all something trivial, plus I could ask again when I felt like it.

“Then, it’s my turn now, isn’t it? I say that, but I have nothing really to say. Rather, it might be quicker to have Sara-senpai ask me what you want to know or what you’re curious about.”

“Fufu… so tell me what kind of life you usually lead.”

My daily life… now that she mentioned it- I told her that at home I mostly play games, read manga and surf the internet.

I told her that my parents were at home and that I was living alone due to family reasons.

At school, I just told her that I wasn’t faring well in class.

I’ve already said something like that before.

Regarding housework, I told her that I do the bare necessities… I think?

That’s how it is for a boy living alone, right?

As for the meals, I was almost tempted to mention that they were all instant, restaurant or convenience store meals.

“Didn’t you say you had family members who would be coming?”

Now that she mentioned it, I remembered saying to her that it was set up that way.

No, it’s not that I’m hiding it. I just didn’t want to tell her…

Then, before she could ask her next question, Senpai’s expression changed to a serious one.

“If you don’t want to tell me about this, I won’t force you. How about the story of when you were in junior high school?”

I knew that was the part she was concerned about the most. It was also something I was half-hearted about when brought up.

However… there’s a reason why I honestly don’t want to tell her… especially since Senpai is a girl.

I really don’t care that much about Yuzuha, but I don’t want my senpai to feel uncomfortable… especially since she’s having so much fun.

I hope I can explain it properly with just the highlights since…

“Senpai… I’m sorry, but I can’t talk about that time in detail because it involves the circumstances of someone other than me.”

“Ah, then please don’t strain yourself. I’m not…”

“But… I can tell you to some extent, if that’s okay with you?”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, I can tell you briefly…”

“I have a childhood friend. We were close until elementary school, I think, but we drifted apart when we entered junior high school. Well, I’ve been taking care of her since we were little, so I was worried about her and watched over her. But she was influenced by the environment, and she kept changing. To be honest, she’s become the type of person I don’t like, in terms of appearance and behavior. But since she’s free to do as she pleases, it’s not my place to say anything about it.”

Senpai listened to me in silence.

Then I went on with my story.

“It was then that I accidentally found out something about her that I couldn’t overlook, and I got angry about it and punched the main culprit. A lot of things happened after that, and I was shunned by everyone around me, so I ended up spending the rest of my junior high school life like that.”

In actuality, Yuzuha’s lies got me treated like the perpetrator and were condemned by the whole class…

But I don’t have to tell her that much.

——————————————

(Sara’s POV)

I’m certain he was trying to avoid talking about things he couldn’t talk about, so it was surely a lot more complicated than it really was.

Even though it’s painful, he has told me so much…

In the future, I won’t bring up the subject again.

If there comes a time when Takanashi-san is willing to tell me everything, I will accept it, no matter what it is…

But there was one thing that bothers me… just this one thing.

“I’m curious about one thing, what did your childhood friend do when Takanashi-san was in such a situation?”

“Ah~, She must have thought I was bothering her. The story around the time about how I beat someone up was slightly related after all. After that, we got into quite a fight and she ended up ignoring me.”

From what he told me, Takanashi-san probably got angry because of something that happened to his childhood friend.

I don’t know the exact reason, but it must have been something serious for the kind Takanashi-san to beat up someone.

Didn’t her childhood friend ever think about that too…?

But the fact is that it became a one-sided accusation…

——————————————

“So that’s what happened… Sorry, I don’t know the details so I can’t say anything easily… However, I can say this. I’m Takanashi-san’s ally. This I can tell you clearly.”

I knew that Senpai would believe me.

Even though my explanation was so vague, I was glad to hear Senpai’s sentiment.

In fact, I don’t think what I did was wrong.

If there is such a thing as “rightful beating”, I believe it was that and I don’t feel remorseful at all.

“… I probably won’t get along with that childhood friend of yours…”

Senpai mumbled something in a whisper with a blank expression…
