Chapter 5

“Onii-chan, I wonder where you are. He didn’t reply to me no matter how many times I tried to contact him. He doesn’t even come to school.”

A petite girl in an empty classroom, with her head filled with worry.

She calls Satoru “Onii-chan” and is one of the people close to him. She is one of the girls who was saved by Satoru and loves him dearly.

Her face is young and idol-like, and is more popular than Karen. She has bre**ts that are disproportionate to her petite physique, and many fans want to cry on her chest.

She is really a voice actress and quite popular, and although she tends to miss school, she does go to school when she gets spare time because Satoru is there.

“Come to think of it, I don’t know where Onii-chan lives. Where does he live? I wonder if he went on a family trip? But it’s been too long for that. He hasn’t been coming for a week. Besides, the reply is usually late. I usually get one within 30 minutes.”

She sighed at her own negligence when she realized that after all this time that she doesn’t even know where his house is.

“Maybe, some other girl did something bad to him? Onii-chan is too kind, so he attracts eccentric girls.” 

Just as the faces of Mika and Misuzu appeared in her head, she heard a voice.

“Sakura-san, I would like to ask you something.”

“……Sigh. I’m a little busy right now. Can we talk about this later, the student council president?”

Right now, Someone of great admiration, who I have no desire to see, has appeared in front of me, and I can’t help but make a disgusted expression. 

Normally, I play the role of a good student or worker at school or the workplace, but when it comes to the women who gather around Satoru, I end up displaying this kind of attitude.

“….. I want to talk about Satoru-kun. If you’re still too busy, I will leave.”

“…..Fine. I’ll listen to you Ms. Student Council President.”

As long as Satoru was involved, Sakura felt she had no choice but to listen.

“Sakura-san, do you have any idea where Satoru-kun is?”

“…..I don’t know. I really thought that you were imprisoning Onii-chan somewhere.”

“I would not do something of the like. I want to have a clean relationship with Satoru-kun.”

“Hee…..As expected of the Student Council President that everyone admires.”

Misuzu’s blood rushed to her head as she heard Sakura’s sarcastic tone; she wanted to record this voice and ruin her life, but she thought it would be wrong to retort against a lower classman, so she took a breath and resumed the conversation. 

Besides, I have a strong feeling that Satoru would hate me if I did that.

“So, Sakura-san doesn’t even know where Satoru-kun is.”

“…Well, that’s right. That’s why I’m looking for it now.”

“…..Would you like us to join hands?”

“Join hands?”

“Yes, it means that we will search for Satoru-kun together.”

“I understand that much, but does the student council president have any idea where Satoru-kun is?”

“I was wondering if it’s one of the women who approached Satoru-kun.”

“You’re thinking the same thing as me.”

“But if that’s true, then it’s not Sakura-san either, which means only Shouko-san of first year is left.” 

Shouko, a first year, the only girl left. 

That girl is…..

Chapter 6

It was around noon, and she would be back in about four hours. However, I have nothing to do if she is not here, so I have no choice but to wait quietly.

Misuzu, Karen, Mika, Sakura, and Shoko.

I wonder how everyone is doing now?

I’m sure Misuzu continues to live as a wonderful person who serves as a role model for the students. She was able to reconcile with her parents without my help, so I’m sure her parents are fulfilling my role, therefore, Misuzu should be fine.

Karen. 

I don’t think I have to worry too much about her. I think that she is already comfortable in her class and will be fine without me for the rest of her life.

The one I’m most worried about is Mika. 

Mika has extreme anxiety and is very insecure and so maybe if I were to leave, she might go back to the way she was before, but recently she has calmed down, so I’m sure she’ll be fine. 

I know Sakura is still working hard on her voice acting career, so I’m not worried about her, but I hope her mind hasn’t frayed again. I hope her heart hasn’t frayed again. I haven’t heard much about her recently.

Shouko is ……. just then there was a knock at the door.

Who in the world could that be? Basically, the maids don’t visit my room except for lunch and cleaning the room, and I just finished lunch so I don’t think it could be them. 

“You can come in.”

Following my words, the door opened with a clank and a maid walked in; she closed it vigorously and then turned around to face me.

“Finally, I found you. Found you, Satoru.”

“Sho-Shouko? How in the world did you get here ………..?”

“I missed you so so much, Satoru. I’m always with Satoru.” 

Her voice is as quiet as ever and her facial expression did not change much, but I could tell that she was bursting with joy from the way she was hugging me tightly and nuzzling her head against my chest.

She was like a puppy, and when I patted her on the head, she wiggled her body as if she was wagging her tail.

Shouko Kagamine.

She’s half-Japanese and has long silver hair. Her lustrous silver hair matches her uniquely Japanese face and makes her look exceptionally beautiful. That is why she was so miserable when she was a child. Well, let’s put that aside for now.

She is not very tall and is probably the same height as Sakura. Though her bre**ts are much larger than Sakura’s.

According to her, “If Satoru rubs me, I could become a Z-cup,” but I had no intention of rubbing them, so I just patted her head and asked her to give me some space.

Shouko’s excitement did not seem to subside, and she somehow began to calm down because of stroking her head for a few minutes.

Well, she still sat on my lap as usual. 

“Shouko, how did you get those maid clothes?”

“After I infiltrated this house and gently put the maid to sleep, I borrowed her clothes.”

“…..Seriously.”

I’ll have to apologize later.

“How did you know I was alive? And how did you find this place?”

“Actually, on the day Satoru disappeared, I saw him at the station…”

Shoko is active on the internet and is a Vtuber. Apparently there was a recording session that day, and she happened to see me at the station on her way home that day. 

And Shoko seemed to have sensed from me that I was going to go somewhere far away, so she quietly followed me.

Shoko thought of calling out to me when I reached the sea, but because I called out to a girl, Shoko, who is shy, couldn’t talk to me and kept watching. 

Then the girl took me by the hand, and I think she saw me being taken away somewhere.

That’s why she was utterly convinced that I wasn’t dead, and used every means she had to find out where I was.

“But, are you going to school properly?”

“Am not. Finding Satoru was more important. I love Satoru.”

She already doesn’t like to go school, and now, what if because of me she doesn’t go to school at all. After all the effort, she just started to move forward with her head up. 

Also, how should I explain this situation to her? I’m sure she’ll be angry.
