Memories from childhood

We left the annex and headed for the gate, where the headman was already waiting for us.

What kind of people, Yuki, it's been a while since I've seen you.

I've already hooked up with someone, I see how fast you are, however.

No, I'm not like that, this is my former childhood friend.

Well, well, whatever you say.

And who are you actually waiting for here?

You of course!

Tell me, how did you get settled, Yuki?

Settled down quite well

Of course, not everything went like clockwork, if someone finds out about some things, it will not be very good.

Basically good.

It's good that you're doing well.

Well, in any case, I will have a small request for you.

As you probably already know, I have a sister, Mina.

She asked me to help her, but you yourself understand that I don't have time, since you owe me, I will ask you to help her.

Well, we were kind of going for a walk and it's unlikely that we're on our way.

After all, I am the headman and the issue is not discussed.

Okay, what should I do, where is she?

You've probably already been in the academic building where the event took place on the first day, it's in the same building on the second floor.

Office 205, she is preparing for the new academic year there, she needs help with this.

Questions?

Yes, in principle everything is clear, but I would not really like to do it, and as you can see I am not alone, I would still refuse.

It's not up for discussion, help me.

Well, what should I do with a friend?

I'm not going to drag her around all these places and force her to help me, am I?

I don't mind.

Well, you see, She doesn't mind, respectively, and there is no problem.

Okay, okay, since everything is for that, I don't have much choice, so I'll help.

Thank you Yuki!

Second floor 205 room don't forget.

Yes, I remember, I remember I'm not deaf.

Good luck and thank you in advance for everything.

Gritting my teeth, I headed with Mizuha to the academic building.

This actually happens in any school or academy.

It is standard practice to contradict, and it is unlikely to be appropriate to refuse, but it will be more expensive for yourself.

Are you sure you don't mind Mizuha?

No need to force yourself!

No, I don't mind, in any case I won't be alone and I won't get bored, she said with a smile.

We headed to the training building since we were actually at the main gate, we had to walk very close.

We entered the academic building and headed for the elevator.

Listen, you've gotten older than Yuki!

Similarly, it's been so many years, I couldn't stay the same.

That's right!

Why and why did you come here at all?

Well, we moved to Kanto, where I graduated from high school.

It was decided that I would enter this academy, they were not interested in my opinion, and so I entered and am now here.

What a familiar story.

What did you do here?

About the same way, as you know, our situation was not the best.

And I didn't have much choice, they paid well here, it was easy to find a job after studying here.

So I didn't have to choose more pros than cons.

Well, I didn't know all this, I hope you're right.

Of course, if I didn't know that, I wouldn't have told you that.

What a serious Yuki you are!

Well, what is what is.

It was still uncomfortable for me to talk, because I could get attached to her again.

After all, if history repeats itself again, I'm afraid this time I won't survive it.

The elevator arrived, we entered it and quietly climbed to the second floor.

Coming out of the elevator, there were doors with letters on the sides, based on the fact that it was written 1A 1B 1C and so on, I concluded that these were some classes, also each letter had a number, you didn't need to be very smart to understand that 205 is a 1F class.

Maybe that's why she asked me, but it turns out that most likely the sister she was talking about will also study in this class, I wonder who she is.

Listen, Mizuha, what class have you been assigned to?

Class 1F.

An amazing coincidence, I thought childhood friends and again in the same class, I don't know if it's good or bad, time will actually show.

Yes, I'm also from 1F.

That's great, we will have even more time to correct the mistakes of the past!

Of course, she was right about that, we will have plenty of time, about five years.

We headed to the classroom, fortunately, we had to walk very close from the elevator.

When I entered the classroom, I noticed a girl I already knew.

It was Mina the last thing I expected to see reluctantly to be honest, I'm probably not even completely surprised because the name of the headman and her name were very similar.

The headman seemed to be saying something like that at the gate.

We came to help, the head of the student council asked us.

Yes, of course you need to help with the arrangement, or to be more precise, transfer these papers.

There are a lot of them, I would do it alone for a long time.

But I asked one person, and two of you came.

So it happened.

And what's most offensive is that you came.

Of course I understand everything, but I would like to see you least of all.

Wasn't it enough for you what you did this morning or on the first day?

Why did you, why did my sister send you?

I would be glad to see almost anyone but you.

There was nothing about the first day!

Yes, yes, so I'll believe you!

What is she talking about?

Mizuha asked in surprise

Oh, nothing, I replied, blushing.

Well, you see, you blushed, so you were definitely doing something.

I didn't do anything, you're making me blush!

Are you saying that everything that happened this morning was an accident?

That's exactly what I want to say!

Do you even know what you're saying?

Will anyone believe you?

Two incidents of this level in just three days, there are no such coincidences!

It was difficult to argue with her, because in fact such coincidences are rare if at all

Sorry again, it's just a coincidence, nothing personal!

I'm not sorry!

If you want to get my apologies, come to the park for the Academy at seven in the evening.

We'll talk there.

What are you talking about, what coincidences?

Forget anything important.

Tell me, I need to know!

Believe me, you don't want to know.

Yes, and I don't want to tell it, these are very bad coincidences.

Well, okay, but if you're ready to tell me something, I live in the same apartment with Mina.

So a neighbor.

Exactly, and which one are you in?

At 45.

And really very close!

This is even more depressing!

Mina said menacingly

Anyway, once you've come, help, and we'll talk to you a little later.

That's right, we didn't come here to sort things out.

Mina, this is our class, as I understand it?

You understand everything correctly, pervert, in four days this class will become your main place of daytime habitation, as well as in principle many others.

There are sixteen classrooms on each floor, but in principle, you probably already guessed it yourself.

Yes, I think it's obvious, but I had to clarify.

The principal's and teachers' classroom is on the seventh floor.

Just in case you don't ask.

We need to take these papers there.

The student council is located on the same floor.

Actually, they should be taken to the student council.

So take as much as you can carry, and I'll walk you out, I think we'll manage in a couple of times.

We took the papers and headed for the elevator.

After waiting a little for the elevator, we went up to the floor we needed.

This floor was different from the previous one for the better.

This way, she said, pointing to the office in the center.

We went into it, it was not locked.

Put it here!

We already knew each other, albeit informally, at least I know her name and what she does.

It was the same girl who performed on stage.

Yuki, so that's what you look like, interesting.

Yes, nothing is ordinary, an ordinary guy, like everyone else.

Don't be modest!

That's the only thing I wouldn't argue with.

Put it here.

That's what we did.

Bring the rest of the papers and you can be free.

So we did, went back down to the second floor, took more piles of papers and took them back to the student council.

Fortunately for me, we managed it in two passes.

Thanks.

A little tedious...

Agree

Don't forget Yuki!

I'll be waiting for you at seven sharp, behind the academy in the park.

Yes, I remember, I remember, everything is fine with my memory.

Well, that's fine and we'll talk there.

Well, let's take a walk, as Mizuha wanted?

Anyway, I wanted to eat and in any case I would have to go to the city because it's not dinner time yet.

Although the time has almost come.

Yes, I'm not against it, only for it.

We resolved this issue and left the academic building.

We reached the gate without incident and headed for the main square.

It was decided to go to a cafe.

So we did and went to the nearest cafe.

A pleasant-looking waitress came up to us and asked what we wanted to order.

Mizuha ordered ice cream and coffee.

Well, why not, it's the same for me.

I haven't tried ice cream yet, somehow I didn't feel like eating too much.

Wait a bit, I'll bring everything soon.

Yes, of course, thank you.

So tell me, what has happened to you in recent years?

After all, I wasn't there, I don't know anything about what happened to you in recent years.

It's true, of course, but is it worth telling her.

Are you sure you want to know?

I wouldn't really want to tell you that.

Yes, I want to know.

Please tell me everything

This did not increase the desire.

But it's hard to refuse a girl who asks so much.

After your departure, everything was not the same as before.

I became depressed and pulled away from everyone, stopped communicating with all my old friends.

No wonder, because I only talked to them because of her, because if you think about it, they weren't my friends.

After you left, everything went awry, even our tree faded away.

I just had no desire to take care of him, you disappeared.

This tree served only as a reminder of our separation.

Tell me, why didn't you tell me anything after all?

You could have said you were leaving, not just leaving!

Everything happened fast enough, I didn't have time to tell you that.

My mother got sick, she needed to have an operation urgently, no one would have left me here alone.

To be honest, I wasn't even up to it somehow.

Since the thought that I might lose her did not give me peace of mind, perhaps I was selfish because I only needed to say a couple of words and explain everything as it is, but I felt that it was not worth doing.

It really sounded like the speech of a complete egoist, but the reason was still quite weighty, I can understand it

I hope it won't happen again, I can't bear it a second time.

Anyway, we will still be here for five years, there is time to think about all this and clarify our relations.

I'm sorry, of course, but I can't completely trust you after what happened, and I also can't forget everything that you did.

Of course, there are a lot of memories, and I don't want to forget them.

It's a pity the tree, we've been taking care of it for four years, and you just started everything, maybe we should plant a new one?

Maybe you're right.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you and just quit for you, too, was important!

Well, at least something.

Forgive me! Forgive me! For everything!

She burst into tears.

I didn't mean to hurt you!

I'm really sorry, Yuki!

To look at her was unbearable for such a beautiful girl, such ugly tears.

I hugged her and tried to comfort her.

Don't leave me, and you!

I don't want a repeat of past events!

Your order.

The waitress put our orders on the table and left.

She wiped her tears and, as if nothing had happened, began to eat the cake.

It looked nice enough, I didn't want to get mad at her at all.

The cake really turned out to be quite tasty, at least the chocolate on it pleased my eye.

After finishing the cakes, after drinking coffee, I went to the bathroom, when she returned, she also finished her own.

We sat down and chatted a little more

Listen, how are you connected with Mina?

I saved her on the first day.

She fainted in the sun, I took her to the infirmary, but she fancied a little and thought that I was harassing her.

That's how I'll talk to her and try to explain that you didn't do anything like that, knowing you, it's unlikely that you are capable of such a thing

It's insulting, but she's right, I would hardly do something like that.

Well, shall we go back?

She smiled.

Yes, I think it's already late and I didn't want to be late for a meeting with a mean girl somehow.

While we were walking back, we talked a little and chatted on various topics.
