There was something unsettling about this situation. Yamamoto-san, hiding at the door, looked apologetic, and we just looked at her in shock.
"I was wondering if something had happened between Asagi and Sato-kun... Of course, I knew I shouldn't go, but I just couldn't help but be curious... I'm sorry..."
That's why Yamamoto-san was listening. It's true that if your friend was talking alone with a member of the opposite sex, you would be curious.
However, that member of the opposite sex was me, so there was nothing to be worried about. Whether she knew my thoughts or not, she told me the reason.
"I didn't know what had happened yesterday, but... I heard them talking about going home together, going out to play, and so on. Then, I leaned forward and the sound was made..."
Does she really think that I could take Sasai-san away from her? Or perhaps Sasai thought I was dangerous. If it was the latter, it would be obvious, but Yamamoto didn't sense any wariness towards me.
But even if it was the former, they were probably close friends, so I was just an outsider. So if I was getting in their way, I should have been removed immediately.
"Y-Yamamoto... I, well..."
I started to speak, trying to clear up her misunderstanding. But Yamamoto's words cut me off.
"...Um, Sato-kun, if it's okay... well, do we mind if we talk after Asagi..."
"If you're getting along with Asagi, well... I was thinking maybe you'd talk to me too, not just Asagi... I was thinking about that, um..."
And then her words seemed to lead the conversation in a different direction than I had expected. Just like Sasai, it was a miracle to me that I could talk to a girl like Yamamoto.
"Of course, Sato-kun might not like it, but... I thought maybe, we could become friends... It might be selfish, but..."
Hearing Yamamoto-san's words, Sasai-san looked taken aback. He looked like he understood something, but I couldn't follow what he was saying at all.
Sasai-san began to speak apologetically to Yamamoto-san.
"Maki... I'm sorry, okay? I was the only one who got the chance to talk to Sato-kun, and maybe I didn't think about Maki's feelings... Yeah, I was really selfish."
The way he said it made him think of the conversation with me as a bonus. Normally, I think of that as a punishment game, but there was something wrong with their perception right now.
"N-No way, this is just my selfishness! Because, Asagi... you're the one who wants to get along with Sato-kun, right? But... if it's okay, I want you to let me talk to Sato-kun..."
I know I'm being selfish, Yamamoto continued, but Sasai shook his head.
"No, Maki is always quiet. I've always thought that it's okay for you to express your opinions more, so I don't think it's selfish."
Sasai let out a small sigh, then turned to me, who was struggling to keep up, and began to speak as if asking for a favor.
"Sato-kun, if it's okay... I want you to get along with Maki too. Maki is my best friend, so I think we might get along."
I couldn't understand it, and after trying to digest Sasai's proposal, my head ended up exploding.
"Um, well, Yamamoto-san...?"
Pathetic me finally made eye contact with Yamamoto-san and asked her opinion.
First of all, I wondered if Yamamoto-san's feelings were really directed towards me. Could it be that her friendship with Sasai-san has become unclear as a result of my existence being stirred up?
When Yamamoto-san made eye contact with me, her body seemed to stiffen. But she spoke to me slowly.
"S-Sato-kun, you don't like talking to me... do you? I guess you can't get along with a plain girl like me after all..."
That upward glance was unfair. Yamamoto-san certainly has a quiet feel to her, but she's by no means plain.
Her slightly sleepy eyes were sexy, and I had the image of her as a gentle, beautiful girl. To me, she was definitely an attractive woman.
And just imagining her voluptuous body, visible even through her uniform, makes me want to get an erection. In my original world, her gigantic breasts, which push up her blazer, would undoubtedly be the topic of conversation among the boys in her class.
I can't help but think about her plump, huggable body. But before that, there was something I needed to tell Yamamoto-san.
"Y-Yamamoto-san, if it's okay with you... I'd be happy if we could become friends... Are you okay with me too...?"
Even though it was a very extravagant statement, Yamamoto-san's face turned red in response to my words. The blush spread so quickly that it soon reached her ears.
"Um, well... I'm not very good at this, but please be nice to me..."
The words came out of her trembling lips, as she gently bit them. Even though she looked sexy, she was probably a shy girl.
I wondered if I could become friends with her. From the first time we met, I thought that her personality might be similar to mine, but whether she would have fun being with me was another matter.
