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~
After the exams were over, I started muscle training in earnest.
At home, I train a set number of times a day.
Muscle training is a lot of fun if you keep at it. Now it’s push-ups.
My triceps are roaring!
“Ni-chan. You’re annoying me with your voice.”
“……! ……!”
“Thank you.”
Azusa’s room is next to mine.
If I’m not careful, my voice leaks out, and every time I do, she gets angry with me like this.
I feel like she is very kind to me just because she doesn’t say I stink or anything. My sister is the vessel of a great person.
“Phew……”
I stood up from push-ups and exhaled.
I looked at the full-length mirror in my room to motivate myself and put some effort into my muscles.
“I’ve gained a lot.”
Before my time leap, I was a dark person with a shadowy air, not a very cool person.
But I started muscle training, got a haircut, and bought clothes with Azusa
I am now a fresh young man.
…… probably.
I can’t really tell from a quick glance. I feel like I’ve gotten better, but that’s just from my point of view. I don’t know how people around me see me.
My mom and Azusa say things like, “Oh, you’re getting looked at better,” or “Ni-chan is really good-looking! It would be great if you came to our school festival!” but they may be patronizing to their relatives.
(Well, I’m not trying to show off too much. ……)
I have a desire to recapture the youth I once had that didn’t work out.
However, I have an innate sense of energy conservation, thinking that it would be hard to stand out …….
Well, I don’t think you need to worry about standing out.
As long as I act normally, I should be fine.
That’s the hardest part, though.
“……Tomorrow is finally the entrance ceremony.”
Suppressing my nervous chest, I thought about tomorrow.
◇
And the first day of school.
I put on my school uniform and stood in the living room.
Mom and Azusa stared at me with critic-like eyes and gave me a quick thumbs up.
“Shuusuke…… really has become cool, hasn’t he?”
“He is really good looking, Niichan! He’s so fresh and handsome!”
Mom and Azusa complimented me. I gave them a thumbs up too.
I’m glad. I’m glad I didn’t look bad in the uniform.
“I’m a little concerned about your eyes, though.”
Azusa said something unnecessary.
I’ll leave it at that.
“……I’m off then!”
“Bye!”
“Bye!”
I opened the front door with the two of them seeing me off. My heart was pounding in my chest. My life in high school is about to begin. This time. But will it go well? No, but… I am torn between such anxiety and anticipation.
Then, as I stepped out of the house, I stopped in surprise.
“Good morning. Shuu-kun.”
“Oh, yeah”
Yorumiya was standing in front of the house, holding a bag in her hand.
“Good morning …… why?”
“Because I thought we would go to school together. ….., am I bothering you?”
“I wouldn’t call it a nuisance, though ……”
Yorumiya, wearing her uniform and tilting her head, was even more beautiful. She has a slender and slender body and a gentle demeanor, giving the illusion that the uniform she is wearing is the clothes worn by some young lady.
Yorumiya looked me up and down in bewilderment, and then looked at me slightly.
“I’ve been thinking about it for a while now, but you’ve become so cool, haven’t you?”
She muttered in a small voice. The eyes seem to be looking at something far away.
“Thanks ……?”
“Shuu-kun, you have changed after all, haven’t you?”
“Really? I don’t think I changed that much…I did some muscle training, but it’s still my high school debut.”
“No, you’ve changed. Not just your appearance, but my insides as well.”
I wonder if that’s so. I don’t think it’s as much as people say.
Yorumiya stares at me and in silence
Recently, I have gradually become able to decipher Yorumiya’s thin facial expressions. When she is happy, when she is sad, and so on. At a quick glance, her expression looks stiff, but if you look closely, you can see that she is quite expressive.
But I can’t quite make out her current expression. Her mouth is a little tightened and her eyebrows are furrowed—perhaps
“Are you mad ……?”
“I’m not mad.”
She shakes her head. It seems she was not.
Yorumiya opened her mouth with an expression I didn’t recognize.
“I just thought it would be a problem if Shuu-kun became conspicuous.”
“Problem. Why?”
“Why—?”
Then she stopped talking.
Yorumiya stopped for a few seconds.
“……, it’s nothing.”
“Nothing at all?”
“It’s not good if we’re late, let’s go.”
“……, yes.”
The two of us walked towards the school together, although it became somewhat awkward.
There is silence on the way. Originally, Yomiya isn’t one to talk, and I’m not good at finding the right topics to talk about either. That’s why I’m often silent.
I wondered what Yorumiya was not talking about.
She said it would be a problem if I stood out.
(…… No way.)
Is she worried that I’ll say something like ‘woohoo?~’
Then rest assured it will never happen. I’m sure bright people like that area enjoy being bright, but I’d rather spend my time more quietly.
While I was thinking this, Yorumiya suddenly looked up after a while.
“I’m sorry ……. About what I said earlier…”
I looked at her face as she called out to me.
I discover an expression on Yorumiya’s face that I didn’t know existed until I came here.
Her eyes are a little discontented. Her mouth is lightly knit, and she appears to be hesitating. Then, her cheeks are red. He is fidgety and restless.
What is this?
A word that applies to her current appearance suddenly came to mind.
Could it be – is she jealous?
“If Shuu-kun stands out, …… he’ll go to someone else. ……”
I stood there aghast.
“Shuu-kun, you’re my fiancee, right?”
“Y-Yes.”
“Then you’ll stay with me, right ……?”
“That, of course.”
I nodded quickly toward the anxious Yorumiya.
“I’ll be with you. That is, of course, even if you’re not my fiancee. I’m a childhood friend. I want Yorumiya to be happy.”
“I-I see.”
When I said that, she blushed and looked away.
“I’m sure you’ve changed after all,…….”
“I don’t know.”
I don’t understand it myself. …… well, if it was before, I might not have said this.
In the strange air that was different from before, we went to school in silence.
