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
Christmas had passed and the end of the year was approaching.
I usually stay at my grandfather’s house for a few days at the end of the year, but this year was going to be different.
“Well, let’s get going, Serito.”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve stayed over at a friend’s house, so I’m looking forward to it !”
The ones who brought their carry-on cases were Kaori and Fuyuki.
The reason why this happened is that Kaori wanted to go with me, so I talked to my grandpa about it and he gave me the okay.
She told Fuyuki about it, and Fuyuki wanted to go too.
“Hey, Kaori, don’t try to jump on me right away, okay?”
“Yes, sir.”
I feel like Kaori;s cockiness is back again, but should I be happy that she is back to normal or should I not be happy…..?
It’s almost time to go out, so I head outside carrying a backpack with the bare minimum of stuff in it.
It’s late afternoon, and it’s snowing heavily.
“I hope the train doesn’t stop……”
By the way, there were three of us going, including me, but my mom said she would come by car tomorrow because she still had to go to work.
We are going to Grandpa’s house by train.
“Let’s go then !”
“Nn !”
“Yes !”
I took them to the train station.

We arrived at the station and got on the train.
I think it was because it was the end of the year and there were a lot of people. I don’t usually take the train so I don’t know how crowded it usually is.
“Well, Fuyuki, I’m surprised your parents agreed to this.”
“Yes. I gave them Serito kun’s name, and they said yes.”
“……You know, I’m a very average, normal high school boy now. I don’t have the same home life as you did.”
“Yes, even so. Both my parents recognize Serito kun’s ability.”
Fuyuki grins and shows her teeth.
As expected, she’s very smart but can’t eat properly.
I stared out the window of the train and started to watch the snow falling steadily, but…the train didn’t move at all.
Thinking I had a bad feeling, I looked at my phone and at the same time an announcement rang out.
[Ladies and gentlemen–]
Well, to summarize, the train service was suspended due to heavy snowfall. The resumption of service has not yet been decided.
It was still a long way to Grandpa’s house, so walking there would be unthinkable.
Damn it ! ! My plan to go to my grandpa’s house one day before New Year’s Eve and enjoy all sorts of fun…! !
“What should we do? Shall I book a hotel room?”
“No, there’s an inn near here that my grandpa’s friend runs. I don’t know if it’s available, but it’s close by.”
“If it’s too heavy, I can carry it. I’m the strongest person in the group.”
I thought I was going to be able to go to my grandpa’s house, but I had no idea that I would be prevented by the suspension of the train. I felt like I had gotten off to a bad start.
We walked with our heavy luggage for a while, Fuyuki and I gasping for breath, and Kaori looking indifferent. She really can do anything except study, can’t she?
After a few minutes, we finally arrived at the inn.
It had a quaint appearance and looked reasonably expensive. Well, my grandpa and I used to go here often, and they were reasonably accommodating.
“Excuse me, is Granny Hara there?”
“Yes. ……Oh my, Serito chan, welcome ! I can’t believe I brought two such pretty girls !”
“G-good evening…….”
“I’s nice to meet you. My name is Fuyuki.”
The person who runs this inn, aka Granny Hara, came out from the counter. Kaori had become like a lost cat.
Well, it would be nice if the room was empty, but I don’t know…
“I heard about the situation from your grandfather. But, there’s only one room available… So, do you mind if you end up sharing the same room?”
“Ew.”
“No problem !”
“Yes ! No problem at all !”
“You guys !!!?”
Kaori suddenly responded in high spirits, and Fuyuki shouted loudly, far from her usual ladylike manner.
Granny Hara is grinning, and I have a strong feeling that she’s going to meddle a lot.
Akira kun, help me….! I don’t know what the young lady will do to me if I don’t do something !
Anxiety is building, but apparently the weather is on their side. The momentum of the trip is increasing, and the girls are determined not to let me out of here.
“Haaa…..I have no choice, huh?”
I gave up and went to an empty room, guided by Granny.
