Part 2

It's dawn, and the next day has arrived.

The final special exam for the year 1s will begin soon.

When I entered the classroom, Hirata had not yet arrived. Mii-chan's expression was still

gloomy.

The whole class had pushed him to the corner of their minds, but they were still worried about

him.

The man who was indispensable for Class C arrived in class.

Everyone refused to turn their eyes to Hirata.

"A-good morning ... Hirata-kun."

After all, Mii-chan was the only one who always spoke to Hirata first.

She held back her sadness and tried her best to keep smiling.

After Hirata saw it, he approached her.

"Hey."

Mii-chan remembered what happened yesterday, and her body stiffened for a moment.

After seeing his posture, Hirata tried his best to bow his head.

"Good morning. I am very sorry about yesterday. I did something unnecessary to you."

"... Eh?"

Hirata's words were apologetic and filled with guilt.

" I want to say this. You always have tried hard to talk to me before, even though I always

ignored you. I'm really sorry."

"Oh, that, I'm not at all ..."

Hirata had a different appearance. It wasn't only Mii-chan who felt surprised. It was everyone in

the class.

"Everyone - good morning!"

Hirata showed a bright and refreshing smile. His gloomy expression yesterday was almost like a

lie.

"Hi-Hirata-kun?"

"I'm fine now, it's not a problem."

Hirata said that and showed a gentle smile to Mii-chan and bowed his head to the students in

the class.

"Maybe it's too late to apologize now ... If you guys don't mind, I want to continue to contribute to

the class like I did before."

Hirata said that, while continuing to bow his head.

All the boys and girls look at each other, taking a few seconds to understand the situation.

But ---

"Hirata-kun!"

First, several girls rushed to Hirata, and then most of the boys and girls surrounded him.

Everyone had been waiting for Hirata's return, and there was nobody who wasn't happy about it.

"What happened?"

Horikita, who watched from a distance confused with the situation, asked me.

"I told you, right? There will be changes depending on what the people around him do. "

"That's true, but ... It's not because you did anything, right?"

"Does it look like I did?"

"There's no way I can tell."

"Everyone's opportunity to re-energize is different. Many people make peace with others as if

nothing happened after they had had a big fight with one other."

Human relations are like so.

After receiving a welcome greeting again, Hirata approached the final person.

"Good morning Horikita-san."

Hirata stared straight and clearly at Horikita.

"Oh, yeah ... Good morning."

Horikita might have felt that Hirata is currently blinded and shaken.

"I suppose you didn't make any mistakes in deciding for the class vote."

"... Is that so? "

"But - you did not make the wrong choice. No, it must be said that what you did was correct."

He doesn't have to accept it.

But now, he had already accepted it in his heart.

"I didn't notice this at the time."

"Did you hit your head? Your mindset has changed a lot today compared to yesterday. I don't

think you're bluffing ... "

Even if Hirata was suspected by Horikita, he only showed a smile to her.

"I will try my best to regain my lost confidence. After that, please tell me all the details of this

special exam."

"I understand. Including reasons for understanding the situation, I want to test whether or not

you can really play a role. Is that fine?"

"Yes. Of course."

Hirata reached out his hand. Horikita accepted this handshake for reconciliation.

After that, Hirata was once again surrounded by his classmates. A few minutes ago, the

atmosphere in the class was still very gloomy. They did not expect the class to be suddenly filled

with a bright and cheerful atmosphere. It was hard to imagine.

"In short, you can finally help out with the special exam."

"Yes."

Hirata's return was most impactful for Class C.

Koenji as usual, showed no signs of change.
