Chapter 13 (1/2)
Chapter 13
I didn’t even think that I could fall in love I was supposed to have only wanted to live a normal life in a healthy body
Itin love with someone could make you feel so warm
“But out of all people it’s Ichinose senpai huh He already has Mah”
Ah… What ah I can fall in love, Ichinose senpai likes Sakurako-san so et in their way
The delicious taste from the potato in my mouth dissolved as my body temperature suddenly dropped
Is there noto my love?
“That doesn’t matter!”
“What…”
When I raisedme a serious expression
“It doesn’t matter if the person you like has a lover Because people can’t help falling in love!”
“But, you know he has his girlfriend is Mamiya senpai?”
“Like I said, it doesn’t matter! No matter who he is with, you shouldn’t try to deny your own feelings It’s okay to not give up right away”
“Is it okay to not give up?”
Uchiht that I wasn’t allowed to fall in love with Ichinose senpai
“I gave up because he had a lover That kind of thing is really sad Since you still haven’t done anything about it shi+nozuka-san”
“I haven’t done anything?”
“Then again pulling apart a relationshi+p between a couple would be unforgivable But I think you shouldn’t give up right away Ichinose senpai could fall in love with you or you could possibly fall in love with another person Nature and your heart ht separate further away from each other”
My senpais may not be lovers but I know I probably shouldn’t tell them
Ichinose senpai has liked Sakurako-san for a long time so I don’t think that he’ll fall in love with s
“That’s why for now, just value your feelings towards Ichinose senpai Since love is what makes a women become beautiful”
“What—, but you know, isn’t unfulfilled love just painful?”
“Even if your love doesn’t get fulfilled, a love that is only full of sadness is lonely You know that all the memories you’ve made with that person will become painful?”
“I don’t want that to happen!”
I definitely don’t want my encounter with Ichinose senpai to become unpleasant!
As if to calently
“Yeah, that’s why instead of giving up right away, I think that you should try your best until you are satisfied There will be sad and painful things but I don’t think that falling in love with Ichinose senpai will all be for nothing Good luck, shi+nozuka-san”
“Uchimura-san……”
The tears ca e I want to be her friend
Ichinose senpai likes Sakurako-san so I bet that s will never be fulfilled But still, the ht about liking someone was able to fall in love I’m happy, I’m incredibly happy
“N—, but we don’t know all that much about relationshi+ps It’s true that nomy opponents are at my matches, I don’t want to back out Yeah, I’ll also cheer you on Good luck, Aika!”
She plunged forward and gently stroked my head
Her s me It’s warm, it makes me feel warm
“Hey is so!?”
“Huh?”
I didn’t notice until Seta-san pointed it out The tears flowed out of my eyes and wouldn’t stop even when I wiped them away
“What, what?”
“Don’t rub them Handkerchief, handkerchief”
Uchimura-san lent her handkerchief so I used it around my eyes and the two of them waited for me
A healthy body My first love Also, a friend that supports s I had wished to live the kind of life a girl e would normally have
That is now being fulfilled
“…Thank you, thank you”
“Huh, again!?”
“What’s wrong shi+nozuka-san Why are you crying?”
The two of theain perplexed by my sudden tears Since I didn’t want to trouble theh my words were broken
“I was just so happy…… I didn’t knohat to do since it was the first tis but you two, Uchimura-san and Seta-san, supported me so now I know I’m not alone My chest feels warm”
“…Aika”
“So thank you I’m happy that I was able to become your friend, Seta-san I also want to be your friend, Uchimura-san”
I looked Uchiht in the eye as I asked her
She appeared surprised but she nodded without reat person!
“Take care of me, Aika”
“Please take care of me too”
“Alright, let’s cheer in commemoration of this”
This is ot home I had eyes like a rabbit
The sun began to sink and the beautiful sunset was stained red As alked together towards the station, I saw the shadow of the three of us and unintentionally smiled
“Ah, let’s exchange our contact information”
Aot both of their email addresses I saw their names in my address book and that h I did jump up and down
“Hey and also, could you stop calling me “Seta-san”? Just call me Mayu”
“Yeah and also you can call me Kana”
“Oh, um…… Mayu…chan Kana-chan”
Afu, calling the it’s ehed at me
“Aika seems kind of like a small animal Don’t you lose to Mamiya senpai”
“Mah Aika you see with you makes people feel cal”
“Have the two of you met Mamiya senpai before?”
I’ve heard about Mamiya senpai from a lot of people but the et I wonder what on earth she’s really like?
“Hmm, I’ve never directly had a conversation with her but she seems like the Yaraceful, the opposite of me”
“I’ve talked to her many times but she seeant behavior expected of a dry-goods store daughter”
Nn? Huh? The way she’s being described is different than what I heard fro on?
I separated fro home, I saw Yuuya-kun on his bike and called and waved out to him in a loud voice when,
“Shut up—!”
He yelled that out as he rode by and disappeared That’s OK
Before I went to sleep, e Could it possibly be from Mayu-chan?
I er and opened the receive box and in it were two es The first one was from Mayu-chan And the other one was…
“Ichinose senpai…”
The sender’s name said Ichinose senpai and it was sent on May 5th It was the day that I died and also the day that Aika-chan committed suicide
I wonder what it says
I timidly opened the mail and it read,
“Ahh, I like her I have only had eyes for Sakurako since a young age”
That was all But it h I should already know that Ichinose senpai likes Mamiya-san
That’s right I wonder what Aika-chan responded with?
I opened the sent box and only saw oneIt was addressed to Ichinose senpai and it was sent on May 5th The tie from Ichinose senpai
I gulped and opened the e
“Kazuki senpai you must really like Sakurako senpai huh”
After this e from Ichinose senpai was received That’s the end
This is simply my own conjecture but I think that Aika-chan seriously liked Ichinose senpai But she knew that Ichinose senpai liked Sakurako-san so it was heart-breaking…
Aika-chan Aika-chan
Do I feel this pain in my chest from Aika-chan’s body? Our souls are different but this body is Aika-chan’s so is that hen I look at Ichinose senpai things happen like my chest feels painful andpassed over from Aika-chan?
The words that Kana-chan said at the family restaurant rose to the surface of my mind
“It’s lovely that although you lost your ed towards him”
The feelings I have towards Ichinose senpai, I wonder if they are really my own I don’t know, I don’t know
Without knowing anything still, I felt pain indown
“Tomorrow… I’ll ask Ichinose senpai why he went out with Aika-chan”
That night I wasn’t able to sleep well, I reread the warain sorasped htly
When I woke up in themy face looked terrible How did this happen! I ruined Aika-chan’s cute face At this rate it’s not okay I need to et better
I washed my face at the sink and clapped ized
“What the heck are you doing”
“Ah, goodYuuya-kun”
“Yeah—”
Did you hear that? Yuuya replied That Yuuya-kun as always ignoring me responded to me! I’m so happy!
I gazed at Yuuya-kun, as brushi+ng his teeth in front of the ht
“I like you Yuuya-kun”
“Gobo, gawa, gawa, gaaaaa!?”
“The fact that I like you Yuuya-kun is a true feeling that I just realized”
