On my way home from school, I, Kamiyama Fumika, arrived at Yatsushiro Station and got on my bicycle. I am not with those two guys, Shimomura Taiyo and Nagatsuki Kouki, today. I am afraid that I will be misunderstood if I go home with those two. For some reason or another, I came home alone today.
But it’s no fun to go straight home, so I stop by the Book-Off as usual. I’ve been looking forward to buying something here recently.
I parked my bicycle and went inside the shop. Then, the girl who came out of there was a face I hadn’t seen in a while. Kanda Suzu. A girl who has been in conversation recently. She has long black hair and round glasses. I called out to her without thinking.
“Suzu!”
“Eh, Fumika? Long time no see!”
We weren’t particularly close, but we’d been together since primary school and knew each other well.
We sat on a nearby bench and exchanged updates on what was going on. In addition, I had a question I wanted to ask.
“Suzu, I go to the same high school as Taiyo-kun and Nagatsuki.”
“Eh, I see ……”
“Yeah. So, you know, I heard it from Nagatsuki”
“Oh, I see. ……”
“Yeah. But I couldn’t believe it”
Suzu is a very serious girl. Even so, I couldn’t believe that she was acting in such a suggestive manner towards Nagatsuki.
“I was being misinterpreted, wasn’t I?”
“misinterpreted?”
“Yes. After school, some of the girls and I were talking about who we liked in the classroom,……, and they all said Taiyo-kun, so I talked it over with them.”
◇◇◇◇
“I think I like Taiyo-kun too.”
“Eh, not Nagatsuki-kun?”
“T-that’s not it. ……”
“Because you seem to get on really well right?”
“But it’s not like that. ……”
“Ah, you’re not trying to get close to Taiyo-kun, are you?”
“T-that might be it. ……”
“Heee, Suzu’s good.”
◇◇◇◇
“That happened to be heard by Nagatsuki-kun. …… The next day, he told me about it and I denied it, but he told me to stay away from him anymore. ……”
Suzu looked down and said in a voice that sounded as if she was about to cry
“What’s that, that’s terrible”
“No, I think it’s my fault now.”
“That Nagatsuki, I knew it was a misunderstanding …….”
“Yeah But you don’t have to tell Nagatsuki-kun about this.”
“Are you sure ……?”
“Yeah. I’ve already put a break on it, so it’s fine. Besides, I’ve already ……”
“Eh, do you have a boyfriend?”
“Yeah.”
“Eh, so fast! Same high school?”
“Yeah. He confessed to me, so we’re going out.”
“I see. Congratulations.”
“Yeah. So, about Nagatsuki-kun……”
“Okay. I won’t tell.”
Besides, if I tell him this and Suzu and Nagatsuki get together, I’ll have no face to show to Yayoi. ……
“Yeah. Thanks. I couldn’t talk to anyone about this until now, so I’m glad I could talk to Fumika about it.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. This is really the end of the story. Goodbye, my first love. Like that”
Suzu laughed and said.
“I see. ……”
“So, Fumika?”
“Eh?”
“Because, Fumika said that Taiyo-kun was her “Oshi”, didn’t she? Now you’re in the same high school as Taiyo-kun, aren’t you?”
“Yes, but ……”
“Has there been any progress? Do you talk to each other?”
“Y-yes. We’re in the same class …… and we hang out together.”
“Oh, wow!”
“Well, isn’t it amazing?”
I felt compelled to brag about the fact that I was playing with Taiyo-kun, who is very popular.
“So you’re ready to go out with him now?”
“Why? I can’t go out with him, can I?”
“Is that so?”
“Of course. Even in high school, there were all kinds of girls around him. ……”
“Yeah”
“Yeah. I don’t think it’s changed much since junior high school. So I’ve given up on him.”
“Eh, What a waste.”
“Well, we play out a bit, though. I’ve made some memories, so that’s good.”
“I see. …… Is that okay with you, Fumika?”
“Yes I’m satisfied.”
“I see. Ah, then, maybe you and Nagatsuki-kun ………”
“No, no. My friend is aiming at Nagatsuki, so I’m supporting her. Oh, I shouldn’t have told this to Suzu, should I?”
“Fufu. It’s fine. Is that friend a good person?”
“Yes. She’s so nice that I’m in trouble.”
“I see. It’s okay if she’s a good person. I want Nagatsuki-kun to be happy. ……”
“Suzu……”
“Well, I have to go now. It was nice talking to you today.”
“Yeah. Oh, you haven’t changed your contact details, have you? I’ll be in touch.”
“Okay. If you and Taiyo kun go out, let me know.”
“That’s not true.”
“Fufu. But I’m looking forward to it. See you!”
Suzu left.
I sit alone on the bench and drink milk tea. Nagatsuki, you really are a big fool.
But still, ‘Goodbye, my first love’……. When will I ever be able to think that?
Seeing Suzu in a full blown state, I regret a little that I went to high school with Taiyo-kun.
