I'm Sorry

Monday, 21st April, 2020. 08:40.

Am I not mistaken? One class with Meira? She's a class rep? How lucky I am! Maybe I'll surprise her.

"Kazuki-sensei... I took some mental damage, may I go to infirmary?"
"Help yourself! Don't do scandalous things to Shitenma-san, she usually sleep in the morning."
"Don't need to tell me!"
"Take Koinu-kun too!"
"...okay."

With that I take off to the infirmary.

"Infirmary... where’s it?"

I forgot that I'm in real life. I can't warp to another scene automatically like galge. I am really an idiot! So I must get back to the first floor to see school map.

"..."

The infirmary's beside my class? Why I don't check it in the first place! Or maybe that teacher should tell me it was only 5 meter from class's door!

So I headed back to the second floor. When I arrived on infirmary, there's certainly a shadow of person lying on the bed. I opened the curtain believed in my heart that it's Meira.

"Mei~ra~te-!"

I saw a girl with her upper underwear showed blatantly.

I slide back the curtain to cover her. It's certainly Meira, she changed a lot, she got prettier, she dyed black her hair before, but now she have natural silver hair like before she colored them. And her height has grown, but that's only natural. But she still chibi(little) for a second year junior high school student, is what I realized in an instant.

What's that teacher doing? She knew that Meira always took off her shirt like this? For a boy this is a lucky situation, but for me it's a kind of indirect torturing! What kind of punishments will await for me if I gone out of control!

"Is there anyone?"

Meira showed her head out of the curtain.

"!-Meira..."
"That voice! That hair! That puppy looking face!"
"The last one wasn't needed!"
"Kou-kun! It's you!" jumped on me.
"Yes! It's me-!"

The impact of body weight collaborated with gravity are multiplied! So it's hurt more than the Devil Bat Dive I used this morning!

"Meira! I know you're happy! Me too! Even more! But please look at the situation!" I already closed my eyes tightly.
"What situation? Why your heart's beating so fast?"
"If you can realize that, please realize this situation first!"

She looked carefully back the situation. She blushed more than me. It was my inner eyes who told me.

"Don't look at me!"
"I already closed my eyes pretty long ago!"
"PERVERT!!!"
"It's my fault!? It's that uncooperative teacher's fault!"
"Whatever! Close your eyes!"
"I already did that from a long time ago!"

She closed the curtain again.

I think I pointed my finger to Meira, and I realized that I was pointing on different direction. But I'm glad that she didn't give me physical impact unlike Yuri and Kazuki-sensei. But still... if anyone see this, there will be a misunderstanding.

Sobbing... what? She's crying? Why?

"Meira... why're you crying? Is it because I saw you when your clothes aren't properly on? If it's like that, I'm sorry!"
"No... I always thinking... why you stopped going to school since back then was my fault or not..."
"..."
"Answer me! Why are you keep quiet?!"
"I'm sorry... you're the reason..."

I think the truth were justice after all...

"But..."
"But...?"
"You're also the reason I'm here."

Yes. Because of her, I found my goal. Wait! Isn't this like indirect confession?! This is bad!

"A-a-ah! There's no bad meaning-"

Once again, she jumped-no! This time she hugged me.

"Mei-ra?"
"Thanks, for comforting me."
"...It's my fault that you're suffering anyway... I'm sorry..."

I thought of hugging her, but my mental is still not ready, so I will pass.

A bark came in.

"?"

She realized that I bring a puppy to the nurse office. I also just remembered.

"Cu~te~!"
"Ah! I got an Idea! Why don't you gave this little one a name?"
"I can? Wait! How did you bring a pet to school?"
"Many things happened that I almost never want to remember again, but they already traumatize me so I can't forget them easily. To put it easily, I gave him foods, he followed me here, the end. Even though I just transferred here..."
"It sure tough, but I always believe that you're a tough one~"
"I'll be glad if I have that confidence in myself."
"Wanna some?~"
"The hell I could get it! Just think a name for this little guy. The class already gave me a headache."
"Gin (silver)?"

Wait! It's white! There's a problem with-

*bark*

Right! That bark-te-! This little guy responded?

"He responded! It means 'Gin' is fine right? Kou-kun~"
"It's better than the class's suggestions, so it's fine. He likes it too."
"Yup~" Meira smiled widely.

As I expected, her face just like sparkling snow in my eyes. This is bad... If I smirk all along, I'll be marked as a weird one.

"You already marked!"

Kazuki-sensei appeared behind me all suddenly and gave me chill.

"? What are you exactly! You always show up in the middle of conflicts you know! Even you can read my mind! Are you an esper all this time?! If it's so, answer me!"
"If I add 'ore sanjou'(I arrived) in my line will it be perfect?"
"That's not an answer to my question! And it's just imitating, so you better don't!"
"I don't want to hear that from you~"
"Ah-!"

I just remembered that I used 2D as reference to create things. As I expected... I'm an idiot too...

"What kind of weird action did I make?!"
"You're doing so much 'tsukkomi' in your first day while you still in junior high school. Even Kazama siblings only do it when they're already in high school."
"Aren't that your fault?!"
"And so, plan success~" opening a beer can and gulping it.
"What kind of plan?! And don't drink beer at school!"
"Here you go again~"
"It's because I believed in justice!"

She already drank it until the last drop.

"That's why you still haven't found the replacement for Hataka-san."
"Right hand to the hospital, left hand to the grave, both hand to hospital in hell!"
"I'm sorry! I'll be more careful from now on."
"Whatever~ please back to the class, homeroom's almost over."

We headed back to the classroom and left 'Gin' to the security. I take the seat near the window, perfect place to exceed my imagination. And I remembered that Meira's scared of height, maybe the god grant her wish. No. I did.

The seat's also behind Yuri and beside Meira. Yuri never talked to me since this morning, so I tried to talk to her.

"um... Yuri."
"Don't talk to me!"

She still mad? She started to cry? Oh no, this is bad!

"Oy, Yuri! I'm really sorry about this morning! Please don't cry!"

When she raised her face, I realized that she was trying to hold her laugh and she laughed while viewing my face.

"Um...Yuri-san..."
"Sorry... ahaha... I always hold it since you're doing tsukkomi this morning. I can't believe I could see the real one... pffft..."

It feels a bit annoying, but...

"Your laughing face is way better than when you're crying."
"..."

She didn't respond? Where did I go wrong? Even she blushed?

"Hey, Meira!"

"..."

 

She turns her neck, averting eyes contact with me.

She didn't respond too.

"You must be an idiot!"
"Sure it is!"

It was that yankee looked student and Kazuki-sensei who interrupted. The class also agreed.

"At least tell me where I do wrong..."

 

And a voice from my head told me.

 

“That’s a sexual harassment.”

“Where!?”
