Umeibo no Byouin de Kanojo to Hanashita Ikutsu ka no koto

The chime rang and the pale (yes) put the sharp pen down.

When the exam supervisor teacher starts collecting answer forms, the classroom becomes more noisy.

Yi (Yi) Vine (Toto) sitting in the front seat sprinkled and elbowed (hissed) on the Ethereal Desk.

"Uehara, what about lunch?

The pale removed her glasses and dotted her eye drops.

"Nothing. Whatever. It's more of a test than that."

"Stop it, stop it! I'm sorry about that!

Ito blocks his ears. "I was trying to forget because of you!

That said, Ito did much better than Ethel. This school itself is at a higher level than the high school he once attended.

I integrated him into this school from this fiscal year on, but he felt he was being put into a special frame - a special frame called Livelihood in that town. I'm sure that's why I'm going to get a college recommendation besides other students.

But he doesn't blame himself for that. I really want to get into college, I have an undergraduate I want to get into. I don't hate using my past if it's for dreams.

When the test supervisor, who had recovered the answer sheet, left, the students began to move. Try to get back to the original seat order from the order of attendance numbers.

The usual company gathered in Ito's seat. The pale crosses there too.

"Hey, when it's summer vacation, let's go to the sea, sea."

Ito says his usual loud voice. The guys laughed.

"What are you gonna do about the exam?"

"He said he played for about a day. If he played for a day and fell, he couldn't do it anyway."

"Uehara's going too, right?

When he was slapped on the shoulder and sprinkled, the Fountain River stood. The group centered on Ito also has women, but she was the central figure on the women's side.

"Oh, I'm coming."

The sky nodded.

Ito turns a blind eye to Izumi River.

"What kind of bathing suit are you wearing?

The south (Minami) of the baseball club cracks into its gaze.

"I'm Border's..."

"No, I don't know about Omei."

Ito slapped the kid in the head in the south and his buddies laughed.

Surrounded by laughter, the pale was distracted by the feel of his remaining hand on his shoulder. It was strange to be touched with ease this way.

That disease doesn't infect anyone else anymore. Vaccines have been vaccinated all over the world and everyone is immune. So to speak, it's like all people are suddenly infected with a disease. Ethers are not special. So I don't have to worry about getting sick where I was touched, but I was still hesitant to come into contact with others from his side.

There is no problem if the infection does not develop. However, there are still people who rarely develop it. Like that newcomer - Otsuki. Perfect vaccines don't exist. When it develops, there is no way to treat it at this time. It's just symptomatic therapy.

Otaki is unlucky. I can't believe it's happening. I can't help but say, "Why me?" Because I'm unlucky.

We were all unlucky. Both his parents and a good Wada - Wada's aunt died that night on her way to Fuji Valley Middle School.

Everyone wouldn't have died if they hadn't lived in that town then.

Both Mimori and Susuke had bad luck. I never died because I was weak.

Both Haruka and Shaya (Saya) were unlucky. I wish I hadn't come to that town.

The demon wreck was also unlucky to think about right now.

He wondered what about himself. Are you lucky or unlucky to live in a world that has left him behind and engaged him?

I can hear the classroom far away. He felt his gaze on the surface of his skin dying in that town and still dying.

Ito's invitation to go to the family together declined.

Take the train in the opposite direction from the house and get off at Tsuruhama Station. Even though it was a weekday, it was overflowing with tourists. Walk around the mall to buy flowers and treats. Then I bought bread for my lunch.

It was a sudden thought that I decided to go to the hospital. Thanks to this, I couldn't find the yummy (first) sweets to feed Hulka, and I bought something decent.

I finished my stomach by eating bread on the train running along the sea.

Get off at the usual station and walk the national highway along the sea. Beyond the jetty is a sandy beach. The lake in that town is Lake Dam, so there was no sandy beach. If you live by the sea, you'll be able to play on the beach every day. He tried to imagine such a life, but no specific picture came to mind.

The hospital guard looked strange when he saw his uniform.

The clerk at the reception counter looks at him uncommonly, too.

"Aoi, home from school?

It was a test today.

He clasped his collar and peeled his shirt against his sweaty back. "Harka, can you call me?"

I had to have her called on the hospital broadcast because I didn't hear from her as usual.

I sat down on the couch and stared into the hallway where she would always come. But she appeared out of the elevator in front of her.

"You've got some kind of a girly bag."

She said she was in a wheelchair. He stood up surprised.

"You... what's up? Are you kidding?"

"It's a good idea."

She comes here manipulating an electric wheelchair. "He told me to stay calm as long as I had a slight fever. This hospital, it's too protective."

He looked around at her body. I haven't been involved with last week. He's not pale either.

"Are you sure you're a mess?

"Sort of. But I liked this wheelchair. It's so easy to get around. This would have been the strongest thing I could have done if I could still charge my smartphone."

"How powerful is that?

He was so relieved that Haruka seemed fine. Always she is a Buddha (buzz) face, and when she opens her mouth, it is full of spicy words, and she does not fall into the "sickness". I forget about her illness for that matter. Unlike him in remission, he doesn't know when the disease will go on.

As he rode the elevator, Hulka glanced over to the flower cage (basket) he had.

"I thought you said you weren't interested in flowers?

"That's okay. Because he likes me and he buys it."

Under the dry lighting of the elevator, only the flowers are blooming with moisture.

Shaya was lying in the hospital room bed. Skin has no blood, no water, and looks like a white petal when it withers.

"You look like you're doing well today."

That's how he put the flowers on the side table.

Otsuki brought drinks. Eyes on the paper bag he holds.

"That macaroon, it belongs to a famous shop."

"Really? I bought it properly."

Take a paper cup with tea and give it a box. Osamu took the chocolate-like brown one and turned the box around to Hulka. She takes the pink one.

The pale stopped by her and glanced into the box. A line of colorful round treats, like playing (cancer) utensils or stationery. Pinch and take the white one with an idea that it would taste like vanilla.

"Ah... this is delicious."

Otaki can flatter his face. "That's just the famous store"

Ether had his first macaroon, but I thought it was something like this. Anyway, it's sweet and I'm not sure about the other fine flavors. Hulka is also eating with a slight look on his face.

Otaki took the second macaron out of the box.

"How about another one, Harka?

She shook her head (wearing it).

"My body can't accept the delicious because I've been fed all the unsavory confectionery"

"That was a bad thing."

The pale washed the sweetness left in her mouth with hot tea.

I was concerned about her medical condition. Isn't it really very bad? So much so that I can't lose my appetite or walk on my own.

Doctors and nurses won't tell you the truth. They were kind to me even during Ethereal's hospitalization, but that is ostensibly, occupational. This hospital is not for the Hulkas patients. To isolate them from the public, that is, for those outside.

"How far did you talk last week?"

He called out to Otsuki. Those who have been abused have nothing to hide. There are stories only those who get sick can do.

"You've been crying all over your enemies."

Hulka said.

"You did. So I stopped crying because you showed me your pants."

According to him, Hulka has been punching the wheelchair with a steep start. It hurts because of the momentum. He sat on his usual couch rubbing his battered ass.

On the front is the bed of Shaya. The most abusive of all, she reveals nothing and just sleeps.

◀▶ ◀▶ ◀▶

"So, how do we get up from here?

I'll look at the cliff (skull) with Hulka floating in the center of the bubble. The light of the sun penetrating (and falling off) the bubbles was making her hair pink look brighter.

The three are at the bottom of the valley.

The pale scratched his head with his left hand. Shizuku (shizuku) drips from wet hair due to falling into the river.

I don't know.

"What is it? Then how did you get here?"

"It fell off that cliff over there"

"Wow, I can't use it"

"We can't talk about people either."

Shaya laughs.

"Hey."

I heard a voice from the top of the cliff. "If you go downstream, there's a way up there."

Shaya and Haruka look at each other.

"Because."

"Then go."

Hulka erased the foam and stepped down to the ground.

The wind across the river smelled burnt. It smells like the body of a demon wreck burned. Someone on the cliff has the power to start a flame.

Haruka and Shaya walk side by side. Hulka, with his feet on the ground, was tall; would he have 165 cm? Shaya on the other hand is slightly small.

"It's hard to walk, here"

Shaya, whose feet were taken by the rocks of Kawahara, grabbed on Hulka's shoulder. Hulka's foot is also a loafer, so he's slipping his foot into a diagonal rock.

Her outfit did not fit into the occasion. It's strange to come to the mountains in uniform. Not to mention it's a battlefield now.

"Where are you guys from?

When the pale spoke, they stopped and plunged.

"We are Yokoyamadai City"

"I was born and raised in Yokoyamadai City. Me and Pull go from nursery to middle school. Except for high school."

Yokoyamadai City is the western end of Tokyo. From Aoi Ward, Tsukumi City here, it hits one mountain beyond.

"What's going on over there? Are you ill?

"Thousands have been hospitalized."

Halka hit the bottom of the loafer at the tip of the rock. "It was like the end of the world"

"You managed to shield me earlier, that one got sick, so you can get it out, right?

"Yes, I am."

Hulka sees Ethereal's right arm. "That's the way it is, isn't it?

The sky nodded. The spear remains when it fights the demon wreck.

Hulka holds back her hair that storms in the wind.

"I had a fever at first, and when I realized it, I could do something around my body."

"Kitter thought, right, then"

Shaya steps up a big rock. "'Cause I've been longing for you since you were a little girl, like that special ability."

"You watch too much cartoon."

Haruka offered his hand and grabbed Shaya's arm, which was about to lose balance on the rock.

They looked different until yesterday. Tomimori Tsuke was in an area where the disease spread. They had a part in common with the Ether - they lost the same thing and hoped for the same thing.

Haruka and Shaya come from outside. The pale felt in their bodies something that could not be phased (aided) by the air.

"Why did you come here? What's the purpose?"

The Ether struck the tip of the spear against the rock at his feet.

"You just said that. To save the people in the alley."

When Haruka said, Shaya blew it out.

"Pull is a big deal about saving people and falling to hell, isn't it? You asshole."

"Shut up."

Haruka did not poke Shaya in the arm.

Talking to these two drives me crazy. Neither that nor Yasuke Tsurumi.

"This isn't the first time you've both fought a demon wreck. Where did you fight before?

"Magai?"

Hulka leans (hides) her neck. "What's that?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. We named it. A skeleton in the devil's demon. I was wondering if I could call it a lizard or something."

"Lizard?"

Hulka tilts her neck. "That's more of a hippocampus than a lizard."

"So much for a hippocampus?

Once again, Shaya rises on the rock. "A hippocampus like that doesn't make him a zoo favorite."

"But it might be a good idea to call it a demon wreck. They must be demons."

Yeah. Hulka walks away with one person in a row. Shaya also flew from the rock and followed.

The Ether followed them with a spear poked like a cane.

"So, where did you first see the demon wreck?"

"It's Mount Heaven."

Hulka answers without sprinkling.

"You've come all this way..."

There is Takatenyama at the border between Tsukumi and Yokoyamadai. The area should be sealed off by militias, but will the mountain roads let you in freely? That mountain is just popular with climbers, and there are lots of routes.

Shaya flickers and cheers.

"We went into that mountain to test our power. Then I stumbled on the... Magai? They found it and wiped it out, but I thought there might be more."

The road up on the cliff was thin and steep. If anyone comes from above, they won't be able to get away with it. The pale walked up the spear of his right arm to the rocky skin of the cliff. I still don't feel like getting rid of the spear. Because we still don't know what kind of people are up there.

Up ahead was the gravel road. It was white and dry, and there was a slack not seen on the mundane mountain path. Shallow (wattage) running. Is it also a construction site nearby?

About 20 men and women were eager to wait for the Ethers. They were all young and looked like high school students.
