Episode 8 My Ex-Girlfriend Seems To Be Wondering What Im Up To

There were less than 10 minutes left for lunch break.

Rina san seemed to have PE class next period, so we parted a little early.

When I pulled up a chair in my seat, I exchanged glances with Yuka.

..Welcome back.

O-oh. Im back?

I replied with my spinal reflexes, but was Im back the right thing to say?

In the first place, Welcome back is a strange way to start a conversation

Were you with Onee chan?

Yes, but.

Why would you ask such a thing?

Yuika was rather rigid and had a tendency to monitor my every move.

As long as we were dating, I could understand such restraints, but now weve broken up.

Moreover, we broke up because of Yuikas own reasons.

Im not happy that she was so concerned about who I was with on my lunch break.

What were you doing?

Is that really necessary?

Yuikas expression stiffened.

When we were dating, I always answered honestly, so I guess this answer was unexpected.

If you dont want to, then you dont have to tell me.

I see.

Youre not going to tell me?

You said that I dont have to.

Yuika gave me a look of dissatisfaction.

I sighed.

Im just having a normal lunch with her.

..Fuun.

After she heard it, it didnt seem like shes interested.

Yuika rested her chin on her cheek and turned her gaze to the outside of the window.

Since Onee chan is beautiful, arent you having a hard time dating her?

Are you really saying that, Yuika?

Eh?

Yuika, youre as beautiful as Rina san.

.Tsu. W-why are you hitting on your ex-girlfriend !?

Huh? I dont mean to do that

Yuika unusually blushes and speaks in rapid succession.

Her sapphire- like eyes swam left and right, and she turned away.

Dont think that me and Onee chan were on the same level. Youre making miserable.

I think they share the same genes, and I think both Rina san and Yuka are beautiful. Only the hair color is different.

In any case, it cant be helped if I interpreted it poorly.

Im going to apologize for the time being.

Im sorry. I didnt mean to offend you.

..Fuun.I mean, does it have to be Onee chan?

I raised my eyebrows.

Etto, what do you mean?

Just like that. Do you have to go out with Onee chan?

I want to be single for the rest of my life

No, thats not what I meant. There are lots of girls out there.

In other words, she was asking if I had no choice but to go out with Rina san, and not other girls

If thats what you meant, then theres no reason why it had to be Rina san.

.I-if thats the case.

But I dont see any reason why it shouldnt be Rina san. I mean, whats the point of this question?

I-it doesnt mean anything, Im just curious..

The pattern of its got to be her seems to be a rare one.

Thats exactly what it means to be in a relationship with marriage in mind.

Im not sure I understand Yuikas intention with her question.

And the smartphone vibrates.

When I looked, I saw a chat from Rina san.

[Good luck with your afternoon classes ]

A photo was sent to me along with a brief chat.

Rina san in her gym clothes.

However, she pulled her chest with her right hand, revealing her magnificent twin hills.

Her underwear was barely visible, but her cleavage was clearly visible.

Bufuu, goho, gohoho !?

I coughed unintentionally.

W-whats wrong? Are you okay?

Y-yeah..Im fine.

Even though were dating, I wonder if Rina san is too aggressive

This is already the territory of a female molester.

Even though I didnt ask for it, she sent it to me without my permission.

I saved it. I properly saved it I said it twice because its important.

Chatting with Onee chan?

Well, yeah.

After seeing my reaction, it seems that Yuika confirmed it.

I quickly sent a chat to Rina chan.

[Do you want to have a digital footprint?]

I got a reply right away.

[I was going to give it to Takuto kun only, but are you going to release it onto the Internet?]

[I would never do that.]

[Then you can rest assured. You can use this tonight.]

[Im not sure what you mean by that.]

Is this person really a female molester?

[Oh, this isnt enough for you, is it?]

[I dont know what youre trying to say at all, but maybe, no, i think that its not enough.]

[I see. Well, I wont give it to you.]

[I-I see.]

I was expecting a little bit more

I dropped my shoulders to express my disappointment.

I had been so absorbed in my phone that I had ignored Yuika.

Yuka was staring at me with a sour look on her face.

W-what is it?

Nothing. I just thought you seemed to be having a good time.

Cant I have fun?

..Its not like you cant.

I wonder if she doesnt like it when the guy she dumped is having fun.

As I pondered about Yuikas feelings, I heard a familiar chime.

The teacher appeared, accompanied by the chime, and the relaxed atmosphere in the classroom tightens.

I turned my head to the blackboard and put away my phone.

Even so, it looks like its going to be fun

I wonder if I look like I was having fun while communicating with Rina san.

I was working hard in the afternoon class while feeling a little bummed out.
