My youth romance is always confusing

Looking at the people in front of me who suddenly fell silent, I thought it would be better for me to keep my mouth shut.

In Saria, Ebina sat opposite Yuigahama, looking at his friend with a smile on his face.

Yuigahama looked embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Ah, that... Ebina."

The girl with pink bun-like hair was a little flustered. After saying a few words, she didn't know what to say next.

"Well, Yui said before that she was going to travel with her family this weekend, right? Could it be that everyone here is Yui's family?"

Ebina, who was wearing glasses, looked around intentionally or unintentionally, paused for a moment on Yukino, and then turned his gaze to Hachiman, who looked as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Hey, don't look at me."

Although I was the first person to discover her, this matter has little to do with me. I should go find the person involved as soon as possible.

By the way, I think I mentioned this to Yuigahama before, and she said that Miura and Ebina would understand her, but now I can't see that at all.

In order not to get involved in the complicated relationship between the two of them, I chose to turn a blind eye.

When I looked across at the other side, I found that Yukinoshita had made the same choice as me.

Although she looked very focused, I, who was in the same department with her, knew that was actually her look when she was distracted.

The evidence is that when we were in the club before, I opened the door several times when she was like this, and she never even raised her head to look at me.

Well...it probably wasn't intentional.

"Ah, which one is because.... Ugh."

After her lie was exposed by Ebina, Yuigahama is still thinking about what excuse to use to cover it up, or in other words... how to get away with it?

"Yuigahama-san, it's better to tell the truth at this time. After all, even if you don't want to, the other party has already seen it."

As a person involved in this incident and the head of the Service Club, Yukino couldn't pretend that it had nothing to do with her even if she wanted to. She was not like the man opposite her who seemed to be in a daze but actually glanced at her several times.

Yukino closed her eyes and folded her arms beside Yuigahama.

Of course, due to some physical reasons, her actions did not seem inappropriate at all, and did not even attract the only male present to take a second look at her, so she was very safe.

After being lectured by her companions, Yuigahama did not get angry, but instead calmed down.

Take a deep breath.

Maybe it was because the movement was too obvious, causing her breasts to tremble, forming a sharp contrast with someone next to her. Fortunately, Yukino closed her eyes and didn't see it, otherwise she would have to go back to the room and feel bored.

"Sorry! Ebina, it's my fault for not explaining it to you clearly before."

Yuigahama put her hands together, made an apology in front of her eyes, and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Ebina picked up the coffee beside him, took a sip, and then looked at his best friend with an expression that said "I really lost to you".

“So, Yui, why don’t you just say it directly? Why are you lying—”

"I'm not lying!"

After interrupting Ebina's words uncontrollably, Yuigahama's eyes became a little vague.

"Actually....what I told you before is true. I was going out with my parents on the weekend, but that's tomorrow."

"So you're only telling half the truth."

Hmm? When did Yuigahama learn this cunning trick? This trick of only telling half the truth to make the other party misunderstand is quite advanced. I didn't expect that she would know it.

That’s amazing.

"Someone over there, don't let your thoughts show on your face."

Holding a cup of coffee, Yukino saw Hachiman showing that disgusting smile he wore in the club again. For the sake of protecting the club's reputation, she quickly stopped him.

"what?"

What is this woman doing? She is not using me as a means to change the subject.

Maybe it was because of me that the atmosphere at the table suddenly turned cold, but the atmosphere before wasn't much better either.

"Ugh."

Being interrupted like this, Ebina had no way to continue to question the culprit.

But she had no intention of doing anything unnecessary. She came here just to see what Yui was thinking.

More importantly, doing this would at least prevent Yui from lying to her again next time.

Ebina felt that the relationship between the three of them was not a superficial one, and they should just say whatever they wanted to say. It was all thanks to her. If Yumiko had seen it, today's matter would probably not be over, especially now that there was this woman named Yukinoshita around. If she remembered correctly, Yukinoshita had already had two conflicts with Yumiko.

Anyway, just try not to let them meet.

A bunch of random thoughts flashed through Ebina's mind in an instant.

She held the cup and pretended to drink coffee, but her mind was already thousands of miles away.

Through the glass beside him, Ebina looked at the crowded street.

If she hadn't been asked by her aunt to cover for her today, she would probably have come out by herself to stroll around the streets like the girls over there.

Eh? Does that blonde girl look familiar?

Ebina swallowed the bitter coffee in his mouth and looked at the girl's back in a daze.

In Ebina's sight, a man wearing a hat carrying a box of goods squeezed past the blonde girl, forcing her to turn sideways to make way for the man.

This side of her body put most of her face directly into Ebina's eyes, and the coffee she had just swallowed choked her throat, causing her to cough uncontrollably.

"Cough~cough~"

Yumiko!

Ebina, who was choked by his coffee, quickly signaled Yuigahama with his eyes, wanting her to hide.

But it was too late. There was a legend in Chiba: 'The moment your eyes meet is the beginning of the duel!'

While Ebina was still using a tissue to wipe the coffee she had spilled all over the table, Miura on the street, out of some woman's intuition, turned back to look at Sizerya where she had been before.

Upon closer inspection, I spotted Yuigahama who looked as if she didn't know what was going on, and Ebina who was leaning over the table and coughing continuously.

And there are a lot of people around them.

.....

Question: If your best friend leaves you and the two of you run out to meet each other, and your enemy (you think he is) is also with you, what would you think?

Of course, there’s no need to even think about it!

Even a normal person would not be able to help it, let alone Miura Yumiko who always has a quick temper.

She picked up the backpack beside her and rushed towards Salia where everyone was.

The feeling of a 'youthful beauty' on the street before was gone, and now she looked more like a big orange cat that was angry.
