I Went Back in Time to 10 Years Ago and Saved My Young Lady Childhood Friend and She Became My Fiancee ~She’s Honest and Cool and Looks at Me Like She Wants to Be Cared For~
Should I reveal my fiancee?
I thought about that yesterday when I ate cake with Yorumiya.
If I told people that I am her fiancee, I’m sure there would be fewer people who would want to go out with Yorumiya. There might be fewer people who would be bothered by a confession of love or something like that.
But what about others?
Right now, Yorumiya is already considered by others to have an air of sophistication.
If she has a fiancee the wall between her and those around her will become even higher.
(Troubling ……)
As I was walking to school thinking about this, Yorumiya, who was walking next to me, looked into my face.
“Shuu kun, you’ve been looking grim since yesterday.”
“Hnn….. no, a little bit.”
I rub my brow, which seems to have become grim.
Whether or not to reveal the identity of my fiancee… I haven’t discussed this with Yorumiya yet. I’m still thinking about it myself.
(It’s probably quite rare for a high school boy to be worried about his fiancee)
Yorumiya clenched her fists in front of her chest. It was a cute gesture.
“If you have any problems, please let me know. I will do my best to help you.”
“Thank you. You seem motivated.”
“Shuu kun, when you are troubled, you need sugar. I’ve been wanting to make a cake since I had one yesterday.”
“……, let’s make it together next time.”
It would be dangerous to let Yorumiya make it by herself. It seems like my worries will be “blown” away. Yorumiya still confuses flour and potato starch sometimes.
And so I was walking with Yorumiya, wondering whether or not to reveal my fiancée, but the classroom was not the place to do it.
◇
“–Sara-chan, congratulations on your decision to do the Merifure Live~!”
Just as we entered the classroom, several pleasant crackers sounded.
W-What’s going on?!
My shoulders jumped. However, it seemed that we had nothing to do with it. It was the girls in the class clapping with crackers with strings hanging down from their hands.
“W-wow! Thank you!~”
And at the center of the circle was Minamori Sara, aka Sarachii from the very popular idol group Merry Reflection.
Minamori is smiling with a sparkling string on her shoulder.
It seems that Minamori’s idol group, Merry Reflection, has announced a live concert.
(Huh…. live concert?)
Something stuck in the corner of my mind, but before I could recall it, Yorumiya spoke to me.
“Sara san, she has a live concert, doesn’t she?”
“…. Yeah. That’s amazing.”
Yorumiya’s eyes widened as I hurriedly replied. As an ordinary person, I could only give a vague response. The other person was an idol. Minamori was a friendly girl, but when she occasionally showed her idol-like behavior, it felt like she was in a faraway world.
“Sara”-chan, that’s seriously amazing! I want to go see it for sure!”
“Eh, let’s go!”
“Oh, yes. I’d love to see it!”
The tension in the classroom was high. But somehow, minamori’s smile seems to be awkward.
(It seems like the stress before a live performance is too much.)
Minamori’s smile is well polished from standing in front of tens of thousands of people as an idol, and you can’t tell from the smile itself that she’s straining. But I can tell that she is probably pushing herself.
( She was throwing up just by entering the high school. ……)
It seems unlikely that someone who was throwing up just by entering a school would not be stressed before a concert.
“–Oh, take your seats!~”
As I sit and watch the excitement, my homeroom teacher arrives. Everyone returns to their seats.
Among the several morning announcements, there was one important one.
“Today’s fifth period will be a field trip briefing for the entire school year. Everyone should gather in the gym.”
The class was again a little excited.
(I see…there’s a field trip too?)
I think we had an out-of-school learning experience. we were going to go camping somewhere in the mountains. We stayed at a ryokan for two days and one night.
I honestly don’t remember much about it because I was a loner before.
Merifure’s live performance. Off-campus learning. There are a lot of events happening at the same time.
“Ha~ ……”
In contrast to the classroom, which is buzzing with tension, a small sigh can be heard from the back of the room.
Multiple events …… are a bit of a challenge for people with mental difficulties.
◇
First period was over and it was recess time.
My phone shook, so I took it out and found a message from Minamori.
[Hey Enami-kun]
I quickly look up and look at the seat diagonally behind me. Before I knew it, Minamori was gone.
[Where are you calling from?]
[Wow, delicacy, Enami-kun. I’m picking flowers because I have a weak stomach]
[How would I know?]
She sent me a stamp of a mysterious two-headed creature holding her stomach. I hope she’s not throwing up again.
[I mean, it’s a field trip. This is bad, isn’t it?]
[What do you mean it’s bad?]
[Because it’s two days and one night, right? I have to be with everyone for a long time, you know? My true image as a genius idol will be revealed.]
She says it like a magical girl.
But although she’s joking, it’s probably a matter of life and death for everyone in the forest.
I’m grateful that she’s here to discuss it with me, as we seem to be getting to know each other better. But I think it’s probably a good idea to tell her not to worry about it, only to have her say she can’t do it. I don’t think she has that much faith in my words.
Personally, I don’t think anyone would be disappointed if she showed her inner self.
[Isn’t the live show harder?]
[They’re both hard! Ugh.
Enami-kun is going to confront me with reality ……]
This time I get a stamp of a mysterious two-headed creature vomiting something sparkly.
……I hope she’s really not vomiting.
[I’m also very nervous about the live show. We go on field trips at night too. I’m always worried about what will happen if I asleep or if I looks like not paying attention.]
[No sleep ……?]
[I’m fine with that, but if my skin gets rough, I’ll ask you to take responsibility for it.]
I can’t be responsible for an idol’s skin.
[I’m sure Yorumiya and I can be together in the camping group. I think we can follow up a little there.]
Minamori is concerned that by continuing to put on the catsuit, she will be revealing her true, timid mentality.
But, it’s not possible to be together at night, but during the daytime camping, you should be able to be in the same group. Wouldn’t it be somewhat easier there?
After a little while, I receive a reply.
[I am very grateful for your offer, but I will take it home and consider it.]
That’s very formal.
The letter seems to have some kind of hesitation.
….You don’t want to be in the same group with me, do you?
[Anyway, I feel a bit better after complaining to Enami-kun. Thanks.]
[I’m glad to hear that.]
When I say it, a stamp comes flying in. There are no further messages. Well, the break time is short, and I can’t let her stay in the bathroom for such a long time.
I think about Minamori as an idol as I look back at the screen.
(…… How can she continue to be an idol with such mental weakness?)
I wonder if she likes idols more than her mental weakness.
That must be what keeps her going without quitting, I guess.
(Come to think of it, I heard there was a rumor that you retired once.)
Ayato was talking about the “Minazuki Sara Retirement” rumor before.
I guess that rumor raised some eyebrows after all.
Thinking back, I suddenly searched for information about the live concerts that minamori would be performing at.
There, I found a promotional photo of Merry Reflection, announcing their summer concert.
Minamori is in the center, and the other members are smiling.
(– …… Huh?).
When I saw it, I felt a slight heat on the back of my neck.
(–……I, like I’ve seen this somewhere before.)
A feeling of something tugging at me.
I felt it earlier when I heard it was live.
Did something happen before the leap?
(No. I can’t remember.)
I was a little troubled, but I couldn’t figure out what the déjà vu was.
But before the leap, I was sure that Azusa would have tried to join the live performance. It would be the same this time.
(…… Let’s ask Azusa a little about it.)
