Episode 14 : I am called Yuugao Karen.

I wonder if we could go home together today as well?

After class ended today, I left school as usual and waited for Yuugao-kun for a little while. Still, as he didn’t show up at the expected time, I became a little worried when he contacted me.

[“I’m sorry, Sakuragi-san, I may be unable to go home with you today.”]

It would happen too.

Did I do something wrong? What should I do? Did he start hating me…? No… I think it’s naturally okay, right? I mean, even Yuugao-kun has days when he wants to go home alone or even times when he wants to go home with his other friends. Yes, that must be it.

But …I can’t help but feel anxious.

It cannot be another woman… right? … That cannot be. There’s no way Yuugao-kun would do such a terrible thing as leaving me alone and being with another woman.

It’s okay. I believe in Yuugao-kun. 

I believe in him, right?

…………………………………………. …….

For now, I think it’s okay to see where Yuugao-kun will be going and with whom he will be going, right?

After a while, Yuugao-kun came out with, who was this again … Kisa– Kisaragi? Together.

See, as I thought, he was just going home with his friends.

There was no way Yuugao-kun could possibly start hating me. He just wanted to go home with his friend today.

…I think I will follow him for a bit longer.

I followed Yuugao-kun from a distance where he wouldn’t notice my presence.

The place we arrived at was a game center. Yuugao-kun and his friend enter inside. I secretly follow them in.

After looking around, Yuugao-kun stopped in front of the crane games. He went towards them, stopped at one such game, and put money in after thinking about it.

Yugao’s face is cute, even when he’s thinking.

Yugao picking up Mame Shiba is also cute.

And Yuuga-kun, who proficiently manipulated the crane arm, managed to get the Mame Shiba in just a single go and looked really cool.

And then, he started thinking again. With that, he started going after another one.

“Hey you”

“…?”

When I turned around, I saw a girl wearing a hat glaring at me.

“Sakuragi-senpai, right?”

“Yes, though.”

If she calls me a senpai, does that mean she’s my junior at school?

What is the reason behind her trying to hold a conversation with me?

I go with that girl outside the arcade for the time being and leave Yuugao-kun and his friend behind.

“Nii…Are you stalking Yuugao-senpai?”

“!! I — I am not, though!. Rather, why are you here in the first place? Aren’t you rather a stalker of Yuuga-kun’s?”

“Stalker, am I now?”

She said while giggling softly.

“I’m not anything like a stalker. Yuuga-senpai and I are something incredibly close, so you know. We share a bond with each other that you can never even imagine attaining, if you can even understand that.”

“…. You really say some interesting things.”

Ah, I don’t want Yuugao-kun to see me having such a face.

“Well, since I achieved my goal, I will be leaving for home. Are you still going to continue your stalking business?”

“I’m going home as well. Also, I’m not stalking him. I’m just protecting Yuugao-kun from potential dangers.”

“Fufu. Ah come to think of it.”

As she was about to leave, she suddenly halted her feet right there and turned around.

“My name is Yuugao Karen. I’m Yuugao Sakura’s younger stepsister.”

Nya~AH!!

You!?

This time, without even turning back, she left.
