Chapter 6: What Happened?
The following is the perspective of Fujishima Narumi (oh~~ Who are you asking Fujishima Narumi?) Didn't you mention it in the last chapter.,The kid who pulled Sakiya to the roof is Fujishima Narumi! )
……
My name is Narumi Fujishima, my mother has passed away, and my father and an older sister who are working at work only have five days left in the next year.
Ever since my mother died, my father's spirit has become a little abnormal.
Because he couldn't accept the fact that his mother had died, he chose to forget many things and returned to the time when he first married his mother.
Of course, my father completely forgot that I existed, because I had just gotten married, so of course it was impossible to have children.
From that day on, the older sister played the role of a mother in front of her father, soothing her father's wounded heart hidden under a calm expression like a child.
"Since you can't be trusted, then of course you can only rely on me!"
That's what my sister told me.
Fortunately, my father was still able to work, and he would remit his salary back every month to support the family.
It's just that occasionally when a teacher at school calls me to ask about my situation, he replies, "I don't have this person in my family."
In the past, I was always changing schools because of my father's work, but recently, my father's job was finally fixed in one place, so I moved to Tokyo with my sister.
The street where I live now can be divided into two colors, the river that is as slender as a patient's vein is the boundary of the colors, and near me is a small factory with a rusty roof, shoulder to shoulder
Cheap apartments standing in shoulder rows, then high schools.
I don't know why, there are many temples and cemeteries here; My family is also on this side.
On the opposite bank are the viaducts of the Capital Expressway, huge stations that bring together countless railways, buildings side by side along intricate ramps, department stores and television stations.
When the weather is clear, you can see the shadow of the metropolitan hall in the distance.
Tokyo is such an incredible place where you can peacefully coexist with the boring houses and buildings that can be found everywhere in Japan.
Looking from the rooftop, the station is like a scene from a TV commercial, and it doesn't feel realistic, probably because I don't want to be near that area, right?
Since you can go straight to play in your uniform after school, I've heard that our school is still quite popular both inside and outside Tokyo. I think that if the color of the sailor suit is brighter, it should be able to add about 40% of the attractiveness!
At the beginning of October, when M High School started, I transferred to this school, and I entered the computer club for the reason that there were no other club members, and I lived a school life that no one noticed.
I often felt that there was no point in going to high school, and I couldn't keep up with my schoolwork at all, and I thought that when I couldn't understand what the teacher was saying that day, I would just take a break and go home.
Bored time, boring life, boring me, probably will end up in a boring place, in a very boring way, boring death...... That's what I thought.
At the beginning of November, a new neighbor moved in.
It was a beautiful girl who was dressed in a blue and white maid outfit for unknown reasons and had waist-length hair like obsidian.
The truck unloaded the large boxes from the truck, but did not help her move them to the house.
I was on my way to school and happened to pass by.
Seeing the girl standing quietly next to those big boxes, I couldn't help but think that she must be worried right now! Looking at her delicate body, no matter how you think about it, she can't do manual work.
Perhaps, I should help her?
I subconsciously said this.
Before that, I never knew that I still had the habit of unconsciously speaking my heart, because no one had ever told me this.
When the girl heard my words, she ran up to me and looked at me pitifully, so that I could not say anything to say no.
The girl opened the door and instructed me to move the large boxes inside.
God, it's so heavy! After doing it, my legs and feet were so weak that I almost collapsed to the ground!
But what I didn't expect was that this was just the beginning.
The house has been renovated beforehand, and there is no shortage of furniture.
What I do is I take the contents of the boxes out and put them where they belong.
There are three computers in it...... Heh, I said how to move it so heavy.
The socket is electrified, and someone should have checked the wiring beforehand.
I've always been a member of a computer club, so it's not too difficult for me to assemble a computer and connect to the Internet.
The most difficult thing was the contents of the other boxes...... The girl stared at me in real time almost without blinking, with a worried look on her face, as if I was not holding a box in my hand, but a treasure that was very important to her!
However, I really can't understand what is so important about two boxes of cute maid figures, two boxes of fluttery maid outfits, and two boxes of canned coffee.
But looking at the girl's cautious expression, I didn't say it in the end. Not only that, but I also put those figures and maid outfits back into place according to her orders, and even the two boxes of coffee were put in the refrigerator one by one.
But after finishing my work, I was quickly asked out of the room by the girl.
I didn't get angry at the time, because I couldn't get angry because of the guilt on the girl's face at that time.
I think she must have some kind of hardship!
It's just that I never understood why the girl would say that strange thing to me when I was leaving: "When we see each other again, please protect me!" ”
It wasn't until today, when I watched the girl being brought in by the teacher, that I finally understood that what she said should mean today's "meeting again...... It's just that why is her upper body wearing a boy's uniform?
With this in mind, I watched as she slowly walked towards me.
What to do, did she recognize me?
I guess I must have had a strange look on my face at the time!
However, the girl gave me a strange look at me at the end, and then sat down in the seat in front of me.
Whew~~ I breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a trace of loss inevitably rose in my heart.
After class, the girl was leaning sideways to support her cheeks, and from my point of view, I could see her flawless side face.
Surrounded by students who are gradually coming around, they are here to ask questions, right? I know that they want to learn more about the "mysterious" transfer students in this way, however, it is a burden for transfer students.
Because being asked such and such questions makes humans generally feel uncomfortable!
So, was this the situation she meant when she said "protect her"? Under her calm expression, was it already overflowing with uneasiness? The reason why she leaned sideways and never looked at herself was because she wanted to remind herself not to forget her commitment, but she didn't dare to look at herself directly because she was shy?
Up, or not? To go, or not to go?
The mind is still struggling, but the body has already subconsciously acted. By the time I reacted, I was already standing between the girl and her classmates.
Looking at the surprised expressions of my classmates, I could feel that my cheeks were flushed in an instant.
I opened my mouth to explain, but I didn't know what was going on, and I couldn't even say a complete sentence in a hurry.
As my classmates looked at their increasingly strange expressions, my head heated, and I turned around and grabbed the girl's hand and ran out of the classroom all the way to the roof of the South Campus, where I used to pass the time.
I gasped for air, visibly exerting a lot of energy.
However, something strange happened, and the girl could still look up at the sky calmly?
What's going on...... Am I miscognizing? Looking at the girl's gradually raised eyebrows, my heart, which was already beating fast, instantly doubled again, giving me the illusion that it would jump out of my throat in the next moment.
But...... Don't get me wrong, what I was thinking at the time was probably completely different from what you thought when you saw this!
