In the evening, I, Harubara, and Okazaki are now in Haruhara's dormitory, talking around the table.

While this was more usual, the atmosphere of the conversation was much greater than usual. Because,Haruhara, who is usually teased by Okazaki.,Now he's angrily scolding Okazaki who is sitting across from him.。

"I skipped class to investigate a guy named Ibukiko."

"Why..."

"The person who is going to get married on Sunday is surnamed Ibuki, right? Then Fengzi's surname should really be Ibuki, and Bei Fengzi is a deceptive name. ”

“…”

Hearing Haruhara's words, Okazaki's face deteriorated a little and lowered his head.

Sure enough, he didn't say anything to Haruhara.

"But Ibukiko is in the hospital," Okazaki, who didn't care about the change in his face, Haruhara continued, "So who is the person who is with us?" Someone pretending to be Ibukiko?! ”

“…”

"Whew~ If it's pretend, forget it," Haruhara sighed helplessly, "But obviously not, right?" So, Fengzi she..."

Even I, who was listening silently on the side, could hear the voiceover of Haruhara's words, even if I was dull.

If the Kazeko we know is Ibukiko, but the real Ibukiko is lying in the hospital and being treated, then isn't the "Kazeko" we know is...

"Actually, Izumi and I should have been to the hospital once."

Coldly, Chunyuan suddenly came out with such a sentence.

"What!"

"Huh?"

Not only Okazaki, but also I, the protagonist of the previous story, let out a cry of surprise.

When have I been there?

"Last week, didn't we both say we had a headache and were tired the next day?" Haruhara, turning his head to look at me, explained, "I've been unsure, but I turned this under the quilt this morning. ”

As he spoke, Haruhara, he took out a note and put it on the table to show us.

"This is!"

A receipt. Although it is a receipt that is very common no matter where you get it, if you recognize the time and place on it, it is not a simple receipt for us at this moment.

"Why do you have a receipt from the hospital?" I stared at the list in front of me, my fists clenched, and my voice seemed to be squeezed out, "And my signature." ”

"Izumi, you—remembered, right?"

“…”

Ah, I see.

The moonlight sprinkled on the room on the hospital bed, revealing a quiet expression and closing her eyes, the girl could not forget the reality as if it were a dream.

I... How could you forget something so important.

Damn, really hateful... It's so important, but I'm actually...

Bastard, worst.

"Izumi! Isn't it you two! ”

"That's right, that's it, Okazaki." Haruhara nodded affirmatively, raising his head lonely and staring at Okazaki's eyes, "But ah, I don't know why, even if I saw this list, I only remember going to the hospital that night, but I don't have any memory of what happened inside." ”

"So, I'd like to check it out."

"Confirm what?"

"Go to the hospital and see what Ibukiko looks like."

"Stupid!" Hearing Haruhara say this, Okazaki immediately slapped the table and stood up, and yelled at Haruhara in a lost voice, "Don't go!" ”

"Why?"

"Uh..."

"Okazaki," Haruhara said with a rare serious expression, "you must know something, right?" Something about Fengzi. ”

“…”

"I won't force you to answer what you don't want to say," Haruhara smiled bitterly, stood up and stared at Okazaki, clenching his fists as if he had made up his mind, "but I'm still unwilling to go to confirm." ”

I looked up at Haruhara, who had made up his mind, and when I turned my head to look at Okazaki, who looked worried, I sighed silently in my heart and stood up on the table.

"This time, I also agree with Haruhara's statement, so I'll go with you."

"Izumi! You..."

"I'm sorry, Okazaki," I nodded apologetically, knowing that Okazaki was worried about us too, but, as Haruhara's said, there are some things that we have to check for myself, "I want to go too." ”

Because, I don't want to admit that what I saw that day is the truth. Even if you can scold me for being weak, I still don't want to believe that what I saw that night is the real wind, if I don't want to believe it, then check it again.

"You two—" Okazaki bowed his head silently, knowing that he couldn't persuade us to make up his mind, "I know." ”
