for Advance Chapter
Saturday.
Yu and Takuya came to the aquarium together.
Now we are waiting in line to buy tickets.
"...Why do two guys have to come to a place like this?"
"Haha, don't say such cold things, Yu."
Under the hot sun, Yu and Takuya are alone together, surrounded by couples and families.
"I explained, scouting for a date."
"...Yeah. I know that."
"I said ok with it as long as you promised to treat me to lunch."
Even if you say that, Yu thought. Looking around, he saw people giggling and laughing happily.
Even though Yui had been stolen from him, it wasn't like she had grown to dislike Takuya, so going out like this was no problem. However, she felt extremely out of place.
"Plus, this is a good opportunity for me. You had a fight with Yui recently, right? I hope you make up soon."
There was only one thing that Yu was worried about when he met Takuya today. That was whether Yui had told Takuya about what had happened the other day. However, it seemed like it would be difficult for her to tell him that she had forcibly taken her virginity, and Takuya didn't seem to know anything about it.
"You guys seem to be feeling awkward, so I asked Yui, but she said she doesn't talk to Yu anymore. That's why I'm telling you."
"I see."
I thought maybe he was leaning a little more to my side, but that didn't seem to be the case. At least on the surface.
After all that, there must have been some change in her feelings, even if she couldn't tell her boyfriend, Takuya. Yu is convinced that if he keeps conveying his charms to Yui by any means, she will eventually notice.
"What did you do? This is the first time I've seen Yui that angry."
"Well, a lot of things. Like a little misunderstanding."
"Please make up soon. I don't want things to go wrong between my friend and his girlfriend."
"More importantly, we should be scouting the area now."
He changed the topic by saying that that's why the two men had come all the way here.
If they continued talking about this for too long, Yu might give up and, worse still, Takuya might find out what had happened up until that point.
"Well then, let's buy a ticket and go inside."
"I agree"
The two of them pay the fee and go inside.
"It's still dark."
Once inside, the dazzling sunlight from a moment ago was gone, and it felt a little too dark for Yu and the others who were used to it. Still, with the aquarium tank lit up and pale blue light everywhere, the room had a fantastical beauty.
The comfortable room temperature and beautiful interior make this the perfect place for couples to spend time together.
"If it's this much, I don't think she'll notice if I bring Yui here."
Just as Takuya had predicted, it was dimly lit, and the other guests were either busy talking to their companions or watching the fish swimming in the tank, and none of them seemed to care about the people around them.
"By the way, how is the relationship between the two of you?"
"Two people? You mean me and Yui?"
"Yeah. I think this is your first time dating someone, Takuya. I'm worried about that email too."
He lies and says that he is not the culprit and is just worried, and tries to find out if Takuya has noticed anything.
"Yeah. Yui hasn't said anything to me since then, so it seems like she's okay."
Takuya hasn't heard anything from Yui since she asked for advice over the email. Yui can't tell him anything even if she wants to, because Yu told her not to. Even if that wasn't the case, there's no way she could tell her boyfriend, Takuya, that he forced her to give him a blowjob and took her virginity.
"I don't think we ever fight or anything. We'd sneak out to a secluded spot in the daytime to eat lunch together, or hide and go home together, but there's nothing interesting going on."
Although Takuya said that, a slight grin appeared on his face as he remembered that incident.
"It looks like a lot of fun considering that."
"picture?"
"Your mouth is grinning."
"...Seriously? Well, when I think that she's that Yui, it makes sense. When I watch her on TV and see her on screen as if it's the most natural thing in the world, it's amazing. The makeup and outfits and everything give her a totally different vibe."
Yui doesn't usually wear much makeup, so when she wears makeup for the shoot and wears clothes she doesn't usually wear, we get to see a different side of her. It's amazing how this contrast can only be seen by Yu and Takuya, who are just high school girls.
"Yes, yes, I don't want to hear any boasting."
"I wouldn't call it bragging. In the first place, I haven't done much to make me bragging about it to other people."
If a typical high school boy had a girlfriend, there would be just one thing he wanted to do. But because of club activities and acting jobs, their schedules don't line up as they would like, and Takuya and Yui don't get to do much as a couple.
That's why Takuya is excited about the trip to the beach that Yui has invited him on.
I want to see her in a swimsuit, and I have gotten her permission in advance to do some naughty things. It's impossible not to have high expectations as a man of that age.
Not knowing that Yui's virginity has already been taken by her friend right in front of her, she looks forward to that day.
"By the way, what do girls like to see?"
There is an aquarium in front of me. However, this is an aquarium, and there are tanks of various sizes, with a wide variety of fish in them. There are grotesque-looking fish, colorful fish, and in the larger tank a little further away, there are turtles and small sharks.
He probably wants to find someone among them that Yui will like and show her his good side.
"A girl, or more specifically, Yui-chan. Right? Hmm... I guess you like it."
I went to the aquarium on a school trip in elementary school, and Yui was with me. I remember being happy in front of a certain fish, but it was a memory from many years ago, so I can't remember it right away.
"...Ah. Jellyfish."
"picture?"
"I remember going to an aquarium on a field trip in elementary school a long time ago, and I remember staring at some big jellyfish, how fluffy and cute they were... I think."
I can't tell the exact type of it, but it was definitely a jellyfish.
"Jellyfish? Jellyfish are rare in aquariums."
Generally, popular attractions at aquariums include colorful tropical fish, dolphins, and penguins.
"Well, I guess that's typical. Not being swayed by what other people like and instead looking at what you really like."
Especially in elementary school, people often look to others to find the right opinion. However, Yui had a strong sense of self even back then.
"Jellyfish, right? Thanks Yu. I'll make sure to look at the jellyfish more when we go on a date. As expected of a childhood friend, you're a big help."
(That's right, I've been with Yui-chan longer than you and I know a lot more, so I can make her happier.)
Yu secretly mocks him for not knowing that, but then gloats in triumph.
"Okay, let's go look around and find other places that Yui might like."
"That's right. Let's finish this quickly and go home."
Although Yu isn't particularly keen on the idea of two guys touring the aquarium together, just finding out that Yui hasn't said anything to Takuya is a learning experience for him.
"What's the matter, Yu? Let's have some fun while we're here."
"picture?"
"Even if two guys came to the aquarium to check it out for a date, that doesn't mean we can't have fun."
"You're quite curious."
"Really? I think I said this before, but I want to take care of not only my girlfriend but also my friends. To be honest, the reason I invited Yu today was because I wanted to check things out, but I also wanted to go out with him and have fun together for the first time in a while."
It was hard to see her complexion because the room was dark, but Yu thought she must have looked embarrassed.
"How embarrassing..."
"Did you dislike it?"
"I don't mind, really. We're friends after all."
Aside from the Yui incident, he considers Takuya a good friend.
"I see, that's good then. Let's look around some more."
With that said, Takuya started walking, and Yu followed after him.
