Vol 1 Chapter 5 (1/2)
[BOKUshi+NU V1] CUT 5 – TODAY, I HAD AN ENCOUNTER WITH YOU YOU SWEAR REVENGE
Hikari Yumesaki seemed weird recently
And on a certainin June, my doubts became belief
It was a gloomy, rainy season
And after reading the words written on the notebook, I felt so was amiss
“She got a cold?”
And I immediately realized that was impossible
The diary entry written in the notebook was unusually lethargic, or if I have to be specific, the contents written on it are rather businesslike, I guess The contents she wrote had been lacking in inforht now, the contents of the entries felt somewhat plain
Her specialty, the illustrations, has recently disappeared, and it seeot to a point where even our classether”
Even the white puzzle she always dabbled in was left buried in a corner of the roo on it
“I do feel embarrassed if it’s panties, but not if it’s swimsuits! In other words, what this , I think”
Having completed the puzzle to this point, it see on any further
Leaving that aside, I was being worried, “You feeling alright? Are you troubled?” so I wrote these words two days ago,
“It’s nothing in particular, you know?”
And that was her reply
“Nothing in particular, huh?”
Whenever this girl uses the ter in particular’, unfortunately for arding the splurging ofa pass at my little sister Both of us are in the sa
“As much as I wanna say it’s a relief…I don’t think it’s possible”
I don’t know if it’s fortunate or not, butto leave my other half like this
And also, this ht involve me in some way She is me after all
Using this vague excuse to convince irl to me for assistance
“…Erm, what did you just say?”
“As I say, can you tellvery weird recently?”
That’s my little sister, Yukiko Sakamoto
I don’t know if she’s looking more sexually attractive since she becaave her so looks more mature than before However, I don’t think it matters much for a middle schooler
“About that, well…I think you’re cuter than before…and…together, we…but, siblings doing that is…nuuu…”
“Huh?”
This girl, whose haircut has changed fro extre as she spoke
It feels a little vague here, but this isn’t what I’
“Is there so I did that’s different from what I usually do?”
“…Your question is really strange here, but I really can’t think of anything specific”
“Is that so…?”
If it happens that she wants to hide sos in place to deal with me Tch, looks like I’m at a dead end here, huh?
But e’re cohabiting in this strange situation, I don’t think she can hide much
Looks like I got no choice Better look into this myself
“Thanks, Yukiko Sorry for the weird question Forget about what I said, ‘kay?”
“Huh?”
I turn away from my skeptical little sister, and is about to head for my room
However, unexpected words can be heard from behind me
“Speaking of which, who’s that man anyway? You two look rather close there”
“Hm?”
I just heard so that made me shudder
Wait, that was…
“Eh, erm, as it? Who did I meet exactly?”
I try to speak using the basic vocabulary to as I turn over to her, trying my best not to look unnaturally I’ words really caused me to jolt
“When was it? I saw you chatting with a student from another school at a cafe I reht?”
Taki High As in Takiou High School?
It’s a private High School I have no business with, but I remember that is–
“I think it’s rare for you to be with friends, brother Is that eloquent, handsouy someone you know since Middle School?”
Piish, pussh, paash, poosh
This young boy’s heart is being stabbed at by invisible needles, spears and lances
And thanks to all those, un
“…Ahh, speaking of which, I think I ain?”
I fu to listen in as I try to fish for more words
“You even forgot about the shop you went? How stupid can you be? It’s the ‘South Polar Star’ The critically acclaio to”
Cou…
“……Are you kidding me…”
“Brother?”
“…Yukiko, you’ve grown, haven’t you?”
“Huh?”
“This brother here is very happy to be able to live to see you grow so big here”
“Wh-what’s with you? Y-You wanna die? You idiot…”
“Yeah…I feel like dying…”
Leaving these words behind, I return back toback
Feeling confused and betrayed, ,
What’s with this bitter feeling…
“Speaking of which, how did Yukiko know about me?”
I buriedtears for several minutes
Having calmed down quite a bit, I start to have such questions
But I guess it doesn’tmatters,
Right now, I’e with teary eyes
According to what I see on the official page, it’s a cafe with a stylish at for this shop’, and found co a reat shop!’, and ‘it’s relaxing hearing the soothing BGM My boyfriend’s happy too’ I read all these comments with a parched voice What’s this, spiteful remarks?
“A Takiou High uniform…”
I recalled the report on that news bulletin
“A feh School died in an accident”
That was the obituary news column of Hikari Yumesaki
And that Hikari Yuh School student
Takiou High, boy, cafe filled with couples, suave, handsome, handsome
“You’re ranked second to ards to those who cause hearts to flutter, Sakamoto!”
A certain line froain
Ranked second, second, backup, 2nd candidate, nuuaahhh
“Now I get it I finally got it…”
She’s a high school girl at that age
Such things may actually be quite normal
Ah da me…?
I don’t think it’s a good thing for ht?
But couldn’t you have talked about this totoo obsessed here
I really can’t help but let hts run wild
I really want to investigate on that guy, but I can’t possibly be able to check on who this guy is just because I know he’s suave and handsome It’ll also seem unnatural for me to ask my little sister
Argh, I don’t have a way out of this?
But though I say so, I continue to tough it out and read the user blog, rage biding within
“Hm? What is this?”
It’s a blog with cute fonts, couple-like icons, and a fairy-tale atmosphere
These alone would still be ordinary
“Yukirin’s big brother observation diary☆”
But this is the title of the blog
Why do I have a bad feeling about this? How perverted is the person opening this blog?
Though I wonder this, I casually pick a certain diary entry, and continue to read through some parts I’m interested in
The stuff written are,
“Yukirin’s big brother’s acting very strangely! Is it because he likes Yukirin so much that he’s like that?”
“Yukirin’s big brother askson here!?”
“Yukirin’s big brother’s e brother’s smell”
“Yukirin’s having a swi brother!!! And he also scrubbed Yukirin’s back–kyaa”
I find these siblings to be too disgusting…isn’t this just a brocon and a siscon together? Goodness, how in the world are their parents educating them?
Feeling curious, I browse through the other passages, and found there to be worse,
“Yukirin’s big brother stole Yukirin’s bra here Yukirin was actually hoping that he would use the bra to do that, but he actually put it on hi on here…?”
“Yukirin found big brother sleeping next to her with just a piece of underwear! Yukirin hurriedly shooed him off, but it seeht here?”
“Yukirin got kissed by big brother…Yukirin wants to die…”
Goodness s
Seriously, what’s with their parents…
“Are there any questions for Yukirin, who’s about to be NTRed over her big brother??”
“(Wall breaking scoop!), Yukirin’s big brother ended a roo from inside”
“(Cheapskate big brother) Brother, with, girl, 4 hours, lewd sounds, sister going crazy ‘send mail’”
……
“Big brother got confessed to It’s okay, big brother won’t leave Yukirin alone Definitely not”
“He !! Wahey!! LOLOLOLOLOL!!!”
“Big brother sent a ‘comfort request’ mail! Ah, Yukirin quickly rejected it, but this is the chance to be an adult author here…ahhh…Yukirin you idiot!!!”
“……………………Phew”
Upon reading till this point, I inadvertently let out a sigh
And then, I yell,
“YUKIIIKKKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!??????”
Wa-ait…ehhhh!?
“No…nonononono!!”
Wait ait! You’re kidding, right!?”
No, I’ll be troubled if it’s not a joke! But, the next entry…
“You can’t, big brother…Yukirin and you are siblings…”
…WHAT DID SHE DO!!?
“W-what did that idiot do…?”
I’m left co such a blog?
However, if we’re looking at the characters and the events that happened, it’s definitely
“No-no, don’t think about it…don’t think about it already…”
I barelyto Mars, and continue to read on panting,
None of these happenings matter here
If this is , there’s definitely a hint here–
“B-big brother’s having coffee with an unfa inexplicable’s awakening! I guess there’s benefits to being a stalker!”
Got it! There’s a hint! And sis, you have such habits after all!? Well, whatever!
And, the continuation?
“Yukirin never thought big brother would have such fine tastes! He called the handsouy ”Kazeshi+ro’ What do everyone think here!? Is it?”
And below this passage is a two-shot photo with mosaic over the eyes
I can’t really tell as it’s a little far, but the person sitting closer to this side is definitely ure and hairstyle’s the sa coffee is,
“This guy’s ‘Kazeshi+ro’?”
The eyes have mosaic over theuely tell that the guy’s really handsome
……This guy
“damn it”
I suddenly lose allat my desk with my head slumped
Do I write on the notebook ‘who’s Kazeshi+ro?’
But if I’m to ask, she’ll ask me how do I know
“So I can’t go beyond that…?”
And in the end, I did not write anything about this, just a nor entry
I think I should give up If that girl never toldabout this, it means she doesn’t want me involved No matter how close I am to her, our hearts can’t really be one
Because that girl chose to hide this
“This definitely isn’t a good thing”
It’s Friday, and the time’s 330pm
And I, h
Yes, I came here after all
The first thing I wonder is, why is the weather so bad?
It’s just a world of grey everywhere, like clouds of grey s
The air’s as moist as the rain, just like what I feel
I’h school uniforic The ates and see ic to be treated like this by others I still haveme, their backs arched as they returned home
“I guess I’ll ry However”
I’ my best to co It’s just jealousy after all
I tried ive up ever since that day, but I’m still unable to do so All I realize now is that this isn’t a good thing to do
And in the end, I really want to see that guy’s face Well whatever, I thought I’
“He’s Kazeshi+ro, right?’
I stare at the photo on the cellphone, which I copied fro,
What am I supposed to do after I do see him?
–What’s your relationshi+p with Hikari Yumesaki?
I ht ask this question, but, if, at this moment,
–We’re in love~☆
If he’s going to answer that, how auess I’ll feel better if I beat hiood, but do I have the fortitude to do such an e? I can conclude that no, I don’t have such courage I probably will end up trying“I-is that so?” and run back tomy frustration on the pillow
“No, I can’t do this”
I ca so timid Uwah, this is bad This is too pitiful ofhere?
Do I go back? Shall I go back after all?
It’s not too late to back out now, right?
Yes, right, I guess I shall go back–
“–Sakamoto?”
“HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!??”
My shoulders suddenly got whacked, I thought I was going to die
Feeling extreuy?
“What are you doing here? Everyone’s scared of you here”
“Eh, ah, oh, oh”
Shut up, you idiot Don’t suddenly greet uy? All handsouess?
“Y-yo, quite a coincidence”
I respond back at the guy who greeted me with such familiarity, and observe him
He’s a skinny guy, but does seem seem a little sturdy, and he’s probably a little shorter than me He has nice neat hair that felt pure, and the handso over his beck was very white, like a girl’s However, there were blue veins on the him look rather unhealthy
I guess that’s him, just as I saw him on the photo
So this guy’s Kazeshi+ro
“Are you actually waiting for me?”
“Hm, well yeah”
Now then, what kind of relationshi+p do I have with this guy? It’s really aard to coe Do I say “I really want toto answer “Me too, blows kiss” I think I can die in all kinds of ways here
“Since you’re here, Sakaht?”
“Ah, hm, yeah”
I ansith as feords as possible, and at leastany suspicion
Now it’s time for the main issue
The sky’s coht me to the ‘South Pole Star’ cafe I did so of it, but I do find it to be really a stylish cafe after witnessing it personally It really isn’t a place a single ht? That? What’s that anyway?
It’s a weekday afternoon, but the place is still packed A few uy wrote the na list, the shop attendant called us to sit in I’m really not used to such an environment, so I can only pretend to calmly sit down
I can vaguely see the antiquated coffeewine bar far inside the counter There’s all kinds of constellations symbol marks stuck all over the shop, and on a closer look, one could find a large celestial globe dangling fro
I stare at the old telescope rese the one Mr Galileo liked to use, located at the entrance “Anyway, let’s just order so first” at this moment, I heard Kazeshi+ro say some sensible words There’s a erous to couess I’ll just order whatever I want
The lonely hout the shop, and when the waiter quietly walked over to me, I point at the topmost item on the menu In constrast to me, Kazeshi+ro simply read the horizontal words that sounded erotic dauy’s cool I can’t do that
Such a notion vanish along with the waiter, and there’s a slight space Now then, time for the real show
Did this guy date Hikari Yumesaki before? If they did, so what about it now? I don’t think she did reveal her real identity, and I don’t think she was trying toay–
“Kazeshi+ro”
And so,
“What?”
I asked
“Are you going out with anyone?”
“That’s quite an abrupt question Not at the moment, anyway What about that?”
At the moment?
What’s with the eue answer here!
“I-is that so? Not at the moment?”
“Yeah I don’t have any interest in that”
damn it So what’s the answer? Can’t you just be specific?
I’ to see if I can ask so out of this, but it seems Kazeshi+ro assumed that the topic has ended as he fiddled with the questionnaire form placed on the table, and I can’t ask any clarification about those vague answers shi+t
But well, it looks like any doubts about hiuess
And the moment I mutter this,
“–Hm?”
Kazeshi+ro opened his moment absentmindedly as he lifted his head Hm? What now?
“…Wait aso relieved now?”
“H much to that”
“No, you’re curious? Are you kidding me, hey?”
“Eh? Wh-why are you being so anxious here?”
“No, because boys–……ell, it’s nothing”
Kazeshi+ro ht the coffee to his lips with a bitter look What’s with hi really bad here
“Hey, what now? Did I just say so bad, Kazeshi+ro?”
“No, don’t s in the past There were people who frequently say this about ”
Hm?
“What do you ?”
“You know, that That, well, between men…there was an acquiantance I kneho once said this, thatabout what kind of face that was”
The deep eyes could be vaguely seen under the straight black hair as Kazeshi+ro muttered this hesitantly Ahh, well…I understand why you’re always said to be like that I too had the same suspicions just now
“Dammit nobody would say this if only I look like my dad Do you look like your dad, Sakamoto?”
“No well My dad’s a plain, short, salarye”
I answered as I add the sugar into the coffee, and Kazeshi+ro showed a bewildered look
“Eh? Didn’t you say that your dad’s a by player the other day?”
For goodness sake! That idiot! Cut it out!
“Ah, no, that’s the other dad”
“The other? …Ah”
Not good, this desperate excuse makes it sound like a paradise “…Sorry, I think I shouldn’t have asked about that My apologies” You don’t have to worry about that, Kazeshi+ro
“Hahaha…haha…”
I barely loo of which, I still have no idea who this guy is, I don’t know his relationshi+p with Hikari Yumesaki, and I don’t know his relationshi+p with me, which makes this impossibly hard to handle How a?
Feeling cos like test, TV I’ my hand here
“…Now then”
Just when I’er at myself in my heart
Kazeshi+ro fondled with the acrylic docket, and let out a noticeably deep voice,
“You expressedly came all the way to my school Do you really want to know, Sakamoto?”
…Oh dear, aren’t you saying quite the strange thing there, Kazeshi+ro?
This is really an unexpected big chance What I shall reply is–
“–Ah, of course”
Anyway, let’s hear what he has to say
Of course, I don’t have a plan From here on, I’ll let the topic continue on inevitably
“Noruy who saved h, Sakamoto, so I’m torn”
It looks like I saved him once
“Are you still doing that thing? That sexy Dream”
……I guess I’ it
“No, well, that’s when I’uess”
“I’m really envious of you, able to be so nonchalant about protecting someone”
Kazeshi+ro’s gru face is so miserable and transisent
damn it, did she fall of this face?
“But why are you so curious about that? I–…I don’t understand the reason why you’re interested about e”
“–Huh?”
In spite of ht into my ears
Revenge? Did he just say that?
Wait, wait, why do I feel that this is continuing in a strange direction–
“Ah, no, about that…I’e…”
Iup so as to try and pursue the topic
Hey wait, the topic’s continuing in a ht it would be
What’s going on here…?
“I guess it’s really bad not to watch my mouth It’s because I carelessly let a slip that you were harrassingcontact with me all this time Are you that concerned?”
Kazeshi+ro continued to stare at the black, glossy coffe ask he checked with me a perturbed voice
Tell hi him?
But I can’t say that
That girl’s the one harrassing hi to do with her
“I haven’t known you for long, but I know that you’re not a bad person However, I have to be gutsy and say this to you Sorry, but give up already”
Revenge Bad guy Gutsy I’m left speechless at these unfamiliar terms
“…”
Kazeshi+ro stares at this speechlesshis coffee
In the end, I’m unable to hear anyabout other topics clu to abandon this burdensoular time passed on
I’uy better than I expected He’s adept at listening, and is reat sense of huic fact that I completely lose to him as a man damn it, it’s no wonder that Hikari Yumesaki would like him Haa…
It seeular hat I said, for he would co on”
Such awell liked, huh?
damn it
“When I was being sexy Dreah school friend Well, that was about a ht, so I went out to play with hi this fros, but please don’t worry about it He’s a little prone to s”
“But even if you say so, there’s no way I can’t be concerned about that, right?”
I o
I know this is a pathetic feeling born out of jealousy, so I was hesitant as to whether I should write this event on the notebook However, I guess she would know inevitably, so I simply wrote it all down honestly
And Hikari Yumesaki’s reply is as as described above
However, I’m still unable to accept her explanation as it is
That girl coincidentally saved her friend Kazeshi+ro when she was going out being sexy Dream She was then concerned about hi this a secret from me However, Kazeshi+ro carelessly e’ that day, and Hikari Yumesaki, who probably had some idea on what it is, was curious about that…that’s probably all that is
Noet involved in this’ Even her conclusion was basically,
“Anyway, don’t worry about Kazeshi+ro I’m fine here”
“You’re fine, huh…?”
If this were a line in a young boys otcha, I trust you…’ However, reality is a palette filled with uts to say those words with all ht
“Looks like things are becoined, huh?”
Kazeshi+ro was probably Hikari Yuh I do have such a worry, I do think that things aren’t that simple here No, of course I’m curious as to the truth behind all of these too
The issue here is about that term
Without knowing about the ‘revenge’ Hikari Yuht, there’s no e can talk about solving this
And I have no idea what this has to do with Hikari Yumesaki Maybe there’s a possibility there’s no relation to that
However, he would not say it out anyway
No matter how much Kazeshi+ro would express himself, I’ll just end up a little overwhelmed as far as I’ serious about this She and I are the sa her going through a bad time as far as possible I can’t leave her like this even if my love isn’t posible
“Revenge, huh?”
I pull out the Middle School uniform that was thrown into a corner of my closet
It’s my ex-partner which I somehow left behind
I take out the student handbook hidden inside that pocket, and open it The rippling sounds of papers echo loudly within me
It’s Hikari Yumesaki’s student handbook
This is the proof that she was once alive, the proof that she died
The girl died in an accident
Based on the inforiven by the driver and eyewitness account, the police attributed this to an accidental death due to carelessness And she walked on the pedestrian crossing without paying attention, resulting in an unfortunate accident
“Kazeshi+ro…what in the world are you thinking?”
Because of what happened, it was grey all over two days later
Sole the diary, I felt devastated here
“I found some ero photos you’ll be happy with! Open up the second drawer from the bottom of the desk! Write down your reflection! (42 words by 34 lines composition paper, write 15 ~ 30 papers of them)
“Am I supposed to write a short story here?”
My hopes dashed, I open the drawer dejected, and found just an illustration on it with the words written, ‘you really thought they were ero photos? too bad! that’s Hikari-chan (ver: you wanna have a go?)’ There’s a strange illustration of a pretty black-haired girl sitting on the bench, with the hook of her jue However, this illustration does look rather faa about s, huh?
And also, it’s a waste that the work is of such good quality
“Goodness, she’s always doing that sort of stupid thing”
At the same time however, I feel a little relieved
It’s a great thing that she’s not unhappy and brooding over this
