Chapter 104

Chapter 14 – Feelings and answer (4)

Translator – Vodka

This will be the last update of 2020 . Another year is coming to an end . My speed of updates came down, but personally speaking, I am happy that I didn’t stop . Covid kinda screwed my plans (well, the world’s plans) for 2020 . It set us back a year . 2021 shall have to be the year we repair the damage that covid has done .

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all you fellas . May the new year rekindle hopes and dreams, and the bustle of humanity rise again from the ashes . Have a wonderful holiday guys .

 

 

I sat down on the grass and looked up at the sky . The tree I was leaning against, cut off the strong sunlight, that betokened the advent of summer .

The plants gently swung under the influence of the wind .

The fragrance of the lawn wafted through the air . It had a calming effect .

……Not bad .

It has been a while since I last came here, but, in this one-year period, I have had come here quite a few times .

I am reminded of the time when this place received my personal accreditation for being one of the very few healing spots inside the school campus .

“You don’t have to sit on the ground . I had even prepared a sheet . ”

“It feels better this way……”

Kirasaka called out to me from the side .

She was looking down on me while standing .

Let’s keep quiet about the fact that it seemed like that the inside of her skirt would be visible with a little bit more .

Seemingly visible, yet not actually visible . What an exquisite place to be in .

 

I looked away from Kirasaka to look in front and surveyed my surroundings once more .

We were in the farthest edge of the school courtyard .

Kirasaka and I were under a tree that stood alone in this corner .

Well, rather than saying that we were here, it would be correct to say that we made our way to this place .

After we finished watching the movie, I was half-forced to accompany Kirasaka for lunch, having ended up acceding to her demands from before .

She seized my bag and dragged me here by the hand .

Halfway through, Kirasaka seemed to want to say something to Shizuku .

They seem to be negotiating something?

If not, there was no way Shizuku would agree to a situation where I was alone with Kirasaka that easily .

I unconsciously let out a sigh at the possibility of troublesome stuff lying in wait . Amidst such thoughts, I was brought to this place .

It was the same place as the one in the photo I discovered in the student council room .

Like that time, there weren’t figures of any other students .

Albeit the courtyard was a popular place, this extreme edge rarely had any visitors .

It was even more so because there was a spot in the courtyard where tables had been laid out for the students’ use .

This place was at quite the bit of a distance from that spot . Hence, Kirasaka and I were the only ones here .

This desolate space felt extremely nostalgic .

 

“In that case, should I have a seat too?”

“……Your clothes will get dirty, you know?”

“You are the one saying that?”

She covered her mouth and chuckled . Then, she sat down next to me with her knees bent a little to the side – the so-called sidesaddle posture that women often assumed .

I noticed that her sitting style and location were the exact same as they were in the photograph .

Did she choose this place?

Silence pervaded for a brief period .

Just in case, I brought Kaede’s deluxe bento along . Unnoticed, however, Kirasaka had started preparing lunch .

I wonder why……There is a chef clad in the characteristic white uniform standing behind us, you know .

And then, why are there the likes of an iron plate and an oven in this otherwise empty lawn?

 

“I don’t like this sort of thing very much . ”

“‘This sort’?”

“Yes . ‘Showing off wealth’ is what this is called I believe? However, you don’t seem to mind it . ”

True that . She is supposed to be the young lady of an exceptionally affluent household, but I haven’t caught so much as even a glimpse of her flaunting her status .

The only noticeable things were the luxurious bento and the fact that someone would chauffer her to school and back .

I wondered if she was deliberately showing off, but it would seem she had her worries .

“Worrying about it won’t change anything right?……”

“Human beings are creatures that get jealous of people who have what they don’t……I do not care what others might think, but I don’t need you finding this situation unpleasant . ”

Said Kirasaka, her expression without so much as even a hint of embarrassment . Then, she glanced at the chef waiting behind us .

She could unhesitatingly say things I could never bring myself to say . She was amazing that way .

After she glanced at the chef, he got moving .

He was probably gonna bring over the food soon .

We usually brought our bentos along .

I was certain that we were going to eat from our respective bentos, but she seemed to have other plans for us here .

I felt regretful for not being able to enjoy Kaede’s cooking, but since it should be fine if I just have it later, I put it away .

A woman clad in the waitress’s uniform served the food .

“Although I decided by myself, I asked the chef to prepare us a light meal . ”

Served were sandwiches with lots of bright and colourful stuff stuffed inside .

I wasn’t a big eater either . So, this menu was just right .

Even better said, sandwiches were the best fit for the food we were gonna have sat on the lawn .

“……I am on the receiving end of this after all . I am not complaining . ”

“Thanks for the meal . ”

Having said that, I grabbed a sandwich .

After Kirasaka saw me taking a bite out of the sandwich in my hand, she started talking .

“Does Shinrkun also come here often?”

“‘Also’?……You sound like you do?”

Curious, I asked her .

I had no idea of where she would be and what she would be doing when she wasn’t with us .

Hence, her choice of words piqued my interest .

“This is an important place for me……”

Her pupils held reflections of loneliness somewhere . The fact that the words spoken were reminiscing of a past recollection for her was apparent in her voice .

What is it I wonder?……

She might have remembered the time we met . Though, I still couldn’t summon that memory .

I quietly listened to her speak .

“I won’t ask you to force yourself to remember or anything……just that, I don’t want you to treat it as having never happened even if you don’t remember . ”

A self-deprecating laugh escaped Kirasaka .

It was as if she thought that it was only natural that I didn’t remember .

Then, she proceeded to speak about her recollections of that day .
