I’m Having Trouble With a High School Girl I Meet on the Commuter Train Who for Some Reason Has Take

Chapter 25: - June 19 (Friday): Yuika's Good Idea

‘I’m looking forward to the next presentation. It’s going to be really, really fun to see Sasamiya-san’s futile efforts.’

 

When I saw the message from Kaedezaka, I sighed deeply.

 

Kaedezaka was going to be one of the judges for the presentation.

 

As I expected, Kaedezaka seemed to be planning to hinder me.

 

“Good morning, Onii-San”

 

“Hey, Yuika.”

 

On my way to work, Yuika called out to me as usual.

 

Her casual greeting made me realize that the day was about to begin.

 

Perhaps that’s what Yuika is thinking, too?

 

If that’s the case, I think it’s cute, but …, well, there’s no …

 

“Oya? Are you in trouble?”

 

“I haven’t said anything yet, so why are you talking so superior to me?”

 

“Because you are Onii-San.”

 

“My caste needs to be a little higher.”

 

As usual, she didn’t hold back.

 

It was said so casually that it stung my heart even more.

 

But it was Yuika.

 

It was obvious that she would poke her head in here.

 

“Did something happen again?”

 

“Well, yes. Certainly there has been.”

 

“Talk to me.”

 

“It’s not that important.”

 

“I see.”

 

Yuika didn’t ask any more questions.

 

I couldn’t carelessly talk about it because it was my job. Moreover, it also involved Kaedezaka, so it was hard to talk about it with Yuika.

 

However, the typical Yuika would have press onaggressively, but today she was very understanding.

 

It was an unexpected reaction that threw me off track.

 

“You’re not going to pry into me today.”

 

“There’s no point in asking you about something you don’t want to talk about.”

 

“… I see. Okay.”

 

“Yeah.”

 

“Right, …”

 

That was true.

 

I couldn’t just talk about my work to an outsider.

 

Yes, this was the best for both of us.

 

However, I felt a little sad that she didn’t care about me.

 

“Ah. By the way, Yuuka. I was wondering if we could make small talk.”

 

“You’re going to talk after all. Yeah, sure.”

 

“It’s nothing important.”

 

“Yeah, yeah. So?”

 

Her ‘I know everything about you’ attitude was annoying, but let’s just talk about it as much as we can.

 

“Actually, a psychopathic woman who looks like a malicious hacker hates me. I’m afraid she’s going to interfere with my work.”

 

“Wow. She’s similar to a wicked woman in a painting.”

 

That evil woman is Yuika, your senpai.

 

However, let’s keep that part hidden, as expected.

 

I don’t know what Kaedezaka will do when she finds out I exposed her.

 

“Oh, by the way, what kind of work do you do?”

 

“Oh, I didn’t tell you. I am in an advertising agency that undertakes event campaigns.”

 

“You mean like Comiket1 or something like that? You’re good at that, aren’t you?”

 

Perhaps for the first time, Yuika showed some interest in me.

 

Well, usually when people heard the word “event”, they would think of something flashy like Comiket.

 

“Sorry to disappoint you, but it’s mainly a promotional campaign for supermarkets and electronics stores.”

 

“The ones where they play roulette in front of the store?”

 

“Yeah, that.”

 

“… Is kind of plain.”

 

“That’s how everyone reacts.”

 

In addition to roulette, there were many other activities to do, such as goldfish scooping, ring toss, and getting into a costume.

 

But it was still very simple.

 

Yuika tapped her dainty chin with her index finger, deep in thoughts.

 

“A way to prevent harassment. Hmmm. What kind of a person is this evil woman?”

 

Kaedezaka’s job description?

 

If I called her a “V-tuber”, Yuika might find out that the evil woman was Kaedezaka.

 

Let’s just keep it simple.

 

‘Yeah, … It’s the one that’s involved in making digital content.”

 

――then Yuika cut off her breathing with a “hmm”.

 

“That’s it.”

 

“You got an idea?”

 

“I have an idea. You want to hear it?”

 

“I’d like to hear it.”

 

She turned to look at me with eyes full of confidence.

 

This looked promising.

 

“Let’s see, my senpai knows a lot about digital stuff.”

""

 

“…, Yuika’s senpai?”

 

“Yes. So I’m sure she can help you.”

 

No, wait.

 

That can’t be Kaedezaka, can it?

 

But I’m sure she’s not the only senior.

 

Let’s ask her for more information.

 

“.., What kind of person is she?”

 

“She’s the girl I went to the outlet mall with, hmm. She’s a bit of a maverick.”

 

“… What is her name?”

 

“Kaedezaka-san. She’s been doing some Vtuber stuff lately, so I think she knows a lot about the digital industry.”

 

Yes … confirmed.

 

From Yuika’s point of view, she may be a reliable senior; but the other party was the one who started this problem.

 

It was a nice proposal, but I had to decline.

 

“I’m glad that you feel the way you do, Yuika, but …, as expected, it’s bad to involve your senior in …”

 

“Oh, I’m sorry. I’ve already contacted her.”

 

“You did?”

 

Before I could say no, Yuika had sent a message to Kaedezaka.

 

Why do girls type so fast?

 

“She wants to meet tomorrow. It’s Saturday. Can you make it?”

 

“… Ah.”

 

I didn’t know what kind of text the reply from Kaedezaka would be, but she would definitely be angry.

 

It was scary ….

 

“There’s a diner near my house, I’ll meet you there at eleven o’clock. And I want you to buy me lunch.”

 

“I am buying lunch?”

 

“Do I have to answer that?”

 

“I’ll buy you a drink.”

 

“Thanks.”

 

I didn’t expect that my day off would be ruined, and even had to buy Kaedezaka lunch. …

 

I’m already feeling the turbulence. ……
