"Hello, look, it's the student president, why is she here."

"Wow wow, wow...... Who is that handsome guy next to the president? ”

"You don't even know him, it's the Jingu Temple in Class A."

"Eh, eh...... That's him? It's the first time I've seen a real person, and I'm really handsome. ”

"Nymphomaniac, you, scumbag, are you okay?"

"What's wrong with the scumbag? I don't scumbag you, you just say handsome or not, give it to you if you want it. ”

The two whispering girls glanced at the teenager standing at the door of the activity classroom, and accidentally looked at the young man's cold eyes that scanned the classroom.

The autumn sunlight streaming in through the corridor window shone and danced on the boy's shoulders.

The girls blushed in unison.

“…… Want. One of the girls bowed her head and whispered.

"Shameless!"

"Woo~~"

……

……

Almost every time you arrive at a new classroom, something like this happens.

Jingu Teratsuki tries not to look at the girls in the activity classroom, and when the students in the club learn that it is the famous Jingu Teratsuki who has come to visit the club, the expressions of these people can be described as wonderful.

No boy would welcome him, especially a club with one or two girls, and those boys could feel the burning hostility just by seeing Jingu Terazuki standing in the door of the classroom.

Obviously, this society didn't welcome him very much, which was something that could have been expected a long time ago, so Jingu Terakitsuki didn't feel hurt.

"Jinguji-san, this is ......"

"Not interested."

Without waiting for Hoshino Mori Hoshino, who was leading the way, he opened his mouth to introduce, and Jingu Terakitsuki was tired of those eyes, and turned around and walked away, giving people a cold look that thought very highly of himself.

Hoshino Morino bowed and apologized to the students who were doing club activities, and then chased after Jingu Teratsuki in small steps, leaving the students in the activity classroom to look at each other.

"Jinguji-san, please wait a minute."

Jingu Terakitsuki suddenly stopped, and Hoshino Morino, who was following behind him, almost hit his back, but fortunately she stopped in time and took two steps back.

"Chairman Hoshino Mori."

"How?"

"I want to go home."

"Well, when you find a suitable club, you can go home first, and then officially participate in club activities tomorrow."

"It's rude, I'm an official member of the homecoming department."

"I don't remember that I ever admitted to such a club, obviously the president of the student union."

"It's okay, I'm in the home department of another high school."

"Do you think I'm going to honestly say, 'Then there's no way?' Are Jinguji-sans underestimating me? ”

"It's nothing like that, I just think that Chairman Hoshino Mori is obviously very beautiful, but if you stalk and fight you, you will be treated as a heavy daughter, it's a little scary."

The girl's left eye couldn't help but narrow, and her eyelids jumped for a moment.

"It's useless to try to provoke me on purpose."

"That's a shame." Jingu Terakitsuki sighed very explicitly.

The boy raised his arm and pinched the back of his neck, showing a helpless expression.

I stared at the sky outside the window for a while with lazy eyes, and the chicken breast slices were long gone, and I don't know whose stomach it went into.

"Student President Yo, we've visited more than ten clubs, we're really tired, you should almost recognize one thing."

"If it was the fact that Jinguji-san was hated by other students, I knew about it from the beginning."

"—I'm not hated.

"Well, while I do want to play this meme, it's unfortunate, you're right."

Hoshino Mori squinted his eyes and smiled lightly.

"Huh? Liar, could it be that the president's purpose is actually to help me make friends? Wow......"

Jingu Siyue immediately took a few steps back, and scratched his arms a little exaggeratedly: "Don't, I'm the most useless to this kind of serious good student who seems to be in comics, it's so itchy." ”

"Jinguji-san, it's really like what others say, he's a person full of lies."

"yes, yes, I said that a long time ago." Jingu Temple Moon nodded in agreement.

Ignoring Jingu Siyue's exaggerated acting skills, the girl raised her face slightly, her smile had faded, and her flat eyes seemed to see through the young man in front of her.

"I, ah, hate people who have no ego the most, and I will only cater to the empty shell of others, and I don't feel ...... Is it empty? ”

The frivolity deduced by Jingu Temple Moon was almost broken by this sentence.

In retrospect, this was the second time she had said that.

I see.

Even if the memories are cleared, even if the stories between each other become something that never happened, even if those things are only left in the bottom of Jingu Terakitsuki's heart, they will never be known to her.

Even if she forgets who she used to be, how much she loves the teenager in front of her.

Even so.

Hoshino Mori Hoshino, is also the original Hoshino Mori Hoshino.

INTERVIEWER What does the world look like in the eyes of someone who forgets anything?

Mortals, as a matter of course, forget many things, everything.

But I often remember even the things I should forget.

Remembering is not something to be envied.

So, if I don't remember them, can I forget them completely?

If I could forget, I probably wouldn't remember anything.

My childhood birthday, my promise on the way home, the windowsill in my bedroom, and yesterday's dinner, if I can't remember these things at all.

As a result, there is nothing left of me on my body from the inside out, and at best a handful of ashes of ruins that I have picked up.

Then I will clearly remember that it is due to memorization, probably as an excuse to escape.

- Even if I don't have it, I won't forget it.

"Ahhh~~ Senior Sister President! Finally found you! ”

What broke the dullness between the two was a high-pitched voice that rushed from afar.

Creature like a small animal, like a little sheep bleating through the pasture, stumbled towards them.

She was on a rampage, unstoppable, in this corridor where running was forbidden.

"Gollum ——!"

Hoshino Mori Hoshino suddenly made a cute voice that was frightened, and before she could react, the high note shook her eardrums again, and Jingu Terakitsuki on the side had already put his finger into her ear canal.

"Why!

"We didn't do anything to be sorry for the president! Why does the president want to target us? We didn't do anything wrong, did we? ”

"...... of Yangmiya-san"

The short girl had no intention of listening to anyone at all, and looked around, ignoring Jingu Terakitsuki, who was standing aside, and carefully took out an envelope from the pocket of her uniform, which was about three or four centimeters thick, and stuffed it into Hoshino Mori Seino's arms.

"Quick! Don't let anyone see it. ”

“………”

"If you don't participate in club activities, please, sir." The short girl bent forward, sneering and rubbing her hands.

The envelope must be filled with yokan?

The boy thought to himself.

"Jinguji classmate ......" Hoshino Mori Seino, who was still indifferent just now, looked at the boy with a pleading gaze.

"Huh?! How can there be a person, broken, and now I have to stop talking. ”

This guy is a fool.

Jingu Temple Moon made up his mind in an instant.

"This classmate, talking about important things in this kind of place will be heard by outsiders, of course, I didn't hear anything just now." Jingu Terazuki smiled deceptively.

"Wow! You're a good man! The short girl in front of her didn't react to Jingu Siyue's slashing smile, but grinned and returned the color.

"Of course, I'm the buddy of all pretty girls."

"You're good, let's remember you, senior sister, there are ears on the wall here, let's talk in another place!"

"Huh? Please wait a minute, Jinguji-san! Help......"

"Sayonara."

Jingu Teratsuki showed a peaceful expression like a grandmother in a country grocery store, and gently waved his hand at Hoshino Mori Seino who was dragged away as a farewell.

When the two of them completely left the young man's sight, Jingu Terakitsuki waved his hand and hung down weakly, and the false smile returned to calm and tended to be indifferent.

The school radio was exiled at this time, and it was time to leave the school.

Outside the window, the dark clouds covered the sky, like the faces of the girls who were once embarrassed when they were accosted by him.

"Let's go home."

He muttered to himself.

……

……

Jingu Teratsuki walked out of the main entrance of Jiyugaoka Station, and in front of the dessert shop next to it, a young girl looked at the display case through the glass window, her eyes shining, and she didn't move.

The girl is wearing the uniform of Kamakura High School, and the zipper of the school bag on her shoulder is not fully closed, and you can see the corner of the sportswear with a laundry bag.

Jingu Terakitsuki pretended not to see it, and walked past her silently.

Suddenly, a white arm stood in front of the young man, and he glanced at the girl's outstretched hand, the arm was slender, the nails were very cleanly trimmed, and the lines of the palm were like a labyrinth.

"What are you doing?"

The girl was still lying in front of the display case, not glancing at Jingu Temple Moon from beginning to end, as if the object of her communication was not Jingu Temple Moon, but the snacks in the display case.

The transparent glass reflected the young man's puzzled face, and the girl turned her head, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and her smile was a little silly, but it was smooth and reassuring.

"Hey...... I forgot to bring my wallet, I'm so tired from running today, and my stomach is flat, please ask me. ”
