A Sweet Romance That Starts With One Bottle of Juice, Between a Heiress Who Must Marry Her First Kiss and a Lonesome Guy With a Menacing Look - Chapter 7 - The Young Lady Wants to Be More Intimate - Part 4

Chapter 7 – The Young Lady Wants to Be More Intimate – Part 4

Tanaka-san was looking at me with a face that was plainly disgusted.

After-school in the classroom, the study session began with desks attached to each other.

I just felt like I was in the way and I was completely silent.

“You two said you were both struggling to make the grade. So we’re having a study session.”

“This… Is it okay if I’m there? He probably wants to do it while being lovey-dovey as a couple, right?”

“That’s not true! At this time, both Tanaka-san and Tadakuni are students. I will do my best as a teacher.”

And so began Yasunomihara-san’s passionate guidance.

“Tadakuni, there’s a simpler way to break it down. That mathematical formula is—”

She gave me a series of easy-to-understand solutions.

At that moment, I felt a soft, fuzzy feeling on my arm…

It was the feeling of Yasunomihara-san’s breasts as she bent forward beside me and was teaching me.

D-Don’t think about it, me!

While trying to rid myself of worldly desires, I couldn’t help but blush and grin, and at that moment, I felt a cold stare from Tanaka-san next to me.

S-She knows.

“Yasunomihara-san!”

“What’s wrong?”

“You’re, um, too close… (Your chest is hitting me)…”

“Of course! I’m doing it for you! (to solve the problem)”

Me and Tanaka-san’s mouths dropped open.

It’s because of the baka-couple instruction book, I’m sure.

“Yuuka… When did you become such a nasty girl?”

Tanaka-san held her head.

“Yasuda… You’re the reason why Yuuka’s like this!”

Tanaka-san grabbed my collar and came at me, as if trying to fight me.

“It’s not my fault—!”

“Don’t lie!”

“Fufu, you two are very close.”

“”What!?””

Tanaka-san finally let go of my hand and I sat back down in my seat.

“Even Tanaka-san is trying her best. (with the problem). There’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

“Hah!? What did you say!? You’re being sarcastic with me because I don’t have breasts, and you’re doing it in front of a boy?”

“Breasts? Are we not talking about studies?”

“……”

“……”

Ah, I see… It’s because she was talking about the problem…

I was relieved to hear that I was wrong and that Yasunomihara-san has not been poisoned by the baka-couple book.

Also, Tanaka-san’s face was bright red.

“Sorry, Yuuka.”

“Why are you apologising?”

“Yasuda too… Sorry for grabbing you”

“It’s okay. I was wrong too…”

Yasunomihara-san was the only one with a question mark.

✳︎✳︎

Two hours had passed since the after-school study session began.

“Tanaka-san, it would be easier to understand if the Japanese translation here were simpler. Also, this conjunction is—”

Yasunomihara-san explained one difficult question after another.

She explained the problems in a way that’s easy to understand, so you get it right in your head. Her teaching is much easier to understand than the teacher’s.

“Tadakuni can do it if he tries.”

“It’s all thanks to Yasunomihara-san.”

All the problems I didn’t understand, I was able to solve without difficulty.

“Yuuka is really good at teaching. To be able to be the boyfriend of such a cute, big-breasted girl who can study well, I envy Yasuda.”

“Oh no, I still have a long way to go. I need to develop myself and become a woman worthy of Tadakuni.”

Tanaka-san’s eyes went to Yasunomihara-san’s chest.

She stared at her, as if reminding her not to develop any further.

“Um, would it be okay if I went to the bathroom?”

“Yes, yes, go on.”

Yasunomihara-san left the classroom.

In the classroom at dusk, there were only two of us, Tanaka-san and me.

Ah, this is that awkward thing where you’re alone with a friend of a friend.

Of all people, the other party is Tanaka-san…

“Yasuda, why are you dating Yuuka?”

“Even if you ask me…”

“You said you weren’t interested in relationships or anything like that when you were in middle school.”

“…Well, that’s…”

Even now, I’m not originally interested in that, but I’m forced by the circumstances…

“Which one of you confessed?”

It was Yasunomihara-san who kissed me indirectly, but I guess I can’t irresponsibly say that…

“I guess it’s…me.”

“Liar.”

“It’s not a lie.”

“Actually, Yuuka said before that she would reject anyone, no matter how attractive they were, until she became an adult.”

“…Is that…so?”

That’s because if she kissed anyone, she’d have to marry that person.

“It was Yuuka who confessed to you, wasn’t it? You’re so self-sacrificing. You were like this at that time too.”

Tanaka-san said, staring out the window.

At that time, huh… That was two years ago…

I was a loner in junior high school, so when I was home from school feeling lonely, I saw Tanaka-san being entwined with a male high school student.

While I thought to myself how typical this is of a youth manga, I couldn’t just turn a blind eye. So, I decided to step in, thinking that if I became the target instead, Tanaka-san could escape. However, it ended up turning into a fight…

Despite being a novice in fights, my disproportionately long reach and the momentum of the moment allowed me to defeat three high school students.

Afterward, the high school students reported what happened, and it developed into a major problem.

I was labeled as a yankee who beat up high school students, and people avoided me more than ever.

But there was one person who didn’t avoid me.

“That group of three high school students were actually my delinquent friends. You probably mistook them for someone who was bothering me, right?”

“Y-Yeah.”

“You’re strong. What’s your name?”

“Yasuda…Tadakuni…”

“Yasuda, come with me.”

In the summer of my second year in junior high school, Tanaka-san invited me to join her as a fellow Yankee, but I didn’t want to get into fights, so I started to avoid her.

That’s how I’ve been with Tanaka-san so far.

I never spoke to Tanaka-san after that.

Unbeknown to me, Tanaka-san had stepped away from being a yankee and had become a gal. She was accepted into this high school with high prejudice levels.

“You rejected my invitation, but you accepted Yuuka’s confession.”

“I didn’t mean to reject…or anything like that.”

“It doesn’t matter. Don’t worry about it.”

Tanaka-san put her luggage in her bag and started tidying up.

“Protect Yuuka. Just like you protected me.”

“…Yeah.”

“I’m leaving. Feel free to flirt.”

Tanaka-san walked out of the classroom with her bag in her hand, making fun of me.

Just as I came to this high school to hide my hated past, Tanaka-san may have come here to hide her Yankee past.

That’s what I thought.

“Thank you for waiting! Eh, where is Tanaka-san?”

“She went home.”

“I see… Perhaps I’ve made her feel uncomfortable?”

“Maybe so.”

We both started to feel kind of embarrassed and looked away.

It was just the two of us in the empty classroom.

“Shall we tidy up?”

“Yes, I suppose.”

We both put our desks back and cleaned up what’s on them.

“It was a pleasure to study with Tadakuni.”

“I feel like I owe an apology or something because I was only taught in a one-sided way.”

“That’s not true. Tadakuni is capable if he puts his mind to it.”

Yasunomihara-san looked at me with compassionate eyes.

“You’re kind of like a mother.”

“…A-A mother, you say… That’s too early, I’m not ready yet.”

“Early?”

“I will do my best to give birth to Tadakuni’s child…but please wait until then.”

I see… We’re both gonna get married someday.

Of course, we’d have children.

C-Children…that means…

“……!”

Yasunomihara-san turned her face away.

“…I think I’ll go home now.”

“Y-Yes.”

Somehow…it became awkward.
