"Kenichi, this"

After school and no one from my class, I handed Kenichi a few sheets of paper.

Kenichi receives it and looks at it as a flap.

And I said, "Sankyu ~" in the usual light tone.

"Is this okay?I can't tell the difference because I don't remember that much.... "

"That's okay, that's it.Enough because you know me!

"Really? I hope so."

"And I don't know if Showa wrote it, but even if I dropped it and picked it up, you wouldn't understand the contents, right?

Oh, that's what I'm talking about.

"Haha. That's what I'm talking about. Keep asking!

"Oh, I'll take care of it."

When I said that, Kenichi smiled and put the paper I received in the file.

I just saw it a little bit, but it must be in my head.

... you're no less impressive than Rin, aren't you?

Well, is it time to go home?

"Hey Kenichi...."

Hmm?

"Is there anything else I can do?

Hmm? Enough as it is.I'll just leave it to Showa right now, and I don't want any more.I shouldn't have fallen overwork. "

"But Kenichi...."

"No, no, it's not good to go too far.Besides, Showa's job is not that part.Well... I don't know what it's like to be impatient. "

…………

"It's okay. Wakamiya is not so weak and has a harp sound.And you're saying, "I'll hurt you for this."

"Ah... that's right."

"Let's go steadily step by step.It's not something you can change right away. "

Kenichi tells me to forgive me.

Kenichi was right... but I wasn't in a state of silence and calm right now.

◇ ◇ ◇

That's when -- on the way to the mobile classroom, he's going back to the classroom to pick up his belongings.

On the way, "Wakamiya, can I have a moment?"I didn't mean to eavesdrop... but I overheard it by chance.

I wonder, Nakamaru-san.Was there anything about the executive committee?

Rin's voice, which I'm accustomed to hearing, is not cool at all.

Like when I first met you, I stopped my feet.

No, it's not the work of the executive committee.It's going to be all right with each other. "

Certainly, it was Nakamaru's job to lend equipment from the department.I know it was hard, but thank you very much. "

"Hmm. I didn't do everything because Kato helped me.Unfortunately, I'm not good at negotiating... "

That's right.But weren't you running?

Hah...... Wakamiya, you know what I'm saying.That's all Kato told me. "

I see.

He's outstanding.I have a lot to learn... no, that's not the point.What is difficult for me to understand is that I admit that a good person is not...Except for the sights.... "

"... what are you trying to say?

"Why are you with Tokiwaki, not Kato?

Something's wrong.

There's only one problem.He had better stop. "

"... why should I stop?Can you explain?

No, I don't know the truth of rumors such as childhood habits and corrupt relationships.I know it's rude of you to say this... but if you're involved with him, you'll underestimate Young Miya. "

Rating? I'm not interested. "

That nasty young palace. I don't know what you're putting in there, but have you ever heard of him being a no-good guy?Don't get involved with a guy like that. It's a waste of time. "

"... is it a waste?

That's right. If there's anything that makes you feel weak and threatened... "

"It sounds like I'm returning the word," "Your rating," is that emotional?Or is it a subjective push?

"No, it's an objective fact that has been going on since I started school."

Everyone says the same thing......

Of course it is.

"... I don't know Showa very well.Someone like you... don't tell me about him!!

Eh......

Very unpleasant. Excuse me.... "

◇ ◇ ◇

I heard this conversation... the other day.

I'm sure that Rin's attitude, like what Nakamaru told me, was not once or twice.

If you think so... honestly, I can't stay calm.

When did Rin wave when he saw his voice rough and angry?

The sight of that time is still not far from my head.

With tears in her eyes, Rin left early...

It's not rotten enough to step on.

I'm not a chicken bastard enough to hold still.

"Well then, Kenichi. Do you want to go again today?Next, at the baseball club. "

"I'm glad my best friend was motivated, but I'm sorry for being rude."

"It's okay. No problem."

"Hah... I don't want to protect this.Let's go. "

Kenichi sighed and shrugged her shoulders.

- I have to try.

You can't just leave me alone.

Whether it's a cow's walk or a turtle's speed - one step at a time.

That's the only thing I can do.
