Episode 12 "Fiancée"

after school.

I was on my way to return the book to the library in the school ...

"Eh !? Why?"

I heard a frivolous voice.

It's a joke, but it sounded more like it's angry.

"Hey, just a little ... Iets have a trial run. One month ... No, one week, no, three days! starting from friends ..."

Apparently, it seemed to be a love dispute.

However, I didn't have a hobby to get his head caught in a stranger's color love, so I just ignored it and tries to pass by ...

"No, Because I don't like you"

I stopped at a familiar voice.

A dignified and beautiful, but somehow inorganic and freezing cold voice.

It was a girl's voice that I knew well.

When you know each other, you can't leave the other person alone in such situations.

I headed for the voice.

The place was unpopular, shaded by trees.

Secretly, I looked around that what's going on.

The familiar voice was my "fiancé", Airisa Yukishiro.

And one persistently clinging to that "fiancée" is ...

One is my senior.

(If my memory is correct ... It's the ace of the soccer club.)

I remembered seeing the award being given at the morning assembly or something.

He is a person whose name has recently come up in conversation with Soichiro and Sei.

The name is Umihara.

"Well! Which side do you not like ? I don't think i am that bad ..."

"Overall, everything"

Airisa cut his words off in between.

And the umihara ... looks a little frustrated.

"Well, don't say that hard ... I'm sure I'll help you."

"I don't need your help."

"Your father's company is having a hard time running right now, right?"

Airisa's expression froze.

The original expressionless expression changes to a Noh mask-like expression.

(Noh mask meaning)

"Because my dad is a member of the city council. I'm sure it will be useful for you ..."

"no thanks!"

Airisa throw the words away, and she turns her heels back and tries to leave.　

However, the senpai grabbed that arm.

"Please let go .... I'll tell the teacher."

"Wait, wait. Let's talk a little more ..."

I couldn't leave her alone any longer.

"She hates you."

When I came out, I blamed the senpai with a strong tone.

I approaches while staring at the eyes of the senpai.

"Ah? Who are you ... it has nothing to do with you...."

He distorted his expression in a bad way.

For the time being, he seemed to be aware that he is forcing himself.

"As a classmate, I can't leave her alone .... Why don't you let go?"

I says so and approached him ...

The senpai looked a little away.

He was a unexpectedly weak person.

"Don't get in the way of your senpai."

With that said, Umihara reached out to push my body.

I didn't have the courage to hit him.

However, I waa scared when approached.

It was an action because of human      psychology.

I grabbed his hand strongly.

Then lightly twist it up.

"I ..."

Umihara frowned in pain.

With that pain, he let go of the hand that was holding Airisa.

And Airisa hid behind me.

I let go of the Umihara.

"You ... what's your name?"

Frustrated, Umihara asked me.

There is no reason to be afraid, frightened, or hidden, so I answered honestly.

"I'm Yuzuru Takasegawa."

"... Takasegawa, hey, I'll remember."

I threw him away and left Umihara to escape.

After that, I relaxed my shoulders.

"... That, Takasegawa-san"

Airisa tended to be reluctant and called out to me with a frightened expression.

Then she bowed her head.

"……I apologize for the inconvenience"

"No, don't worry. Rather than that ... I wonder if I should'nt have intervane "

Airisa seems to hate being intervened in her own circumstances.

That's why I wanted to just look at the situation if possible.

However, I couldn't resist force, so I decided to intervene.

"No ... I was really in trouble, so I was saved."

"Well, then ... well, I can't say i am happy. It was a disaster."

"... I'm okay, but ... is Takasegawa fine ?"

Airisa worriedly said to me.

Well, I tilts my head as to what it means ...

Immediately I understood, what was the point.

Perhaps I've caught the attention of Umihara.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. I can't do much about that. He seems like a weak type ... at best, I'll tell my parents."

"That's ... isn't it difficult? That person, dad ... Isn't he a powerful person in that line? And surely ... he was the ace of the soccer club, right?"

"Well, he's a celebrity."

But ...

"That person originally has a bad reputation."

"……Really?"

"It doesn't seem that the soccer team members like him much."

I've heard my classmates talk s.

Well, originally I didn't want to hear much about people's bad words ...

However, he was relatively famous.

"And it's also famous as verbal demon."

"Verbal demon ?"

"Recently, my female friends seems to have been involved. It was annoying."

The female friends were Ayaka Tachibana and Chiharu Uenishi.

Maybe he wanted to improve his position by making a cute first grader, a little good girl, a lover ...

"It seems that he was forcing it."

"... Are they all right?"

"Ah, a friend broke in. I heard that they had some trouble,but not bad as now. they must have set him off."

The friend was Soichiro Satake.

At that time, I thought that he was quite enthusiastic, such as forcibly urging the child of Tachibana and Uminishi to associate and having a fight to Satake.

Apparently, he was just a naive pampered son.　　

When talking about family affairs, you should at least remember not only your own "house" but also the "house" of others.

"Are you really okay?"

"Just let it go .... But if anything happens, tell me."

"……Okay"

Airisa nodded with an uneasy expression somewhere.

Well, three days later.

lunch break.

"Hey, Takasegawa .... Senior Umihara is calling you. Also, Yukishiro."

I was approached by a soccer member in the same class.

I tilted my head, wondering what the matter is.

However, there was no doubt that it was related to the matter the other day.

"Are you okay? Takasegawa .... that person, Umihara, was frustrated."

Anxiously my classmate asked.

I fluttered my hand and said brightly.

"That's bad. Maybe it was me who annoyed him.... please don't let it bother yourself."

"No, we're good."

Don't worry, I told the soccer team boy.

Then I turned my gaze toward Airisa.

It seems that she was also contacted.

Although she was always expressionless, her eyes seemed to be shaking with a little anxiety.

Then I turned his gaze toward the classroom door.

With a frustrated expression on his face, I can see Umihara with his arms crossed.

I decided to do things as comfortably as possible and not to bother Airisa.
