After confirming that Natsuhara-san didn’t get into any trouble (she gave me a signal by waving at me from her room), I went on my way home. I walked home slowly while thinking about the event that had just transpired. When I reached the Yamaoka family’s house, I saw the front gate was filled with people for some reason. “Huh? The police?” There was a police car with its red light flashing parked nearby. In front of the entrance of the house, I could see Aunt Yamaoka talking with a…- 51.5 K • Ongoing
“It’s true that I lost my key. I was waiting for them to come home, but since I was tired from staying up late to study the other day, I fell asleep right away.” “When I woke up, it was already dark,” she continued. “Since it was cold, I tried to go inside and guess what I saw? The light on the second floor was on.” “Huh?” My heart grew cold. “This kind of thing could happen, it seems, Yamaoka-kun. They ignored their own child sleeping in front of the house on a cold…- 51.5 K • Ongoing
- “Jeez…” Natsuhara-san said while smiling. “You were the one who brought me here and now you're telling me you didn’t bring your wallet?” “Sorry.” We paid the bill and left the restaurant. We walked together along the waterway. Above our heads was the clear, starless night sky. A dry breeze struck my cheeks. When I stormed out of the house, I was in so much of a hurry that I almost forgot to bring my coat with me, let alone other things including my wallet. And so…

- I entered a restaurant in a hurry and ordered a meal and a drink that caught my eye in the drink bar. When I gave her a cup of tea, Natsuhara-san gingerly wrapped her cold hands around the cup. “So warm…” “It’ll feel warmer if you drink the whole thing.” After she took a few sips, color gradually returned to her cheeks and lips. Seeing that, I patted my chest in relief. If anything were to happen to her, I don’t think I can stand it… “How long were you waiting…

- A dozen or so minutes later, I followed the black cat to a beautiful house at the end of a small back alley in the residential area. At the entrance of the house, in front of the automated door, there was a figure crumpled down. It was a middle school girl sitting on her knees. Her face was tucked into her shirt and she wasn’t moving. “Natsuhara-san…?” That pretty-looking black hair was definitely hers. It was currently in the middle of December. The night wind could actually…

- I heard a sudden clacking sound, so I looked up from my desk. The clock on my desk showed that it was currently 9pm. I was busy studying for the upcoming exam. There was a problem that I had been struggling to solve and I managed to solve it successfully after going through it a second time. Clack, clack. The sound continued for a while. Out of curiosity, I tried to look for the source of the sound. I found a small eye peering through the gap between the curtains. “!” I stood up in…

- From that day on, she started smiling more. Though you wouldn’t be able to tell, because she only made a subtle change in her expressions. I could tell that she was smiling by the slight movements of her eyes and cheeks. That was how Natsuhara-san smiled. Seeing that made me happy. My days passed by quickly just by looking at her. No matter how cold the day was, I would feel warm whenever I realized she would be at that park. Camellias bloomed in that park. Its deep red color seemed…

- “Haaah!” A ferocious scream echoed, followed by a loud step. I failed to follow the movement of the shinai as it moved too quickly for me to see. The power she unleashed was beyond my imagination. I was clenching my fists tightly in the audience seat, while shutting my mouth shut. It was my attempt to not be crushed by the atmosphere. It was late autumn, in November. The north wind had started to blow, making the area around Tokyo Budoukan felt a taste of its coldness. Currently, I was…

- It was the morning of the first day of school after the long summer vacation. I showed up at the usual park and found Natsuhara-san there. She looked a little tanner than the last time I saw her. It was great that she still looked healthy and cute. “Summer is simply the worst. It’s hot and stuffy inside a bogūBogū is armor you wear in kendo.. I felt like dying.” Apparently, Natsuhara-san spent her summer vacation practicing kendo. The kendo club had a summer camp, so she spent her time…

- Ever since I came to live with the Yamaokas, I was always in the good hands of my stepsister, Anna. “What are you getting excited about? Don’t get ahead of yourself just because dad praised you.” She would drag me back to reality with her usual retorts like this. Anyway, when I showed the Yamaoka couple my mid-term exams results, they were so happy to the point that they made a cake to celebrate the occasion with me. After I left the living room, Anna, who had been smiling while eating…
