Kazuya was invited, but he didn't come.

Actually there are three girls, but if Kazuya came, I was going to break up on the way and date them together. I grew up with Kazuya from elementary school to high school. I used to play well when I was in elementary school, but recently stopped playing. I just wanted to stay as before. I've always liked it, but I haven't made a confession. I couldn't help, so I went to see the fireworks with my friends in a yukata. I wish I had more fun if Kazuya was next to me. The three of us took pictures of the yukata and sent them to Kazuya.

"I'm sorry I didn't see my yukata! Cute! " Next year we will go together!

After the fireworks, I decided to go home with my friends. There is a police car stopped in front of the house for some reason.

Something happened! ?

Although he was in a yukata, he quickly entered the entrance. At the entrance, Aimi is crying in her yukata and a police officer is explaining to her parents.

"Aimi! What happened?"

Aimi notices and turns here.

"--- Kazuya ni-chan"

As it was, I cried again.

Instead, a police officer explained.

"Actually, a man was wearing a stab at a place near a convenience store where a demon incident occurred and Aimi Manabe and his friends were about to be attacked. It was a story that the man was an acquaintance."

"What is that acquaintance? Maybe ..."

Mom will answer instead. Even if I look at her mother's face, she is ragged by tears.

"Saori, Kazuya-kun. We took the criminal with Aimi and his friends."

"Well, then, Kazuya? Is Kazuya Shiina safe?"

While taking a breath, the police officer began to speak with an incomprehensible face.

"Sorry, when I arrived at the hospital, I was already in cardiopulmonary arrest."

It became pure white.

I had been exchanging messages today.

"I'm sorry ... I'm sorry. Kazuya said to me," Run away! " Then go to the criminal to protect us ... "

Aimi apologizes while crying. Saori hugged Aimi.

"Kazuya helped me. Aimi was good and safe."

There is no memory after the police officer returned. She cried too much in bed and fell asleep.

◇◇◇

The school was on summer vacation, but there were extraordinary meetings and details were reported. Kazuya Shiina said she faced the culprit herself to protect her junior high school girls from street devils. On the stage, the principal explained while wiping tears. Back in the classroom, Kazuya's desk was decorated with flowers.

In the classroom we cried with friends.

A few days later, I went to Kazuya's funeral.

Kazuya's face was beautiful. She hugged her in the coffin and cried, but she came back with her mother's shoulder. Aimi was crying all the time.

Saori looks down at the ceiling while lying in bed.

"Thank you Kazuya for saving Aimi. If you came to the fireworks, maybe Aimi might have been dangerous. I couldn't confess but I've always liked Kazuya."

He muttered while watching a photo of Kazuya hidden in the classroom.
