Love Story in College
Chapter 15
Looks like Kouko finally caught a cold after the drinking party in Banri's room.
On the morning after the day that everyone slept, at 7 am, with all the men still sleeping, snoring, Banri was awakened by Chinami.
He remembered Chinami shaking her shoulder when she was still in a half-dream state, opening her eyes to see the woman crouching beside him and peering down at her sleeping face, who then said, "Kaga-san and I will return first", which Banri nodded and muttered something vague along Kouko's message line then as she waved.
Some time later, Banri awakens completely and, "as I expect from the girls", is a thought that welcomes him. Kouko and Chinami wash, collect the trash into the trash bag, and with that, return the order to the room.
It was around nine when Yanagisawa and 2D-kun were awakened, he thought. Yanagisawa really spent some time throwing away her trash, and in the end, the three men skipped school, hung out and spent the rest of the day in lethargy.
A message from Kouko comes in the evening, and Banri finds out that he caught a cold. And because Kouko said she wasn't feeling well, they couldn't meet up and spend the weekend together, something that's been a routine since they started dating. He did not call back even after losing his call, or send a message back, but, thinking that it was not good to continue interrupting his break, he left a voicemail and left it alone after that.
Banri feels very responsible. Since he was the organizer of the drinking party, it was his room where they were hanging out, which was probably a bit cold in the middle of the night when the wind came in.
And thus, the week passed and it was Monday.
The long-awaited training day of the Festival-Research club.
Banri sends a letter asking, "Are you coming today?", but there is no answer, and he concludes that Kouko still remained in bed that day.
Therefore, during the day, he was surprised to see Kouko at the usual meeting place, the district facility's training room.
"Huh? I thought you were resting at home."
Hearing the voice of Banri, who had just finished changing Gentlemen, Kouko turned sharply. He was wearing a white T-shirt and regular jersey pants. The clothes were almost the same as the other upperclassmen girls.
"Are you feeling all right? You got a really bad flu, didn't you?"
"……"
He nodded slowly.
He has a hair tie in his mouth. He then busied himself by throwing his long hair back with both hands, twisting his hair, then wrapping it into a well-rolled bundle.
Considering that we haven't seen each other in quite some time, she's surprisingly cold, huh?, thought Banri when she peeked into Kouko's white face.
"Why?", asked Kouko after tying her hair beautifully, like magic, with one wave. That smiling face. The perfect Kaga Kouko smile.
Even though he didn't seem completely different, it felt like he had become very distant.
Just as he wanted to take a closer look at her,
"Wow, Kaga-chan, those very skilled hairs!"
"How did you do it? Can I also do it with my hair length?"
The upperclassmen came with their hairbrushes and hairbands, and Banri was ultimately unable to say anything. In low spirits, he could only extract himself from the female formation.
Linda's not seen yet.
"On Banri ~ i, you didn't show up recently, did you?"
One of the upperclassmen suddenly rubbed Banri's butt from behind. Hi, Banri jumped up, and to avoid exposing his back, he turned to dodge by making wide circular steps, just like sumo wrestlers do. However,
"Hey, I'm really sorry! A lot happened and .... more importantly, can you stop that!"
"Oh oh, he refused!"
"I heard you've been arrogant lately!"
Another upperclassman came, slapped his ass, and tickled the sides, so Banri went "Eeyhiyhiy" and ran trying to escape. The number of bullying upperclassmen increased to three, then four, with the only new students naturally equaling their toys.
"If it's about the drinking party incident a few days ago, haven't I apologized !?"
In connection with the incident Banri left the club drinking party, which even attended 4 years, in front of the others, he had already received a pardon on the grounds that he was not feeling well, but, he was,
"It's not about that!"
"It looks like you're actually dating our little golden robo-tan, don't you !?"
"We saw you holding hands yesterday, my goodness!
"Damn you, didn't you say that you're just a friend !?"
The intense tickling caused Banri to lie down on the floor, unable to even breathe. Even when Banri tried to shout, Why are you still acting like children your age!?, the hands that attacked him did not recede. With everyone leaning on her and slapping her with a towel, she felt that if this continued, even her t-shirt would be removed immediately. Gyaa. While shouting, without thinking, Banri turned his eyes to Kouko for help.
Kouko stood up straight.
With his feet planted somewhere in the middle of the training room, his face looked as if his soul had been plucked from it.
It was not that he was talking to the other upperclassmen, nor did he see Banri who was shouting; his big eyes were only open and empty, not paying attention to his surroundings. For some reason, he ended up quickly cancelling the hairdo he had worked so hard to fix before. He shook his head two, three times, combed his hair back, and stared at the door with empty eyes. Both a dazed expression on his face, and his overly pale and white face looked unusual.
While still being pinned down by his upperclassman, Banri cannot take his eyes off Kouko. Is he still feverish? Does he feel okay?
Wanting to talk to him, he desperately tried to get up and at that moment,
"Well, time to gather! What are you doing!"
The door opened and a third-grade senior appeared. Linda also came along with the upperclassmen,
"Hey !? Who's bluffing Banri!"
Expelling those who had shot at Banri, Linda grabbed his hand and pulled him. Give it strength, then let go of that hand, bishi!, with the two almost synchronized. They smiled at each other, face to face, a testament to their friendship. A sign of a secret relationship that they share and keep from the others. …… While there was no real need for them to keep it a secret, nor was there any real need to explain everything from the start, was what Banri thought.
Eventually saved, Banri searches for Kouko with his eyes, but a crowd of club members prevents him from doing so.
The third year brought a number of cardboard boxes that looked heavy and put them on the floor.
"This is for the men! That's for the girls! Open them and take each one!"
The third year instructs club members to open the box.
After opening the boxes, inside were worn-out clogs and gauze hats [2] for the girls. All of them had the names of other universities written with markers, and while Kosshi-senpai shared them one by one, she said, while,
"All of these were lent to us, so please make sure not to lose them! And take care of them properly!"
Okay fine! Joy cannot be contained in low-pitched replies.
Right. Coming next month, it will finally be the club dance debut of the Awa Research Festival.
Even when it was referred to as a debut, it was more like it was just a matter of mingling with the Swamp-dance group of another university, called Ren's group [3], and it was more like a matter of mingling with the Swamp-dance group of another university, called Ren's group [3], to participate as a dancer in a dance procession that relies on large numbers, but still, debut is a debut. Everyone would dance in a motorcade along the commercial district in the middle of the day.
"We don't have musical instruments or lanterns. Well, you'll get used to it."
Here, Banri was also given a pair of geta-clogs, which had a rich wood color, and a dark blue rope. While it is somewhat unfortunate that geta-clogs are tainted with markers inscribed with 'M' that seem to indicate their size, they are lighter than they appear, and although they look worn, they do not, they have a beautiful luster to them and are not dirty in the slightest.
Sliding his legs into the prepared socks, and putting the Ya-No fan into his t-shirt pants, Banri tries to put on the geta clog.
They are very tall and their legs are unstable. He tried leaning in and advancing his weight, and,
"…… uwah ……"
Gah-kuh, he almost fell forward.
Are we really going to dance with this? With his gaze lifted, he looked around doubtfully. "We'll look pretty uncool if we fall." "My legs are hurting." The upperclassmen also expressed their insecurities.
Is Kouko okay, when she turns to look, the girls have a hard time just wearing their gauze hats. Binding the red rope around their chins and wearing hats at an angle to cover their faces, they began to mutter among themselves, "Is it okay like this? Can't see what's ahead?", "Isn't this bigger than the one we borrowed last time? "
Which reminds me, didn't the upperclassman wear a dance-awa outfit during orientation day? In his mind, Banri recalls the memory of an intense and busy spring. A day of cherry blossoms, and a rain of confetti. The rustling sound of the American football club, the hard behavior of the pro-Wrestling club, the thighs of the cheerleaders, sambas from the orchestra, and also — Linda's bright lips.
I wonder what Linda thought when she happened to me that day? The sudden desire to ask Linda about it came to Banri's mind.
The girls in the practice room wore collected gauze hats and all wore the same T-shirts. With only many lips split into smiles, just from a single glance, he could no longer distinguish one from the other.
"Let's form a line and start practicing to try to get used to this."
On the orders of the upperclassmen, everyone lined up to form a circle. Then, each of them wiggled on their feet, “one, two, go!”, On that signal, with unsteady steps, the circle began to 'glide' out to the outer limits of the training room.
With a "yoh", Banri also raised both hands, and stepped in with big strides as he was taught.
"…… oooh ...... whoops !?"
His momentum caused him to pitch forward and he was only a step away from falling. "Hey, just watch!", his upperclassman immediately laughed from behind, which he somehow managed to reply, "I'm fine!".
In order not to stop the 'slide', he took a step forward. In order to prevent himself from falling shamefully, eventually, he lowered his hips and was in an unstable position, it was difficult for him to notice his movements consciously. On top of all that, the geta-tray strap was a little painful to the gap between his toes.
Even so, perhaps due to the difference in experience, the upperclassmen began to descend to form, and walked while dancing at a comfortable pace. With a somewhat dispirited look, Banri continued to follow them. 'Slide' with them, as the rhythm flows.
At that moment, he realizes that Kouko does not exist. His characteristic rigid movements were invisible.
"Huh? Kaga-san is? Where is he?"
When he looked around,
"Eh? I'm right here."
Right before him, a girl, with a gauze hat worn, whose face she could not say turned around and waved at him with one hand. On another look at the face under that slightly raised gauze hat, it did indeed belong to Kouko,
"In addition ...... aren't you used to this !?"
Surprised, Banri raised his voice without thinking. The other upperclassmen also realized that the truth and their legs stopped when they turned around.
Everyone has stiff movements due to the unusual clogs they wear, hiding their faces in gauze hats, wearing similar T-shirts and similar pants. Inside this circle where each individual's hairstyle was even indistinguishable, Kouko had danced 'normal'. Without being called the golden robot, erh, C-3PO, in ridicule, he completely wiped his presence amidst this crowd of faceless dancers.
Orh! coming from somewhere, accompanied by applause, Kouko's face flushed under her gauze hat.
"It looks like we're okay, right?"
"All right, let's go a little bit forward."
Sisters, musical instruments for the exercises are added and the exercises resumed. The steps taken by the geta-clogs came together, and as a result of the synchronized dance, the members continued to advance, drawing circles as they swayed in rows. Although the AC was supposed to be turned on, today was a sultry day, and in an instant, Banri's neck was covered in sweat.
But even so, he continued to move forward, aligned with his upperclassmen, right, left, right, left. He took as big a step as he could, wagging his hands, slowly advancing his feet wrapped in foreign clogs. Tada, your hips, your hips, she said, and she consciously lowered her swinging hips, being careful not to fall. But he had to take a bigger step, a lighter step. More masculine, more dynamic.
When a certain gap opened between the members, before long, the line stopped.
As a result of advancing the line at one time, one corner of the dancer bathed in sweat has become a whirlpool. Everyone's faces were flushed red from the heat, breathing slightly, slowing down their steps and passing each other in turn.
"Fun, right?"
Someone's hoarse voice sounded in Banri's ears.
"Yes, that's fun."
Answering, he felt the presence of the girl who was the owner of the power-hat right beside him. She hasn't looked him in the face yet, but, is that Kouko?, thought Banri.
Their breaths become heavy, and both of their body temperatures are hot because they are close together.
Their pinkies touch each other accidentally. A current might flow through them, he thought. Banri's eyes were closed due to the heat. His heart stopped for a few seconds.
He twirled his pinky around hers, at the risk that his heart might stop permanently.
His seemingly strained heart was pumped at an abnormal speed into his chest.
The temperature of the detached finger, which looked hot, left Banri's body paralyzed. Gasping for breath, he gasped a few times like a wild beast.
Once again, he stepped out, with both of his hands raised. The rhythm of the instrument hit his skin.
Bitter it — fever 『Cinta』 blinds the eyes of this dancing body.
* * *
* * *
The exercise, which lasted more than two hours, ended,
"Kaga-san, what are you doing later? A lecture?"
Deray, a drop of water hit his nose.
Uwah, exclaimed Banri, who then looked up at the sky. More large droplets fell, hitting his face.
Although the sky had been covered in many clouds since morning and it looked as if it could rain at any time, according to the weather forecast report, the sky should only fall at night. He did not bring an umbrella.
Suddenly the sky darkened, and the air was enveloped by the scent of dusty rain. The black patches started to increase in number on the street, and the people walking on the street started running. About half of the people are preparing to gradually open their foldable, or vinyl, umbrellas.
Before long, the sound of rain became deafening.
Banri, who had taken root in his place, was shocked by the sudden increase in rain, nor could he bear it anymore, either,
"Damn it, let's go somewhere with shelter!"
When he wants to run away with Kouko, he,
"……"
Kouko looked at Banri's face in a daze, without moving her legs.
Rain drops fell on his face and cheeks.
"What are you doing? Come on!"
He took his things with his left hand, and grabbed his hand with his right hand. When she pulls Kouko, she also starts running, and for now, the two of them escape to the edge of the roof of a stationery shop whose doors are closed.
And around the same time, Zahh, a loud noise was heard, and the rain suddenly became heavy. It was raining heavily.
With droplets forming like white smoke on the legs, employees could use briefcases or newspapers to cover their heads, running; high school girls from nearby private schools shouted, "Kyaaaaa!", and for some reason laughing out loud, then the masses of them ran along the road leading to the station.
Banri rubbed his face, and looked down with disdain at his wet jeans.
"It was raining a lot …! Should we buy an umbrella?"
Kouko was of course drenched as well. Her chiffon blouse sleeves could be seen, revealing clinging skin, and her calf leather bag, which looked branded, did not escape the pitiful spotting. Geez, Banri combed her cold, wet hair.
"I'm sure they're selling umbrellas around here. I will run to the convenience store and buy it for you too, Kaga-san. It would be terrible if your floss got worse."
And then, he noticed.
From the side view of Kouko, who had remained silent, this was the first time she had seen him so stiff. Without wiping away the droplets from her wet cheeks, and with wet hair continuously stuck in front of her nose, she stood beside Banri, holding her breath.
He peered at Kouko's face anxiously, but he didn't so much to avert his eyes. Hellooo, Banri waved his hand, and finally, he looked at her, but without a smile on his face.
His empty appearance was just wavering.
The air that was humidified by the rain was filled with a thick rose scent. Kouko, who was there, was so calm that her existence seemed uncertain, and it wouldn't be surprising if she just disappeared like that. The sound of rain washed away everything, giving the feeling that everything was 「batal」.
He's definitely not normal. Somewhere, with the unwise Banri, Kouko changes her mind.
"Kaga-san, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
"……"
With soulless eyes and an expressionless face, Kouko blinked a few times. Without rest, raindrops flowed from the end of her long lashes. Droplets and droplets, flowing nonstop. Then,
"…… Do you like me?"
She asked. Suddenly.
Uh?, give Banri back without thinking.
"W-What are you saying? …… why? Of course I like you."
Even with his answer, Kouko's expression did not change. Without combing her drenched hair, Kouko only breathed softly. His slender shoulders that could be seen through the translucent clothes attached to them, trembled.
Then, he grabbed Banri's hand. His fingers were wet, cold and weak, lacking any strength to do so.
"…… really?"
He tilted his head slightly, and droplets rolled from the tip of his chin.
"Do you really like me?"
His wobbly gaze urged.
Without saying a word, something inside Banri …
Feeling wrong, and his heart racing. He had no idea what caused Kouko to act like this. But, something has happened.
"Why are you asking me this now? Didn't I tell you that I like you? …… Or is that what Oka-chan said the other day bothered you? That I envy Yana-ssan, are you really worried about that? If that's the case, there's no need. "
Shaking his head to the side, Kouko may not have heard what Banri said. With eyes conveying that it didn't matter what he said, he kept asking.
"Are you, like me ……? When will you stop liking me? What would make you hate me? When will you stop needing me? …… Am I upset by saying these things?"
— yes.
If he answered with that, Koukou would probably cry.
But, he wanted to tell her that more. That incomprehensible ceaseless urge made him feel as if he was being made a bad person here. What would make you hate me? When will you stop needing me? Am I annoying? He had never said any of that, as he cried out in a loud voice. Where did Kouko feel like a victim? Why did he start acting in such a manner all of a sudden?
Since he didn't know, What's wrong?, he asked but still, he couldn't make any progress with Kouko never answering his question, while he kept asking with one side.
Even when he clearly said, I like you, those words don't seem to reach Kouko.
Even when he clearly said, I like you, those words don't seem to reach Kouko.
She feels futility, anger, and heartache towards that — maybe she really thinks that a man would not feel such emotions?
"I mean, seriously ...... What's wrong with you?"
"…… do you, still ...... like me?"
Will he continue?
"…… as I told you! I don't get it! Seriously, what's wrong with you all of a sudden! Did I do something to you, Kaga-san !?"
He came back with a voice that, no softer than a torrential rain, might feel a little strong. Kouko vibrates.
"…… but ……"
He frantically looked into Banri's eyes. Later,
"I feel restless. .... and afraid. I keep thinking unpleasant things. …… I don't want to be like this either. I want to always stay adorable in front." You, Tada-kun. But, no matter how I try ……! No matter what I do, I still feel uncomfortable …… "
Her pretty face is wrinkled. His breathing became short and was followed by the sound of crying.
"…… eeh ……?"
What is it about me that makes him feel uncomfortable, I wonder? — Banri searches hard inside him, on the words he says and how he has acted. Even so, he couldn't figure it out. She only knew that Kouko was crying before her eyes. His face from his throat to his forehead flushed red, and with one hand covering his eyes, he sobbed.
Banri could not bear to hear that voice.
"…… sorry. I'm sorry, ok? Kaga-san's chat. Sorry, sorry. Really."
I panicked and peered into his face. If anything, Banri is weak to the sound of Kouko's crying. Anger, pride, fatigue, all of those things peeled off too quickly, leaving Banri as if he was stark naked. He couldn't stand it. Hugely.
Compared to any harsh words, being beaten and kicked, or hacked, a drop of Kouko's tears were much more painful to Banri's heart.
Perfect happiness is more suited to Kouko. That is what Banri believed in his heart.
Therefore, he wanted to give it away just like that.
He wanted to wrap it up in perfect happiness. He didn't want to show her anything but that. Things like sadness, pain, bitterness, restlessness, worry; he wanted to eliminate all those things from his world. Pure and perfect, enchanting and beautiful. A weak treasure. Because it's Kaga Kouko.
He just wants to order all the things from this world that are compatible with Kouko.
"It's all my fault. Sorry."
If it was for Kouko, she was willing to cover herself with any kind of mud.
If it was to protect him, then, he was willing to take all sorts of dirty, cold, sad or unpleasant things.
Like a shield, Banri hugged Kouko's body which had turned cold, and stared at the raining sky. The low round layer and the silver layer were dull, thick clouds could be seen. This rain may continue. Perhaps, as a result of the shower blocking the path of many people on foot, before he realized, the flow of people had stopped.
"Nobody feels uncomfortable. Because you have nothing to worry about. Everything's fine. Perfect."
With his face stuck to Banri's chest, Kouko was still crying.
Rubbing her shoulders up like a child, Banri stroked her wet hair, and tried to whisper to her.
"…… Need a pretty guy?"
Kouko's back is shaking. Little laughter seemed to have escaped him. The sound of laughter mixed with his sobs. I didn't need that ...., came her faint voice that seemed to be tinged with anger.
Deep down, Banri was relieved.
Because he really didn't want to be hated by her. It is just a matter of evolving reality. The time they spent together was more fun and loving than anything else, and he obviously didn't want to let go of that. He wants to be with Kaga Kouko forever, forever.
He wants to be confused, disturbed, by his turbulent and incomprehensible nature.
Banri once again applies his powers to embrace Kouko's body. He really wanted her to stop crying. To stop hating him. To be with. To feel safe with him. To stop being afraid. Trust her. Being happy. He never even thought that Kouko's doubtful 「Dia」 was in him.
From the bottom of his heart, no matter what happened to him.
No problem at all. Hugely.
All for the sake of Kaga Kouko's happiness. That's enough. He doesn't want anything else. Whether he would like a man who has no mind of his own, he wondered.
Filtered by the sound of rain, hidden on the edge of the roof, Banri gradually crouched down, and in a scooping manner, he carefully kissed Kouko. Kouko's body just stiffened, and she didn't say anything.
They come into contact with their warm body temperature.
It was as if all the boundaries disappeared, before long, both of them melted. Intense spasms flowed through their spines to their necks. The overwhelming sensitivity seeps into the cells throughout their bodies. Their entire nervous system is short-circuited.
Their minds may even be connected. The sound of crackling and numb sparks might echo even in Kouko's ears.
There's nothing else. Maybe this is all there is to live. If he took off his pressing lips, and opened his worthless eyes, what kind of end of the world would it be, Banri wondered.
* * *
— I slowly opened my eyes.
Banri's room was pitch black, and from the outside of the window, the city was still shrouded in the darkness of night.
I wonder why I wake up at an hour like this. First of all, it's weird that people die like I sleep.
As I sat down, I felt an even stronger discomfort.
Banri, who is always by my side, is not here. That Tada Banri, who is good and alive, who I have been watching over all this time, is not here. There's nowhere to look. Where is he? When I try to stand up,
"…… ugh ……!"
The terrible headache made me feel dizzy.
"…… ugh ……!"
The terrible headache made me feel dizzy.
My knees, without strength, gave up, and I squatted on the bed.
Touch sheets. A towel blanket was stuck to my cheek. The bed was creaking under my weight. The rest of my own scent on the pillow. Something has gone wrong. Something, must be wrong.
I propped myself up, tried to get out of bed for now, and finally fell to the ground. 'The loud 'thud' resounded. As if a burden had been attached to my body, my arms and legs could not move properly. It was even difficult to support my heavy head with my neck, and my forehead touched the floor several times.
I stretched out my trembling hand, holding it in the dark night.
Impossible.
How come?
Wh why?
Looking at the wall-mounted full-length mirror, it reflects the figure of Tada Banri — I — lying on the floor. With thick standing hair, and eyes wide open, I stared back at me who was in the mirror.
That's my own face.
Quarry.
"…… uwu, .... ah ……"
The one who lives is me.
I got my life back, my body. Once I realized this, I carelessly applied my strength and got up. I put my hand against the wall and leaned my weight forward. While swaying, I took one step.
There are places I need to visit. I have to go there. Quickly, without hesitation,
"Linda ……!"
I just called someone's name.
I always, always and always, always,
"…… Linda ……!"
I always wanted to rush to your side. I want to go back. I want to keep my promise.
I moved my feet in haste, cheerfully calling out Linda's name, and after taking a few steps across the room, just as I was about to run through the door. At that moment, my feet stepped on something. As my body floated in the air from the momentum of my dashboard, 『my feet swept』; it was the only strange phrase that had been on my mind,
— he slowly opened his eyes. Once more.
The hot taste of his blood iron spread to the inside of his mouth, and after searching with his tongue, it seemed like the inside of his lips had been cut deeply on the front of his teeth for some reason.
An uncomfortable open wound throbbed, and his upper lip was covered with an unpleasant warmth. As he wiped with the back of his hand, there was a slimy and unpleasant feeling. His blood might even droop to the chin.
He hit his face on the floor. Thank goodness I didn't break my teeth, maybe that kind of carefree thought proves that he's still half asleep, maybe.
The sandals he bought for Kouko were upside down on the floor. My ugly fall may have been a consequence of stepping on him, he thought.
His heartbeat seemed to scream out of sadness. It throbbed intensely to the point of pain, and Banri subconsciously pressed both his hands against his chest, unable to bear the agony.
I want to go back.
Linda.
With the shadow of that shadow clearly etched into his mind.
Linda, Linda, Linda — she can remember those cries as well.
And now, he was sitting on the floor.
That is the past, no, he is the truth, Banri thought. He might have to see a doctor. When morning came, he had to pick up the phone, call his parents and tell them what happened, then return to Shizuoka, and go check in at the hospital he frequented, and then ...... where should he go from there?
What would happen if he recovered?
What would happen to him if that happened? He wonders. What will happen to this body?
Covering his mouth, Banri crawled back to the center of the room. The middle of the DIY bookcase that he used as a bookcase.
He wants to see his face. The smiling face of the man next to Linda. He could no longer know who he really was. That is why he wants to make sure if he is a different person to his eyes, Banri thought. But, he's conscious.
"…… huh ……?"
The photo that should have been here was not found. It disappeared without him noticing. Disappear. It was as if it had never existed in the first place.
"…… Why ……? Why is it ……?"
Unable to bear with how the situation developed, he sat on the cold floor, with his slimy blood drooping from his mouth. Banri closed his eyes for now.
The next time he opened his eyes, no one would know if his same self still existed.
