TN: I’m going to use bold for all the english the author uses and also his notes

 

 

Lucid dreams.

 

This is a medical term used to describe a dream which the dreamer is still capable of rational thought.

 

I used to have a lot of those as a child.

 

As I grew older, I’ve never had those kind of dreams again.

 

I must be having this kind of dream right now.

 

When can I wake up?

 

These thoughts passed through my mind as I lay curled up in my bed.

 

Even after I stopped thinking about such negative things, I still stayed in my bed.

 

The sharp pain still lingers on my face and my sense of touch had become dull.

 

It must be swollen now.

 

Although I’m in 10th grade, I’m still not brave enough to go to class with my face swollen.

 

Let’s skive, I’ve skived plenty of lessons at university anyways.

 

I turn over to go back to sleep.

 

It’s not like anyone is going to take care of me.

 

「Deng Deng Deng—— 」

 

The phone in the living room woke me up.

 

Let’s just ignore it.

 

「Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng—— 」

 

And yet the caller seems to insist I pick up the phone, tch.

 

Shuffling with uneasy steps, I walked into the living room.

 

「Hello?」

 

「Hello, is this student Kanade? It’s me, your teacher」

 

Ah, it’s the homeroom teacher

 

I pinched my nose and coughed a few times

 

「About this, teacher, I got a serious case of flu, so…..」

 

「Oh.. so it’s like this. Then get some rest.」

 

To think I managed to get away with it

 

Even though the teacher would call my parents for confirmation when I request for sick leave during high school…

 

It’s already 11am when I looked at the clock. Let’s cook something.

 

「Bzzz——Bzzz——」

 

A few minutes later, the phone beside me begun vibrating.

 

Its a message from Nakamura

 

From the looks of it, his seat is directly behind me

 

「Why aren’t you in school today?」

 

This tone made me think of my dad…Tch

 

Then let’s use the same tone to reply.

 

I..got…a…very…bad…fever, ok, send.

 

I’m going to wait until my swollen face has healed up a bit more and then go to school (An: A swollen faced fansub group (: smile)

 

Originally that was my plan.

 

Until four in the afternoon that is…

 

「Hey, Sai, I heard you have a pretty bad fever……」

 

Why is this guy at my door?!

 

「But from the looks of it, you’re already fine now. It’s good to be young~」

 

Excuse me, I’m the older one here

 

「Why did you come here?」

 

「Obviously it’s to visit the sick patient, anyway, let me come in.」

 

「…….Ok」

 

「Is your dad not here?」

 

Are you talking about that crazy man.

 

「No, I don’t know where he went.」

 

「I feel like Sai’s quite depressed…Also,, what happened to your face?」

 

Is it really that obvious

 

「Las..Last night I accidentally fell over」

 

「Really….Then be more careful」

 

It seems like Nakamura had seen through my lie but he didn’t ask any more questions

 

「It was so boring in class today because Sai wasn’t there today」

 

「Even if I was there, class wouldn’t suddenly become interesting」

 

「Of course it would.」

 

「……」

 

The both of us sink into an awkward silence

 

I should say something

 

「Uhmm…thank you for coming to visit me」

 

「Well..it’s not much. And… I’m leaving school tomorrow」

 

「I understand, I’ll definitely go to school tomorrow」

 

「Then before I go, play one round with me!」

 

「……Wut?」

 

「What do you mean ‘Wut?’…I mean King of Fighters! This time you can’t go easy on me, I’ll definitely defeat you!」

 

「Pfff」

 

This kid, he’s quite interesting

 

「Sai, you were going easy on me the whole time!」

 

「Hahaha…」

 

After getting carried away from his enthusiasm, I got slightly serious as well.

 

Without realising it, destroyed him without losing a single bit of my health.

 

Although, after playing with him, all the pent up emotions from last night had mostly disappeared.

 

「Sai finally smiled…. the previous expressions were so gloomy, I was quite worried」

 

「…Tha——」

 

「I thought it was that time of the month」

 

「Take this!」

 

A fist came flying towards him.

 

「Well, anyway I’m going back to school, baibai~」

 

He waved to me as he said it and gradually ran off.

 

Recently, it feels like I have been playing with him everyday….

 

Although talking to him is quite fun, it reminded me of the roommates I had back in the university.

 

Feeling happy, I walk back home.

 

Even though I call it a home, it feels more like a rented apartment

 

To live on the 6th floor of such an ancient building, picking one of the highest floor is probably because it’s cheaper right…

 

I walked up the stairs, while thinking this...

 

Bang! Bang!

 

The sound of someone violently beating on a door could be heard from upstairs, it seems to be coming from my front door.

 

Taking a deep breath, I walked up to the 7th floor —— Which was also the highest floor.

 

From the 7th floor balcony, I stealthily glanced downward.

 

A few people dressed as if they were delinquents were outside my door. (TN: A wonderful foreshadow)

 

「Tch, not here again.」

 

「FXCK! Let’s go!」(TN: sometimes the swear words are censored like this but other times I'll just write them out directly)

 

They left, swearing loudly on the way out.

 

When they said 「not here」it unfortunately means that man right? More like, with the way you guys bang on the door who would open it?

 

Speaking of this when the man came back on the first night he also had blood all over him.

 

It turns out he really is a good for nothing

 

「Sigh….」

 

I let out a long sigh.
