Chapter 54: The day I attended school medical check up.
Before I noticed it one month has already passed since the puppet show day.
On a Saturday when it’s usually the day for me to just idle around with Misaki all day, I suddenly got strucked with an urge.
“Misaki, let’s go running!”
“……Un?”
I wanna run!
I’m getting itchy!
Anyway I want to run!
“It’s exercise time! Let’s go outside right now!”
“……Un.”
Geezー no choices thenー
Misaki closed the book she’s reading and quickly stood up.
Then she rummages around in a cardboard box in the back of the room, before taking out appropriate clothes for exercising.
It has been about half a year since I started working, and this room has a little more furniture than before. Of course, all of these are for Misaki.
On the other hand, I’ve been wearing only jersey these days so I have no need to change my outfit.
“Ready.”
“Then! Let’s go Misaki!”
“……Un.”
Under the cold sky as winter is approaching, me and Misaki started running.
No such things as destination! I’ll go wherever my legs take me to! Go as far as I can!
“……What are you doing?” (Yui)
Unfortunately! Someone just has to stand in our way!
“As you can already see, we’re running.”
I squinted my eyes at the intruder while I run jogs on the spot.
“Good morning!”
“Oh, so Yui-chan is here too.”
Although she has threatening me just a month ago, but it seems like she’s in a good mood today.
“Uhh, you said you’re running but, did you already forget that there’s a medical check up today?”
“……Medical checkup?”
And thus, me and Misaki’s journey to the unknown world (a little jogging) is now over.
Medical check up for children starting school age.
I had completely forgot about this, but Misaki’s going to graduate from the nursery school this year. As for what happens next, it’s the compolsory education time for her. I never knew this before but it seems like before entering elementary school you have to undergo a medical check up first. Yui said that if she did intense exercise right before the check up it might caused abnormalities.
“Good grief, I really feel sorry for Misaki-chan.”
Yui is as harsh as ever. But then again, I can’t help but think about whether or not Yui back at that sunset time is actually just an illusion of mine.
“I don’t even have words to reply back…… Anyway where can I get that kind of information too?”
As a result me and Misaki and also Tosaki family walked together to the check up place.
With Misaki and Yui-chan’s cheerful voice one step behind us, I got lectured by Yui.
“What do you mean by that, shouldn’t the documents already mailed to your home?”
“Mail…… I see, mail huh.”
I give it a little thought and,
“How can the sender know my address then?”
“Just how ignorance of the world are you really……”
“I beg you, please tell me.”
“……Good grief. From resident card and such. There are documents that everyone who is registered in our country has to submit to government office, if you don’t have those you shouldn’t be able to have her enroll in the nursery school in the first place though……?”
……Crap, I have too many ideas why they weren’t mailed to me.
“Maybe it was postal accidents.”
“That’s definitely a lie.”
No way, you knew it in an instant!?
“Good grief, don’t you ever feel embarrassed that you’ve caused so much troubles for your daughter just because you’re a sloppy man?”
“……”
“That’s probably also why your wife ran away from you.”
Until we reach our destination, my status is reduced to that of just a punchbag.
Isn’t this guy even harsher than before?
We’ve arrived at the elementary school.
I followed behind Yui as she walks inside without any hesitation as if she already knew everything, and we’ve arrived at the reception desk.
“――Yes, thank you very much. And also, this parent and child over here, apparently the documents are not sent to them because postal accidents or something…… Yes…… Yes…… Yes, thank you very much.”
She’s really thorough.
“You probably didn’t bring slippers along with you anyway. Good grief, please wait here for a moment.”
Really, really thorough.
After finishing things up at the reception desk, the senior kids at the elementary school brings Misaki and Yui-chan along with them to the check up site. Seems like they have to do weight and height check, eyesight and hearing test, and then teeth inspection.
“I’m kind of nervous.”
“Please be quiet.”
“But well you know, when I think about what if there are abnormalities within Misaki, just what I am going to, what I am going to……!”
“Please be quiet.”
Meanwhile, the parents have to wait for them.
As for me and Yui, we waited outside the gym sitting on the foldable chair that they’ve prepared, with a gap of one chair in between us of course.
Eventually, Misaki has returned with Yui-chan running all the way here while pulling her hand.
“One hundred seventeen centimeters!” (3′ 10″)
Said Yui-chan.
“Thirty percents higher than Misaki!”
117 ÷ 1.3 = 90
Misaki’s really only ninety centimeters tall seriously!?
After the shocking revelation, we headed to our respective room. Apparently next is an interview.
Seems like they had questions for the parent too, so I’m very nervous right now……
“Well then Misaki-chan, what’s your name?”
“……Misaki.”
“Ohー, well doneー. What about your favorite foodー?”
“……Gyudon?”
“Ahahaha, you’re really interesting Misaki-chanー”
“……Un?”
After a relentless wave of questions attacked Misaki,
“Well then, next is about you Okaa-san.” (Mother)
“I’m her dad.”
“Eh, ah, please excuse my rudeness. So what kind of things you usually talk about with Misaki-chan?”
“Things that happened on that day, something like that.”
“Okay, thank you very much.”
And so the interview is concluded easily just like that.
After that we met up with Tosaki family, get our check up results and left the elementary school. At first I worried about what’s going to happen at the school medical check up, but when it’s all over I realized that there’s really nothing to worry about. There’s no abnormalities in Misaki with the exception of her height, so all in all it’s just my needless anxiety.
“That’s definitely not the case. Let’s go to the city hall tomorrow afternoon. I can manage to get some free time after 4.30 p.m. You’ll have to do something for yourself too. You hear me?”
……Well, it seems like my needless anxiety wouldn’t end just there.
