I am placing the daughters + brother here for me honestly but also a reminder, I guess.
Nishi Yotsutsuji daughters.
The first daughter is Asahi (朝日)(Morning sun)
The second daughter is Mahiru (真昼)(Mid day)
third daughter named Yuudachi(夕立)(Evening Shower)Protagonist.(Yuu-chan)
The fourth daughter is Yoru.(夜留)(Night)
The older brother Souji.(奏時) Btw she is always using (私) from now on.
I stood in front of my mirror and carefully checked myself.I have to always makes sure that my hairdo and clothes are all in order but this time I’m being really attentive.
Trying to calm my nerves by making sure everything is in order.
Me being this worried is unbecoming of my age.
"This is the first time I have been this nervous since my first job interview."
I was very happy when I got that job offer.
However soon after that my happiness turned into despair. . . .
No good, no good.
I feel like I was about to detach from reality.Go back into that realm of despair.I have to return to reality.
Today is probably the day when I'll take action.
It seems that quarreling has become an everyday event with Tenjouin.
I didn't think that after the field trip proud-chan would then want to fight every single day.
*Sigh*
Even during the weekend I had a headaches cause of this.
However cause of that I was able to plan my moves to deal with this.
Truly I am not somebody who is good with confrontation.I am by nature somebody who wants no conflict and live in a humble position. It’s because of that desire I didn't leave my past job and suffered greatly for it.
Although it was an unreasonable request,it became a company slogan to not complain.It was a pretty convenience policy for the company.
That's probably why I died with a feeling of no meaning in my last life.
I want to get away from my past life.
So this confrontation has a meaning for me.It's me confronting that feeling.
It's no use my hands are shaking.
I made a fist to try and contain it.
Creating pain in an attempt to divert it.
"Okay. . ."
I stuffed some bread into my mouth and left the house.
Autumn leaves were falling.One of them fell onto my face.
The confrontation happened early.
It happened so quickly
Shouko and I just got back from lunch.Eating it in the cafeteria.To then hear the high pitched voice from Tenjouin.
For some reason the usual entourage that sticks to her weren't there.
This is really convenient.Really it truly is.The house boasting which became an usually thing started.
. . . .*Idle*. . .*Idle*
I am too tense right now,I need to calm down.
I am expected her venomous commits to be mixed in.Then at that time. . . .
However what if she doesn't say it. . . .
– – I am so weak heart’d.I am losing myself to a little girl, thinking about that I unintentionally laugh.
"——-What is with your attitude!!?"
My face unintentionally moved to a more happy expression.And Tenjouin's face warped.
Her eyebrows raised up.
"Do you know who I am?- -"
"Please stop already!!!"
I was the voice of Shouko that came raging in from my side.
She took a step forward and spread her arms so she was protecting me.
From what I heard from Asahi, Shouko could not go against Tenjouin. . . .Her legs are trembling but still she did not step down.
"Don't bully Asahi-chan!"
"S- -Shut up. . Shut up! How dear such an impudent Sakedera go against the Tenjouin!"
Tenjouin looked visibly confused and raised her hand preparing to strike.
"Don't do anything rash."
When I noticed what she was doing, I grabbed her hand stopped her.Saying those words.
"Ah. . ."
"Uu. . . .!? Let go!"
What am I doing? . . .
I snapped out of it and held down Tenjouin who naturally started to struggle.And push her into the wall.
I grappled her hands to the side of her,then it was us face to face.
It was completely silent.
I realized that all of my classmates are now silent around us.Gazing at us with stunned expressions.Mainly looking at me.
E—to. . . .What do I do now?
". . . .Umm,Can you please let go?"
Oppose to Tenjouin usual appearance, a small meek voice came out. Her face was bright red.
Well, this is really embarrassing. If I was to look at this position it is really embarrassing.To be pushed against the wall being face to face.
Honestly my face is bright red as well,I am really embarrassed.
However I can't back down now.I need to be firm.
I promised I would be solid today.
"Then do you promise to not harass me or Sakedera ever again?"
I spoke it closely to her ear. Honestly I want so much to back off and flee from this as soon as possible. Tenjouin nodded many times.
Thus with that the conflict between Asahi and Tenjouin came to an end.
Actually I made sure it was for a week.But there were no quarreling with Tenjouin since then.Rather every time she looks at me her face goes red and turns away.
This was exactly how I planned to deal with this but it seems like it wrapped up pretty nicely.
Three days later.
I went from being Asahi back to Yuudachi. And Asahi went back to being Asahi. Once I judged it to be okay.
"Yuu-chan, Thank you for everything."
"It was no problem. Now aren't you supposed to meet Sakedera?"
"Yea!"
It was actually Sakedera who protected "Asahi" at the end,even going against her own fears.Surely she will be a good friend to Asahi.
That's a good thing.
But for some reason I feel really sad thinking I can't stand there with her as myself.
(そこに立っているのが自分じゃないことに悲しみを覚えていた。)(TN:Might be saying,"I feel bad that I couldn't stand up to her myself.")
"I knew there were disadvantages with swapping,but I didn't expect that. . . ."
Also perhaps because I couldn't stand up to her completely by myself I don't feel like I completely separated myself from my past life.
I am getting depressed. . .
Well when it rains it pours.
"Why. . . .Why does my heart quicken when I see Asahi-san. . . .?"
From the usual docile Asahi, to do such a gallant action she never expected it. Every time she remember it her face goes red.For Chosa who was always pampered and spoiled growing up,it was nothing she ever experienced.
There is a fascination budding.(これを俗にギャップ萌えと言う。)(TN:hmm.)
Chosa was now a step forward,going down a forbidden path.
Hello. I am here. This chapter was actually much longer than the other ones but I feel like this one had a lot of character development. And now for those of you who are craving some yuri there is something blossoming.
I am really liking the Yuu-chan development, trying to distance herself from her past and all that luggage.It is something that is usually ignored or is a simple line like “I am somebody new” and that’s it. This is more a realistic IMO has in its hard to distances yourself from your past and the bad times that shaped you.Also every time she swaps she makes a love interest appear,for the wrong person.
