Villian Days

Chapter 56

Feelings 3

The other day, Yuu was kidnapped after my kendo match.

That time, pleased that I took the championship, I was immersed in the satisfaction of accompanying Yuu until the finals, in the middle of the victory celebration, almost like a kidnapping, I was shoved into a car together with Hiroto by Genbu.

Even after asking Genbu the reason, I didn't get the answer, so I gave up and shut my eyes. Sitting across from me, Hiroto looked like he still had something to say, but I ignored it.

I realized this afterwards, but I think at that time Genbu might have been pursuing Yuu with all his might.

Since Genbu knew that car's destination, he picked up Byakko along the way, Genbu had decided on the place Yuu had been kidnapped.

At any rate, I didn't think Genbu was a guy who'd go that far. Regarding this, I had no choice but to recognize him.

His outward appearance is of the honor student head of the public morals committee. An impossible to predict but sleepy guy. A guy who works on the public morals committee, who corners his opponents, mercilessly chasing them while laughingly begging forgiveness, mad dog type of guy, that's how I perceived him.

And that was it. He predicted Yuu being kidnapped, a perfect simulation. He also says that he gave Byakko a plan to protect Yuu during my match. It's regrettable that the security net was being breached by that irregular, aka Hiroto, damn it.

Maybe, he loves Yuu, I guess.

I sense it from every word.

A few days after Yuu was rescued, I was contacted by Genbu.

Since Yuu had calmed down a bit, did I want to visit him? was what he said.

We settled on a day and time, and I headed to Genbu's house.

It seemed Yuu was fairly relaxed living at Genbu's place. Seeing Yuu following Genbu about, that guy who devised carefully made up plans completely couldn't be seen. Gradually a big cat seemingly showed up. It's said that it has around nine separate tails.

Just as I was leaving, I chatted a bit with Genbu.

It seems that Yuu is in love with someone, and in addition Yuu seems to have therefore become frightened of jealousy and the desire to monopolize controlling him, I was told.

I remembered the time when Yuu was in secondary school.

That time when a situation came about from jealousy and the desire to monopolize. I and Hiroto had left Yuu's range. Also, a misunderstanding happened, and we were passing each other by. If Yuu hadn't lost his memory in the accident on the stairs, I wonder what kind of relationship we'd have right now?

Returning to my place, Hiroto was lying in wait at the gate.

Coming close to me, his nose twitching, he muttered.

"I smell Yuu's scent...Ken, you went to see Yuu...?"

"........."

That guy, is this what's called a wild intuition?

I was persistently cross-examined, and confessed that I'd gone to see Yuu today.

After disagreeably nagging me regarding seeing Yuu alone, Hiroto went home. After being banned from seeing Yuu for a week, Genbu said, it seems that Hiroto will break the agreement early tomorrow.

Apologies, Genbu.

The next day, sure enough Hiroto went to see Yuu, coming back in a strangely good mood. While preparing tea as requested by Hiroto who had gone into my room to demand it, I urged him to talk.
