Not Enough Attendance Days!

“I really am worried about you, Kanie-kun,” Seiya’s homeroom teacher, Ms. Konoike, said to him in the south building’s guidance office. “You’ve only been at school for ten days in April. That’s about half absences, you know? I know you’ve been sick and you’ve had family problems, but enough is enough. You don’t seem to be fitting in with the rest of the class, and on top of that, your grades are sliding. Will you please tell me the real reason for your absences?”

Internally, Kanie Seiya was annoyed. He’d been struggling with the lousy amusement park he’d been put in charge of, trying to find ways to boost attendance. He had things to do, dammit, and he resented having to waste his time sitting here, dealing with some mediocre teacher’s self-satisfying show of concern.

Normally he would have loved to tell her off. What the hell do you care? he’d say. The things I’m dealing with would make a pathetic public servant like you piss her pants and cry. The fates of hundreds are riding on my decisions! If you want to play ‘concerned mommy,’ do it on your own time! Idiot!

Ah, I want to say it. I really, really want to say it. But for all of his faults, Seiya had more sense than to talk to his teachers that way.

“...I’m sorry, Sensei,” Seiya said, swallowing his annoyance. “But it’s not like I’ve been lying. I have been going through a difficult time, mentally and physically...” He let out a long sigh.

Ah, well done. A perfect performance, he told himself. Not too strong, not too soft; just the right balance. Now instead of jabbering on, this stupid woman will feel pity for my amazing, handsome self and say, “I see... I’m sorry.”

This, in fact, was what Ms. Konoike said. “I see... I’m sorry, Kanie-kun.”

“It’s all right...” he trailed off, while thinking: Great. That’s right, you backwater desk jockey. Now get your nose out of my business.

But she wasn’t quite done yet. “...But you need to do something about your attendance, at least. You’ll get held back if you don’t, okay?”

“Please...” he implored, “isn’t there something you can do?”

“I’m afraid not,” Ms. Konoike said firmly.

“......” He didn’t know what to say.

“You need to come to class,” she continued. “Understand?”
