Therefore, those inescapable lies will eventually become true (II)
After a few days, it seemed that I was back to my daily life, nothing changed, I went to school, the ministry activities, and then I went home.
That's probably it, on the surface.
However, I could clearly feel the changes that had taken place since then, and I could clearly feel that there were many things that were completely different from those before without looking carefully.
Of course, I also thought about continuing to pretend to be confused, playing sloppy and spending this time in a fool's way, as long as there is no need to say anything about it. You don't have to think about it, you don't have to prepare for it, you just spend every day as usual.
But—I remember, it was the second week after that, on Thursday morning.
As the bell rings for lunch break, there is a buzzing atmosphere in the classroom, and I usually choose to go to the commissary to buy bread and drinks at such times. Because since I went to junior high school, I haven't had the habit of bringing a lunch box to school, and most of them are solved with bread, and no one can find it if I stay alone.... That place is just for me. So, this time is no different.
As I was packing up my desk and getting ready to leave, someone called my name from behind, no, to be exact, it should be an abbreviation
[Small Business.] ]
Yuhihama, I was a little surprised to see her walking towards me, and behind her, near the window, it was Miura Hayama and others, who had already put together the table and opened the topic, talking and laughing, and opened the bento. Normally, there would be a location for Yubihama right now.
[Oh.]
Maybe something was going on, and I stood up.
She poked her head a little and looked at my desk
[Now... Are you going to the commissary?]
[Ah.] If you go late, the hot dog bread will be snatched up.]
[That's just right, I'm going too.] ]
[Hmm? how.] Today..]
[I woke up a little late this morning and didn't have time to make a bento.] Although Yumiko and they want me to go in part, but..]
Speaking of this, Yubihama touched his head with his hand with some shame, and smiled a little embarrassed
[I always feel that this is a little unacceptable..]
Hm.. What does it mean to be unacceptable? I can't get a definite answer from this few words, and I don't dare to speculate, after all, this kind of thing is nothing.
So, I just replied lightly
[Oh.Then let's put it together.] ]
[Hmm.] ]
Yubihama replied as he recovered, and he seemed to be happy.
[That's..]
His eyes drifted towards the door, and when he was about to walk out, his voice stopped abruptly, and at the same time, he stopped the steps he was about to take and stood in place in a daze.
Noticing the change in me, Yuhihama also looked in the direction of my gaze with a strange expression.
- Standing at the door of the class under the snow and looking around.
[Little, light snow?]
[Hmm?ah、Good morning, Yubihama.] ]
Although it's already noon... No, you don't have to worry about any of this, anyway, why is it here under the snow... If there's one of those places that has become weird lately, that's probably it. I always feel that I have been a little restless under the snow lately.. The same is true in the activity room, and of course, now.
His slightly clenched left hand rested lightly on his chest, and then he took a deep breath before slowly opening his eyes again. He looked at me hesitantly and said in a matching voice
[Bi, Biqi Gu-kun.] A little.. Something. ]
[.. What?]
I frowned, feeling strange.
[Hmm.] Hiratsuka-sensei looks.. Something to ask us for..]
As he said this, his gaze under the snow gradually lowered, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
[Is it.] That's..]
I looked at Yubihama standing beside me, and the guy shook his head quickly
[No, it's okay, I'll go alone, since the teacher has something to do with you, let's go quickly.] ]
[Sorry.Yubihama.] ]
This sorry was said to Yubihama under the snow.,It seems that he really feels sorry for it.,Even the smile became so reluctant.,It's also a little hard to look at.。
After nodding to Yubihama, I followed out of the classroom under the snow.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, the route taken under the snow did not lead to the teacher's office, but to the special teaching building, which should be the activity room of the ministry department for the three of us, to be exact.
I wasn't surprised by this, and I didn't ask anything along the way, because I knew from the beginning that I was lying under the snow.
This time, she did.
Walking into the classroom, I closed the door and leaned against it, not going to my desk under the snow to sit down in the place that had always belonged to her, standing a few steps in front of me with her back to me.
Silence fell, and she and I stood without saying a word.
It was about a few tens of seconds before I heard a voice from ahead
[-Nothing.] Want to ask?]
[M.] Since I knew it was a lie in the first place, there was no need to ask for any more explanations.]
[Is it..]
replied lightly, and finally turned around slowly, intersecting my gaze in mid-air, with a flat cheek and no fluctuating gaze without any expression
[Why.] Would you agree to have a relationship with your sister?]
[Hmm, aha?!]
Hearing this sudden questioning, I bounced up from the door and looked at the snow in disbelief. No, where did she know that? No! No, the first thing to ask is why she asked this question! It's not a formal relationship, but in general...
[Why.] Would agree to date my sister?]
Asked again in the same tone, in the same sentence.
But.. I can't answer that question. Because before you know it, it's already become like that... Before I even reacted, I was given an order to "keep it absolutely confidential", but... Explanations are unclear, and there is not even any obligation to explain. Why do I feel a strong sense of disobedience slowly swelling between me and her, oppressing the atmosphere that is still peaceful between us?
[.. How do you know?]
[In my sister's mobile phone, the phone number that is stored.]
[Just like that?]
Snow shook his head as a matter of course
[In addition to you, of course, there are other men.] Dad, Hayama-san, college classmates.. However, only your name is marked with the classification of lovers, Biqi Gujun. ]
[... Maybe it's a prank or..]
[And, you're in constant contact with each other, aren't you?]
After saying something involuntarily, a faint smile appeared on the face under the snow, a quiet look like stagnant water, and a flat tone, and once again asked the question just now
[So, can you tell me.] Why would you agree to a relationship with a sister? Jun?]
