#character '*B' #character 'Kotomi' #character 'Voice' #character 'Ryou' <0000> // The fourth period lesson has started. <0001> // Though I'm usually lazy, I feel pretty lively right now. <0002> // I'm sure Kotomi is on her way to the library. <0003> // And all I could do is look at my teacher's back and curse as I waste my time. <0004> // He's not giving me a chance. <0005> // Anyway... it's pretty obvious that he's marking me. <0006> // It might be a bit risky to try and skip here. <0007> // In the end... I couldn't leave until lunch break. <0008> // To make matters worse, the lesson went five minutes over. <0009> // \{\m{B}} "Damn it..." <0010> // I quickly jump out of the room as soon as the teacher disappears.* <0011> // The bread counter has already become a battlefield. <0012> // All the popular bread was gone, and I didn't have much time to chat with the old lady. <0013> // I managed to find something of value somehow and then I bought it as if I was forced to. <0014> // I immediately run up the stairs. <0015> // As I near the library I feel a change in the atmosphere, something tense. <0016> // The note saying 'Closed' has changed into 'Open: Please be quiet'. <0017> // I leave the library as I read the warning. <0018> // I was thinking of peeking inside Class A but I abandoned the idea eventually. <0019> // I return to my classroom and eat the bread alone. <0020> // I bought something that Kotomi would like rather than what I prefer. <0021> // I spent the afternoon being bored with afternoon lessons too. <0022> // I don't even remember how many minutes I've been enduring this. <0023> // The bell rings, the lesson ends as I opened my eyes. <0024> // Homeroom is over, and students holding their bags were scattered about. <0025> // My head stayed drowsy as I watched them absent-mindedly. <0026> // I wonder what Kotomi is doing right now? <0027> // The library is... \pstill open even after school, so I guess I can't go there. <0028> // And we didn't really have an appointment, so she might not be where we usually meet. <0029> // However... I wonder if Kotomi plans to wait for me? <0030> // I try visualizing her. <0031> // And after all, I'm the only one who's satisfied by introducing her to some friends. <0032> // When I think about it, I might be bothering to her. <0033> // She has a terribly shy personality, and she has weak social skills. <0034> // It's possible that she decided she doesn't want to see me anymore. <0035> // \{Kotomi} "\m{B}-kun, good afternoon." <0036> // \{\m{B}} "........." <0037> // \{Kotomi} "Good afternoon." <0038> // \{\m{B}} "........." <0039> // \{Kotomi} "......... well." <0040> // \{Kotomi} "'\bGood afternoon?'"\u <0041> // \{\m{B}} "That's not it." <0042> // \{Kotomi} "??" <0043> // \{\m{B}} "And I was beginning to think how terribly shy you are... why do you look so calm entering someone else's classroom?" <0044> // \{Kotomi} "???" <0045> // \{\m{B}} "... well, you don't have to answer. My bad." <0046> // \{Kotomi} "\m{B}-kun is a bad person?" <0047> // \{\m{B}} "I'm a bad person generally speaking, but you sure are a strange person, there's no mistake about that." <0048> // \{Kotomi} "?" <0049> // \{Kotomi} "........." <0050> // \{Kotomi} "......... strange person?" <0051> // \{\m{B}} "Yeah, a really strange one." <0052> // I can see the remaining students inside the classroom were looking at us and I know they're chatting and asking about this new character Kotomi. <0053> // \{\m{B}} "... anyway, let's go elsewhere." <0054> // \{Kotomi} "?" <0055> // \{\m{B}} "Forget it, just come with me." <0056> // \{Kotomi} "Ah..." <0057> // Her cheeks suddenly turned red as I grab her wrist. <0058> // I lead this particular strange genius girl out of the room. <0059> // \{\m{B}} "I guess this place will be all right..." <0060> // I let go of her as we arrive at the usual corner in the hallway. <0061> // She is still blushing. <0062> // Thanks to that, I gave them some unnecessary thoughts. <0063> // \{\m{B}} "You really did go inside my classroom, huh." <0064> // \{Kotomi} "Well..." <0065> // \{\m{B}} "Wouldn't you normally be embarrassed?" <0066> // \{Kotomi} "I was in a daze..." <0067> // \{Kotomi} "We didn't have an appointment today." <0068> // \{Kotomi} "And I thought I had to apologize for yesterday, so..." <0069> // \{\m{B}} "Yesterday...? You mean, about after school?" <0070> // She quietly lowers her head as if ashamed of what she did as I say that. <0071> // \{Kotomi} "Even though \m{B}-kun is working hard for me..." <0072> // \{Kotomi} "I ended up breaking my promise..." <0073> // \{\m{B}} "I don't really mind." <0074> // \{\m{B}} "I also neglected our appointment, so..."* <0075> // The one who suffered the most from it is Sunohara though. <0076> // \{Kotomi} "I'm really sorry." <0077> // \{\m{B}} "Well, it's fine by me, but... weren't you being called through the school speaker?" <0078> // I see Kotomi's face cloud as I ask that.* <0079> // \{Kotomi} "Well..." <0080> // It seems difficult for her to answer as her words are unclear. <0081> // At this rate, she probably wouldn't be able to answer about the school broadcast she got despite knowing it. <0082> // I get the feeling that she's not acting like her usual self. <0083> // I thought asking why, but I stop. <0084> // If she needs to, Kotomi would probably open up herself to me someday. <0085> // \{\m{B}} "It's all right. Anyway, our first priority right now is making friends." <0086> // \{Kotomi} "Yup." <0087> // She smiles honestly as we head back. <0088> // \{Kotomi} "Who will be my friend today?" <0089> // \{\m{B}} "Oh... you sure are enthusiastic about this." <0090> // If that's so, then I have to be competitive too. <0091> // \{\m{B}} "That's right... today is..." <0092> // As I tried to remember some acquaintances of mine... <0093> // \{Voice} "Excuse me..." <0094> // \{\m{B}} "Hmmm?" <0095> // Fujibayashi was standing right in front of me as I turn around. <0096> // \{Ryou} "\m{A}-kun... well... about this..." <0097> // She timidly presents my bag to me. <0098> // I completely forgot about it because I was focused on Kotomi as we left the classroom. <0099> // \{\m{B}} "... you didn't really need to get it for me. I could have gone back and gotten it myself you know." <0100> // I could have just left it and gone home since there isn't really anything important inside. * <0101> // \{Ryou} "But... well... I don't think it's a good idea to just leave it there." <0102> // \{\m{B}} "Well... thanks then." <0103> // She hands me my thin bag. <0104> // \{\m{B}} "Well, you might not have noticed after our sudden talk, so I'll introduce her." <0105> // Kotomi was hiding behind my back. I grab her and present her to Fujibayashi. <0106> // \{\m{B}} "Her name is Ichinose Kotomi. She's someone I know, but..." <0107> // Fujibayashi looked blankly at Kotomi without saying anything. <0108> // Kotomi also looked strangely at Fujibayashi. <0109> // They look like two different little animals meeting unexpectedly on top of a tree. <0110> // I'm sure both of them are probably thinking, "We resemble each other but it's somehow strange." <0111> // \{\m{B}} "Hey, Kotomi, your greetings." <0112> // Kotomi regained her senses as she heard my voice and quickly bows her head down. <0113> // \{Kotomi} "\m{B}-kun, good afternoon." <0114> // \{\m{B}} "That joke isn't fresh anymore, so think about the next line..." * <0115> // And then, Fujibayashi moves first. <0116> // She pulls out a a deck of cards from her pocket. <0117> // She then clumsily shuffles them with her hand. <0118> // \{Ryou} "Ah..." <0119> // clatter, clatter... <0120> // As expected, they fell all over the floor. <0121> // \{Ryou} "Ah... uh..." <0122> // She gathers them quickly. <0123> // She then presents them to Kotomi in the shape of a fan. <0124> // \{Ryou} "Please pick three cards..." <0125> // \{Kotomi} "........." <0126> // \{Kotomi} "..............." <0127> // \{Kotomi} "......... is she a bully?" <0128> // \{\m{B}} "Well... though you look at me with a face that's about to cry..." <0129> // \{Ryou} "It's tomorrow's fortune... please pick three cards you like." <0130> // \{Kotomi} "........." <0131> // Snatch... snatch...... snatch. <0132> // She somehow manages to take three cards, even though she's frightened. <0133> // Fujiibayashi gazes at the cards Kotomi chose, thinks for a while, and then slowly says:* <0134> // \{Ryou} "Ichinose-san... you won't be able to make friends tomorrow." <0135> // \{\m{B}} "Don't deny my great effort with your \shake{0}prediction!!\shake{0}" <0136> // \{Ryou} "But... w-well..." <0137> // \{Ryou} "That's what the fortune told me." <0138> // \{\m{B}} "How about telling us the details?" <0139> // \{Ryou} "Well... she got Jack of Spade, Joker, and Jack of Hearts." <0140> // She shows me the cards that Kotomi picked and begins explaining. <0141> // \{Ryou} "The first card and third card is Jack and it means she's an individual." * <0142> // I can see that she looks serious, but I'm not really convinced. <0143> // \{\m{B}} "Is that so...?" <0144> // \{Ryou} "L-like me..." <0145> // \{\m{B}} "........." <0146> // \{Ryou} "Well... the spade and heart... both are pointing in the opposite direction." <0147> // \{Ryou} "In short, it means the relationship with her personal companion is bad." <0148> // \{\m{B}} "Oh..." <0149> // \{Ryou} "Furthermore, the second card between." <0150> // \{Ryou} "It means there's a person, and that person's duty is to connect her to her personal companion." * <0151> // That person she's talking about is me in short, huh...? <0152> // \{Ryou} "This will be terrible." <0153> // \{\m{B}} "........." <0154> // \{Ryou} "Joker will end everything." <0155> // \{Ryou} "Since pulling out Joker in the game of big millionaires will end it." * <0156> // \{\m{B}} "........." <0157> // \{Ryou} "........." <0158> // \{Kotomi} "........." <0159> // Swirve. <0160> // Tap, tap, tap, tap...! <0161> // \{\m{B}} "Hey! Wait a minute!" <0162> // She probably couldn't bear the cruel fate coming to her. Before Kotomi could escape, I caught her by her collar. <0163> // \{\m{B}} "Listen Kotomi. Nothing will change even if you run and cry. You have to face reality." <0164> // Nod, nod, nod, nod, nod. <0165> // She might have seen too much, but even still, Kotomi nodded bravely. <0166> // \{Ryou} "Well... fortune telling is just fortune telling so..." <0167> // \{Ryou} "There are times when it happens, and there are also times when it doesn't... well..." <0168> // \{Ryou} "Fortune telling isn't really prediction, and the meaning of the word prediction is weak itself... and... ummm..." <0169> // Fujibayashi follows up with her own words in desperation. <0170> // \{\m{B}} "Anyway, her name is Fujibayashi Ryou; she is my class's representative." <0171> // \{Ryou} "Umm... I'm Fujibayashi Ryou..." <0172> // \{\m{B}} "By the way, you remember Kyou from the other day, right? This is her younger twin sister." <0173> // Even through Ryou is Kyou's twin sister, Ryou's personality isnt' nearly as vicious. * <0174> // Kotomi was staring at Fujibayashi. <0175> // She then timidly points at herself. <0176> // \{Kotomi} "Kotomi." <0177> // \{Kotomi} "Three syllables Ko-to-mi." <0178> // \{Kotomi} "Call me Kotomi-chan." <0179> // \{Ryou} "Kotomi-chan, is it...? I understand." <0180> // \{Kotomi} "Is Ryou-chan..." <0181> // \{Kotomi} "... a bully?" <0182> // \{Ryou} "Well... I don't really... think so..." <0183> // That's obvious. \bYou\u don't really need to think so. <0184> // \{\m{B}} "That's it then, please be a strange companion and friend to her." <0185> // \{Ryou} "Yes... if you're fine with me..." <0186> // She nods obediently. It helps a lot since she's different from her older sister when it comes to this area. <0187> // \{Ryou} "Ummm... excuse me... but... a strange companion?" <0188> // \{Kotomi} "......... strange person?" <0189> // \{\m{B}} "It's just a figure of speech, so don't mind it, both of you." <0190> // \{Ryou} "Well... if you'll excuse me..." <0191> // \{Kotomi} "Good bye, Ryou-chan." <0192> // \{Ryou} "Yes... good bye." <0193> // She bows as her figure went far off in the corridor. <0194> // \{Kotomi} "Whew..." <0195> // Kotomi must have been pretty tense for her to sigh. <0196> // \{\m{B}} "Well... you did fairly well." <0197> // At least got her greeting right, so I can tell she's making progress. <0198> // Compared to Fujibayashi though, I think Kotomi still has a long way to go. <0199> // \{\m{B}} "Well then, let's move on." <0200> // I hold my bag as I walk. <0201> // It's unusual for her to have an empty hand, so I noticed it. <0202> // \{\m{B}} "That's right, where's your bag?" <0203> // \{Kotomi} "Ah..." <0204> // \{Kotomi} "I'm sure I misplaced it somewhere." <0205> // \{Kotomi} "Lots of my important books are inside it." <0206> // \{Kotomi} "But I completely forgot about it." <0207> // \{\m{B}} "........." <0208> // \{\m{B}} "Let's go search for it." <0209> // Nod, nod. <0210> // She nods seriously. <0211> // There's no mistake, she's the same species as Fujibayashi. I'm sure of it. <0212> // It was already evening when we went out the school gate. <0213> // Our shadows stretch down the long hill road. <0214> // We finally found her bag and she's embracing it dearly. <0215> // To forget something such as her precious thing... I guess she really is preoccupied. <0216> // "I was in a daze..." <0217> // "And I thought I had to apologize for yesterday, so..." <0218> // \{\m{B}} "Hey... Kotomi." <0219> // \{Kotomi} "?" <0220> // \{\m{B}} "After you make lots of friends, what do you want to do?" <0221> // \{Kotomi} "Eh?" <0222> // \{Kotomi} "Well..." <0223> // \{Kotomi} "............" <0224> // \{Kotomi} ".................." <0225> // \{\m{B}} "... well, let's carefully think about it when the time comes." <0226> // \{Kotomi} "Okay..." <0227> // In the end, I wasn't able to say she did a good job introducing herself to a friend today either. <0228> // I was thinking it would be an easy victory for her if her target was Fujibayashi. <0229> // I remember Kotomi's words one more time. <0230> // "Even though \m{B}-kun is working hard for me..." <0231> // I wonder if I'm really doing this for Kotomi. <0232> // Or am I just using her to satisfy myself...? <0233> // Such anxiety rises within my head again. <0234> // Kotomi doesn't say a thing as she cuddles right beside me.* <0235> // \{\m{B}} "Hey, Kotomi..." <0236> // \{Kotomi} "...?" <0237> // \{\m{B}} "You know, me introducing you to various people..." <0238> // \{\m{B}} "Maybe, it's troublesome?" <0239> // She inclined her head and looked at me. <0240> // \{Kotomi} "Ummm..." <0241> // \{Kotomi} "Well... I was always alone, so..." <0242> // \{Kotomi} "I didn't really think much about making friends." <0243> // \{\m{B}} "I see..." <0244> // \{Kotomi} "But, I'm thinking about it now." <0245> // \{Kotomi} "I guess... being alone is a bit lonesome." <0246> // \{Kotomi} "I was also thinking if I can really make friends..." <0247> // \{Kotomi} "But I guess... it will be hard for me." <0248> // \{\m{B}} "That's not true at all." <0249> // \{Kotomi} "Yup..." <0250> // Right now, she's still probably on the uneasy side rather than the hopeful side. <0251> // The thing that is surely needed is something like a chance, much like how Kotomi and I met. <0252> // \{\m{B}} "Well, tomorrow then..." <0253> // I'm hoping that Fujibayashi's fortune telling would fail. <0254> // \{Kotomi} "See you tomorrow, \m{B}-kun." <0255> // \{\m{B}} "Yeah, see you tomorrow." <0256> // I watched her for a while as she quickly disappeared from my sight. <0257> // I walk again. <0258> // The environment is beginning to get dark. <0259> // She's also used to walking alone... the same as me. <0260> // Even so... I wonder why am I poking my nose so far into her business? <0261> // I find it kind of strange, even for me.
