Part 2
Everything started about a month ago. It was the day of my schoolâs cultural festival. The second day was open to the public.
âHey, youâre dressed surprisingly nicely today.â
I greet and bow slightly to Hori-san, the school janitor who is waiting by the front gate. As of this year, Hori-san has been working here for 20 years consecutively, paying attention to every corner every day, and keeping the high school beautiful.
âAre you waiting for someone? A family member?â
âNot family but, yeah, something like that.â
âYour lover?â
âNo way! Theyâre more like a friend⦠I guess?â
My mom isnât coming today. My older brother that lives in Tokyo is hospitalized with pneumonia. It seems he aggravated a summer cold, and my mom got worried and upset, so she decided to visit him for about a month. So thatâs why this year, I didnât plan to have anyone come to the cultural festival. I mentioned it to Sakurako-san while we were making small talk, I didnât really mean anything by it. To my surprise, she tilted her head and thought for a minute, then said âthen Iâll go.â I was surprised and a bit embarrassed, but also a bit happy. Itâs weird when she does something for me, instead of just for bones.
âF-first of all, we donât have a special relationship or anything.â
I try to hide my delight as I wave my hand at Hori-san.I always worry about how to answer when people ask me about Sakurako-san. Maybe the most accurate way to put it would be a âteacher and student relationshipâ? Though I donât particularly want to learn about bones and corpses. While we were talking, I notice that the decorations on the school gate got blown by the wind, so I fix the tape.
It was past the time we agreed to meet, but Sakurako-san still wasnât there. Sheâs always loose when it comes to meeting times, but I started to worry about if sheâd come at all. Just as I started to get worried, she finally showed up.
âYouâre late! I thought you werenât coming!â
âReally?â
âGeez, if you donât have a phone, you should at least carry around a watch.â
Under the sun, Sakurako-sanâs white dress clearly stands out, even among the unique atmosphere of the cultural festival. With her nice posture and beautiful way of walking, I feel a bit superior for being with her.
âNo, no, what kind of relationship do you have?â Hori-san pulls me aside and asks me. I guess thatâs to be expected if weâre walking together, even if weâre not holding hands.
âWeâre really just acquaintances.â
Iâm sure itâs surprising (even if it isnât said) to see me with a beautiful person like Sakurako-san. Honestly, I didnât think we were quite so unbalanced today.
âStill, I didnât expect you to be interested in a school cultural festival. My class this year is selling pancakes. What do you want to do? Want something to eat?â
Sakurako-san is covering one ear and scowling at me, since Iâm talking louder than usual. She slowly opens her mouth to respond.
