Prologue
——————————————————-
My name is Saginomiya Iori.
An ordinary second year high school student who can be found anywhere and isn´t a genius since I don´t have any special skills either. The high school where I go to is a combined high school (secondary + junior high), I didn´t go to school for more than half of my junior high time for certain reasons in old times. Oh, the truancy is me.
My parents, while I tried to stay at home “Go to school!” and “You will be kicked out of school when you take a rest too often!” they shouted it many times, to their regret, I was a junior high school student at that time. To the parent-teacher-student meeting because the compulsory education, There wasn’t a withdrawal from school only around dozens of times I was just called.
When getting a point in a test, the study school which looks like medium high consistency is all okay. Well, for such a feeling I could refused to go to school, because I had good marks in tests and graduated from junior high with no problem and I achieved my high school debut safely.
The escalator system is so great.
I say that I become a high school student and I change completely from the time as a junior high student and attend school seriously.
……I hate myself for not going to school before.
That feeling, the most of my junior high school era I refused to go to school and it was the cause, that I didn´t make any friends in class. Perhaps, I think that the atmosphere that I cause was bad. A school phobic man who looks like air even if it is concerned or not named Saginomiya Iori, also known as me with the worst tag as a gloomy person. Of course, there wasn´t any curiosity to call out to such a guy. Probably my atmosphere that is refreshing by an ordinary figure. And a Kiran tooth, I think that this didn´t happen when I glare with such a feeling. (Tsl note: Kiran tooth is some kind of black tooth)
Well, I´m like this, a high school student who is a loner and obtained that title. I read a book basically… I say, because I love that I can do it, I´m alone in the classroom and there isn’t dissatisfaction in my loner present situation at all. But in time for PE class, loner was quiet a bad status.
The reason “Because you do warm-up exercises and a pair is needed for the stretching!”, because the gym teacher shouts, which are the worst words for me. Although there wasn´t pair stretching at the time of junior high, but it has started for some reason from the time when I became a high school student.
Why do you do pair stretching at high school? Are you picking a fight with a loner? I who holds the doubt that I´m a normal person of which it doesn’t think by doing such a thing and such a thing I can’t say to someone, because I was able to know the reason safely.
The teacher in charge of PE class now as for the reason pair stretching, it is because of an advice. Since that day, I hit my long nails with frequency towards the my belly with anger once a month.
Occasionally, I have heard that the gym teacher took a rest for abdominal pain. A gut will be weak, regrettably.
There also isn´t bullying like showed by some mangas and light novels particularly and I think that any high school life is enriched.
……The true intention I want a certificate even tomorrow, when I say……physical education……
Giiiin, Goooon, Gaaaan, Goooon.
The sound of the chime that changed only just a little such resounded in the school.
The condition of the chime of the school of which I commute is a little amusing recently. The print which I wrote to the student council approximately one month ago somehow should have distributed,but they didn´t repair it yet.
Repair charge stinginess calm down and please correct it quickly…….
“Hey! You!! Because winter vacation begins and also outside with a wainscot! And if there is a guy who I despised who is behind with the presentation of the task in the time limit……let’s have a three person talk. …Well, because there isn´t a particular communication matter elsewhere, too, you may return!!”
I, Saginomiya Iori has brought the end fee in the last minute with a broken tone shallows at his class teacher Minase Seigi。To a student the tone that was able to crush and might be friendly “Justice-!!” she is called by the embarrassing nickname. First “Stop it because I´m embarrassed! Call me teacher! Teacher!” the exchange was heard many times, but becoming troublesome she gives up recently “Justice” I was permitted to call her so. (Seigi means justice that’s why the nickname)
When Minase shallows and says parent-teacher-student meetings most of the class hate it!! No, it isn´t a lie……., she spoke of such words.
Parent-teacher-student meeting? Give me a rest, will I be a veteran of parent-teacher-student meetings? Such words, I’m not afraid at all.
The parent-teacher-student meeting, I should cast down my eyes and give a regretted sense off. Is it an expert word? By which everything is without mistakes……expectation…
Such thing, I finish doing the preparations to go home, while considering a trivial thing, it was when I was going to stand up from my seat. The door at the entrance of the classroom is opened like a brick suddenly.
Gararararaa!!
“Io-kuuuun!”
A odd person who cried so ran towards me. Now, the odd fellow who has run to my place straight is a person with who I can communicate directly only at this high school, Kaede Mochizuki.
I mean her power was really dangerous. If it’s compared, I’m a red mantle and she is Kaede who is a bullfighter. About that she has an enormous power.
Her black hair is extended to the vicinity of her waist, and her figure is in a word graceful. With her beauty of the extent which made me think, she is the owner of slim limbs. Moreover she is a student council clerk and she is a considerable popular figure at this school. She worries that I am a loner and she is also my childhood friend and senior who often comes to meet me.
Like this, it is bad, but the act of Kaede accelerated that I became a loner.
“Kaede……I said that you didn´t need to come to meet me at a stretch…… I´m a super loner which status is different from a loner in nature of all things that exist about there in the vicinity… Oh, wait a minute, I made mistake with my words………!? Burn!! Don´t embrace me! Here in the classroom! Because it is the classroom! Because it’s painful, stop it! Everyone is looking at us!!”
“Yesss……….it’s good to separate here. Before “Kaede-nee-chan!! Kaede-nee-chan!!” you said and embraced me from yourself……Nee-chan is sad! Huh……time is cruel……”
She says so and Kaede “Yoyoyo…” made an imitation which breaks down in tears. When it was often seen, she had her eyes drop in her right hand. Hmm? Why does water drop from her eyes? When I thought so, something like a tear was flowing from Kaede`s eyes.
Hey hey, is her future dream to be an actress or something? Kaede-san.
I look at Kaede and huh, although with spitting a sigh, I excessively take the hand of Kaede to grasp her to get up.
At that time, most of the class clicks their tongues, was there even an enemy of the parent? There was a person who exposed anger so as to want to hear it. In nine cases out of ten, the bad guy who let Kaede cry which is me may be seen.
Has Kaede come to me to make me a loner?
By the way, with me as a loner, Kaede who seems quite familiar and is speaking with me is called a saint, because she is kind to a truant child. The evaluation of Kaede by students and teachers wouldn’t be too high…….
“Aaasousou, Io-kun although it’s that and it’s every time, I say, but you look good without glasses, so why do you wear them usual? Your face is hidden by this glasses and the mask!! Although you are cool, it is a waste……”
Suddenly Kaede is increasing her hand in order to take off the glasses and the mask I wore.
“…It is good particularly. I´m free to take off and to put on the glasses and the mask”
I brushed off the hand of Kaede which grew towards my face with my right hand while saying so.
I attach a mask to the nerdy glasses every day like Kaede said. It isn´t the reason that I have poor eyesight particularly, but in the past plain fashion goods, at first glance it seems to demand a zero, since it’s found by chance on my way home at the high school entrance ceremony I promised that I lived quietly and wore it. Recently I like it so that a sense of incongruity is given when I don´t attach it.
Why did I promise, because I selected it? When the boy who refused to go to school isn’t plain…. “Uwaa! Saginomiya who refused to go to school at junior high changed his image!! Disgusting, he receive it seriously!!” With it may be said is it!? There are no choices other than being plain.
Hmm?? Freak out? Something is bad, I feel nervous.
Before “Cool!” and “a good-looking man!” I don’t feel like having been said how well and there isn’t it either, probably I didn´t remember it right, because the past memory is modified conveniently by all humans. I mean, why did I come to refuse to go to school……….well, whatever.
For some reason the plain glasses and the mask which are an indispensable item in my high school life and Kaede who is often extending her hand to my face in order to take it off by force. When I just assume that it’s said to take them off its still good, Kaede “I’ll break them!!” because she stretches out her hand while saying so, which is bad. Well, I can save it every time.
“Well, it is…… But are my glasses taken at least once before I graduate and after go to school together? Oh, I must not forget to cross my arm! Because it’s a promise! Because it was promised!”
As for Kaede, may the moise be heard? She is so energetic that it seems and she points at Iori. My classmates who heard our conversation glare at me again. If this world is the world which can kill a person with eyes, my dead number of times will be 2 digits.
“………Hey, you nod once, uh, because you don´t answer? It wouldn’t be too unreasonable…….eh? Kaede, your friend of the student council came”
When she look at the door, a man and a woman who have attached the emblem of the student council stood there.
The woman “You will interfere with Saginomiya, so come back to the student council quickly! Let’s go to work!!” how well she says! She sometimes speak to me and is a gentle person, besides Kaede´s basic as for me “Yes” “Yes” “It’s different” “Excuse me” with only these words which was said they return……then, they didn’t have that, she can´t return. Anyway communication disorder is the reason. The small talk is hurdle high by the loner.
Well, although that woman is a good person, I`m considerably disliked by a certain man.
It is a digression, and the officers of the student council of this school are selected by student´s votes. On this occasion, the man of the student council now seems to have a good-looking face and the support from the female students seemed to be high. Ah, they were seriously persistent at that time that shrill voices.
And because whether there was such a thing, he seems to have had confidence enough for his appearance “What is Mochizuki-san doing with such a gloomy guy……. she should be with me…” the words were spat very well.
This is why the good-looking man……his confidence is plentiful by his appearance, when a certain man clicks his tongue when near the door and glares, I´m considerably irritated.
That man, does he have enough salt? This time, when that man is going to drink coffee in the student council room, he will change the sugar put in coffee casual to salt. I’m gentle….
And the girl who belongs to the student council who was near the door, the moment when she was going to step forward in the classroom to call out towards Kaede, the people who were in the classroom from my class were wrapped in light without any exception.
“……Ah!?”
I was surprised at the sudden event and was raising a cry, just after that, the classroom where we were didn´t have the figure of a teacher and student left at all.
