Convenient Semi-Friend ch11

p1
>I want to know what you've been
>hiding from me, Ruka-san.

p3
>Hold on a sec!
>Heh?

>Usually... y-you always turn down this kind of thing right away.
>Why are you so damn assertive this time around?
>I-I'm melting!
>I can't do it!
>>The Usual
>Well...

>I-I just thought... that I shouldn't just
>run away... every time...

>Huh~ That's strange~

>Wh-What do to about this...
>It'd be... pretty lame if I went and said "on second thought, let's not" at this point...
>...That's right.

>Putting aside that this girl brought it up herself,
>I had no intention of teaching her from the start.

>She was giving off a gloomy vibe,
>so I was just trying to mess with her a little...

>But at this rate...
>I'll have no choice but to teach her, won't I...?
>>Gaze of expectation

p4
>But still... should I really be the one who tell her about sefure and doing it?
>Ruka-san?
>Teaching that to someone straight from Planet Purity is embarrassing.

>Um... Ruka-san?
>Nyah!? Aah... Sorry. What is it?

>Well... um... you've been quiet this whole time...
>I'm sorry... I guess me saying that I want to know...
>is causing you trouble...

>H-Huh!? There's no way someone like you
>would trouble me, y'know!?

>B-But
>Um... it's a secret you wouldn't want to tell anyone, so...

>You've got it wrong. It's not that I don't want to tell you.
>It's just something I haven't gone out of my way to tell you.

>Ruka is someone with a lot of pride,
>so having a person she thinks is below her show her consideration
>(Rude)

>has messed with her head.
>Hahahahahaha

p5
>Fine.
>If you really insist, I'll tell you...

>I got no other choice!!
>Ruka-san, why are you acting so weirdly hyper?

>Oh, shut it. I'm being perfectly normal.
>No... You're clearly acting strange...

>YOU TRYIN' TO PICK A FIGHT OR SOMETHIN'!?
>Eep...
>Ruka is someone with a lot of pride, yada yada.

>You're not gonna stay composed for long.
>Eeh...?
>Erm, I've never been composed from the very start...

>B-But you have been acting kind of weird, Ruka-san,
>so I did get a little bit worried...

>...Are you perhaps doing this to distract me from my worries...?
>You really are... kind.

>J-Just kidding... Sorry. I might be getting full of myself right now...

p7
>Hmph.
>A sefure isn't something gentle like friendship
>Ah...
>like what you've been imagining.

p8
>...Ru... feh...
>Ruka... san... Just now...
>...Haha

>HAHAHAHAHAHA
>What do you think about that!?

>If I go this far,
>she'll surely give up.

>S-S-S-S-Something just touched my cheek!
>Out of the question.

>Eh?? Just now, Ruka-san's l-lips...
>Why? ...Eh? Seriously, why??

>What did she mean when she said a sefure isn't something gentle?
>....Does she mean it's a relationship where you kiss each other's cheeks??

>What Suuna thought sefure (semi-friend) means.
>Do you best~
>There there there
>Probably what sefure (semi-friend) actually means.
>You did your best out there.
>There there there~
>A pleasant delusion of a situation where she's praised

>That's certainly more severe.

p9
>Um... Th-Thank you
>for teaching me...
>Heh? No, I wasn't trying to teach...
>...And also,

>I'm so sorry!
>Huh!?

>I've... been spoiled by your kindness up until now...
>Certainly, if you had suddenly done something like that... on the day we met...

>I would've evaporated and died.
>It's scary how that doesn't sound like a metaphor.

>B-But now I understand fully what a sefure is!
>I doubt that.
>F-F-From now on, I-I'll do my best so that you won't have to endure everything, Ruka-san!

>...Well, if you're okay with that, I guess it's fine.
>It ended(?) without me teaching you anything, after all.

>Yes.

>...Hey. There's the bell. We should head back to class...

p11
>Wha!?
>F-For now,
>here's one...
>to start off... with.

>Is this chick...
>serious...?
>I-I'll do my best to get used to it!

>W-Well then, I'm heading back to class!
>...Yeah.
>Have I perhaps...

>pushed her misunderstanding in a pretty bad direction...?

>>Ruka just dug a hole in her own grave.
