It has been a week since I exchanged contact information with Sugiura san.
As it turns out, I still haven’t gotten the Christmas data without any request from her.
“Onii, I need to talk to you.”
“What’s wrong?”
On Saturday, after finishing breakfast in Amane san’s room, Misora called me over.
What on earth did she want to talk about?
I wonder if she is angry because I have been too busy collecting evidence at school lately and haven’t given her much attention.
“What is Onii doing at school these days? I heard that you’ve been vague when Towa Nee san asks you about it.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I’m just going about my day like usual.”
In fact, I’ve been collecting evidence of the bullying for a long time.
There’s a camera set up in the corner of the class, so everything is recorded, so the more people around me harass me, the more they climb the stairs to hell.
“That’s not true, right? I heard you were beaten up before. I know when Towa Nee san asked you about it, you dodged the question. So tell me what you’ve been doing at school and what kind of situation you’re in. At least we are on your side.”
Misora says this to me while holding my hand.
She really is my little sister.
She’s always so kind to me, and that’s why I don’t want her to get involved.
Of course, Misora is not the only one.
I don’t want Amane san to get involved either.
So, as much as possible, I didn’t want to tell her what I was doing, and I didn’t want her to get involved in this matter.
“……”
“Sora, I’m not gonna back down this time. I’m not leaving until you tell me what you’ve been doing.”
“That doesn’t sound like you, Amane san. You’re not normally the type to do such things, are you?”
“Maybe, but I can’t help it. You seem unstable enough for me to feel like I have to do this. No, you look more dangerous than unstable. For some purpose. It seems like you’re willing to die if you achieve that goal.”
Amane san is too sharp.
She can see right through everything I’m trying to hide from her.
She really is a mysterious person.
I don’t know much about her, but somehow I feel like she understands me deeply.
“…..That’s not true.”
“Then why are you looking away? What are you doing right now?”
I’m cornered.
If this keeps up, I’m not going to be able to hide what I’m trying to hide.
Well, it’s not as if I have to hide it.
But I don’t want them to know how ugly I am.
And I can’t stand it if they know and hate me.
“Why do you look so pained, Onii? Is it so hard for you to say?”
“……I’m sorry. I can’t say it after all. I’m really sorry.”
All I could do was apologize.
I really didn’t want to say anything about this.
If I told them here and they scorned me, I would not even be able to accomplish my revenge.
“I understand. But you have to promise me one thing. I won’t ask you what you are gonna do now. But you must come back to me when you have finished what you have to do. If you can promise me that, I won’t pursue it any further. Promise?”
“Yeah. I promise.”
It was probably Amane san’s utmost kindness.
I still don’t understand why she cares so much about me.
But now is not the time to think about it.
As long as I get the Christmas video, I’ve completely won.
I can knock them down to the depths of hell.
“You’ll keep your word, won’t you?”
“Of course. I have no intention of betraying you, Amane san.”
◇
“Good morning, Senpai !”
“Good morning. So, may I ask why you called me all the way here on a Sunday morning?”
Sugiura san, who had not contacted me until now, suddenly requested a meeting.
I’m sure it has something to do with Christmas video, but it’s hard to read what this girl is thinking.
“Of course it’s because I wanna go on a date with you. Shall we go then?”
“Okay, don’t pull me.”
She suddenly pulls my hand and takes me somewhere.
I have no idea what this girl is thinking or what her goals are, so I’m wary of her.
I’m sure she’s lying about this being a date.
“Can I ask you one question?”
“What is it?”
“What kind of relationship do Senpai and Amane senpai have?”
“What kind of relationship?”
“I was wondering. The day after bad rumors started to circulate about Yanagi senpai, they started going to school together, and they went home together. If you’ve been doing that every day for the past few weeks, I can’t help but be concerned.”
Apparently, the rumors had spread among the juniors as well.
Well, considering Amane san’s popularity, maybe it can’t be helped.
“Also, what about when you were eating lunch together? Up until now, Amane senpai had never had anything to do with men, but now she’s suddenly with a male student who has a bad reputation. What kind of relationship do the two of you have?”
“Is responding to that a condition for giving me the Christmas video?”
“You can take it that way.”
“If that’s the case, I don’t need the video. It would have been perfect if I had it, but it’s not absolutely necessary. I don’t think I wanna go so far as to sell Amane san to get it.”
I don’t know why this girl is asking me that.
Is she planning to harm Amane san or is she just genuinely curious?
Either way, I had no desire to talk about Amane san for my purposes.
“I knew you were an interesting senior. You put other people first instead of yourself.”
“That’s not true. I owe her a favor. I just can’t betray her.”
“That’s right~ Ordinary people are supposed to care about themselves the most, but Senpai put others first. Did Amane senpai like that?”
“Beats me. I don’t know about that.”
What did this girl want in the end?
Did she want to know about Amane san or does she have a completely different agenda?
Her expression is always smiling and never changes.
I feel fear because I really don’t know what she is thinking.
“You don’t have to be so alarmed. My goal has been achieved to some extent, so I’ll give you the data.”
The next moment, my phone vibrates.
I checked the screen and found that Sugiura san had sent me a video file.
I looked at the contents and saw that it was a video of our entire exchange at that time.
“Thank you.”
“It’s fine. But can I ask you for one thing?”
What is it?
I can’t relax when I’m dealing with this girl.
What in the world does she want from me?
“May I ask you to call me by my name?”
“Hmm?”
Call her by name?
Is that what she wants?
I thought she was going to ask for something more than that.
“Surprised?”
“Well, yeah. I thought you would ask for something more complicated.”
“Not really. Would you?”
“Well, I can’t ignore your request if I receive something like this. Thank you, Nanami san.”
“! !”
Nanami san’s face turned bright red and she looked down.
What’s that reaction???
“Nanami san?”
“Y-yes ! I’m fine ! Please excuse me for today ! Sora senpai.”
“Oh, hey.”
Before I could stop her, Nanami san ran home.
She’s fast.
“For now, I have all the pieces. Now I just have to figure out how to use them.”
Now that I have the Christmas footage, I can prove my innocence.
I’ve talked to the homeroom teacher about the bullying before, but seeing as they didn’t take any action, I’m sure they’re trying to cover it up.
So, let’s go talk to the principal next.
There are so many other pieces that can ruin those guys.
How could I have gathered so much evidence in the past week?
I was surprised myself.
But it looks like I’ll be free from the hard and painful school life now.
