"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
I think the screams that made my eardrums go numb probably echoed all the way to the ground. This was the last time I saw that expression on Hinata's face. Misaligned glasses, turbulent breath. I was also out of breath from ranting a lot, but it wasn't as bad as Hinata. Hinata shouted out loud without warning, and now I'm at a loss for words. With a frustrated look on his face, he desperately grabbed my arm and pulled. Its power is so strong that you wouldn't expect it to be a girl, and its thin fingers dig into my skin."I can't put it into words well... but this is not a lie!!""Huh!?"“I can see it, Senpai……!!”"You're here...!""You don't have to believe me, but Senpai--" I shook off Hinata's arm before I could ask. Hinata staggered from the recoil and left me. The red-rimmed glasses dropped with a slight sound. And I Then, I say the worst word to Hinata."I don't understand..." I couldn't help but hope. Don't say this ahead. but……,"Your disgusting delusions... don'
"Is your body okay now?"“Yes, yes. The first day without Takenaka-san. My fever went down, and I went to work according to the modified shift.“Since then, I heard from Mr. Takenaka…that the store manager and Mr. Aoyama made various arrangements for me and went to work instead…I’m sorry, but from now on I’ll be taking care of my physical condition properly.”"Haha, don't worry about it. You must have been tired." I'm glad I was able to return right away. As I bow my head, the manager taps me on the shoulder and encourages me."N, but I feel a little haggard... If you think it's impossible, tell me, I'll be fine even if I'm alone.""No, as expected, it's a bit.""I'll be in trouble if I fall down again, so don't overdo it.""……yes"“Takenaka-kun, were you worried?”"Yeah, I even had you cook for me... I'm so sorry.""Fufu, it's fine. He loves taking care of people like that, so he seems to have worked as a caregiver before he came here.""Is that so?" The store manager's words rem
dawn--. I was hiding under the futon and staring at the dirty ceiling of the dilapidated apartment. Even with my eyelids half closed, I never felt sleepy. Even though I'm tired after the night shift, my body doesn't want to sleep at all. A few days ago, I stopped dreaming of Hinata jumping off the roof. To be precise, I tried not to see it, but maybe it's right. Due to the fear and resistance, my sleep has become extremely shallow, and even when I'm asleep, can I say that I'm always half conscious? Even the slightest noise can wake you up immediately. I think I'm good at sleeping like this, but of course I don't feel like I'm asleep, or rather, I'm not actually asleep. It looks like a herbivore that is wary of carnivores. Fear of deep sleep, fear of nightmares, signals your brain not to sleep soundly. Oh... no. If I continue to live like this, I will collapse again in the near future... A nasty slumber is coming, and I want to fall asleep, but a nightmare awaits me. I sent my c
None of this is so insignificant that I can talk about it in short. When I finished talking about everything, the train had stopped at the destination station. After that, I was led by Kinoshita and made to walk down a deserted footpath that I didn't recognize."Oh I see……""There was no other reason for Hinata to commit suicide...it was me, his cause of death.""But I can't imagine Hinata-chan killing herself just because of a fight with Masa. After all, Masa didn't tell her to die." I looked down and bit my lip. Oh... I didn't say, even if you die. Jump off from there."But it's true that I said something cruel to him and hurt him." The face of Hinata in the memory that was revived by the clairvoyance is still stuck in my head. As if my heart was crushed by my words, it stopped moving and lost its voice. That guy was crying The guy who was always laughing out loud. Crying and left alone on the roof."I didn't say die, but for him, the words I threw at him might have had the
