“So what’s this all about?”
When I was about to leave after school, Nagisa stood in my way.
She spreads her arms wide, blocking the way.
…Well, I guess I should just push through whatever this guy does, but she’s really weak.
“…I’ll listen to what you have to say, but this is the entrance to the classroom, so can you move out of the way? You’re getting in the way of everyone.”
“Yeah, okay.”
I put a stop because Mei looked worried.
It’s pathetic of me to be taken care of every time.
“So what?”
“Well, you see, I brought Nanami san with me.”
“…..Why? And who is she?”
“Hasegawa Nanami san. She said she wanted to apologize, so I brought you here.”
“I didn’t ask her full name, but…well, I sort of guessed it.”
That woman from the other day.
“This way.”
“Wait, where are you going?”
“Uh, science lab.”
“….Why the science lab?”
“Because.”
“…Oh, okay.”
Maybe Hasegawa is in the science club.
No, but why?
“I’m here.”
“Oh, thanks for the other day…..”
“O-oh…”
That’s funny, she’s puzzled too.
“N-Nagisa san said…..she’d make arrangements for me to apologize properly and asked me to stand over here.”
“Why are you standing next to a human body model?”
“Well, it’s just… it’s just sudden…”
“O-oh…”
What is this air?
And it smells like medicine in here.
“Here, read this.”
“E-erm, regarding today’s matter……?”
“Let me see that.”
“A-ah.”
It’s an extremely fancy notebook, Nagisa.
In it, written in distinctive, rounded handwriting, is a completely off-topic apology.
“…Hasegawa san, was it, just you?”
“Yeah, Nagisa san said it would be a nuisance if all of us came around like we did the other day.”
“…So does this mean that Nagisa thought about and acted on her own?”
“Yes ! I did it !”
“O-oh…”
Fine.
But, I see…Nagisa did it on her own initiative.
This guy has always relied on others and been influenced by others.
“You’ve really grown up, haven’t you?”
“I’m still the same 148 cm.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Your intelligence hasn’t changed, has it?
“Oh, um, I’m really sorry about the other day.”
“Well, I’ll let bygones be bygones as Nagisa grows up.”
I’m not that mad at her to begin with.
I’ll never forgive the girls from middle school who instigated her.
“But next time, be careful, you hear me?”
“Y-yes ! …..I’m really sorry.”
“That’s enough. Take good care of Nagisa, will you? Please? Just keep an eye on her, okay?”
“….I’ll try my best.”
“Seriously, do your best.”
Well, it seems impossible.
“I’m going home. It smells like drugs in here.”
“I know, right?”
“You’re in the science club, aren’t you? Isn’t this where they do it?”
“This is the first science lab. Club activities are held in the second science lab. It doesn’t smell as bad over there, and there are no human models like those in ghost stories.”
“Then why were you waiting here?”
“Even if you ask me….”
…Nagisa.
Well, I guess I’ll go home. I have to go back to the classroom for now.
“You guys were watching me?”
“Ehehe, sorry, I was worried.”
“Not like I was worried about you.”
“Yeah…..well, I’m sorry you had to see that.”
“…You’ve really come a long way, haven’t you?”
“Leave me be.”
“Ahaha, but I think it’s a good thing, don’t you?”
Yeah, I guess it is.
“I guess…..after what happened with your mother the other day?”
“Well, the doctor said it would get better with time.Also, I’m a man, so he said that if I had a physical advantage, my fear and difficulty would diminish.”
I’ve heard that’s not always the case.
But because I met her the other day, I know now that she’s no different than any of those women.
I’m already physically stronger than her, though I’m not going to resort to violence because of it.
“But you forgave her so easily, didn’t you?”
“Isn’t that how it’s usually done?”
“Well, I haven’t forgiven her, though?”
“…Ah, that’s right, that did happen.”
She’s the one Hoshizawa has been picking a fight with.
I had completely forgotten about it.
“Hoshizawa, you stand there for a minute.”
“Hah? What is it…?
“Hold it a little longer.”
I lightly low kicked Hoshizawa in the leg.
“Hey ! What the hell are you doing !”
“This is a clean slate.”
“….What are you, a kid? Are you nuts?”
“What are you smiling at?”
“You’re the one smiling, you creep.”
“I’m glad you two made up.”
“We didn’t make up.”
“Yes, you did.”
“For now, I’ll research the Seven Lucky Gods at the library.”
“You can find all that stuff on the Internet.”
“That’s why you failed the test.”
“You wanna say that again?”
“Fine by me.”
“Ahaha….”
I’ll have to check the costumes in storage.
