Yuigahama Wants Everything

At the tea shop...

"...Well, I'm sorry if I don't cooperate with others; it makes me uneasy."

" That's why I always pay attention to people's reactions. Now I want to make a small change."

"Maybe this is what made you angry, but I genuinely consider Yumiko as a good friend, so it doesn't matter how much she scolds me..."

Yuigahama Yui continued to explain herself to Miura Yumiko in a low voice.

Meanwhile, Yumiko Miura continued to glare fiercely at Makoto Amano, who sat across from her.

Even with Hayama Hayato trying to mediate.

"Okay, I understand, Yui. Please sit back down."

After the recent events, Yumiko Miura's dissatisfaction with Yuigahama Yui had lessened considerably.

At that moment, all she wanted was to dislike the boy sitting in front of her.

The boy who had the audacity to call her "Old lady."

"Hey, Yui, where are you going to sit?"

Upon seeing Yuigahama Yui stand up and contemplate sitting on the chair next to Yukino across from them, Miura Yumiko narrowed her eyes slightly.

"I..."

Yuigahama, who had just started to relax, became nervous again.

She used to want to sit beside Yukino, but she feared it would displease Yumiko.

"...Can I ask you not to always accommodate others? You said you wanted to change that, but is it just empty words?"

Yukino, who had been expressionless this whole time, finally spoke up. She maintained her cool and distant demeanor, not appreciating the blonde girl's outburst towards Yuigahama Yui.

"Woo..."

Yuigahama Yui found herself in a dilemma. She couldn't sit next to Yukino, nor did she dare to sit beside Miura Yumiko.

This predicament caused her to subconsciously glance in Makoto Amano's direction.

But...

"Pfft~"

Yuigahama Yui failed to find any sympathy or concern on Amano Makoto's face.

Instead...

The nasty guy was still laughing?

"Waiter, we need to add another chair here."

Makoto Amano pointed to the space in the middle of the table.

"Okay, understood..."

It was strange, though. There were only five people at the table, so why was another chair needed?

The waitress looked at the four high school students sitting across from each other, along with the bewildered girl standing in the middle.

She wore a perplexed expression.

Ah, I get it. This is bullying, isn't it?

Without any hesitation, the waitress quickly brought another chair and, as she left, cast a sympathetic glance at the girl with the rounded head.

---

That's all.

At the dining table, Makoto Amano and Yukino sat on one side, while Hayato Hayama and Yumiko Miura sat on the other.

Not knowing where to sit, Yuigahama Yui had no choice but to accept Makoto Amano's "kindness" and sat in the middle, by the aisle.

Ah...

She couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Among all the customers in the cafe, Yuigahama Yui was the only one sitting in such a "protruding" position, with an extra chair specially added for her.

But, she had to admit, this ending was fitting for her current situation.

However, a hint of anger still burned within her...

While the others were not paying attention, Yuigahama Yui secretly kicked someone under the table, someone who had been watching her and laughing.

"Yuigahama-san, you seem to have more potential for a harem than me."

Amano Makoto didn't express any dissatisfaction with the girl's outburst. He leaned in and whispered a word into her ear in a persuasive manner.

"But if you want both Yukino and the blonde girl, you have to be strong. You can't be so weak anymore."

"Absolutely not!"

I don't have any potential for that kind of thing...

Yuigahama Yui bit her lip and retorted.

She didn't have the same ambitions as this guy.

All she wanted was to be friends with both Yukino and Yumiko at the same time.

"Yui, what are you talking about with this guy?"

Yumiko Miura's gaze turned fierce again.

Seeing that the usually well-behaved girl with the rounded head didn't sit beside her, Yumiko started feeling subtly upset once more.

Especially after seeing Yui talking and getting along with this annoying man.

"I..."

"She said you're a good person and scolded me for what I said to you earlier."

Seeing Yuigahama Yui beginning to falter again, Makoto Amano knew he had to help.

In front of others, Yuigahama Yui was truly timid.

He dared not even speak loudly, as if he was afraid of offending others.

"Maybe girls with big dumplings are timid?"

No, no, that doesn't seem right...

The figure of Yukinoshita Haruno soon crossed Makoto Amano's mind.

Well, that older sister is quite courageous.

"So that's how it is..."

Miura Yumiko bashfully covered her face with her fingers.

The misunderstanding was resolved, and it turned out that Yuigahama Yui was still on her side.

The blond girl's dissatisfaction towards Yuigahama from earlier completely vanished.

"No, it's not... It's my fault..."

Although Amano Makoto handled the situation well, Yuigahama Yui couldn't help but feel that it was all her fault. She didn't handle things properly with Yumiko, leading to the conflict today...

"Yui?"

No...

What should I say?

Yumiko Miura looked puzzled.

"No, it's nothing."

In the end, Yuigahama Yui, wanting to argue, silently sat back down on the chair, following the atmosphere.

---

"Anyway... let's not be so tense. We're all classmates with a good relationship, right?"

Hayama Hayato, seeing that the timing was right, showed his usual sunny smile.

"Yui is my friend, and let's just forget about those two..."

"Who said we're on good terms?"

The hostility on Miura Yumiko's face remained evident.

"Yumiko..."

Hayama Hayato continued acting as a peacemaker.

"Alright, I'll take Hayato's word for it."

Yumiko Miura looked aggrieved.

It seemed that she completely forgot about being angry with Yuigahama just moments ago.

Yukino observed the entire scene with cold eyes.

"Hayama-san, I appreciate your kindness. You truly are a good person."

Hayama Hayato had indeed been doing well recently. Just a few words of "advice" from him,and he willingly took care of everything.

Makoto Amano picked up the coffee in front of him.

Well, the taste was not bad. As expected, it was recommended by Yuigahama from the "refilling group."

"I just don't want to hear that from you."

Hayama Hayato's smile vanished quickly.

"You seem to have something to say to me?"

Now Makoto A

mano put on a smiling face.

Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Hayama Hayato to willingly approach him.

Even if it was for the sake of the blonde girl sitting next to him today, it was unlikely that he would enter the tea shop and have coffee with him.

"There is indeed... something."

Hayama Hayato couldn't help but show a wry smile, realizing that he had been seen through by this guy once again.

He then turned to look at the other three girls.

"Yumiko, Yuigahama-san, and Yukinoshita-san, please..."

Next, Hayama Hayato wanted to have a private conversation with Amano Makoto.
