Buying a Weeping Girl Under the Wintry Sky, and Making Her Too Happy. - Chapter 56: My True Colors

My True Colors.

“Kuroshima-kun”

“…Hmm?”

“Is Miyu-chan on leave today?”

“Looks like it.”

As Takemiya-said said, Miyu did not even come to school, let alone come home. In fact, it was impossible for Miyu to have come to school since her school uniform was at my house.

“Looks like it? …Did you get in a fight?”

“…….”

“Huh… It’s so easy to understand you. Do you want me to talk to you?”

“No need.”

“No, but…”

“Please let me be.”

“…Okay.”

Huh. …I really don’t know what I’m doing… Takemiya-san was trying to listen to me with good intentions and I completely took it out on her. Besides…

“By the looks of it, she didn’t go to Takemiya-san’s house…?”

Miyu didn’t come home, so I thought she was in the way of someone else’s house. Among her friends, Takemiya-san’s house was a strong possibility for me in the sense of Miyu’s friend, but apparently it was not true.

“Don’t mean to tell me she had spent the day outside in the open…?”

It is April now, so it is getting warmer during the day, but at night it gets quite cold outside, so even if you don’t die, there is a high possibility that you will catch a cold. And most of all, Miyu will definitely attract some not-so-good people around her when she is outside. Even when we were going to the amusement park, we were picked up when we decided to meet at the station…

“…She’s alright, right?”

That thought suddenly made me feel anxious. I immediately got up from my seat and prepared to go home, but since morning homeroom had not even started yet, all I had to do was put the pens and pencils out of my bag back into my bag.

“Kuroshima-kun? What’s wrong?”

“I’m going home.”

“What?”

When I was about to leave the classroom with my bag, Takemiya-san approached me. I think Takemiya-san is a really nice person to talk to me even though I had just pushed her away in a snide way. I’m really glad that someone like her is Miyu’s friend, but I don’t have time for that right now, so I just told her in brief and left the classroom.

Then I walk out of the school gate, passing by the students coming to school. A teacher standing in front of the school gate called out to me, but I ignore and headed for home. I thought that Miyu might be coming home.

“She’s not here…”

I was not sure if this was going to work out the way I wanted it to, and Miyu did not come home. This made me more anxious, so I tried to send her a message on LINE, but…

“How in the world should I text her now…?”

However, I must make sure Miyu is safe or I will never be able to forgive myself if it is too late before I talk to the police. I was sure that I would commit suicide. There was no time for hesitation. I called Miyu, and the call was connected immediately.

“Miyu!? Are you okay?!”

“…Yeah.”

“Where are you now?”

“…Sorry.”

Then she hung up the phone. I am not sure if I can say that Miyu is safe and sound but I was relieved to know that she is still alive.

“But, why did she apologise….. I’m the one who should say sorry, what is she apologizing for… Damn…”

Besides, I don’t know where Miyu is right now. I’d like to think that the phone was connected immediately and Miyu answered, which means she wasn’t abducted or anything like that, but…

“Police Station…”

I suppose the most right thing to do would be to talk to the police, but then it would probably become a big deal, and that’s not the point.

“Miyu’s parents would come too right…”

It is only natural that the parents would be the ones to talk to the police, and Miyu would no doubt spend time with them again. This might be a good thing if it was supposed to be, but they are the parents who abandoned their child once. I am sure that something bad will happen… And I don’t want Miyu to see her parents again, and I have no intention of letting her.

“But this is also very selfish of me…”

Talking to the police is a last resort. There is a great possibility that this selfishness may lead to irreparable consequences.

“Whether I consult the police or not, the outcome will be worse…”

It looks like I can’t do this one on my own anymore… I am selfish yet helpless. I can’t do anything myself, just pushing my ego on others. I’m just a talker. That was who I was.

Looking back now, I had been forcing my ego on Miyu for a long time. Miyu accepted it. Maybe I was getting carried away by her kindness. I thought Miyu would listen to anything I said.

“So this is the result of tha…”

But then I wouldn’t have left things the way they are. This is the result of my selfish behavior. I can’t allow anything to happen to Miyu because of this. I am powerless. Then I have no choice but to rely on those who have the power.

“…I have to go.”

With these words, I left the house.
