The Hashimoto Rena

Friend's Return

Rena was still thinking about what Yusuke said to think not to get jealous easily, she thought of all that while in class.

The voice that called out to her was Midori, and she looked at Rena anxiously.

"Rena-chan, are you in trouble?"

"Yes, I'm in serious trouble."

Rena remembers that the friendship will not change if she stays quiet, and she has a strong desire to see Minami and Ayumi again.

"Midori, do you want to come with me? I want to take you."

"Where?"

"You don't?"

"Yes I want to."

Midori goes with Rena, and Takeru sees the two of them right now, and she is curious about their goals.

"Isn't that Rena and Midori..."

Takeru followed them.

As Rena and Midori arrive at the place they were looking for, Rena sees Yusuke and Minami walking together, the two chatting so affectionately, Rena's jealous nature reappearing.

Rena clenched her hands tightly and shook her head, she was sure Yusuke must have good intentions, since it was impossible for Yusuke to cheat on her and leave her.

"Rena-chan, you're pale, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, looks like we don't have to go there first."

"Why don't you want to talk to Minami?"

Rena and Midori looked back, and Takeru spoke:

"I don't think he's a good guy. You see, they are very close. Surely he didn't tell you, Rena-chan?"

Rena called out Takeru's name without Kun's frills, in a firm voice.

"Why are you talking like that? Takeru, I don't like it when you talk like that."

Takeru and Midori were shocked because Rena's tone of voice was full of emotion.

Takeru turned to look at Midori.

"Do you want to be with him? If you follow him, you'll be like him."

Rena turned her head to look towards Midori, and Midori's expression became incomprehensible.

Rena who was initially hesitant, asked the two of them.

"You two are dating?"

Takeru smiled lightly and opened his mouth before Midori was about to speak.

"You can think of it that way."

"Takeru-kun's..."

Midori tried to stop him, but Takeru was still talking.

"You don't have to be uncomfortable, we're actually dating right now."

As the two left, Rena leaned against the wall, what was surprising was what Takeru did.

If everything goes back to the back; 'why is he trying to attract Takeru's attention?'

"It's really funny in hindsight, so obviously it shouldn't be. I'm grateful that I have Yusuke-kun."

Rena admits in her heart that she can't lose it, she doesn't want to lose the love she has now, and she has to keep it at all costs.

Rena took a deep breath, getting worried about what might not happen.

"Yusuke-kun isn't like him. Yusuke-kun really wants me, doesn't he?"

She smiles.

"of course. I've given it to you, you really are stupid Hashimoto Rena..."

As soon as the class bell rang, Yusuke went looking for Rena, but did not find her figure, until he felt someone pulling and clinging to her.

"Yusuke-kun dear, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, I was looking for you, why are you suddenly acting so spoiled...?"

"Where have you been? I'm looking for you too."

"I met Minami."

Rena asked with affection.

"Is it because of my problem, you met Minami?"

"You could say that.honey, you stick too much..."

"Can't that be?"

"Ahem, what kind of question is this? Of course you can, but a lot of people who see us, are not ashamed? "

"NO. After all, everyone knows that you're mine and I'm yours?"

"Geez, you're so cute, but remember now we're at school."

Rena thought she would go on a date with Yusuke alone, but it turned out that Minami and Ayumi were there too.

Take the reason for the peace mentioned by Yusuke at the cafe meeting.

It didn't take long, everything was perfect that day, and they let go of all the problems that happened.

"This way we can get together, have more fun, and be happy!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

When the three girls just finished their drinks, Yusuke suddenly felt dizzy.

"How long have you been like this, haven't you been friends for so long?"

Ayumi took a deep breath and said.

"The thing is you, I just don't want to interfere. Minami, tell me what you want to talk about."

"What do I want to talk about Ayumi?"

Ayumi held onto her phone, she didn't care, she just followed along, not wanting to disturb the increasingly embarrassing atmosphere.

He tries to stay away, but Minami is persuaded by Yusuke's persuasion, and they end up like this.

"We can't be like this forever. Me and Yusuke-kun had a discussion while at school. He made me think more mature and treated Rena better. All right, let's be friends, Rena-chan."

Hearing Minami's rigid and silly way of speaking, Rena blinked.

Minami blushed as she realized her awkward way of speaking made Ayumi whisper, "You're like an idiot."

Yusuke smiled awkwardly.

"Ha-ha-ha, for future friends, what matters is our friendship right? Rena-chan?"

Rena turned her head and responded to Yusuke's words with a playful smile.

Minami extended her hand on the table, and Ayumi and Rena also extended their hands on the table.

"Ahem, do I have to do it too?"

They looked at Yusuke with gazes waiting in unison.

"Must I do the same?"

They answered in unison: "Yes!"

The three girls all laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became very enthusiastic, Yusuke also laughed, and everyone who was there chuckled.

They went to the clothing store, and Yusuke waited boredly for almost half an hour.

"I'm glad they get along well, but why shopping takes so much time ..."

Yusuke leaned back tiredly.

An hour later, they were in another location, filled with people lining up for the movie that had just been screened in theaters.

Yusuke is surprised by the request to let him go home and put the groceries at home.

Yusuke complied with a smile, waiting for a taxi, with the goal of returning home.

Hikari saw Yusuke coming home with a lot of hard-to-carry groceries, Hikari just smiled with concern.

"Rena's busy with her friend? It's so rare, he can be far away from you."

"Ha-ha-ha yes, but this is good for Rena-chan in this way she and her friends have plenty of time to play."

"Ara~ Yusuke-kun, you talk like a father who lets his daughter play, hehe, it's funny that you talk like an adult at a young age."

Yusuke put all the groceries, almost all the clothes, he put in the living room.

Yusuke took a glass of orange juice from Hikari, who was sitting next to Yusuke.

"It must be very tiring to go shopping with girls, right?"

"Not tired, very happy, no burden."

"Is that so? Then can you fix the leaking faucet for me? The water keeps dripping."

"Ha, I'll do it!"

Yusuke was really crying in his heart, he was very sorry to talk not tired while carrying the groceries.

"Can you fix it?"

"... could..."

"Geez, you can fix it, like a versatile tool."

"Uh, versatile tool?"

Hikari smiled mischievously to keep what she said.

"You look like Rena-chan when you smile."

"That's it, maybe because I'm his mother. Does it look the same? I think the imitation is fun too, she's as pretty as I am, right?"

"of course. To be honest, I almost thought you were Rena-chan."
