10 years had passed since I started playing the game of sekkusu with my childhood friend. - Chapter 29. I seem to have expended all of my luck.

29. I seem to have expended all of my luck.

Even though it was September, the city still felt hot, as if itwas just natural. After walking through the sweltering, concrete-lit streets, I finally arrived at school.

As I entered the classroom, Fukuo and Inawashiro, who were happily chatting with each other, saw and waved at me.

“Oh, Sagara, Good morning!”

“Good morning, it is.”

“… Good morning.”

It feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve talked to someone.

As I sat down to my seat with a dazed head, Inawashiro peeked into me with a worried look on her face.

“Sagara, what’s wrong, you don’t seem to be in good spirits.”

“Isn’t that pretty thing?”

“Now that you say, that is also true. After all, you didn’t come to school even once on the very first day of school.”

“First day of school?”

“Ah, as I thought, you forgot about that, didn’t you. You didn’t even reply to your line-messages as well.”

Saying that, Inawashiro went on to rummage into the school bag of someone other than herself, saying ‘there it is’ and took out a print copy that was in question.

“The role assigned for the upcoming Cultural Festival, and practice.”

“…Now that I think of it, I do remember having seen something like this.”

“Well, there were a lot of people other than Sagara who didn’t attend as well. As decided, Sagara is with me, in charge of the props department. Let’s work hard together~.”

“Ou…”

I look into the print document once again, a bit more carefully. I had not gone through it all that well earlier; so it seems that our class has decided on going with drama in the festival.

The story is 『 Beauty and the Beast 』”

“I happen to be that Beast.”

“Doesn’t it suit you so well.”

“It was decided to be me before I could even grasp on what was going on. Everyone started saying on things such as, how they were so busy with their clubs and tasks. So it was decided to be my part unilaterally.”

“Without a doubt, it was your body that decided the outcome.”

The culture club is busy with various performances, and the athletic club is busy with the fall competition. After all, it is a festival only for parents and relatives, so there are very few students, other than the most senior students, who actively put their efforts into it.

“Who will play the heroine?”

“So you wanna know~ …”

As Inawashiro was about to open her mouth with a truly happy smirk on her face. But, before that could happen and I could hear the name, the person in question appeared.

“Good morning”

With a ‘whoosh’ a fine refreshing breeze passes by me just like that.

Haruhime, whom I met after quite some time, had her hair grown a little longer than what was before. And her long hair swept across my vision as if natural.

Inawashiro called out to Haruhime as she walked in.

“Good morning, Ms lead.’

“U…… that’s a little embarrassing. Marie-chan.”

“Why~, You look so amazing.”

Haruhime shook her head hastily, saying, “That’s not at all true,” and took her seat after that.

“Fukuo and Haruhime?”

“Yes, The Beauty and the Beast.”

“…… Is this for serious?”

“I’ve exhausted my luck completely.”

His eyes brimming with tears, Fukuo folded his arms across.

“When Haru-cchi said that she would want to go with it, all the boys started saying that they wanted to play the lead role. Well, Fukuo was lucky because he already got chosen first.”

“Wait a minute. That Haruhime, on her own?”

“Un, she did.”

“……, don’t tell me.”

I have no interest about Fukuo in the least bit.

The only thing that surprised me, was the fact that that Haruhime had volunteered to be the lead-star of the show. Someone who doesn’t want to stand out more than anyone else.

“Well, wouldn’t it be just that, she wanted to try doing it?”

Inawashiro shrugged her shoulders at my question and said.
