Oh, Edie found out about the change right away.
Ai’s slacking speed adjusted me to calm down.
You’ve been a bit flapping lately.
She said with a smile.
Well, enough of that, come in.
Also.
Yukino? You’re here?
I looked out and shouted.
I am! Shut up!
She shouts back.
Hey, come up here Yukino Huh? I want to talk with just us fellow first-years
Yukino, Megu, Edie, Ai, and me.
We’re all in our first year.
We’ll be in the same class starting tomorrow.
Geez, you’re so hopeless
Yukino gets up the stairs.
What? Everyone’s working down here, and you’re in that room, naked?
She looked at me and said.
I mean, are you helping out? My job is to stay still. I’m pregnant!
Well, sure, okay.
Come in everyone
They enter Ai’s room.
Ai’s sitting down on the bed, naked.
Err, good mor.no, good evening
Seeing that the sun’s about to set, Ai greets everyone as such.
We were together since daytime
Edie said in amazement.
Ah, that’s true, but, somehow, it’s been hours since then
Ai said.
There are a lot of turning points in life.
I see. A lot happened.
Edie, who’s smart, guessed it immediately.
Edie, if you find something out, then don’t keep it for yourself! I don’t know what’s going on so explain it to me
Megu gets angry again.
Hmm, well, it’s a problem of sense, so I can’t explain it that well.
Edie makes a troubled face.
I get it. There’s nobody here who was fussy, so he’s got a good change of pace
Yukino said.
You see, all of you are always so hasty, do this, do that, talk this, talk that, you don’t ease up unless you decide on things.
She’s right.
Everyone’s too smart that they’re fast to decide and to take action.
They decide things in an instant and act it out fast.
This idiot only has only his hardworking personality as his redeeming value, he’s desperately trying to catch up. But I guess you’re also tired. What an idiot
Yukino laughed.
You don’t need to listen to everything Yuzuki or Katsuko says, just half of it and just reply yes, whatever on the other half. If you’re trying to understand every single thing they try to tell you, it’s evident that you’ll get exhausted
Yukino’s living in the mansion, but she’s keeping distance with everyone.
She’s not trying to get close.
I guess if you don’t do that, you’ll get hotempered, like Megumi over here yukino, I’m not hotempered!
Megu protests.
No, compared to back then, you surely got hotempered
Edie said.
I see. You’re right. Our conversation’s too fast for Megumi. She can’t catch up, that’s why she gets hotempered i.
Megu’s unable to retort.
It’s not just Megumi, I’m the same
I smiled at Megu.
I’m forcing myself to catch up. I’m at the same speed as Megu, but I didn’t understand her. Sorry Yoshi-kun, what do you mean? It means the speed on thinking over things
I explained.
Those who are fast to think, they hear one thing from someone and imagine four, five things from there. Then, they continue to chat, and how do I say it, for example. It’s like shogi
Edie explains it for me.
Professionals in Shogi can imagine multiple outcomes in a single move. Therefore, they know which moves are the most effective. Professionals can have ten, up to twenty moves ahead, but. For amateurs like me, I can only think of I hope my opponent makes this move after I make one. I can’t see what’s ahead of that
I explain it to Megu.
Oh, I get that. If that’s the case, Minaho-oneesan, Katsuko-oneesan, Misuzu-san, Ruriko-san, and even Edie are much smarter than me
She doesn’t mention Tsukiko’s name, because Megu belongs in that group currently, and they do have the Miko power.
They can read other people’s minds and can force them to obey, there’s no winning against them in the first place.
That doesn’t mean that starting up a fight right away is the right thing to do, don’t you think?
Yukino tells Megu.
But, it’s frustrating that I can’t win against them in reason
Megu looked down.
Winning or losing, that’s where you’re wrong
Yukino pats Megu’s shoulder.
They’re not people you need to fight I know that, but.
Looking at Megu talking to Yukino. I noticed it.
I see. It was thanks to you, Yukino Huh, what do you mean?
Yukino looked at me.
Up until now, yeah, since May, I didn’t break down thanks to Yukino
I said. Yukino.
Huh? What are you talking about? Are you stupid? No wait, I do know that Yeah, I am. I’m an idiot. That’s why I’m completely exhausted, just trying to catch up with everyone’s thoughts. But, back then, Yukino, I talked to you, had sex with you.
Back in May, when I felt like I’m suffocating, Yukino’s always there.
When I’m with you, I feel at ease. Now I get the reason. Yukino, you’re doing things at your own pace, you never try to catch up with people What? Picking a fight? When I’m with Yukino, I don’t need to think fast. It makes me feel at ease
Yukino’s thoughts never go fast. And, she never tries to drag others.
Are you praising me, or mocking me? I’m praising you
I embraced Yukino and said.
If you’re praising me then, sure.
Yukino’s always taking things at her pace.
You seem to be misunderstanding things, I don’t get it, but.I mean, you don’t have to tell me things. Oh well. That’s okay
The way Yukino things moderately is her charm.
Then, Ai is much slower than us.
I look at Ai on the bed.
Huh? You mean she’s worse than an idiot?
Yukino said, but.
No, that’s not it. Ai thinks a lot, and things happen before she could notice it. She’s a girl who doesn’t move on until she digests all of it, so she’s slow You mean an idiot, right? No, Yukino.
Edie interjects.
If Ai were to play Shogi, she’ll think Why would you move the piece like that? or I wonder what kind of wood is used for this piece? or why do players take turns moving pieces? And such. Therefore, she can’t think ahead of shogi I mean, that’s an idiot, right?
Err.
I am an idiot
Ai replied.
See? The person herself said it. Just say idiot’
Yukino agreed.
I get that Darling. When you’re with Ai, you start to think of things that you don’t usually care about like it’s normal I mean, Ai’s easygoing flow of thoughts has a meaning to me
I look at Ai.
Ai takes things slowly. But she’s not an idiot. She observes, thinks. Although, it’s on her pace Really?
Yukino stares at Ai, but.
Maybe, she’ll grow better than anyone of us here
Edie said.
Makoto’s been holding back Ai until now. I think that Darling can raise Ai better.
She smiles.
Naturally, it’ll take a lot of time No, I don’t mind if it takes time
I said.
We’re still young, there’s no need to rush I agree with that. Yuzuki and everyone else hurries too much. Why is that?
Regardless of Ai, Yukino will always complain to Minaho-neesan.
I see. I get it. Ai-chan is also someone we have to be considerate about
Megu said.
Who told you that?
I asked Megu.
That’s not it. We’re in the same year, and will be classmates next year. So what?
Yukino said. I.
Let’s make the Yukkuri club with the five of us 1 Yukkuri club? That’s right, if it’s just the five of us, let’s take it easy. Anything will do You mean slow life, slow sex?
Edie asks.
Yes, that
I smiled.
Edie, I think that you should try slowing down when it’s just us Oh, you’re right. You just suddenly jump out. It’s bad for the heart. You might die suddenly if you keep doing that
