The school prince (♀) is only close to me (♂)

Chapter 4

(A/N Notes: How to describe Daichi in a few words: He had already lost)

*Eyeglasses cracking*

"Huh!?... HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHH!?"

Daichi was on the other side of the street as he saw a boy sitting down and sharing a table with Yuriko, and all he could feel at that scene happening in front of his very eyes was despair

<Nonononononono... There's no way that's happening, right?... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! Of course, it's happening, you idiot! It's happening in front of my eyes!... No... Let's think for a minute... The only possible reason why she's sharing a table with a boy is... That boy is her relative or blackmailed her or is her friend... Nah! There's no way a boy could be her friend when even I'm not that close to her>

He was denying that last possibility because he didn't want to believe that he was already losing to another boy he didn't know about when it came to Yuriko

<... Alright! Let's get into action! Depending on whether or not he's her relative, I'll probably get into a fight>

He decided to go in there with the intention of helping Yuriko, though he would be the one needing help in a little while

Meanwhile inside the restaurant

"I'm back, so did you order something already?"

"No, I was waiting for you to come back"

"I see, thanks for waiting"

Takeru had gone to the restroom, and right after coming back he was already looking at the menu, and after a quick look he signaled for a waiter to come to their table

"You already decided?"

"Yup, and have you decided what you want already?"

"Yes, I have"

And when she confirmed, a waiter came

"Are you ready to order?"

"Yes, I want this, this and to drink I want this"

"Got it, and are you ready to order, my good lady"

"Yes, I'll want this one, and to drink I want this"

The waiter tried to woo Yuriko, but she was unfazed and just made her order without reacting to it

"You sure are desired by many, huh"

"I guess so, and what about you? Don't you also desire me?"

"Nope, I'm not that interested in romance especially if it ends up involving me"

"Is that so? That's... Different, I guess"

And as the two talked between themselves a certain someone approached them without trying to raise suspicions

"H, Hey! Y, Yuriko-san, w, what a c, coincidence to f, find you h, here"

"Ara! Vice-prez. Daichi-san, what a surprise to see you here"

"Y, yeah! I'm a, also s, surprised t, to see y, you here, Y, Yuriko-san"

Daichi was doing his best to talk with Yuriko without turning beet red or screaming in embarrassment

"B, by the way, w, who i, is he?"

Daichi then pointed at Takeru, who was now using his phone

"He's Tanaka Takeru, a new friend of mine"

*Eyeglasses cracking further*

"H, he... He's y, your f, f, f, f, friend!?"

His face and voice were filled with despair
