Heading to the staff room, he sighed when he saw the prints of the event contact he was holding.

Describing the events of each academic year in each month naturally includes the story of a second-year school trip. Professor Nakai gave me the photo he wanted me to include in the event contact. Class photo of group F. Class buddy is the best f-group class photo, the bud grenade pictured there is laughing with fun.

In addition to the class photos, candidates were given for photos to be placed on contact prints, most of which were properly listed.

"... while I'm at it, it's a frightening behavior."

Whimpering, he stares at the picture he hid in his uniform pocket. Asahikawa's Zoo, at first glance, that's a picture of a foursome pair of women. But beside it was a photograph of Shotaro and Shotaro, two of us going around.

"Because the situation is the situation, especially..."

Xu lowers his brow. The bud grenade in the class photo smiled and Shotaro and the bud grenade in the photo looked just as fun to laugh at. I guess Shotaro enjoyed it from where Shotaro was opening his mouth wide. I could imagine that, and I was disgusted with myself for imagining that.

"Kung Kung"

I was called from behind as I looked at the picture. “ I don ’ t panic, ” he said, putting the photo back in his pocket that he had in his hands in a natural way. That's how I looked back. There was wind and elegance ahead.

"Fengya.... have you finished your remedial studies?

"Yeah. I was just finished, and I took it to the dossier clerk's office, and they were passing me by."

Feng Ya laughed with a troubled face and lined up next to him holding the material.

"Is Bud Grey on the committee with Favorable Kung now?

"Oh."

Fengya answers the question briefly. When I heard the reply, Fengya sighed small, "Fine."

"I'm not alone at all, buddy."

"Even if it's not just the two of us, I think it's enough we're just going on lunch break to see each other."

"You can't be. Do you think Kung is enough to meet in the student council room?

Indeed, he is convinced. Neither has he taken time with the bud grenade, so that Fengya has not taken time with the two. I should have had time to be alone once a week on my original schedule.

"... Shotaro kung fu is just sloppy"

Fengya told him in his obstinate voice. Xu does not reply to it and proceeds silently with his legs. But Fengya said, "What do you think of Kung?" He asked for his opinion.

"Nothing. Nothing"

"... lying"

"It's sloppy or nothing, if you have business, you can't help it, can you?

That's what I'm telling you. Naturally, I am not satisfied with the reply of the prepared Qi.

"Do you think Shotaro Kun goes to Shotaro's house every day for errands with Keikun?

"I think Kei-kun would be if he affirmed that too. I'd rather not think of any other reason."

He replies calmly, doubting the behavior of the two men. The calm was disguised just on the top. Inside, I know as much as Megumi and Shotaro are turning over Kei and lying to themselves.

I wasn't complacent that Bud Grey would be me if he asked for something, but I really thought he was. Shotaro was the one on whom the bud grenades relied, though, and given the reason, I could almost imagine what the two of them were doing now.

I'm sure that's about as far as I can guess with all that information.

"... I just think I should run errands soon"

Xu sighed and knocked on the staff room door.

After school, as usual, in the room of the fallen bud grenade of the light, there were bud grenades and Shotaro.

In the dim room where the stars blossomed, the bud grenades were able to see through the room without clinging to Shotaro.

"... really, so beautiful. Come on, Ro. Wow."

Seeing the starry sky reflected from the Planetarium, the bud grenades get an exclamation. After a week of trying inside a dim room mimicking the starry sky, I finally got to see the starry sky without taking Shotaro's hand today.

"Out of the way. You got used to it fast.... Well, sometimes the atmosphere is different from that of the darkroom."

Shotaro turns on the room lights in admiration of the bud grenades enjoying the starry skies in the room.

"If it's dim, it won't be a problem anymore."

"Yay."

The bud grenades gently banzai around the chest. Shotaro also smiled back thinly when he saw the bud grenade laughing happily.

At first sipping a cup of tea and resting, Shotaro exhaled heavily and looked a little serious.

"So... I figured you'd try a dark room too"

The room with Planetarium is not a real dark room. There's openness and a little brightness, and there's no darkroom atmosphere. Still, it has been difficult for bud grenades to date, but dark rooms without the help of planetarium are not what they are today.

"Yeah.... I knew it wouldn't make sense if I had to overcome it"

There's still time. That's why I wanted to do what I could do to bud grenades right now. At the same time, however, the burden on Shotaro will increase from now on. Shotaro and Shotaro made a "what if" promise in advance.

"I'll turn on the light as soon as I see it and decide it's no good."

"Yeah. Please.... because if I stay crazy even with the lights on, you can pull and tap."

"... keep it in mind for once"

Shotaro caught his face a little and replied to the bud grenade.

Planetarium has already been fixed on the shelf. Shotaro gets a remote control of the electricity, but he doesn't quite push it out.

"Gejong-kun"

"... oh"

Shotaro responds quietly to the call of the bud grenade. After a few deep breaths, Shotaro pressed the remote control switch.

Lights that fall. The little light that helped me bud grenades is nowhere.

A real, dark room.

A rattling and trembling body. Calm down, a dark room as I told myself, a feeling that I couldn't even see right in front of me easily recalled my memories of the past.

My own screams, once unreachable to anyone, tree spirits over and over in my head. A sharp pain struck him like it was engraved in his head, and the bud grenade shrunk holding his head with his eyes closed.

"Nanhara......"

Shotaro can be heard. I can hear you but I don't recognize your head well. I can only receive Shotaro's voice in the same sense as the sound of things around me.

"Ya... uhh... uhh... uhh"

Keep your mouth shut trying to indulge in a screaming voice. I even held my breath and leaned down so that I wouldn't have a voice.

"... hold on, Nanhara. This is my room."

Shotaro rocks the shoulder of the bud grenade. Shake your neck to the side with a boom and the bud grenade doesn't try to look inside the room. I knew I hated dark rooms with no light anywhere.

"Nanhara, it's okay... it's okay"

I feel warm. Ten years ago, the warmth I could never feel in my abominable memory. That has been the warmth that has helped me bud grenades the past year.

- Nanhara, I'm here to help you.

Shotaro is hugging me. This warmth told me that there was nothing to be afraid of there even in the dark room. He taught me that my voice would reach, Shotaro is by my side.

"No, no, no, no."

I call Shotaro's name as I slowly exhale the breath I was holding. That's how I turned my hand around his wide back. My hands trembled helplessly, clinging to Shotaro without knowing how to add or subtract power.

"Here you are, aren't you? … well, right?"

I feel so sorry for my trembling voice just like my body. Still, Shotaro graciously rubbed my back to support his unreliable bud grenade appearance.

"Oh, I'm fine.... nothing to be afraid of"

There's nothing to be afraid of. Even though I understood it with my head, my body still refused to accept it. I don't even know what I'm afraid of, but I can't help but be afraid to open my eyes. But I could only stick to Shotaro and manage to keep myself.

Shotaro then decided that this was the limit of the bud grenade and turned on the light.

"... Nanhara. Are you okay?"

I feel it over my closed eyelid as the area brightens up. But the bud grenade still didn't try to open his eyes.

I'm sorry about Shotaro, but I'm still sticking with Shotaro. Shotaro didn't force Shotaro to pull off such a bud grenade.

"I knew it was dark... no good at all"

The bud grenade sighs, saying in an upward rubbing voice. I couldn't even open my eyes and enjoyed not screaming, above all I was afraid of being in a dark room without help, and I almost gave up on overcoming myself.

"Not really.... Next, you just have to make an effort to open your eyes. One story at a time."

Shotaro took the head of a budding grenade and encouraged the heart of a budding grenade that seemed to give up.

"If it works without fear from the start, you won't even need to practice. This is natural.... make up your mind to do it and give up early?

The truth is, we can cut it off from Shotaro. Shotaro, however, speaks so loudly, telling the bud grenades to "work hard".

"... yeah, I won't give up.... Thanks, Gejong-kun"

Letting tears seep thinly, the bud grenade laughs at Shotaro. My body is still trembling in small pieces and Shotaro's hands are gentle to rub.

I knew I was glad I relied on Shotaro. Good kindness and heart strength supported the weak bud grenade.
