The day after a lot happened.
“……”
The sky is blue as I look up from a bench in the corner of the schoolyard.
Right now, I’m alone.
No, I was always alone.
No, that’s not what I mean.
I just wanted to be alone, so I ran all the way here.
“Ah ! I found Tsuchie !”
“…Damn, Aina and Kotone…. Why did you guys come…?”
“Hey there ! Tsuchie, thanks for your hard work yesterday.”
“….Did you come here to laugh at me?”
“No, we didn’t !”
“Yeah, yeah, it was cool, wasn’t it !”
They are saying things that I don’t even know what they are talking about.
“Go away, I want to be alone… Hey, don’t sit on both sides, this is my bench.”
“It’s a school bench, funny.”
“No way, let’s sandwich him between the two of us so he doesn’t escape.”
“….So nosy, you’re probably here to make fun of me for what I did yesterday.”
I was the one who got carried away, my high school life was going better than I expected, and I was getting too cocky.
“Well…your timing may have been a bit off yesterday though.”
“After Tsuchie and the others left, Hinachi were over here calming Kusakabe san down and keeping everything together.”
“She said she’d make Ota write a letter of remorse.”
“Yes, yes, everything seemed to be settled.”
“Aaaaaahhh…”
That’s right, even if I hadn’t done anything, Mei would have managed it somehow.
I’m sure Mei would have done something about it.
“Ohhhh…I’m ahhh…”
“He’s writhing in agony.”
“It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
“Yeah, yeah, it’s just that…you were so cool…”
“Yeah, yeah, it feels like youth…thrill?”
“Don’t give me that bad comforting talk…”
“Eh, but that was seriously cool ! After saying something like that.”
“Don’t you dare…”
Aaaaaaaaaaah ! ! !
My sense of shame is being gouged….
Yesterday, I was completely ahead of myself.
I’m so embarrassed, if there was a hole, I’d want to go in it.
“Tsuchie covering his face with his hands.”
“That’s rare.”
“Leave me be…”
“Oh, my God, he’s so cute.”
“Tsuchie, you’re not mad at me for getting so close to you today?”
“You’re always telling me to move at least 5 feet.”
“It was really hard.”
“I don’t care anymore….I don’t even have the right to tell you what to do….”
“You’re really getting weak.”
“Oh, maybe I can touch him now….! Let me hold your hand ! It’s fine, see? So warm. Ehehe…..”
“Oh that’s not fair, then I’ll pat his head, there you go…..ufufu”
“….Haa, so depressing.”
“You’re amazing, Tsuchie.”
“Yeah, yeah, you’re so cool.
“Good job, Tsuchie, good job.”
“Do whatever you want with me…”
It was depressing, but I couldn’t muster the energy to shake it off….
I guess I’ll just skip my afternoon classes and go home…
“Haa…what are you guys doing taking advantage of people’s weaknesses?”
“Geh, Serena…t-this is ahahaha……”
I”W-we were just consoling Tsuchie for a bit…um…”
“Look, I don’t really care. But Mei is glaring from over there.”
“Eh? Ah…crap….”
“Hee, what’s that thing coming out of her eyes?”
“Mei’s gonna kill us…”
“Look, before she really kills you, apologize quickly.”
“O-okay, we’re sorry, Tsuchie, see you later !”
“I’m sorry ! Let’s hang next time !”
I saw Mei on the other side of the schoolyard.
It’s not Mei’s fault that I’ve been running around aimlessly, but she’s been paying attention to me since this morning…huh? She seems really murderous.
What’s going on?
“….So, what’s Hoshizawa doing here?”
“Nothing?”
Hoshizawa crouched down in front of me and was drinking a pack of blueberry juice with a sizzling sound.
“….Pfft, that’s hilarious.”
“You bitch…”
I’m going to beat this bitch, even if I have to stab her in the back.
“Once you’re feeling better, come back quickly. Mei misses you.”
“…I ended up doing something unnecessary.”
“It wasn’t unnecessary. Mei was happy.”
“…..Is that so?”
“Yes, and look…here he is.”
“What…is that Ota?”
He runs at a great speed.
“Ooooh ! Tsukasa kun ! ! !”
“Whoa ! Hey, stop right there ! !”
“You don’t have anything to do today, do you? Let’s go home, drink Pepsi and play Smash !”
“No, I’m sorry, but I can’t today. I’ve got stuff to do with my sister.”
“I see…I guess it can’t be helped. Oh, hey Hoshizawa san !”
“Did you write your reflection?”
“I just got it done !”
Ota’s mood has changed a lot…or is it too much?
“If you’re done with your business, go.”
“Yes, ma’am ! Let’s play next time, Tsukasa kun !”
“Oh, okay.”
“And….thank you so much !”
“…..Oh.”
…He’s gone, but still as noisy as ever.
“…..Well, Mei alone wouldn’t have made Ota like that, would she?”
“I doubt it.”
“Thanks to you.”
“Maybe.”
“And I’m glad it’s you.”
“…..I see.”
“Yeah, that’s why…it’s okay.”
“…..Yeah, yeah.”
Let’s go back to Mei’s place.
