The Hashimoto Rena

Friendship Chain

Some get a school-age romance that makes them forget their future life goals, but for Dai himself, he feels he needs love.

Yusuke does not make fun of his friend, believing that Dai is thinking of having a girlfriend, despite being far from handsome and a popular figure at school.

"I thought you were just looking for strength. I didn't expect you to want Dai's boyfriend either."

"Does senior have any advice that I have a boyfriend?"

"It may seem difficult, but do not give up, because there is such a thing as love, not looking at the physical."

"Yes, it looks like there might be a place where that would happen."

"If there was such a thing, it would be like heaven..."

Yusuke smiled weakly.

The most melodious voice came from the girl he loved the most; yusuke smiled at Rena who was coming towards him.

"Yusuke-kun, are you the same as Dai? Dai why?"

Yusuke leans on a bench in the school garden and tells her that Dai wants a girlfriend and is going on a date.

"It's spring for Dai" said Rena ceria.

"Rena-chan, do you have any acquaintances that Dai can suggest?"

"My only friends are Minami, Ayumi, and Midori."

"Only them?"

"Just they are close to me."

Dai leaned back with a feeling of uneasiness. He looked at the blue sky and turned his head when he felt too bright.

"It's hard to be good ..."

"It's easy and stay sure ..."

Under the supervision of Yusuke and Rena, the two often secretly follow Dai, who tries to lure high schoolers into her class and other classes.

“It's an injustice where the handsome is number one,” muttered Yusuke feeling sorry for Dai.

"When he was a good man" Rena murmured.

"Rena-chan, what do you think of Dai right now? Like you said, he's better than ever?"

"Yes. Dai is very good now, not the same as before."

"If I'm Dai, do you still like me, Rena-chan?"

"Mmm, maybe hehe..."

"I don't think you can, kekeke..."

Rena blushed red for not being able to deny it.

While at home, Rena and Yusuke plan for Dai to have a girlfriend, they want to help Dai in many ways.

"It's hard as long as I'm looking for information that a lot of people don't like, Dai ..."

"The reason he looks like a gorilla?"

Rena tried not to laugh.

"Ehem yes, mostly as an excuse."

"Many don't know Dai is very rich and good enough."

Rena smiled at Yusuke's muttering and thought seriously.

Rena massaged Yusuke's shoulder as Rena stood behind him, she purposely moved behind Yusuke who from the beginning wanted to massage him.

"I'm having trouble with Yusuke-kun."

"Better easier massage."

"Um, which is easier to massage?"

Look down."

"Mmmm..."

Rena blushing red.

Back to the day of the summer festival where Ayumi is different from her old self.

Rena felt rather uncomfortable being around Minami, who did not look friendly due to her sluggish appearance. Ayumi was not much different, preferring to be quiet while playing social media on her phone.

Rena tried to calm herself down and asked, "Ayumi, are you busy?"

"I'm busy, can you see for yourself what I'm doing?"

Rena was speechless at Ayumi's unpleasant answer, while Minami just smiled in silence.

Seeing such an atmosphere, Yusuke looked at Rena with pity.

***

As Rena wonders what happened to her, Ayumi looks at her with dislike.

Minami got up and asked Ayumi, "I want to go to the Cafeteria, you want to come?"

"Yes, I'll come with you."

Seeing her boyfriend completely ignored by her friends, Yusuke's eyes widened.

"Minami, Ayumi, can I come with you?"

The two glanced at each other, and Minami replied, "Can. Let's go."

Yusuke who was in an uneasy mood saw what was happening in front of him, yes the first time he saw this situation, Rena was ignored by Minami and Ayumi, this was something he had expected, this was something he had expected, but it only exists in its original world.

"Is it all because of me? There's no way they have a grudge because even if Ayumi herself and Minami were closer, a romance grudge wouldn't be possible."

The more he looked at Yusuke, the more he couldn't stand it, he approached them, and Yusuke sat down and asked Rena to speak.

The so-called all-encompassing smile appeared on Rena's lips at this moment.

He gets caught up in his own thoughts, concluding that he is now shunned and antagonized by Minami and Ayumi.

Minami wanted to talk but was stopped by Ayumi's gaze.

Ayumi knew very well that in her current state, Minami should not speak. Minami chose silence and continued to enjoy her pudding.

Yusuke, who was very sensitive to what he saw and heard, already knew very well that the choice he had to take was to comfort his sad lover.

"Actually I don't want to talk like this, but I think it's too much if you're not friendly to Rena-chan."

Looking at Yusuke, Ayumi replied:

"Yusuke, I'm sorry, you misunderstood me, I'm busy with my phone. Look at myself, I'm playing social media, and I accidentally ignored Rena."

Some of the students who heard him spoke slowly, while some pretended not to hear what Yusuke said.

"Rena-chan, let's go, it's not good for us to stay here."

Yusuke got up, and Rena behind him also caught up with him.

Rena looked back and saw that neither Ayumi nor Minami spoke a word.

"Yusuke-kun, why do they hate me...?"

Rena asked Yusuke, and Yusuke turned around and replied.

"Maybe it's because I, you know, Ayumi defended Minami so much, right?"

"Yes, I know, so Ayumi doesn't like me?"

"I'm not sure maybe because of me, yeah, because of me again."

Yusuke held onto Rena's shoulder and said affectionately.

"Well, from now on don't be so jealous?"

"Sounds hard, and I've tried it many times, but in fact I always feel like I'm lying to you."

"Darling, don't be sad, look at me, I'm sure you can, don't get too discouraged, you can, you just have to strengthen your heart."

From what happens, Yusuke tells Rena: that being too focused on love sometimes and making things too hot will lead to some unwanted things in the future.

Everything that happened this time, Yusuke was worried for a long time, but he did not expect this to happen.

Rena buried her face on the left side of Yusuke's neck.

A teenage girl is very sorry and angry with what she is doing but she really does not want her boyfriend to be tempted and interested in other girls.

Rena is confused about everything she feels guilty about but she does not want to judge it completely wrong.
