Chapter 33: Something to be aware of
Translator: Soafp
TL: this is the last chapter because author deleted it.
I’m at the library right now.
The reason was to return a book I had borrowed.
“….Why are you here again?”
“Ara, is it possible that you’re just coming here to be with me?”
“Of course not…”
The one who had this conversation was a girl with glasses and braids who didn’t seem to stand out much.
It was Suzuka Seo.
“So? What are you doing here today?”
“I came to return a book.”
I took the book out of my bag and put it in the return space.
I have already done what I came here to do today.
I had no need to stay here any longer, but it would not be nice to leave immediately after having met my friend.
So I sat down in front of Seo.
Even though I sit in front of Seo, I have nothing to say to her.
Is there anything to talk about?
I thought in my head.
“Hey, Shinzaki-kun.”
While I was thinking of a topic, Seo spoke to me.
“What is it?”
“Did something happen after we bumped into each other at the library before?”
Why does this person always know who I am all the time?
“….How did you know?”
“I told you. Your face has changed.”
I wondered if she could really know that much about me.
Despite my doubts, I thought it was amazing.
“You are amazing.”
Seo was making a smug face.
I laughed a little, feeling a little dumbfounded.
“What happened?”
Seo asked me.
“Well, how to say it”
I try to clear my head a little and start talking.
“I’ve made up with the people I was having a hard time with”
I said this to Seo, feeling a little embarrassed.
Then Seo’s face turned a little grim.
“Eh? Wait a minute. Shinzaki-kun, are you certain that’s what you want when you say you’ve made up?”
What does she mean?
“Eh? What do you mean?”
“What I mean is, have you forgiven them for everything they’ve ever done to you?”
“No? I haven’t forgiven them?”
“Eh?”
Seo looked stunned.
“Everything that has happened to me is in the past. There’s no point in regretting the past, is there? That’s why I turned my attention to the present.”
“You… that doesn’t make it any different than before…”
Seo said something, but I couldn’t hear it clearly because her voice was too quiet.
“Eh? What did you say?”
“No, nothing. This is something you have to be aware of.”
Something I need to be aware of?
Of what?
“Therefore, I can’t tell you.”
Seo looked frustrated.
What is it?
Why are you making that face?
Am I missing something?
Am I doing something wrong?
No, it can’t be.
Because I made up with everyone.
There is nothing wrong with me.
I parted from Seo with a delicate air.
Seo’s words.
[This is something you have to be aware of.]
What is that?
As I walked home, I pondered over it.
Thinking, thinking, thinking…
When I came to, I was in front of my house.
I couldn’t find the answer after all.
I opened the front door and said, “I’m home.”
Then Mifuyu said, “Welcome home.”
I washed my hands and went back to my room.
What is it? What haven’t I noticed?
….I don’t know.
There was something bothering me, something lingering in my mind.
TL: That’s it’s folks. This will be always on a cliffhanger. As always, thanks for reading.

@nika77722 I presume the author couldn't figure that out either. But I imagine the Protagonist would have another breakdown in a few days of not noticing his mistake. And would break the relationships off again in an even worse way. Hopefully he would notice his issue this next time, but he wouldn't even be able to repair some of the relationships he'd break again. Eventually learning to move on after actually finding himself.
Thanks for the chapter. It was fun while it lasted but after making-up with everyone I really didn't see where else this story would go
Thank you for the chapter !
