Chapter 7 : Finale and Another Starting Point
Next ashi+ Taichi discovered the witness of his and Kiriyama's chaos yesterday in a completely unexpected place
That was because the president of Class 1C Fujishi+irl in a park yesterday night?” It was alleged that the park was part of the walking route of Fujishi+)
”W-What are you saying, Fujishi+o there yesterday”
Of course, Taichi decided to beat around the bush Taichi felt he was in some ill-fated relationshi+p with Fujishi+ma lately
”Really? Wasn't Yaegashi+-kun and a petite long-haired girl bunching up at the park yesterday?”
”We didn't bunch up”
”We didn't bunch up?”
Fujishi+htened up sharply
”N-No That was a rammatical problem”
”Oh~? Perhaps I didn't see very clearly because of the diht have mistook you; if that's the case, I'm sorry for my accusation”
Although he didn't want to set Fujishi+ her apologise for it
”I thought I caught you cheating”
Fujishi+ma turned her head to a side and said lowly
There were ry at, so this relieved Taichi's remorse
”Forget it Right, I want to ask youYaegashi+-kun, have you been acting a bit weird lately?”
”Oh! Is it so? I was like this before”
”Oh Also, Inaba-san and Nagase-san see to the same club, so as the class president, I want to knohat happened”
”Nothing happened Mmm After all, our first year is already half over, our relationshi+ps have become better so we showed different facets of ourselves Is this what happened?”
”Really? Then it's good Well, I will be sure to find actual evidence for your mistakes; after that, you're doomed”
After e to Taichi, Fujishi+ her s
At that ase Iori came by and seized the seat in front of Taichi
She fixed her eyes on Taichi for no apparent reason
”Was that not Taichi? A petite long-haired girl Is that Yui?”
”Y-You heard all of that? Ayahh, there are petite long-haired girls everywhere”
Being seen his getting away, Taichi could only defend himself to dispatch her
”If that's true, then leave it Whether or not it was Taichi has nothing to do withrandom stuff?”
Pouting her lips, Nagase didn't seeood mood
If there weren't anything special, all the Cultural Research Club ht after school The only way to preventpeople in one room
What they each do in the room is different: Inaba Hia, Kiriya revision and preparing for his lessons, and Aoki was left doing nothing but interfering others; I wish someone would play with him
That day, Taichi worked on his schoolwork dilligently to try to habitualise it; Aoki also paid heed to his schoolwork (maybe it was because he needed to hand in a report the day after) Inaba peeked at the two, and continued typing on the keyboard
After a while Nagase and Kiriyama entered the clubroom
”Hi~!”
Nagase threw her bag on the sofa and headed towards it
She shouted ”Hi, Taichi!” on her way and slapped Taichi on his back
”Why are you using that 'this is the first tireet o”
”But by this at for the first time today”
”I didn't say anything Shouldn't this be a probles?”
This girl is so carefree This may even be enviable in Taichi's eyes
”Hi Taichi!”
This time the same part of his back was slapped even harder
”Ouch!”
Taichi couldn't help to screa in front of hi
”Yo, Kiriyama,” Taichi replied with a smile
They looked at their faces for a while At the sa Taichi's back
”It's okay to stop now”
That being said, Kiriyama stopped her combo Taichi was sure his back had turned red
”Let me tell you, Taichi I may beco; let's talk more on this when I'm free”
Kiriya her teeth while she spoke
”Hand it to me! If you need it, we can start now—”
”Not n-nowWait for next time!”
Kiriya her head potently and stopped Taichi as excitedly co forward
There was no need to be so kind, Taichi thought
Looking at Kiriyas had so to escape to a world man cannot enter
At this ase, Inaba, and Aoki-were all looking at him with awe
”What happened between Taichi and Yui?”
Aoki asked with an expression beco stern
”Eh, about that”
Taichi spied at Kiriyama and pondered what to start with
”Nothing! Nothing at all!”
Flushed and denying in a flurry, Kiriyaonally across that of Taichi and started to search for things in her bag
The three stared straight at her for a while
After that, Aoki turned his head and examined Taichi's and Kiriyama's face
Nagase covered half of her face with aat Taichi
The at
Taichi, however, couldn't tell thehed two times and faced the table anew
Kiriya at to the washroom!” and escaped from the clubroom
Seeing her leave, Nagase commenced,
”I saw Yui go to the washrooo already”
”What is going on, Taichi! Did so really happen yesterday? I feel that Yui is different from yesterday in our phone call,” Aoki asked promptly
”I-I didn't do anything great! We just had a chat about her troubles Aoki, you have also talked to Yui That was pretty much what happened”
”Just had a chat—How can that make your relationshi+p so close?! I had no idea crap, Is Taichithat you aren't aware of this!”
Aoki moaned of his distress
”If that is the case Iori! Let's start a battle !”
”I-I should have no relation with this whatsoever Or Ito do with me!”
Nagase moaned with Aoki This time Inaba, at the front, threw herself in
”Honestly, what happened between you two?”
Although reluctant, Taichi could feel 'I won't let you get away that easily' from Inaba's eyes
”AyahhI didn't really doKiriyama a little push and she marched onwards by herself”
Yes, this was the only thing that happened
Inaba blinked a few tihtly
”Soe can be helpful! But maybe it was Taichi that such a miracle could be made”
She looked as though she had a hts
Sain, Inaba leant on the back of the chair, gazed at the sky, and covered her eyes with her right hand, ,
”To me, all I could see were potential problems”
Inaba looked abnormally weak
Later Taichi iht
It was because on that day—Inaba collapsed
”So, let s while you sleep here obediently If MrGotou coreet him”
That being said, Ya teacher, left the Health Room
”Inaban I thought you were dead”
”Idiot, I was only dizzy I won't die yet”
While still lying on the bed, Inaba lightly replied to Nagase, as still worried and looked like she was about to cry Fro carried to the Health Rooase seemed to waver extremely
”Yah, scared the hell out of !”
Kiriyama also showed an extremely worn out expression
”My body has been a bit bad latelyBut it isn't a big deal In fact, there was no need to come to the Health Room”
”No, Inaba! You have to care for your own body!”
Being denounced by Aoki (and maybe this was the first time), Inaba, with an annoyed look, only said, ”Yes Yes” to dispatch him
After some time, the class teacher of Class 1C and also the advisor of the Cultural Research ClubIn other words, the s that are related to Inaba in the school, Gotou Ryusen, came to the Health Room
”Hey~ Inaba~ Are you all right? Oh, everyone is here”
A student collapsed—how could he speak so easily
”I've given you much trouble, Gotou You can now return”
”You should give more respect to teachersLeave it”
He didn't really care
”Eh~ Where is Ms Yamada?”
”She is busyEh, according to her, ”the reason why Inaba collapsed is because she accuh rest”
”Understood, Yaegashi+ So, what's the case now, Inaba?”
”No problem,” Inaba declared without hesitation
”ThenIf that's what Ms Yamada said, then there's no problem Eh~ It's rare that you five are all here, do you have anything to sayMmm?”
”Ah!” Kiriya came to her mind
”I didn't make this week's «Bunken News»!”
” ” ” ”Ah!” ” ” ”
The four ether
Seeether every day in the naet the work of the clubthe sole work that let others to confirnificance of the club
Then Gotou also screamed
”Ah, well, actually, I didn't get your draft before the usual deadline”
”Sorry, Gotou It's because we're busy in a large-scale interview recently It looks like our draft this on't get before the deadline Next month ill add more juice to it, okay?”
Inaba iot aith it How could she lie so easily?
”A large-scale interview, uh? But «Bunken News» are et it”
He didn't really care
Only at these times did Taichi want to thank Gotou for his sloppiness
After that, although she rejected our kindness, we still decided to take her ho happens Because Inaba proposed ”four persons to take ! At least ase on the scissor-paper-rock game took her home
The three of the to the nearest station from Inaba's house, and the 10-h she didn't look well, Inaba still acted like nothing had happened
”So, it's about time you make yourself clear Taichi, what happened between you and Kiriyama yesterday?”
Inaba suddenly said on their way
”What is what! There was no relation”
”The relation doesn't matter In short, if you don't tell ony~”
Inaba weakly leaned onto Taichi and passing her arm into his shoulder, exactly like a troublesome drunkard
”H”
”Besides~Iori, you also care, right?”
”Yeah, as good friends of they two, I have an obligation to know”
Seeing Nagase speaking with an intended tone, Inaba whispered ”Yah?” and felt puzzled It looked like Nagase’s reaction was different from that of her expectation
”Ah, it's not that strangeforget it Look, Iori also said it”
”But Kiriyama doesn't want to say it”
”Ah~ you are getting annoying! If it was so not nice to ask, ouldn't However I look at it, I think it could be heard So, tell us!”
”Y-Yeah If you don't tell, I et hurt badly and feel bad of the bonds of us fiveand then lay sick on a bed~”
”E-Even Iori wants to hear it so badly Hey!”
”Asshe say so, I also”
It was Nagase as acco Inaba; but Inaba weakened her voice and didn't continue to talk She showed an expression of depressionWas her body unwell again? But it looks like it was not the case
Taichi wanted to ask Inaba about this, but before he could, Inaba quickly changed back to her usual look
”In conclusion, if you don't tell us, I will shout 'Ayahh~ He is a pervert~!'”
It appears that I can't withstand their pressure anymore
Taichi didn't mention the details He only concisely told them what he did that let Kiriyama overcome her trauma
”Bahahahaha, how did you think of that?! 'A fool that loves to sacrifice hi shock therapy! Nyaaa~ I'm impressed”
Inaba's reaction was as expected
But Nagase's reaction was different from Inaba, which made Taichi puzzled
”Although I knew Yui was not that good at dealing with boys I wouldn't have iined that this was so serious a phobia that she couldn't even touch boys How could I possibly not figure this out”
Nagase drooped her head and swung it Her silky hair became a total mess
”I can't even beco so hard”
Did she really have to say it to this point?
What caused her to dig so deep?
Although Taichi didn't know the reason, he said,
”Nagase, listen to me”
Taichi spied at Nagase's expression only to see her vibrantly lifting up her head After confir her watery eyes, eyes that were as beautiful as jewels and reflecting his own ie, he spoke to her
”I think that the last thing Kiriyaonized, worried or embarrassed for her”
It was because I saw the crying face of Kiriyaht
