Vita and Carlyle.

And Emily Swan too.

A midterm study group of three people.

Vita can’t seem to concentrate on her studies.

I’m a bit nervous because Emily and Carlisle are so close together.

Glance at it-

I found myself continuing to look at it without realizing it.

“Ah, I see.”

“Do you understand, now?”

“Hmm, a little?”

Carlyle tells her in such an affectionate and sincere manner that Vita naturally remembers that the two are childhood friends.

My lips curl up. I find myself lost in thought, drawing circles with a pen in my workbook for no reason.

‘…What is this?’

An uncomfortable feeling.

No, it’s not.

Rather than feeling uncomfortable, it was a rather strange feeling that was hard to describe.

‘… It’s definitely because of Emily.’

Vita thinks so.

It’s uncomfortable and annoying that Emily, who I have a crush on, keeps sticking to Carlisle.

So Vita ended up speaking without thinking. Before that, she was a little nervous, so she took a sip of coffee through the straw.

“Yes, Emily-! I can tell you better than that guy.”

This is absolutely real.

The Carlyle guy is smart, but he doesn’t seem to have any talent for teaching. Vita was almost certain of this after hearing the explanation just now.

“You don’t quite understand? Be honest, just once.”

Emily glanced to the side at Vita’s words and nodded.

“I guess I don’t understand.”

“No, that’s not it. I’ll explain, so come over here for a second?”

“Hmm… Is that so?”

Only when Emily Swan is next to her does Vita feel her stuffy feelings lift.

Certainly, there was a sense of relief and comfort when Carlyle was alone.

It’s been a while since we’ve had the chance to talk.

A chance to become close with my crush, Emily.

‘But that guy Carlyle.’

Because it’s just a nuisance. That’s why Vita thought to herself that she had that uncomfortable feeling in her heart earlier.

Vita glanced at Carlyle for a moment without Emily knowing. It was a look full of reproach, so Carlyle Schultz just smirked. Then he looked at the two women with interest.

“I’ll tell you. Emily.”

“Yeah, right. Bianca is good at math, I guess… ?”

“I’m pretty confident!”

Are you saying that when it comes to mathematics, he is almost the same as Carlyle?

“Ask me anything, Emily.”

“Oh, really…?!”

“First of all, the solution method that Carlyle gave me earlier is difficult, so I will give you another solution.”

Although it takes longer than Carlyle’s solution, it explains a method that can be solved even if you only know the basic concepts.

“Oh, wow… It’s easier to understand than I thought.”

Vita shrugged her shoulders as Emily exclaimed in admiration-

We chat like that sometimes and ask each other about our problems.

As I was studying hard, time flew by.

Suddenly Emily woke up.

“Um, guys. I’ll go outside for a minute.”

“Ah, where are you going…?”

When Vita asks that, Emily comes up to her and whispers coquettishly.

-…I’m going to the bathroom!

And then it falls again.

“What, while I’m at it? I’ll buy another cup of coffee. It’ll take a little while.”

Vita nodded her head somewhat hastily to Emily, who was smiling brightly. She had made a mistake.

“Ah, I’m back!”

A girl like Emily has a certain elegance to her, even when she goes to the bathroom. When Emily leaves for a moment, only Carlisle and herself are left in the small room.

But Vita didn’t want to mix things up for no reason.

Now next week is the exam, and he has an obvious rival.

‘And with Emily earlier…’

We were on very good terms, so I felt something was bothering me, so I kept quiet for the time being.

Moreover, in a situation like this, where there are only two people left, it is hard to predict what kind of tricks Carlyle will come up with.

‘Recently, you’ve been saying strange things, like ‘something’ or something.’

So Vita decided to hit the player first. Towards Carlyle Schultz.

“No nonsense.”

He fixes his gaze on the book as if he will not tolerate it.

‘No matter what that guy says, I’ll just ignore it!’

It was such a determination of Vita, but it was quickly shattered.

“Huh… ”

Suddenly, Carlyle Schultz smiled and said a word.

“Why are you so pretty today?”

Vita raised her head.

“… Ugh, what?!”

With just one word, I was disarmed.

***

In fact, from Carlyle’s point of view, this is absurd.

[I’m busy today, so no contact or nonsense!]

This morning’s text.

“Is this how it comes out…?”

Of course, Carlyle quirked an eyebrow for a moment, but the corners of his mouth were smiling.

“It’s bouncing again.”

Bianca Shamal has been like this for more than a day or two. Carlyle already has a firm conviction inside him.

Because I can’t fail to seduce Bianca Shamal by the end of this semester. I think I’m already halfway there.

As much as he cherishes Bianca Shamal, he also finds out that the other person feels the same way.

‘Because I made a mistake back then.’

I made a mistake once. I made the other person cry. The girl I liked ended up crying because of it. Thanks to that, I was able to understand the other person’s feelings.

Carlyle thinks that Bianca Shamal simply hasn’t realized it yet and hasn’t accepted it yet.

“What on earth is the reason… ”

I don’t understand it, but it seems like his future work has been decided. I guess he’s trying to make Bianca Shamal realize it.

-Just come to this cafe.

It feels like his childhood friend, Emily Swan, is unexpectedly helpful.

I wondered what the intention was for the three of them to study together, but for some reason, Bianca Shamal didn’t seem to know that she was going there either.

These were not important to Carlyle.

Anyway, the most important thing is that I can see the girl I like today too.

So Carlyle arrived at the cafe after accepting Emily’s offer.

‘… … ‘

And Carlyle was speechless at the sight of Bianca’s made-up appearance.

Why is it that I am becoming more and more feminine? A peach-colored knit top and a white pleated skirt look pretty good.

Really, if.

If only his childhood friend hadn’t been next to him. He was so lovely and cute that he would have pounced on him.

Tingle-

I thought it was cute that you were jealous earlier.

And now this situation.

“Why are you so pretty today?”

“… Ugh, what?!”

There is a woman who is embarrassed by one word he uttered.

“You’re pretty today.”

Carlyle chuckled. In return, the other person’s face grew redder like a tomato.

“… You’re talking nonsense again.”

A look of trying to ignore.

But Carlyle had just gotten one harvest, so he asked playfully.

“Were you jealous, just now?”

Because you could see right through my eyes that Bianca Shamal was purely jealous.

Bianca looks speechless at his question.

Beautiful blonde hair tied into a side-up ponytail.

Her slightly flushed cheeks, bitten lips, and slightly upturned amethyst eyes are cute like a pouting kitten.

“… This is ridiculous, really.”

Well, that’s what it is.

This woman just won’t admit it even once.

So the two of them started arguing again.

-We’re dating, you know.

-When on earth did I?

-Just admit it.

-I’ll tell you right now that I have no intention of doing that. I will never let that happen to you.

-We’ll have to wait and see.

The conversation has a meowing feel, but there is a subtle atmosphere that makes the listener feel excited.

The conversation continues like that-

‘… … ‘

Emily stood leaning against the door and listened silently.

With a confused expression, holding the coffee he bought.

***

“Guys, have you been waiting?”

When Emily came back again.

The two people who had been meowing had stopped talking.

“Oh, you’re here?”

Carlyle turned his gaze to his workbook, and Vita coughed and sipped her coffee.

From Emily’s perspective, it’s just too obvious.

I don’t know if I can express it as being affectionate, but the two of them continued to be affectionate and affectionate.

Emily paused for a moment as the conversation was cut off when she entered. She felt as if she had been the one interrupting.

But one is a friend, and the other is a crush. If we really have to compare the two, the latter is more important, but Bianca Shamal is a friend.

He approached me first and was surprisingly innocent, so we became close very quickly.

I think of you as a friend.

‘Yeah, so…’

First of all, I shouldn’t show myself here. I shouldn’t show myself confused.

So Emily forced a smile onto her lips.

“Did you two have anything interesting to say? Without me.”

Although it was a playful remark, Vita was a little embarrassed because he felt hurt for no reason.

“Huh? No?!”

You told a funny story, but you left Emily out on purpose?

Because it’s ridiculous.

“That guy’s talking nonsense… ”

Emily was taken aback by the serious reaction of the person she was talking to, even though she tried to lighten the mood by speaking playfully.

“Oh, I know! I was joking, Bianca.”

Of course, I do feel a bit of regret.

But since neither of them did anything wrong, I can’t hate them. But Emily has something she absolutely has to confirm.

So after thinking about it for a while, I finally spoke up.

“Bianca, you… ”

The reason I can be so bold even with Carlyle by my side is to confirm that.

“Do you think of me as a friend?”

Vita’s expression wavered at the completely unexpected question.

‘Oh, all of a sudden?’

Do you think of me as a friend?

I don’t think of you as just a friend. You’re more than that.

But I can’t reveal that fact here.

So Vita answered, with all sincerity.

“Friend, of course.”

Because I like you, Emily!

“I think it’s nice that we’ve become close enough to meet like this even on weekends. Really, sincerely.”

I love you, Emily, not just as a friend, but in more ways than one.

Vita expressed such emotions in her voice.

Could it be that he felt some sincerity? For some reason, Emily’s stiff expression slightly relaxed.

“Really, that’s what you mean… ?”

“Yeah, really.”

Emily made a decision.

The Bianca she knows is a pretty innocent person. It wasn’t a long time, but it was something she could know from what she had seen and felt so far.

Even compared to ‘Bianca Shamal’, who I have judged so far.

Tone of speech, facial expression.

Emily was able to gather her thoughts for a moment because she could see the complete sincerity in all of these elements.

“As expected, that’s right.”

A lot of thoughts crossed my mind, but for now I’ll just laugh as if nothing happened.

“I just asked. I thought so too.”

“Oh, really… ?”

Because Emily smiles kindly.

Pure Vita was relieved that they had a connection with each other.

Of course, Carlyle Schultz thought there must be a reason for Emily’s behavior.

But to be honest.

He even felt that it was quite surprising that the two had become so close.

I had no intention of interfering with Emily and Bianca’s business. They would resolve their own issues, and it seemed as if they had resolved them well.

“, Emily… ?”

In the meantime, the two are hugging each other

Unlike Vita, who was flustered, Emily whispered meaningfully in Vita’s ear.

-Sorry, Bianca. I doubted you for a moment.

In a very small voice, too small for Carlyle to hear.

Emily briefly suspected that Bianca Shamal had deceived her.

[Do you, by any chance… like Carlyle?]

It was a way of confessing in return that he liked Carlyle.

Bianca clearly denied the answer, saying she wasn’t in a relationship and even said she liked someone else.

Even after saying that, it was Bianca Shamal who first suggested that the three of them, including Carlyle Schultz, have lunch together.

So Emily had to check.

‘… I look so ugly.’

While thinking like that.

Up until now, I’ve just been watching, like a coward, without any rights to the situation between these two.

So Emily feels a little sorry and confesses honestly.

-Yeah, me too…

It was only at this moment that I finally made up my mind.

It’s not a two-way street. At least for now, there’s still a chance.

I know it’s too late, and I know it’s embarrassing, but this time I don’t want to run away either.

-I won’t give in easily.

I feel relieved and renewed my resolve.

After finishing whispering, Emily was able to smile as usual.

***

This is what happened after the three of them finished their study.

I think we spent about three hours together.

“See you at school, then!”

Vita waved her hand as Emily smiled brightly and said goodbye. At the same time, she also parted ways with Carlisle right away. He was busy with his part-time job.

-I’ll contact you later.

-No, don’t do that.

Vita said so though.

I already know that the frog-like guy won’t eat it.

‘But what on earth was it…?’

As she walked along the road, Vita continued to ponder over her thoughts.

No matter how much I think about it, I just can’t figure out what the intention is.

Emily’s whispers continued to feel muddled.

“Excuse me, by any chance… ”

I almost got her number three times while walking, but Vita had an excuse prepared in advance.

“I have a boyfriend… !”

and.

Ta-da!

A photo that Carlyle texted me one day.

This is a picture we took together when we went to Wisney Park.

I tried to erase it because it seemed like a real couple, but for some reason I felt it was a waste to erase it.

“Oh, I see… !”

Besides, this always scares the men and makes them back off.

At least in times like this, he was helpful.

Well, that’s not true, but wouldn’t it be nice to have some convenience?

So Vita comes home and starts studying hard. She wears a headband that she wrote herself in her own handwriting.

[Down with Carlyle!]

‘This time, I will definitely win!’

The world of competition is originally quite cold. Vita continued to think of ways to interfere with Carlyle. Unlike in the past, his opponent was paying enough attention to him, and they had each other’s contact information.

‘If any man is under…’

Something comes to mind.

‘There isn’t a single man who hates dirty things…’

Yes, this is it! This should be effective enough to disrupt that guy!

After finishing her thoughts, Vita searches on her phone and takes a selfie, somewhat awkwardly. The first photo, as expected, feels a bit weak. She deliberately wore some feminine clothes. She even tried to smile.

When Vita actually saw the photo, she shook her head.

‘No, this… needs to be pushed harder.’

And the expression on his face is, how should I put it. I don’t like it at all. Doesn’t this make it seem like you like the other person?

I pout my lips in displeasure for no reason, then search again and try various poses.

‘Hey, like this…?’

Or like this?

‘Is this really true…?’

I keep thinking, do I really need to go this far? But I guess I can use these kinds of means to win the match.

Who is Vita Shamal? In the first place, she was transformed into a woman by taking a strange drug in order to win the match. So, compared to that, it’s a very cute method.

The gaze is looking diagonally upwards. Lower your pants a little more, and use one finger to pick up the front of your shirt and show your cleavage. To this extent, it is enough to stimulate the imagination, but not too racy.

“Ugh… ”

When Vita saw the picture that was taken, her face turned red and she hesitated for a moment.

Era, I don’t know.

First, I sent the pictures I had taken to Carlyle.

Now I have to chew on the contact.

If it works, great; if not, then nothing can be done.

Of course, Carlyle will study after work, because he likes it. Even if he loses focus, it will be rewarding.

So Vita, who was sending the photos and studying hard, had no idea.

Tiring-

A short break during part-time work.

‘… … ‘

When Carlyle saw those pictures, he made a decision, and in another sense, he achieved his goal.
