for Advance Chapter
"Good morning, Yui-chan."
When Yui returned to the classroom, it was Yu who greeted her.
She had arrived at school while Takuya and Yui were there.
Yuu, who had been killing time by playing with his smartphone, put it away and smiled at the fact that he had met the love of his life.
"..."
However, in contrast to Yu, Yui doesn't even return the greeting and just sits down in her seat.
"ignore?"
Despite his attitude, he continues to talk to her, but she doesn't even look at him and acts as if she doesn't even acknowledge his existence.
"Takuya isn't here either, but his bag is there so he must be at school. Morning practice hasn't started yet, so I wonder why. Yui is his girlfriend, so surely she knows?"
Yu whispered softly so that only Yui could hear.
"I... I don't know."
Yui retorts that even if you're dating someone, it's not like you know everything about them.
"Finally, they responded."
However, Yu chuckles, realizing that it was a bad move to argue back then.
No matter how you look at it, the reason Yui just denied it is because she wants to hide the fact that she was secretly meeting with Takuya.
"...Oh, Takuya came back late too."
When Takuya noticed Yu, he raised his hand slightly in greeting, to which Yu replied in the same way.
"..."
Takuya still seems to be on good terms with Yu, unaware of the situation Yui finds herself in.
(I know it's my fault for not saying anything, but I wish Takkun would at least notice...)
Although Yui was a little annoyed by the two of them, she took out her smartphone and acted as if she had no intention of talking to Yu.
"It's alright, Yui-chan. Is that all?"
However, Yuu continues to talk to Yui and seems to be having fun alone.
Yui wants to ask someone for help, but it's difficult.
Even though Yui showed some signs of displeasure, her classmates knew that the two had been good friends for a long time and only thought it was just flirting.
However, if Yui were to ask for help, there's no telling what Yu might do.
"Please don't mind me for now..."
Having just returned to the classroom feeling happy about her time with Takuya, Yui does not want to tarnish that feeling as much as possible.
In the past, spending time with Yu was enjoyable in a different way than spending time with Takuya. Yu had been friends with Takuya longer than he had, so it was easier to be together.
But right now, I didn't even want to exchange words like this.
However, if you ignore it, the aftermath is scary.
"Is spending time with Takuya that important to you?"
"Of course."
A boyfriend who you have feelings for and are dating. Of course the time you spend with him is important.
Rather than being threatened and forced to do things like this, she regrets that she should not have given in when he threatened her and secretly filmed her kissing Takuya.
Even if the photo had been made public at the time, it might have been seen as a pure relationship between a man and a woman of marriageable age, and if it had been made public to the public, it might have only caused a minor uproar.
It's true that Yui does have a lot of troublesome fans, but she regrets that things would have been better than her current situation.
It felt as though she was being violated again and again against her will, and that her existence was being forcibly engraved into her. It was extremely tiring to continue enduring such pleasure that if she let her guard down even for a moment, she would forget Takuya was there.
"...Then I'll overwrite that time."
"Huh?"
Having a bad feeling about what it meant, Yui instinctively looked towards him.
"An empty classroom. That's where you usually eat your lunch with Takuya. And I think you were there just now too."
"... Why, that..."
"Because I was the one who told you about that place."
When Takuya and Yui first started dating, he asked if there was anywhere on campus where they could be together without being seen by others, and I told him a few places. At that time, I told him that this was the best place to eat lunch.
"So, come to that place after school. I'll be waiting."
A call from Yu. There was no way she wouldn't understand what it meant, and just at that moment Yui was about to reply, "Please stop that."
"Oh, Yui-chan. I found this at the bookstore on my way home from school yesterday."
A female classmate who seemed to have just arrived at school spoke to Yui.
In her hands is a magazine with Yui on the cover. Looking at it, Yui remembers that it was released yesterday.
"She's really cute in real life, but this Yui-chan is just so cute and lovely!"
Hazuki Yui shows her natural, unadorned self in her everyday life, while Shimotsuki Yui appears on the cover of a magazine professionally photographed and made up, in a good-looking outfit, with the assumption that she will be seen by others.
The classmates get excited and start talking to each other, saying how cute they both are, and Yui loses the chance to say something back to Yu.
As a friend and as fan service, Yui couldn't bring herself to end the conversation with her classmate, so she continued the conversation.
