I`d be lying if I said I wasn`t worried... But I shouldn`t worry. She has to do her best from now on. If she does, she`ll surely find some new friends at school.
"Are you listening?" To my surprise, Sunohara`s face suddenly appears in front of me.
"Eh?"
"I asked what you were going to do about the juice."
"Yeah, sorry... with katsudon."
"About the juice!"
"Well I`m hungry."
"I`m also hungry! But as I said, I don`t have any money."
"Just chop off your finger and beg `Please let me eat with this.`"
"I`m not going to do anything that crazy for katsudon!" Sunohara presses the button on the vending machine. I could hear the sound of the vending machineas it pours in the ice and juice in a paper cup.
"Hey, we can endure this longer with carbonic acid in our stomach."
"Tch, all right, fine..." I waste away my time in the cafeteria. After that, before it got dark, I head home. And just as always, I got my change of clothes and left the house.
As I came out from the dorm hallway and into the corridor, I was greeted by a stampede of huge bodies rushing along. Do do do do do do do...
"Woah..." I quickly dodge all of them as they pass by. They`re a group of rugby club members. All rushing to their respective rooms and quickly closing the doors.
"Hey-----!" Chasing after them is a woman.
"Sigh... Darn those guys..." She stops beside me. This is the dorm landlady, Sagara Misae.Even though I don`t live here, if you visit often enough you`ll surely be an acquaintance of hers, even if you don`t like it.
"Peeping in the girls` dormitory... Are they grade school students...? Sigh..." She lets out a deep sigh, and retraces her path.
I go inside Sunohara`s room, lie down on his bed and start reading some manga.
"Hey... Didn`t I tell you this afternoon not to come?"
"Don`t say such lonesome words, I want to read some manga. After that, you`ll be here too."
"Am I just an extra?"
"You really want me to read next to you."
"You`re putting some meaning about me being next to you, right?!"
Flip... "Hmm..."
"Suddenly going on Ignore Mode?!"
"What? You`re noisy..."
"Give that back, I still haven`t read it!"
"You`ve read this before. Here, bury yourself in this crossword puzzle. Do your best now."
"The answer can be found in the next issue your holding."
"That`s all right, I`ll check your answer. If it`s correct I`ll praise you. Good luck."
"Who do you think you are?!"
"Your master."
"What do you mean?!"
"You`re noisy! I can`t read peacefully!"
"Arggghhh! Why do I have to obey you!"
Dong! "Shut up and be quiet!"
"Eek!"An angry voice makes Sunohara shrink into the corner.
"See, if you don`t shut your mouth, you`ll be bagged again."
"You`re a demon! Damn it... I`ll do the crossword then."
"Tell me if I`m right, okay?"
"Yeah, I`ll tell you..."
"Well, 1-Down... What`s the day three days from New Year`s Day... Ahahaha... what a stupid question. Its three consecutive holidays..."
…. Teacher, teacher, there`s a stupid boy here.
"I give up, this is weird..."
"What is?"
"The answer doesn`t match up, there is definitely something wrong here." There`s no doubt it`s your answers that are wrong.
"I quit, give up! Damn, this is boring..." He throws the crossword puzzle at the corner of the room.
"There`s nothing interesting to do."
"I have an idea."
"What is it?"
"Yeah. Get naked, and go next door... Then ask if you can borrow some soy sauce. I wonder what kind of a response he will give you?"
"He`ll pound me!"
"No, you`re asking in a very polite manner."
"Hmm... you`re right... it`s hard to know if you ask it like that..."
"Right?"
"Now, off you go."
"Alright! Eh?! Isn`t this only interesting to you?!"
"Doesn`t that thrill you?"
"But the next day, I`ll be treated as a pervert!"
"Well... I wonder about that... They might worship you as a holy person."
"This will be a bad place."
"Like I said, let`s test it."
"No matter what you say, I won`t do it!"
"You sure have no confidence..."
"Why don`t you go?"
Flip the book "Hmm..."
"Pretty fast in going back to reading, huh?!"
"Huaaah... I want to sleep now. It`s already 3 o`clock in the morning."
"Hmm..." Flip...
"Are you staying over?"
"I`m turning off the lights then."
"Woah! Stop right there!"
"Eh?"
"I`m not staying..."
"Is that so."
"Well, I`m going to sleep, so can you please leave?"
"I will, even if you don`t say that..." I throw away the manga I was reading and stand up. I hold the door knob and was about to leave but I suddenly stop.
"Oh, that`s right, dead at night in this dorm..."
"What is it?"
"......(silence) I guess it`s nothing."
"Finish what you`re saying!"
"Good night then."I closed the door. I continue to hear someone moaning with fear inside the room. I ignore it and leave the dormitory.
