“Sen….pai”
Dozing off. In the midst of that, I hear a voice. It’s a weak voice that sounds terribly anxious, making my heart ache.
“It’s okay.”
I feel like I have to say that, so I open my mouth without thinking.
Gradually, my consciousness becomes clearer.
“…Um, good morning.”
It feels like I was having a very nostalgic dream. It was like when I was in middle school.
“Senpai! I’m so glad!”
Right in front of me, no, right in front of my eyes, was an incredibly beautiful face. Her eyelashes are so long, and her skin looks so smooth when I look at it like this.
My head is still foggy. What happened?
“Shiramine-san? Why are you crying?”
Tears were falling down her cheeks. There was something soft under the back of my head… Hmm, could it be?
“Just to be sure, am I currently in a lap pillow?”
“Yes. Objectively speaking, your current position is undoubtedly a lap pillow.”
“Oh, President. You were here.”
The president was leaning against the wall, looking at us.
What a picturesque person. Even in this storage room, just standing there, it feels like she’s stepped into a painting.
“Senpai! Your head! Does your head hurt? Are you okay?”
“Eh, um, are you insulting me?”
Like, are you okay in the head?
“Probably not. You were hit by a cardboard box that fell off that shelf earlier. You were protecting Shiramine-kun over there, right?”
“Hmm.”
Some of my memory is gone, but now that you mention it, the top of my head does feel a little sore.
“Well, Shiramine-kun. Could you open it a little?”
“What are you planning to do?”
Shiramine looked at Chairman Sanada, who was sitting next to her, with suspicion.
“It’s just a quick check. Don’t worry, I’m not going to eat you.”
“I understand. Senpai, I’ll bend my knees.”
“Okay. yoishotto”
Reluctantly, Shirayama moved away, and I sat up.
“Well…”
“Huh!?”
With a hand on my shoulder, Chairman Sanada leaned in close, her face coming closer.
She was just as beautiful as Shiramine Shiramine still had a touch of innocence, but the chairman was a fully grown woman. She was a real beauty.
“I’ll ask you a few questions. First, tell me your name and age.”
“My name is Hayami Ren. I’m 17 years old.”
Nodding in response to my words, the chairman held out her hand. Her fingers were long and slender, covered in black gloves.
“Okay, how many fingers do you see?”
“Two.”
“You don’t seem to remember the moment you hit your head, but do you know how you ended up here?”
“After school, Aoi sensei told me to stay behind, and since I used to be on the sports team, President Sanada said I should help out here… Is that right?”
That’s how I remember it.
“That’s correct. Your consciousness seems fine. It’s probably just a mild concussion. Yeah.”
As the president finished her diagnosis, I heard a commotion coming from the hallway.
“Hayami hit his head!?”
The sliding door opened with such force that it almost came off its hinges, and Aoi sens iappeared.
“Hey, Aoi sensei”
At the same time, President Sanada stood up and smiled brightly.
“Hey, no! You! You didn’t do something mischievous again, did you!?”
“That’s unfair. I wouldn’t do such a thing. I think you should trust me a little more, Aoi-san.”
They seem to be on very friendly terms. More like friends than teacher and student.
“Hayami! Are you okay!?”
“Eh, ah, yes.”
“What about Shiramine?”
“I’m fine too.”
Shiramine glanced over here for a moment before answering.
“Probably a mild concussion. You should get it checked out at the hospital just in case. There’s also a possibility you might have a neck sprain. After all, the head is a scary thing.”
“I hate to listen to you, but that sounds like a good idea. Alright, I’ll get the car ready! Hayami! Come on!”
“H-heee”
“Can I come along too?”
Shiramine said. Her expression was still dark and gloomy.
“Sure. Bring your stuff and meet me at the back gate.”
I got into the doctor’s car, led by Shiramine
When we got to the hospital, an elderly doctor put me in some weird tube-like device and shined a light in my eyes to check me out.
However, as the chairman had predicted, it was just a mild concussion. Fortunately, there were no other injuries.
“Phew, that’s a relief.”
I sat on a chair in the waiting room and waited to be called. All that was left was to pay the bill.
“Senpai… I’m sorry. It’s my fault.”
“No, no, I’m really glad it was me who got hurt. I’m tougher than I look.”
It was a lie to ease Shiramine’s worries, but in reality, it was worse when I blocked Aota’s powerful shot with my face.
“…What would you like in return?”
“Huh?”
“You helped me once, so this is my way of repaying you.”
My heart skipped a beat. I’m a teenage boy, so of course I thought about something a little naughty.
“Then, next time, let me eat something other than omelet rice. I think Shiramine-san can probably make anything if she learns how to make it.”
“…I-Is that really okay?”
“What did you think I was going to ask for?”
“Well, something naughty…”
Really? Maybe Shiramine is actually a prude. She’s a real little devil.
“Hey, Hayami. I can’t get in touch with your parents…”
Aoi sensei, who had gone outside to make a call, returned.
“Ah, my parents are overseas right now, so they can’t come anyway.”
“Huh!? Then, is there anyone else?”
“What about senpai’s older sister?”
“Hmm, I personally don’t like it though…”
This wasn’t the time to be saying such things.
When I gave Aoi sensei my sister’s phone number, she hurriedly went outside to make another call.
After settling the bill and waiting for a while,
“Ren, did you hit your head? Did you get a bump?”
My cheerful older sister, Hayami Ajisai arrived.
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault…”
Shiramine bowed apologetically.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Hey, protecting a girl and getting hurt like that is kind of cool, isn’t it?”
“Thanks.”
This gir; must be drunk.
“Um, I’m very sorry for this time.”
Following Shiramine, Aoi sensei also bowed his head. Being a teacher is tough. Having to bow to such a sister…
“Don’t worry about it, sensei. This guy used to play soccer, so his head is pretty tough.”
“No, that’s not how it works…”
“No, it’s okay. Come on, let’s go home. I’m not a monster. I’ll forgive you for not cooking dinner today. I want to eat pizza. Oh, do you want to eat too, Hisui chan? And you too, teacher, if you want.”
“You just want to eat it yourself, don’t you?”
After being disrupted by my sister’s laid-back attitude the whole time, we headed home.
Since I hit my head, I was told to take tomorrow off from school.
To be honest, I don’t remember much after that. I took a bath and went to sleep right away.
And then, the next day around noon.
Around 11 o’clock, the intercom rang. When I opened the door, there she was.
“Um, good morning. So, what about school?”
I opened the door and smiled bitterly.
“Good morning, senpai. I skipped school.”
For some reason, Shiramine was visiting my house in her casual clothes. Plus, she was carrying a big plastic bag that looked heavy.
