Volume 28 Chapter 17 (1/2)
”Take a look at this”
It was an out-of-focus photo It was of a different quality to the rest of the photographs that had so far appeared on the table, and a fairly poor effort considering the photographer was Tsutako-san
”Do you knoho this is?”
”Huh?”
There were all kinds of things she wanted to ask, but Tsutako-san shut her down by saying, ”Without prejudice,” so Yuraph No-one other than Yuraph, and they watched and waited for her response
”It looks like someone I know … but it's not all that clear so I'm not sure It's dark, so it's hard to tell for sure, but it looks like it was taken at our school But they're wearing street clothes… and the date … that was during suht, I guess”
”What isn't?”
Tsutako-san asked Meaning, What isn't right?
”Itheht it was”
Yuraph to return it, but Tsutako-san pushed it back towards her, saying ”Take another look”
”Without prejudice”
Tsutako-san repeated and, once more, Yumi reset and looked only at the face
”It looks like a friend of mine”
”They don't go to our school, right?”
Based on that, Tsutako-san probably knew the person she was thinking of too Yuht,” and Tsutako-san ht”
”What is?”
”Actually, this is soave me”
The name of Yumi's classmate burst forth
”Oh? Ah, right So this is Minato-san then?”
A slender body and short hair A boyish figure teamed with a pink T-shi+rtheard her sweet voice it all became clear
”That's what you'd think fro at it”
So was Tsutako-san saying that that wasn't the case? That was probably why she'd been so insistent about saying, ”Without prejudice”
”But she told raph”
”A spirit photograph?”
”That the photograph was proof of her doppelganger At the tiht it just an out-of-focus shot that she'd taken of herself, so I laughed it off But since last Autumn it's been kind of blurry”
”Blurry?”
”Yeah Like the photo”
And as a result, she'd apparently been left wondering if this really was a photograph that Minato-san had taken of herself Indeed, it seemed like Tsutako-san had started to reflect on it At first she'd overlooked it, but now she seemed convinced that it was soht it was
”Not always, but occasionally I'd think about it Then, suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration the other day Like things caht I'd ask you to take a look, Yumi-san”
”I see”
Indeed After all, she'd been a lot closer to the person that Tsutako-san seemed to have in mind than Tsutako-san had been At least, that's what Yuht
Yoshi+no-san and shi+raph, but didn't say anything Since Tsutako-san had specifically mentioned Yumi, and since the subject was someone in street clothes asn't from their school, they probably assumed it was someone they'd never met
Therefore, Yuht she should keep this to herself too If her reasoning was correct, and this photo caht, then that person would be in a bit, no make that a lot, of trouble Because it irls school in theplace
The spitting iirlish-looking boy
