Classroom of the Elite Vol. 11.5

"You can't ... Because you have an umbrella... It's okay for you to go
home, Ayanokouji-kun."

"There's almost no point in using an umbrella right now ..."

The underwear must have been soaking wet, and the rain penetrated into
the body.

"Th ... That's evil..."

"Forgive me..."

If Ichinose doesn't go home, then I won't go home either. I succumbed to
Ichinose with such threats.

"...... I understand. Then let's go home"

"Well then ..." I stopped to pass a umbrella.

"Since it's wet ... Let's go home."

"Haha ... yeah" It takes less than a few minutes for us to return to the
dormitory. There is no big difference either.

Two people walking together ... While in the rain. I thought it wasn't bad
to return quietly, but Ichinose immediately sighed.

"I always show my bad side to Ayanokouji-kun ..., really not cool huh ..."

"A bad side ... Yes ... That might have a point."

Lately she was played by Sakayanagi and had temporarily lost her true
identity.

"Even though in front of others I can be more resilient ... Why is that...?"

Page 191 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Well ... I think ... Only the trustworthy person can see someone's bad
side."

You won't show weakness, at least ... Not in front of people you hate.
Even if you lied about your determination, but you still revealed your
weakness when alone.

"It's a little narcissistic to say that. Forget what I said just now."

"No ... I guess you are right. Ayanokouji-kun is a person who can be
trusted .., that's why I show my weaknesses like this. But ... When I'm weak, I
feel Ayanokouji-kun is always beside me."

"It was just a coincidence ..."

"I am really, really sorry."

"There's no need to apologize. I don't think that's a bad thing. If other
students know they must be mad at me."

Even in the same school year Ichinose was a very popular girl. If boys
hear it, they might be very jealous.

"If it's okay, you can say your complaints."

"That...."

Ichinose, looking confused, shook her head left and right.

"I can't ... It's not good to show my weakness like this, I'm really pathetic
right." Even though it's getting warmer, the temperature is still low.

Finally, under this heavy rain ..., we arrived in front of the dormitory.
Even though it was only a little longer, we arrived at the dormitory lobby ...,
but Ichinose stopped once again.

Page 192 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"What will you do ... Ichinose?"

"Right now ... I don't want to go back to my room for a while." Saying
that, She refused to go back home.

It was a rejection with a stronger will than before.

"Even so we have to go back first."

It's true, if it gets rained a little on his mind. But that does not lead to a
fundamental solution.

I cannot agree with Ichinose's resistance.

"Even so, I really don't want to go back home ... Right now..."

"Is that so ... I will stay here then." Because I showed a tough attitude,
making Ichinose surprised and confused.

"If you are alone in the room, then you will remember a lot of things and
will feel pressured again ... Because of that you don't want to go back right?"

Even though I kept getting rained on like this, Ichinose still didn't move
forward. If that's the case, there's no choice but to move forward in another
way.

"Then, want to come to my room?"

"Eh?"

Responding to an unexpected question from me, Ichinose looked into my
eyes.

"If there is someone to talk to, I don't think you will be depressed
anymore."

Page 193 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"But ... I'm wet ..."

"Besides, I'm also wet, it doesn't make any difference. If Ichinose says she
won't come over, then I'll stay here with you."

"It is unexpected ... if Ayanokouji-kun is a coercive huh ..."

"Maybe so..."

After that we both went to the dormitory with wet bodies. Incidentally, at
this time there was no one in the lobby. After that we both entered the
elevator and went to my room on the 4th floor.

"Come in."

"Is that really all right?"

"Yes.."

"... I'm sorry, thank you"

I put Ichinose in the room and first told her to sit down. A cold floor
might make it even colder. With her clothes wet ... I can't say it's a good
thing, but at least not to make it colder ... I turned off the air conditioner.
After that I took a towel and gave it to Ichinose.

"What if you talk about it without being rushed?"

"Talk about ...?"

"Everything Ichinose thinks about, worries ... And all that stuff."

"That ... No, I can't..."

Confused, Ichinose refused.

Page 194 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Lately, I always relied on Ayanokoujikun. More than anyone, you always
save me. If I say more than this ... It's really not cool... I can't do it." Ichinose
Honami is a weak girl. However, she always has something that make it
looks like an amazing leader.

Because it is a skill that is certainly needed as a leader. Something like ...
'With this person, it's okay to follow'. Something she must show as a leader.

"Ayanokouji-kun knows enough about me anyway ..."

"Of course ... I am getting closer to Ichinose ... But it's only limited to a
student named Ichinose Honami. I still don't know how much trouble about
you being the leader of Class B."

"If you know that ... Then..."

Without wanting to talk about it honestly. Ichinose hid his face with a
towel. It's like she refused to let read something from her facial expression.

"Do you not trust me?"

"Eh?"

Ichinose responded while still hiding her face.

"If that's the case, it's fine ... You don't need to say it. On the contrary, it's
a wrong to tell others."

"No ... That's not it... I might trust Ayanokouji-kun more than anyone ..."

Whether it's a lie or true, this is a trivial matter.

Because whichever it is, I directed Ichinose to say that.

"It is an honor for me, but why do you say it so easily? I might just use
Ichinose's honesty ... Like ... Well ... Even though it's only half... You used to

Page 195 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

tell Sakayanagi about your past right..? "

An event that is still new in her memory. Keep your past a secret when
she was in middle school. Although she shoplifted for the sake of her
younger sister. But she told Sakayanagi from Class A that was in fact her
enemy. Although manipulated, but said something that should not be easily
expressed even though it was her closest friend.

She is too far a better person.

"In a situation where you don't know each other's relationship. Normally
you don't talk about your secrets just like that."

Of course, if it's a deliberately fabricated story, another story ... But what
Ichinose did was meaningless.

No ... Even though she knew she was in trouble, She still did it.

"Therefore ... What will you do if the same situation occurs again?"

"Even I ... It's enough if that happens again." Saying that, She touched the
tip of her wet bangs adorably.

"I see ... If that's okay. If you always remember to be careful, then I won't
talk about it more deeply."

"Ah, no, that's not it. It's true ... I don't want to experience difficulties the
same way. But Ayanokouji-kun is different."

"I'm in a different class. Isn't it no different if I'm Ichinose's enemy?"

"I don't want to say the enemy easily."

"Even if you don't want to say that, that's the truth."

"... But ..."

Page 196 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Unable to accept it, Ichinose reselected her words.

"Not a partner, but someone who can be trusted." By expressing it like
that, She hates the word 'enemy'.

Immediately, the water began to boil.

"Coffee, Coffee Milk, hot chocolate also ..."

"Then ... Hot chocolate." Ichinose nodded and smiled a little when She
said... I made her a hot chocolate.

Therefore, she can warm her body. Finally the rain subsided a little, and
the sunset began to pierce the clouds. Ichinose, who had been watching the
scenery outside for a while, smiled a little at me.

After a while, Ichinose began to talk about her feelings little by little.

"When I met my classmates in class B, I felt confident that we could win.
It could be said that it was a self-conceit, so I thought ... I was blessed with a
very good environment. Even now that feeling hasn't changed. "

Like confirming again ..., Ichinose said that.

"But the only miscalculation is that I am the leader. If I could do it better,
I think class B could have more points than it currently has."

"Not really ... I don't doubt that Ichinose is an extraordinary person."
Shaking her head left and right, She refused my words.

"Today, I spoke with Horikita-san and I really felt it. She has grown so
much over the past year. Even Ryuuen-kun and Sakayanagi-san are like that.
The leaders in each class are getting stronger and stronger." Unlike the
surrounding environment that shows such enthusiasm. She hasn't seen herself
grow in a year.

Page 197 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

That's how she lost her confidence. She had the strong impression of
being left behind by others, as if it was her own fault.

"I ... Can I win after this ...?"

"Win after this ..."

(Tln: Don't misunderstand, Kiyo just repeats Ichinose's words. He hasn't
answered at all.)

"I want to hear Ayanokouji-kun's opinion ... Can you answer me
honestly?"

"If that's your wish ... Then I can't help but answer it."

Not that my answer is correct. But ... Ichinose wants to know that one
answer now. However ... That's not something I can say now. The future is
uncertain, and there are still unlimited possibilities. I know very well that
Ichinose is not a student who will give up here.

"Soon we will become class 2. In other words the start of the new school
year ..."

"Yes..."

"During that one year, try to always move forward with your classmates.
During the trip, sometimes there are things that make you happy, sad,
sometimes you feel like you are completely destroyed. Even so ... Never once
thinking of stopping... "

Now ..., what class B leader Ichinose Honami can do is ... Same as before
... She just has to live her life with courage.

There is no way ... Other than trusting her friends... That's the only
weapon allowed in Class B.

Page 198 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"So ... That ... One year later... Can I get the answer I want...?" One year
later, is something that cannot be seen now. She must have felt an incredible
sense of anxiety because of that.

"I'm afraid, myself one year later, the words one year later that
Ayanokouji-kun said, I'm afraid ..."

Life in high school, high school that had begun well as a class B. Ichinose
with her classmates could pass this one year safely protecting her position.

Surrounded by many friends, and living school life smoothly.

However, if you don't pay attention, you will find that the gap is closing.
In front of Ichinose Honami, the word "defeated" appeared.

"I...."

"I know ... That's not an answer you can accept and understand" Ichinose
averted her gaze.

I can't answer the question 'can she win over this'.

No ... It doesn't even need to be answered. Big differences begin to
emerge in the power that is currently visible. If evaluating objectively at this
time, it is likely that the class will sink to the lower classes next year.

That was Ichinose's inaction. Not because it's cold. But her body trembled
slightly with fear.

"What must be done? What must be done ..." Ichinose will certainly never
show weaknesses like this to other students.

Especially to classmates.

It's easy for me to give soft words here. It's also easy for me to be gentle

Page 199 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

and whisper sweet words in Ichinose's open heart. Even now ... I might be
able to touch her body under her wet clothes.

As I moved, Ichinose reacted and looked at me. I moved to Ichinose's
side, sat together and stared at her gaze that wanted to escape.

"A-Ayanokouji-kun ...?" I touched Ichinose's wet hair with my right hand
... Then lightly touched her cheeks.

A cold sensation, a soft sensation, and also a little ... Warmth flowing
down my fingertips. Then ... I moved my thumb and touched Ichinose's lips
gently. By doing that, her body's trembling diminished, and her trembling lips
finally calmed down.

Usually it is an action that should be refused, and it is not strange to run
away immediately because of it. But Ichinose still did not go.

"Inconceivable ... You are such a strange person ... Ayanokouji-kun..."

"I guess so ..." Stopping the conversation ... I just looked at Ichinose.
Nothing more, nothing less.

"Well ... Ichinose, just like today, will you meet me again next year?"

"..... What does it mean?" Without releasing my palm, Ichinose's moist
eyes caught me and never let go.

"It means it's the same as that ... One more year I want to meet you
exactly like now. Me and Ichinose are alone together." In a certain sense ... It
might sound like confessing feelings.

But ... It's enough up to here. I let go of my hand gently and kept my
distance from Ichinose.

"From now on, don't hesitate and move forward, and meet me next year.
Will you promise me?"

Page 200 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"That ..." She hesitated for a moment. "It's possible ... At that time I ... Our
class ..."

"It has nothing to do ... I just want to see Ichinose one year later ..."
Ichinose closed her eyes and nodded slightly.

"The answer I am trying to convey ... At that time... I promise I will say it
..."

"Yes, thank you ... Ayanokouji-kun." The energy that had been lost in her
eyes ... Was confirmed to have begun returning.

"I will also promise. Throughout this year I will fight with all my strength
and head to class A." Now in this place ... Ichinose showed her best smile to
me. Promise to see each other in the years to come. If we can both survive,
then this promise will be fulfilled.

Class B is led by Ichinose Honami. What will they do later?

Many things are still in doubt ..., but the future is not yet determined.
However ... If they will fall, I will be the [Misinterpretation] at that time.

Chapter 4 - From a Brother to a Sister

Intro

The next day, March 31. Today will be a special day for me.

Yes ... Today is the day Horikita Manabu will start his new journey. The
promised time is right in the middle of the day.

Acting as usual ... I arrived in front of the main gate early. He did not tell
his other juniors about the day of his departure. So far no one but myself was
present.

Occasionally in the distance, I waited for his arrival, while staring at the
students who went to the Keyaki mall.

A year ago, I came to school through this main gate. A place that is
usually close, but is never approached.

Although it can be passed by bus for club activities and exams. But there
are only two choices for walking out of this main gate, graduation or
expulsion.

Since there is no repetition system, one of these two situations will
inevitably occur within 3 years.

"Recently, I'm thinking about this kind of thing."

It was about time to reach the 2nd grade, I often look back on my own

Page 202 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

feelings lately.

Horikita's brother finally arrived ... 20 minutes before the scheduled time.
After confirming my appearance, Horikita's brother turned his gaze to look at
the environment around me.

No need to ask what is the meaning of his action.

"Unfortunately ... Your sister hasn't arrived yet."

"Oh, I see..."

The time now is around 11:40 a.m. Not that he was late.

However, considering that there was only a little time left, he should have
arrived earlier. When meeting with Ichinose the other day. It is still new in
my mind that Horikita acts like she has a lot of free time.

Could there be some kind of incident that is happening?

"Want me to give her a call?" I suggested it like that.

Rather than me, it should be easier to ask if it's Horikita's brother. I
thought so, but ...

"No, there's no need ..." Responding to my proposal, Horikita's brother
refused by moving his hand.

"If her health deteriorates, she should have contacted me."

"Looks like ... She didn't fall asleep too..." That was not possible, but I
said that there was such a possibility.

"Even if she overslept, there's no need to wake her up either." If she
overslept on this very important day, does that mean that she is no longer
worthy to be covered with him...?

Page 203 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Horikita's brother response did not change even on the last day of the
meeting.

"Well ... It's fine. Besides, there is still time before the promised hour."
Maybe she is currently in a nervous state in her room because she is meeting
her older brother.

"Not to mention Suzune, I didn't expect you to come so early."

"Somehow I feel you will also come early." Meeting place at midday. Of
course, there is plenty of time until the bus departure.

But ... Talking about the last farewell. Of course, both Horikita's brother
and sister should expect to have a long talk here. And as expected, he
appeared 20 minutes before the scheduled time.

The only thing missing is the absence of Horikita who should be the main
character. However, as long as there is no her, there is no choice but to talk
about something. Just spending time in silence is the same as wasting it.

After thinking a little, I talked about what I have been interested in lately.

"Sorry, maybe it's better for me to act a little more about the student
council issue for your sake."

For the sake of stopping Nagumo Miyabi's 'tantrum' ... Horikta's brother
has consulted me. However, at that time I still strongly desired a peaceful life,
so I did not follow it. Even to introduce me to the Vice Chair of Student
Council Kiriyama ..., but it only ended there.

In the end, to this day ... I have not taken any action to move Nagumo.

"Don't worry ... All of that is my responsibility, there is also a problem
about me that imposes them on you." For Horikita's brother this school has
become his past.

Page 204 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

From now on, whatever the situation, he has no need to worry about it
anymore.

"But, even so ... Let me warn you one last time. I basically take a positive
attitude to our school's policy. Despite the basic idea of ​power, there is plenty
of room for the lower classes to win. Yes, although this isn't an easy fight, of
course. "

"I think ... There is no persuasive power if it comes from you who has
always been class A for 3 years."

"That's because many people don't realize the essence of it. Of course,
there are a lot of improvement points on the side of the school too. But if you
look back, you should know Either an uninhabited island exam or an exam at
the end of the school year, there is always an opportunity for the lower
classes to win against the upper classes."

Not just the written exam factor, but the strong search through special
exams as well.

In the uninhabited island test, it is not difficult to win from Class A or
Class B with its strong unity. The same applies to the final school exams.
Even though it is a test that is greatly influenced by luck, in other words ...
This is proof that the lower classes can win.

"Luck determines the magnitude of victory or defeat. That is a necessary
consideration for first-year students who are still inexperienced to win against
the upper classes. But ... At the same time it is something that is not
acceptable to the upper classes. A factor which they don't like... "The school's
consideration of the lower classes creates dissatisfaction from the upper
classes.

Apart from the movement to save 20 million personal points, basically
working together as a class is part of the school system, and it is a mechanism
that does not leave those who have low ability. Each class has students who

Page 205 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

excel and there are also some students who compete at lower levels. Nagumo
must have experienced the same test as us all year and came to the same
thought ...

He wants to make it a more capability and achievement based system that
can be won by individual strengths.

The mechanism where someone at the top will always be at the top and
someone at the bottom will always be at the bottom.

"Perhaps, what Nagumo and the others are trying to do is not a mistake..."

There will be some dissatisfaction, but at the same time, there must also
be many students agreeing. And in the case of second grade students, the
majority of students support it. Of course, it is not just a simple supported.
There must be some students who are swayed by the surrounding situation
and support with such an attitude. If everyone agrees, Then all classes should
compete with each other.

"In terms of class points ..., there is a big gap in Grade 2...?"

"Yes ... Class A Nagumo got 1491 points this March. Class B is 889
points. Class C is 280 points. And Class D is 76 points."

Considering that there was only one year left, Class A is already in a
stable position Situation.

Among them, Nagumo had the courage to propose assistance to any lower
class.

Of course ... With only 76 points, it's almost impossible to turn things
around.

"There should be lots of supporters about it. If you can't win it with your
class, then the only way to go to class A is to win it individually."

Page 206 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Maybe so ... But ..., Nagumo's approach would make many people
unhappy too." If you become too talented and individualistic, that will give
rise to suspicion of your classmates.

That can make everything around him become an enemy.

Horikita's brother, no but Horikita Manabu thinks that the cooperation of
the organization called class is absolute.

As a result, creating an organization with a far-sighted future.

"Isn't that the same with the current system? Three classes besides class A
remain unhappy." I may only be able to imagine what the ideal Nagumo is
trying to create, but if a system that allows victory for individuals is
established, a Plus can be added as an aid to less than 40 students per class.

"Yes ... For example ..."

When I tried to talk, Horikita's brother spoke before me.

"The personal points of students under class B are all collected at once,
and they will use it as a gambling game to get to class A ... Is that right ...?"

(TLkomen: it was revealed how Nagumo promised every talented student
in each class could jump to class A)

I nodded, we really thought of the same idea as him. Regardless of
students who have dropped out of school ..., there are 120 students from class
B to class D. If he collects all of their personal points, it might be easy to
surpass 20 million points. It might even reach 40 million to 60 million points.

Of course ... Not all students can take part in gambling. Right now I don't
know what kind of system they will use ..., but until a while ago, Personal
points can also be cashed at the time of graduation. Because of that, there are
also some students who are fine with their personal points even though
graduating as a Grade D student.

Page 207 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

However, if he is able to get the investors above all the existing conditions
... If you can't win as a class, it's not bad to make a bet at the last moment.

With this, they can increase the number of students who can go to Class
A. The higher the Class A points are, the easier it is to make the last bet come
true.

"Didn't you talk about that to your classmates?"

"It would be a lie if I said there wasn't, but that could never be realized.
Classes A and B compete with each other, but for classes C and D they are
not able to leave enough points to do that." I remember contacting a third
year D student one year ago who seemed to be in trouble. If you keep losing,
it will be harder for him to get class points.

If you fall into a situation where you have to spend every month with 0
points, it will only fall into a negative vortex.

"If it's about that then it hasn't affected anything. However ... Nagumo
plans to hold a festival involving even class A itself. In other words, putting
the risk on his own colleagues."

Students with low ability in class A have the potential to drop out of
school. Surely that's right ... They wouldn't admit it if only Class A was in the
safe zone of a meritocracy system. Both class A to class D must be equal
level about it.

"I don't know how far they will go, but that's a brave decision ..."

"He is just bored with the current situation where his victory has been
confirmed. This may be due to the fact that he, join the Student Council was
just to kill time." If you have the ability and support, no one has the right to
complain about it.

"The class is a community of shared destiny. I think that this framework

Page 208 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

alone should not be broken."

"Because of that, you can't agree with Nagumo's way huh ..."

He did not nod, but Horikita's brother accepted the words.

I understood what he was trying to say, but I couldn't say which was true.

Other than that....

"I will see what Nagumo is trying to do. If he changes the school year
instead ... The whole school becomes more meritocratic, I cannot deny not
experiencing it." Without lying, I decided to report what happened in the
future.

"I see ... So you will go further than me."

"You're exaggerating too much." I just have no intention of stopping
Nagumo and have no way to stop it.

Therefore ... It's not bad to see the world that Nagumo is trying to make.

This one year that Horikta's brother has protected, is really firmly planted
in me.

"I'm not as great as you think ..."

"No, sorry but I don't think so."

Horikita's brother strongly denied the humility I showed.

"In any way, it seems like your judgment about me hasn't decreased ..."

"If there's a part that's decreasing, then I'm lowering the limit." Yeah ...
Come to think of it, Horikita's brother hasn't changed his judgment about me
for almost a year.

Page 209 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Regardless of what he knows, the standards don't change.

"I really don't understand. Which part of me you recognize."

The only information the older brother has compared to other students is
only about stopping acts of violence against his younger sister and adjusting
my test scores upon entry.

Other general information is only about the speed of the legs that I
showed when I ran with this person in the relay.

He doesn't know how good I am at studying or how good I am at sports.

"To a certain extent, I can feel the opponent's skills with my own
sensitivity and intuition."

Is this something abstract and not something concrete huh ...? To be able
to evaluate myself to that extent, that's really great.

"How do you see me with that sensibility? I want to hear it, just think of it
as a farewell gift for me. "

I was interested, so I decided to ask.

Actually, I just want to compare, does he see me as I see myself.
Horikita's brother can definitely answer it without applying additional words.

"Yeah, I see you ..." After a while, he looked back at this year.

"Life experience up to now ... From the looks of it, there are so many
deviations about it. There are no gaps anywhere. There is no need to say
about your strategic knowledge, and no one seems to be able to say anything
about the use of skills in physical strength. You are an opponent I didn't want
to fight against. "

Page 210 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

That's really a good rating. If this is just a simple sensibility. Then it is
true.

"In other words, you gave me a completely white flag ?"

(Tln: white flag means surrender.)

"This and that are different matters. Even if you are a perfect opponent,
there is always a chance of winning." I'm a little relieved by Horikita's
brother who answers like that.

"Especially, competing class in this school. No matter how much
excellence, there is always a limit to doing something. "

"That's right ... That's why I feel drawn to it..."

"Ayanokouji ... What kind of environment did you grow up in? ... It's not
a coincidence that you were born with all of your abilities, right? That's also
not an area that can be reached because you have a family that educates you
thoroughly and thoroughly."

"Didn't you not grow up in an ordinary family environment ...?"

An elite who is capable of serving as Chair of the Student Council must
understand well how to climb up to this.

"Nothing is suddenly above at first. There was a time when I had to
struggle very much for it, but I have made continuous efforts based on it.
From childhood until now and beyond." Horikita said that he stood on the
pile.

"Well... If you follow that theory, then I might have tried more than that."

"That is true..."

To win from those who have tried, must make efforts beyond his efforts.

Page 211 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

It's true that that's not all ..., but only one answer. Horikita Manabu took out
his cell phone. Then, show the cell phone number displayed on the cell phone
screen. Then he turned the screen and displayed another different number.

"Remember these two cell phone numbers. If you have problems after
graduation, you can always consult me. If you can't remember now, you can
write them down, the first is mine and the other is Tachibana. But ... Make
sure to delete it later. "

Contact with people outside of school is prohibited even through this cell
phone. Making notes carelessly will only hurt me.

I'm fine with no problems, remembering the two 11 digit cell phone
numbers in one corner of my head.

Personally, I can't imagine a day when I will use this number ... But there
is no loss in remembering that.

"By the way .., I haven't heard it yet .., where are you going after this?"
Because he also told me Tachibana's cell phone number, I understood that he
would keep in touch even after graduating ... But ...

"About that...."

Horikita who tried to speak, confirmed the time on his cell phone and
stopped his words.

"I'll talk about it after you graduate. Now it's time for that." Soon the time
is right at 12 noon.

In other words, the time when meeting Horikita's brother. But there ... I
could not see the presence of his younger sister.

His expression looked the same as usual, but it made me feel lonely
somewhere.

Page 212 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Isn't it better to contact her?" I can't think that she won't show up here
today.

(Tln: actually the raw is more complex and it will definitely make you
dizzy, but I've simplified it like this.)

"No ... It's better not to." Even if she is involved in an incident, Horikta's
brother seems to remain at his discretion not to contact her.

I really understood that he actually didn't hate his younger sister.

"There's no need for you to be stubborn, right? Sometimes it's not bad to
reach out your hand first ..."

"I'm afraid that my temporary emotions can hamper my sister's growth. If
it's just being involved in an incident, then that's fine. But if she decides not
to meet can make her grow ... Then that's better. More than that ... I'm just
will be a barrier for her. "

"Growing up without meeting you? Do you really think your sister arrived
at such thoughts?"

"Suzune will judge that." That is not an area that can be said ..., therefore
he is not honest.

"You don't seem to be showing optimistic things ..."

"I just decided how to use that optimism."

I think it's time to use it now. One minute passed from 12:00 hours.

I thought he would go directly to the main gate, but he hasn't started
walking towards it. While not showing his optimism, but apparently he
showed a little.

"I have something that I want to confirm with you. I want you to answer it

Page 213 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

as a sign of my graduation."

Said Horikita's brother who changed the direction of the conversation and
his gaze. I nodded at his optimism for the last time.

"If it's something I can answer ..." Maybe when this conversation is over,
Horikita's brother will walk towards the main gate.

"Why do you spend time hiding your talents?" That's not something
unexpected, but it's a pretty straightforward statement to the point.

"It's simple. I just don't like to stand out ..."

"Even if you hide your true identity, are you still going to implement it?"

"I don't know ... I never thought about it that deep." When entering this
school, I just want to live a normal student life.

However, if asked like this, there might be some doubts about it.

"Normally ... I will decide to spend time as an ordinary student that can be
found anywhere. There is a winding road, and sometimes there are times
when I have to do it."

"Do you intend to continue doing the same thing in the future?"

"I don't know ... Because lately I've been getting more attention. Although
there are not many things to do seriously, they may have increased. "

Actually, there are many parts that I can't understand. But for now I
express my feelings honestly.

After hearing that, what answer would Horikita's brother give?

"Lately I ... Always think about what I can do and what I can't do at this
school." He said so ... While looking far towards the school building.

Page 214 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Did I do my best? Is there no room for me to grow further?" In other
words, that means ... He has lived a life in an environment that is almost the
opposite of mine. That's why he climbed to the top until he became President
of the Student Council.

"Is it really meaningful for you to continue to live your school life behind
the scenes like this ...?"

"I don't think it's wrong to say it as comfort."

"That might be true ... But, didn't you come to this school to leave
something ...? If it's true ... Then, I think you should do your best for it."

"Leaving something ... That can only be done by someone like you." I
denied like that, but Horikita's brother seemed unsure about it.

"If you can't leave anything to school, then you can leave something for
the students. Carve out the students ... To never forget the memory that there
is a student named Ayanokouji Kiyotaka." Carve out my existence in
someone's heart. I never even thought about that.

"I really thank you for making my sister grow. But ... I know very well for
a year seeing you, that you are not a man who will end with just this. You are
hiding an extraordinary power. That's why ... Don't disappoint me. "

Encouragement as student council president and as a senior at the
Advanced Nursing High School.

"If you chase yourself within the limits, then make it a memorable
memory for the past 3 years."

"Becoming an unforgettable existence ? I might have dropped out while in
the middle of two or three years."

"Even if you were involved in an incident and were determined to drop

Page 215 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

out before 3 years. It is still possible to leave memories about you. When you
look at the past 3 years ... If you can make a lot of students think that, he
really thankful for meeting a student named Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. I think
you've achieved the same thing as that. "

It was told once more .., I felt the words gradually sink into my heart.

"I understand ... I'll think about it carefully."

Now ... That's the best answer I can reply.

"It's okay. That's not the answer I have to look for, but you have to look
for it ... Ayanokouji ..."

About the student council president, led by Nagumo, about his younger
sister Horikita, and even about school. The decision finally lies with myself.

In this world full of ingredients that can make you grow and develop.
Wherever it is, there are always instructions to improve yourself.

Even now, dealing with Horikita's brother is part of it. Assuming that I
will spend the rest of my school life quietly behind the scenes ..., it is true
that I will definitely leave something later ...

My memory. But, memories that seem so pleasant. At first I was satisfied
with that. That's why I lived as calmly as possible for the past year. But that
might not be the answer, it seems.

There is a meaning why I came to this school.

Yes, it is true.

"In the end ... I just like lecturing you, please forgive me."

"No. I feel like I received the best words from my senior for his juniors."

Page 216 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Parting with you ... Somewhere I feel lonely. I decided to stop saying that.

"Huh ... Looks like we both show sides that don't look like us, huh..."
Sometimes we might be able to talk because we know that there is distance
about it.

And sometimes you can understand without using words.

"It's about time ... I'll leave ..." Feeling his sister didn't show up even after
12:10, his brother said that.

After that, Horikita's brother who saw the school somewhere felt reluctant
then looked towards the first year dormitory.

The absence of a younger sister who was supposed to come. Surely no
one can anticipate this development.

Is that your answer Horikita ...?

(Tln: I mean the little sister Suzune)

I could not help feeling that doubt. I certainly admit that brother and sister
have a slightly complicated relationship.

(Tln: complicated / bad, just like you guys, the kanji means the same
thing.)

However, you should have suffered for many years in order to break this
relationship.

And finally, time to get the right answer. I reached into my pocket then
take out my cell phone.

Shouldn't we force her to meet her brother here? Whether it's for a
moment or a glance, if you can push Horikita even if forced.

Page 217 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

No .... Wouldn't it have the opposite effect if you did that? I might break
the relationship between brother and sister who will start to melt it. In the
end, whether she wanted to meet or not want to meet was something that only
the two of them felt. This is not something a third party has to intervene in.

"Sorry ... By the end, my sister has caused you problems..." Seeing my
feelings, Horikta's brother calmly apologized to me.

"I have not received any losses." Turning his back, the man who led for
three years in this school... Will leave...

"For the past three years ... I have pride that I can continue to lead,
without stopping."

That includes everything.

The last word of Brother Horikita looked back for 3 years.

"I lost many of my classmates along the way. Even in other classes ...
"Even though he said that, he didn't feel disappointed.

"As a result, we had a total of 24 school dropouts before graduation. Even
in the third Grade there were 13 dropouts."

I don't understand ... Whether this is more or not than last year.

If I'm not mistaken ... Nagumo and the others in Grade 2, there were 17
students who dropped out until last winter.

"You only have 3 people in Grade 1 ..." It's not hard to imagine that it will
be tighter when you pass the next school year.

"Is it necessary for students who are unable to solve their problems to
fall?"

(Tln: in raw mean it fell, but here it might mean dropping out of school or

Page 218 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

drop out)

"Of course, Students who drop out are basically those who don't meet the
standards. But sometimes you can also lose a student who excels."
Sometimes you beat someone, or sometimes you get defeated by a stronger
opponent. It is not uncommon for a student who is not expected to disappear.

"Some voices have questioned the school system like that ..., but at the
same time I am also really grateful to this school."

Horikita's brother does not deny the way the school does things, to
eliminate his peers.

"In this school, students study education for the future of Japan. It is
impossible for 100 to adapt to 100 people. The same is true for finding a
university or finding a job in any company." Passing or failing is assessed not
only regarding suitability or unsuitability, but also from various final results
as well.

"I can learn about that philosophy. I can feel it from my skin. After
leaving here, I will never lose the selection because of half-hanging."

That much you can grow, huh? How many students will reach this height
in the same school year ...?

"Enough to get here huh ..." The main gate. a few meters away the main
gate could be seen.

Then ..., for the last time Horikta's brother faced me.

"This may be a one-sided request, but I leave Suzune to you." Saying that,
Horikita's brother extended his right hand to me.

"Can you accept shaking hands with me?"

"Sure...."

Page 219 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

I held the hand in his presence.

Shaking hands is the act of holding his hand and my hand together.
Horikita's brother hand grip contains mysterious power.

Then we both let go of each other.

"Until we meet again, Ayanokouji ..." Leaving a parting word, he began to
approach the main gate. If he leaves here, then no one can do anything about
it.

2 years at the shortest. Or meet him again, will only come true after the
dropout from school.

And I will never meet this man again ...

"Brother ..." A loud scream came from behind me. There is no room for
doubt in this situation, whose voice it is ... Listening to that voice, Horikita's
brother stopped.

Apparently, right at the last minute it seems like ...

After noon, they will be separated in meters. If her arrival was only one
minute late, surely it would not be possible to see his face.

When Horikita's brother looked back, by seeing his eyes, I understood for
the first time that there was a strong shock including ...

Is it really surprising that your little sister came ...?

Of course there are ... I think like that ... but apparently not.

No ... That's not all... Is that right? The real reason for the shock, as soon
as I found out the answer ...

Page 220 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"You...."

Past the scheduled time ... Horikita, who was running out of breath, stood
beside me.

But right now, to Horikita, I'm the same as the surrounding scenery. Not
seen in her view.

Then she took a step closer to her brother while breathing.

"I'm sorry for being late ...!" She apologized while bowing her head.

Why late? Usually will ask like that.

"No ......" But for this time ... There was no need to answer that reason

With just one look, you will be able to understand the reason. Confusion,
not ... But pure surprise. That's because there is a big difference between
yesterday's Horikita and today's Horikita.

So is this ...? The reason why Horikita's brother found out that her
younger sister did not grow up soon after entering this school? Horikita
Manabu seems lost for words after seeing Horikita's current state.

Yes ... so do I. ... On this last day of farewell. I can clearly understand the
readiness of Horikita to come to this place with the intention of being late.

With a sister like that ..., there's no way her brother would scold her.

"Looks like you've changed, huh ..." A brother who was relieved by the
appearance of his younger sister calmly said that.

"I ... Has it really changed?"

"No ... I will correct it, you seem to have returned to your old self ...
Suzune ..." That was not the beginning, but returned to the origin.

Page 221 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"One year ... No... It takes years for that." Horikita slowly answered the
question from the brother, while holding her breath.

"Why can't I return to my former self faster ... Even if I'm sorry, I can't
always regret it ..." One step, Horikita began to approach her brother.

"What are you thinking right now ...?"

"What is it ... To be honest ..., a lie if I say there is still no part that makes
me confused." Horikita was confused because her words did not continue
well.

While staring at her with soothing eyes, Horikita's brother waited for the
spinning words.

"But ... I can say this with certainty. I have always followed the shadow of
my brother. However, today, that kind of me is no longer here."

Horikita Suzune only lives for her brother, and only thinks of her brother.

Study and exercise are all for the sake of being recognized by her brother.

"Then ... Because you have stopped chasing my back, what will you do in
the future?" Starting from the brother. Horikita regulated her breathing, then
twisted more words.

"Because now I have learned my lesson from chasing someone's back. I
will find a way in my own way."

Right now, Horikita has only just let go of her own doubts. She finally
began to look around the environment.

Still, She could not stop her footsteps.

"And then....!" Live your own way.

Page 222 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Looks easy, but is very difficult to do.

Just by showing it ... It should be good enough as a gift for her brother.
But ..., Horikita doesn't seem to end with just that.

"I, from now on will walk forward with my classmates." Be an example to
those around her, and to those who will guide others. That is a very important
factor as a leader.

"And I will study together with my friends in this school ..., to find my
way." When I met Horikita a year ago, I didn't think she could grow this far.

More superior than others, a model student who is insolent. A neighbor
who is just adjacent to my seat. Just having good and bad individual abilities
... That's my picture of her.

"I see ... Finally, you really returned to your heart, as I once remembered."
Not like me ... That might be seen by Horikita Manabu.

Someone who knows and believes the potential of her younger sister more
than anyone.

Horikita's brother placed the luggage he was carrying and shortened the
remaining distance from Horikita.

Freed from the distance that the two were almost separated.

Both of them are now within range if they want to reach out to each other
with their hands.

"Do you know what is my biggest reason to stay away from you?"

"....No."

It's possible Horikita didn't understand her brother's feelings well.

Page 223 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

She just broke the curse of her past. Unconsciously, She was in a
condition like a treasure box that was forced to be opened. There is no 'key' to
answer that question. Why did Horikita's brother reject his sister so much?

Why push her away ?

"I really care about you ..."

"Hu ..!?" Like telling her the 'key' ... Horikita's brother gave her last
present.

"And when you were little ... I felt a great talent from you. Even though
you are not yet skilled, you are like a shining rough stone. In the end, the
rough stone is polished, and I have hope that you will be able to show a
power that surpasses more than I can. " The final step, Horikita's brother
approached her.

The distance that can touch it is only by lifting a little arm.

"But you are trapped in an illusion. Then you decide that you are inferior
to me, giving up if it is not possible to overwhelm me, and choosing the
option to discard your own growth. You only choose to catch up behind my
back as a final stop. I just can't forgive such a thing ... "

Just wanted to chase after her brother's shadow and stand next to him.
Surely that's not a bad thing.

It can be said that it is a laudable goal.

However, in other words ... The ultimate goal is when she can stand
together parallel to her brother. It was truly like the last stop.

A younger sister who wants to overtake her older brother, and an older
brother conflict that she wants to go beyond. That was the one who created a
big gap in the two brothers.

Page 224 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Be strong ... And be even better..."

Gently, her brother hugged his younger sister ... Horikita made her best
effort just to stand alone ..., but the brother hugged herself tightly.

[Short hair] Horikita swings.

"Bro ....."

"You'll be fine. I'm sure of it now ..." not for me to be able to say anything
more.

There is a room where you can't say anything.

"There is something that I kept quiet for a number of years ... So I have to
apologize to you ..."

"Apologize?"

Not knowing what that was, Horikita listened while holding her brother's
chest.

"During this time, I am the main reason why we have a relationship like
this ..."

"What does it mean...?" In a small voice, Horikita asked.

"Back then, I once said I like long hair, right ... But it was a lie..."

"Eh, is that true !?" Horikita let out a surprised voice that had never been
known before.

"I intend to see if you really accept my words and will extend your hair
even if you lose color in yourself, when you choose that short hair style. I just
want to make sure of that ... "As a result, Horikita began to lengthen her hair

Page 225 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

to match her brother's preferences.

Therefore ... When he met her again at this school, he immediately
understood.

Nothing has changed from Horikita Suzune.

To the younger sister who just kept chasing her brother's back, He felt
disappointed ...

There is no need to check whether she is successful or not in learning or
sports.

"... Forgive that lie."

"It's cruel ... Brother..."

"I will not make any excuses."

Page 226 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Page 227 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Chances are Horikita's brother did not correct his lie intentionally.

For the sake of being able to feel and believe that his little sister will
change one day.

"I forgive it ... My big brother's lie... Thanks to that lie, I am me today."
Because Horikita found out, She laughed and forgave the lie. Holding the
younger sister's shoulder and then face to face. Horikita showed her brother
the best smile she could make.

In response, Horikita's brother also smiled to take off his mask. He is not a
man who never shows his smile.

But ... This is the first time I've seen his soft, soothing smile. I might not
be able to see a smile like that again.

One more year ... If he can spend another year in the same school as me.

I feel I can be more familiar with a man named Horikita Manabu. And
that could be a change.

Very regrettable.

"Suzune. Two years later, I'm waiting for you outside the main gate. Show
me your growth ..."

"Fine ... I will fight and fight to the end ..." Whatever is holding back
Horikita's growth has been removed.

From here onwards, Horikita only looked forward and continued running.

"Ayanokouji ... I really hope to see you again ..." Maybe Horikita's
brother has the same feelings as me.

Page 228 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Yes..."

While I know that it is a wish that will never come true, I strongly agree
that the feeling is the same.

"It's time ..." It's near 12:30

Without realizing it .., the time of the bus will come near. They both
seemed reluctant, but slowly they both took their distance.

"See you later ..." Saying that, Horikita's brother passed the main gate.

Thus, the departure of a man. Horikita stared straight at his back and
continued to stare at him without even blinking.

Horikita Manabu with his younger sister ... I feel like they are leaving me
directions.

Page 229 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 1

Even though her brother's back had disappeared from the main gate, we
still looked in the same direction for a while.

However, there are circumstances that should not continue to sink into
those feelings. Horikita stiffened unable to move ..., I tried to release it with
my words.

"Don't feel lonely ..."

"Yes ..." Although this was not the last time, let alone the figure of her
brother in the next two years, even the voice will not be heard. But, Horikita's
expression grew stronger, and showed a face that looked dignified.

"Thank you Ayanokouji-kun ... I was saved because you were here
today."

"Really? I thought I was just blocking you."

"That's not true. If you don't talk to my brother, I won't be able to make it
on time. I'm really grateful for that."

Horikita once again thanked me, A person who obviously shouldn't have
appeared

However, her gaze was not aimed at me, but facing somewhere at that
time.

"Besides, the day my brother embarked on the journey, it would be sad if
no one but I came to see him off..." Even though it's the way her brother
chose, there must be a feeling of loneliness somewhere.

Although this was his decision, it would be a bit deserted. All of that,

Page 230 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

must be for the sake of his younger sister.

To make it easier to deal with Horikita, he pushed the others away. Maybe
all of that was calculated by her brother ...

"I have a bond with Horikita's brother. To the extent that I also want to
talk more with him ..." At first I did not accept it as a greeting, but now I
think it would be better to be able to talk to him a little more ... Looks like it's
useless crying over spilled milk.

Two people walked back to the hostel.

"Even so, your hair ... You really cut it, huh..." Even though yesterday
was normal, but considering the delay, it wasn't difficult to imagine her
coming up with the thought to do this this morning. It must have been the last
minute choice.

"I always liked this kind of thing, but somehow it feels a bit strange ..."

(TLN: of course ... I just read it also feels a bit strange if Suzune is that
honest. Normally Suzune will definitely answer with a lot of twists and turns
... "What the heck is that none of your business" "like that.)

Yes ... Even though she said that ... she could not suddenly cut it and ruin
her brother's big moments. For the sake of escorting someone's departure
with the right appearance, She even bet on it. As a result, Horikita won.

"But wouldn't it be better to say hello beforehand? If you're afraid you
won't see your brother, wouldn't you use me to drag him to increase your
chances of seeing him?" If she would have decided to come early, then we
could have worked together.

That's good because I happened to talk and get time for her ...

"Asking for your help ... Will you be happy to work together?"

Page 231 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"At least for today, I'll do it."

"Is it true ...? That's what I want to say, but actually... I really was relying
on you." Horikita answers like that. However, there isn't any history
displayed on my cell phone.

"Because I was in such a hurry, I forgot my cell phone in the dormitory
and just left to cut my hair. I realized this after the cutting started. Really ... I
could have missed it ..." In other words, that Has it become a situation where
you can't do anything else ...?

Instead of returning home to retrieve the cell phone after completion, it is
faster to immediately run to the main gate.

"Stupid ..." Horikita laughed at herself.

"That much also shows Horikita feelings about this big day, of course ..."

The thought of rushing to the store and at the same time going straight
here ... It must be interesting.

Horikita who usually moves in a planned manner, it is not surprising that
she was shaken by her mistakes like that.

"The hair was cut short for the purpose of dividing myself."

"Isn't that about what your brother likes or dislikes in his head corner?"

"Of course, I'm just returning to my past self. But ... The time when I
started chasing, my legs synchronized. In that case, I think that would be the
most emotional thing to do."

Do you happen to be called the best policy huh? After seeing her long hair
for a year, there was a feeling of discomfort that was very strong in me.

"After all these years, how do you feel back to your old days?"

Page 232 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"I'm confused if you ask me that ... It's true that I liked short hair like this
when I was little. But all this time I always spend my time with long hair, of
course, there will be a certain attachment about it. To be honest .., this is
really complicated. " She had liked short hair for a long time. But now she
accepted her long hair ...

Her past self and her current self. There is no doubt that the two are
Horikita Suzune.

"Now ... I feel like I can accept both of me." Saying that, She touched her
short hair with her fingers.

"There are many things that I can't see right now ... So I will think of it
from scratch, will I grow my hair long or not at graduation later ... For
example, if my hair continues to grow, it might take about two the exact year
when the graduation ceremony returned to the length of my previous hair ...
"Her present self and her past self. Horikita has accepted both.

"Yes, I know that, aside from the short length of my hair ... I can meet my
brother properly." I will also look forward to it ... What will happen to her
short hair ... In the end ... Horikita Manabu left many things to Horikita. If it
doesn't help much, Horikita thinks she can't grow, but that might just end up
as my misunderstanding ...

"Do you still have regrets left?"

Actually ... One hour... No ... One day won't be enough to talk to her,
there should be a lot of feelings over the past few years that she can't talk
about even if she wants to talk about it.

"That ... Is something that cannot be done." Horikita nodded to convince
herself.

"Besides, the wall blocking my brother and me has disappeared. From
now on I only need to run past him for the next two years and talk a lot with

Page 233 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

him after that. Right ...?"

"It's true ... He also said he would wait at your graduation ceremony."
After the graduation ceremony is over, you can be free to contact outsiders.

At that time properly, can you meet with your brother and talk together?

"Everything that happened today is a big harvest, I will be punished if I
ask for an award more than this." She changes quickly.

Yes ... On the surface, She changed. She tried to calm down in her head,
trying to change it. But changing the feelings is not an easy thing.

"But ... Well, it's fine here." Horikita who stopped in her footsteps,
stopped and said that. The face no longer looked at me.

No ... It's true that I said I can't see, huh?

"What is wrong?" I actually already know, but I'll try to hear it.

Horikita who is usually calm might get angry if she realizes those words.
However, there is no room for Horikita to see it right now ...

"I ... Just a minute... Will take a last detour before I go back home."

She tried to trick me, in an implied way to send me home.

"Detour?" Horikita could not answer when I asked where she was going.

"No, it means it's like a walk ..." For a moment she trembled, as she
responded ambiguously.

"Want me to accompany ..?"

"There's no need ..." Saying that, Horikita turned to face me then walked
away ...

Page 234 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

She didn't go to the Keyaki mall or go to the convenience store ... But she
walked to an unpopular place. I think it would be too late to return to the
dormitory with me.

Horikita like that ... I followed her. Surely I would not leave Horikita
alone until she could calm down like that.

"Why ... Are you following me?"

Horikita said that shrill voice without turning back.

"I don't know ... Why...?"

"If you don't have a reason ... Don't follow me..." Being refused, but I
show no sign of returning.

Because for the past year, I've been used to hearing bad words from her.

"Then I will say my reason, because I just want to bully you."

"... What are you saying..., you really can't understand?..."

"Is that so ...? Then I'll say it again."

"No, you don't need to say it."

"No, that can't be ..." I intended to break the defensive line that Horikita
was guarding, and slowly open my mouth.

"When you're sad, isn't it okay to cry without holding back?"

Yes. I Just say that.

"... You ... Are you not listening to my words?"

Page 235 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"I listened to it. You are really happy from your heart, Being able to make
up with your brother right ..."

"That's right ... Therefore, I am truly satisfied. So where ... Where is the
sad part?"

"Of course you are not satisfied. It's true that you can talk to him in the
next two years. But humans aren't creatures that easily understand and take it
for granted ..."

A girl who dreams of that day ... Has to wait two more years.

Not that there is no happy feeling, but not everything ends like that.

"I ... I am satisfied ... I am satisfied with it."

"Then can you face me now?" Horikita who keeps turning her back.

Shaking his head left and right without listening to my request.

"I refuse ... Why should I see you?"

"I don't know ... Why is that..?" Walked quickly past her back and said a
few words to Horkita who tried to escape.

"It's okay, you can cry." Reunited with her brother for the first time in two
years and was rejected by him. Fighting along with a high fever on an
uninhabited island. Because of voting within the class, they become the
object of hatred in class. Whatever it is ... Horikita never cries.

"I, I ..."

Stopped trying to continue.

After working hard, She was able to communicate with her brother. For a
long time, Horikita had to fight here at this school.

Obviously, as long as tomorrow starts, you will be able to return to the
relationship of laughing and talking to each other. However, Her brother has
passed through this door to begin his new journey.

The next meeting will be at least 2 years later.

"No ... Don't..."

Horikita's voice began to tremble slowly.

In these long years, Horikita will have to fight here and in this school.

"Though ... What else can I do ...?" Horikita who tried to argue, but she
could not contain her feelings ..

Right now, starting to remember her brother who had just left.

"Even though....,"

"Though ... When I finally realized my mistake...!" Collapse, kneeling on
her knees. Covering her face with her hands and tears flowed freely, but she
was unable to do anything to stop it.

"Again, I am separated from my brother ...!" If she could, She would
definitely want to jump out to another part of the main gate.

But, She showed a younger sister who watched her brother leave proudly.

"Yes ... I'm lonely ..."

"Very lonely ... Really lonely ...!" That girl is crying, looks like a child.

Filled with tears, but Horikita wants to remain to survive. For example, if
this place is not a school, Horikita will probably chase her brother wherever
he is.

Meet when you want to meet, and talk when you want to talk.

"Now ... You just need to cry until you're satisfied here. Then, show your
brother that you've grown once more. You, from now on, have changed this
second too ..." No need to hurry up. There are still two years. If she has two
years, Horikita will definitely grow even better ... There is no mistaking that
her brother would also be waiting for her.

"That's right ... Manabu ...!"

(TLN: touched ... Kiyo has started accepting Manabu.)

My voice, which could no longer be reached, was sucked in by the blue
sky that was welcoming spring ...

Part 2

After venting all her feelings, Horikita soon stopped crying.

However, because her energy had not fully recovered, She remained
seated like that. I stood beside her and waited for her calmly. Luckily, there
isn't anyone around here. Appearances that have never been seen by other
students.

"Isn't that great ..."

"What's good about that? It's very humiliating to me when you see this ..."
Though I intended to cheer her up, but it didn't seem that easy.

"Well ... Maybe so ..." That's why she tried to be alone. For the sake of not
showing her crying appearance to me.

"Since you've already seen it, I can't help it. I'll just think positive ..."

"Positive thinking?"

".. It's so good to be seen by you ... I decided to think so ..."

Yes, Horikita exhaled, relieved. It's true, She definitely doesn't want her
face to be seen by other students.

"So ... Do you want to share this situation with Keisei and the others?"

Taking out the cell phone, I then aimed the camera lens at her.

"You want to be killed huh...?" I Turn off my cell phone immediately. She
showed me angry eyes.

"Kidding..."
