Episode 58 – If it’s not ornamental…… is it practical …..

With the help of Kurase and others, I managed to get through the mid-term test and exhaled when I saw the rankings posted on the bulletin board.

“Oh, buddy! How did you rank? Of course, you’re going to take make-up classes with me!”

I silently pointed at the bulletin board as Sosuke stood next to me, elated.

“Huh, you had such a bad ranking that you can’t talk about it,. Poor ……, which one is it, your rank is ……24………?”
“Make-up class, fight!”
“Noooooooo, traitor! You were definitely on my side! You especially look like you can’t study! What? You have an injured right hand, right? Why?
“Competence.”
“Nooooooooo!!!!”

Leaving the exclaiming Sosuke behind, I return to the classroom. By the way, Sosuke was in 220th place.

To be honest, this test was an upswing.
The parts that Kurase had taught me had hit me as hard as they could. It seems that Kurase Miracle is more capable than my future vision.
I’ll thank hernext time.

“Oh, that’s right. Let’s stop by a vending machine and go home.”

Thirsty, I turn from the road to the classroom and start walking.
Not that I’m going to stop at this one, but I’m going to buy Kurase something.

“…………”

I’ll buy something for Asagiri, too, just in case. I didn’t get to learn much with Asagiri, but I did learn something from her. I’m sure she will be sulking if I buy something only for Kurase.

“But then again, I really don’t have future vision happen at times like this.”

Usually, I think future vision is more convenient.
It would have been nice to know the contents of the test by future vision, but my future vision is not so convenient.
At this rate, I might trust Kurase’s intuition more than my future vision.

However, as if it was my will, it showed me strange future again without mercy, as if I had complained about my future vision.

***

“Uu…”

I heard a squealing sound as I passed through the hallway.
I step toward the direction the voice is coming from.

“‘Mitani-san?”
“…… senpai.”

The one crying was the girl I had met on the rooftop – Mitani san. Then she turned around and put something like a bag in her hand behind her back as if she was trying to hide something.
I didn’t know what she was holding, but there was a small puddle where it had been.

***

“…………”

I scratch my head. I could see the future concerning Mitani san. It clearly didn’t look good.

“Haa……”

I sighed and hurried to the place where I saw its future.
The place was in front of a restroom near a vending machine. If I keep going at this pace, it will mean that such a future is waiting for me.

So if I arrive earlier than that, I will know what happened. And I might even be able to prevent Mitani from crying.

A sense of justice sounds good, but it’s never that noble. As I’ve said before, I’m quite a pain in the ass.
I don’t care where others are sad.

However, if I knew the future that a girl would cry, as a man, I would want to prevent it if I could.

If I didn’t do that, my sister would be angry with me.

When I arrived at the place I saw in the future, there were three girls in front of the bathroom. They were dressed a little flamboyantly.

“Hey, what do you think she’s going to look like when she sees this?”
“Hahaha, it’s funny just to think about it!”
“Hey, hey, let’s get on with it!”

It’s kind of a disturbing conversation.
…… Maybe these kids have something to do with Mitani-san’s crying.
Then I saw that these girls had something like the bag I saw in my future vision in their hands.

…… Let’s talk to them anyway.

“Hey, what are you doing there?”
“……!”
“What is it?”
“You’re talking to me out of the blue, you’re creeping me out.”

Gosh, ……. My chest hurts. I’m usually hurt when girls call me creepy, so please don’t do it.

“Well, sorry. I’m just wondering what you’re doing with all this.”
“What does that have to do with anything?”
“I mean, who are you?”
“Uh, I’m sorry to barge in here, but can I see your gym bag?”

The girls were carrying a bag to put their gym clothes in. According to the information I saw in the future, Mitani-san was holding this bag that was wet.

“Haa? Ew……”
“Ugh, gross. ……”
“What, are you a gym uniform maniac?”
“………….”

So that’s how it’s going to be ……. These girls are going to cut out my heart precisely.
It’s true that I’m a …… pervert for suddenly showing up and asking them to show me their gym clothes bag,…….

If this was one of these girls, wouldn’t my school life be over?
I should have thought more carefully before I acted. ……

I had a moment of regret.

“What are you doing?”
“!!”

I heard a voice from behind me.
When I turned around to look in the direction of the voice I had heard before, I saw Mitani-san standing there with a dubious look on her face.

“…. senpai? And ……, Miyano-san and the others are also …….”
“Tsk, that sucks.”
“Oh, that’s so boring.”

Mitani san was surprised to see me there.
And the girls behind me were swearing quietly.

Hearing that, I was convinced. I knew they were going to do something naughty to Mitani san’s gym bag.

“Eh?”

With a pop, the gym bag was pressed against my chest.
I reflexively accepted the gym bag.

“That pervert boy over there stole your gym clothes. He was sniffing them, and it was gross, so I warned him about it, but he wouldn’t let go. Well, we have to get ready for the next class, so you’re going to have to get them back yourself.”
“See you later~”

With that, the girls walked past me.

“…………”

I was falsely accused of a terrible crime.
I was in front of Mitani-san, who was looking at me with eyes like she was looking at a piece of filth.

“I want to be excused.”
“Anyway, can you give it back to me? I have a class next.”
“Ah, yes. ……”

Unlike Asagiri, that’s what I’m afraid of when I get a calm response back.

“Thank goodness. ……”

Mitani-san, who received the gym clothes bag, was relieved to see the contents.

It seems that she was able to get it back before the prank and the contents were safe and sound.

“Did you smell it?
“I didn’t.”
“Then what were you going to do with it? For decoration?”
“I didn’t steal it!”
“If it’s not ornamental, is it …… practical……?”
“Can you please just listen to me?”
“…….fufu”
“……?”

I was in a hurry to get rid of the wet blanket and then she started laughing, so I wondered what was going on.

“I was joking.”
“………….”

After saying that, Mitani san continued to laugh.
Even a junior made fun of me. I was shocked. I wonder if I’m that easy to make fun of.

“They’re always harassing me.”
“……?”
“I’m sure they’re the ones who stole it. Senpai said he just happened to be here. I just wanted to tease him because he was in such a panic.”
“Give me a break.”

That chilled me to the bone. If I’m going to get in this kind of trouble for trying to help people, I’m not going to do it again.

“But I was saved. If senpai hadn’t been there, they might have done something to me. So let me say thank you. Thank you.”
“…… No.”

Mitani-san’s face was different from when she looked into the future.
Well, helping people, it’s not so bad sometimes.

“But is it okay? harassing..”
“Bullying?”
“Well, yes. I’d go so far as to call it harassment.”
“Did you know what they were gonna do?”
“Ah, no. ……”

I dug my own grave.
But Mitani san, without worrying about my grave, continued.

“Well. I think I’m being bullied. They enjoy picking on me because I’m a plain girl who doesn’t stand out at school.”

She says this so matter-of-factly, as if nothing is wrong, that it makes me a little worried.

“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine ……. I’m used to this kind of thing.”
“…………”

It’s a lie. In the future I just saw, she was crying.

“…… Well. If you need anything at all, I’m at least here to help you.”
“…………”
“Mitani-san?”
“There’s no need. I’m fine on my own. I have my next class, so if you’ll excuse me.”

Mitani san coldly dismissed and went away with a bag of gym uniforms.

….I wonder if I said something that might have offended her.

I noticed that Mitani san’s back looked somewhat lonely as she moved away.
