A Cheeky Junior Denied Me My Entire Life, so I Tested What Would Happen if I Jumped off a Rooftop to Vent My Anger
And the next day. I officially decided that I would be staying at Asama san’s house.
So, although it was a hassle, I called my relatives who had been taking care of me and told them that I was going to move out of their house. They were sarcastic about it, but they weren’t interested in me in the first place. Once I went back to pick up the necessary belongings, I was treated rather poorly.
After that, I finished the various troublesome procedures, called the school, and cleaned up the room that Asama-san had prepared for me, and before I knew it, it was evening.
By the way, Asama-san went to school as usual. Well, since I’m a high school student, it’s natural, but I feel a little sad.
“I have to go to school tomorrow too. ……”
I also have to have a proper talk with Usa-san. In the end, Rengo just blurted his words and didn’t say anything clearly, but he didn’t deny it either.
I have no interest in the relationship between the two of you now. However, I didn’t want to live with another girl and stay in a half-hearted relationship.
So tomorrow, when I go to school, I will tell Usa-san from my own mouth that I will break up with her. I should have told her earlier.
“I can’t stay in a half-assed relationship forever, can I?”
I certainly liked Usa san. I’m not lying about that feeling. But perhaps it was not the current me that she liked, but the me who was only thinking about the old paintings.
“Instead of cheating on me, why didn’t you just tell me in person that you were breaking up with me?”
I muttered as if to throw up, opened my sketchbook and grabbed a pencil. The heart jumps with a …… thump. The rain sound, which should be inaudible, is now audible. I quickly let go of the pencil.
“Haaa, I thought I could make it now,…….”
In the end, even if the environment changes, if I myself don’t change, I can’t move forward.
“But strangely enough, my body feels light.”
And my mind is clearer than before. I was thinking about so many things last night that I couldn’t sleep at all, but I don’t feel sleepy at all.
“Oh, bad.”
The pencil on the table was broken in half. I didn’t mean to put much effort into it, but I guess I was more nervous than I thought I would be.
“…… I’m going to cook something. Asama-san, she seems to have a terrible eating habit.”
I muttered something to distract myself and left the room. The chime that announced a visitor rang at just the right moment.
◇
There is a clear hierarchy in the art club at Akanezaka High School, where Aoi Susumu belongs.
The advisor of the art club, a teacher named Yasaka, is an excellent person who has won awards in major competitions in the past, but she basically does not give guidance.
She comes to the art room on a whim, critiques the students’ drawings, and assigns them a number of tasks. She does nothing else, and when students visit the staff room, she simply turns them away. Instead of such a freewheeling advisor, the art club is led by the vice president, Toyama Rengo
He and the other proven members are the heart of the art club, and the nearly 20 members of the art club basically work under the leadership. If there is any …… exception, it is only one person, Aoi Susumu, who is considered a prodigy.
“Ah, damn it,…….”
Rengo, who is supposed to be in charge of the club, curses without worrying about what others might think. Susumu’s words yesterday and Asama’s words. The thoughts were spinning around in his head, and he couldn’t concentrate at all.
The only people who can remonstrate with him are Usa Ririka, who is rumored to be dating him, and Kamiya Yana, who doesn’t read the air.
“………..”
“………”
However, those two, like Rengo, just have a grim expression on their faces and don’t even move their hands.
The art club’s activities are basically free participation, so the club members, tired of such an atmosphere, one by one, leave the art room. And the only ones left were Rengo, Ririka, and Yana.
Yana clears her throat once and says in a clear voice to them at a distance.
“Are you aware of the story …… Aoi-senpai contacted the school today?”
Hearing her voice, Ririka looks up.
“I know,……. My homeroom teacher told me. I heard that he will be able to go to school normally tomorrow, Susumu kun.”
“When he goes to school, what about where he lives? his relatives’ home…he got kicked out, right?”
“I don’t know that much either.”
They exchange words without looking at each other. The two of them are talking, and Rengo clicks his tongue in a way that neither of them can hear.
“…… Damn it.”
Rengo was still unable to tell anyone about what happened yesterday. Susumu was with Asama, a beautiful girl who was so famous that no one in this high school would know about her. he wonders what kind of faces the two of them…or rather, Ririka will make when they hear that. It was scary when he imagined it.
Whether he knows or not. Ririka looks at Yana with a somewhat tired look on her face.
“Besides, Kamiya-san, were you looking for Susumu-kun last night? Your skin is a little rough and you look tired…”
“…I’m not really looking for him. That kind of Usa-senpai has bad hair, right?”
“I was just studying. The final exam is coming soon.”
“I see. So it seems like the person who was wandering around the station yesterday was someone else.”
“…………”
Yana laughs. The two of them, Yana and Ririka, are the only two people who have been in the same situation.
Both Yana and Ririka were looking for Susumu as much as Rengo, a small regret nestled in their hearts. Their attitude may have pushed him over the edge.
If it were possible, they would like to apologize and ask for forgiveness to make things easier. Unable to admit such shameful feelings, the two force themselves to stay neutered. …… Yana, in particular, was unable to accept the fact that Susumu had helped her.
“…………”
“…………”
“…………”
And then silence again, as all three of them knew that it was impossible to concentrate in their current state of mind. Even though they knew this, they did not move.
They were waiting for Susumu to come to the art room.
The three of them were thinking about completely different things, but still waiting for the same one person.
“……I actually met with Susumu yesterday.”
The long silence had become unbearable. Rengo muttered in a small voice as if he was going to throw up.
“Is that true!?”
Yana was the first to react to these words. She stood up in surprise and rushed toward Rengo. Rengo exhaled heavily.
“I wouldn’t lie about something like this. The only thing is that he …… looked like a different person than usual. The atmosphere was also different from usual, and above all,…….”
What came to Rengo’s mind was a white-haired girl who was smiling happily. …The words she said about inferiority tightened Rengo’s chest.
“Please don’t stop mid-sentence. Most of all, what?”
“……nothing.”
Rengo averts his gaze as if to cover. Yana said without any hesitation.
“This is a good opportunity to ask, but are Usa-senpai and Toyama-senpai dating?”
“Haaa ……? What is it, suddenly ……”
“Just answer the question. It’s nothing to hide, is it?”
“………….”
Rengo awkwardly turns his gaze towards Ririka. Ririka compares the faces of Yana and Rengo before speaking.
“It’s not like Rengo-kun and I are dating. However, I don’t know what will happen from now on. That’s all.”
“I don’t understand. How about saying it clearly?”
“Fufu. Kamiya-san, you’ve never been with a boy, have you?”
” …..so what?”
“When you get a little older, maybe you’ll understand what I mean. It’s not just about going out or not going out. It’s about the relationship between a man and a woman.”
Yana’s face turns red at the provocative words. Upon hearing Ririka’s words, Rengo smiles as if he has regained his confidence.
“That’s right. It’s not something that people who have nothing to do with it should stick their noses in every single time. … Even Asama said some great things, but in the end…”
“Wait a minute! Is that …… Asama Ion? Why is that name popping up here?”
“No, it’s …….”
Rengo covered his mouth with his hand to hide the words that spilled out of his mouth, but it was already too late. He flips his hair in resignation.
“Yesterday, Susumu was with …… Asama Ion for some reason. He said something about how she was going to take care of him from now on…”
At that, Rengo couldn’t help but close his mouth. …The expressions on Yana and Ririka’s faces. That was the face Rengo didn’t want to see the most right now.
The two were clearly …… jealous.
“I’m sorry,……, but I just remembered something I have to do. I’m going …… home now.”
The two of them silently watched as Rengo walked away from the art room as if to run away.
“Asama Ion, why are you and senpai…”
“…It would be a good idea to ask him directly tomorrow. It seems like Kamiya san has a lot of other things to say, right?”
“Usa-senpai, that goes for you too, doesn’t it?”
The two of them glared at each other silently, both of them somehow convinced themselves that they were the only ones who could help Susumu.
Yana, while making fun of Susumu, felt a sense of superiority, knowing that she was the only one who understood the lonely Susumu. Likewise, Ririka believed that she was the one Susumu would turn to when the time came.
However, this was a convenient misconception. They were still too childish to realize such a thing.
The small thorns that formed in their chests slowly grew larger. …And the next day, Susumu didn’t come to school again.
