A Cheeky Childhood Friend Found a Suicide Note I’d Written for Fun a Long Time Ago, and as a Result, She Suddenly Became Very Clingy and Wouldn’t Leave Me
The cold was safely cured and Kaori did not get infected.
Then came the final exam. I think Fuyuki and I got a perfect score of 100 without any difficulty, but I wonder what happened to Kaori……
–A few days after the final exam.
The day of the fateful results announcement came, and the test scores were posted on the bulletin board near the entrance.
I hear voices of despair and joy, but this time I think there are more groans.
“Hundred points in all subjects !!?”
“And there are two of them !”
“Fuyuki sama and……who’s this?”
“Serito…… that Serito !?”
“He can study ! !”
“I thought he was one of us…..”
“No more, it’s over…”
Well, that’s a fair result.
Normally, I would have concentrated all my attention on analyzing the questions and calculating/guessing the average score from what the teacher said in class.
But this time, I was trying to get a hundred points with all my might, so I was using all my nerves to eliminate all the common mistakes.
Fuyuki and I were not particularly pleased, but were staring at the name on the top of the page as if we were looking at something trivial.
“Serito kun, after all, getting a perfect score of one hundred points is too easy and boring. I’d like to calculate the average score and aim for it !”
“To tell you the truth, it’s really interesting. When you get it exactly right, your brain juices are flowing. But don’t do it. Don’t make your parents sad.”
“Right back at you…… But you can get away with a bit of shenanigans on a freshman test, can’t you?”
“Well, yes, but…… I guess you have a lot of freedom at home. It’s very different from me.”
I can hear people around me exclaiming, [Those are the geniuses…] and [I can’t keep up with them !]
Both Fuyuki and I have been bombarded with these comments for a long time now, and we are tired of hearing them. It’s getting annoying.
“Woo~~! I came in 54th place !! Isn’t that a pretty good ranking !?”
“Akira kun is amazing ! You’re so great !!”
“Don’t pet me !”
My angel named Akira kun comes bouncing up and down, as if he thought he wouldn’t be noticed because of his small size in this crowd.
I couldn’t help but pet him until his hair became shaggy.
…And by the way, how was Kaori?
I scurry around and see Kaori with a wrinkle between her eyebrows.
“Kaori, how was the result?”
“About the bottom of the middle…..? Each subject is about average ……. Ugh…..what if I don’t make it……”
“It’s okay if you don’t make it. You still have a lot of life left, and this experience will help you in your next battle…!”
“…… Ehehe, yes, that’s right. Thank you, Serito.”
“Of course.”
She still couldn’t shake the anxious look on her face, and her smile was a little awkward, but she was definitely happy.
And apparently, Akira kun had compiled our scores in advance and gave us the results. What a good boy.
We were to announce the results of the final exam at a nearby family restaurant.
“Okay. I’ll announce the results now.”
At the family restaurant, Kaori and I were seated with Fuyuki and Akira kun sitting across the desk from us.
Kaori was swallowing spit and stiffening up next to me, while Fuyuki was elegantly sipping her tea. They are two contrasting people.
“Well, out of a total of 13 subjects, Serito kun’s side won–seven subjects !”
“……Fufu, it seems that I have lost.”
“Eh, we won….? Did we win !!?”
“It seems so. It’s all thanks to you, Kaori. It’s my treat ! Order your favorite dish ! ! !”
“Yay〜〜! ! ! !”
You can order pizza with mozzarella cheese, hamburger steak, etc……. She had ordered a lot.
I was beginning to regret treating her. This guy has no restraint at all……! !
After finishing all the orders, Kaori hugged my arm and sniffed and laughed at Fuyuki.
“Hmph. This is the bond between me and Serito. You may not have one, right?”
“Gununu ! Not fair, Shiomine Kaori ! Wait for it, I’m on my way to you now ! !”
“Hey, I don’t be rude, Miss ! This is a restaurant, so I want you to be careful ! !”
“W-what are you doing…..”
At Kaori’s urging, hse started to head towards us. …From under the desk.
Akira-kun also seems to be having a hard time trying to make this tomboyish young lady quiet. I feel like my stomach pain is going to hurt too.
I drank a melon soda that I brought from the drink bar while I was dismayed.
“I said I’d do whatever you want, have you decided?”
“Heh !? Oh, ah……I remember that……. Yeah, I guess so.”
Apparently, she hadn’t decided yet, and she began to think about it while groaning.
Then, for some reason, she starts to feel burnt, her eyebrows wrinkle, or even her face turns bright red.
“Oh no……we’re still in high school so we can’t do something like that,……guhehe♡.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t accept anything that’s too much…”
“It’s okay ! I’ll make sure you accept it…♡”
“Hiii.”
Her gaze was like the sharp eyes of a predator like a carnivore or a bird of prey. I can’t help but gasp.
I shouldn’t have said ‘anything’. I’m afraid of what’s to come and I’m getting sick to my stomach…….
“It’s not fair ! I want you to do anything for me too !”
“I don’t sell for such a low price !”
“Serito kun, you’re terrible ! !”
……Well, I got through the final exam somehow, and now I can start the long-awaited winter vacation without any worries.
