Volume 34 Chapter 2 Part1-3 (1/2)

Chinami-san and me

Although I entered high school after , from the very start it was a failure

I was freed fro for exams, and of course I didn't have any ho in the pri around with ht influenza, and so I was absent since the first day

I wanted to attend the school entrance ceremony, that is said to be an introduction of the classether for a year in the sa, but I was dissuaded from this course of action byillness to your classether with you in the same room for the year

Because of that, that you couldn't tell by looking if ed like a virus for the year, and ”Influenza,” soe name is unpleasant

Even so, I recovered coh the sleeves of the yearned for black unifor to school, I closely crossed paths with the neighboring seat's pupil who ended up being absent Of course, the reason was not because my virus had accidentally spread

”China her treatment for her illness overseas If Terasu-san is here, she said to pass this along, even though she was taking care of this”

What the classmate held out was a notebook

Thanks to the drugs and the injection, the influenza's high fever abated on the 3rd day, but ive out the OK, and so my first day of school was about 10 days after the school entrance ceremony had passed In that time, it seems that not only had orientation completed, but lessons had also already started

Forseat, this kind Hibino Chinaiven to me In this notebook she had written the information of the lessons for all the subjects It wouldn't be unreasonable to rely solely on this study guide, and there were ae that had the contents of sensei's self-introduction -- it even had a portrait of a cat, and such

”Today, it was very good that Terasu-san cah the continuation of it was entrusted to me by Chinami-san, my letters and pictures aren't as skilled as Chinami-san's”

Probably having opened the notebook and looked inside, Hiroe-san, as one seat in front of h

Having been absent, I armly ushered in by my classmates

At the highly respected Lillian Acade a school for ladies, of course there wasn't a pupil who called a nobody likenickname such as ”influenza-san” Not only that, here, nicknaed to the sa first name with ”-san” attached is standard

And so, once I had received the notebook, it was decided that I had taken responsibility for the continuation that Chinami had requested of our classmates

They said, since I was present, isn't it already unnecessary? What are they talking about!? Starting today, the notebook should be changed over to benefit Chinami-san as absent

”Shall I help?”

Although such was said by someone in the class, I cut it off with, ”It's ok” From what they told me Chinami-san had said, the notebook had been made for my benefit alone, so there is no reason that I can't do it, moreover and more importantly, I wanted to do it by myself

Why, you say? I felt that this tih we had not yet h school student, and Chinami-san was my friend

I iined this and that about China the notebook

”Chinaht Hair somewhat short, and a round head But, thin, and with slender ars, I think Her skin color looks whitish, and, now that I think about it, I wonder if the pale complexion was due to illness Also, there is a yaeba” (TN: a double/protruding tooth)

When asked, Hiroe-san informed me so Round head, thin, pale complexion, somewhat short hair, has yaeba, and ――, even if these disparate features were lined up, she couldn't quite construct an iirl If she were to say which TV personality resee and such direction, it wasn't so easy to do I wonder if Hiroe-san doesn't have a knack for res

”If I have to say, she's similar to my cousin, if”

”………”

While regrettable, I haven't laid eyes on Hiroe's cousin even one time, and even hereafter, the chance of that does not seem likely

”Quiet and refined, and I guess the ient and reliable person”

Regarding that, if you looked at the characters very neatly written in the notebook, it was understood And, if one thing is added to another, it's a strong illustration

In the notebook's in, a co,” had been drawn, although it was any nus such as the hair style and -- what an exquisite arrangeination, the entire iood resemblance

”Terasu-san Want to join us?”

As I was about to leave the classroo a boxed lunch, there came a call from a classmate's voice

”Thanks, but since the weather is nice…”

Wanting to eat outside, I waved my hand and went out into the corridor

Besides that, there wasn't any reason other than I wanted to eat outside nolunch under the sun is soh, because it's outside, there are bugs, and the wind cos like dust, and leaves

That aside, the expected reply to ”Want to join us?” is ”Yes” or ”No” So, it would be strange to respond with, ”Since the weather is nice, I can't eat together with you guys” The girls who called out in no way did they say they definitely wouldn't eat outside That's because eating boxed lunches together outside was a possible option

”That so… Well, maybe next time, okay?”

My classain after a little while, it seems the response would be, ”Want to join us?”
