Side Heroine

50

Chapter 50: Can't Sleep.

As I expected during dinner my mother would often say things like "I wish you could stay here longer." Regardless of her wishes, she will be going home tomorrow as planned.

Sara spending time here is fun for a few days, but staying at a friend's house for a long time can become a problem. Even for me, it's easier to spend time with Sara at her house than at my house.

Even so, I'm having doubts when I see my mother enjoying a conversation with Sara, it seems that my mother is charmed by Sara just like I am.

"Sara-chan, I heard that you didn't live around here in junior high school, so why did you choose to go to school in this area?"

"Ah, I also am curious."

Due to the game setting, I thought that it was destined for Sara to go to Tsubakigaoka, however now that my mother mentioned it, I have never thought about why.

It's strange that she would choose to be alone and not follow her parents after they were assigned overseas. Given how she was treated in junior high school, you'd think she would want to follow them.

"I'm close to my grandmother's house. However I can't stay with her because she is living with my uncle's family and there is no room for me, but I was told I could rely on them for anything."

"Is that so, it's nice to have relatives nearby. But aren't your parents worried about leaving a cute girl like Sara alone?"

"Yeah. They were quite opposed to it, but for some reason I had a strong feeling to stay. . . so I tried my best to persuade them!"

Sara proudly smiled, but her feelings of staying may be because of a coercive force from a Yuri game.

If Sara goes abroad, one of the sub-heroine will disappear from the game. The universe would not like that.

"I was given the condition that I could remain here if I was accepted into Tsubakigaoka. My grades made me more likely not to be accepted, but miraculously I was."

"You worked hard for it."

"Yeah. My father thought it was impossible so it was a surprise for him, but he was still happy for me, though he'd still miss me alot."

Was it the compulsory force from the Yuri game, or was it the result of Sara's hard work? It's impossible to know.

However, we should be vigilant because that possibility cannot be ruled out.

If I'm not careful it's possible that Sara would be attracted to Aoi if attacked at the flank.

"There are times when I feel lonely living alone, but I'm truly glad I stayed. I made friends at high school, and I met Shiori-san."

Sara looked at me and smiled as she said that. Huh?

It's not that bad if it's just us two, but saying that in front of my parents. . . I'm having a hard time reacting. I was too worried about my parents' eyes so I gave an ambiguous smile and a "Yeah".

However it was my mother's sharp eyes that quickly jumped to attention.

"Ara, this is rare. Are you perhaps embarrassed?"

"I'm not embarrassed."

"Eh, Shori-san, are you shy again? So cute!"
