“I guess Senpai’s popularity has finally settled down.”
“Seriously. I used to be surrounded by them every time I moved during lunch break, so it was very difficult for me.”
The Monday after we went to the amusement park
I was having a conversation with Nanami san.
I don’t really dislike this kind of time.
Because Nanami san is trustworthy and it’s just plain fun to talk to her.
Misora and Towa are both trustworthy, but I don’t want to bother them or worry them, so I tend to make things up a little.
Well, it doesn’t mean that I want to bother Nanami san.
“You were really incredibly popular—how many girls asked you for your contact information?”
“I don’t remember. I mean, I didn’t exchange contact information with any of them.”
“Eh !? You didn’t? What a waste.
You were asked for contact information by so many girls.”
“In the first place, I don’t want to exchange contacts with people who believed the rumors.”
The only people who reached out to me when the rumors broke were Towa, Misora, and Nanami san.
Everyone else believed the rumors and blamed me.
I remember that most of the people were talking behind my back even if they were not attacking me.
“Well, that’s true. So what can I do for you today? I feel like we’ve been talking a lot at lunch lately, but maybe you’ve fallen for me?”
“No, it’s not like that. I was just wondering if you have learned anything since then.”
“I see. It’s a shame you feel that way.”
“You are definitely making fun of me.”
There are times when Nanami san is having fun making fun of me.
The same goes for Towa, but Nanami san makes fun of me quite often.
I don’t mind being made fun of, but I don’t like it when people make fun of me in a way that implies a romantic relationship.
“How is it going? And, as for my progress, I still don’t know where he is.
It seems like he hasn’t returned home, so now I have no idea where he is or what it’s doing. If he’s this far gone, he might not do us any harm.”
“I hope so.”
If he doesn’t come to harm, I don’t care what happens to Satoru.
I don’t care where he’s hanging out to die, it doesn’t matter to me anymore.
“That’s about it. I’ll let you know if I find out anything else.”
“Please do.”
“If it’s not more than this shouldn’t Senpai go to Amane senpai’s place as soon as possible?”
“I guess so. I’ll see you later.”
“Yup.”
Nanami san said cheerfully and returned to the classroom.
Now that I think about it, Nanami san was one of the people who helped me when I was in a terrible situation.
I feel like I’m forgetting this, but Nanami san is also one of the few people who helped me.
I did get involved in a terrible incident after that, but she’s been helping me around quite a bit lately, so plus minus I’d say that’s a plus.
“If I don’t get there soon, Towa will be pissed off again.”
I have to hurry because lately she’s been getting angry if I’m late going to lunch break.
I should have told her that I would definitely talk to Nanami san.
◇
“You’re here at last.”
“Sorry I’m late.”
“No, it’s okay, I haven’t waited that long, but what were you talking about? Is it about Fujita kun?”
Towa asks me as I take my seat.
As always, Towa has good intuition and can immediately guess.
I don’t know how much time we’ll be spending together, but I don’t want to keep secrets from Towa.
“Yes, that’s right. It seems even Nanami san couldn’t figure anything out.”
“I see. Maybe he’s already gone somewhere far away.”
“If that’s the case, I’ll be relieved.”
“That’s true. But it’s exhausting to worry too much about it, so I think we should just put it in the back of our minds for now.”
“I agree. Thank you.”
“……It’s the least thing you can thank me for.”
What’s with Towa’s red face?
Is it possible that she has a fever?
“Forgive me.”
After saying that, I put my hand on Towa’s forehead.
Yeah, it’s not particularly hot.
I was relieved to see that she didn’t have a fever.
“What are you doing all of a sudden?”
“No, your face was red, so I thought you might have a fever, but I don’t think you do.”
“…I won’t get a fever that easily. Sora is a worrier.”
Towa folds her arms and looks away, looking a little child-like and cute.
I don’t think I have the right to say this, but it makes me feel a bit uneasy to think that people other than me in my class are seeing this.
I guess it’s a desire for exclusivity.
I don’t have the right to monopolize Towa.
“……? What’s wrong with you, suddenly looking down?”
“No, it’s nothing ! Let’s have lunch. We’ve got plenty of time, but we’ll run out of time if we wait too long.”
“That’s true. Shall we eat?”
Towa made a thoughtful gesture for a moment, but then immediately took out her bento.
