Chapter 92 Kono Yuzuki
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Haruto~! Let’s have lunch~”
”Alright, let’s go to our usual spot!”
On warm, sunny days, they eat on the grass.
This is a regular routine for Akane and Haruto.
That day, after getting the video from Ryuichi and showing him the recorded confession, they warned him to stay away from them forever.
Whether it was the warning or Haruto’s actions, no one has seen Ryuichi since.
It seems he hasn’t been to university either.
No one knows if he dropped out or took a leave, but Haruto doesn’t care enough to find out.
What worries him more is how Akane and he are doing.
Akane was shocked to learn she had been filmed without her knowledge.
But the situation of the person who did it was so sad that she actually felt sorry for them.
However, since that day, she never goes to the bathroom alone.
She always goes with friends and seems to switch stalls, confusing those who don’t know what happened.
She acts like nothing happened, but there are definitely scars left.
”As expected, Akane’s cooking is delicious!”
”Hehehe, but Haruto’s rice balls are delicious too!”
Akane makes side dishes every day and brings them to Haruto. In return, Haruto makes rice balls every day and brings them to her.
”Hm? Isn’t that Kono-senpai walking towards us?”
”Ah! You’re right… Kono-senpai~… let’s eat together~!”
And the one who took the biggest blow… Kono Yuzuki, a second-year economics student. Her wound is quite deep.
”Uh… w-would it be okay if someone like me joined you…?”
”Of course!”
”…But, I… did something terrible to the two of you…”
The day Haruto noticed Kono-senpai’s mental health issue, he tried using his ability to help.
She said she felt relief, like the darkness had lifted, but by the next day, she was back to the same state.
Haruto’s treatment only restored her brain’s balance temporarily.
At that time, you might no longer feel anxiety, but it only provides temporary relief.
However, Haruto stays positive. Being able to notice mental health issues he once thought impossible is not a bad thing.
”It’s okay! We solved it together, didn’t we!”
”…Well, that──that’s true, but…”
If you don’t know, you might just think, “That’s a strange person, huh?” But if you know, there’s always a small way to help.
”Hehehe, well then, let’s eat together~”
”…T-then, excuse me…”
For mental healing, he thinks time will do more than his ability. He hope that time can bring at least a little peace to her heart.
”By the way, Kono-senpai, did you quit the tennis club?”
”…Y-yeah…there are no good memories in that club room…”
”I see. I hope you find something you can become passionate about.”
Exercising to refresh the body, getting absorbed in something to forget time—it might be hard all at once, but he hopes it happens.
”Then, you should join the massage research club! It feels good and you can relax.”
”…I, I’m just a burden, so…”
”That’s not true! Right, Haruto? Don’t you think so too?”
After hearing Akane’s suggestion, Haruto feels a little uneasy.
Could it be that she doesn’t feel stressed exposing her skin in front of him, after what she went through?
If so, it might have the opposite effect.
”Why not try it together a few times and decide then?”
Even at the same university, the medical and economics faculties rarely meet.
From Haruto’s perspective, if Kono-senpai joins the massage research club, he’d see her a few times a week, which feels reassuring.
So, he proposed it.
”…If it’s that, then… please…”
Although their meeting wasn’t ideal, Haruto and Akane’s relationship continued as friends after graduating from university.
The relationship with Kono Yuzuki started like this.
