“Uh, …… g-good morning.”
“Oh! Good morning! Sumeragi ku—! Sumeragi chan!”
Since then, she has been wearing a girl’s uniform to school. The fact that she was actually a girl had, for a time, brought tears to the eyes of all the girls in the school as they crowded into the classroom.
After a while, however, “This is what it is!” and it was accepted surprisingly easily. The reason was that the fact that she was wearing a skirt did not change the fact that Sumeragi was a good-looking. The girls accepted her as long as she had a good face.
Thus, the commotion settled down sooner than expected.
“Sumeragi chan! Let’s go home together after school today!~”
“Haha, sorry, I have an appointment today. ……”
“Eeeh?~”
The girls’ popularity is still alive and well.
“Hey, Tazuna,…… Sumeragi ……, she’s really beautiful,…….”
“I guess so.”
“…I think I’m falling in love with her.”
Moreover, even the boys, including Saejima, began to pay attention to her. Well, with that look, it’s only natural.
However, there were some boys who said, “She doesn’t look like a woman at all. ……”
“What do you mean by ‘not like a woman’?”
“Eh?”
“What is “womanly”? How is it feminine?”
“Eh?”
“I mean, isn’t that kind of thinking old-fashioned?~”
“Eh, Ah, Eh”
“Isn’t that racist? You want me to put it on social networking sites?”
“Ah, ……, I’m sorry, …….”
And so on and so forth. The boys, who were not very good at what they did, were stuffed by several girls and eventually cried.
Stay strong, Amen.
As such, Sumeragi is the center of rave reviews and is very much in the spotlight at school.
“Hey, hey, Tezuna.”
“What, Saejima?”
“You and Sumeragi were close, weren’t you? Did you know she was a girl, by any chance?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Hnnn? To be honest, are you going out with her ……?”
“No.”
“I see.”
“…… Saejima, are you seriously planning to go after her?”
“I have a feeling I can do it.”
“Where does that confidence come from?”
Afterwards, when Saejima tried to talk to Sumeragi, he was stopped by the girls surrounding him and started crying.
Ah… the second victim.
“Really boys!”
“As soon as they see you’re a girl, they look at you with such dirty eyes!”
“Don’t worry, Sumeragi chan! We’ll protect you!”
They are now Sumeragi’s Guard. Even the person in question had a troubled smile on her face, saying, “Haha …….”
Suddenly, I noticed a look and turned my attention to the entrance of the classroom, where Himekane was standing. Her eyes met mine for a moment, but she quickly looked away and went somewhere else.
“…… Haa.”
This again.
It seems like since the incident the other day, I–no, me and Sumeragi are being avoided by Himekane.
Even if we run into each other in the hallway, when she notice us, she quickly turn on her heel and run away. Even if I try to call out to her and try to talk to her…
“A-Ahaha …… that’s right! I have something to do!”
And she immediately runs away. It was obvious that she was avoiding me. Sumeragi was also depressed at this, making a face like an emoticon.
“Well, I was the one who …… deceived her, so it can’t be helped.”
“Sumeragi …….”
“But it’s …… a little sad that it has to come to this.”
“……Well, yes.”
Besides, there is one other person besides Himekane who avoids us.
After school, when Sumeragi and I were walking side by side on our way home, this person always appeared…
“Shigenawa, are you there?”
It’s Shigenawa Tsukasa, the devil reflected in the curve mirror.
It seems she was stalking me and Sumeragi again today, hiding behind a telephone pole. When I called out to her, she appeared from the telephone pole and said, “I’m sorry!” and ran off.
“Oh, hey!”
I tried to run after her, but she was a fast runner, just like a stalker.
“She got away again, didn’t she?”
“That’s right.”
Following Himekane, Shigenawa has also been in such shape for the past few days. She continues to stalk, but she runs away as soon as we notices her.
I wanted to talk to her properly and understand what she was thinking, but at this rate there was no point in talking.
For the past few days, Sumeragi has been accompanying me on foot instead of commuting by bus as usual. At first, considering the danger of Sumeragi, I said, “I’ll talk to her alone,” but she refused, saying, “This is the seed I sowed.”
“I was hoping I could somehow talk to Tsukasa-chan. ……”
Her profile looked lonely as she said this.
“Well, there is still a chance. Let’s take our time.”
“You’re so patient”
“Well, I guess so. By the way, how are you feeling?”
“Well,…… I think I’m getting used to wearing skirts. I don’t feel nauseous anymore.”
“That’s great.”
Even though she is now able to attend school in a girl’s uniform, that doesn’t mean the trauma has gone away. As a result, she was often in poor health. However, Sumeragi thought that if she let this opportunity pass, she would never be able to wear a skirt again, so she continued to force herself to wear a skirt to school.
Partly because of this, she was able to wear skirts and live a normal life.
“You overcame your trauma. You did a great job.”
“Thanks to you. Because of you, …… I was able to regain myself.”
“That’s exactly right.”
“You’re not modest at times like this, are you?”
“Why don’t you take this opportunity to change how you call yourself? That’s the name you used when you were chasing Takumi’s shadow, isn’t it?”
“That’s true, but ……”
“Let’s say name in the first person. Something like, ‘Mikoto is hungry~’.”
“Are you making fun of me?…For me, I think it’s okay to leave it this way.”
“What’s that? What’s the reason why you don’t want to change it?”
“……… I feel like if I’m like that, I’ll be less of a character!”
“What are you worried about?”
“It’s important! If I’m like that, I’m not me! It’s a collapse of identity!”
“You’re that attached to the ‘boku’ attribute huh?”
“Well, not really, though…”
“Did you really need that?”
“What do you like ……, Tazuna kun?”
“I said your name”
“Anything but that!”
Even if you ask that
“How about something safe, like “Uchi,” or “Atashi”?”
“I (Watashi)…….”
“Oh, that doesn’t feel right, so just go with (Boku)”
She looked at me jitterily and said, “What is this guy?”
“I understand. Then I’ll us “Boku” as before.”
“I guess it feels better that way.”
“Actually, so do I.”
While we were having such a silly conversation, we came to the front of each other’s houses.
She looked up at her house and fell silent for a while. If there’s no goodbye, there must be something else she wants to talk about. Thinking so, I also looked up at my house.
Eventually, she murmured, “Tomorrow…….”
“I wonder if I can make up …… with the two of them.”
“I don’t know.”
“……Yeah. I’ve been cheating on the two of them. They have every right to be angry,…… and it’s not a matter of just apologizing,…… right?”
“Don’t push yourself so hard. It’s true that there were times when you were silent with the two of them. But that can’t be helped, right? People have a secret or two. Don’t worry about it”
“But you know what?”
“……”
I know that she is this kind of person. However, living a life of blaming yourself like this will only wear out your heart and eventually cause it to wear out and break.
I don’t want to see her like that.
“Bye…….”
“Yeah……”
I turned my back on her, who was still trying to say something, and opened the front door of my own house.
Make the three reconcile.
I promised myself that.
