Mr. Hirai looks really happy.

 No, I'm completely left out.

 I could only smile wryly at Mr. Hirai, who had a relaxed tone, but apparently something had switched on.

 After a while, Mr. Hirai suddenly came to his senses and shyly placed his hands behind his head.

"I'm sorry, I'm so hot, I don't want to be friends with you today."

 After apologizing to me, she calmed down.

 surprised.

 It was exactly as Aoyama-san said.

 But recently my little sister uses nothing but incomprehensible words, is this unexpectedly normal for children these days?

 Customers still don't come.

 It's boring to have nothing to do but have a proper conversation.

 It's not easy to get paid just for casual conversations.

“Does Hakamada-kun have a part-time job outside of this place?”

 This time Mr. Hirai brought up the topic.

“Before, I used to work three jobs, including dispatch, but now it’s just this. Late nights are tough if you don’t get used to them, so I’m thinking about looking for a daytime part-time job once I get used to it. hey"

"There are four of us, so it's a little tight, but if a few more people come in, things will stabilize."

"That's right."

“But Hakamada-kun is amazing.

"Eh, seriously?"

 It's been almost a week since I started this part-time job.

 According to the store manager, the easiest period for newcomers to quit is around one week.

 I'm about to break through that period soon, so it seems that other part-timers and part-timers have been talking about it.

 So far, I haven't had a terrible experience that made me cry, and there were certainly strange things.

 As I expected, I won't quit in a week.

"I don't think it's that great."

"No, no, it's amazing enough, as expected of the newcomer that the store manager said!"

 Hey, hey, store manager... I beg you, please don't go around touching this and that in places I don't know.

"Speaking of which, what about Mr. Hirai?"

"yes?"

"Is Hirai-san doing something else?"

"Ah, especially for me, ah, but for side jobs."

"A side job? It's like doing it steadily, but there are many people who are cheap even if they work hard."

"Ah, no. It's quite profitable."

"Is that so?"

“Yeah, there are two times a year, in summer and winter, and we publish manga and novels there.”

 ....... Is it a bazaar?

"It's similar to the bazaar, but it's limited to manga and novels. Ah, you make it yourself."

"On your own? Do you draw manga? Eh... Amazing, novels too! Eh! Like publishing?!"

"I'm not that famous, but well."

“Is Mr. Hirai a writer?

"If you're a writer, you're just a 'thin book' craftsman."

""Thin book"……?"

 A question mark floated above my head at the words that were said with a smile.

 Words that sound like something I've heard somewhere before.

 What is a thin book...?

"Those thin books? Twice a year they sell them."

“Yes, recently the number of readers has increased and it sells quite well.”

"That's right. Huh, it's amazing that you can draw manga. What kind of things do you draw and sell?"

 I didn't realize it then.

 Hirai-san wasn't just an anime-loving big-breasted loli.

“Would you like me to tell you?

"okay?"

“Yeah! Hakamada-kun, you should be my reader too!”

 At that time, Mr. Hirai seemed very happy for some reason.

 ◆◆◆

 Time flows slowly as usual.

 Hirai-san didn't make a fuss like a high school girl, but she was quiet, but she never shut up.

 As always until here.

 At around 3:00 pm, the garbage was collected once, and the outside garbage was also collected and it was decided to go to the back dumping area, so when I took the initiative to go outside, Mr. Hirai smiled. He called me back and quickly took the garbage I had gathered outside when I said I would go.

 I didn't think it was weird there.

"Sorry"

"Okay, okay, don't worry about it. And..."

 When I said apologetically to Mr. Hirai who had returned, Mr. Hirai laughed and told me not to worry about it.

“It looks like he’s hanging around in front of the store right now.

    "……Huh……?" I am at a loss for words with a half-smile. What Mr. Hirai said was too incomprehensible. When I asked him what he was talking about. Mr. Hirai, who returned to the counter, was right next to me before I knew it. When you say "nearby", you might think how long it will be. It was really close."Wear!?" I don't know what I was confused about, but it stuck to my waist. Mr. Hirai is staring at me. Or rather, on my arm, mu, mu, mu, mu, mu, mu! It hits my chest, Mr. Hirai! ? What is it? What do you mean! ?"Uh-huh" Open your big eyes and stare. Mr. Hirai didn't move. I'm like a sculpture and can't move. But my chest, um, my chest! It's hitting my right arm...! Mr. Hirai! ! Eh, really this. What is this, what should I do? Are you inviting me? You can't do anything. There are security cameras on the ceiling! ?

Do you think you can see me? So easy. My feelings of suspicion about Mr. Hirai had already been read by her before I could express them. You know. Absolutely what I thought was impossible. However, I suddenly thought at the same time as I was suspicious. Isn't it a bit strange that you're holding out your hand with such an imposing look on my suspicion? If it's a guy who's lying and lining up bullshit, he should be vaguely deceiving me, and if I provide the evidence, he should be fooling around. But Mr. Hirai. Without doing such a thing, I'm showing off the leeway that I have evidence. Words that are firm and don't make you feel blurry and confident eyes. Between Mr. Hirai's outstretched hand and mine, I felt as if there was a line of demarcation that no one could ever touch... My thro

    The scratch marks that were clearly visible on my neck were completely gone the next day.scabscabI didn't see one there. In front of the mirror in my bathroom, I had an irresistibly stupid face, but it couldn't be helped. I certainly saw it with my own eyes. In the restroom of the convenience store, there was a painful scar on my neck, as if I had scratched it with all my strength. I don't know why, but after washing my face this morning, I looked in the mirror to see how it was, and there was no trace of it. It wasn't really swollen or anything like that, nothing. This is ridiculous. It's obviously weird. Or rather, before the scars on my neck disappeared, I had an experience that was hard to describe in words. What was that? For some reason, Hirai-san came halfway through and I was relieved from some unknown pain, but if Hirai-san didn't show up, I would be the same. what happened I didn't think much about it until now, but since I started working part-time at a convenie

     Let's stop... Seeing that far, I clicked the X mark in the upper right corner of the screen and closed the page. It seems that the writing continued after that, but I didn't feel like reading it all. I can't see the faces of the posts on the internet, and I can say whatever I want to say, and I've seen it in the posts, but it's stupid to believe. What do you get when you see that? Turn on the fan, pull one out of the cigarette box on the desk and light it. I wonder if I've become a summer heat exhaustion, but my body hasn't been feeling well lately. Well, since I started the night shift, the day and night are reversed, it's normal to get sick. I'm getting plenty of sleep, but even with that, my whole body feels sluggish. If I go tomorrow, it will be a week since I worked at that convenience store. And finally, the first meeting with the rumored Mr. Takenaka. It's not that I'm nervous, but somehow I'm afraid to meet Mr. Takenaka. I wonder if something will happen during the p

    "Well, then. See you later." Mr. Nagase went up, and after that the manager left the store with a somewhat worried look on his face. There were four customers in the store, two uncles with worn-out suits and worn-out faces browsing the magazine corner. An office worker and a young woman in plain clothes go back and forth to the bread and sweets corner with a wallet in hand. Mr. Takenaka stood by at the register on the left near the door, and I said. I was standing at the cash register to the right with both nostrils stuffed with tissues. not embarrassing. Nothing to it. Of course it's decidedly embarrassing. What kind of convenience store has a clerk who stuffs both nostrils with tissues? ...I'm actually here. It's me When I was stopping the bleeding in the back room, for some reason it ended up coming out of the hole that wasn't coming out due to the time difference, and in the end it didn't stop completely and I stuffed both holes with finely shredded tissues.

Without rowing the boat, Mr. Takenaka was sleeping while standing in front of the cash register. What is this person? It has a good sense of stability. I wonder if I should wake him up."Oh" Shake your shoulders a little. Oh... don't wake up. The raccoon dog isn't asleep, are you really falling asleep while standing up? ? No, it's interesting, so leave it as it is. I was a little nervous, but after staring at Mr. Takenaka, I decided to let him take a break. Even guests would wake up. Besides, no matter how much free time you have, how about sleeping during your part-time job? I'll leave it alone Just smoke a cigarette and come back and wake me up, this is it. In return for the door issue earlier. I stepped into the back room, and while I was watching Mr. Takenaka, I sat down on a slightly dirty round chair

     Anyone would be surprised. If something suddenly falls in a quiet space, even though no one is there and no one is touching it. Weird things are happening tonight. Or am I just tired? It was the cup noodles on the display shelf in the middle that fell. Almost the same location as where that figure was. When I thought about it, I had a really bad feeling about it, but I couldn't pretend to be ignorant, so I went out from the counter to pick up some cup noodles. I checked the display shelf, but nothing seemed unusual, and I had no idea why it had fallen. ...it's creepy. I timidly picked up the dropped cup noodles and tried to put them back on the shelf."Wh..." Feeling slimy. Surprised, I let go of the cup noodles. my left hand.

She seemed satisfied at last, and she was relieved. I never thought I would tell this story from beginning to end... I remember that horrifyingly. A strange and unusual story that I experienced in the summer of my 25th year that I will never forget. I've been telling this story over and over again to my lovely students who are members of the baseball club. It all started on the night of the summer training camp, when we were talking about ghost stories. Even though my way of speaking and the content of the story are scary, they are very popular with Chubo who loves such stories. As a result, the annual big event of the summer training camp has become the rule of "Direc

While being carried in a wheelchair and being swayed in various directions. I turned around there. Hinata--. I stare at the grave of the Hyuga family, where the smoke of incense still rises, as it recedes. Hinata is nowhere to be seen. There is incense smoke and a bouquet of flowers... Hinata is no more. The cemetery is still empty, and the fallen leaves are blowing in the wind. Seeing that, a particularly strong tailwind swallowed me who felt a little lonely. I felt like that was encouragement from him. I put the feeling of being pulled back in my heart. I tell myself that from this moment on, I will also set off on a new path."Abayo, Hinata" I slowly turned my face forward and muttered. --Abayo, Senpai--. Yes, I heard it from somewhere. I felt

    The trees around the cemetery have turned red and the leaves are slowly falling. Overhead, countless red dragonflies fly here and there, seemingly busy searching for their destined partner. The lingering summer heat has passed, and the season is already dyed in autumn colors. The red dot-patterned blanket on her lap is my sister's personal item. If a man asks his mother how he can use such a woman. I was pushed through with a single point of insistence, just use it and run it. Even though it's not that cold yet, it's too much of an exaggeration to go outside. At the end of the day, she recommended me a woolen hat and a warmer."It doesn't look like this, does it? I'll tell you, it's not mine." The person I talked to was Hinata... not the tombstone of the Hinata family."I came to thank you, I'm late... I'm sorry...

    "Thank you very much, Mr. Takenaka. It was a short time, but I'm really glad that I was able to work with Mr. and Mrs. Takenaka at that convenience store." I feel like my life has changed drastically. Even in a bad way. In a good way.“I have bad memories, and my body has become inconvenient.” I'm living like this thanks to everyone's help. And I couldn't be more impressed. I just somehow managed to live for 25 years. After 25 years, I finally realized something obvious that I should have noticed. When I realized that, I couldn't stop crying because I didn't know if it was frustrating or happy. Now I can feel from the bottom of my heart that I'm glad I noticed. I was valued by those around me more than I thought. And I, who thought that I just existed, was helpless, a weak creature that could not live without the support of those around me. And now I can feel gratitude for that support. In other words, what I'm trying to say is... everyone, everyone is "not alone", I guess.

     Ayame, who was listening to Mr. Takenaka's proposal, did not know that the method would work, and furthermore, he would have to bear a considerable risk to make it work. I arrived at my alma mater before the sun even rose, and sneaked into the old school building. Saying that every minute is a race, he even broke the key soberly. The rooftop of a deserted old school building. Even without summoning him, Hinata appeared there with a frightening atmosphere. Lost what it used to be, now turning into an evil spirit that only tries to drag people to death."Even if it's only for a few years, if you stay in one place for a long time, your soul will be defiled and you'll become something terrible.

I felt a faint light on my eyelids, and a certain weight around my lower body. I woke up Really, this time. I lifted my eyelids and stood still for a few moments, wondering again and again. The wind that feels like a swaying curtain, the voice of cicadas, and above all, the sun that I haven't seen in a long time. I was 80% convinced that this was real, but I still couldn't let my guard down. Because.... A man in a suspicious suit, who must have been there before I opened my eyes, is sitting majestically around my lower body, and has been gesticulating and chatting with his mobile phone for a while now. Am I still having a strange dream, or should I say, this place is... More importantly, am I still alive?"So it's okay now, you don't have to come over here Akane--. It's solved.

     After that, Hinata fell silent for a while, then lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes apologetically.“It’s not murder or bullying. It's just a little... I just screwed up.』"What does that mean?""Well, it's embarrassing to start talking about it." Even when I tell him not to play around, Hinata only covers it up and doesn't give a clear reason."Like I said earlier, I don't have much time... so could you please save this story for another time, for the sake of my face?" Stick your tongue out from the corner of your mouth and play around. Do you think I'll agree with that?“Besides that, I have to apologize to my seniors. Because I died in such a way...

With joy and a sense of guilt that transcends it, I grabbed the little Hinata by the shoulders."Whatever you say, it's too late..." I spit it out as if telling myself.

People often say that when they die, they get a glimpse of the sum of their lives, such as a revolving lantern, but that kind of thing didn't regenerate in me. Head to toe, mouth, nose, ears. Up to the holes in the whole body. Everything was filled with despair. Consciousness falls into the bottomless abyss. I felt my life run out. Right after that.
