Chapter 6 (2/2)
“What’s wrong Seta?”
“Can you be quiet for a sec”
The cool guy stayed with us and tried to help Seta-san as standing still and trying to grasp as going on This is pretty painful Seta-san!
“There is no way that you don’t knoho he is”
“Really…”
“What is going on This is the first tiirl”
Oh, crap
It was too late by the tiht of it I understood that I had just made a mistake that can’t be undone
This cool guy is an acquaintance of Aika-chan In addition, Aika-chan is close enough to him that even Seta-san knows I felt likeand the sound of hout
“This girl may look different, but she is shi+nozuka Aika”
“shi+nozuka, you say”
Ah, it’s those eyes again I wonder whyat otten used to that look but my chest is in pain
“Also, this guy, Mikoshi+ba Kento, is in the same class as me He’s in the student council”
Whaattt!?
He’s the saht he was at least an upperclassain he looks more like an adult since he doesn’t have his uniform on
Thats not the issue! I shouldn’t be worried about that right now To think that he was also in the student council with ht to see their faces in the cafeteria It looks like I’ve done it nohat should I do
“…Are you really shi+nozuka Aika?”
“Thats right, she is I didn’t even believe it at first but she even had her student card”
“Well, but it’s not just her appearance but her ated”
“I thought that too But none of that ht now What I want to knohy you didn’t know this guy’s face”
“The thing is, I didn’t know or in other words, I didn’t understand…”
I wanted to run away as they slowly drove me into a corner What should I do, what do I say?
While I was stumped for an answer, Seta-san said these words,
“You said you didn’t know… could you possibly have amnesia?”
Of course that’s what they would think No matter how you look at it, there’s no way I could beco strange, and I can’t say the truth so I was thinking about using that excuse
But, I didn’t want to say it Because if I say it I would…
“So it’s amnesia, huh Do you really have no memories?”
“But there’s no way she did A second ago she was digging in the flowerbed and was getting excited at seeing the earthworms and larva you know? Isn’t that impossible!?”
“…Did you go to the hospital?”
“I ao to the hospital!”
『The hospital』
I was scared of those words
Now that I finally have a healthy body, if by any chance I got hospitalized because of an inspection then…
I can finally run, jump, and eat delicious foods with this healthy body My first ti school life, a fun daily life That could possibly all go away I could becoain in the hospital…
“Haa, Hii,”
“What’s wrong!?”
“Oh no, she’s hyperventilating”
I felt bad about having the vice president Mikoshi+ba-kun carrydue tofor me with a worried tone This doesn’t appear to be a dream I still want to live
In order to settle ht to the school infirmary where I rested on the bed
Ah, this feels so fain to form What should I do if I end up hospitalized?
While I rolled around in the bed and hugged my pilloith anxiety, suddenly
“Um, is shi+nozuka-san here?”
This voice is Tanaka-kun!
“Are you feeling alright?”
“Yeah, I’ you”
When I retrievedthe atmosphere felt very calm so I could settled down and was able to open the door quickly
“Why are you also co?”
“Of course I am”
“Why would you do that? Are you alright with getting up already?”
It’s Seta-san and Mikoshi+ba-kun Tanaka-kun was pretty shocked by their entrance but my heart was evenyet so this is aard
“How are you feeling?”
“Ah, yes I’m fine now”
“…You really have changed”
His eyes which were staring directly at s of hatred or suspicion, but instead appeared to be tender Mikoshi+ba-san pattedon the bed and said,
“I think that out of everyone you are theyou into a corner”
“Eh…?”
“Sorry It’s not even your fault shi+nozuka-san but I kept pressing you for answers Of course you were afraid, you’ve lost your memory I’m really sorry!”
It appears that the reason that I had hyperventilated was because of extreized repeatedly because they believed that I hyperventilated from the stress and anxiety that came from amnesia
“Eh, shi+nozuka-san you had lost your memory!?”
Tanaka-kun who had been as quiet as an outsider suddenly exclai is rapidly getting bigger The truth is I didn’t lose my memory but it’s much easier to say that I did because I can’t explain it If I could I would much rather tell the truth
“Err, about that”
“Oh, so that’s hoas That explains why you were acting so strange in the ?”
Afu Of course he thought that I was acting strange
Tanaka-kun ca his kind attitude from earlier today Even Seta-san and Mikoshi+ba-kun who knew about reat people
I really don’t want to go to the hospital I don’t want to be unable to see these kind people again
“shi+nozuka-san!?”
The tears caht about it more and more, my anxiety increased and
“Hey, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
I couldn’t talk anyripped my skirt and even when I tried
“What is it? If you have anything you’re worried about just say it Talk slowly and don’t rush”
Mikoshi+ba-kun’s low voice How strange It makes me feel very calm
“…School, is very fun”
The tears wouldn’t stop and I occasionally hiccuped Little by little I was able to say what I was thinking It’s scary to say your worries out loud but I know I’ to listen
“Co to classes at school The delicious food I had with Tanaka-kun Planting seeds with Seta-san, those thingsSo thats why…”
I had gripped my nails deeply into my palm and had tears all over my face as I raised my head
“I don’t want to go the the hospital! I would hate it if I ended up getting a surgical operation and not be able to go to school anymore I… want to be with everyone more! I want to make lots and lots of memories”
Toward the end ot s as reedier and also want to have more enjoy selfish Is that not okay, to want more?
After confessingIn that time, nobody said a word That moment of silence flowed on until Seta-san spoke up in a flustered tone,
“There’s nothing to worry about! I’ve never heard of anyone getting surgery for amnesia! But that’s what you orried about? Rather than being concerned about your o to school?”
“…Yeah”
When I raisedI waved my hand in denial as she appeared shocked and bewildered and then I wondered if that was really true
A handkerchief iftly presented in front ofas if he were troubled
“You’ll be okay shi+nozuka-san You’re probably getting an examination but you seeo to school”
“Is that true!?”
“What!”
As I took the handkerchief Tanaka-kun presented to o to school? While I was gazing at his eyes intensely, for some reason his face became red and he looked away
“Y-Yeah You’re definitely going to be fine”
“Will you eat lunch with ain?”
“Of course Lets eat together”
Tanaka-kun was s shy What a nice person To be able to sit next to him in class and eat lunch with him makes me feel so fortunate That’s why I just had to ask him
“Umm… Will you please be my friend?”
“What! Ah, yeah If you’re fine with me”
“Really?”
“Woah, yes You’re really… close”
“Thank you Tanaka-kun! Please take care of me from now on”
Without thinking I becaain Thats because someone as kind as Tanaka-kun became my friend!? I was so happy that I smiled with my whole face and shaked my hands in excitement
“Yeah, take care of me too… man, she’s so cute”
While he said the last phrase he used his other hand to hide his mouth and looked down so I couldn’t hear what he said
“Seta-san!”
“Huh, what is it?”
I let go of Tanaka-kun and went in front of Seta-san who had watched over ht as well go all the way
“It was very fun talking with you Seta-san Will you please be my friend!”
I putand asked her I definitely want to become Seta-san’s friend I don’t know if it was because she realized how frantic I was but she gave me a deep nod
“Take care of me… wait, isn’t this risky?”
I did it! I made two friends!
For the rest of the ti Seta-san’s hands It’s because I really am happy!
“Hey, you’re really dangerous you know! Tanaka-kun, you’re in the same class so will you please watch out for her? Since she’s definitely a dangerous person!”
“Ah, yup I’ll be careful”
“You should also look out for her since you are also in the student council Hey, why are you all frozen now?”
“Well, she’s become so different that I can’t conceal my bewilderment”
Seta-san and Tanaka-kun were talking about soether but none of that went in my ears I was just so happy that I expressed my happiness with a banzai I’ve obtained friends!
“I’m so fortunate that I was able to make two friends in the first day!”
“Am I not included?”
I became friends with Mikoshi+ba-kun and then Tanaka-kun ith me to the station out of concern on my way home
It’s nice to have friends
