Kikanshita Yuusha no Gojitsudan

I had a strange heartbeat that morning.

I think it might be closer to saying "chest noise" or "anxiety."

It's as if something important is going out of reach.

Such anxiety.

It was the face of 'He' that came to mind in the fact that it was important.

"He" Yuya Kashiwagi.

I got restless and I walked my dog (Elizabeth) there too. Anyway, I headed to college.

When I arrived at the university parking lot, Hiroya's motorcycle was already there.

He rarely leaves his motorcycle in college, so I guess he's already at college today.

I'm just a little relieved.

It's a pretty serious Yuya thing, so I'm sure she'll be lecturing until this evening.

I have a lecture to take, too. I've been here a little too early, but it would be good once in a while.

Over time, my anxiety just grew stronger.

Lectures don't even come to my head on Locke.

I stopped wandering and decided to wait for Hiroya in the garage.

My first meeting with Yuya was shortly after I enrolled in middle school.

I moved to this city at the same time as I graduated from primary school from Fukuoka, where I lived until then for the convenience of my parents' work.

Even though I have no choice, I don't have any friends around when I enroll in middle school.

Kids from the same elementary school were forming a group in the class, and I couldn't get into that circle.

If it was private, it might not have been, but it was a very expensive hurdle for me at the time, and if it had stayed that way, I might not have liked going to school.

When I was in school for about a week, it was Yuya who spoke to me when I was alone.

"Kudo, was it? You, what part of the house?

Sure, I think it was something like that.

A gentle, nostalgic smile strikes me.

I don't really remember what I responded to.

Then Yuya talked to me all kinds of things and introduced me to her friends.

Yuya took good care of herself and had many friends. I think that's why I was able to crack it right into my class.

Yuya wasn't particularly prominent, but she was subtly following people and helping people in need when she saw them.

There was something strangely grown-up about it for my age, it was pretty serious, and few people hated Yuya to the best of my knowledge.

Although it was not particularly popular.

Yuya started calling me by name when she was in middle school two years ago.

There was a boy with the same last name in his class, and because he was confused, he started calling him 'Kudo Shi' under his full name, and within that he started calling him 'Shi'.

I also changed the way I called Hiroya from Kashiwagi-kun to Hiroya.

And since then Yuya has become my 'special'.

Even after entering high school, his relationship with Yuya remained unchanged, and he never got any closer or worse.

Yuya started working part-time as soon as she got into high school and seemed to be busy studying and working part-time every day, but she still went to play a few times a month with two people or friends.

In fact, Hiroya didn't seem to notice, but in high school Hiroya was quite popular with girls. Unlike boys my age, I guess that's why I wasn't weirdly aware or gutted about girls.

Still, few women took a direct approach. Apparently, he gave up from the beginning because I was always nearby. Never was I interfering. I think.

Well, he was busy working part-time to get his bike licensed, and he didn't seem to be able to afford to pay much attention to that because he studied properly.

Look at the pictures of the gravure idols. Sometimes they get excited with other boys, and I don't think that's why they weren't interested.

Don't tell me you were depressed compared to the breasts in the sneak peek pictures and your own.

It was really hard when I took the college exam.

I was not as good as Hiroya, so I was distracted when I heard about Hiroya's school of choice.

Still desperate to study, I could not do the same undergraduate but managed to enroll in the same university's education department. I felt like I ran out of all my luck then.

I was also trying to change my relationship with Yuya on the occasion of college enrollment, but I don't want to break my current comfortable relationship and it continues with cheating. It's very unwillingness for him to settle into a position like a bad friend, but I can hardly grasp the hang-up.

I was starting to regret it now.

View the clock.

It was time for Yuya to come home.

Most of the time, I don't know if they will come soon because they often show their faces in circles. Still, I wanted to be relieved to see Hiroya's face.

When I felt the signs and looked at the entrance to the parking lot, I saw Yuya walking in.

But something has a different vibe than usual. I wonder what.

Anyway, I'll try to speak up.

"Hiroya. Return?"

"Oh, oh,... long time no see"

Something is wrong. It's not as long as it's been in the first place, and Hiroya doesn't usually make these kinds of mistakes.

"I think we just met yesterday?

"Am I?

Yuya's eyes are swimming. And it also looks like something is moisturizing my eyes.

I stare at Hiroya so that I don't miss a little change.

If you look closely, the atmosphere is clearly different from that of yesterday, even though there is certainly no mistake that Hiroya is. A change as if when I reunited with someone I hadn't seen in a year.

"Hiroya, is something wrong?

I dare ask directly.

"What is it?

"Hmm, like a face or an atmosphere? I suddenly feel different."

Yes, something very grown up or manly? Never in a bad way, but obvious change.

"It's your fault, isn't it? Humans don't change so suddenly. Nothing in particular happened."

Hiroya says to deceive. Looks like he's trying to keep an eye out for some reason.

I suddenly get anxious. Could even a lover have done it?

"Oh well... could she have done it?

Just kidding, but I heard it for real. Yet I'm afraid to ask the answer.

"Blah! You idiot! There's no way!

Yuya answers looking at me as if I had been told something unexpected for a moment.

This face is not a lying face. Hiroya's lies are immediately apparent to me.

I'm just a little relieved that the worst imagination has come off.

"That's right ~. History of not having a girlfriend = It can't be worth it for Hiroya, her age"

"History of not having a boyfriend = I don't want to be told by Age Cee"

"Excuse me! I just don't make it, not that I can't have a boyfriend!!

"Heh heh, that was evil"

The usual hanging with Yuya. That's a lot of fun.

Not only that, but my chest pounds. I'm kind of upset that Hiroya looks so good.

"Well, that's good. I have to stop by, so I'm going home."

"Where are you going to stop by?

"Mah-oh. I suddenly wanted to eat it."

I panic a little.

My anxiety from the morning has already gone somewhere, but I still can't contain my desire to be with Yuya today.

"I'm going too! I haven't been there lately."

"Mah-oh in front of the station, right? I'll go ahead and get a seat."

That's what I said and set off the scooter without hearing Yuya's reply.

Because this is how the usual Yuya should come after me with a bitter laugh.

When I arrive at Ma 'O in front of the station, I complete my order and get to the empty seat.

The store had 80% of the seats filled, but it was good to secure them well.

Waiting for Hiroya makes me anxious that he was a little too forceful. I was half sure Yuya would come, but I want to refrain from being offended by Yuya at all costs.

Yuya enters the store in no time.

Seeing that look, I get the impression that 'I knew it wasn't like before'.

Somehow, the presence isn't normal. The moment I entered the store, the people in the store looked up to Hiroya.

Yuya completes her order like she doesn't really care about her gaze. She receives the product and walks here.

Its appearance made it feel supple and powerful, reminiscent of some kind of tiger or such large cat animal.

"... I knew Hiroya, it's changed!

I stuck with Hiroya.

"Not again."

Hiroya tells me to delude myself somewhere.

"The atmosphere, the way you walk. I don't think I'm in the same shape as that. And the atmosphere."

"I've been working out lately, so it looks that way, doesn't it?

Is it something that changes so quickly because I worked out?

Of course, I don't think it would be a bad thing for Yuya to look good. Thinking ahead increases anxiety, but that can't be helped.

But I honestly regret Yuya changing out of my ignorance. If it changes, I want to change it with my hands. What are you talking about?

"... hey, did you fall in love?

Yuya said that to the lid.

I know you're just making fun of me from that look, but I'm desperate to contain the upset.

I've been in love with Hiroya for a long time. That's what I've been doing since I was in middle school.

"Huh? You want some coke from your eyes?

I'm embarrassed. I say that with an unexpected glance at Yuya.

I hate myself for not being really honest.

Then Yuya and I decided to go home to each other without a scratch.

I like to see Yuya riding a motorcycle. It crosses the bike looking very pleasantly loving.

A little jealous at the same time. Sometimes you want me on board too...... not, but as a girl it would be natural for me to want you to take care of it just as much.

As a matter of fact, I am implementing a plan to keep it a secret from Hiroya. If that is accomplished, we will be more together. Maybe.

The next day there was no afternoon lecture, so my best friend Nana Aizawa and Nachan decided to go visit me in front of the station.

Na and I met in college.

Very sweet and adorable good daughter. You know, there are places that are a little too big for me to pull into, but I've been going out with you a lot since then and going to each other's houses. My only dissatisfaction is that my breasts are bigger than mine.

I was looking around at clothes and accessories together, and a threesome of guys called me out.

"Hey, student? Why don't you play somewhere with us?

This is how I get numbed often when I'm with Na properly.

I am not convinced that I am rarely left alone. Sure, Nana's cute from the woman's point of view.

"Sorry, we're busy."

"Don't say that. Come on. I know what's good."

Pretty persistent this time. They come closer than necessary, trying to block us.

"I'm telling you I'm busy! Get out of the way!!

Originally low in boiling point I roughed up my voice. There are a lot of people around, but no one seems likely to guess.

"Hey! What's up?

I can accidentally call from another person.

My heartbeat jumps. I wonder why he always has this good timing.

It's been interrupting with the men to shelter us.

Yuya is talking to the three people who have been nagging.

Speaking of which, I haven't really seen Yuya fighting or anything. Is it okay? I get worried.

After a few moments, I saw a pair of Napa threesomes shrugging away as they bowed their heads to Yuya.

What the hell did you do? It didn't look like we were fighting in particular though.

I tried to pursue it, but I was kind of deluded.

Apparently Yuya was also here to do some shopping.

Offer to accompany you immediately.

Nana, who knows how I feel, laughed and agreed.

The three of us enter Yu Yu Kuro, which was a little further away, and find a variety of things.

Tall Yuya looks good in whatever she wears. I'm not in love with a desire. Yeah.

A female customer who was in the store in the evidence has noticed a flicker and Yuya. Kind of very uninteresting.

I caught Hiroya's hand and advised her to wear clothes to show them around.

Na is looking at me and laughing at Couscous.

"Something happened to Kashiwagi-san, didn't it? I mean, I'm just gonna catch your eye."

Oh, I didn't expect you to mention that to Na. I have a bit of a problem.

Honestly, I don't feel I can win when Na becomes a competitor.

Na has someone she likes, and I hear that's not Yuya, but she's not shy to tell me more.

Please don't let Hiroya worry about it.

I bought a good number of clothes and left the store.

He said he happened to make money from the lottery or something. I used to save extra money right away, you know?

I told Na that I was going to have dinner today and then go home, and Yuya was going to come with me.

When Hiroya texted her sister, Yayumi, about it, she even decided to come to Yayumi.

Yayumi is a bit of a bracon, and seems to me to be up against it too.

I don't hate it, though. I don't think you hate me, but I think it feels a little uninteresting.

We joined Yayumi and entered a family chain store that was nearby.

Finish your meal while the four of us have a nice chat. Of course, the dessert was finished.

I feel Yayumi's brother LOVE was accelerating even more, but I decide not to care. But I was surprised by the appetite. They don't get fat no matter how much they eat. I'm really jealous.

Initially it was meant to be a Wallican, but Yuya decided to give it all out because she could afford it.

I jokingly said something that would make Suoba luxurious, but did you mean it?

I'm going to let Hiroya out next time she's short of money.

After a delightful meal, I heard a tremendous noise as I walked home. Looks like a car accident.

I didn't see it directly from me, but it gets noisy around me.

Soon Yuya will give us instructions.

Something feels like I'm very used to giving that instruction. Let's get this straight. It looks so good.

I also act to follow the instructions to see how the person in the accident is doing.

Shortly before I scratched the crowd as I was following Yuya with my gaze, I felt Yuya's whole body wrapped up in something like a pale light. I think it was a mistake of some sort because it was only for a moment, and I resume my action.

Get close to the car you think is the one who was responsible for the accident. I can see the front part of the car is fairly damaged. Looks like the driver is still in the car.

"Are you all right?

I wondered if he was even injured. A guy in his mid-twenties is making a flat phone call when he peeks into the car.

"I had an accident, I got some people together ~. Damn, give me a break ~"

I heard that from a slightly empty window.

I'm annoyed. I'm just annoyed.

I bang my car window and let it open,

"Don't even call an ambulance. What are you doing?!

Yelling.

I get out of the car looking like a pain in the ass with a man staring at my face.

When I look at Hiroya, Hiroya's falling girl? I could see him holding hands to it. I don't know what I'm doing.

Yuya's hands and girl are wrapped in a pale light.

I was curious, but I couldn't help but watch. He walks out pushing the man toward Hiroya.

"Ahhh, I'm not following you"

Yell at the man who still says that throughout this period.

"You! They're injured and they're down! What are you thinking?!

It seemed like a man whined something but it didn't sound to me.

But all of a sudden Yuya grabbed the man's chest. The man's feet are completely floating.

When I look at Yuya in a hurry, my eyes are stained with anger.

Shit. If it stays like this, Yuya could hit a man.

I don't want Hiroya to get hurt or caught because of a man like this.

I try to cling to Hiroya's arm and pull him away, but Hiroya's body doesn't even freak out.

Hiroya finally let go when she heard the ambulance siren a little while later. Good.

We briefed the police officer who arrived afterwards and finally opened up.

Yuya looked very grumpy...

We'll take the motorcycle home and drop off Yuya and Yayumi, and we'll go home too.

After all, I couldn't ask what that Hiroya wrapped light was.

"Hey, did Na see that light?

"Light? What?

"The light when Hiroya was by the girl who was down."

"Uh-huh, I didn't see Kashiwagi-kun then, did I? I wonder if he was in the shadow of people"

Na must have called the police at the scene of the accident, so I don't think there's any reason Hiroya can't see him.

Though I wondered, I decided not to continue my words any further.

"But you looked good, Kashiwagi-san."

I looked at Na as a gyao, Na looked at me with a smile like the prank had been a success.

"Shall we hear plenty about Sy today after this? Kashiwagi gave you a hug, didn't he?

"Huh? No, that wasn't a hug or anything..."

My face gets hot remembering how I felt when I cling to Hiroya's arm.

"Well, well, fine. Stay home today."

Na traced her home forcefully as she pulled my arm in panic.
