Chapter 143 (2/2)

「Two drink bars and two rice sets with haers Certainly!」

The family restaurant that we entered had a fair ah it was still too early for lunch

「Good grief, you have to be erous in this country Do you understand your position?」

「…Yes, I will be ht on point, so without arguing, I dejectedly lowered my head

「Well, you don’t really have to worry about it too ned to you as well」

Kawakami-san pointed at the pretty ordinary tall aze

「Ah, ehht that it wasoodbyes at the hospital entrance

But I didn’t feel any hostility and it felt s In addition, he is the only one that can be seen but several more presences can be sensed

（…No, wait, wait, wait, ain’t I being too opti multiple presences outside of rader syndroo back to my dark history）

I shakethat follows me for the last couple of days

But even so, there is indeed a man that took the position on the seat near the entrance

「You weren’t told anything? Since I aiting for you, I was taken to the police station by that old man that sits there with an indifferent face And then they made me do a written oath that I won’t write an article about you」

「…No, even if you look atstare

「Even a simple interview article without any ood It seems that they hid the very fact that there is a returnee I don’t have the courage to write after being told『And what are you planning to do if your unnecessary article will lead to so here?」

I ask sighing Kawakami-san

「Pure curiosity Even if I can’t turn it into an article, after working so hard for it, wouldn’t you want to at least hear the story?」

「Well, Sure…? 」

While saying so, I was thinking about what I should do

「And? Will you tell me a story worth thirty thousand yen?」

「Ah, Ahahaha…」

Kawaka with excite a forced smile

So, what should I say since I don’t re?

☆

「Haa~… I’ water within the bathtub at hoood that I could feel the tiredness fro as I entered its watery e, all ot police attention so it can be called a loss?』

『Kuuuuuuh…!!! I even refused to go to a good h I tried so hard…! 』

After such an exchange, I went hoe to Mai’s phone

I had no heart to talk with her directly over the phone so Iof the fact, iot a call

While I was hesitating to pick it up, the following reply caet on your knees and wait forto have a very, very important conversation <3 ♪ 』

The reply made me want to escape from reality

And thus whensun behind her and a shi+ning sthat happened today, she found out about Kawaka down at me with a cold stare of absolute zero te me with phrases like『Stupid brother can only think with his lower half』or『Trash brother should first learn how to treat ladies before doing so sister discipli… provide you guidance before failure-brother will turn into low-life brother that attacks wo onof apple jelly prepared, the ser

「It’s school starting tomorrow To think I will become Mai’s classmate and underclassot out of the bathtub before I becaed into paja there on the couch and watching TV

「Ah, Brother, hoas the bath? Aah, look at you, you have to dry your hair properly or you will catch a cold」

「Hey, it’s fine I’m not a kid That aside, you should take a bath yourself」

「That’s right, then I will have it… The water… You didn’t contaht? Trash Brother」

「Eive me a break already? If my cute little sister will bully me some more, I won’t be able to recover」

「H childish things with an unconcerned expression, Mai averts her gaze

Aaa, what is this, my little sister is too cute

Cuteness that strikes right into my heart

I followed Mai withfor bath and then went to the refrigerator for a canned juice

Returning to the living roooing there happened to be a variety show about so where a bunch of celebrities, experts and commentators watch a video and discuss it

（…It’s about Transference Applicants again…）

『…Which means, that perhaps the suspect didn’t co your own neck with a knife is a clearly abnoring, followed by ju Because there is no point in killing yourself in a clearly agonizing way』

『Yeah but wasn’t the culprit doing like drugs or so? Perhaps he was completely out of his mind?』

『Then was it the last act of resistance froirl…』

『In any case, it’s an unbearable incident At least may the soul of the victim『Saito Satomi』rest in peace』

I turned the TV off

「…Well, tio, I leave the living roo to sleep』

Mai responded with『Yees』and I went to my room on the second floor

The room that stayed without the owner for one year was kept in the exact same state as I remember it The same as with mother’s plants or father’s bike, I can tell that Mai was looking over theet under the blanket, close ments of my lost memory

It became a habit over those several days Before I sleep, I search forinsidefor the botto that I absolutely shouldn’t have forgotten at the botto very iet to the bottoo ofhold of anything, my dulled down mind fades into sleep

「………………? Mai……?」

「…………」

As I was dozing off and was on the brink of corabbed on the back brought me back to reality a bit

I can smell sha onto Mai that sneaked into ain closed my eyes
