 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

    "I'm sorry it was so sudden, so take care of yourself.""king""It's Masa who decides, so let me know if you think it's okay to take it, they'll be happy too.""ah""If anything happens, call me anytime. I'll be waiting for you." I broke up with Kinoshita in front of the station, who waved until I could no longer see him, and returned home to take a nap. Director, huh... I'm the director... Quite frankly, it's impossible. There's no way I can carry a team on my back. It's very heartbreaking to betray the expectations of those middle schoolers with those innocent eyes, but I can't afford to worry about anything else right now. Instead of distracting myself with other things, I'd rather finish my mistake at the convenience store. Going to another place without finishing it... It's probably the same as running away. I haven't met you yet. Even though I found out that I was the cause of Hinata's death, I still haven't met Hinata once, who remains in this world and appears from time

     The loud footsteps of one person moving around the counter make me feel uneasy. I feel that time passes slowly. How can you be so quiet when you're alone? On the other side of the counter is Mr. Aoyama, who talks a lot, and Mr. Hirai, who always seems to be having fun by himself while repeating strange words. There is no Mr. If there were no customers, I killed time by doing miscellaneous affairs and chatting until it got dark outside. As long as I was in this store, as long as I was with those people, I didn't have to worry about anything. Even though I saw many things I didn't like, I never once felt uneasy. This is... From now on, something terrible is going to happen... I can't believe I'm feeling a strange feeling in my heart. There is a limit to what you are doing. I wiped the sweat on my forehead and waited for the time to pass. Even so, the manager is late... It's almost two o'clock. I did the miscellaneous tasks that I could handle alone. Cleaning and shelving. I also t

    “T-Takenaka-san――!!” A film of tears forms on your eyes. Feeling a faint hope, she once again grasps her hands on the steering wheel. Having lost my mind, I called out the other person's name with tears in my eyes. Mr. Takenaka, who realized that it was not just a matter of fact, immediately asked me what happened in a calm voice."I, now! On the night shift, alone!" Voices come out before they become words. What should I say and where should I start? Impatience brings impatience.“Then! You can't read the story line at all. However, that is not really the case. If I turn around, he should be behind me.

    "- So, that's all the story I experienced." If you say so with the feeling of folding a picture-story show after reading. Right and left of me, dozens of shaved heads lying down in front of me or sitting on the futons, like, huh. Whoa. Uhi or something. Hawa or something. I let out a sigh at the same time. Phew……. 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

    3 The four of them replied to each other separately, and left the cemetery while stumbling, saying that it was too bad they would miss the train. 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... I really wanted to come a little earlier, but it's this mess, so it took a lot of time." Two months after that――. There were no problems with the test results, and I wa

    "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. When you first appeared in front of us, that girl..." Unable to form even his original form, he forgot who he was. He was generating his own spiritual magnetic field on his roof. Aside from the dialogue, if you take one step closer, it will attack you without delay."I told Takenaka to get out

    "--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. 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. You're trying to call the doctor again, right? I don't know what will happen. Haha.

     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... Senpai, after that, I was accused of various things, and I had a hard time... I... I didn't think I'd misunderstand like this... Senpai, I had a lot of pain without my knowledge. sorry" Just when I thought she was joking around, Hinata politely bowed her head while letting her black hair flow forward."Why are you apologizin

Hinata... that's right... you.... I... I...!" Words can be understood--. 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. Words get stuck in my throat, I'm at a loss as to what to say. I hesitated, but I felt like I had to say it, I had to face it, I h

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. A mediocre chime that didn't suit the tense atmosphere enough to make me laugh――stopped my consciousness that was about to fade away. Sound of automatic doors. Did someone... come?
