I asked Kamiyama something that had been bothering me for some time.
“You, it’s not a coincidence that we went to the same high school.”
“W-why? ……”
“Because there are so many different high schools far away from our middle school, how could we end up in the same high school? I don’t think it’s a coincidence.”
“Because ……”
“Fumika, talk to me. I’ve been wondering about that too. Besides, any answer won’t change my mind.”
Taiyo said.
“Okay, okay. I’ll tell you. …… Yes. It’s no coincidence.”
Kamiyama readily admitted.
“I knew it. ……”
“But it was really by chance that I found out where Taiyo-kun was going to school. I just happened to be in the staff room at the time.”
I see, the first time we told the teacher where we were going to school was verbally in the staff room. At that time, I had not yet made a definite decision, and I was feeling light-headed. Come to think of it, that teacher had a loud voice.
“So I decided to take the entrance exam there. I was crazy about Taiyo-kun at that time anyway. But after a while, I realized that there was no way I could go out with him, and I had nothing but regrets. I took the entrance exam because I had no choice.”
“I didn’t know that.”
“Yes, I thought about turning it down, but in the end this was the only place I could get accepted. But it is true that I had given up on Taiyo-kun. That’s why I didn’t talk to you guys.”
“That’s right, I was the one who spoke to you.”
Taiyo asked Kamiyama, who was alone, to have lunch with him.
“Yes, I really wasn’t sure what to do then. Of course, I wanted to talk to Taiyo-kun. But then I would have known the reality. Maybe it would be better to watch from afar as I did in junior high school. I couldn’t make the decision on my own, so I left everything to Nagatsuki.”
If you really want to eat with me, I will. Kamiyama said that
“That time I was really pissed off.”
“That’s right. I was unfair that time. I thought I would regret it if I refused. I wanted to make it look like I refused you guys. So I said that. I didn’t think Nagatsuki would say such a thing.”
“I wasn’t sure about it at the time. I was also lost at that time. I had my pride. But I couldn’t leave Kamiyama alone at that time. I thought about what I would have done if I had been in that situation. So I let go of my pride.”
“I was surprised, totally. …… I couldn’t say no if he said so, and I had to go. But now I’m grateful. Thank you, Nagatsuki, for saving my life back then.”
Kamiyama Fumika bowed her head to me.
“Y-you …… stop it. It’s going to rain heavily tomorrow.”
“Fufu, maybe so. But I really appreciate it. I didn’t think at the time that it would end up like this.”
“I’m grateful to you too, Kouki.”
Taiyo said.
“I couldn’t talk to Fumika even though I knew she was in the same class as me. I was afraid. I was afraid of being rejected. But because Nagatsuki was always concerned about Kamiyama, I had the courage to go to her that time. And now we are here because Koki said he wanted to eat with you. I’m grateful to you too, Kouki.”
“Oh, no, don’t do that. I wonder what’s going on today. ……”
“Well, Kouki, you’re everyone’s Cupid, aren’t you?”
“Is that so?”
“But when it comes to yourself, you’re a complete mess. You should be firm.”
Kamiyama said.
“I know, I know. I’ll do something about it.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
I have to do my best to take care of myself.
