S-she’s not there~!!???
Wait a minute. What do you mean she’s not there? If she’s not there, that means she’s not there, right? So, it’s correct to say that Hisada-chan wasn’t there? It means that Hisada-chan, who should have been there, is gone?
Conclusion: Hisada-chan is not there.
Oh, it’s over.
Why can’t things go smoothly? I didn’t do anything to mess up the original story this time! I was a good boy! Why are you being so mean?
…Wait a minute.
“I’m going out for a bit!”
I said that and ran out.
What an idiot I am! While I was thinking about such trivial things, Hisada-chan was feeling lonely all by herself.
…Yet I was only thinking about myself and not about my favorite character. What’s original about that? What am I doing?
Damn it! If this was going to happen, I should have gone to the teacher’s place from the start. Then this wouldn’t have happened. I made a mistake, I was greedy, and that’s why this happened.
My desire to see my grandmother has caused trouble for Hisada-chan. How can I face my grandmother with pride after doing something so shitty?
The branches are in the way. I thought I’d find her quickly, so I came in a T-shirt and shorts, and the branches are hitting me hard and hurting. But I don’t have time to worry about that. Hurry up.
There won’t be any bears, right? We wouldn’t come to a place where bears come out for an orientation camp, would we? I’m anxious, so negative thoughts keep popping into my head.
Wait a moment, Hisada-chan.
I found her.
Hisada-chan was crouching in a sitting position.
Yay, I’m relieved. I was so relieved that my legs gave out, and I sat down right there. I came to help, but now I don’t know who needs help more. …No, it’s not me.
At least I’m glad I found her. Now that I know she’s safe, the worst won’t happen.
Alright, I can stand up now, so should I go talk to her?
I heard the devil’s whisper again.
I’ll call Saotome and have him go instead.
After all, I know she’s safe. So it’s okay to proceed according to the original story from here, right? Even if I don’t become a grandson to be proud of, I want to see my grandmother. Is that wrong?
I sent a message to Saotome telling him to come immediately and decided to wait for him. I’m sorry, Hisada-chan. Even if you hate me, I want to see my grandmother. That’s why I’m able to keep going like this.
When he asked the obvious question, “Where are you?” I replied, “I’m at the accommodation facility way down south,” and waited for Saotome.
I heard footsteps approaching, so I decided to hide. If I met Saotome here, he’d say, “You found her first, so you should be the one to speak up.”
When he messaged, “Where are you?” I replied, “You should look around there.” Now Saotome would be able to find Hisada-chan.
So I decided to watch the emotional scene where Saotome finds Hisada-chan. Oh no, I should have brought popcorn. If there’s butter soy sauce flavor, I’ll have that, please.
Piro-rin♪
My cell phone rang. I received a message from someone. Huh? Who is it? It says “Sarasa-chan,” so it must be from Niiro.
What is it at a time like this? …Help?
…Help!
I sit up, having been trying to relax, and start running again. I guess I lost track of where I was while looking for Hisada-chan. I can understand why Niiro has a poor sense of direction.
I should have left Niiro at the accommodation after all. Because of me, the heroine is in danger again!
I operated my phone while running, sending a message saying, “I’ll definitely find you! So please hang in there for now!” and tried to send a positive message to reassure her.
I might look like an idiot just running around without knowing where I am, but I’m panicking. My mind is a mess and I can’t seem to get it together. I should have gotten rid of unnecessary things in my mind earlier so I could organize it better.
…I can only think of such unnecessary things.
I’ve always run away when things got tough, so that habit has resurfaced. In the end, even if I were to be reincarnated, the core of who I am wouldn’t change at all. I’m just a dirty human being, I realized once again.
During my hikikomori days, I always blamed others, but this time I’m acknowledging that I’m at fault. Can I say I’ve grown up? No, probably not.
Actually, this is something the protagonist, Saotome, should be doing, but he’s busy with another heroine right now, so I’m stepping in as his best friend. Am I not up to the task? …Don’t say that.
…Hm? I can see a flickering light over there. …No way. No, it’s definitely that.
“Hey there~? A girl all alone at this late hour~. Are you waiting to be hit on?”
I may be wrong, but I chose words that Mizuno Shota would say. If it were me, I wouldn’t say that even if I had to bite my tongue.
But for Niiro, who was feeling uneasy on her own, it’s definitely better to be this silly and cheerful. If I said something like, “I’m glad I saw you,” it might convey my desperation and make her feel guilty. Right now, I want to applaud Mizuno Shota .
“Hehe, what’s that?”
Look, Niiro’s face, which was full of anxiety a moment ago, has brightened up. I didn’t want to see Niiro looking gloomy, so I’m grateful to Mizuno Shota .
Just seeing that face made it worth the effort, and I even feel like I got something extra in return.
“Did you hurt your leg?”
“I twisted it.”
I thought it might be that, but it was exactly that. Stop it, Hisada-chan also hurt her leg and is crouching there. Both heroines hurt their legs?
“Can you walk?”
“No.”
I’m at a loss for words with such a quick answer.
“Which would you prefer: to be carried princess-style, carried on my back, or carried on my shoulders? I recommend carrying you princess-style.”
The first three options are obviously jokes, so I’m honored just to be able to carry Niiro on my shoulders. Niiro is going to touch me! It’ll be a memory I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.
“Then… I’ll go with your recommendation.”
“…What?”
What is she talking about?
Oh, I see. She’s feeling down right now, so she chose my recommendation without thinking. That means I can sell as many pots to Niiro as I want.
I’m worried about this girl. If she feels even a little negative, someone will immediately take advantage of her vulnerability. She might be the type of girl who falls for scams.
Another possibility is that she might just like words like “recommended,” “limited time offer,” and “limited quantity.”
Because she definitely doesn’t want to be carried like a princess by someone she dislikes. Maybe she’s mistaking me for Saotome? If that’s the case, I can understand, but Saotome and I are completely different.
“Carrying you like a princess is dangerous in this environment, so let’s not do it.”
I feel bad recommending it and then refusing, but it’s a bit of a slope, so carrying her like a princess is dangerous.
“Then… I’ll carry on your back.”
“Um… I’ll lend you my shoulder. I won’t charge you any interest.”
I ended up speaking in polite language without thinking. Because Niiro is acting strange right now. It’s not the kind of attitude she would normally have towards Mizuno Shota .
It’s possible that she’s mistaking me for Saotome because it’s dark. Or maybe it’s dark and my face looks super handsome to her.
“Come on, if you walk, we’ll be late.”
I didn’t say, “It doesn’t matter if we’re late,” because I was already tired.
“Okay, I understand. Here, get on.”
I went over to Niiro and squatted down. I’m a beginner at carrying people on my back, but will I be okay?
“…Hmm.”
“You’re on. Alright! Let’s go!”
It turned out to be surprisingly easy. High school boys’ bodies are really energetic. It seems like I was only tired mentally.
“Wow, I never thought I’d find Sarasa chan while looking for Haruka chan.”
“Did you find Hisada-chan?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Ryusei is with Haruka-chan, so he’ll find her soon. He’s the kind of gentleman who will always help a girl in trouble.”
“You two are really close, aren’t you?”
“We’ve been together since middle school.”
In reality, we’ve only been together for a month, so we’re almost strangers.
“…I’m sorry. I’m embarrassed, so please put me down.”
Her eyes finally adjusted and she recognized me as Shota, so she seemed embarrassed and wanted me to put her down. I was happy to be able to interact with Niiro, even if only for a short time.
“Are your legs okay?”
“Give me your shoulder.”
“Sure.”
We slowly made our way along, hopping on one foot. I was afraid that the leg that wasn’t injured would get injured.
“…Mizuno.”
“Hm?”
“…Thanks for coming.”
“No problem. If you call me again, I’ll come running at the speed of light.”
I’m joking around like this, but inside I’m really nervous. That’s why I can’t give up on my favorite character.
Also, thank you for letting me imitate the protagonist for a little while. I’ll be going back to my usual role as a best friend, so I won’t be able to do anything this cool again.
Meanwhile
“Don’t touch my legs!”
“I can’t carry you if I don’t touch them!”
“Carry me without touching me.”
“Don’t be ridiculous!”
Saotome found Hisada and carried him on her back. Hisada, who was supposed to be carried, was making so many demands that Saotome was at his wits’ end.
“I’m really glad you’re safe.”
“Hmph.”
“Why were you here?”
“Nothing… I just wanted to cool off.”
Hisada was lying. Saotome thought so, but he didn’t ask further. he thought it might be something she didn’t want to talk about.
“Make sure you thank Shota properly.”
“…”
“Shota.” Hearing that name, Hisada frowned. That’s because Hisada considered Shota to be an annoying guy.
“…Tch. Who would want to be with a guy like that?”
“He was looking for you more seriously than anyone else. We’ve been together for a while, but this is the first time I’ve seen Shota so serious.”
“…Him?”
Hisada was confused. He called her by her first name on their first meeting, talked to her familiarly even though they weren’t close, and was always noisy in class, yet he was seriously looking for her.
I don’t understand. I ignored him when he talked to me, I even cursed at him, and of course we weren’t close. So why?
“Ah, look.”
When I looked ahead, I saw Shota jumping up and down and waving his hands.
“He is covered in injuries from searching for you, you know?”
Just as Saotome Ryusei said, Mizuno Shota’s face, arms, and legs were covered in small but numerous injuries.
“You’re safe, Haruka-chan!”
What a weird guy… Creepy.
