Chapter 22 (1/2)

On a certain day, I was being reee located at a remote mountain

Putting it simply, it said that if some accident happened and I was injured or killed, it was reement only stirred up o home

However, once I signed this, the only thing left to do for et in line and wait for my turn

“KYAAAAAAH!” a flying wo

Why did I have to go out oflike this?

I got the feeling that I was being put through so really unreasonable

And while I was feeling nervous, it becas to my body in no time I had no choice but to harden my resolve

I arrived at the designated point right in the e, took out my phone and started a video call with Maerly awaiting ee-jump

“Excuse e warned me, but before he could stop me, I jumped

I was tossed about in the air

My vision turned into so the surface of the river below the suspension bridge at an incredible speed My instincts toldto die

“UWAAAAAAAH!” I screamed pathetically as I fell, and then the wire stretched to its lih the sky

“KYAHAHAHAHA!” Ma else she was doing

“UWAAAAH!”

“KYAHAHAHA!”

“UWAAAAAAAH!”

“KYAHAHAHAHAHA!”

This process repeated itself several times, and then I finally came to a stop My body swayed like the pendulum of a clock, suspended by the rope

“Are you satisfied now?” I asked Mahtly unhappy voice

“Yeah, it was fun,” Mahted smile

One day, at ten o’clock in theto be so it for a moment, but in the end, I answered it

“There’s so I want you to help me with”

Those were Kaya the call

“What do you think I’ve been doing lately?” he asked

“From the bottom of my heart, I have no interest whatsoever,” I said

I wasn’t particularly interested in Kayaht he could just do what he wanted As long as he didn’t get me involved

“I’ my relations omen I want to break up with all of them”

Kayairlfriend His irlfriend” But on the other hand, he was popular with girls So, he et his hands on, and he soot himself into trouble, even if they only lasted a semester And for some reason, he had called me to say that he intended to break up with all of them

“There’s one problematic wos won’t be settled no matter what I say, so I want you to talk to her for me,” he said

“Look here…”

I couldn’t help but be exasperated Was there anything as insincere as having soirlfriend for you?

“In any case, I’ it,” I said

“… Say, Okada What should I do? I’ve been cornered I feel like I’ crazy,” Kayama said

His voice had suddenly becoh this phone conversation where I couldn’t see his face, I could tell how depressed he was

“Can you ive me some advice”

In the end, Kayareed to ive him advice

I was told that ereat a -side seat of a nearby fae fro, “I’m at the seat furthest inside, by the ” But Kaya in that spot instead

I knew that person very well

“Huh? Why are you here, Okada-kun…?”

It was my homeroom teacher, Yoshi+e-sensei For a moment, my head was filled with panic And then the worst-possible scenario occurred toa headache I really want to kill that guy, I thought

The reason was, Yoshi+e-sensei was crying She had been crying long before I came here

“Could it be that you were called out here by Kayama, Yoshi+e-sensei?” I asked

“Eh? … Yes, that’s right”

Yoshi+e-sensei had been using her phone right up until just before I arrived She was probably telling Kaya in

“Kayama can’t come So instead… I’ll hear you out,” I said

“Wow, Akira-kun has told you about his relationshi+p with me, Okada-kun He really looks down on people, doesn’t he?”

Yoshi+e-sensei called him Akira-kun, not Kayama-kun With that, I had no choice but to accept the situation

The wo to break up with, was our homeroom teacher, Yoshi+e-sensei

Aren’t you a little too lacking in integrity? I thought

“There is sos that is broken in hi to console Yoshi+e-sensei

Actually, I had no idea how to act in a situation like this I’d never even broken up with someone myself; how could I handle someone else’s breakup?

“In other words, he isn’t capable of honestly dating a living hu,” I continued “I once asked hia how many people he could date at the same time He doesn’t think of anyone but himself I came here today because he asked me to break up with you in his place, Sensei What do you think? He’s the worst, isn’t he?”

“Okada-kun, how can you speak of Akira-kun so badly?” Yoshi+e-sensei asked “Aren’t you two friends?”

“We’re not friends,” I said “We don’t really get along I’ with Kayama, because he’s a human from another world”

“Then why did you come here today, Okada-kun?”

“For me, Kayama isn’t a friend, but… a savior It’s difficult to explain, though But that’s all it is”

“I don’t understand,” Yoshi+e-sensei said, covering her face “When I look at Akira-kun, I so that ht just drop out and waste his life away I can’t help worrying about hio If I remember correctly, Akira-kun lost his older brother in an accident, didn’t he? I heard from hisfroht path And he attempted suicide at school once, didn’t he? Those kinds of reports get passed on froh school”

I suddenly felt the urge to laugh “Sensei, that’s alike atte suicide He’s like a solid mass of will to live He can live on his own even if you don’t worry about him, and he would never be influenced by other people anyway That’s why it’s alright That’s the only part about him I respect a little”

Yoshi+e-sensei made an expression that toldmade a fool of not only by Kayama-kun, but you as well, aren’t I? I’m really miserable, huh I’m so pathetic and helpless; I feel like I want to disappear”

“I’

“I was serious,” said Yoshi+e-sensei

“Kaya the rhyth fun of her I wanted to er and s

“Okada-kun, I have a favor to ask”

“What is it?”

“Can I pour my coke on you?”
