Episode 5: The Immutability and Potential Change of Destruction
“…No matter how you look at it, that’s not a fake blue sky.”
During lunch break the next day,
Yesterday, I managed to get through the first day somehow. While my family relationships are good, my classmates are too scared to talk to me.
So, I’m sitting on the rooftop, gazing at the sky while munching on the sandwich I bought from the school store. The rooftop door is usually locked, but I know it’s left unlocked and the key is placed on a nearby box.
It’s like an item.
Let me gather my thoughts.
First, me – Mitsuru Toudou, ultimately meets destruction. There are several routes to that. Family separation, expulsion, and… death.
I don’t want to think about the last one, but it’s a fact.
To prevent myself from becoming utterly wicked, I need to alter this world.
However, the former protagonist, Tsukasa Tendou, had an expression clearly different from the game. There’s… anxiety in my heart.
There should be various events coming up. Every time, the original me causes trouble. I have to prevent all of that and secure a stable future.
That’s my wish, but ideally, I want to achieve a happy ending. I hope Tsukasa gets along with Hiyono and interacts with various necessary characters.
While restraining myself, I’ll choose the best route.
…Can I do it?
At that moment, Hiyono’s face blocks the view of the blue sky.
“Are you here?”
“Ah, w-wah!”
I involuntarily startle and step back. Hiyono wears a sad expression.
“That’s mean. Why did you move away?”
“N-No, I was just surprised.”
She suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Wait, wasn’t the door supposed to be locked again…?
“How did you know I was here?”
“It’s a trade secret.”
She seems to have figured it out. Sharp.
“Then how did you know?”
“I just knew you were here.”
That’s not a proper answer. Maybe GPS? Is there a tag or something on my body?
“I haven’t put a tracking device on you. But I could if you’d like.”
It seems I’ve been found out. She’s sharp.
“Then how did you know?”
“It’s a trade secret.”
Scary, is this… the person I know? Wait, she’s holding something in her hand. A lunchbox – it seems.
“A healthy high school boy needs more than that. I made you a bento.”
“…For whom?”
“Isn’t it obvious? It’s for you, Mitsuru.”
“U-Uh…”
Grateful, but also a bit uneasy. Is this for a particular reason?
And the orange peel is already removed.
“Thank you, but… just oranges?”
“No, there’s something else.”
She opens another compartment. Inside, it’s filled with various side dishes that seem to embody a boy’s dreams.
“Thank you for the meal.”
“You’re welcome ♡”
Hiyono’s eyes are still heart-shaped.
—
“Phew, that was delicious. Thanks.”
“No problem. The rice is happy that you enjoyed it.”
That unique way of speaking is typical of Hiyono. Her actions may be different from the original, but fundamentally, she hasn’t changed.
Pat, pat, pat, Hiyono sits in seiza and pats her own knee.
“Here you go.”
“Here you go?”
“A healthy boy should take it easy after eating.”
Her soft-looking thighs come into view. An irresistible charm, pure white thighs. The scent of shampoo wafts gently from her enchanting eyes.
Is it okay to be here when no one else is around…?
“…Excuse me.”
“Yes ♡”
I feel happy. Ah, so happy.
The chime signaling the end of lunch rings, and we both return separately to our classrooms. Being seen together might lead to rumors I don’t want.
After returning to the classroom, it’s time for physical education. I change into gym clothes. Comparing my body to others… I’m surprised.
My physique is muscular beyond comparison to my past life. However, it’s covered in countless scars. I hadn’t looked closely at home, so it feels strange to see someone else’s body.
But there’s a sense of unity in it.
“Alright, let’s go!”
Tsukasa Tendou stands out during soccer class. His ball control is so exceptional, you’d mistake him for a professional soccer player, easily surpassing the confident guys in athleticism.
Ah… so cool.
When the ball comes to me,
“Watch out… Toudou!”
“Ah-!”
The surroundings stir. Hey, it’s during class! Isn’t this bad?! Wouldn’t a ball-related homicide be a problem!?
Thinking that, Tsukasa approaches me with sharp movements.
Not wanting to lose it, I move sharply too.
I feel like my body moves better than usual, significantly improving my athleticism.
Feeling the joy, I smile— “Gyahh!”
The next moment, Tsukasa falls over completely. I didn’t hit him, did I?
The surroundings buzz with commotion, and the health committee members take him away.
Naturally, they must think I did it on purpose.
I didn’t, though.
—
In the end, my reputation plummeted.
Guess it was true after all, and the rumors got even worse.
Negative words linger in my mind.
Is fate unchangeable? Or should I retreat again? Spend my life just watching people from my window, not stepping out of my house?
After being reborn…
“Let’s go home, Mitsuru.”
“…If you talk to me now, you’ll get burnt.”
It might be a little cheesy. Or maybe just self-preservation.
“? What do you mean?”
“No, it’s just that if we get along, your reputation will suffer.”
“That doesn’t matter. I know about you, Mitsuru. Even about the soccer incident? It’s just an accident, right? You don’t need to worry about it.”
Hiyono understands me.
Even in the game, she was like a perfect Japanese woman. Perhaps she’ll accept the real me.
“Yes, let’s go.”
Suddenly, she offers her hand to me.
“A hand?”
“It’s normal to hold hands on the way home.”
This natural gesture is just like in the game.
“Wait a minute!”
Turning around, Kouzen Rinka was there.
“Toudou should hold my hand on the way home. And Hiyono isn’t even going the same way, right?”
“That’s not true. My route includes passing by Mitsuru’s house.”
She appears and immediately shoots me a fierce gaze.
I couldn’t help but smile.
There are people who understand. That’s why I won’t give up. I’ll make an effort not to meet destruction.
“I won’t hold hands with either of you… Let’s go home.”
“Yes, let’s go. You can come with us, Rinka.”
“What!? I’m going home too!”
I don’t want to feel lonely like in my past life.
In this world, I want to grasp happiness.
And if possible… I’d like a decent girlfriend too.
