Episode 51

After getting over my cold, I decided to take an extra day off before going back to school, just to be safe.

If I went back to school immediately after recovering from a cold and caught a cold again, I would cause trouble for Kohime again.

I remember that Kohime came to my house and took care of me, but I don’t remember what happened after I fell asleep because I was at the end of my strength.

When I woke up, Kohme was gone, but the warmth remaining in my left hand proved that she had been attending to my emotional needs until just before I woke up.

What a useless person I am for not being able to find the engagement ring that Kohime, who has been so kind to me, gave me…….

Although I felt depressed, I decided that I couldn’t stay depressed forever, so I got ready and left the house.

“Ah, good morning.”

When I opened the front door, the girl who was standing in front of it was Kohime.

Usually when she comes to pick me up, she waits in the car that Miki san is driving, but today, for some reason, she had come to the front door.

“Good morning. Why did you come all the way to the front door?”

“Eita san, it’s because you’ve been sick, so I was worried and came to your door.”

When I had a cold, Kohime went out of her way to take a day off from school to come to my house and take care of me.

That alone was enough to make my feelings for her even greater, but her kindness in picking me up at the door after I was sick made her presence in my life even greater.

I already know that Kohime is kind, but she always goes above and beyond the kindness I know.

“Thanks. Thank you for taking care of me. You really saved my life.”

“No, I’m in a position where I have to repay Eita san even if it takes me the rest of my life.”

Kohime’s words made me happy, but there was also a part that stuck with me.

That way of saying it, I feel like she’s saying that if I wasn’t Kohime’s savior, there would be no relationship between me and her.

……No, there is no way that our relationship, which we have built up to this point, could have collapsed just because the ring was thrown away.

Let’s put aside the backward thinking for now and think about what we’re going to do about the ring from now on.

“……Thanks. Let’s go then.”

“Yes !”

I couldn’t help but think that from now on, until I die, I want the kind girl named Kohime to keep smiling beside me.

◆◇

During lunch break, I was eating lunch with Kento and Hanai around the desk.

“It’s been half a day, are you feeling all right?”

“Yeah. I’m back to my normal physical condition now.”

“They say that idiots don’t catch colds, but you can catch a cold.”

“You’re as bitter as ever, Hanai san.”

“It’s called the flip side of love. While Eita was resting, Hanai was really worried about Eita. She’s worried too much and getting irritated.”

“Hey, you shouldn’t say that !”

Although Hanai is not the type to show off her kindness to the fullest like Khime, she is actually a kind girl who thinks about others more than anyone else.

Otherwise, Kento would not have chosen Hanai as his girlfriend, and she has many good qualities besides her kindness.

Because I understand Hanai’s kindness, I can take Hanai’s harsh words earlier about idiots not catching a cold as kindness.

“Thank you, I’m sorry for worrying you both. I love Hanai too.”

“Eh, what’s that, a confession? Well, I was worried, but I never said that I love Eita. It’s weird to say that I love you too.”

“Anyway, why did you catch a cold? I’ve never heard of Eita catching a cold. Did you even go outside naked after taking a bath?”

“Eh, do you think I’m such a pervert in your mind?”

“……”

“No, please don’t get silent. Then it would have been much better if you had just called me an idiot like Hanai did.”

“Well, it’s true that Eita is an idiot in many ways.”

“I said it’s better, but there’s something wrong with that way of saying it.”

Having said that, when I remembered how I had gone into the river looking for the ring without listening to Kohime’s advice, it made me realize that maybe I was an idiot.

“Was there any particular reason why you caught a cold?”

“I’m not saying there wasn’t, but……”

After Sumika throws the ring into the river and asks Kento and the others to look for it, they say, [If you still want to look for it, we’ll help you too.]

However, I didn’t ask them to help me find the ring because I couldn’t involve them in my favor.

That’s why it’s hard for me to say that I went into the river alone to look for the ring…..

While I was thinking about this, a voice suddenly called out to me from behind.

“Eita, come here for a minute.”

“…….”

Saying that, the one who tried to take me out of the classroom was my worst ex-girlfriend, Sumika.
