Kazama-kun's Lies is Exposed to the Girls

My body is shaking

　What? What the… What the heck was I doing?

　Suddenly, I see a blank ceiling… Oh, ughh!

　And suddenly, I feel a heavy pain in my body.

　Oh, that’s right. I remember I was on the rooftop during the festival…

　That’s right. The sound of sirens in my ears and a slight shaking sensation in my body.

　Am I in an ambulance now? 　

　”Uh, how…Hirose?”

　Is Hirose-san all right !?　

　”Stay still! Do you remember your own name?”

　As I try to force myself to sit up, I hear an adult man’s voice in my ear simultaneously.

　”Um, how about the girl who was… together with me?”

　”She’s fine. The girl was miraculously unharmed, thanks to you. So, what’s your name? Can you tell me?”

　Oh, thank God. She’s okay. The paramedic standing next to me says something that makes me feel light at once.

　”Yes. I’m Sota Kazama. Thank God.”

　”I’m really glad. You fell from such a place, and all you got was bruises all over your body and a broken left leg. It’s nothing short of a miracle. The tree you fell to seemed to be a good cushion.”

　I see. I made it, too.

　It was a gamble, but I’m glad I managed to shift my trajectory that way…

　”And it looks like the fracture in your left leg is probably cleanly broken, so you’ll be fine and back on your feet again. It’s a miracle.”

　”I see. That’s great.”

　”Yeah. Well, when we get to the hospital, we’ll have to have a full examination, but don’t worry too much. I’m so glad.”

　And a miracle. That reminds me of something exactly the same thing that happened to me a long time ago. I think I was more seriously injured then than now, but I survived anyway. Come to think of it, I was also saved when I was hit by that truck, so maybe I’m lucky after all.

　No, never mind… I don’t think so. It’s bad luck to be involved in such a thing in the first place. Yes, very bad. Even this time, would such trouble happen under normal circumstances?

　I was watching right next to them, but I remember that the crew was also panicking because of Todo’s unexpected action. I remember that the shooting was about to be halted for a while, but that big guy who was mumbling the whole time forced them to go ahead.

　Anyway, that big guy is probably finished…

　Well, I’m really glad that Hirose is safe. It would have been more than a bad aftertaste if she had died in front of me.
　Besides, I could have left the festival early, as it turned out. Well, I may not be okay… I’ll say it’s okay, though it may not be.

　And if I’m lucky, I will be able to skip school for the next few days… maybe I can’t.

　That’s right. Because of that guy Todo, I lost my attendance quota…

　He’s always, always, always bothering me…

　In fact, after what happened, I guess the event participants after him will be canceled in the end.

　I don’t know what they were planning to do, but Kanna, in particular, seemed very enthusiastic, and Karen, Sayaka, and the others were planning to attend, right? Unfortunately for them.

　Won’t the other participants beat him up, too? That guy Todo. After all, they won’t be able to appear on TV anymore, which everyone hoped for.

　Well, he should be beaten up once or maybe a hundred times. Really.

　But anyway, for me, it seems that this year’s festival ended without any festival-like activities at all.

　No, I ate only baby sponge cake.

　Well, I really don’t care about that.

　But yeah. Broken left leg.

　This means I’ll be on crutches for a while at school…

　That’s just plain troublesome…
