At night, Narumi Yu looked out the window at the sky, which was probably the time when the taxi driver was going home to rest during the day.

I dialed the mobile phone number of the driver who had been written down in Shiina's "dream".

"Sorry for the sudden interruption."

"That ......" the hesitant voice of the taxi driver's uncle came from the other end of the phone, "Who are you?" Have we met? Some impressions of sound...... Sorry, I can't remember. ”

Impressive?

Narumi Yu thought it was incredible, he also turned out of school at that time a year ago and got into his uncle's taxi?

But Mr. Natsume clearly told him that he had never missed a class before he took a leave of absence in a car accident, and he had always maintained full attendance for the scholarship.

"In May last year, high school students from Mikagehama High School sat in the 2-chome of Kohinata-cho."

The uncle was silent for a long time, and finally remembered,

"Oh!! Are you the kid who jumped over the wall to take care of his sick girlfriend? ”

"Hmm."

"But...... I don't remember giving you your phone number...... My taxi work number and daily number are separated. ”

"Maybe you forgot it, uncle......"

“……”

Make an appointment to ask the driver for a visit at noon on Sunday, and by the way, find out about the situation at that time.

In any case, he made the same choice a year ago as he does now, which is undoubtedly something worth sighing.

An ordinary ramen restaurant, an ordinary two-bowl ramen.

The uncle who has been a taxi driver for a long time needs nothing more than this simple, filling food at noon.

"At that time, it was just an extra kilometer away, and if you hadn't called, I might have forgotten about it......"

The uncle scratched his head, and his appearance was no different from that in the "dream".

Narumi Yu wanted to ask the answers, and gave the answers as much as he could.

Last year in reality.

Shiina Weiyang didn't force himself to take the train, but he handed in his papers in advance and skipped school as in his "dream".

Although his physical fitness was very poor at the time, because he lacked the process of finding people in the school, he staggered the time of patrolling security guards when climbing over the wall. By mistake, I met the driver's uncle who had just finished carrying a passenger and stopped on the side of the road for a short rest.

"That'...... It's getting late, I'm going to get back to work,"

After the meal, the chat session ended, and the uncle got up from his seat.

"Boy, when you and your girlfriend get engaged and get married, just remember to send me a message, and you don't have to have a dinner party."

He patted Narumi on the shoulder and walked straight out of the ramen restaurant.

In the afternoon when he returned home, Narumi Yu sent another message to Mr. Natsume, asking about the monthly exam absence and scholarship.

[Natsume: Absenteeism from exams does not affect full attendance.] Speaking of which, I've tried my best to get Narumi-san's scholarship, and I've made some progress. ]

[Natsume: If Narumi-san still achieves the top three in her grade in the monthly exam next weekend, she can continue to get a scholarship and make up for what she lacked before.] ]

[Natsume: The top three are still a bit too harsh, and I'll try my best to convince them to change to the top five or ten.] ]

[Yuu: Thank you, the first three are fine, it's not difficult for me.] ]

Although he doesn't need the scholarship now, the teacher has put in a lot of effort, and his source of income is not easy to explain.

[Natsume: Speaking of the monthly exam a year ago, I suddenly remembered one thing......]

[Yu: What?] ]

[Natsume: The seats after the first monthly exam are selected according to the results.] ]

[Natsume: You who missed the grades in two subjects, and Shiina-san, who didn't take the monthly exam, were only assigned to a corner position.] ]

[Natsume: I've been sitting until now......]

[Natsume: You guys...... You're dating, right? ]
