 Again.... It was the same before.

 Unconsciously, I look at the glass-enclosed side. It's pitch black and empty, there's no one there. Be attracted. I feel it somehow. It's like someone is watching you...

 Or rather, it would be more expressive to say that I was being glared at. For some reason, I feel a strong gaze. feel like.

 Every time I feel it, the corner of my head hurts. No, what is this? It wasn't long after the day and night were reversed, and before I knew it, my body was raising its roots. When I was thinking about such a thing, the automatic door opened.

 Ah... someone came. Instinctively, she felt it.

 The door opened on its own like that time, and there was nothing that looked like a human being there.

"Welcome--"

 This is Pavlov's dog. I was astonished at myself when I spilled out of my mouth the routine lines that had become firmly ingrained in my habit.

 But--.

 Strangely, even though no one should have entered, I felt a faint presence at that time.

 Something other than me exists in the store, something other than me moves, and that's exactly what it is.

 It's like it's standing right in front of me.

 It's like you're really close. Such a sign――

"Uh-oh--, ah"

 Standing in front of the counter, I stiffened.

 My neck is... it hurts.

 It's hard to breathe.

 Suddenly I can't breathe...

"Nah... Ah"

 I can't breathe well.

 I know it's not something you want to do.

 But it hurts.

 It was as if my throat was being squeezed with all my might.

 like it's locked up.

 what……. What is this…….

 Even if I cough violently, I can't escape from the pain.

 Sweat drips from my head.

 I don't understand, I don't understand, I can't breathe, I can't breathe, so I can't even think... There's only one thing I know.

 My body was trembling to the point that it was unnatural, and it was just awful... It's dangerous...!

"Ah, ah..."

 A hoarse voice leaked out of my mouth, and I couldn't get enough oxygen, and my head felt dizzy. When I thought so.

 The automatic door opened again with a mediocre melody, most out of place for this situation.

 came in.

 girl.

 I have big eyes and long hair. She's short and has a young face. but.

 I'm smoking...

"T-gu--"

 Customer……. that's right.

 I can't speak in this state. I can't even move my body. They think I'm a strange salesclerk...!

 I panicked and tried to force my voice out, but the girl with a rather innocent face walked briskly to the front of the counter, held a cigarette in her mouth between her fingers, and spewed out a large amount of smoke at me.

 and.

"You're in the way... over there. Get lost quickly."

 As soon as I glared up at my neck and said that in a bad mood. The feeling of oppression that had been tormenting me disappeared, and the stiffness in my body dissolved as if something had broken.

 With that beat, I put my hand on the counter and took a deep breath over and over again as if I was sprinting.

 Oxygen comes in firmly, the head starts to move clearly.

 What is it now?

 I'm confused and don't know what's going on anymore, what's wrong with me...

 While I was catching my breath and panicking, thinking about how I should be able to convince myself of the strange events I just experienced, a stern baby-faced woman who I thought was a customer entered inside the counter.

"Huh!?"

 I noticed it there for the first time.

 No way this person.

"Mr. Hirai..."

 Instead of responding, she narrowed her eyes and said to me with a sullen look.

"Claw marks..."

"Huh...?"

"It's on my neck."

 Claw marks....

 For some reason I was horrified when he said that.

 I involuntarily hold my neck, which was so painful that I couldn't help it.

"noob"

"Yes?!"

"Over there, don't look straight at me."

 Puffing out cigarette smoke again, Mr. Hirai and the stranger pointed their chins at the glass wall.

“A woman with bloodshot eyes is always looking this way.

 After saying that, he went into the back room without waiting for a reply.

"..."

 I say

 I was getting more and more confused.

 A woman with bloodshot eyes is watching from over there...?

 Did you come inside the store?

 No, I can't keep up.

 What does it mean.

 But what I felt just now was the presence of something moving with will and a chill welling up.

 It wasn't just anything...

"What the hell is this..."

 I wiped the sweat from my forehead and nose.

 Even though my body stopped shivering, the chills returned when I remembered what happened.

 Hmm... Hirai-san. Mr. Hirai...

 You're a Yankee...!

 Even though you have a baby face, you looked like a lady! Even though I was late, I smoked a cigarette proudly!

 ……scared. I'm scared!

 I feel like I'm going to get kicked in the butt.

 After my neck, the chill spread to my buttocks.

 Exactly then. The door of the back room opened and Mr. Hirai, a baby-faced Yankee, reappeared.

 I didn't see it much earlier, but--um...a big chest! ?

 The uniform is sticking out!

 Lolita face and big breasts is such a nice setting, hey...!

"a"

 I just looked straight into it.

 Yabe, can you say something? The moment I met Hirai's eyes, I stretched her back and made her face stronger.

 But.

 Hirai-san, who met my eyes, neither got angry nor glared at me. laugh heartily.

"Sorry, I'm late. Tehepero☆"

 I stuck my tongue out of my mouth and lightly hit my head with my fist.

"..."

 Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah! ?

 Actually, this was the official first contact between me and Mr. Hirai. I learned that a little later.

    "Nice to meet you. I think you heard it from Mr. Aoyama. I'm Hirai. Ah, my last name is 'Kaname'! I'm really sorry I'm late?... Um, Hakamada-kun? Was it?" Do you say this with a muffled cry?

    "……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?

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.

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

    "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.

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.

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.

    "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.

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.

    "--Yeah, it's okay, it looks like you've been saved." The analogy applies, surfacing from the dark, cold ocean floor. 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.

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.
