Chapter 73 – True Intention

“Now I understand. But let me tell you this first, I don’t like somebody who wants to be friends for profit. I choose my friends not because of something like that.”

I could tell that I was getting pretty irritated.

I’ve always had this feeling that I didn’t like him. It’s not because he did something, but he reminds me of someone from my junior high days.

“Don’t get me wrong. I certainly like Natsumi-senpai, but I don’t mean to imply that I want you to help me with that or anything like that.”

Is he telling the truth?

He’s not asking me directly, but it feels like he’s indirectly asking me to be useful.

This conversation is a waste of time.

“My desire to be friends with you is real. It may sound like I’m bragging, but I don’t like girls hitting on me either. Plus, those who want to be friends with me have ulterior motives and are not looking at me for who I am.”

Indeed that story is believable if you’re that popular.

But what does this have to do with anything?

“And also, you are friends with the two most popular girls in the school, Satsukawa-senpai, and Natsumi-senpai. Moreover, with Satsukawa-senpai being your girlfriend, you don’t have any interest in other girls. Do you want me to introduce you to girls to make you popular?”

I know what Yokogawa’s getting at.

And indeed, if he did that…

“If I approached Natsumi-senpai from the beginning, there would be a lot of misunderstandings, and I can’t have that. And as I’ve mentioned, I want to avoid misunderstandings, so I approached you while not mentioning it to Natsumi-senpai.”

Upon hearing that, I understood what Yokogawa’s motive was, which made me calm down.

But the thing about Natsumi-senpai…

“I understand what you are trying to say. I’m sorry for being on guard from the start and being judgmental. I’ve never been popular, so I won’t say that I understand how you feel, but I can honestly say that I understand the part about not being blessed with friends.”

“Then…”

“But whatever the reason, I care for Natsumi-senpai.”

That’s the number one thing to consider.

Maybe this guy is not as bad as I thought.

The part about not being blessed with friends is something I can relate to, and if it weren’t for Natsumi-senpai, I’d have no friends and be happy if he said he wanted to be my friend.

However, regardless of his true intentions, he would essentially be taking advantage of me, and I can’t honestly accept that.

“I can’t trust you right away. And as you can see, I didn’t like you from the start.”

Now I’ve done it…

Yokogawa, who had a serious look, laughed a little when he heard my words.

“Is that so? If possible, I want you to look at me and earn your trust. That’s why I told you about Natsumi-senpai first.”

What he wants isn’t easy.

If he wants to be friends with me, I would like to accept it.

This desperation bothered me a little, but I somehow understood that Yokogawa has also struggled to make friends.

Besides, Yokogawa looked sincere since he mentioned what he felt about Natsumi-senpai.

“I don’t know what to say to answer.”

I unintentionally answered honestly.

Thinking that there was nothing more to say, I left Yokogawa there and returned to the classroom at a quick pace.

Fortunately, the idiots seemed to have left.

I definitely would lose my temper if I got tangled up with those guys.

I decided to pack up my stuff and headed to the student council room.

——————————————

“Thanks for coming.”

“Thanks for helping.”

“Thank you for coming, Takanashi-kun.”

“Thank you~.”

When I entered the student council room, the members who already gathered there greeted me.

I was happy to feel that they were very welcoming.

It seems that Sara-senpai and the Student president are not here yet.

*Slides open*

“Thanks for coming.”

“Thanks for the hard work, everyone.”

As I was thinking about the two of them, they suddenly appeared. 

It looks like they went somewhere.

「「「「「Thanks for your hard work」」」」」

The Student President looked at everyone and made sure they were all there.

But Sara-senpai… was looking at me.

Our eyes met, and Senpai walked towards me without saying anything.

And when she came close, she tilted her face to the side, peering into my face.

“Takanashi-san, is something wrong?”

“Eh?”

“Is there something on your mind? If it’s all right, I’ll listen to whatever it is.”

Her expression clearly showed concern for me.

“… Are you okay?”

“… I’m alright.”

“… You’re not the same as usual?”

I am indeed troubled by the incident with that guy, but I can’t fool her as expected.

It’s not that my poker face is terrible. It’s just that Sara-senpai is rather sharp.

“It’s not a problem. I’m fine.”

I replied with my friendliest smile as best I could.

But seeing this, Senpai’s expression clouded even more. She grabbed my arm and pulled me away.
