“Why did you cover for her? Goto san.”
Nanami san said this just after the policemen, perpetrators, and school officials, the principal and vice principal, had left the conference room.
“What are you talking about?”
“Don’t play dumb. I’m talking about Horii senpai. The three male students are the ones who should be charged with the most crimes. You probably know that there’s a good chance that Horii senpai, who abetted the crime, will be charged with the crime as the main culprit. But why did you say that? It’s not like you don’t know that, do you?”
“I just didn’t like it. The situation where a bunch of grownups got together and tried to pin the blame on a single girl. Of course, I understand that Horii san is at fault, and if the case goes to trial, I intend to pursue it vigorously, so don’t worry.”
“I hope that’s the case.”
After looking at each other for a while, Goto san and Nanami san smiled and started talking about something else as if nothing had happened.
“Well then, Towa san, I’ll be heading to the police station now. I’m sure Towa san will be questioned about the situation at a later date, so it would be helpful if you could come with Yanagi san at that time.”
“I understand. Sora, you will be okay with that, too?”
“Yeah. If you’re okay with that, then I’m okay with that too.”
I’m a little relieved that everything went without a hitch.
“Thank you. Well then, please take care of Towa san, Yanagi-san.”
“I understand. Leave it to me.”
Goto san looked at me with satisfaction after I answered so and then left the conference room.
“I have some business to attend to, so I’ll leave you now.”
“Oh, yeah. Thank you, Nanami san.”
“Well then.”
After saying that, Nanami san immediately left the conference room.
“We should go, Sora.”
“Yeah. The meeting ended so quickly, but are you okay?”
“I think so. I’m sure Goto san will take care of the rest, and there’s nothing more we can do.”
“I’m sure. Then, let’s go home.”
Towa had a good point, so we left the meeting room as it was.
As amateurs, there is nothing more we can do.
We could not stir up the situation by making a bad move.
But there was one thing that bothered me.
Nanami san acted as if she knew Goto san.
What kind of relationship do they?
“Well, let’s not pry into it. There are far more things in this world that are better left unknown.”
“What did you say?”
“Nothing. Let’s just go home. There’s no point in hanging around here.”
“That’s true.”
With that, we decided to go home.
I hope this will be the end of everything.

“So, what do you want with me after making such an eye contact?”
“I don’t really have any business with you. I wanted to thank you as well.”
“Thank you? To me?
“Yes. That’s right.”
Goto san says this with a smiling face.
I have always had a horrible feeling that I don’t know what this kind of person is thinking.
I can’t even tell if he’s a good person or a bad person.
“I see. Well, I’ll accept your thanks.”
“Please do so. I’ll be going then. I have to go to the police station now.”
“Shall I go with you? I have the video evidence.”
“No, I’m fine. Besides, I have that much with me.”
Who is this person really?
The reason I was able to predictably put the camera down was largely because I was involved with Yanagi senpai.
How does this person get video evidence without that?
He is truly a mysterious person.
“As expected. Well then, I’ll go home.”
“Yes. Take care of yourself.
◇
“I’m home～but there’s no one here.”
“Of course not. It’s just before noon, so if Misora chan is here, it means something happened.”
“I see. What should we do? Can we have lunch outside today?”
As expected, we’ve been having problems for the past few days, and I’m sure she’ll be tired, so I feel bad for making her cook.
Isn’t it right to go out to eat for such a time as this?
“Hmmm, I don’t feel like going out again.”
“Well, shall we get a delivery? Pizza or something.”
“Pizza……sounds good. I’ve rarely eaten pizza.”
“Well, that’s settled then. I’ll order. What do you want?”
I opened the pizza delivery order page on the web and looked at it with Towa.
“There are so many kinds of pizza.”
“Yeah. There are quite a lot of different kinds these days. Some are available for a limited time.”
“You know a lot more than I thought you would.”
“Well, I used to take delivery when I was at home, so I know everything about it.”
There were times when my mom and dad didn’t come home, so Misora and I would always ask for a delivery.
That’s probably why I knew a little bit more about it.
“Then, I’ll order this one.”
“Okay. I’ll order it. It will probably arrive in half an hour.”
After placing the order, we spent the rest of the day relaxing.
Savoring the peace that had finally returned to me.
