I was searching for the contact of Maegashira, who was one of my few male friends in this world, on my smartphone.Ā I felt a little lonely when I was reminded that there was only one male name in the address book on my smartphone.
It was a proof that I had not made any male friends yet even though I was enrolling in a co-ed High School.
Just getting along with girls a little doesnāt mean they have a problem with me ā¦ right ā¦?
Or, maybe there is a problem with me just that I donāt know about itā¦ No, no way right?
Finally I found Maegashiraās address that I was looking for, so I pressed the call button and the call rang.
If he doesnāt answer the call, Iāll send an e-mail ā¦
I was thinking what to do if Maegashira didnāt answer my callā¦
When I started to wonder if I should hung up, because there was no sign of Meagashira even though it was ringing more than 5 times already, the phone was picked up.
āā¦ā¦Helloā
However, the voice I heard from my smartphone was not the voice of Maegashira that I knew.Ā It was a calm voice and somewhat lower than what I remember.
I didnāt mishear it, right?
I was feeling uneasy for a moment, but since I had called Mageashira several times before, I thought that my guess couldnāt be wrong.
āAh, sorry, but itās Maegashiraās phone, right?ā
āYeah, itās Akihitoās smartphone. Just that Iām sorry, but heās away now.ā
āAh, I seeā¦ Then, Iāll call back later.ā
āā¦ Hmm, can you wait a bit?ā
The voice that I heard was sound young, so I thought that the person who answered the phone was probably an acquaintance of Maegashira from his school, and when I tried to hang up, I heard that he tried to stop meā¦
ā¦.I heard that, but I pretended I couldnāt hear it and hung up the phone.
ā¦ā¦ Huft.
Then I took a break.Ā Probably the person who answered the phone was the person form Maegashiraās schoolā¦, Seimei High. Ā It might be a senior in charge of education that I heard from himā¦ or it might be his friend.
But in any case, I donāt want to get involved too much!
I mean the impression of male students that study in Kenran High is not good in the eyes of Seimei High students, so I donāt know what he will say to me if I keep the call!
I thought to just send an e-mail to Maegashira, so I picked up my smartphone, but then my phone rang just right at that moment.
What was displayed on the screen was āAkihito Maegashiraā.
I was a little worried about answering the phone.Ā Normally, it should be Maegashira who heard the story from the person who answered my call earlierā¦Ā But, it also might be the person who answered earlier.
I was a little worried, butā¦ I decided to press the accept button.
āYouāre a little flustered thereā¦ā
I almost cut off the call after I heard the voice from the phone, but I managed to stop.
I mean, he says that Iām flusteredā¦.. Somehow, I get a little goose bump.
ā¦Well, I got a goose bumpā¦ā¦ so I decided to end the call after all.
Since I felt sick enough to get goose bumps, it canāt be helped, rightā¦?
However, He was such a person, the one who wouldnāt give up easily.
I got a call again.Ā I felt like there was no other choice, so I accepted the call.
āTo hang up the phone so suddenly, arenāt you bad?ā
āIām sorry, the signals are bad.ā
āIs thatā¦, so ā¦? If the signals are bad, it canāt be helped thenā¦..ā
ā¦ā¦ He may be unexpectedly an āeasyā guy.
āWell, you are the one who answered earlier, right? Do you need something?ā
I cut out the story so that it seemed I had not heard him when he tried to stop me from ending the call.
But, he didnāt answer my question.
āNo, well, what kind of relationship do you have with Akihito ā¦?ā
It was a question like when youāre doubting your loverās affair.
Please stop, donāt ask me something like thisā¦.
I mean, my voice is age-appropriate, it sound young, so I wonder, how can this guy hear that kind of voice and think that me and Maegashira have a relationship other than friendsā¦
āā¦I donāt know who you are, so Iām not going to answer that question.ā
āI se ā¦ā
I hung up before he could say anything.
Huft ā¦, Seimei High studentsā¦ theyāre more than I expectedā¦
I wiped the sweat off my forehead and took a breather.
ā¦ and my phone rang again.
Soć¼ć¼ć¼Ā persistentć¼ć¼ć¼!
I picked up the phone again.Ā And at the same timeā¦
āYouāre so persistent! You piece of s**t!ā
āI, Iām sorry ā¦ā
However, what I heard from the phone was my friendās voice.
āā¦ā¦Hmmm?ā
āUm ā¦ Iām sorry, did I bother you?ā
āAh, no, Iām sorry, Iām sorry. When I called your phone, the person who picked up the phone asked me about my relationship with you.ā
āI, Iām sorry, but Iām sure my seniors didnāt have bad intention when asking you that ā¦ Oh! The person who answered the phone is my senior who is in charge of my education. Heās a kind person who is very caring and tend to worry about other ā¦ ā
Maegashira explained to me about the person who answered before, his seniorā¦ā¦ He also began to talk about the appeal points about that senior of him.
But, Maegashiraā¦ Iām not really interested in that senior of yours.Ā Sorryā¦ā¦.
No matter how much there I want to add more male name in my smartphoneā address book, I would like to refrain from adding the previous person.
I tried to stop Maegashira who was enthusiastically talking about his senior and told him about the class reunion.
āClass reunion?ā
āYeah, it seems to be held soon, so how about it? do you plan to go?ā
āā¦ Is Hatano-kun going?ā
āYeah, Iām goingā
āOkay, Iāll go too! I wonāt let you go to meet a flock of hungry beasts alone!ā
This guyā¦ he always thinks that his classmates are a flock of hungry beasts when he was in Junior High School?
So, he was living with a great sense of crisis the whole time, huhā¦
