"Stop blowing. I'm almost losing my way."
"Didn't I say this? This isn't flattery. This is my true thoughts." Hayakawa Yuki paused. "The BBQ buffet that day left a very deep impression on me."
"Because of that song?"
"Not entirely, but also because of the friendly atmosphere... Sorry, I said something irrelevant."
Yuki Hayakawa realized her slip of the tongue and quickly apologized.
The current atmosphere is not suitable for talking about the past.
"It's nothing to be confused about. Since it's been brought up, let's talk about it." Watanabe Yu paused, "I'm quite good at being a listener."
"……Really?"
Yuki Hayakawa pursed her thin lips and looked at him cautiously.
She also knew in her heart that if she said those words at this time, the wonderful and relaxed atmosphere would be completely over.
But somehow, like a dam that had been closed for a long time finally opened a small gate, she wanted to tell him those things.
"Fidelity."
"So, shall I tell you?"
"Please say."
Watanabe Yu pretended to listen attentively.
"I haven't had a private gathering with my classmates since the second year of junior high school."
There was a hint of self-mockery in Yuki Hayakawa's eyes, "Thinking back carefully, I was quite funny back then.
"In order to maintain the so-called 'friendship' relationship, I willingly became the scapegoat at the party, pretending not to hear the bad things they said about me behind my back, and being the nice guy who got the most angry.
“I always thought they treated me as a friend.
"After all, when it comes to external affairs, they will speak for me, even if it's just a few words.
"But then one day, I had a conflict with the girl who led the clique.
"It was obvious that she was wrong in that incident. She bullied the girls in the class who were easy to bully, forcing them to give her money, snacks and drinks. I also pointed this out, but the subsequent developments were completely beyond my imagination."
Having said that, she couldn't help but sigh.
"They all stood on the side of the leading girl without exception, right?"
Watanabe Yu took up the conversation.
"correct."
Yuki Hayakawa lowered her brows, and the woods were quiet. "It was at that time that I gradually realized that, in fact, I was not accepted by them from the beginning, or in other words, from the beginning, we were not the same kind of people.
"In their eyes, all my previous actions were just a shameless attempt to please them.
"For this, they will pay a little 'reward', such as a few words to the outside world.
“But if you think about it carefully, those words are totally false.
"They feel at ease with their efforts for me, but they also look down on it."
"... and then you broke up with them."
Watanabe Yu could imagine that scene.
"Yes." Hayakawa Yuki nodded gently, "I suddenly realized that this kind of relationship is meaningless, so after recognizing the facts, I chose to keep my distance from them.
“At the same time, I also told the teacher about their bullying of those girls.
“But the teachers were silent.
"After knowing this, they started to spread rumors about me in the class. They would target anyone who was even slightly close to me."
After she finished speaking, Yuki Hayakawa took a deep breath and continued, "After my mother found out about this, she came to the school and had a big fight with the school because of me.
"Finally, they calmed down a lot and apologized to me in person.
“But it didn’t get any better.
“I was still isolated, and even the girls who were bullied didn’t say a word for me.
"Until graduation, I was always the one left out in a series of group activities in class, and I was always the one no one wanted to join when forming a team in class.
"After I finally graduated, I thought about changing my image. If hot blonde girls were the upper echelons of the class's social circle, then I should be like that, too.
"I dyed my hair blonde and tried to imitate the voices of the Spice Girls, but no matter how hard I tried, I just felt uncomfortable.
"I can't be as mean as they are, I think it's wrong to be mean.
"Fortunately... after changing my environment, I made some really good friends."
Having said this, Yuki Hayakawa's brows gradually relaxed.
"I'm sorry. I wanted to talk to you about the club, but I ended up saying a lot of nonsense and pouring out a lot of my grievances on you."
She couldn't help but apologize again.
At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the beginning.
——The Hayakawa-san who loves to say thank you.
"Nothing, Hayakawa-san who loves to apologize."
Watanabe Yu teased her to liven up the atmosphere.
"Without your past, how can you talk about your present? Now that you have made friends like Maki, it's good."
He comforted her.
"Yes, Maki, she is really nice."
Yuki Hayakawa lowered her eyebrows, “It was during that period of time when I was alienated that I became less confident and gave up a lot of things.
“But now, I want to slowly pick them back up.”
The night wind blew, and a rustling sound was heard among the shade of the trees.
"You mean music?"
Watanabe Yu vaguely understood what she meant.
"Ah."
Yuki Hayakawa nodded, and then her tone became more like that of seeking credit.
"Watanabe, my singing and playing today were pretty good, right?"
She was quite satisfied with her current state, which was natural, leisurely and relaxed enough.
It's a bit close to the feeling my mother described.
“Not just good, it’s great!”
Yuu Watanabe corrected her.
"That's good."
Yuki Hayakawa breathed a sigh of relief.
His evaluation is particularly important to her.
"..."
After the words were spoken, the two fell into a brief silence.
"Yu!"
After taking several deep breaths, Yuki Hayakawa finally started talking.
Since she had decided to make a substantial breakthrough when she came here, she would do it and not give up halfway.
"Ok?"
Watanabe Yuu responded.
"I am a very despicable person. After pouring out a lot of grievances to you, I suddenly felt that I could take advantage of your sympathy at the moment and make demands on you."
Yuki Hayakawa's straightforwardness caught people off guard.
"…What do you want to ask?"
Watanabe Yuu suddenly became silent.
"I want to hold your hand like Hamabe-senpai."
Yuki Hayakawa is very frank.
"You're invincible, Hayakawa."
Watanabe Yu sighed.
Obviously, Yuki Hayakawa has mastered the true meaning of dialogue without any instruction, first analyzing herself and then confessing.
Under this premise, no one can say anything to her.
"So, is that okay?"
Yuki Hayakawa turned her head and looked at him.
Then she muttered softly again.
“Actually, I’m afraid of horror movies, too.”
While holding Yasuhara Risa's arm, she was also paying attention to the conversation on his end.
Just like Maki Takakura said, she can also be afraid of horror movies when necessary!
"…Remember to explain it to me when the time comes."
Watanabe Yu took her hand.
"Don't worry, I will keep silent when the time comes, especially to Senior Ryoko."
Yuki Hayakawa's tone was very sincere.

Chapter 116 Prelude
1:25 am, in the corridor of Kamakura Bay View Hotel.
"Tell me, what is the situation now!"
Wearing a yukata, Takakura Maki held Hayakawa Yuki's hand with shining eyes.
In fact, her gossipy soul had been stirring since the test of courage ended and everyone went home.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yuki's expression before the Test of Courage began and Yuki's expression on the way back after the Test of Courage ended were completely different.
But there were too many people at that time, and she had to consider the situation, so she has been patient until now.
"Shh, keep your voice down!"
Yuki Hayakawa lowered her voice and reminded her best friend in a coquettish tone.
At this time, most people are already resting.
"Good~"
Takakura Maki immediately lowered her voice and replied in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"You're speaking too quietly."
Yuki Hayakawa took Maki Takakura's hand and brought her to the courtyard of the hotel.
At the moment, the only sounds in the courtyard are the sound of startled deer (the small bamboo tube for pouring water in Japanese gardens) and the chirping of summer cicadas.
"You can finally talk about it now, right?"
Maki Takakura could hardly contain her curiosity.
