Ghost School
Yurin When SMP
In the evening....
I opened the gift Yui gave me.
"Diary book and stationery set. Yui really understands me the most"
"He knew I liked writing, so he gave me this gift" I thought
I put a gift from Yui on the table, then turned to the flower Izumi gave me.
"It looks more beautiful at night. The blink-blink in the flower buds was brighter" I thought
I smell it and the smell doesn't fade. The flowers don't wither either.
"No wonder this flower only grows in the castle of the good spirit leader" My mummy muttered
I put the flower in a vase I had prepared before, then put it on the table.
After that, I got up from my desk and got ready for bed.

**
I laid myself on the bed 1 hour ago, but until now I still can't sleep.
"...."
"I can't sleep...." Thought
The shadows during the battle of the spirits this afternoon were still clearly visible in my head.
"I did tell Izumi it was okay. But still, I can't be ordinary after seeing and experiencing something like that" I thought
I stretched my right hand up and looked at him.
"My hands are still trembling" I thought
I immediately clenched my hand, telling my hand to stop shaking.
"I can't be weak!! I must become strong for the sake of everything!!" I thought spirit
"So, don't be afraid and now go to bed quickly, Yurin!!" Thought
*
Tonight while I was sleeping, I had a pretty unique dream.
"Hiks.... Hiks...."
"I'm scared... Mamma... Papa's..."
"You okay?"
"Who?..."
"Let's just say I'm a 'good guy who happened to pass by'. Are you separated from your parents?"
I stopped crying and stared at the stranger.
"It's okay, don't be afraid. I'll help you find your parents"
In the dream, I cried sobbing, then came a person whose invisible face helped me. The man reached out his hand to me and I greeted his hand happily.
As soon as I woke up from the dream, it was morning. Sunlight coming in from the window that was not tightly closed curtains hit my face.
I was pensive after waking up from that dream.
"Who, huh? The person in the dream..." I thought I was trying to remember
"...."
"Forget over. Get up and do your usual activities!" I murmured, then immediately got up and cleaned the mattress.
*
During the day, I plan to buy something as a sign of gratitude because they already care about my birthday.
"Yui, I'm gonna go out for a second, yeah"
"Yes, be careful"
Chequek...
"...."
Instantly the atmosphere became silent after Yurin walked out of the room. In that room now left Ayui and Izumi who were just sitting still.
"Hey, Izum--"
"I'm busy! Don't talk to me!" Izumi said firmly
"Huh?! What are you busy with?! So you just sit still!" Ayui raised her voice a little
"That's you know. I am busy sitting and enjoying the silence. Don't talk to me again!"
"Where is such a person!" Shouted Ayui
"I'm not human" Izumi replied
"Also, there is no such creature!"
"...."
Izumi did not respond to Ayui's remarks, and after that Izumi did not serve Ayui's words. Feeling neglected, Ayui keeps making noise and tries to annoy Izumi
Until a few minutes later....
"You are so noisy!!! Quiet down!!!" Shouted Izumi emotion
"Finally you react too" muttered Ayui
"There's no Ririn, there's something I want to talk to you about"
"Nothing I want to talk to you about. Never mind, if it's like this I'd better just go" Izumi said and prepared for teleportation.
"It's about Ririn"
Izumi immediately flinched then glanced towards Ayui.
"Now you want to talk to me, kan~"
*
"What do you want to talk about?" Ask Izumi
"Yah~ is nothing special. I just want to tell you a little bit about Ririn Junior High. You wanna hear?" Ask Ayui
"Well, I assume you agree to listen"
"You know? When Ririn Junior High was quite popular in school. Ririn is not the prettiest in school and she is popular not because of that, but because of her kindness and innocence"
"At first he liked some boys in class in 7th grade, then the longer the more people who liked him until 8th grade he became quite popular among men"
"Our SMP used to be quite elite and the average man likes good and smart women. Therefore, almost all the men who knew Ririn liked her. Ririn's face was also above average"
"Therefore, since the beginning of 8th grade many people tried to approach Ririn"
"But unfortunately, their target isn't that easy"
*
"Hi sister, you're Asahi Yurin from 8-A grade, right? You helped me out in the corridor before. When you come home, you want to eat with me?"
"Ah, that brother back then, right? Thanks for the offer, but I don't want to eat with someone who's met me a few times"
"...."
*
One morning, a letter appeared along with a chocolate bar under Yurin's desk.
The content of the letter was to ask Yurin to come to the back of the school building after school hours.
"You're from the next class, right? What's the matter you called me?" Ask Yurin
"That's... There was... What I want to tell you...." He muttered embarrassed
"What do you want to say?"
"Law.... How, yeah.... You should've known after seeing the letter and the chocolate I gave you...." He murmured while turning his eyes the other way
"So, how.... Did you take it?" He asked and then glanced at Yurin
"Ah, it turns out so~ I understand why you are so difficult to say~ Just relax, I will accept it" said Yurin cheerful
"Really?!" Her screams are pleased
"Of course~"
Yurin reached into the pocket in her skirt and took out some money and gave it to the man.
"You need money, right? You meant to sell me the chocolate you left me to turn it into money, right?" Yurin
"No.... That's...." Mumbled
"You're ashamed to say it in front of so many people, so you brought me here so that this conversation only the two of us know, right? Looks like you're in a lot of economic trouble, I'll pay more for the chocolate"
Yurin immediately put the money in the hands of the man who was now dumbstruck.
"Calm down, this will not spread out~" Yurin said and walked away from the man
The next day, news of the man being rejected and humiliated spread throughout the school.
*
In class, a male friend approached Yurin's desk and sat down beside her.
"Asahi, I don't understand this part, please teach me"
"Master! He said he didn't understand the lesson and asked to be re-explained!" Yurin Shouts
"Ti's... No, Asahi!!" He panicked
*
In the corridor of the school, when the students were busy passing by....
"Asahi~ You are so beautiful and elegant like this rose~ Would you like this perfect you to receive this flower? This perfect flower deserves only the perfect woman"
Everyone was stunned by the man who was the son of a basketball club and also popularly expressed love in the crowd.
"Kyaaaa~ That's it, right? The up-and-coming lately~ I'm so envious of that woman~"
"Women are beautiful, kind and smart. Then the men are handsome, tall, and romantic. They match~"
People were whispering around Yurin and the man.
"...."
Yurin initially just silently digested the situation that was going on. Then soon Yurin reached out her hand and took the bouquet of roses in the man's hand.
The man was very happy, thinking his declaration of love was accepted by Yurin.
"Senior, senior speech is too exaggerated that says I am beautiful and elegant and perfect. I'm not what the senior said" Yurin said with a cheerful smile
"If this flower is only worthy of being given to such a person, then it cannot be given to me...."
Yurin immediately walked a little back and thrust the flower at a very beautiful woman, who was also watching a show of a man expressing love in the crowd.
"What deserves this flower is of course the school flower that has a perfect face like this flower"
"Ti's... No. gabe. I'm not like that...." The girl who was the flower of the school
"If it's not you, then no more women deserve it!"
Instantly things became quiet.
*
"Very many men want it the same age as us, upperclassmen and underclassmen who try to get in touch with Ririn, but their efforts are all in vain"
"Then in 9th grade when we were in the cafeteria, when Ririn and I were having a light conversation together as usual while eating, I asked her something"
*
"Ririn, why are you rejecting all those men? But they're not all that bad" I asked
"Defuse? What do you mean, Yui?" Ask Yurin
"Of course, reject their feelings. Every time they express their feelings, you always subtly reject them" I replied
"When did they express their feelings to me?" Ask Yurin back
"This long! They are like that as a form of effort to approach you!" I said a little surprised
"There is no way~ You misunderstand their kindness, Yui~ They are like that because they are good people" Yurin said casually
"...."
I was stunned to hear Ririn say.
And that's when I realized, that Ririn was not rejecting them, but that Ririn was unaware of their feelings. Then all the kindness that Ririn gave them was not a form of liking, just a kindness for mere acquaintances.
