Chapter 21: - June 16 (Tuesday): Morning Train
The next morning.
When I was on the train, Yuika spoke to me as usual.
âGood morning, Onii-San.â
âYo, Yuika.â
I was on the lookout for Kaedezaka, the big-breasted psychopath I met yesterday, but she didnât seem to be around.
It was not like she was going to be following me all year round.
âHuh? Whatâs worrying you again?â
âOh, â¦, Ah, ⦠How did you know?â
âYes. I recognized you right away because your pungent face turned into a scowl.â
âYuika-san. Do you know the word âkindnessâ?â
But this is a good opportunity, isnât it?
If I talk to Yuika about Kaedezaka, I might be able to solve the problem easily.
Because apparently Kaedezaka was doing it for Yuikaâs sake.
⦠No. No, no, no, no.
I should not do that.
In my experience, girls like Kaedezaka were very good at manipulating the people around them.
If I mess with them half-heartedly, I would end up looking like the bad guy.
For now, I think it was best to wait and see what she would do.
For now, letâs talk about something bland.
âThe training period for junior staff ends in June. I was wondering how much more I could do in the next half month.â
âWhat? Iâm going to bring her home in half a month. Isnât that a little early for you?â
âWait a minute.â
âWhere are we gonna wait?â
âNo, thatâs not it. Why are you naturally talking about me taking my junior into my home?â
âBecause youâre always saying you want to have sex with your junior.â
âI donât remember saying a word.â
Yes, you did. You did say that.
Not only Kaedezaka, but also Yuika had this kind of personality.
I had forgiven her because she helped me a lot, but Yuika was also a high school girl and I couldnât let my guard down.
And because she spoke so casually, it seemed to others that she was telling the truth.
I tried to argue with her, but Yuika switched the subject before I could.
âSo â¦, You want your junior to play an active role in the next half a month?â
âYou knew ⦠and you were just messing with me.â
âIâm a girl who knows what sheâs talking about.â
âIf you know what youâre doing, you might want to stop teasing me a little ⦠more.â
âThatâs boring, so I reject it.â
For a while after that, I was chatting with Yuika.
She didnât like it, but one of the great things about her communicative power was that she could get the other person to talk.
Even if I didnât intend to talk about something in particular, just being with Yuika made me talkative.
I didnât like the fact that she always looked down on me. â¦
That was when something happened.
My phone vibrated with an incoming call.
âWhat is it?â
I was sure I had already sent a message on LINE to Otozui earlier.
It was unlikely that my family would contact me at this hour.
Could it be an urgent business call?
But the message that had arrived was from Kaedezaka, the big-breasted psychopathic woman.
â¦. Ugh. Seriously?
Iâve got a bad feeling about this.
But if I ignore it, Iâm afraid of the consequences.
Letâs just open it.
When I reluctantly opened the message, I found a ridiculous image attached to it.
It was a picture of a Kaedezaka with her shirt unbuttoned, showing a close-up of her cleavage.
âHee!â
I couldnât help but scream, and Yuika tilted her head.
âWhatâs going on?â
âNoâ¦, no â¦, n-nothing serious â¦â
âSomething happened.â
I received a message on my phone.
ââThis is Kaedezaka. I sent you a picture of me for Sasamiya-san. I hope youâll use it as your wallpaper.â
Youâre an idiot, woman!
What would you do if someone else saw this picture?
There was more to the message.
ââBy the way, Sasamiya-sanâs life might be over if other people find out about the picture I just showed you. Iâm really, really looking forward to it and worried about it. â¡â¡â¡â¡â
That Kaedezaka person sent me a picture just as I was talking to Yuika.
I was angry at Kaedezaka for harassing me yesterday, but I couldnât do anything about it now.
I didnât know it was happening, but I saw Yuika stretching up to take a peek at my phone.
Of course, I hurriedly hid it from her because I didnât want her to see it.
âHey, whatâs the deal?â
âL-Letâs see. Yes, this is it.â
âWhich one?â
âI think my friend ⦠also wanted to show me her ⦠peaches.â
I couldnât find the words right away, so I compared her cleavage to a peach.
I have the worst sense of humor.
However, Yuika pointed out.
âItâs not in season yet in June, is it?â
âYeah, â¦, Itâs an early ripening variety.â
âI see. So itâs time to eat.â
After saying that much, I held my head in my hands, wondering what I was allowing a high school girl to say.
â⦠Iâm sorry.â
âWhy are you apologizing?â
â âAfterwordââ
Next time, Otonzui is in trouble! Thatâs when Sasamiya arrives!
