On the other side.
Ichinose, following Kobashi Yume, arrived at the back of the gymnasium, somewhat helpless.
"Really, Yume-chan, what kind of matter requires us to come to such a deserted place?"
"Actually..."
Kobashi Yume lifted her eyes and glanced at Ichinose.
She hunched her shoulders, somewhat hesitant.
"Yuki-chan... likes Hikki."
Upon hearing this.
Ichinose was suddenly a bit shocked, as if doubting whether she had heard wrong.
"Hold on, you're saying Yuki-chan likes Hikki?"
"Mm..."
Seeing Kobashi Yume nod her head, Ichinose became even more flustered, finding it hard to accept.
"No, no way, right? I see Yuki-chan usually doesn't show much, and she rarely talk to Hikki, how could she possibly like Hikki..."
"Because..."
Kobashi Yume said somewhat guiltily: "Yuki-chan is just that kind of person, she rarely shows it, but she really does like Hikki."
In the class.
Himeno Yuki usually gives off a gentle, frail impression.
She rarely speaks out.
When encountering any problems.
Himeno Yuki usually bears it silently.
She's a girl who appears weak on the outside but is strong on the inside!
Class B takes good care of her, and they will actively help her share some matters.
Although Ichinose also takes care of her, as the leader of Class B, she can't look after every aspect, so it's normal that she can't see it.
Except for Kobashi Yume, who gets along better with Himeno Yuki.
Perhaps.
Not a single person in Class B could see that this gentle girl was actually silently in love with a boy.
And.
This boy is now dating the class leader.
It's really too pitiful!
Saying this.
Kobashi Yume became even more guilty.
Actually.
She wasn't very clear either.
Why she wanted to tell Ichinose about this matter.
The two of them are already dating.
There's clearly no chance anymore.
Just waiting until after school to silently comfort Himeno Yuki, that would be the best method.
Telling Ichinose about this matter alone.
Apart from causing her trouble, what use is it?
Clearly not letting Ichinose know about this matter would be the best outcome.
But.
Kobashi Yume just couldn't help it.
She felt that Ichinose was actually a bit mean, her relationship with Hikki wasn't that good, and she spoke less in class than they did.
She was just saved by Hikigaya a few times.
And then she fell in love with Hikki.
That was clearly just Hikigaya being gentle, if you had to say it, Hikigaya had helped them out quite a bit too.
And.
Even if she confessed, that would be fine.
But she actually didn't give up and continued to cling to Hikigaya, not respecting Hikki's opinion.
In short.
She felt that Ichinose's methods were somewhat improper.
Too mean.
Yuki were clearly chasing Hikigaya first!
"This..??."
Ichinose felt a bit dizzy.
If that's the case, Himeno Yuki might not have a headache, but took leave from school because of her.
"Exactly..."
Ichinose said with a complex expression: "When did it start..."
"I'm not very clear either."
Kobashi Yume became even more guilty.
She felt like she was also doing something not quite right, as if she was deliberately causing trouble for Ichinose and Hikki.
"It was probably before the paired exam, I'm not very clear about the specifics."
"That long..."
Thinking of Himeno Yuki's gentle yet strong face, Ichinose felt a bit complicated:
"How could it be that long, if that's the case, why didn't she tell Hikki."
"This..."
Kobashi Yume pursed her lips, somewhat bitter.
She finally said the words that had been held in her heart.
"Perhaps, not everyone is as brave as you, Honami-chan, or as excellent as you are," she said.
As she spoke, Kobashi Yume's eyes were faintly red.
She couldn't bear it.
She would do what she wanted to do, say what she liked, and even if she felt some shame, she would face all difficulties head-on.
In the eyes of the girls, Ichinose was too dazzling.
They might not understand.
The mediocre girls, how much struggle they would have in their hearts.
Every time they wanted to speak up, they would want to retreat in their hearts.
They were afraid of ruining this unexpected relationship, so they couldn't take a step forward.
But Ichinose always managed to forge ahead.
No matter who the other party was, as long as it was wrong, Ichinose could confront them.
"So you're saying..." Ichinose pressed her palm against her forehead, her expression somewhat pained
"So it really is because of me that Yuki-chan took a leave today."
"Well..." Kobashi Yume also pursed her lips and said, "I'm not very clear about that."
At least, Himeno Yuki was fine in the morning.
Although she didn't talk much, she always had a smile on her face.
But now, she chose to take a leave from school because of Ichinose is dating Hikigaya.
Although Himeno Yuki was an excellent student with perfect attendance, just taking a day off wouldn't have any impact.
But, to take a leave from school because of a disappearance, both of them could guess.
That strong Himeno Yuki, how much pain she must be in at this moment to make such a decision.
She was always like this.
No matter what difficulties she faced, she would choose to bear them alone.
While people admired her, they also felt sorry for her.
"Is that so?" Ichinose pursed her lips and shook her head somewhat helplessly, then smiled again.
"Thank you, Yume-chan, after school, I'll go see Yuki-chan."
"Mm." Kobashi Yume nodded more guiltily, "Please, Honami-chan."
Whether it was Himeno Yuki or Ichinose, both of them were very gentle people.
Knowing that Himeno Yuki had always liked Hikigaya, and even liked him earlier than she did, she didn't know what choice Ichinose would make.
Thinking about this, Kobashi Yume felt even more guilty.
She really hoped that Himeno Yuki could be stronger, and it wasn't without hope of victory.
"Then let's go back quickly."
Ichinose took Kobashi Yume's hand, and the two of them walked towards the teaching building.
Although, Himeno Yuki also liked Hikigaya.
But for such a long time, she hadn't confessed, so she obviously didn't like him that much.
At least, that's how it seemed in Ichinose's eyes.
If she really liked him, why didn't she confess?
If she didn't say it, how could the other party possibly know, especially when the other party was Hikigaya.
Himeno Yuki obviously didn't seem to like him very much.
In that case, as long as she gave good guidance, as long as she explained things clearly, Ichinose believed that she could definitely resolve this contradiction.
Although she felt a bit uncomfortable and felt a bit sorry for Himeno Yuki, it wasn't a big deal.
As long as she talked to Himeno Yuki properly after school, it would be fine.
When the two of them returned to the classroom, they found that Hikigaya was not in the classroom.
