Although I said I would show her around the school, I have only been here for about two weeks. I don’t really know that much about the school.

“I just transferred here as well, so I don’t know much about it, okay?”

“Unn, it’s okay, I just wanted to talk to So-chan alone.”

That’s what you really wanted…

“Hey So-chan, I’m better than that womanーーYou’re safer with me, okay?”

Please stop being that clumsy tsundere.

“What do you mean by safer? I’m not in any danger.”

…Not that I don’t feel it, but I’m still alive and Hatsune wouldn’t really try to kill me.

“But if it were me, I would never hurt So-chan, though?”

“No, but I barely remember you…”

“Then why do you call me Yui?”

“Eh……”

It’s because it just feels right, as I told Hatsune, but if I said that to Yui she might say something like, “See, I knew we were bound by a red thread from the past♥” and tie us together in a strange way, so I’ll just lie and get over it.

“No, it’s not only me, but everyone calls you by your first name, right?”

“That’s a lie, I don’t think a girl who likes So-kun would overlook such a thing.”

Wh…I’m sure you’ve only talked to Hatsune a little bit, but have you analyzed her to that extent?

“No, I mean…Momoshizuku is a little long, right? That’s whyーー”

“There is no way So-kun would decide what to call me based on such a trivial reason.”

“Ugh…”

All the excuses were debunked.

“So? What is it?”

“Well, it just felt more comfortable…”

“See, I knew we were bound together by a red thread from the past♥”

Oi, she said exactly what I expected! This must mean that my analytical skills are pretty good, right? If that’s the case, how come every other thing I predicted was wrong?

“Yeah, yeah, let’s show you around the campus as best I can.”

“I told you that was just a bonus.”

When I said this in a low voice, Yui pushed me against the wall and did a kabedon.

“Wh, what are you doingーー”

“You’re mine, so I have to show off my ownership, no?”

Then Yui put her own mouth close to my neck. No, no way…

“S, stop!”

I strongly said so, and pushed her away. Then Yui fell on the ground.

“I, I’m sorry, that was a bit much.”

Saying this, I held out my hand to Yui. Yui then kissed the back of my right hand that I held out. …What!

“What are you doing!?”

“What was that? Trying to play it cool, but you’re not that strong. Not in the past, or now.”

“Wh…”

I know it was an embarrassing line, but please don’t rub salt on my wound.

“Come on, let’s get back to class.”

And Yui went back to the classroom.

“…How can she remember the way she came back, is she a genius?”

I followed Yui into the classroom with that question in mind.
