June was finally over. Summer arrived, accompanied by the sound of the cicadas. It was the final exam season. Suzuno had recovered to her usual state. An overly realistic-looking melonpan keychain was hanging from her bag. “I didn’t expect you to place the keychain out in the open like that… Isn’t it embarrassing?” “Huh? What are you on about? You were the one who picked this gift for me, have some confidence!” My question of concern was met with a snarky comment from her. Now,…- 51.5 K • Ongoing
I took out a small bag from inside my school bag. “Natsuhara Suzuno-san.” With the same grandeur as giving out an award, I held out the bag in Suzuno’s direction. Seeing the bag wrapped in a red ribbon, Suzuno was dumbfounded. “Happy birthday, Natsuhara Suzuno-san.” “Eh?” “Your birthday is in June, right? That’s why I thought of celebrating it by giving you a gift. It isn’t anything special though…” I handed the bag to the confused looking Suzuno. “Happy…- 51.5 K • Ongoing
- The beauty of the reflected orange hue of twilight on the surface of the river gave me a sense of melancholy. Suzuno and I leaned on the wall on the bank of the Tamagawa River. In the end, Suzuno’s mother never came back, and Suzuno ended up having to attend the meeting by herself. After she was done, we left the school gate together. “I don’t want to go home,” Suzuno said while we were walking side by side. And so, we went to the Tamagawa River. “Sorry for earlier. I did something…

- Seeing Suzuno depressed was hard for me. Whenever I took a peek in her classroom, I could only see her sprawling her body on her desk. She was also putting less and less effort into her kendo practices. I saw her being summoned by her advisor, Arasaka-sensei once. We still ate our breakfast together and she still let me sit next to her, but we didn’t talk that much. I didn’t know what to do. My sole purpose to keep living in this world was to help Suzuno, but I couldn’t even think of a…

- As the sports festival ended, the rainy season started. The sky was engulfed by dark clouds. Just to be safe, I took it easy on Sunday and managed to recover completely by Monday. Under the blessing of the light rain, I went to the park to meet Suzuno as usual. When she saw me, she hurriedly stood up. Her body looked tense. After hearing my greetings, tension seemed to leave her body as she sat back down on the bench. “Good morning. Thank goodness that you’re okay. I almost got a heart attack…

- You know what, Suzuno? Somewhere deep inside my heart, I was probably doubting the feelings that the Yamaoka couples had toward me. I mean, my existence had no value whatsoever. My own blood mother almost killed me, the shinigami cursed me and I was fated to die quickly. My existence was worthless, no matter how you try to look at it. It was hard to believe that anyone would ever care about someone like me. But now, I felt like I could get over that feeling and start over. Everything was…

- It was decided that they would drive me home, even though the school was only ten minutes away. In the car, there was my stepsister, Anna, who was waiting for the rest of the family in the backseat while working on an exercise for her middle school entrance exam. When she saw me, she mouthed the word ‘idiot’ at me. I gotta agree with her. I was truly an idiot for causing so much trouble to the Yamaokas. When I got home, I drank some more salty water before going to bed. I slept soundly that…

- They took me to the infirmary and laid me down on the bed. My homeroom teacher, Arasaka-sensei came and asked me, “Are you okay?” before offering me a glass of water. “Try to drink it if you can. If you can't, I'll call an ambulance for you.” The one who gave that brisk instruction to me was the school nurse, an old female teacher. If possible, I’d rather not get in the ambulance at all. “I’ll drink it.” I slowly raised my body, took the glass of water and drank its…

- In the end, the result of the relay was our class’s crushing defeat. On top of that, we only managed to come in third place out of five classes in the overall standings. Seeing such half-assed result, I didn’t know what to feel. Should I be disappointed? Should I be happy about it? “Well, at least we aren’t dead last!” Meanwhile, Motoyama seemed to be happy about the situation. Even though he was the one who shouted the loudest about winning the whole thing, he accepted the result quite…

- With the sound of the signal pistol, the relay started. I found my eyes following Suzuno’s figure as she ran. She ran like the wind. Her long, slender legs showed off their full strength as they brought her away from the other classes’ competitors. But, her face was expressionless. It was probably because she hated being there. Most likely, she didn’t even care whether her class won the relay or not. Even so, she was still doing her job earnestly. It made me realize once again, how…
