秋奇妙夢玄 (Autumn Bizarre Dream Mystery) ~ Earthen Hare and Moon Rabbit
Chapter 5

"My matters should not concern you. I still bring in the results, no? So what I do in my free time should be none of your business."

"Yukino, do not make us repeat ourselves over and over again. We do not approve that you're spending your free time with a lower man like Denjirou Taira."

"Who am I supposed to spend my time with? All the other students are from middle to lower class bracket. Do you imply that I mustn't speak to anyone else?"

"Yukino, you still have the future to consider. That man will only lead you astray."

"So far his behaviour was nothing but courteous even amongst our peers. I assure that he is not of harmful influence to me and others."

"He may act cordial, but once you become too close to him - he will loosen up and before you know it, you're now in his thrall."

"You know what? We can end the conversation here."

...

I'm not even planning on crushing on him. He's just my friend.

He's not going to do anything to me.

They're getting worried over nothing.

After I lock the door to my room, I look over the white sheet of paper. Perhaps to calm my nerves, I began folding it.

And eventually, I ended up with a paper crane.
