Bokuben 3/5 Route FanFic- Sleeping Princess of the Literature Forest [X]

Chapter 1 : The Night of Guidance

The route starts at the confession of Uruka to Nariyuki in chapter 141 of the main timeline, which would later result into Nariyuki thinking his feelings over.

Nariyuki decided to recall his past but just couldn't feel anything but nothingness. He has had a murky feeling over such matter that he didn't know what to do. Just when he was about to sleep, he remembered that he had somebody to rely on especially when it came to understanding women's feelings. That's right; he remembered that he could ask Fumino for guidance.

He told her "Hello Furuhashi-san, sorry to bother you this late at night, but I want to have your guidance for my friend." Seconds later he received a reply from Fumino, who is reviewing late that night, saying "It's okay Nariyuki-kun, so what trouble does your friend has with this time?"

"Well the truth is, my friend actually received a confession from the girl he's been with since middle school and currently does not know what to do", replied Yuiga with a feeling of unease.

As Fumino thoroughly read Yuiga's reply, she said to herself "So Uruka-chan finally did it huh? As a friend I am more than happy that she was able to do that but... what's this feeling that's taking over my heart. It feels like it is... in so much pain".

Having said that to herself, she immediately replied to Yuiga, saying, "Nariyuki-kun please relay this to your friend immediately no matter what okay?"

"First go tell your friend to look deeply inside his heart, so that he'll know if he can return the feelings of the girl. Second he must think about the importance of the girl in his life. Third and last, he must consider his own happiness over anything else before deciding to do anything, so that he won't have any regrets over the actions that he decided upon".

Yuiga was amazed at how Fumino was able to think of these despite not being the one who is in the situation. It made him wonder "Oh yeah come to think of it, aside from the situation of her family and Fumino herself, I don't particularly know anything about the boy she's into. I mean she's pretty and all so I wouldn't be surprised if she already had a boyfriend. But the fact that she doesn't have one yet would mean..."

"NO NO NO! What are you even thinking Yuiga? If you're that curious on the boy she's into, then why not just ask her yourself? He said to himself.

Yuiga then texted back to Fumino, "Thank you for the great advice as usual Furuhashi-san. You know so much about these things so I was wondering if you have had any experience on these before. I mean it feels like your advices came from someone who has had romantic experiences, but maybe I am just overthinking things. But I'm just curious, are you perhaps...?? "

"Oh crap what did I just send to her? That was like I was prying deep into her private life. It feels wrong to have asked her that question, what do I do!!!!???, he screamed as he realized that Fumino might scold him for that.

After reading Yuiga's reply, Fumino immediately knew what he was talking about. She knew it was unexpected of him to say that, but to relieve him of his curiosity she replied "Nariyuki-kun I'm glad that your friend finds all of my advice beneficial and that you always ask me for guidance whenever there's something he can't understand about a woman. As for your question Nariyuki-kun, don't be surprised but I do have one. That's all I can tell you for now..."

"I see, so Furuhashi-san does have someone she's interested in. Well whoever that guy might be, must be a lucky man", he uttered to himself.

He finally ended the conversation by replying "Oh I see, that is really surprising, I wonder who that is. By the way thank you for today Furuhashi-san". He then went to sleep afterwards.

Meanwhile in the Furuhashi Household, Furuhashi Reiji just came home from work to see how his daughter is doing. He noticed that the lights of Fumino's room were still turned on, so he decided to enter it. Just as he opened the door, he found Fumino sleeping on her desk with her phone turned on. He was curious as to what she was doing with her phone that she forgot to sleep in her bed. He then saw that she was texting with Yuiga as he looked at their conversation.

"So my daughter has finally come to that age huh?", he told himself with a smirk on his face realizing that this is the first time Fumino has stayed up late for something else other than her studies. He then noticed that Fumino wrote something in the notebook beside her with the words. "Fumino you shouldn't betray Uruka-chan and Rizu-chan's feelings no matter what. They're my friends; I shouldn't hurt them by loving the boy they have feelings with. Endure the pain Fumino, you can do this."

Having seen such, Reiji was shocked at the very words that Fumino keeps to herself, so he decided to involve himself and help her in her situation to make up for what he did in the past...
