for Advance Chapter

 Yuu grinned when he saw the LINE message sent by Yui.

"Well, Yui-chan seems to be on my side, so what should I do?"

 Naturally, he wanted to break up with Takuya right away. He wanted Yui all to himself.

 Yui's feelings for Takuya have already faded, but Yu still harbors resentment for Takuya stealing his place as Yui's first boyfriend and for having sex with her.

 The reason he explained it to Yui was also the truth. However, he also wanted to keep Yui as his girlfriend so that he could get back at Takuya.

 I thought that would be a better way to lead Takuya in and humiliate him.

"Takuya... You've been more than happy being with Yui-chan up until now, haven't you? Then you have to give back that happiness you took from me... to its rightful owner."

 the next day.

 When Takuya arrived at the soccer club grounds to join their morning practice, most of the club members were gathered around him.

"S-senpai! Is it true that you're dating that Hazuki-senpai?"

 It was a first-year student who first brought this up.

 However, that was only because the first-year student had been forced to ask that question by the other first-year students, and Takuya and his classmate, the second-year students, seemed to be curious about it even though they didn't say anything, and they were standing nearby at an inappropriate time for practice.

 That just goes to show how much attention Yui has been getting at this school. So much so that the conversation that happened yesterday at lunch has already spread across the grades.

"Well, it's true."

 Takuya agreed that there was no point in trying to brush it off after all that commotion yesterday.

"Seriously?!"

 The members gathered around him erupted in excitement.

 Ever since the movie was announced, Yui has become a hot topic at school.

 That was a natural reaction, considering that Yui and Takuya, who was standing in front of him, were dating.

"Who confessed first? Senior... or maybe Hazuki-senpai?!"

"It's from me."

"Oh yeah... so, did you do it?"

"what?"

"That's obvious, isn't it? It's naughty, naughty."

 "Don't ask me such a direct question," Takuya thought, but he naturally understood that high school boys were full of sexual desire, and if the girlfriend of someone he knew was the famous Shimotsuki Yui, it was still intriguing, so he decided not to blame her.

"...Can you really say something like that?"

 I simply felt embarrassed, and also because Yui is an actress, there was no way I could tell her.

"Tch."

 Yui's angelic beauty is so strong that it can be considered poison to adolescent boys, and on top of that, her good figure is obvious even through her well-made uniform. If such a person was nearby, it would be impossible not to have evil thoughts.

"Well, I can understand why Kisaragi-senpai would be able to date Hazuki-senpai. If it was any other guy, I'd think I had a chance too..."

"What are you talking about, Takuya-senpai?"

 While I was talking with the team members, the manager came in.

"You know, the rumor."

 A first year student who attended the same junior high school as the manager explains on Takuya's behalf.

"Ah... is that what you're talking about...?"

 He lowered his eyes for a moment and then turned to face Takuya.

"Is it true... that rumor that you're dating Hazuki-senpai..."

 His gaze said that he wanted him to tell him it was a lie, but there was no way Takuya would notice and he didn't show any concern as he simply stated the facts.

"Yes, it's true."

"...Is that so...?"

 Unlike Takuya himself, who doesn't understand a girl's heart, the other club members, knowing that the manager has feelings for Takuya, look uneasy and avert their eyes.

 The silence was broken by one of the few soccer club members who was practicing seriously.

"Takuya. Here comes the girlfriend you've been talking about."

 The club member, also a second-year, said as he pointed in a certain direction to Takuya.

"Yui..."

 The person there was Yui.

 Though he was concerned about the manager of the club members who had crowded around him, Takuya was sent off by encouraging voices and headed towards where Yui was.

"...Yesterday was bad."

 Before even greeting him, Takuya began apologizing, bowing his head to show his sincerity.

"I'm sorry too. For yelling at you in front of everyone. Takkun had been so considerate as to keep it a secret, but now I'm the one who told everyone..."

"No, it's fine about me. I can brag to everyone that I have a cute girlfriend. Isn't it harder for Yui than for me?"

 Just because everyone knows about it doesn't mean it's OK for her to spread the word about it. Yui didn't want her to spread the word too loudly.

 Yui was annoyed by Takuya's words, but when she realized that she was only playing the role of "boyfriend in name only" because Yu asked her to, her irritation quickly disappeared. Takuya wasn't her real boyfriend, so she didn't need to worry about it.

"Yeah... I'm a little worried. But everyone at school and the people who live nearby are keeping the fact that I'm attending here a secret, so I think it'll probably be okay."

 What Yui is most worried about is being discovered by weekly magazine reporters or overly-enthusiastic fans because she has a boyfriend.

 There are reporters who write down lies and rumors as if they were facts, and there is a concern that fans who feel betrayed will post all sorts of things online that are not true. That is scary.

 For that reason, it would be best if as few people as possible knew that Yui had a boyfriend, but Yui decided to resign herself to what had happened so long as it was just within the school, it would be okay.

"Hey, Takuya!"

"Oh, Coach."

 The coach, who hadn't been there until a moment ago, suddenly arrived and called out to Takuya. If it had been just fellow students, it would have been one thing, but with the coach there, he couldn't be arrogant.

"Sorry, Yui. See you later."

"Yeah. Good luck with your club activities."

 Without even watching Takuya leave, Yui quickly returned to the classroom.
