Schedule And Strategy Meetings.
That night.
‘Okay, I’ll start the call-‘
Such a message from Minai appeared in the group’s chat room.
The screen immediately switched to the “incoming call” display.
I tapped the answer button, feeling a little reluctant to do so, partly because it was my first time to make a group call.
“Telephone Booth-!”
“Anywhere door!”
“……”
“……”
I quickly switched to speaker mode and put my phone a little further away.
No matter how I thought about it, I was a fool for holding it to my ear from the beginning.
Aside from Minai, I wish Haruomi would stop getting into these strange moods, like normies.
“Hey. Yuga-chi. Shizuki-chan.”
“I’m here…”
“R-right here!”
“What is it? If you’re here, please tell us something about your secret tgadget.”
“A secret gadget?”
“G-Gulliver’s Tunnel…!”
“OO! Such an elegant choice! Shizuki-san!!”
“…”
Just get to the point, please.
Thinking this, I sighed quietly so that the other side couldn’t hear me.
This call was planned by Minai in order to have a proper conversation about today’s lunch break.
The test will start tomorrow, and we need to sort out the situation as soon as possible.
For these two reasons, it was decided to finish the discussion today.
In other words, it should be a reasonably serious event…
“Shizuki-chan, are you okay? After all that..”
“Y-yeah… I guess.”
Shizuki’s voice was gloomy.
Well, that’s not too much to ask.
“Did you say anything?”
“N-o. The atmosphere was kind of heavy and it was still awkward…”
“I see. I suppose.”
“Yes… But it wasn’t as bad as I had feared. I thought I might be blamed or questioned…”
“Well, the Flashy Gals aren’t really bad, are they? It’s not like you’re only allowed to be in only one group.”
“Hehh~ I didn’t you were also thinking about that Yuuga.”
Suddenly, Haruomi said in a voice that sounded happy for some reason.
“What do you mean by that?”
“I’m talking about relationships at school. I thought you weren’t interested.”
“Ah, you’re right. Yuuga-chi doesn’t seem to be interested in that kind of thing.”
“That’s normal… It doesn’t matter what one’s interested in.”
“Well, yes, but…ya know…”
“Right right. That’s true but… it’s Yuuga we are talking about”
Haruomi and Minai laughed together.
Even though I couldn’t see their faces, I could see that they were nodding their heads.
They are usually so rude.
“Oh, that’s right. I’m sorry, Shizuki-chan. I thought about it a lot, but I had no choice but to do it that way…”
“N-no! Thank you so much… If you hadn’t come, I’m sure I…”
“We were in a hurry too. Shizuki, you looked so distressed.”
“I-I knew it, That’s how it looked huh…?”
“You looked like you hated it from the bottom of your heart.”
At that time, Shizuki looked several times more cornered than when she was talking about going on a blind date.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have acted like that either.
Of course, I’m not trying to justify my outburst.
“I guess Shizuki-san is still in the denialist faction about piercings?”
asked Haruomi, who had both ears pierced duirng this summer vacation.
“Ummm, it’s not that I’m a …denier, but I don’t want to do it. Besides, Even if I’m going to make a hole in my own body, even if I do it, I want to decide more carefully….”
Well, Shizuki is probably that kind of person.
I can imagine it from her normal personality and it showed on her face as well.
“Well, yeah, that’s true. Team Gals was trying to get into the swing of things, but these things really, really depend on the person.”
“I’m the one who has to firmly refuse them myself… When Yuka-chan got her piercing before, I went along with everyone else and told her I was jealous of her…”
“I see. So it was natural for everyone to be on the same page.”
“Yes… I didn’t think it was really going to be a problem to open up with everyone…”
“The fancy gals seem to have a lot of interest in that area.”
“I guess so. But I’m glad Shizuki-chan’s situation isn’t getting worse.”
Minai’s voice sounded relieved.
I couldn’t help but stroke my chest as well.
That was exactly what I was most concerned about.
Even if I could save Shizuki on the spot, it would be a complete disaster if I became uncomfortable in the group.
All I could do was pray, but I’m glad to hear that everything seems to be okay….
“Are you sure you don’t want to join them?”
“Y-yes. …I’ve decided to spend most of the winter break playing with Minai-san and you guys.”
“Okay! Then, let’s talk like that! Thank you, Yuuga and Senba-kun. “
“Yeah.”
“Roger that. Well, I wouldn’t be involved with flashy gals. “
“Sorry to trouble you… Thank you, everyone.”
I could feel Shizuki on the other end of the phone, bowing deeply.
To be honest, I am not sure if my actions were for the best or not.
And I still don’t know what will happen next.
However, since I got involved in this situation, I have to assume a certain amount of responsibility.
At the time, I was prepared to take responsibility for my actions.
Of course, there is nothing better than things not happening.
“What are you going to do during winter break, Shizuki-chan?”
“I think I’ll probably stay at home… I’d feel bad if I went out and met Yuka-chan and the others…”
“Well, yes, that would not be good.”
“Well then, since we’re all here, let’s really have fun together during winter break! We’ll have a party to celebrate the completion of the test!”
“Oh, that’s a good idea, Minai-chan.”
“Right!”
Minai and Haruomi were having fun.
I can’t help but feel that the brazenness of these guys is a little more dependable just now.
“Let’s have a Christmassss partchii!!”
“What’s a Christmassss partchii?”
“What did you say? Yuuga, don’t you know it?”
“I don’t know.”
I have never heard of such a thing, nor have I ever thought of having a Christmas party by the way.
What is this gathering all about, anyway?
“We eat cake, exchange gifts, and chat!”
“….hmm.”
“Don’t hmmm me!”
Whether it sounds like fun or not, at least it doesn’t sound like it’s for me.
“B-but is it… okay? It feels kind of bad for Mariko and her friends…”
“It’s OKAYYY! You said you had a prior commitment and you turned it down, so it’s not better if you don’t do anything!”
“Yes, yes. And it’s common for people to refuse invitations they don’t want to go to on the pretext that they don’t want to go.”
“That… may be true.”
Shizuki was slightly apprehensive, but was ready to get on board.
Well, the two of them were right, now that she has lied to the fancy gals, she might as well actually make plans.
“Then it’s settled! Yay! I’m so excited!”
“But first, the test.”
“Hey! Don’t confront me with reality!”
“Don’t worry, Minai-san. You’ve been working hard, so I’m sure you’ll do well.”
“Aaah! Shizuki-chan!”
After Minai’s exaggerated crying, the mood was already broken up.
They would make plans again after the test.
I hung up the phone and went back to studying English.
I’m probably fine, but I probably shouldn’t let up until the end.
*Notification*
“Hmm?”
A message was delivered to my phone, which should have been quiet by now.
And it was not a group message from earlier, but a private message from Shizuki.
“Thank you so very much.”
That was all.
I was feeling unexpectedly relieved, so I was unable to respond for a while.
