Start By Becoming A Mangaka
chapter-71

Yuuki felt terrible when he heard the news that Ranko was transferring to another school. He couldn't stay focused on the lesson and walked away to Yukana's class.

"Yuuki, where are you going?" the teacher asked.

"Infirmary," Yuuki said simply.

Miyuki and Chiaki looked at him worriedly.

"Is he gonna be okay?" Miyuki asked Chiaki.

"I don't know," Chiaki shook her head.

They knew that both Yuuki and Ranko were fighting with each other but it was hard for them to talk about it. They knew this matter needed to be solved between the two of them.

Yuuki called Ranko several times, but she didn't answer him.

"Answer me," Yuuki was looking at the screen of his phone. He felt helpless when she didn't answer him.

Yuuki remembered his first meeting with her after he was transferred to this school. He remembered the day he spent together with her.

Ranko was probably one of the closest girls in his life besides Utaha, sometimes, Yuuki regretted to say something like that in front of her. He wanted her to realize her own worth and gave her v.i.r.g.i.nity, not because of Yukana.

[Where are you?]

[Why are you transferring?]

[Why aren't you answering?]

[Please, answer me.]

[I'm sorry for what I say and let me meet you now.]

"Ranko," Yuuki kept calling and messaged her but it was futile. He shook his head and went to Yukana's class. He thought that she probably knew where Ranko was transferring away.

Yuuki entered her class and startled everyone.

"Hey! Aren't you Yuuki from another class? You should go back to your class!!" The teacher reprimanded him when he entered the class.

Yuuki ignored him and went to Yukana.

"Yuuki?" Yukana looked at him curiously.

"Follow me," Yuuki pulled her hand to go outside.

"Wait, Yuuki!!" Everyone was looking at them with amazement.

Everyone was shocked and didn't know what to do.

There were 4 boys who were talking to each other when Yuuki brought Yukana away.

"Well, it's as expected you're being rejected by Junichi," a young man with glasses said.

"Hmm, you've got no chance to fight him," another young man said.

"You should enter my lolicon world, Junichi," a fat young man said.

Junichi twitched his lips, "SHUT UP!!"

Yuuki brought Yukana to the rooftop, and he needed to ask where Ranko was transferring.

"Why are you bringing me here?" Yukana asked while crossing her arms.

"Tell me where Ranko is transferring," Yuuki asked her.

"Why do you want to know where she is transferring ?" Yukana looked at him strangely, "Aren't you fighting to each other?"

"Yes, we're fighting to each other," Yuuki said.

"Then, why do you want to know?" Yukana said.

"Because I love her," Yuuki said.

Yukana was startled and opened her mouth wide. She had never expected Yuuki would admit it so easily.

"Can you tell me, where is she now?" Yuuki wanted to chase her.

Yukana shook her head, "It's too late now, she was moving away today."

Yuuki held both of her shoulders, "Just tell me!"

Yukana looked at his eyes for a while and sighed, "Don't hurt her!"

"I won't," Yuuki said with a serious expression.

"She will move to Chiba because of her parents' job," Yukana said.

Yuuki nodded, "Thank you." He ran as fast as possible to chase her.

Yukana looked at him with a very complicated gaze, Yuuki was probably her first love. She remembered a few days ago when she was talking with Ranko. She told her not to talk about her transferring to Yuuki.

Yukana thought it was strange at first but she didn't force her. She never expected the relationship between the two of them to be like this.

"You must make her happy, Yuuki," Yukana knew that all she could do was support the relationship between the two of them. She loved him but for her friend happiness, all she could do watching and supporting them from their side.

"It's strange, why my face is wet?" Yukana didn't notice tears started to fall from her eyes, "Yuuki....."

Ranko was helping her parents move things to her car.

"Sorry, about this Ranko, I never thought I'd have to transfer to Chiba," her dad said.

Ranko shook her head and said, "It's okay, Dad." Even though she felt reluctant to leave Yukana, she thought it was bad for her to transfer to another school.

'Yuuki,' Ranko was still remembering a few days ago when he confronted her saying she was cheap. Ever since that day, it was very hard for her to have a conversation like before. She regretted her actions that day if she didn't do that she wouldn't be fighting with each other like this. She knew that he was angry at her to offer her body easily.

"Let's go, Ranko!" Her dad called her.

"Yes," Ranko entered the car, "Dad, mom, can we stop by somewhere before we go to Chiba?" she asked.

"Hoo? Are you gonna meet your boyfriend?" Her mom teased her.

Ranko smiled wryly, "It's not like that," she didn't have that kind of relationship with Yuuki.

"Sure, this will be your last time to be here after all," his dad didn't mind.

"Thank you, Dad," Ranko said.

Ranko told them to go to Yuuki's apartment, and she wanted to meet him for the last time.

On the way, Ranko looked at her phone, Yuuki kept calling her and messaged her. She didn't have the courage to answer him. She could only read his message with tears.

'Yuuki,' Ranko started to remember her first time meeting him. Their memory of having fun together, she liked to spend her time together with him. She remembered when Yukana misunderstood their relationship, she wanted to laugh when she remembered it.

Ranko remembered their time thinking about the plan to make his date with Yukana fail. She started remembering their time together, her tears started to fall from her eyes. She hurriedly wiped her tears, afraid her parents would notice it.

They arrived at his apartment, Ranko observed it for a bit and thought that Yuuki was still in school.

Ranko looked at her phone for a while and decided to call him for the last time. She took a deep breath and called his number.

"Ranko!"

Ranko smiled when she heard his voice, "Yo, it's been a while." she said.
