Ryu then put his phone back in his pocket and walked towards the cafeteria.
"Honey, what do you think of the school our little baby is going to attend?"
In the cafeteria, a Slavic woman wearing a beautiful red dress was talking to a man in front of her. The man was very handsome with a muscular body and was wearing formal clothing.
They were Yamaguchi Ryu's parents, Yamaguchi Satou and Katarina. They had just finished attending the parent orientation with the school principal and went to the cafeteria to relax with Ryu.
"From all the facilities, activities, rankings, and teacher quality, I have no regrets sending Ryu to this school," said Yamaguchi Satou casually.
Katarina nodded in agreement, everything seemed to be good.
"However, despite the low bullying cases in this school, the principal said that there are still a few cases. What if..."
"I understand your concern, dear. But I believe our child will not be bullied or become a bully. Do you trust our child? Don't doubt him too much," said Yamaguchi Satou, interrupting Katarina's worries.
While Katarina was talking about her concerns, her husband interrupted her and reassured her that their child would be fine here.
"Look, there's our child walking towards us. He seems to be doing well with his surroundings," said Yamaguchi Satou, looking towards another direction.
Katarina also turned her head to see where her husband was looking, and it was indeed their son, Ryu, walking towards them alone.
"But where is Ryu going? Didn't he see us earlier?" Katarina was surprised that Ryu suddenly turned to the right.
Then she followed Ryu's gaze and saw that it was his senior classmates who were gathering.
Ryu remembered where the cafeteria was located from the map he had seen earlier. As he arrived at the cafeteria and saw his parents, his attention was drawn to the seniors gathered around a large table. He recognized some of them. As he looked away, he was called by one of the seniors he knew, Nakamura Yui-senpai.
Yui, who felt bad for leaving him earlier, was now with her friends, including Rina-senpai, Takashi-senpai, Tarou-senpai, Miyuki-senpai, and some other seniors whom Ryu didn't know.
"Hey, Ryu!" Yui called out.
Ryu turned his head toward the voice and saw Yui-senpai. He also noticed the seniors he had met earlier.
He immediately walked over to them and greeted them all. "Hi, Yui-senpai, hi Rina-senpai, hi Takashi-senpai, hi Tarou-senpai, hi Miyuki-senpai, hi, other senpai," he said, greeting everyone he knew and didn't know.
As Ryu arrived, the others also greeted him.
"Hi, new student who bumped into Yui-chan, you look healthy," Rina-senpai said, breaking the ice.
Ryu and Yui smiled shyly at the comment. The other seniors were confused, and they all looked at Yui with questioning faces.
Yui's expression turned dark, so she looked at Ryu with hope and finally spoke. "Come sit here, Ryu-chan," she said, smiling beautifully and tapping the empty seat next to her.
Ryu noticed and walked toward the chair and said, "Excuse me," before sitting down, as they were all his seniors.
After Ryu sat next to Yui, she immediately asked her friends a question.
Kobayashi Rina was currently giggling while watching her best friend playfully pretending to fix a tissue holder. In reality, she was using her phone to record this moment. Fortunately, no one noticed the strange position of the tissue holder and her phone's position.
"So... let Yamaguchi Ryu-chan explain," said Yui-senpai with a playful smile, tapping Ryu's shoulder.
"Huh, whaaat?" Ryu, who was being teased by Yui-senpai, was completely lost. What kind of script development was this? He was being pranked by Yui-senpai!
"Ahahaha. So, it's like this..." With a face full of embarrassment and a forced smile, Ryu finally spoke briefly about what had happened with Yui-senpai earlier.
Yui also played along, nodding and saying "yes" with a smile.
Yui was thankful that Ryu didn't mention how he gently hugged and cleaned her hands, which made Yui's face turn as red as a tomato at that moment.
Then Rina, with her mischievous face, started teasing them again.
"Moooooo, Ryu-Kun, why didn't you mention how you hugged and gently touched Yui-chan's hand?" Rina said with a pouty face.
Rina's words startled all of the senpais gathered there.
Hearing this... made their expressions darken. They had tried their best to cover up the embarrassing incident. It was truly exposed by Kobayashi Rina!!!
Yui-senpai looked down with a red face and an angry heart towards Rina. THAT WOMANNNN, SHE WAS TRULY A MISFORTUNE!
Ryu's current action was just facing the other way with a slight redness on his face. Then he looked around and found the other senpai also looking at him with curiosity and eagerness.
Then he looked at Rina-senpai and saw her smiling mischievously at him and winking with one eye.
Ryu smiled awkwardly. THAT WOMANNNN!!!
"YUII-CHAN, EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN YOU AND RYU TO EVERYONE, DON'T MAKE US ALL DIE OF CURIOSITY!" then Miyuki-senpai, who didn't know what was going on, spoke to Yui-senpai in a loud voice.
The other senpai also added some words of agreement.
Kobayashi Rina, in her heart, was full of joy earlier. Her plan had succeeded!
Yui, with her cute expression and beautiful smile, looked back at Ryu.
Ryu also looked at Yui-senpai's eyes.
They both stared at each other, ignoring the others.
"So, earlier..."
"NO NO, DON'T YOU TELL IT, RYU!!!" when Ryu had just spoken, he was immediately stopped by Miyuki-senpai.
Everyone nodded in agreement and urged Yui to speak up and tell them what had happened.
Nakamura Yui, who had resigned herself to the situation, finally explained in quite detail about what had happened earlier, and there were some exaggerations added by Rina. Yui couldn't deny it because all her friends believed Rina, so she just forced a smile and agreed, adding to the script that Rina-chan had made.
As she told the story, Yui's and Yamaguchi Ryu's faces had turned very red. Rina and the other senpais finally let them go because they felt sorry for them.
Finally, they changed the topic and talked to Ryu, who was easy to talk to. He wasn't aloof or excessive, and he was very relaxed with the other senpais, except for Yui-senpai. he seemed a little nervous with her
They chatted and laughed together for quite a while.
When they finished the topic, Rina gave Miyuki a nudge to leave them alone. Miyuki understood it well and finally signaled to the others to quietly leave them alone.
"Sorry, everyone, I and Ito have other business to attend to. We'll excuse ourselves," said two senpais who immediately left.
"Darn it, Miyuki, Tarou, and I were already messaged by the coach. We have to go," Takashi pretended to take out his phone and then spoke.
Yui seemed to understand this development and looked at Rina-chan with a grim expression.
"R I N A ? ? ? ? ?" Yui tilted her head to look at Rina.
"Haiyaaaahh, I remember I still have to fill out the uniform retrieval data, bye bye."
After Rina-chan ran away, Yui gave up and looked down. Now, it was just the two of them again.
However, this seemed like an opportunity. Yui felt like she didn't want to disappoint Ryu and kept talking to him for quite a while.
"Yui-senpai, I received your greetings from earlier that Miyuki-senpai gave to me. Thank you, I'm doing fine," Ryu said.
"Hah? What greetings?" Yui was confused. She was in a hurry earlier and didn't remember leaving any greetings for Miyuki-chan.
"Eh? Don't you remember, Yui-senpai?" Ryu was also puzzled.
BUT YUI KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED, THAT DAMN MIYUKI!!! SHE MUST HAVE DONE THAT!!!
Not wanting to disappoint Ryu, she said, "Oh no, I remember, I remember clearly. You're welcome, I'm glad you're okay."
The situation became awkward again for a moment, but Ryu found another topic to discuss.
After talking for a while, Yui excused herself to leave.
"Sorry Ryu, I think I have to go now. Thank you for keeping me company. If you ever have trouble in the future, you can talk to me."
"It's okay, Yui-senpai, thank you too for keeping me company. I will definitely let you know."
"Oh, by the way, would you like to add my contact number to make it easier?"
"Sure, of course." Then Ryu took out his phone and handed it over to Yui after unlocking it.
"Th-thank you." After adding her contact to Ryu's phone, she thought she was just being a flirt, so she thanked Ryu and turned around to leave with a blush on her face.
Yamaguchi Satou and Katarina who witnessed the development silently smiled.
"Our little baby has grown up," Katarina said with a very beautiful smile.
