Chapter 70 Don't Forget Your Guilt

Don’t Forget Your Guilt

Shinomiya Saya’s PoV

“Good morning again, Shinomiya-san. It’s a little warm today, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, good morning. So, what’s going on? Hiiragi-san.”

“Fufu. Please don’t be so cruel. Like I said, I just want to be friends with Shinomiya-san.”

Hiiragi Yoka is talking to me again today.

Today, yesterday, and the day before.

I don’t even know what to do. When I talk to Hiiragi Yoka before I know it, she has taken over the initiative of the conversation, and I often find myself being carried along at her pace.

“I see.”

“Yes. Well, it can’t be helped if Shinomiya-san is suspicious of me. Because I told Shinomiya-san ‘that’ when we first met. I will make up for it with my attitude from now on.”

She looks at me with a really apologetic face as she says that, and I almost feel sorry for her, but I face her with a strong feeling.

“No, I don’t mind. Besides, I used strong words for someone I had never met before too. I’m sorry for that.”

“Un, then let’s say we’re both sorry, shall we?”

Hiiragi-san smiled at me when I said that, so I smiled as much as I could.

Well, I’m sure Hiiragi-san can see through such a distorted smile.

“It’s okay.”

“Thank you. So…”

Just as Hiiragi-san was about to start talking again, the school bell rang.

“Well, that’s all for today. See you tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

Hiiragi-san waved and went back to her classroom.

I fell face down on my desk as I felt a rush of exhaustion.

Kanzaki Momoka’s PoV

“Now, the subject of this English sentence is…”

While listening to the English teacher’s explanation, I, Kanzaki Momoka, looked at Hiiragi Shuu-kun.

This morning, I wanted to apologize to him at the usual place, but he didn’t come at the usual time, and I went to school thinking that he was absent today, but he was studying in the classroom.

I’m not sure if he just happened to come in early today.

But… I can’t help but think that he was avoiding me on purpose.

…Well, I have no right to complain about it, so I can’t say that. It’s all my fault. I’m just grateful that he allowed me to apologize.

I’ve been lax lately; I need to tighten up. Don’t let time forgive me; don’t let me forget my guilt.
