Chapter 49

'If you feel like crying, cry between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.'

Miho shut his eyes and opened them again. They felt hot, but no tears came out. Myohan could have just told him he could cry if he wanted, but he even picked the right time for him? It was really hard to know him.

'You may cry during that time.'

However, his voice was too kind. He even gave him permission, as if he knew why he couldn't cry. Miho closed and opened his eyes once more. He had made a promise only a while ago. Well, it had been more of a demand, but still….

"I promised to be at school…"

"So you do remember."

He heard a familiar voice. He flinched and turned back slowly. Myohan was standing there, wearing his school uniform properly, which he never did. He was even wearing the jacket. He was leaning against a wall with his hands in his pocket. He checked time and sighed.

"Five minutes left, Miho."
