“Senpai, wait a minute.”
“What’s wrong? Nanami san.”
When I was about to leave the student advisory room with Amane san, Nanami san stopped me.
To be honest, I wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, but I couldn’t ignore it.
“I know what these people were trying to do. As I said before, I have objective evidence. So this should be a firm issue. It is far beyond the scope of a problem that can be settled within the school.”
Nanami san looked me in the eye and said seriously.
Indeed, it is not difficult to imagine what was going to happen just by looking at that place for a moment.
But now there are four perpetrators in this student advisory room.
I didn’t want Amane san to stay in a place like this for too long, is what I was thinking.
“Why do you have the evidence?”
Amane san asked Nanami san, trembling a little.
It’s understandable that she’s shaking since I had been in such a scary situation not too long ago.
“It’s still a secret. I’m sure that the time will come when I can tell you, so please hold on to it until then.”
“I see……”
“I don’t know much about what happened on the roof. The only thing I’ve been told is that Amane san suddenly popped into the guidance advisory office and there was a problem on the rooftop.”
Sasaki sensei looked over at the three of us as if he was a little troubled.
As a teacher, he probably can’t say anything bad in a situation where he doesn’t know what’s going on.
“It wasn’t my fault ! I was just trying to save Sora from that witch !”
Runa suddenly started ranting again.
Please just shut up.
This guy always says bullshit when she opens her mouth.
I’m really running out of patience.
“Sasaki sensei, can we change places for now? I don’t want Amane san and these guys to be in the same space.”
“…..Okay. It seems like it would be more comfortable that way. Is it okay if we talk in the conference room?”
“Yes. That’s fine. You two okay with that?”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
I decided to change the place after confirming with both of them.
If I stay in that place any longer, I’m afraid I’ll get out of hand.
“Then, you three, please follow me. You all remain here until I return.”
Sasaki sensei glanced at Runa and the others, then walked in front of us to the conference room.
◇
“So, can I ask what happened on the rooftop?
“I don’t know all the details either, but can I say it?”
To be frank, I think it’s pretty cruel to make someone talk about it right away after such an experience.
But there’s no one I can listen to other than Amane san.
Maybe Nanami san knows something, but I wonder if she’ll tell me.
“No, I’ll explain it. It would be cruel to make her talk after such an experience, and I’m watching the whole scene.”
Nanami san looked at me and said this with a wry smile.
It seems that she can see what I’m thinking.
What a truly terrifying junior.
“I understand. Then, let’s hear what Sugiura has to say. If there is anything wrong, Amane can point it out.”
“…..I understand.”
Sasaki sensei also seems to think Nanami san has a point, and tries to move on with the conversation.
I’m happy to be able to continue the conversation, but Amane san, who has been sitting next to me, has been holding my hand for a while now and I’m really nervous.
Her hand is shaking a little.
My worry about whether my hands are sweating is mixed with my worry about whether Amane san is okay.
In terms of percentage, Amane san’s worries are 90% and the remaining 10%.
“First, Amane senpai was called by Horii senpai on her way home and taken to the rooftop. Then, after a short conversation, three male students entered the rooftop and restrained Amane senpai with a rope. From then on, I don’t have to tell you, but you can imagine what happened in that situation.”
“……Such a thing happened?”
“Yes. There’s no doubt about it.”
Did something like that happen…
Is Runa that crazy?
And that guy has been saying all along that Amane san is brainwashing me.
I don’t know how serious she was about it, but honestly, whether she was serious or joking, she was crossing the line.
“Sasaki sensei. This is clearly a crime of attempted indecent assault. We can’t just let it go, no matter if it happened in the school. I think we need to have a thorough discussion with the police.”
“Well, even if you say so, it is difficult for us to make a decision when the only evidence we have is testimony.”
Nanami san said firmly, but Sasaki sensei’s reaction was not good.
That’s probably true.
It is understandable that a teacher’s position is that they cannot punish based on uncertain information.
“So, I have objective evidence. Take a look at this.”
Saying that, Nanami san took out her smartphone.
“Before that, Amane senpai, may I ask you to leave your seat? This video is a partial recording of what happened on that rooftop. It wouldn’t be good for you to see it, would it?”
How in the world did she film it?
Isn’t this kid looking too far into the future, like the advice she gave the other day?
I had asked myself the same question a while ago, but now was not the time to ask it.
“I understand.”
“I’ll go with Amane san too. I don’t wanna leave her alone right now. Please call me when you’re done talking.”
“Okay. Is that okay with you, Sasaki sensei?”
“Yeah. The circumstances are different. Please use the nurse’s office. I will contact you.”
“I understand. Then.”
I headed to the infirmary with Amane san.
Her hands were still clenched, and the trembling had not subsided.
◇
“This isn’t edited or anything, right?”
“Of course not. The incident occurred only half an hour ago, you know. How could there be that much time?”
After I showed the video to Sasaki sensei, I was thinking about how to proceed.
At least three of the boys will probably be expelled from school.
And of course, Horii senpai.
That, too, I suppose.
“You’re right. Sorry.”
“No, I understand that it is unbelievable.”
I never thought she would go that far.
I thought it might be possible, but she must be crazy to really do it.
Even if we continue to take the matter to court, she will likely be given a psychiatric evaluation and put on probation, so I don’t know what I should do.
“How about listening to the perpetrators for now? Just ask them to leave today and meet with their parents or guardians at a later date to discuss the matter. However, this crime is a non-custodial offense, so even if Amane senpai does nothing, those people will be charged with the crime.”
“I agree. It would be better to let Amane rest for now. Amane has Yanagi with her, so she should be fine for a while. I’ll let her go home today and rest, and we’ll set up a table for discussion tomorrow.”
“I think that would be a good idea. It would be good to have the police involved in the discussion. Please invite me to the meeting tomorrow. I will testify as a witness.”
“I understand. I will contact you when I have more details. Thank you for today.”
“No, don’t worry about it. I only owed the seniors a favor.”
Well, that’s not the only reason, but there’s no need to talk about it.
The problem is more about Horii senpai.
The boys are sure to get a prison sentence, but from the looks of it, it’s going to be difficult for Horii senpai.
So, what should I do?
Well, it all depends on what we discuss tomorrow.
I’m sure there will be a trial.
The attempted indecent assault charge is a non-custodial offense, so it’s over as soon as the incident is exposed.
So, we’ll see how far tomorrow’s discussion will go.
Well, I guess the four perpetrators will be taken to the police once.
“Then, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.”
“Yeah. I’ll be counting on you, Sugiura.”
I left the student advisory room.
I feel like tomorrow will be busy.
