——The following morning.

Fwaaaaaahhh——! I’ve had a good sleep!

「Wha—!?!」

I woke up to find a girl sitting upright by my bed. She had semi-long, coppery and light hair color, earrings in her ears, and her eyes and nose were so good that if there were ten boys, seven or so would judge her to be cute.

My own standard of gyarus, are a bit 70% beautiful girl…

「Please… forgive me. I just got lonely with Yamazaki-kun and just let myself go… The only person I really like is Kaname-chan.」

She rub her sleepy eyes, desperately pleading with me, but I don’t really remember what she’s talking about. For all her flamboyance, she somehow doesn’t feel completely solid. Is it that one? I made my high school debut, but I don’t fit in.

I get up and turn to the girl with the covers over my head and try to remember who she is, but there’s no girl I can think of.

I don’t think I have any interest in women to begin with.

But I know who she is talking about. Yamazaki, his full name is Yamazaki Yusuke. Certainly… He was the son of a doctor or something, and he was pretty good looking.

There were rumors that he was a manslut who bit his parents’ shins and did whatever he wanted, but on the surface, I remember that he was very friendly and greeted even a shy guy like me. Well, maybe he was just scoring points.

「Yamazaki told me that Kaname-chan,「He’s already dead. You have to accept the reality.」And Kaname-chan’s father and mother also made a grave, and when I saw that, I couldn’t wait any longer… I’m really sorry.

Hold on, hold on a second, don’t kill people on your own… And for that matter,

——Kaname-chan…

What does she call me, was I close to this girl? But I don’t know who she is at all. When she finished talking, she just started to get down on her knees. What the hell, this girl…

Listening to her talk, it was like I was dating this girl. So she cheated on me.

But I have no memory of her at all.

「There’s nothing to forgive but… who are you? Why are you coming into my house without permission? That’s a crime.」

「Kaname-chan…」

I guess she didn’t understand what I was saying, and she started to shed big, ragged tears, but it’s just a nuisance to have a stranger talk endlessly about things I don’t understand and cry so hard all morning long.

「No, I don’t want you to cry. Anyway, if you stay any longer, I’ll call the police.」

「No… no way… don’t act like you’re acting, answer me properly. I did a terrible thing to Kaname-chan, so scold me…」

She seems to regret her actions, but I have no idea what she’s talking about, so I can’t get rid of her.

Who is she really? She was strangely familiar with me and I had no idea what she was talking about when she cried and apologized. Then a thought popped into my mind.

「Ahh, I understand!」

「Do you understand me now?」

It seems like a lot of kids are sick with stress or something these days, and I’m sure this one must have gone crazy too. I pity her for that…

「You are a mentally unstable child, aren’t you? You need to go to the hospital and get some medicine.」

「…I’m leaving.」

「Great, because you’ve been sitting on me all day, and that’s troubling me!」

The girl who pulls up quickly. Well, she was wearing our school uniform… Is she a classmate.

At any rate, it was refreshing.

I went downstairs in my pajamas and raised my voice in protest to my mother, who was probably in the living room.

「Mom, please don’t bring strangers into the house without permission. It’s really annoying!」

But she’s not there. I can hear my mom and that girl talking.

「I’m so sorry. Kaori-chan… That kid had a very shocking experience while he was missing, his memory is missing, he’s unstable… I’m sorry, but maybe you should leave him alone.」

「Yes… I apologize for any inconvenience I’ve caused.」

Mom and the girl from earlier were talking with the front door half open, apparently. After the girl left, did her mother really forget Kaori-chan? But I don’t know who I don’t know, so I can’t help it.

——At school.

My parents withdrew my missing person’s report and my family registration was restored. And at the same time, I’m supposed to return the death benefit… They spent a lot on my secret burial, cemetery, and tombstone purchases.

My mother, who was wearing makeup, a striped shirt, a tight skirt, and a cardigan made of a nice fabric, looked like a mom on a class trip, and she was worried.

It is quite embarrassing for a high school student to come to school accompanied by a parent or guardian. Even though it had been a long time since I had been to school, it was depressing to hear other students whispering to each other.

Seriously, don’t look at me!

But I couldn’t say no because I had to go through the reinstatement process and all that. After completing various troublesome procedures, I was reinstated to the school.

「Then, I’m going home. If you need anything else, call me right away.」

「Yes, I won’t go missing anymore.」

I have also asked my mother to apply for a part-time job, so if I get permission, I would like to work as much as possible to pay back at least the cost of the grave. They call it digging a grave, but I can’t believe I’m going to have to pay for my own grave.

I spent a lot of time at the school in the shadows, but it’s been a long time since I’ve been there, and I kind of miss it.

But I don’t have time to be nostalgic. With gasp, the arm hits the neck like a lariat from behind and wraps around.

「Kirishima! You, where the hell you’ve been?」

「Ah, no, I’ve been on another world just a bit…」

A person with a two-block haircut and dyed the top part gold tangled me, and I answered him by turning my eyes away from him. To be clear, I’m always annoyed and disgusted with the way they’re being tangling me.

In gymnastics, the boys and girls in my group would ridicule me for failing because I was not good at sports. This guy is a regular member of the soccer team despite being a freshman, and is the top caste on our class, Hanayama.

However, something was different from before.
