When he saw a classmate being tangled up with three men near a station building, Shimomura Taiyo immediately went to her aid.
“I can’t help it, can I?…… Really”
I line up next to Taiyo.
“Kouki, you’re here.”
“I can’t help it. It’s been a while since we’ve done this.
I and Taiyo struck a fighting pose.
“What is it? you guys? Let’s go.”
The three of them backed off easily, as if they had decided they no longer had an advantage when it came down to three against two.
“What, are we done?”
I said.
“It’s over…… are you guys all right?’
Taiyo called out to the two girls.
“Um yeah. I’m fine…….I’m pretty sure we’re in the same class.”
The taller girl said
“You remembered me? I’m Shimomura Taiyou.”
“I’m Satouchi Yoko. And this is Mizusaki Yayoi.”
“Thank you, Taiyo kun. I am Mizusaki Yayoi.”
The three introduced themselves to each other. The one with long black hair was Satouchi-san, and the one with rounded eyes was Mizusaki-san.
I felt as if my presence had been forgotten, but it was as if Taiyo had saved the day, so it didn’t matter. I stood a little apart and watched the three of them.
Then Mizusaki-san looked at me.
“You are in the same class, aren’t you?”
“What? You can see me?”
“I-I can see you.”
“I see. I am Nagatsuki Kouki. I am his best friend in the same junior high school.”
“I see. We’re also in the same junior high school.”
“I see. Are you hurt?”
“No, I’m fine.”
I was relieved to hear that Satouchi and Mizusaki were safe.
“Then, let’s go.”
I say to Taiyo.
“Eh, I think we should stay by their side until they calm down. ……”
“You forgot why we came to this school, didn’t you?”
He helped people like this, got girls to fall in love with him, and that’s when the trouble started.
“Y-yeah. Sorry. We’re going.”
Taiyo says to the two girls.
“Yeah, we’re good.”
“See you tomorrow.”
“Yeah. Taiyo kun, see you tomorrow!”
“See you tomorrow, Taiyo-kun.”
I guess they can’t see me after all. I don’t feel lonely. I quickly walk to the station.
“Umm See you tomorrow, Nagatsuki kun!”
Mizusaki said to me as if it was an afterthought. Even if it was just an afterthought, I was still happy.
“Ou!”
I raised one hand and headed for the station.
Hnn? Taiyo was called by name, but I was called Nagatsuki. Well, that’s how it is.
◇◇◇
In junior high school, my best friend Shimomura Taiyo was the one who was popular and got into trouble. I, on the other hand, was in trouble, but I was never popular.
Taiyo was confessed to by many people, but he turned them all down, and in the end he never had a girlfriend. I don’t know why. And I don’t have a girlfriend either. No one confessed to me, and I didn’t confess either.
But there was a girl I liked. I thought she liked me too, but I was mistaken. After all, she only approached me because she liked Taiyou
The next morning, I remembered my junior high school days and warned Taiyo.
“Don’t get involved with those two.”
Yesterday, Mizusaki Yayoi and Satouchi Yoko were the most popular girls in the class. If you get involved with those two, you will get into trouble again, just like in junior high school.
“I know. I never actively participate.”
“You were there yesterday.”
“They were in trouble, so I had no choice. It’s not right not to help.”
“Haa……”
This guy has a strong sense of justice. That’s why he gets into trouble so easily. And then it’s up to me to clean up the mess. I’m worried about him. I’m not sure how many times in junior high school things would have gone wrong if I hadn’t acted.
I enter the classroom. Mizusaki and Satouchi seem to be the two most popular students. People were crowding around them. We sat down in our seats and tried to stay out of it. Then Mizusaki and Satouchi came over to us.
“Um, Taiyo-kun. Thank you for yesterday.”
“Thank you from me too.”
The two thanked Taiyo. I guess they can’t see me after all.
“No, it’s fine, you two go back to your seats.”
I said before Taiyo could say anything.
“Ah, Thank you, Nagatsuki.”
Mizusaki said, as if to add to my thanks.
“It’s okay. Come on.”
I pushed them back.
“Hey, Kouki, …….”
“It’s okay.”
I returned to my seat and took a breath.
Then I felt some eyes on me and turned around. There was Kamiyama Fumika looking at us. It was the same person from the same junior high school. I guess she must have wondered if we had done something wrong again.
I ignored Kamiyama’s gaze and looked forward.
