Chapter 5: Yuzuki Minato won’t turn back

Part 2

Hmm… She had a point. 

Maybe my thinking became constricted by being with her. 

“And if that’s the case, how do I set hypotheses? If I might be an irregularity, then so are the others. In the end, is there anything reliable?”

“I thought it was obvious. I mean, your logic until now makes no sense.”

“Eh… Really?”

I had thought that in order to understand her ailment, crossing out possibilities was the way… 

“What if the condition was not in others, but herself? Bitches are bitches, the reason isn’t the environment, but themselves. What you should do is to find out more about her, not something else.”

“O-oh… Hiura-sensei”

What a revolutionary statement!

But, according to her theory, I was completely wrong. Until now, I had never doubted my own method. I had said that this wasn’t my specialty, but how could I be so confident in my ways?

What am I doing?

“Thanks, Hiura. Give me time to rethink a bit.”

“You haven’t treated me ice cream yet–” She recalled in annoyance.

“‘Kay, ‘kay. I’ll buy you two 31 scoops.”

[TN: short for Baskin Robbins 31]

She gave me a dazed, happy smile. 

Even though it was by conscience, I was glad she came here today. And I should tell Minato to meet tomorrow, things were about to change.

“You’re an idiot, so I’ll say the obvious one more time in case you haven’t figured it out yet.” 

“Hn? There’s one more holy revelation for me?” 

She was usually uninterested in the Angel, I wonder why she went to such lengths today.

“There’s still one thing that isn’t quite right.”

“One thing?”

“That playgirl, why hasn’t she fallen for you yet?”

“Eh…”

…

“Well, it shouldn’t be strange, people have types–”

“Stop that futile argument. Given her tendency, you know better than that. Or she was hiding it from you, that is.”

No, she couldn’t. There was nothing to hide, my power told me she doesn’t like me romantically. 

She couldn’t be.

“You helped her?” She went on.

“With everything I can.”

“To do so, how many times have you met?”

“Um, uhh…” I had lost count.

“Then why hasn’t she falled for you yet? You’re a considerably good guy, why wouldn’t she?”

“Eh…”

Heh?

“H-Hiura-san? Um…”

“Huh? You really think that I would hang out with some lousy guy? Heck, no.”

“31… I’ll buy three scoops.”

“Nah, two scoops, waffle cone.”

I bowed “Order received.”

Hiura… You might not be one of Kuze’s Top Three, but you’re my goddess…

“In short, Yuzuki– oops, the reason why that girl hasn’t fallen for you yet is the key. That’s the best route in my opinion.”

“Hey… W-well, I see… I’ll try asking, that certain someone.”

“Yeah, yeah. That certain someone.”

[TN: Lmao]

A while later, on my way home. I walked to the station with Yukito.

In the end, he said nothing throughout the session.

I won’t force him to if he doesn’t want to. But the fact that Yukito, of all people, decided to sit out something like this, bothered me.

“It’s as if she’s your opposite,” he said out of the blue.

“Eh?”

“That certain someone, she’s your opposite.”

“‘Opposite’?”

“You who can’t bring himself to like anyone since then, and the girl who falls in love with anyone and everyone. Ironic.” A pause. “No, you’re the same,” he decided.

I didn’t understand what he meant.

After he cleared his throat, he went on, “Nothing. If you want to help her then do it. If you need my help just say so.”

“Uh… I ask for your advice today. How did that turn out?”

“Aki-chan was there. By the way, she’s popular, right?”

“Hmm, about that. She’s unrefined, that girl.”

It had been by habit by now, I hid the fact that she was Plus Four, lest he had any weird interest again.

“Liar. I’d definitely hit on her if I were you. She seems compatible.”

“Hey, that sounds illegal.”

“I’m jealous of your legality to do so~”

He laughed jokingly and we continued the rest of the way in silence.
