"Did you see a ghost or something, Akazawa?" Itsuki also asked, curious.
"Because I don't remember anything that's what makes me depressed, man!" Takumi spoke, looking a little sad. Takumi didn't know why his memory had become blurry like that.
Itsuki leaned over only to pat Takumi on the shoulder.
"Never mind, comrade! Don't think too much about it! That's why if you always satisfy your damn curiosity! After this, what else are you trying to do, huh?!"
"You mean?!" Takumi asked, confused. A frown was also etched on his forehead.
"Itsuki-kun's point is are you going to investigate all the rumors that are spreading in our school, Taku-chan? You really are a very understaffed young man."
"Hahaha, you're right, Riku! I'll bet this Takumi Akazawa really aspires to be a detective. He's obsessed with curious things.
"Wow ... you're right, Itsuki-kun! I also heard rumors that the rooftop of our school building is also a portal to another world. Is Taku-chan going to investigate after this as well."
"May be."
"Hahaha ...."
Itsuki and Riku laughed at their friend's overly curious attitude.
Meanwhile, Takumi was already pouting from being constantly teased by his two friends.
Takumi turned his head and looked at the glass window on his right. The streets are deserted. Perhaps Takumi, Itsuki and Riku were minors still wandering around in the middle of the night like this.
However, from all that Takumi still thought of something. He felt that something was a little off.
***
At least, for now that was what Takumi remembered. Takumi passed out in the theater whenvia took out his cellphone that was left behind. Those were all stories from Riku and Itsuki, plus the memories from Takumi himself.
Takumi let out a rough breath. He was with Riku and Itsuki still in a cafe that was open 24 hours.
"Why do you look so depressed, Taku-chan? Do you remember anything about what you saw in the theater earlier?" Riku asked. He was sitting next to Itsuki at this time. Meanwhile, Takumi was in the chair in front of them. There were already three glasses of apple juice on the table.
"Did you see a ghost or something, Akazawa?" Itsuki also asked, curious.
"Because I don't remember anything that's what makes me depressed, man!" Takumi spoke, looking a little sad. Takumi didn't know why his memory had become blurry like that.
Itsuki leaned over only to pat Takumi on the shoulder.
"Never mind, comrade! Don't think too much about it! That's why if you always satisfy your damn curiosity! After this, what else are you trying to do, huh?!"

Itsuki and Riku laughed at their friend's overly curious attitude.
Meanwhile, Takumi was already pouting from being constantly teased by his two friends.
Takumi turned his head and looked at the glass window on his right. The streets are deserted. Perhaps Takumi, Itsuki and Riku were minors still wandering around in the middle of the night like this.
However, from all that Takumi still thought of something. He felt that there was a little oddity in all the stories of his two friends. Not knowing why, Takumi also began to doubt his own memories. Takumi felt like he had forgotten something very important from all the events he had experienced.
"Oii ... what are you daydreaming about, Akazawa!" Itsuki shouted, and instantly made Takumi flinch.
Takumi smiled while scratching the back of his neck.
"Ah ... it's okay, Itsuki. Just thinking about something."
"Yosh! Then let's go home!!" Riku spoke, excitedly even though it was already the middle of the night. Riku doesn't seem to have the slightest drowsiness.
Takumi smiled seeing his friend who was so excited. Like Riku said earlier, maybe Takumi would have died without Riku and Itsuki earlier.
"Okay ... sometime I'll treat you guys to a meal as a thank you for helping me earlier."
Riku and Itsuki immediately high five.
After that, the three of them exited the cafe and separated at the fork of an alley.
"Do we need to take you home, Taku-chan?" Riku asked, winking at Takumi. He knew very well that Takumi might be afraid to go home alone.
"Riku's right. You're a coward, aren't you, Akazawa. You must still be scared because of what happened at the theater earlier, right?"
"No! I'm not afraid of anything, just so you know! So you can go home first." Takumi spoke.
Takumi momentarily looked at the alley Itsuki and Riku were going to. Then, turn to look down the alley leading to his house. The alley leading to his house looks darker than the others. It looks a little scary. Even though Takumi had walked that road for a dozen years, but Takumi had never passed that alley in the middle of the night like this.
Undeniably, Takumi was feeling a little scared at the moment. However, Takumi would not reveal that. This would seriously hurt his pride.
"Oh yeah, I just remembered! You two live in the same area, don't you?" asked Takumi while looking at Itsuki and Riku. They are still sitting in the first grade, so they don't really know much about each other's families.
What Takumi remembered was that Itsuki and Riku always went home together. So he concluded that maybe the two of them lived next door.
"Hahaha ... we do live in the same house--- hmmpph....!!" Riku's words stopped when Itsuki covered his impudent mouth.
