“Huh?”

“I’m really sorry that it came to you all of a sudden. You know, I became interested in Sorata-kun when I met you for the first time. And, as time went one, I got to know you better and better, before I knew it. I fell in love with you.”

“Is this for real?”

It is unthinkable that Mai-san would fall in love with me. I doubt if it is true. Maybe that’s what they were talking about in their love talk earlier.

“I’m really determined.”

“I don’t understand. Why do you like me, Mai-san? Can you explain?”

“It’s OK. I’ll explain.”

“Yes.”

“Sorata-kun…”

*Bang!

Mai was about to start speaking when suddenly a very loud noise sounded from outside the room.

“What are you doing? Mai!”

“What? Why are you here Yuuna? Weren’t you taking a bath?”

It was my sister who suddenly barged in. …How did she open the door? wasn’t it supposed to be locked?

“I’m already out. What are you doing here? Get out of here!”

“Nee-chan, Mai-san didn’t do anything wrong.”

“I don’t care. Come on, get out of this room!”

“I’m sorry, Sorata-kun. I’ll call you up later.”

“Uh, yes.”

Saying so, Mai-san and nee-chan left my room.

I wondered what was wrong. She didn’t seem like her usual self.

[TL: POV Yuuna, Sorata’s Ane-chan]

“Mai, what were you doing in my brother’s room a while ago?”

“It has nothing to do with you, Yuuna.”

“It is my younger brother we are talking about, of course it’s related.”

“Yuuna will not gain anything even if I tell her.”

“Just tell me, okay.”

“Ok. I’ll tell you. I just confessed to Sorata-kun …?”

“HaA?”

“Eh, wait a minute, Yuuna, how many cutters are you bringing out?”

“Ah, sorry. Don’t mind it.”

“Don’t make jokes like that. It’s not something of the level of a joke.”

“Hey, Can I borrow your phone, Mai?”

“What? Why? Yuuna, you have your own phone, don’t you?”

“I have it, but I need it anyway.”

“Well. it’s okay anyway.”

I take the phone from Mai and open the Messaging app. Then erased Sorata’s contact information and then returned the phone to Mai as if nothing had happened.

“Speaking of which, what’s up with Hoshino?”

“Hoshino is still in the bath.”

“Hmm”

The air between them became awkward.

“Hey, Mai?”

“Hmm?”

“From now on, Mai is banned from this house.”

“Eh? Why?”

“Just felt like that.”

“To ban me from entering your house just because you felt like it is a terrible reason you know.”

“And don’t come near the Sorata-kun again.

“Wha!? Why?”

“…Because if you do, …I’ll be forced to …kill you.”

“If I do, what?”

“Nope, never mind.”

“Uh-huh. I get it. You’re kidding about the ban, right?”

“…”

While we were having this conversation, I heard footsteps coming upstairs.

Hoshino must have arrived. I have something to say.

*Clank

Hoshino came in.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Yuuna, Mai.”

“Hoshino, can you sit down? There is something we need to discuss?”

I said it immediately after Hoshino came in.

“Eh? um, that’s alright.”

Hoshino immediately agrees.

“Thank you.”

“Then, what discussion?”

Hoshino asked me. 

I take a few moments before I begin to talk.

The content of the conversation was about permanently ending our relationship.
