Morning. I got to school earlier than usual.
Why? It was, of course, to beat Chinatsu-chan in this test.
She and I were competing with each other. The one who ranks higher in the test will get the right to make loser do whatever they want.
The battle I can not afford to lose is here!!
It was test week, so there was no sound of the athletic teams doing morning practice. It was the best environnt to concentrate on studying.
I opened my textbooks and notebooks in the empty library.
After all, I made more progress here than when I study at ho. At this rate, it was not only possible to close the gap with Chinatsu-chan, but also to turn the tables on her.
And if I win, I can get her to do whatever I say. . Fufufu~ Im going to set a new record for the highest score ever!
You are in a good mood, Masataka-kun. Did sothing good happen to you?
Huh!? Ma-Matsuyuki.
I didnt notice her presence until she called out to .
Matsuyuki was sitting next to and smiling. To think that I didnt notice until Matsuyuki spoke to even though she was this close to . I couldnt decide for a mont if Matsuyuki was a genius at erasing her presence or if my concentration was amazing.
W-Why are you in the library?
I think its for the sa reason as you, Masataka-kun. I also wanted to study quietly.
Saying so, Matsuyuki spread out her study materials on her desk. And youre going to do it in the seat next to ?
If you want to study, go ahead. You dont have to study next to . There are plenty of empty seats.
Isnt it kind of weird to go to a separate seat from soone I know so well?
I dont care.
In that case, please dont mind and study hard.
Matsuyuki didnt care and started studying next to . I dont carethats not what I ant, you know?
As a guy with a girlfriend, I didnt want to be alone with other girls too much.
But is it not nice to be away from here? Matsuyuki made have a strange hunch about it.
Oh well. What was important now was to improve my academic performance as much as possible. The only thing I aid for was to win over Chinatsu-chan.
As I was about to concentrate on my studies once more, sothing occurred to .
Hey, Matsuyuki.
What is it?
Matsuyuki, whats going on with you and Osako?
Matsuyuki raised her head and looked at . Her expression remained smiling.
By any chance, Masataka-kun, do you think I did sothing again?
What do you an again? I an, Osako hasnt been doing well lately, right? He said that Matsuyuki was his girlfriend, and I thought you might know sothing about him.
As expected, I couldnt talk about Osakos outburst.
Chinatsu-chan doesnt want to spread her childhood friends wounds either. If so, Ill simply respect her opinion.
I treated Kentaro-kun as a friend. But Kentaro didnt seem to be happy about it, and he was terribly sad about it.
You an you properly told Osako that you didnt intend to date him as a girlfriend?
Properly Yeah, I ant it from the very beginning.
Osako finally realized his mistake. But he couldnt admit it, so he went off the rails?
I was not the person involved, and Osako was silent about what happened with Matsuyuki. So I had no way of knowing what really happened between the two of them.
Its not like I wanted to find out whats going on. As long as Chinatsu-chan wont be hurt, nothing matters.
I returned to my studies.
Ah, by the way, Masataka-kun
What is it?
Youre dating Chinatsu-chan, arent you, Masataka-kun?
She must have heard the rumors. The word that Chinatsu-chan and I were dating was already spreading not only throughout the class, but also throughout the school year.
Yes, thats right. We are dating.
I answered proudly. Matsuyuki also looked happy, even though it was not about her.
Congratulations! Masataka-kun, you have been watching Chinatsu-san very closely. I have been thinking since last year that you must like her.
W-Was it that obvious, ?
Yes, because you are so honest, Masataka-kun. I am a girl, you know. I have a womans intuition.
If thats the case, why dont you make more use of it for yourself? You didnt notice Osakos feelings, or rather, you were insensitive.
With a sparkle in her voice, Matsuyuki continued.
This is also because Masataka-kun was right there to comfort Chinatsu-san when she was feeling weak.
eh?
For so reason, I felt like Matsuyuki ntioned sothing that she wasnt supposed to know .
When Kentaro-kun was blaming Chinatsu-san and making her cry, Masataka-kun was also there. It was nice to have the chance right in front of you.
(T/N: This woman scares )
Matsuyuki was smiling. All the ti, she was smiling and talking.
And yet, I couldnt stop the chills. I was in a very vulnerable position, and the girl in front of might be holding my weakness.
