Teacher's Comment:
What happened to that 'I'll just write anything here as an answer' attitude you used to have?
“Practicing how to draw a tree”
“She was really bad at it to be honest, so bad that I couldn't tell what she was drawing even after looking at it for a while”
When she was young, Hi how to draw on the blackboard with all her effort No matter how bad, how clumsy she was at it, noat all on first glance, she worked so hard back then
Even if that was less, even foolish to others
But it really makes
“It really touched me”
No matter how bad, how clu
I can tell fro her best to express her 'thanks' No matter how , and erased it again, or whether it would be buried aes, she didn't mind at all
She wouldn't gain any merit out of this
nobody would thank her
She simply wanted to express the 'thanks' in her heart to that person, and practiced for that sake
Once I found how devoted Himeji-san can be to a certain cause, I started to find myself curious about her
“Did the feelings in Mizuki's drawing reach that teacher?”
“No, she didn't ed to do so”
I was curious as to what happened to that girl after that, so on the graduation day itself, I sneaked into the neighbouring classroom to check on that blackboard
But that blackboard never had the picture of the tree that girl practiced so hard to draw
“I have a very weak body, and I was hospitalized”
Once ere in the same class, I recalled the words she said when I chatted with her
“My body's weak, I'm sloitted, I'm clumsyso that's why I have to work harder”
I felt that she was 'a little weird' when she could say such a thing after so much effort had been wasted
But I rong That wasn't the case
“After we ended up in the same class, I visited Hi as she studied in the ward room”
How could she possibly have any thoughts after all her efforts had been wasted?
There was no way she could not have felt anything after her efforts were for naught despite so much effort
She went through lots of hardshi+ps, and she was so anguished that she was crying out sadly
She however gritted her teeth as she continued to do what she could do That's truly very noble
In my eyes, that Himeji-san back then really was someone admirable
Those efforts will definitely not be wasted, and I believed that what awaited this girl, orked hard and devoted herself so much, would never be hardshi+p alone I would never allow that
Right, that hat I thought
“And I ended up getting in her way! She entered class F in high school because of her weak body, and I ended up preventing her fro the fruits of her hard work!”
“Aki”
Hih school
She worked as hard as she did back then
She's as clumsy as she was back then
And like before—she didn't get any fruits from her hard work
“And that confession just now! There wasn't a need to confess tome!”
What did I do for her? I said that I was doing things for her sake, but didn't I end up frustrating her!?
“Aki”
I heard Minaentle voice
Before I know it, Mina onto mine
“I'm sorry I actually lied just now”
This sudden line caused ,
“lied?”
What did she lie about—
“Well, I just said that 'I confessed' already, didn't I? That was a lie to you I haven't confessed yet”
Minaless since I confessed already' when I apologized to her because of the diary, but now she's saying it's a lie
“Minami, why did you say that—”
“It's going to be the sa to confess to you now”
“Eh?”
Before I could understand what she was trying to say, Minaently that it never felt like it ended on my lips She then retreated, and smiled
“I like you, Aki, ever since the time ere in our First Years”
Her smile's so beautiful, and I can't help but be amazed by it
“Aki, you just said that Mizuki's confession wasn't real, right?”
I remain speechless, and Minami doesn't mind as she continues,
“Do you thinkyou just because you're dejected?”
I can only stand blankly, looking all disoriented because of this sudden happening
“If you don't believe, I can let you readall about you froan”
Minaht at me
I can tell fro that she really—likes me
Because of this, I kept listening to her quietly
“Aki, you can't lie when you confess to so to comfort you now, but if I just wanted to comfort you, I won't confess to you I confessed to you like this because I really like you”
We spent about 2 years together ever since we enrolled in Fuirl Minami is, how she really cares for her friends, how compassionate she is
But even so, she won't confess just for the sake of a friend She can only do so when she truly likes someone
“But I do find it a little annoying how you fidget around like this, and I really hate you for bla your actions”
After saying that, she stared at me with more conviction
“—and I really hate you when you said that a girl, who su”
“”
Minauilty
I do feel that she has s within that line she said
“I still remember the French words you said to me ere in our First Year, Aki”
Now that she mentioned the French words I said in our Freshot acquainted
When she told me later on that 'I mixed up French with Ger
“What you did back then was so clumsy and hard to understand, but I'm happy that you had the heart to do so You worked so hard for me like a clumsy kid”
Minami smiles as she says this
“Mizuki definitely thinks this too You're not good at studying, but you worked so hard for her sake How can she be troubled when she'll be happy about that instead You'll feel happy if it's for your sake too, right?”
Minami's words repeat themselves in my heart
—What will I think if it's me?
I already knew that Himeji-san's clumsy, but she really works hard
I was really attracted by how she reached to express her own thanks to someone
It didn't matter whether her efforts paid off I feel that the way she worked so hard is s for her
As Minami had said, while what I did was clumsy and hard to understand, but she's really happy that I made the effort to do so Himeji-san's the same too
Even if there's no good result fro so devoted and hardworking
In that case, Himeji-san and Minami's impression of me is—
“Aki, if you have the ti else Soht?”
If we're talking about Hi overseas, I think there's only the option of either 'watching her leave' or 'wanting to make her stay'
If it's for the sake of her future, I should smile and watch her leave It's not that it's a per as her parents remain in japan, there's still a chance that I'll meet her
If I try toabout what I want
A selfish thought of wanting to be with her, to laugh and cry with her, to be in this school with her every day
“Aki, do you know that Mizuki's not thinking that you're distracting her She's worried that 'you'll think you're obstructing her' if you know about her going overseas, and that you'll blame yourself”
Mina her stay'; she si, and tolddecisions
If she doesn't think that I' her, and she doesn't want to leave ether with us, as part of our regular gang, enjoying ourselves in school like usual every day
But we still have a long way to go in our lives later on If we live norht be able to live for another 60 years or ht decision to cut down on her future options just to be with her for a few more years?
“You have to think through this well, Aki You don't want to regret the choice you make after that”
Mina a reflection of myself
It's just as Minami had said; I don't have the ti more important to me than that, I have to choose the correct choice, but I have no idea what to choose at all
“HahaI really don't know”
I don't knohich option to choose
If I follow s for her sake, I should smile and watch her leave It's an overseas trip, but we still have chances to meet Minami ca overseas isn't a faraway thing for her
But I really wish to spend time in the sa in our lives, but to me, they're really important
Also, how do I respond to Minami and His either
I do have feelings for Hi as soender
Looking at how bad I a to punch myself
Shall I send His? There are reasons why I can't ignore them, but for me to make a decision is too—
“There's no time left”
