His voice trembles, and his hands tremble with him. Even if the corners of my eyes became hot again, I continued to spit out words.“I bullied him… I don’t remember that, but… I said something cruel to him… He said that he was a liar, that he was a liar…” I don't remember, but maybe worse."Wow, he was a good guy... but something happened that caused me to fight and break up with him..." Right after that. That guy jumped off the roof."I can't think of any other reason. He was a peculiar person who was friendly and did nothing but do strange things, but everyone liked him. He wasn't harassed. His family environment was normal..." A guy like that, committing suicide... no reason to commit suicide. Other than the words I left out, it doesn't apply..."Worst of all, I wanted to forget about his suicide, so I kept running away from it. I never looked back, never visited his grave...all the time...and started working at that convenience store, Mr. Takenaka. I was able to see the same
I felt weird. Even though I'm asleep, for some reason I'm clearly conscious. But I can't feel my body. As if I was watching a movie, I was watching myself. That's me back then, high school me with undyed short hair and dull glasses. Wearing the uniform of the baseball club, he takes care of the ball alone on the bench. The ground is empty and the surroundings are dim. Most of the members have already left. it was. At that time, most of the guys had a girlfriend during their club activities, or skipped out on going to live performances. I was just running around without showing any interest. Even after my friends left, I remained on the ground for as long as time allowed. It's not that I'm trying to appeal that I'm a hard worker by forcing myself to stay. This time after club activities was a blissful time for me to calm down more than anything else. It's almost my daily routine to remove all the mud from the used ball and polish it to make it beautiful. I've been told many t
"Wow! Names under seniors are amazing! Cool!""- Ugh!?" Hyuga raised his voice right next to me, his eyes widening, as if he had taken out my student ID card."Give it back, you idiot!" If you try to catch it, it will lightly dodge and run away."It's a name that's so subdued that it's even better than the glitter names these days. Is it okay if I call you by that name from now on?""Call, bu, na!! Don't call me at all!!" I bared my teeth and barked like a demon. Yeah, I'm serious about this."Eh, it's cool""It's cool, isn't it! People often make fun of me for giving up my name! It's a name that doesn't have anything good to say!"Wow" Hyuga is smartly running away from my arms. As far as I know, there was no one better than this guy when it comes to running away and bad tricks. It doesn't match the appearance and it's a waste of time. When I'm done with that habit, I return it easily and apologize properly. Then it's a story of stealing people's things from the beginning.“Y
"He probably won't belong to anyone.""teeth?""What are you talking about?""Because that Hinata-chan, seniors, juniors, and people in the same club, it seems that he's been accused many times, but everyone's doing it in a roundabout way.""Heh. The guard is tight, that's why it's worth dropping.""Stop pervert""She said, 'I don't think I'm interested in dating at all because I'm having the most fun right now.'""Wow, what a pesticide-like word!""It's a waste, isn't it that high school girls are creatures that shine only when they're in love?""Hmm, if that's the case, then I thought those glasses were meant to avoid men! If you take them off, you're definitely a cute diamond in the rough!""Wow Nishimura""Well, there must be some kids like that, though they're pretty weird.""Even if you thrust in uselessly, you'll be shot down.""It's a pity... Hakamada, there's no need to pick up the bones.""I-I'm not sorry at all." Not interested in romance... huh? It certainly doesn't look
"Wow!? Hey, what are you doing, Hakamada!?" Unluckily, Kinoshita and the others showed up and saw him with Hinata. a--. Thinking that it's bad, it's already too late to return the bent waist immediately. The faces of Kinoshita, Nishimura, and Tanaka, who found me, couldn't be more grinning."Ah, no, this guy is--" There is no excuse. The three people surround us with unconcerned faces."What are you in a hurry? Hey! I searched all over and thought I found it in a place like this... and what's more, this girl is Hinata-chan!! After all, Masa didn't like Hinata-chan! !""Damn! Don't get excited, Nishimura!"“Because you were paying a lot of attention to Hinata-chan the other day!"It's useless to say good things, Hakamada.""a!?" Kinoshita made a shocking remark after Tanaka, who folded his arms and looked dumbfounded."Yeah, yeah, I just saw you trying to chew.""Huh!? Chew!?" My ears turned red when I said that word with my own mouth. No, no, no, no. 100% it is different."Mi
"Thank you very much for playing. It was fun." After that, I wandered around the school and the school festival ended abruptly. Guests are sent off one after another, and the school is rushed to clean up after themselves, and objects and decorations are quickly removed."We're going to be stared at by the executive committee, telling us to go back and clean up." That's right too. When I lifted my back off the wall I was leaning against and started walking down the hallway of the underclassmen's floor. A tearing scream erupted from the next classroom. We weren't the only ones who turned around in surprise, most of the students who were cleaning up on the spot looked at the classroom where the screams were emitted. Right after that――.“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~” Several female students jumped out of the classroom as if rolling. The girls who threw their
"Don't get angry anymore, I'll forgive you... It's not like everyone was making fun of you. Yeah... I understand how you feel, but... the festival is over. You're going home. I'll take you there." No good? No? What should I do then? ……No, that's no good. Hinata sits next to a female student and talks like he's having a conversation with someone, sometimes tilting his head as if he's in trouble and groaning."That's right... it makes me feel bad, I know. Hinata keeps rubbing his back. The female student's clenched fist gradually loosened."...Yeah, so that's fine? Okay, I'll burn it all... I promise." While saying that, he looked diagonally above the female student and nodded repeatedly. I could feel the temperature change in the classroom. When the female student's loose fist was fully opened, the lights flashed across the classroom. I no longer feel the strange chill. The window glass, which had been making a lot of noise, stopped ringing, and then the door was violently ope
after that--. Then it was--. Summer just started. The last summer of high school baseball. It ended without a moment's tears. National competition, qualifying. As a result, the first match was lost. A big margin, a literal crushing defeat. Looking back at his past records, he's never achieved anything like this. It was such a tough match. The director, the manager, the guys on the bench, the teammates...the people in the audience were all looking at the scoreboard as if they were looking at something hopeless. It's over. It was too short.... The summer that finally started, the last summer. In just one match... I watched with my fists clenched until I bled. The mound where the rain beats and your teammates scream and wipe away their tears. From a bench far away... I never thought it would end like this. It shouldn't have ended. It's not like I underestimated the other school. I knew that I could either win or lose. nevertheless. I was confident that it would never end. I
