Title: The Sakuraba-kun That Can’t be Cruel\n
“Aa! I can’t do it! It’s impossible!”(Yuunagi)\n
That day after school.\n
As soon as I entered the classroom, Yuunagi let out a loud complaint. Her voice, which was normally composed and melodious, was noisy and tinged with frustration.\n
“Naruse Honoka-san. An incredible girl….I mean she’s quiet, cute, and has a good personality….That is certainly true……..but…..I will absolutely not tolerate it! Since I don’t completely understand what’s going on, I can’t really do anything about it, but still!”(Yuunagi)\n
As Yuunagi covered her face with her palms, presumably in a bad mood, she sat down in a nearby seat. Her usual charm had completely disappeared and was replaced with a combination of displeasure and a pouting face.\n
Even so, she still seemed to be extraordinarily beautiful. As expected of the incredible beauty Yuunagi.\n
“And this kind of conversation is exactly why I didn’t want to come meet you.”(Sakuraba)\n
“No! You have to hear me out! If I tried to hold these feelings in, I would break down and not know what to do, so you have to listen.”(Yuunagi)\n
“In the first place, what feelings are you even talking about?”(Sakuraba)\n
As I asked this, Yuunagi deflated. She broke her posture and laid her face flat on the desk. In a faint voice, she weakly responded.\n
“……..Jealousy……And anxiety.”(Yuunagi)\n
“Anxiety……So I guess even Yuunagi-san can get anxious huh.”(Sakuraba)\n
“Of course I’m anxious! I’m really really worried you know! I mean during lunch break I was on the verge of crying so many times from hearing you guys talk!”(Yuunagi)\n
“That’s a complete exaggeration.”(Sakuraba)\n

Yuunagi’s expression distorted as she raised her face from the table, letting out a sudden shout. Surprised by the emotion in her voice, I instinctively flinched.\n
“I’m telling you, it’s not an exaggeration! Seeing you get close to other girls like this…I really can’t bear to watch! Thinking that you’ll end up liking someone else……It makes me incredibly sad.”(Yuunagi)\n
“Ahh, so you really were glaring at Naruse-san. She was really scared, you know.”(Sakuraba)\n
“I’m trying to reflect on that….But still…..I mean it’s not like I have the right to get between you two, anyway. And I also want to be able to accept the relationships you treasure, but something about it just makes me so miserable.”(Yuunagi)\n
Holding her head while trying to sort through her thoughts, Yuunagi said this.\n
But, as I thought, Yuunagi really is a sincere and serious person. To be honest, I thought she would express her complaints more, but right now she just seems to be sulking about the current situation.\n
My intent of coming here had been to scold her a little bit, but, after seeing her current state, I only felt apologetic and couldn’t bring myself to reprimand her. No, to be precise, in this situation I’m being a much worse person, so I shouldn’t even be scolding her in the first place. That’s just the kind of person I am. So even if I said, “You should stop,” it would just be a pain for the both of us.\n
“…..There’s one correction I want to make.”(Sakuraba)\n
Instead of sitting down, I opted to lean my weight against the desk. I moved my gaze to rest directly on Yuunagi’s. Her eyes, which were also focused on me, seemed to be tearing up.\n
“I don’t think Naruse-san is romantically interested in me.”(Sakuraba)\n
“She is! That girl definitely likes you, Sakuraba-kun.”(Yuunagi)\n
“I mean we’re just friends that talk to each other about the books we like. I do think that we are pretty close, though.”(Sakuraba)\n
“No, I’m certain. Those are definitely the eyes of a maiden in love.”(Yuunagi)\n
What is she even talking about……\n
Regardless, it surprises me that both Yuunagi and Kazuma are so quick to connect every little thing to romance. Are both of them you guys really that interested in love?\n
“Well if you’re saying it isn’t love then I’ll go ahead and ask….What do you think caused you and Naruse-san to get along so well?”(Yuunagi)\n
“Hmmm? ….Well I mean we’re on good terms because she’s a library committee member and I go to the library quite frequently. We’ve had quite a few opportunities to talk, you know.”(Sakuraba)\n

“Incorrect! The correct answer is: You helped Naruse-san who was about to fall from a stepladder while sorting through the bookshelves.”(Yuunagi)\n
Without any hesitation, Yuunagi said this with a hint of pride in her voice.\n
Still….\n
“Did something like that really happen?”(Sakuraba)\n
“It did. Two months ago. And on top of that, after saving her, you even helped helped her sort the books. Ever since then Naruse-san has been calling out to you more and more frequently. Without a doubt, that was the case.”(Yuunagi)\n
‘Without a doubt,’ huh….\nYuunagi’s voice was filled with confidence and conviction.\n
But, even if, for the sake of argument, that was true….\n
“Why do you even know something like that?”(Sakuraba)
\n“Well I mean, I saw it.”(Yuunagi)\n
“You did? How?”(Sakuraba)\n
“Well, two months ago was the period where I was stalki- no, um, watching over Sakuraba-kun. I just happened to be at that small library and just coincidentally saw that incident.”(Yuunagi)\n
“For the time being, I’m marking you down as a dangerous person.”(Sakuraba)\n
“Th-, There’s no helping it. That was the only thing I could do you know!”(Yuunagi)\n
“I mean, even if I didn’t really talk to you, I think it would’ve been fine if you just called out to me.”(Sakuraba)\n
“I-, I didn’t know what to say.”(Yuunagi)\n
It seems that Yuunagi is surprisingly quite timid.\n
“Anyways, when you go with Naruse-san to the bookstore her feelings will probably all come rushing out.”(Yuunagi)\n
I felt a little, really just a little, affection for Yuunagi, so I sat down in the seat besides her and talked to her.\n

“Well, I don’t have any romantic feelings for Naruse-san, so, even if she confessed to me, I wouldn’t go out with her.”(Sakuraba)\n
For some reason that even I’m not aware of, I went out of my way to express this to Yuunagi.\n
“Really?”(Yuunagi)\n
“Yep. Well I say that but I wasn’t intending to date anyone in the first place, regardless of who they were. Of course, that included you too.”(Sakuraba) [Long TL note at bottom]\n
“…..”\n
“…..”\n
“Sakuraba-kun?”(Yuunagi)\n
“So…Well…I don’t really think you have to worry so much about me going out with someone else.”(Sakuraba)\n
But, if I had to guess, the reason I said all these things is probably related to my discomfort at the sad expression that has plagued her all day. It really doesn’t fit her. Even if I don’t have any romantic feelings for her, I still don’t think it’s good for such a sad expression to be on a wonderful girl like Yuunagi’s face.\n
“Sakuraba-kun-”(Yuunagi)\n
“Wh- What?”(Sakuraba)\n
“Daisuki!”(Yuunagi) [TLN: I left it in because it feels more correct and anyone reading this should already know what it means. If not it basically just means I love you.]\n
“Hey! Quiet down! Your voice is too loud! Someone’s going to hear you know!”(Sakuraba)\n
“I love you! Sakuraba-kun! I really love you!”(Yuunagi)\n
As she continued to confess her love for me, Yuunagi snuggled up against me. It was the first time I had ever been in close contact with a girl before, so my heart began to pound like crazy.\n
“I’ll tell everyone! I’ll tell everyone that I love you!”(Yuunagi)\n
“Hey! I told you, you can’t do that! And get away from me! Immediately!”(Sakuraba)\n
“I don’t want to—! It’s fine because we’re dating right?”(Yuunagi)\n
“That’s also a no! I’m going to get angry you know.”(Sakuraba)\n
“Then get angry! I’m releasing every last bit of my emotions today!”(Yuunagi)\n
“S—T—O—P—RIGHT NOW——!”(Sakuraba)\n
At that time, I should’ve really been more stubborn in turning her down.\n
It has almost been 5 days since we’ve started dating, and I was already thinking about such things.\n
————————————————————————-\n
Long TLN: This was kinda shit to translate. I couldn’t tell whether he was trying to say I wasn’t planning to go out with anyone including Yuunagi or whether he was trying to say I wasn’t planning to go out with anyone because of Yuunagi. Because it fits with the rest of the lines better I chose to go with the first one but idk. The line is “うん。と言うか、僕はそもそも誰とも付き合わないつもりだったんだ。もちろん君ともね” if you know anything please lmk.\n
Other stuff: Finals coming up soon + I have some other stuff so idk if I will actually end up translating that much. But also December break Gimai Seikatsu V4 comes out so YAAAAYYYYY. That means Imma be rereading and then reading translated V4 so don’t expect anything thx XD.\n
