The Hashimoto Rena

Just Realized It

His face was not thick enough to look for him. Yusuke did not say much as long as he saw Rena returning to focus on Takeru. One could see that Rena was now trying to be friendly to Takeru who gave an unusual smile.

'Everything was like at the beginning, he also had to bond with Takeru. According to what is in the game. I'll make sure that he'll be okay just. If the system tells me to keep doing it, I'll keep doing it.'

Keiko Minami sat not far from the bench where Yusuke was. Minami looked and smiled, she approached herself with the chair she was carrying to get closer to Yusuke.

Minami spoke in a low voice, she brought Yusuke to another place so as not to be too saddened by the sight that Yusuke was seeing right now. With a nod of his head, Yusuke received him leave without saying goodbye with Rena, who was now looking towards the two of them leaving. Fumiko Ayumi with a smile on her lips, she noticed a faint change in Rena's facial expression when she returned to normal.

Ayumi does not expect Minami to actually dare to take action to tempt Yusuke to find out what Rena's response feels like. Ayumi exhaled agitatedly, she felt uneasy with her own friends so they knew what their friend's response would be like if they did it on purpose.

Yusuke walked with Minami, everyone staring at the two of them with curious eyes.

"Are you so sad that you won't even talk to me?"

"Yes?"

"Why, huh? I asked you sad?"

"I'm not sad, why am I sad?"

"Very cool, you're not sad about dating in such a short time, hehehe."

Yusuke smiled meaningfully, waiting for the notification from the system. Yusuke did not want to be like this to keep his distance. However, he had to do it to protect Hashimoto Rena's feelings.

"Mmmm..."

Minami seemed to be humming as she thought of something, she smiled and spoke.

"What do you like most about our Rena?"

"Because she's so pretty, I like her because she's pretty."

“Hahahaha, your way of speaking is strange, so you like it because Rena-chan is beautiful?”

"Yes like that."

"Yusuke-kun, am I pretty or not?"

Yusuke sees her, and answers Minami's question.

"You're beautiful, but yes Minami can't match Rena."

"I understand, it's a pity that I lost to our Rena."

Their path came to a halt after arriving at a random place due to being too engrossed in chatting.

They arrived at a quiet basketball court.

All students prefer an indoor basketball court.

Yusuke entered the room and went to where the basketball was in the basket.

Minami sitting near the bench available there, she sees Yusuke playing basketball alone.

Minami, who is ignorant, approaches and tries to prank Yusuke with a hug.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Hehehe, I am comforting you."

Yusuke tries to stay calm, the high school teenager hugs him. Yusuke kindly had only two options to forbid, or allow.

From somewhere else there was Hashimoto Rena peeking, she was startled and turned away.

When he returned to look for Takeru, he stopped walking and looked back.

'She already has something she needs to love. Nakajima-san will definitely be happy in the future.'

He shook his head for a moment and took a deep breath.

And he had been looking forward to being with Takeru unhindered.

***

Hashimoto Rena wakes up early and has breakfast. He who was already very prepared excitedly opened the door and when he opened the gate he was shocked. Yusuke was in front of him, he was still behaving normally by greeting.

"Good morning, Nakajima-san. Are you here for something?"

"Hahaha, what a strange question. I came to get you."

It's been a week without talking to each other, and now he's coming to pick her up?

Rena felt happy because she thought maintaining that distance was not good. And it would be more appropriate to be a good friend. While walking together, Yusuke suddenly spoke.

"... Because we don't fit in, you know, we have a partner with each other, right?"

Yusuke already knew what was happening in the basketball court room. He got a notification from the system. Yusuke suddenly also gets orders from the system to get Hashimoto Rena back. What she saw now was the awkward Rena, her points also increasing into one.

They arrive at the bus stop, and return to their original ways to protect Rena. When they arrive near the school gate, the ones who most often argue with familiar voices are Ayumi and Minami.

Minami with a curious look she is curious about Yusuke who looks familiar with Rena.

"Have you guys gotten along?"

Minami's question got a nod from Rena.

"It's good if you guys get along, it's really good for you guys."

In the afternoon Yusuke was serving his sentence for cleaning the toilet. The one who was not far from his place now was Minami. He starts to get closer and helps even though Yusuke has often banned him.

"Are you not tired of always helping me?"

"Hehehe, we're friends and we have to help each other."

"Certainly that?"

"Yes-yes of course."

For a while they just kept quiet and cleaned the toilet until it was over.

Yusuke wants to take Rena home.

However, seeing that Takeru was now accompanying her, Yusuke fell silent and did not want to start trouble.

"Why daydreaming? Did you think about it?"

"Yes, I thought about it."

"Is that so? Rena-chan is lucky that someone is watching her."

"Do you want me to watch?"

"Eh...?"

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding" Yusuke said.

She obviously knew that Minami liked her.

There was no order from the system that just told him to get Rena back. He just finds it hard to do it. He had to make her like him first. Yusuke was on his way home to take Minami who lived not far from school. Cheap apartments for rent. And that's enough for people who live alone. Yusuke refused to enter because he had to go home immediately on the grounds that there was another job.

"Do you work part-time?"

"Yes, I work part-time. I'll go home first."

"alright. Too bad, I'll see you tomorrow, Yusuke-kun."

Minami leaned back after entering the house.

'Isn't this too far away, I actually like it?'

Minami hurriedly ran to the bathroom until she almost slipped.

Finally, Rena's dream came true.

Takeru drove her home.

What was it that he had wanted for so long but suddenly everything became strange?

The journey home was really awkward for him and was different when he was with Yusuke.

Rena is restless in her sleep? He thought about how one could think of others?

He covered his eyes with his arms and thought badly of his wishy-washy self.

'I like Takeru-kun ...'

She is saddened by Takeru's lack of attention which she considers her first love.

'If he would talk a lot and keep teasing me. Nakajima...'

Rena closed her mouth even though she spoke in her mind.

“Ah, why think about it..?”

Suddenly the memory of the scene at the gate of the house flashed in an instant.
