“Sora, I’m sorry for everything that happened today.”

“No, Amane san shouldn’t be apologizing. They’re the ones at fault, and most of all it’s me who left Amane san alone even though I had been advised to do so.

It really is the worst.

Even though I had been given advice, I left Amane alone and put her in danger.

It’s just so careless.

“That’s not true. I was the one who told you to take a day off, and more importantly, you came to my rescue. That was a really cool thing to see.”

“I’m glad to hear that, but it’s still my fault in this case.”

This is the only place where I really have no excuse.

I really don’t even want to think about it if I hadn’t gotten Nanami san’s message.

I don’t want to lose anyone else.

“I really think you need to work on that self-loathing thing of yours, don’t you?”

“It’s normal, isn’t it? But I’m really glad that Amane san is safe.”

“Thank you. Also, could I hold your hand for a little while longer?”

“Of course. Don’t be shy, just hold my hand as long as you feel comfortable.”

It’s no big deal to hold hands.

I’m really glad that Amane san is safe.

“I wonder what will happen now?”

“I don’t know. I think Nanami san is explaining the situation to Sasaki sensei now, but I don’t know what will happen in the future. But at least I think it’s certain that the four people involved in this incident will be expelled from school. In addition, whether or not they will be brought to justice is another matter.”

This case is far beyond the scope of what the school can handle.

The police will certainly intervene in the case of the expulsion of the students.

But I’m not familiar with court cases, so I don’t know what will happen.

“Well, rather than that, who exactly is Sugiura san?”

“I don’t know much about that either. I heard that her father is a detective, but other than that I don’t know anything about her.”

I heard this story when I was involved in that mess a while ago.

I have no idea how much of it is true and how much is a lie.

“She really is a mystery, isn’t she? It seems that Sugiura san was expecting what was gonna happen to me, so I really don’t know who she is.”

“That’s right. The advice she gave me and the evidence this time is too much preconception. It would be more convincing if she said that she came from the future. Really.”

The only thing is, I don’t know what she is thinking at all.

I don’t even know if she’s a good guy or a bad guy.

I don’t even know why she saved her this time.

There were too many mysteries for me to trust her.

“But she was the reason you came running to me. I should be grateful.”

“I guess so. If Nanami san hadn’t sent me that message, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything.”

“I have to tell you again, Sora, don’t beat yourself up too much. I don’t think it’s Sora’s fault.”

“……Got it.”

That’s impossible.

It is true that Amane san was safe in the end this time.

But it made me feel scared, and above all, I can’t leave my own naivety as it is.

Nanami san really helped me this time because she sent me messages on a whim, and if it wasn’t for that, I would have stayed at home without doing anything.

And then, after all was said and done, I was told this.

I don’t want that.

I don’t even want to think about it.

“I’m gonna call Goto san once anyway. About what happened today.”

“I think that’s a good idea. I’ll call Misora too. I’ll be home a little late.”

I don’t know what will happen after this, but I guess I won’t be going home anytime soon.

This time it was really my fault.

Even without giving advice or anything like that, the reason Amane san was targeted was because she was involved with me.

“Damn…….”

While Amane san was making a phone call to Goto san, I was alone in my self-loathing.

“So you two can go home today. Sugiura told me what happened and showed me the video evidence. We will have a meeting tomorrow with the four perpetrators and their guardians. Well, it’s not so much a discussion as it is a confirmation of the facts and punishment. What those four did is unforgivable, and we’re planning to have the police come afterwards, so please be prepared for that.”

“I understand.”

I got the message from Nanami san and returned to the conference room and was told by Sasaki sensei.

Apparently, I can go home today.

“Amane, are you alright?”

“Yes. I’m fine. Sora is with me.”

“I see. Yanagi. 

Take care of Amane.”

“I’m gonna do that even if you don’t tell me.”

I’m not going to leave Amane san alone right now even if no one tells me to.

“I see. Well, you two should come to school tomorrow. We’ll discuss it like I said before.”

“I understand. Then, I’ll leave.”

“Excuse me.”

We left the conference room with Sasaki san seeing us off.

◇ 

“Welcome back, Onii, Towa Nee san ! Are you all right?”

“I’m fine. Thank you for worrying about me, Misora chan.”

“It’s natural to worry ! Are you sure nothing happened?”

“Just in case. It was a close call, but Sora saved me.

When we arrived home, Misora jumped on Amane san.

She must have been quite worried because I had told her about the situation to a certain extent when I contacted her earlier.

Of course, I got Amane san’s permission when I reported to Misora.

“Really, Onii !? That’s great work !”

“It’s not like that. I’m just doing what I’m supposed to do because I’m in the wrong this time.”

“You’ve been saying that for a long time, Sora.”

“You should give up because he’ll keep blaming himself. He’ll calm down in a little while.”

After all, Misora ​​understands me very well.

I really have to be careful not to let something like that happen next time.

“Okay. Shall we have dinner instead?”

“I’ll help you~”

“Thank you. I’ll leave it to you.”

With that, the two disappeared toward the kitchen.

To be honest, I don’t have much free time at this time of night.

I feel kind of bad when I have nothing to do while the two of them are cooking.

After all, maybe I should ask them to teach me how to cook sometime too.

As I sit on the couch thinking this, my phone vibrates.

“Who’s this?”

The words come out of my mouth like that, but I already know who it is.

There are three people whose contact information is registered on my phone.

Amane san, Misora, and Nanami san.

Amane san and Misora are in the kitchen, so they would never call me.

So, I had two choices: Nanami san or a nuisance caller.

Well, judging from the timing, I’m guessing it’s Nanami san.

Is it about today’s incident?

I took out my phone and saw Nanami’s name on the screen.

“Hello?”

I answered the phone after moving to the balcony.

“You;re late, Senpai ! When I call you, please answer within one ring !”

“Don’t ask something impossible !? So, what the hell do you want?”

“Please don’t bother asking me something so obvious. It’s about Amane senpai today.”

“Well, I suppose.”

I’m somewhat relieved that the topic is as expected.

If additional troublesome matters were to come up here, I would indeed feel dizzy.

“I’m sure you’re aware of the situation, but the perpetrators will probably be taken to the police once tomorrow.”

“I guess so. This case can’t be solved with just a prank.”

In other words, it’s an ordinary crime.

It’s not an acceptable act.

“So, I think the three male students will probably end up in a juvenile detention center or something like that. However, I don’t know about Horii senpai.”

“Why?”

The reason being is that she’s been doing things that are so terrible that she deserves to be sent to a reformatory just like the other boys.

“Horii senpai has always said that Yanagi senpai was brainwashed, and has never listened to anything else. If she continues to say this at the juvenile court hearing, which will be held in the family court, maybe it will result in a psychiatric evaluation.”

“Is that so?”

Certainly, I feel that Runa’s recent behavior was not normal.

I’m not involved in it though, so I don’t know what’s going on.

“Yes. In that case, she might be found not guilty.”

“Really?”

If that happens, will she do something like that again?

If that happens, I can’t overlook it.

To be honest, I really can’t.

“Well then, you two come to school tomorrow. We’ll discuss it like I said before.

Please share this information with Amane senpai as well.”

“I understand. Who are you really….?”

She knew so much about so many things that I couldn’t help but ask questions.

“Senpai, please stop prying. I have no intention of harming Senpai or Amane senpai. However, if you try to find out about me, I don’t know what will happen, okay?”

Nanami-san stabbed me with a hard voice that was so cold that I couldn’t feel the temperature at all, instead of the cute voice she used to have.

“……Got it.”

“Good. Then let’s meet tomorrow for a discussion.”

With that, Nanami san hung up the phone.

“Who is she really……?”

I wanted to know, but I knew that any prying would result in painful repercussions.

She really is untouchable.

I decided not to pry into Nanami san’s life.

I decided to do so and returned to the living room.
