Title: The Yuunagi-san Who Finally Realized\n
“I want to be alone with Sakuraba-kun!”(Yuunagi)\n
This was how Yuunagi began the conversation.\n
School had ended, and the two of us were in the classroom. Everyone had already left, so it was just the two of us.\n
“That’s already happening right now, isn’t it?”(Sakuraba)\n
“No, this is different! I want to go on a date with Sakuraba-kun! One where no one gets in our way!”(Yuunagi)\n
Yuunagi squared her shoulders in determination and declared this. \n
Based on the contents of the message, I had a feeling that she might be like this, but she really is in a bad mood.\n
Well, that isn’t really something that matters to me.\n
“Don’t want to. If the two of us went out alone, then we’d instantly be suspected.”(Sakuraba)\n
“Muuuu…..”(Yuunagi)\n
Yuunagi’s shoulders slumped.\n
Both her hands were clenched into fists, and they trembled and shook.\n
I found myself bordering on the edge of spoiling her again.\n
But, of course, I didn’t do anything like that.\n
I had already decided that I would refuse all of her unreasonable demands.\n
No matter how cute Yuunagi is, I will not waver.\n
“…….Hm? Sakuraba-kun, what did you say just now?”(Yuunagi)\n
“What?”(Sakuraba)\n
“The reason why you didn’t want to go on a date, what did you say it was?”(Yuunagi)\n
Yuunagi just asked me a strange question.\n
The reason she was all droopy was precisely because she had heard what I had said, right?\n
“It’s because they’ll figure it out. That’s why something like a date…..”(Sakuraba)\n
“So! That means that, fundamentally, you aren’t really against the idea of the two of us hanging out alone, right?”(Yuunagi) \n
[TLN: Tsundere exposed]\n
“Ah.”(Sakuraba)\n
I was careless……\n
“Sakuraba-kuuuuunnn.”(Yuunagi)\n
“Uwaa! Hey, don’t come over here! Don’t cling to me!”(Sakuraba)\n
“No! Sakuraba-kun, I love you!”(Yuunagi)\n
I forcibly tore off Yuunagi, who was clinging to my arm, and jumped out of the way, trying to keep my distance.\n
Ah, jeez, why me of all people.\n
“This is fine isn’t it? Nee, Sakuraba-kun?”(Yuunagi) [TLN: Nee sounds cuter]\n
“…….I don’t like this.”(Sakuraba)\n
“Liar!”(Yuunagi)\n
“Ah, mou, I told you to not come over here.”(Sakuraba)\n
What on Earth are we even doing….\n
Even after the tension had settled, Yuunagi was still shaking her head and grinning to herself.\n
Unlike how she was just a bit earlier, she seemed to be in a very good mood.\n
It’s true that, at a fundamental level, I don’t really mind going out somewhere with just Yuunagi.\n
If we’re together, I’m sure that regardless of where we go and regardless of what we do, we’ll manage to have fun one way or another.\n
But that isn’t because I like her or anything like that.\n
It’s just that I feel like Yuunagi is so bright and cheerful to the point where I doubt I’ll ever get bored when I’m with her.\n
Of course, I’m not going to tell the person in question that, though.\n
“Hmm….But, I still really want to be alone with just the two of us.”(Yuunagi)\n
“……..Why’d you suddenly bring that up again.”(Sakuraba)\n
“It isn’t sudden! I’ve been thinking about this for a long time!”(Yuunagi)\n
“You never said anything about it up until now, though.”(Sakuraba)\n
“Well, recently, I’ve just been thinking that I want to be alone with you more and more.”(Yuunagi)\n
“Why? We’ve even reached a point where we can easily talk to each other at school.”(Sakuraba)\n
When I asked her this, Yuunagi’s face morphed into a frown, and she fell silent.\n
Since I had absolutely no idea of what to expect, I just decided to wait without saying a word.\n
“…..It’s because there’s someone in the way.”(Yuunagi)\n
“Someone in the way?”(Sakuraba)\n
“A nuisance! Aah! Mikura-san! Why are you always, always, always! Aaah!”(Yuunagi)\n
She’s as lively as ever.\n
Even though I’m covering my ears, I can still hear her perfectly fine, so I guess I’ll just continue like this for now.\n
But still, did she say Mikura?\n
Why is she getting brought up again?\n
“It isn’t ‘why!’ It’s because of Mikura-san that I can’t be together with you at all!”(Yuunagi) \n
[TLN: There was no dialogue between this and the previous Yuunagi freaking out one okay I checked]\n
“It’s true that recently Mikura-san has been calling out to me a lot, but it isn’t out of any ill will. What you just said isn’t a good thing to say about her.”(Sakuraba)\n
When I answered, Yuunagi stared at me with a dumbfounded gaze.\n
What’s with that look?\n
“I’ve been thinking this for a while, but I wonder if Sakuraba-kun……”(Yuunagi)\n
“Wh-….What?”(Sakuraba)\n
“…..Haa. Well, it doesn’t matter.”(Yuunagi)\n
I felt kind of uncomfortable.\n
But I felt like if I said anything, I would just be digging my own grave, so I decided to keep silent.\n
“Anyway, I just want to flir- Sorry, talk with Sakuraba-kun without anyone else getting in the way.”(Yuunagi)\n
“Then we can just talk by phone right?”(Sakuraba)\n
“I don’t want to! Oh, but talking to each other by phone sounds nice too.”(Yuunagi)\n
“So that’s the end of it then.”(Sakuraba)\n
“Hey! No! I want you to call me next time, but this time I want us to properly meet and talk with each other!”(Yuunagi)\n
“I told you that’s impossible. Even under normal circumstances, you stand out because you’re popular.”(Sakuraba)\n
“Can’t I just disguise myself? I’ll wear sunglasses and a mask!”(Yuunagi)\n
“I don’t want to walk around with someone dressed so suspiciously.”(Sakuraba)\n
“Then what should I do?!”(Yuunagi)\n
Yuunagi was holding her head, making a desperate expression.\n
Overreacting, I see.\n
There isn’t that much to gain from talking with me alone.\n
“….Oh!”(Yuunagi)\n
“Wh- What?”(Sakuraba)\n
Yuunagi suddenly raised her voice.\n
I have a bad feeling about this.\n
“A place where I can be alone with Sakuraba-kun but where other people can’t see us that also is a place that still feels like a date…..In that case…..”(Yuunagi)\n
“…”(Sakuraba)\n
“Yes! Yuunagi Shizuno has come up with a good idea!”(Yuunagi)\n
I got the feeling that, whatever it was, it was most certainly not a good idea.\n

TLN: Sorry I got lazy again, so I’m a day late. And some of the LN series that I wanted to translate got “sniped”(well not sniped cause I never openly declared shit) while I was being lazy/doing piles of work, so yeah. Working on another WN series, though idk if I’ll be motivated enough to finish a chapter.\n
Enough complaining ig there’ll probably be 2 chapters this week since this chapter was sweet enough that I feel like translating more.\n
