Chapter 104 – A Presence Nobody Wants [Umakura Kageno’s POV]
[Umakura Kageno’s POV]
That day, contact with him brought about a change in me.
My classmates, who had not paid any attention to me before, started to notice me.
“Hey, you were talking to Taketo-sama, right?”
“Eh? Uh, yeah. Just for a little bit.”
“Hmm.”
As I affirmed, she grabbed me by the collar.
“Don’t get carried away!”
It wasn’t just her.
Many others began to notice me.
I was gloomy, weak, and unable to do anything, and I felt their unpleasant and sinister gazes.
“Ouch!”
Suddenly, getting bumped into became routine.
“Taketo-sama isn’t the type of person that someone as gloomy as you should approach.”
It has become normal for people to nag me when I pass by.
I started being approached by a different person almost every day.
“Wow, the gloomy girl is watering the flowers. Won’t the flowers wither?”
“Hey, getting noticed by Taketo-sama once doesn’t mean you’re all that, you know?”
“Huh, she’s cleaning? No way, she’s only making the classroom dirtier.”
They were people who had previously had no interest in me and didn’t even spare a glance.
How could this have happened?
If it were like this, it would have been easier to remain unnoticed by everyone as before.
It would have been better to be ignored.
Why? Why do unpleasant things happen to me when I stand out? Are the people in that light also experiencing such scrutiny? Am I the only one who is different?
“Hmm? What’s going on there?”
While I was being harassed, Tatemiya Yuushi-kun, a person that receives a lot of attention, passed by.
“Ah, no, it’s nothing. It has nothing to do with Tatemiya-kun.”
“Is that so? Well, I’m running for student council, so if there’s anything troubling you, feel free to reach out. Huh? You seem familiar, have we met somewhere before?”
“She’s not someone Tatemiya-kun needs to worry about.”
A girl cut it as if to hide me.
“Really? Hmm, I feel like I’ve seen her before. Anyway, please vote for me.”
A person who emits a dazzling light will probably never be bullied.
In the end, it’s because I’m weak…
Because I couldn’t help but feel a bit happy when he spoke to me.
“Don’t misunderstand just because you were spoken to. You’re just a gloomy, bottom-tier person, after all.”
It doesn’t even matter who said that to me.
If I just continue to take care of the flowerbeds and clean the classroom, Taketo-sama will be happy.
Or so I thought…
The autumn cosmos bloomed, but my joy was short-lived.
“Uwaa, the autumn cosmos that the gloomy girl bloomed are too creepy!”
Saying that, she trampled on the cosmos flowers.
Stop!
Stop it!!
Stop it, please!!!
The flowers have nothing to do with it!!!
Before I knew it, I was pushing the person who stepped on the flowers.
She just fell on her butt, but my actions angered her.
Three people grabbed me by the hair and started hitting me.
“You guys! What are you doing?!”
It was Toranomon Akemi-sama… Another person who walks the path of light again.
“Oh no!”
The three ran away so that their faces couldn’t be seen.
“Are you okay?”
Saying that, she brushed away the sand from me with her handkerchief.
People who walk in the light must have it easy.
I guess the only thing a shadow like me can do is quietly disappear.
Even if I disappeared, no one would notice.
“I’m fine now. Thank you.”
“Are you sure? You don’t look too good.”
“No, really, I’m okay.”
“If you need anything, please call me.”
“Yes, thank you.”
What will happen if I call out to you? I think both Tatemiya-kun and Toranomon-sama are good people.
But the stronger the light shines, the more the shadows are swallowed up by darkness.
“Once again, you’re sucking up to them!”
“You’re the worst.”
When I moved away from the light, darkness came to crush my heart.
Ah, I see.
I’m an unwanted presence.
No one wants me.
Rather, if I stand out, I’ll be treated as an unnecessary existence.
I don’t want this…
…
“What are you doing?”
As I was just one step away beyond the fence on the roof…
“I want to be free. Please, can you just leave me alone?”
“Um, that might be a bit difficult.”
“The worst days started from the day you spoke to me. Many people looked at me with contempt, and many cruel things were done to me.”
“I’m sorry. I should have noticed it sooner…”
Deep down, I know he’s not at fault.
It’s because I couldn’t refute what was being said to me.
Because I accepted what they said and the unpleasant things done to me.
However, I was afraid that if I fought back, something worse would happen to me.
So I just endured the unpleasantness, hoping it would eventually pass…
“Leave me alone.”
“Sorry. That’s impossible. Hold on.”
“Why? Why are you crossing the fence too?! If you fall from here, you’ll die!”
“That’s true. But you see, have you ever really died?”
“Huh? What are you talking about? When you die, it’s over! Everyone knows that!”
“Yeah. That’s true. But, it’s not like that.”
He effortlessly takes the step that I couldn’t.
“Be careful!”
“It’s okay. It’s still half a step. My life is still in this world.”
“Hey, stop it! You have everything, don’t you?! You walk the path of light, you have status, honor, looks, knowledge, money, you have it all, don’t you?!! You don’t need to die! I’m the one who has to die!”
“No!”
He looked at me and shouted out loud.
He used to speak in a gentle voice, but now he has a strong voice.
“I won’t say such nice words like no one deserves to die. There are a lot of evil people out there. But I don’t want you to die. Because I need you.”
“That’s a lie!”
“It’s not a lie. So, can I ask you something?”
“What, I’m about to die right here right now!”
“Will you be my girlfriend?”
“…What! What are you talking about?! There’s no way a gloomy girl like me could be the girlfriend of someone who follows the path of light like you!”
Ah, he’s making fun of me too.
That’s it.
I can’t believe anyone.
Feeling betrayed by him, I took the final step.
“Goodbye.”
“I told you I wouldn’t let you.”
I was hugged tightly.
But I wasn’t standing on the roof anymore.
Even so, he still hugged me.
“Eh!? What are you doing?!”
“I told you. I need you, so I won’t let you die. Besides, I’ve died once before, so this time I’m going to live this life stubbornly!”
He hugged me tightly.
Even my parents never hugged me this tightly.
His words were true.
However, I couldn’t believe him, and I dragged him with me.
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t give up! I won’t let you die. And I won’t die either.”
However, we fell from the rooftop of a six-story building. Falling from that height, we’ll definitely…
