The next day. Lunch hour.
“…”
I was lying on the floor helplessly, doing nothing.
It was the same as usual.
I didn’t want to do anything or even think about it.
I was too lethargic to do anything, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt only loneliness and embarrassment.
So…
Just, it was best to stay still like this.
“……”
Let’s go to sleep.
How much time has passed like that?
It was just when I was about to fall asleep.
“…?”
I felt a presence in front of me.
Then pretending to be popular.
“…”
Well, it was obvious. It must be one of the Bona Mana boys.
This is how they come when they want to flirt with me, a beautiful girl.
I don’t know how many times this has happened. It’s pathetic.
I didn’t want to deal with him like that, so I lay down pretending not to know, and the owner of the person in front of me started to open his mouth.
And then I heard a clear voice. This… Wasn’t a boy’s voice I thought it was, but a girl’s.
…I’ve never heard of that before.
The voice of a transfer student.
“Najimi-chan, why don’t we go to the store together?”
“Huh..?”
And that day, I was saved.
***
From that day on, I am Yoji-chan. No, now I’m hanging out with Inazuke-chan.
Iinazuke-chan was a really nice kid.
Although unlike my first impression, he was not a child like a child who had to be protected because he did not know how to live in the world, but he was smart, humble enough to the extent that he didn’t know he was pretty and popular, and he showed consideration and dignity in every action. It was a feeling child.
She’s such a great kid that I wonder if she can go out with me.
I went around with such a child, and even though I felt a little inferiority complex, I was just happy.
And accordingly, the evaluation of Shujinkoo Haiseki, who had a childhood friend with this child, began to change little by little.
In addition to the thought that he himself would not be a bad kid because he was able to make a childhood friend with such a wonderful child, after taking away the appearance he had before, Shujinkoo Haiseki. Little by little he began to admit that there was a misunderstanding about the child.
And these thoughts were further accelerated by Shujinkoo’s praise that Iinazuke-chan would occasionally listen to.
And now, after so many days, I finally admitted my misunderstanding about him.
I came to admit that I was right in misunderstanding him based on his appearance.
It was a really long misunderstanding.
But I didn’t feel like apologizing. It was wrong for him to look like that, and it was my fault for misunderstanding, so shouldn’t we be teachers and teachers?
Someone might see me like this and call me shameless.
But behold, looking at his appearance, anyone can misunderstand…
“…”
Oh…
That guy… Did he look like that?
“…”
Something… I felt strange.
…Feels like something is peeling off.
The feeling that the world you see is changing.
…And then I thought.
“…That guy.”
I thought he was handsome…
“…”
I didn’t know why…
It’s strange…
It’s strange…
Why do I…
I don’t know…
***
And.
It must have been from that day.
“Najimi-chan! Let’s go home!”
“hahahaha! Momo-chan, stop licking!”
“Then see you tomorrow, Najimi-chan!”
“…”
Haruta-kun is starting to look normal.
And it started to get boring.
***
The morning of the second day dawned.
As always, I arrived in front of Haruta-kun’s house.
Haruta-kun doesn’t show up even though it’s time for the appointment.
It will probably still take a little longer for Haruta-kun to appear.
It was as usual.
But.
Before, I was always looking forward to this time of waiting and was excited…
Strangely, it wasn’t like that today.
“…”
It was strange.
***
About five minutes later, Haruta-kun came out in front of the house.
As always, Hina-chan follows Haruta-kun to the front door.
Hina-chan gets grumpy when she sees me, and as she always does, “Huh!” And turned her head.
Seeing Hina-chan like that, I too am reflexively excited! And turned his head.
Then the argument with Hina-chan begins.
“…”
Oh…
I fought reflexively today, but… I started not understanding why I had been doing these things.
…It was childish and insignificant.
***
I have arrived at the classroom.
Shujinkoo Haiseki seen from afar.
“…”
It was the same as it was yesterday.
He is handsome.
You didn’t even look at me…
Still, it didn’t matter.
***
After the ceremony. Way home.
As always, I was walking towards home with Haruta-kun.
As I was talking to you, Haruta-kun was hesitant and stroking the back of my head.
“…”
I’m sorry, but I looked a little pathetic.
***
The morning of the first day of school in the forest has dawned.
Today, I was standing in front of Haruta-kun’s house with a suitcase full of things I had packed since yesterday.
Haruta-kun doesn’t show up even when it’s time for the appointment.
“…”
I was a little annoyed, but decided to wait.
***
Haruta-kun came out.
And today, too, Hina-chan, looking at me and saying “Hey!”
“…”
Recently, I haven’t responded to Hina-chan one by one.
It was because I started not understanding why I was fighting like this over Haruta-kun.
…It was strange. It felt like something was cooling.
***
I arrived at the academy playground.
My heart fluttered at the thought of seeing my friends after a long time after Golden Week.
As I was looking for the children to quickly meet and greet my friends, someone suddenly caught my eye.
“…”
The first person that caught my eye was Shujinkoo Haiseki.
…That handsome figure caught my attention.
Before, I thought it was because I hated him so much that I stood out…
“…”
I guess that wasn’t the case.
From noble mtl dot com
As if Haruta-kun also found Shujinkoo Haiseki, he approached the child.
And the two of them saying hello.
Looking at the two of them standing side by side…
I really couldn’t help but be able to compare.
“…”
Obviously Haruta-kun looked better before…
It was strange.
***
The day at the forest school passed and the second day came.
“…”
Now I was taking a test of courage with Haruta-kun.
The image of Haruta trembling little by little even though he was told to believe only in himself.
…It was pathetic.
“……”
I suddenly started not understanding why I liked Haruta-kun.
No matter how much I thought about it, it was because I had no reason to like Haruta-kun.
That should be the case, wouldn’t ordinary Haruta-kun and me, a beautiful girl, be on the wrong level?
If you want to get along with me… Yeah, it should be Shujinkoo Haiseki.
So there must have been some special motive…
Ah, yes… There was an incident like that when I was young.
The moment the other kids tried to bully me, Haruta-kun helped me and defeated them.
Yes, Haruta-kun at that time was like a prince on a white horse who came to rescue me.
It was a childish idea now, but it still felt cool.
Even now, thinking about that time brings a smile to my face.
“…”
But my smile slowly returned to normal.
And the expressionless expression built up.
…I don’t know why.
But…
…Right now, Haruta-kun doesn’t feel cool.
“…”
I felt that something that remained, albeit faintly, in my heart was turning off.
***
How long has it been since you started walking like that?
Took-
“? Najimi-chan. Something upstairs-.”
Toduk-
Tududuk-
Tududuk-
It started to rain little by little.
“Eh! Najimi-chan, it looks like it’s about to rain? What should I do? It seems like going back would be a little quicker.”
“…Let’s just go back.”
“Huh? Uh… Then! Najimi-chan.”
Something like a test of courage. Are you stupid in the first place?
Don’t waste time and go back quickly to rest.
***
“Huh? Guys!”
Fortunately, I met the teacher on the way back.
A teacher who puts an umbrella over you with the word luck.
The umbrella started to cover my head and it started to rain heavily.
It was fortunate.
After that, as I walked steadily with the teacher, I began to see the forest school building.
It is a bright place unlike the dark outside.
And as I got closer to the entrance, I began to see a figure at the entrance.
The identity of that figure is Shujinkoo Haiseki.
When he saw us, he ran over and asked Haruta-kun in bewilderment.
“Toyoda! Haven’t you seen Morish*ta Sakura?”
“Eh? Who is that, Shujinko?”
Shujinkoo Haiseki seemed even more flustered at Haruta-kun’s statement that he didn’t know.
Hearing Haruta-kun’s answer, he pondered for a while, grabbed an umbrella, and ran outside.
It really happened in an instant.
Seeing that, the teacher shouted at him not to go because it was dangerous, but he didn’t care and just disappeared somewhere.
***
I remained inside the entrance with Haruta-kun, waiting for Shujinkoo Haiseki.
Haruta-kun was worried about him, unable to stay still for even a moment.
On the other hand, I wasn’t that anxious, but even if I wanted to go to rest now, it was happening right in front of my eyes, so I was still worried and couldn’t help it.
“…”
The rain started getting stronger.
***
How many minutes had passed since I was waiting with Haruta-kun like that?
Iinazuke-chan must have heard of this as well, so he came out of the inn to the entrance and started waiting for Shujinkoo Haiseki.
Even if she doesn’t show it, she looks a bit anxious.
Unlike usual, she wasn’t even smiling.
I could sense right away that she was worried about him.
And.
“…”
It was filled with heavy rain that made it impossible to see an inch ahead outside.
