BHSAF 183 School trip 11

　next morning.

　Today is the second day of the school trip, a free day that many students are looking forward to.

　For breakfast, each class will use a large room in the hotel for group guests, and only rice can be refilled as much as you like.

　The food laid out on the table was Japanese cuisine made with ingredients from Kyoto, and for Yu, who usually only had bread and instant miso soup for breakfast, it was a feast, and the taste was impeccable.

　However, his classmates who were in sports clubs seemed unsatisfied, and one after another they finished off the rice and asked for seconds.

　My classmates were eating, but some of them looked sleepy.

(I bet he was up past lights out anyway)

　If you're sharing a room with close friends at a hotel during a school trip, a major event for students, it's not surprising that you'd feel reluctant to fall asleep early. Even though teachers patrol the area, they don't come often. When you find a chance, you can enjoy chatting about love, ghost stories, or just casual conversation.

　Even if you don't have a smartphone, it's an essential item for young people today. As it's a hotel, you can use the Wi-Fi and charge your phone, which is great.

　However, since Yu was in an unfamiliar place and was tired after his passionate lovemaking with Yui, he fell asleep soundly immediately and was not sleep deprived at all.

　While his classmates were busy chatting and having seconds with their friends, there was no time to eat, but Yu was silently eating as he normally would at home, and ended up finishing his meal first.

　There are no restrictions on where I have to be for the short time until free time, so I can go back to my room right away, but it takes a bit of courage to leave while my classmates are still eating.

　There was no need to worry about what others thought, but as I was casually looking around to see if anyone else had finished eating, I happened to make eye contact with Yui.

　Yui then narrowed her eyes happily and began waving her hand gently at Yu.

　There's no need to hide the fact that they love each other anymore. Last night they confessed their feelings to each other and are now officially lovers.

　However, only Yu and his friends know about it.

　A female student next to her noticed Yui waving, and looked in the direction she was waving, towards Yu, with a confused expression on her face, her eyes going back and forth between the two of them several times.

　However, she continued to wave as if she didn't care, and when Yu hesitated to wave back due to embarrassment, Yui's expression gradually became sadder. Seeing this, Yu hurriedly waved back, and flashed an angelic smile.

　Yu was happy just to see that expression, but he soon couldn't see it because of the female student next to Yui.

　He immediately spoke to Yui, asking her what was going on.

　It's likely that within a few hours, her classmates will know about it. Yui has a new boyfriend. What's more, it's Yu, who is completely different from her ex-boyfriend, Takuya. While many people know that the two are childhood friends, there's probably no one who even remotely considered them dating.

　In the midst of all this, the two of them started dating. Moreover, it had not been long since Yui and Takuya had broken up, and there were no signs that she would start dating Yu.

　If he stayed, he would be bombarded with opportunities and questions, so Yu decided to leave before that happened.

　I walked alone down the hallway, where my classmates were nowhere to be found, back to my room and sat down on my bed.

　From now on, Yuu will be seen as Yui's boyfriend, which means he can't show any shame. If things continue like this, someone will try to step in, just like Yuu did when Yui and Takuya started dating.

　Even if something like that were to happen, Yuu is confident he can protect Yui. However, that situation would put a strain on Yui. If Yuu protects Yui, it means that someone else is targeting her. In other words, it would be best to avoid that situation.

　This would be a bit of a hardship for Yuu, who had lived his life without worrying about what others thought of him. However, if it meant being with Yui, it wouldn't be a hardship. That would be too small a price to pay for being with Yui.

　When I think about it, it's been a long time.

　When he first heard that Takuya and Yui had started dating, he was consumed by murky emotions and spent his days in gloom. But then Yu took action to get his beloved Yui back from the pathetic Takuya, and in the end it turned out to be the best situation for both of them.

　Yui is a mismatch for Takuya, who ignores his girlfriend's SOS and makes advances on other women despite having a girlfriend.

"But that's over now, you know."

　He plays and watches the video of Takuya and Mina kissing, immersing himself in pleasure.

　To Yu, Takuya is a hopeless man, but he still acknowledges his good looks and athletic ability. The fact that such a man is being used by Yu makes him feel good.

"I have a video of him clearly cheating on me..."

　Yu and his friends are still in their second year of high school. If this video were to leak now, Takuya would be ostracized for a year as a cheating man. And Mina, the woman he cheated with, is still a first-year student, so she would be looked upon in this way for more than half of her high school life.

　Rather than choosing that path, Takuya would probably choose to date Mina. Though she may be inferior to Yui, Mina is still quite attractive among the girls at this high school. Besides, Takuya, who is a promising member of the soccer club, and Mina, the soccer club's manager, make a perfectly suitable couple.

"From now on, we'll just be us and you can have your own fun, Takuya."
