Chapter 151 (2/2)

I realize that it’s nonsense to co man’s underwear but exactly what can take a whole hour

「So freee, so boored」

「Well well, as expected of a high school student Such a ence in e, corporate warriors fighting on a daily basis, are longing for」

「Ah, Kawaka juice through the straas approached by Kawakarance of sweet perfume somehow reminded me that Kawakami-san is indeed a woman

「It’s been around two months since we last ain?」

「Yeah, ca scoop on an idol And I just found out that I wasted my time, since it was hoax, so I’m in a bit of bad mood Therefore, on’t you treat me?」

Kawakami-san that sat in the opposite seat as if that was theto do, pulled a seously unreasonable thing

「No, no, what is this absurd reasoning, you are an adult, don’t try to sponge off a high school student」

「Ah, Miss, one rib steak set with a large serving of rice!」

「She isn’t listening… And even nonchalantly ordered the priciest item on the menu」

She is as pushy as always

Well, she didn’t take back the thirty thousand yen that I borrowed froainst this

「And, what are you doing at such a place?」

「Waiting untilSo for almost an hour, I am an idler」

「Date with your little sister? What a sad youth you are having」

Those words stung deep

「Shut up, you just don’t understand I am super nor a sad youth when I can have a date with such a cute little sister?」

「Eh? But she is your sister? She isn’t your girlfriend or anything, right?」

「……」

The woman beforeh, this person, I hate her

「Well, fine By the way, how is your ?」

「…I did not recall anything Unfortunately for Kawaka?」

「I’ activities」

「Huh? Mertip, I drop a condensate fro, in which caht that I perhaps I don’t have to recall anything I don’t think that anything would change even if I were to re the paper wiggling around, those complains came out a lot more naturally than I expected

When I said it out loud, it suddenly dawned onto find various excuses, but I’ that I should do it for Yuuto or for detectives or for resolution of those incidents, but in the end, I was afraid of the stranger inside me

「More importantly, I want to entertain my sister at the moment She suddenly beca this year And as I finally came back she became a bit emotionally unstable My own affairs can wait」

Nonetheless, those words also were true

Right now, Mai has only

「Hmm, is that so? But in that case, isn’t it all the more reason to work on your memory? 」

「? Why is that?」

「Well, isn’t that so? If she is e beside her a big brother carrying a time bomb called amnesia?」

「………」

Her words left me speechless

「Furtherht? And you already disappeared once, with this e to worry on ill you disappear again」

「Eh, no, that’s, eh?」

「I don’t know if anything would change with yourto recall』isn’t an attitude you should be taking?」

「……」

As I was unable to reply anything, Kawaka

「…Well, your case is a special one, but you know, people that experienced a long term mee to regain memories it’s often pretty trivial」

「…Is that, so」

「Surely there are a lot of troubles, but do your best, big brother」

A waitress brought Kawaka Here are rib steak and large rice」

「Today as well let’s do our best ai for a scoop, ku meat on the iron plate in front of her, Kawaka both of her hands and co away all the serious mood

A second later I remember that『kumiko』was the first name of Kawakami-san

「Uuhm, this, this, this is what I wanted to eat after all So thather cut the reat relish, all I could do was keep quiet

☆

After that, Kawaka only a few parting words

Shortly after, I rejoined with Mai and since it was getting late we started to head home

Rattled by the train, by the tis were dyed in red by the sun, that already was quite low

Holding hands, alking together on a path illuminated by a red sun

『Wouldn’t she worry evenbrother』

I was ru on my short conversation with Kawakami-san

（Mai looked dependent on me only because she orried about rew unstable

However, what if that instability leaning towards dependence, was the result of the fear that I ?」

「M? Ah, no, I was just thinking about so next to rasp was as warm as always but it felt very cold

「…Brother, you couldn’t get a change of pace today?」

「Me Are you reluctant about regaining your asp in surprise

「Mai cares very very deeply for her brother I can see that you always look a little depressed when you coetic towards Yuuto-san」

Stopping, Mai looked at me worried

「Brother, if you don’t want to remember, I think it’s fine not to force yourself… No matter what others say Mai is on your side Mai does not want Brother to get hurt Memories associated with such injuries must be awful Matters related to the incident should be left to the police There is no need for Brother to overextend yourself」

「……」

She saw right through h rip on ether with me When you are with Mai you should set scolded by h」

Such Mai looked far more likely to disappear than me

「…Sorry, Imy hands full with Mai? What a nice delusion）

Made wrong conclusions on my own and then used the

Aaah, just how spineless I acted I’onna be fine Because no onna be by ht, if I can’t do it, then what kind of a brother I aain face forward

What scary is still scary but…

I’ thatiain』

I suddenly re

（…Is this the time to be afraid? Isn’t this where I should shoill?）

Toainto teret rid of my anxiety I will close the case and tell Mai that I will never disappear again

About that bloodstained knife as well, I should face it without running away

I have to put an end to all of it, so we can walk forward

At that time, I truly had faith in such misled determination
