Fumiko: "..."
Aine: "Oh, over there! Fumiko-san is there!"
Tomoe: "Got it. Hurry and change the shard."
Aine: "Oh, yes!"
*Aine fashioned Douzaki's shard into an arrow. In that time, I took aim at Douzaki's back as she ventured off into the distance.*
Aine: "I finished! Please and thank you!"
Tomoe: "..."
*I took the sh... |
Fumiko: "..."
Fumiko: "I wonder what that was earlier?"
*I felt something in my back... or maybe my chest? I just sort of choked up all of a sudden...*
Fumiko: "Oh, an email."
*I checked my cell phone, and it was from Misato. The moment I saw her name, my chest pricked with pain.*
Fumiko: "Hm? Why does my chest hurt so... |
*I wrote him an email.*
*"If it's all right with you, please come online tonight."*
*We met on the net, so I thought we should talk there one more time...*
*I started up the messenger, and Kogakura-kun was already online.*
Good evening.: koga156
*γγγγγγ*
Good evening. Sorry to call out of the blue like that.: UMIKOF
*γ... |
Aine: "Tomoe-san, have you heard?"
Tomoe: "That Douzaki and Kogakura started dating?"
*Just by seeing Aine's face, I could tell exactly what she was going to say.*
Aine: "Oh, so you knew?"
Tomoe: "Are you satisfied now?"
Aine: "Yes! Since Fumiko-san and Kogakura-san are both happy now."
Tomoe: "But isn't there someone ... |
*Kogakura-kun and I were alone in the classroom after school.*
Shougo: "Not going home with Nishimachi today?"
Fumiko: "Yeah. Misato said she had something to do today, and went on without me."
*I began spending less time with Misato ever since Kogakura-kun and I started dating.*
*I couldn't breathe when I was with her... |
*That was three days ago, and I hadn't spoken to Misato since. She ignored me whenever we saw each other.*
*That was only natural. I had betrayed her in such a horrible way.*
Fumiko: "..."
*Things couldn't stay this way. I had to talk to her.*
*I visited her classroom during break time, and Misato was sitting alone at ... |
Misato: "Hey, hey?"
Fumiko: "Yeah?"
Misato: "Did something happen between you and Kogakura-kun recently?"
*Misato mused aloud as we were walking home together. It was unusual for her to make such an anxious face.*
Fumiko: "Uh-uh, why? Nothing worth mentioning."
Misato: "Really? Then maybe we could all eat lunch togethe... |
Misato: "Ta daaaa!"
*Misato opened the lid to the boxed lunch. In that moment, Kogakura-kun's face sparkled.*
Shougo: "Oh, it's wonderful this time too!"
Misato: "Ehehe, I made it by hand again. Oh, but I did have help..."
*Misato looked my way.*
Fumiko: "I lent her a hand, but it was mostly Misato."
*I actually helped... |
Aine: "Ah, it looks like bad weather tomorrow."
*Aine was looking at the laptop screen.*
*It appeared she'd reached the point where she could check the weather online. The Internet had taken root in her daily life in the blink of an eye.*
Tomoe: "Isn't it about time you returned that to Nakizaki?"
Aine: "Huh?! What wil... |
Tomoe: "It's been a long time since you've prepared your own dinner."
*When I went to return Nakizaki's PC, I remembered that today was her parents' anniversary. They were out eating as a family.*
Aine: "If you take away my PC _and_ dinner, I will die."
Tomoe: "Should I try it out?"
Aine: "Y-You cannot do that! Murderi... |
Aine: "I am so happy. We were able to buy cheap meat."
Tomoe: "For all that effort, we didn't save any money since we still went with the better meat."
Aine: "We got better meat for the same price, so what is the harm?
Tomoe: "Why are you acting like a gourmet when you'd be fine without eating, period?"
Aine: "Deliciou... |
*It happened one year ago.*
Drunk: "Hey, come'n have a drink 'ith me!"
???: "P-Please stop..."
Drunk: "What's'a matter? Just fer a little. Keep me comp'ny!"
Drunk: "I've been so lonely since m'wife divorced me. Gimme some comfort."
*One night when I was out at the station, I got cornered by a nasty drunk.*
Drunk: "C'mo... |
Masahiko: "..."
*The Student Council president made it part of his daily routine to patrol the school during lunch break. It reminded me a lot of the "grand rounds" they performed on a medical drama I had seen recently.*
*Of course, I was the only one walking with him.*
Masahiko: "...Hm?"
Masahiko: "Hey, you."
*The boy... |
Masahiko: "Be sure to lock up, then."
Mizuki: "Yes, please leave it to me. Good work today."
Mizuki: "..."
Mizuki: "...Phew."
*I made sure the president was gone and let out a sigh. At last, another day was over.*
*The time I spent by the president's side was precious. I was happy all the while, of course, but the stra... |
Tomoe: "Oh, darn."
*I realized I had forgotten something at school after making it down the hill.*
Tomoe: "I forgot my chemistry notebook."
Naruko: "We were given chemistry homework, you know?"
Tomoe: "Yeah, this isn't good. I've gotta go back to get it."
*I had to climb this hill again? Remembering after reaching the ... |
*The sky had gone dark. Looks like I was right in losing any hope of making it home while it was still light out.*
Mizuki: "..."
*Worse yet, this woman remained silent the entire time, even though she was the one who asked me to join her.*
Tomoe: "So, what did you want to talk about?"
*I broke the ice as a last resort.... |
*It was now quite late, so my feet felt heavy by the time I was finally on my way home.*
Tomoe: "Fukue and Kojirou-sensei, huh?"
Mizuki: "Yes."
*She, Mizuki Nose, nodded with a stern face. This didn't seem to be a joke.*
*If this _were_ some bad joke, Fukue would probably murder her for it.*
Tomoe: "Does that mean Fuku... |
Tomoe: "I'm home."
Aine: "Ah, Tomoe-san, welcome back!"
*Oh, I see. _This_ is what had possessed me.*
Aine: "I started eating without you~ I am already on my third helping. Omnom, om..."
*Nakizaki must have brought it over. Aine was eating to her heart's content.*
*I admired how delicious she made the meal seem while e... |
Tomoe: "Hm..."
Naruko: "What's wrong?"
Tomoe: "...Oh, nothing."
*I couldn't tell Nakizaki, either. This was another factor that weighed heavily on my mind.*
*Keeping a secret all on your own was a bigger burden than you'd expect.*
Kiyohito: "What's up? If you've got a funny story to tell, let me in on it~"
*A funny sto... |
Mizuki: "I just had a great idea! Let's hold a birthday party for the president!"
Mizuki: "We'll invite Tatsumiya-sensei, too, and get them closer together!"
*Nose looked triumphant, like she'd just had a grand epiphany.*
Tomoe: "A birthday party, huh? Has an elementary school feeling to it."
Mizuki: "Oh, are birthday ... |
*Kojirou-sensei was out in the schoolyard.*
Tomoe: "Sensei, what are you doing?"
Kojirou: "Oh, Tomoe?"
Kojirou: "Take a look. Tasty, don't you think?"
Tomoe: "Huh?"
*I followed his gaze. There were several Volleyball Club members running around the sporting grounds.*
Kojirou: "Which number do you like, Tomoe? I think n... |
Naruko: "A birthday party for the Student Council president?"
Naruko: "Why do we have to do something like that?"
*Nakizaki hated Fukue, and didn't even try to hide her resentment.*
Tomoe: "Come on, don't say that. Nose said he wanted to do it, so let's help him out."
Naruko: "The secretary? Hm..."
*Nakizaki was too ca... |
Masahiko: "Is it true you spotted a suspicious person?"
Mizuki: "It's true! This way, this way!"
Masahiko: "Right."
Mizuki: "This is the classroom!"
Masahiko: "Hey, wait! Jumping in without a plan is dangerβ"
Masahiko: "Ah...?!"
Everyone: "Student Council President, happy birthday~!!"
Masahiko: "..."
*Fukue looked like... |
Masahiko: "Ugh, it's cold..."
*Fukue huddled up a bit with his back to the northern wind.*
*We took Nose to the infirmary and on the way back, for one reason or another, came up to the roof.*
*It was just Fukue and me. We left Kojirou-sensei to watch over Nose.*
Tomoe: "It's good that Nose seems to have calmed down."
M... |
*Plang!*
*The arrow pierced the target and sunk into the spot I had aimed for.*
*I grabbed and nocked another arrow. My body was practically moving robotically.*
*Try as I might to focus, something else was running through my mind.*
*Fukue's heart might already be fractured.*
*I drew the bow. I imagined a cup filled to... |
Masahiko: "Hey, you. Regulations state you must have your shirt buttoned all the way to the top."
Boy: "I-I'm sorry."
Masahiko: "Girl over there: perms are prohibited."
*Fukue was patrolling the halls with gusto again today. As always, Nose was trailing behind him.*
Aine: "..."
*Aine was staring at Fukue from a distanc... |
Mizuki: "The president's house?"
Tomoe: "Yeah."
Mizuki: "It's in the Yamanote residential district."
Tomoe: "Hm, a well-to-do guy just like he looks, huh?"
*Fukue had said he confessed to his first love in "the usual park."*
*If Fukue's house was in Yamanote, there was only one park he could have meant.*
Tomoe: "I thin... |
Masahiko: "..."
Aine: "The president looks like he is alone right now. This is your chance."
Tomoe: "Yeah."
*From the rooftop, we could see Fukue sitting alone inside one of the classrooms. I could aim at him from this position.*
Tomoe: "Here we go."
Aine: "Yes!"
*I took Fukue's shard from Aine after she formed it into... |
*The shard we once again recovered was floating on the table.*
Aine: "What should we do with this...?"
Tomoe: "Yeah..."
*It was less a question of "what we should do" than whether I could actually return it at all. To fully consider how the person feels...*
*They made it sound so simple, but the hearts of those in love... |
Tomoe: "Let's return the shard."
*Aine said nothing in return, but did flash me a delighted smile.*
*Would I be able to return the shard this time? That part still worried me.*
Tomoe: "Well, I'll just give it my best shot." |
Tomoe: "There's no way I can do it. I can't return the shard to Fukue's heart."
Aine: "Is that so...?"
*Aine looked discouraged, but didn't argue. She likely understood that this was a difficult matter for a human.*
Tomoe: "Besides, what would happen when it's returned?"
*Fukue's sexual orientation had caused him to su... |
Masahiko: "..."
*The situation was the same as yesterday. Fukue was alone in the classroom, and it was so early in the morning that there was nobody anywhere near his vicinity, either.*
Aine: "Tomoe-san."
*Aine gave me an encouraging gaze.*
Tomoe: "Phew..."
*I took the arrow from her and concentrated on the feelings wi... |
Masahiko: "..."
*Fukue was there. He had regained the heart shard he had lost.*
*Despite all his grumbling about us being on the roof, he stood there like it was nothing, and gazed out at the cityscape.*
Tomoe: "What's wrong? You look kind of down."
*Fukue turned around when I called to him, and looked instantly annoye... |
*Sensei was on the roof with an unlit cigarette in his mouth. He looked conflicted and toyed with the real, nicotine-infused cigarette pack in his hand.*
Masahiko: "..."
*Fukue walked up to him, while Nose and I hid and watched from afar.*
Masahiko: "Sensei."
*Fukue called out to him.*
Kojirou: "Ah..."
*Sensei panicked... |
Masahiko: "Ah. I got shot down."
*Fukue stared up at the evening sky as he walked. Was it just my imagination, or did he sound refreshed?*
Tomoe: "You went down commendably."
Masahiko: "Hmph. This is a complete downer."
Mizuki: "But, President, you look happy."
Masahiko: "In what way do I look 'happy'? This is the face... |
Kojirou: "Oh, this is what you were like as a kid, Fukue?"
*Sensei was holding an old photo. Fukue had brought a picture of himself from when he was young.*
Mizuki: "Wow, you had wrinkles at this age."
*A young Fukue was pictured in the photo, wrinkles sturdily chiseled upon his forehead.*
*It was strange how adorable ... |
Masahiko: "Hey, button your shirt up all the way."
Masahiko: "Your skirt is short."
*A lot had happened over the past few days, but the Student Council president was acting the same as always. No less from the steel-hearted man.*
*Nose was there by his side again today, too. She may have been worried about what had hap... |
Masahiko: "Why did you bring me here?"
Mizuki: "I'm sorry."
*I was too nervous to come up with a clever excuse. It felt like my heart would leap out of my throat if I opened my mouth too much. Of course, it might explode before it got that far.*
Masahiko: "Didn't you have something to discuss? Speak up."
Mizuki: "I-I'm... |
Tomoe: "Hm, that sure sounds like Fukue."
*He wouldn't confess because he'd made up his mind not to, huh? That was so like him. That was certainly one way to lead your life.*
Mizuki: "Are you really sure this was for the best?"
Tomoe: "It's fine."
*I could say that with confidence. After all, it was something Fukue had... |
Masahiko: "...Hmph, not here today?"
*I was satisfied when I saw that the rooftop was deserted. It _was_ off-limits, after all.*
*What had happened the other day must have had an impact on me. My strong obsession was slowly fading away.*
*However, rules were rules. As long as regulations stated that the roof was off-li... |
Masahiko: "...Hmph, not here today?"

Erich: "You met black angels?"
*Erich and the others were surprised when they heard the news.*
Menes: "Is that so...?"
Licha: "..."
*It was a little bizarre how surprised they were, and the mood became heavy almost instantly.*
Aine: "What is the matter?"
Erich: "Everything went all right?"
Aine: "Huh? How do you mean?"... |
*The church stood there like a bastion against the darkness.*
Tomoe: "This place is..."
*I stopped in my tracks. This church was my Achilles' Heel, and I had avoided it for ages now. How long had it been?*
*I'd heard the building had been renovated. Compared to how it was in the past, it _was_ completely different, and... |
Erich: "Leave."
Erich: "Come on! What was that about?! He sounded so cocky!"
Menes: "You _did_ end up leaving just like he told you to."
Erich: "It's not like I ran away or anything. I just didn't want to see his face anymore."
Tomoe: "You really hate him, huh?"
Erich: "Isn't that obvious? After all, he's..."
Tomoe: "A... |
Tomoe: "..."
Minamo: "Sempai, are you all right?"
*Wakamatsu spoke to me all of a sudden.*
Tomoe: "...What do you mean?"
Minamo: "You're kind of making a scary face right now. What are you looking at?"
*Wakamatsu looked down at the ground where I had been shifting my attention.*
Minamo: "Nothing's wrong, right? It's li... |
Tomoe: "Based on the address, I guess it's around here?"
Aine: "Indeed."
*I asked Aine to get Wakamatsu's address from Sensei.*
*The address would suggest it was a private home on a block somewhere nearby, but...*
Aine: "Ah! Is that it?"
Tomoe: "Hm?"
Tomoe: "This?"
*What a huge house. There were a lot of prominent home... |
*People were gathering in the hallway when I arrived at school.*
Aine: "What is that?"
Naruko: "It looks like they posted the results of the mock exams from the other day."
Aine: "What are 'mock exams'?"
Tomoe: "You took them a while back, remember? They're tests."
Aine: "Ah, I did, I did. The one where you fill in the... |
*All that could be heard in the room was the sound of my brush running over my canvas.*
*Winter was perfect. Above all else, it was quiet.*
*In the summer, the cicadas were noisy. Between the harsh sunlight and humid air which practically clung to your skin, it was very unpleasant.*
*In autumn, nothing grated the ears ... |
Marika: "..."
*After school, I went down the long, steep road alone.*
*After a short while, there was a fork in the road. If I turned right, I could go home. If I turned left, I could follow the path to Tsuji-san's home.*
*It had been quite some time since I'd stopped going right.*
*As far as my parents knew, I was stu... |
Sousuke: "Were you seen by my neighbors?"
*Tsuji-san muttered, "What a bother," to himself as he scrunched up his forehead, annoyed.*
*He was pretty creepy, too. It was almost like he thought me visiting him was a bad thing or something.*
Marika: "How is that a bother, exactly?"
*I may have sounded a bit accusatory.*
S... |
*We picked up where we left off again today. I acted as a model as Tsuji-san drew me in silence.*
Marika: "I had a fine arts lesson today. I never took any interest in it before since it has nothing to do with exams, but lately it's been sort of fun. I wonder if it's your influence?"
Sousuke: "Hmm..."
*I was trying to ... |
Sousuke: "It's gotten really late, hasn't it? Will you be okay alone?"
Marika: "Would you walk me home if I said I wouldn't be?"
*He had never once escorted me home. I always intruded on him without permission, then was often driven out.*
Sousuke: "..."
*Sure enough, Tsuji-san didn't answer. He was probably unsure of h... |
Tomoe: "Huh? You mean _that_ Takashiro?"
*This was honestly a surprise. I didn't expect the name of that aforementioned genius, who was ranked number one in her grade, to come up.*
Kiyohito: "Sounds like there are rumors going around that she's working as a call girl."
*Kiyohito had caught wind of that disquieting rumo... |
Erich: "Prodigies being call girls isn't that unusual, is it? There are girls who do it because of stress and whatnot."
Erich: "Munch, munch, munch..."
*That wasn't a very angelic thing for her to say, especially while she was eating.*
Menes: "Being a call girl isn't good. As an angel, I can't accept loveless sex just ... |
Aine: "Ah, there she is!"
*Aine signaled us from her hiding spot.*
Aine: "She appears to be heading that way. Let us go!"
Tomoe: "This makes us seem like stalkers..."
Naruko: "Y-Yeah..."
Aine: "By that logic, all angels are stalkers. We are always watching over humans."
Tomoe: "Hm..."
*I wasn't entirely satisfied with ... |
*Thanks to the gossip-loving woman, we were able to procure quite a bit of information.*
*There were a whole host of rumors, so it was difficult to determine what was the truth.*
Naruko: "It kind of sounds like everyone in the neighborhood dislikes the guy in that house, and have been spreading some really nasty rumors... |
Kiyohito: "Looks like there _are_ a lot of rumors floating around about Takashiro, huh?"
*Kiyohito had so many connections, it took him no time to get to the bottom of things.*
Kiyohito: "She's always been anti-social. Doesn't seem like anyone's come to her defense, either."
Aine: "Oh no! Everyone believed those wild r... |
Aine: "Marika-san. Marika Takashiro-san!"
*Aine called out to Takashiro-san as she walked out from the school gate.*
*Takashiro stopped, looked at Aine and me, and instantly looked suspicious.*
Marika: "...Who're you?"
Aine: "Could we talk to you for a minute?"
Marika: "So, what'd you want to talk about?"
*Takashiro as... |
Marika: "...I feel stupid."
*Even I thought I was being foolish for blurting out how I felt to two people I didn't even know.*
*Still, putting it into words had taken a huge weight off my shoulders.*
*I looked at my watch.*
Marika: "Is it too late to go now...?"
*He'd obviously turn me away if I visited at this hour, b... |
Marika: "..."
Girl: "...What was that?"
*During lunch break, my classmates' hushed whispers caught my attention. I expected my name to come up in their conversations.*
*Your own name was something anyone would notice even if they weren't actively paying attention.*
Girl: "Those are total rumors. Come on... No way..."
M... |
Marika: "..."
*I couldn't get in the mood to draw today, so I decided to be a model instead.*
*I didn't even try to make any wisecracks at his expense, and just sat there perfectly still.*
Sousuke: "..."
*It was nice having him gaze at me so seriously.*
*I loved the way he looked as he drew me.*
*But it kind of ticked ... |
*I'd finally gone and done it. I loathed myself so much, I wanted to disappear.*
*Takashiro was curled up in a blanket sleeping on the studio floor. It was starting to get late, and it would be bad if she didn't wake up and head home soon.*
*But I'd found myself thinking the childish thought that I wanted to keep watch... |
Sousuke: "Are you sure you don't want me to walk you home?"
*I offered since it was already pitch black outside, but Takashiro unexpectedly refused.*
Marika: "It's embarrassing."
Sousuke: "What's there to be shy about at this point?"
Marika: "You don't get it. That's not how a woman's heart works."
Sousuke: "If I did, ... |
Sousuke: "..."
Marika: "Tsuji-san? Are you here?"
Sousuke: "..."
Marika: "Come on, Tsuji-san!"
*Her voice, which she initially kept low out of concern for my neighbors, grew louder.*
*I stayed seated with my back to the wall and didn't move.*
*She would likely go around to the backyard and knock on the studio's glass w... |
*...*
*Someone was there. A woman? Takashiro?*
Sayoko: "Let's break up."
*No, it wasn't Takashiro. This was... Sayoko-san?*
Sousuke: "Break up? Where did that come from...?"
Sayoko: "You wind up doing nothing but run away whenever we're together, don't you, Sousuke-kun? I just think it'll hurt you if things continue as... |
Sousuke: "...Hm...?"
*Before I knew it, it had gotten bright out.*
Sousuke: "Just a dream...?"
*A dream of that time in my life. A bitter memory.*
*Sayoko-san left me, and I launched myself into art once again. Now that I was alone, art was all I had. It was a common story.*
*I drew like mad. I drew, drew, and drew som... |
*I hadn't expected Takashiro to show up today, but here she was.*
Naruko: "Takashiro-san."
Aine: "You came for us?"
Marika: "I never intended to, and didn't want to either, but..."
*Her expression had become quite haggard over the last few days. I could make out distinct bags under her eyes.*
Tomoe: "Did something happ... |
Marika: "Sorry for crying like that earlier."
*Takashiro apologized as she walked. She didn't go so far as to bow, but was still behaving commendably.*
Naruko: "Don't worry about it."
Aine: "That is right. I am glad you came to visit us."
Marika: "I have nowhere else to go."
*Takashiro probably had no one else to rely ... |
Naruko: "Are you okay?"
*Nakizaki was worried and asked Takashiro, who had been trudging along.*
Marika: "Yes, I'm fine."
*Takashiro appeared indifferent. Compared to her earlier emotional breakdown, she was now calm and collected. It was almost like she was an entirely different person.*
Marika: "Sorry for losing my c... |
Marika: "..."
*The next day, Takashiro attended class. It didn't look like anything had changed at first glance.*
Tomoe: "She looks fine, doesn't she?"
Aine: "Do you really think so? Even after seeing how she was yesterday?"
Tomoe: "..."
*I couldn't deny Aine's accusation. There was no way she was all right after what ... |
Aine: "I am positive we should return it! Do you not agree, Naruko-san?"
Naruko: "Huh? I... Yeah, since I saw what happened yesterday."
Aine: "See!"
*Aine's expression filled with triumph.*
Tomoe: "Isn't that a better reason _not_ to give it back to her?"
Aine: "Huh? How do you mean?"
Tomoe: "How many times are you pla... |
*In the end, she forced me to tag along.*
Naruko: "You're sure he's home?"
*Nakizaki asked anxiously. There was no sign that anyone was living here, and seemed unoccupied at a glance.*
Tomoe: "What should we do?"
Aine: "Let us go."
*Aine ignored all the signs to the contrary, walked up to the front door, and rang the d... |
Naruko: "Ick, it stinks..."
*Nakizaki grimaced the instant we went inside. The reason was clear. It reeked of alcohol.*
*Upon closer inspection, empty liquor bottles were littered all over the floor.*
*And the origin of that smell was rolling around with said bottles.*
Sousuke: "Urg..."
*An unshaven, grungy-looking mid... |
Naruko: "I wonder what we should do about those two."
Tomoe: "Yeah..."
*If we wanted to respect Tsuji-san's feelings, then we probably shouldn't return Takashiro's shard.*
*But if we wanted to respect Takashiro's feelings instead, then we _should_ send it back.*
Aine: "I really do believe that the shard should be retur... |
Tomoe: "I understand. Let's return the shard to Takashiro."
Aine: "Really?!"
*A delighted smile came to Aine's face.*
Naruko: "So that means Takashiro-san will regain her feelings for Tsuji-san, right? You don't think the same thing will happen again?"
Tomoe: "I don't know. But..."
*The image of Takashiro sobbing her e... |
Tomoe: "I'll leave them be after all."
Aine: "Huh? Why?!"
Tomoe: "If we return Takashiro's shard, we'll just be tampering with their relationship again."
Tomoe: "Wouldn't that mean we'd be ignoring Tsuji-san's decision to put Takashiro ahead of himself?"
Aine: "Well, but..."
Tomoe: "Tsuji-san stepped aside believing Ta... |
Aine: "There she is, over there."
*Takashiro was sitting alone in the schoolyard looking zoned out. She must not have wanted to be in the classroom.*
*Was it because she felt like she had lost the place she had truly belonged?*
Aine: "Tomoe-san."
*Aine handed over Takashiro's shard which had been formed into an arrow. ... |
*The school day was now over, and it was that depressing time where I had to go home again.*
Marika: "..."
*I looked forward to taking this path until just a while ago. It used to feel like I was walking on air! But now, it was just depressing.*
*This intersection was the most depressing part of all. If I turned right,... |
*It was warm inside. There was the nostalgic smell of oil.*
Sousuke: "Here."
*He covered my head with a towel. It was somewhat starchy and had an awful texture to it.*
Marika: "At least use some fabric softener."
Sousuke: "A man's skin has no need for anything that fancy."
Marika: "You're practically admitting you have... |
*I did not go to Tsuji-san's house after that.*
*My heart still ached whenever I thought about him, but I could feel the pain subsiding a little at a time. In a way, that was actually kind of depressing.*
*Because I now understood that people's feelings were something that could surely change.*
Marika: "The weather is ... |
*After that, I frequently visited Tsuji-san's home.*
Marika: "Hey, what do you think of this piece? Can you see the resemblance?"
Sousuke: "What's with this hippo?"
Marika: "It's not a hippo; it's you, Tsuji-san."
Sousuke: "Huh? This is me?"
Sousuke: "Sleeptalk when you're asleep. This doesn't look like me at all."
Mar... |
Marika: "Zzz... Zzz..."
Sousuke: "Oh, are you asleep?"
Marika: "Zzz... Zzz..."
Sousuke: "Hey, wake up. You'll catch a cold if you sleep here."
Marika: "Mm... Mm..."
Marika: "Zzz... Zzz..."
*For a moment there, it looked like she was going to open her eyes, but she immediately closed them again. She was fast asleep.*
So... |
Sousuke: "Phew..."
*After the sun had long since set, I was finally home.*
Sousuke: "Talk about a crappy day."
*A confinement charge of all things...*
*Takashiro's parents had apparently spoken to the police. That was only natural given how she was hanging around here without letting them know.*
*Both of her parents ha... |
*After that, I started to draw here.*
*I came here during the long lunch breaks. I felt more relaxed as long as I wasn't in the classroom.*
*A number of people spoke to me, likely curious as to what I was doing.*
Girl: "Could I bother you for a moment?"
Marika: "Huh?"
Sasamoto: "I'm Sasamoto from the Art Club. Do you l... |
*And so, I finally made friends.*
Kojima: "Come on! It's not a kappa! Those are flowers!"
Sasamoto: "And I'm telling you, it's totally a kappa!"
*Sasamoto had apparently spoken to me in order to invite me to the Art Club, and now kept asking me at every opportunity.*
*Personally, I didn't think there was any use in joi... |
Sousuke: "Ugh..."
*The sound of the doorbell stirred me from my slumber. What happened this morning had apparently traumatized me.*
*I must have fallen asleep on the sofa at some point, and was chilled to the bone. It couldn't get any worse than this.*
Marika: "Ah, Tsuji-san!"
Sousuke: "Takashiro..."
*This was a shock.... |
Marika: "Aah, Tsuji-san... Aaah..."
*I ransacked Takashiro's insides with my towering member. She clamped down on me so hard it hurt.*
Marika: "Fwaah, aah... You can... do it, harder if you want..."
Sousuke: "Aargh, ooh... I can't move when you get so tight around me."
Marika: "No, ah... Mooore... I want to feel you, d... |
Marika: "Zzz... Zzz..."
Sousuke: "..."
*I slipped away from her side, careful not to wake her.*
*I got dressed, packed up the bare necessities, and grabbed my cash and credit cards.*
Sousuke: "Sorry about this."
*I said that softly to a sleeping Takashiro. I would leave this place so that she could stay.*
Sousuke: "Use... |
Marika: "Mm..."
Marika: "Huh...?"
*I felt a small tug at my left hand and woke up.*
Marika: "What could it be?"
*I took a look at my hand. For a brief moment, I thought there was something red tied around my pinky, but it must have been my imagination, as it instantly disappeared.*
Marika: "Weird. Wait..."
*I forgot fo... |
Marika: "I'm home!"
*I would come here every day. After all, this was where I belonged. It was a place I had finally obtained, and one that I had to protect.*
Marika: "It's about time I clean up. Tsuji-san will yell at me if he comes back."
Marika: "But before that, I'd better finish this painting."
*Despite not knowin... |
Oomura: "Hey, spread yer legs wider!"
Koyuki: "..."
*As instructed, I spread my legs. I felt Oomura's eyes coiling around the center like a snake.*
Oomura: "Yer so wet, it's like yah pissed yerself!"
*What a vulgar sneer. I couldn't stand the vulgar way he smirked and panted. I hated it so much that I wanted to puke.*
... |
*It was a hot summer day. The air conditioner in my room was busted, and I called a repairman.*
Oomura: "I'm the electrician..."
*The one who turned up was Oomura.*
*He had a stout, pump body. He reeked of sweat, and the state of his attire wasn't anywhere close to hygienic.*
*I felt internally repulsed that such a man... |
Koyuki: "..."
*I thought it had been closed off, but the rooftop was unlocked.*
*I had heard it was made off-limits, but it seemed this was being poorly enforced.*
*The city always looked so dingy during winter, although the same could be said of anywhere in this season.*
*But was it just my imagination, or did the sce... |
*As rare an event as it was, I went down the steep slope alone today.*
*People had been tagging along with me so often lately that it felt ridiculously quiet now that I was alone.*
Tomoe: "...Hm?"
*Was that Hisaka-san? She supposedly headed home a while ago. Why was she just standing there?*
Yuri: "..."
*She was lookin... |
Aine: "Mm, mmhhhm..."
*Krk, krk, krk...*
*Aine drew the bow. She was pulling so hard that her face turned beet red, but her form _was_ finally showing improvement.*
Aine: "Weh!"
Aine: "Ah! I hit it! I actually hit it!"
Tomoe: "Follow through."
Aine: "Ah..."
Tomoe: "What good does it do if you lose your composure simply... |
Aine: "Aww, my arms hurt..."
*Aine rubbed her arms incessantly. This morning's practice must have really done a number on her.*
*Neither Nakizaki nor Kiyohito were here; we were all alone.*
Aine: "I wonder if anyone will come for a consultation."
Tomoe: "People not showing up all the time is a good thing."
*I'd gotten ... |
Aine: "So you think she is being followed by some bad guy?"
Osamu: "Y-Yeah..."
*Despite being our senior, Mitsushima-san was cowering before us. His story went like this:*
*There were signs that a classmate of his was going out with some less than pleasant guy, and that this relationship was against her will.*
Aine: "H... |
*I was a coward.*
*I had been told ever since I was in elementary school that I was an effeminate weakling. I had always been chubby and kind of a softy. "Bullied" would be a good way to describe my childhood.*
*I was so dim-witted that I didn't even notice it, either.*
Osamu: "Haa, haa... After three years, I'm still ... |
Osamu: "..."
*Arie-san seemed to be waiting for someone in front of the station.*
*She stood out due to her school uniform, but luckily there were few people around at this time of day, so no one really paid her any mind.*
Osamu: "Th-That guy..."
*It was that man I had seen her with before. It occurred to me then that ... |
*At some point, the sky had gone dark.*
*To make things worse, it had started to rain, but I didn't feel like moving.*
Osamu: "..."
*I couldn't believe what I'd seen. I couldn't believe Arie-san had gone into a... love hotel with that man.*
*I thought it might be a nightmare and pinched my cheeks.*
*Squeeeeze...*
Osamu... |
