After closed the door, both Aiba and the ‘ghost’ leave the apartment. The rest still cuddle in their blanket, enjoying the sweetness of their dream. Slowly, both of them walk on the silent road with Aiba leading the path. Somehow, the ‘ghost’ feels a bit shy after the incident last night. She was crying too much, thought she knew that she shouldn’t show the weakness side of her to him. It’s pretty embarrassing, but she felt a bit calmer than before. Suddenly, Aiba slow down his pace, trying to walk together with her.
“I think it’s better if we see Tazawa ji-chan.”
“Eh? Weren’t you saying we’ll go to yesterday place?”
“I think it’s impossible we can found her at there again.”
“But, why Tazawa ji-chan?”
“Cause’ Tazawa ji-chan was working as our school’s guard since a very long time ago. So, I’m sure we can find out something from him.”
She only nods by his words, making Aiba feels a bit awkward.
“Don’t worry! I’d promise that I’ll-”
Suddenly, she holds his hand.
“Eh?”
“...Thank you...”
“Ah, o-okay.”
Then, both of them fall into a deep silence. No more tease, argue or pout with each other like before. It’s awkward, but at the same time calms both of them.
‘...I shouldn’t have a feeling toward her...After all, we can’t be together...’
He grasps her hand tighter. The ‘ghost’ notices it, but doesn’t say anything at all. Finally after few minutes walking, they reach their school. Slowly, Aiba loosens his hold and walks to the guard’s hut.
“Aiba-chan? Why you suddenly came to school today? It’s weekday you know?”
“Mou~ I know it Tazawa ji-chan.”
He pouts at the guard, ignoring his sorrow before. The guard only laughs by his reaction.
“Actually, I really need Tazawa ji-chan help now.”
“Eh? What is it about?”
“It’s about the 10 years ago suicide case. Tazawa ji-chan must know a lot about it right?”
“Actually not really...But how did you know about it Aiba-chan?”
“Um...I’m...”
He hesitantly looks at the guard. Should he tell him the truth or not?
“Did you meet her?”
The guard seriously looks at him. Aiba looks surprise for a while, but finally nods his head at the older man.
“I see...”
“Eh?”
He shocked when the guard didn’t ask further about it anymore. The guard only went back to his desk and takes a piece of paper. Then, he writes down something on it before gives it to Aiba.
“Go to this address and just say my name if the owner asks.”
“Eh?”
Aiba confusedly looks at the paper.
“Who I’ll be seeing there?”
“My sister.”
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
“We’re here.”
They look at the beautiful house in front. It looks old, but still gives out a calm feeling.
“So now, you need to tell me your name.”
“Eh? For what?”
“Isn’t it weird if I just say ‘the girl that commits suicide 10 years ago’?”
“Don’t worry. I don’t mind at all.”
“No, it will be awkward FOR ME you know!”
“Don’t want to~”
“Stop being so childish!”
“Don’t want too~”
“Oi-!”
“Who’s there?”
Suddenly, a voice comes out from the intercom. Both of them shock and stunned for a while.
“...I-I’m Aiba Masaki. I-I’m sorry for suddenly disturbing, but I’m here to ask about something.”
“I’m sorry, but about what?”
“It’s about the suicide incident at Storm High School 10 years ago.”
The woman turns to silence. Both of them look at the intercom, waiting for the woman answer.
“...I’m sorry, but I don’t know anything about it.”
“But, Tazawa ji-chan told me to come here.”
He said it immediately, hoping that the woman will not end the conversation just like that. Suddenly, the door opened, showing a lady that looks around Tazawa ji-chan age.
“Tazawa told you to come here?”
“Yes ma’am.”
She looks shocked for a while, but still gives out a gentle smile.
“Please come in.”
Both Aiba and the ‘ghost’ look at each other before come into the house. Meanwhile, the four guys are spying him from the corner of the road.
“I-I can’t believe this...”
“This is bad!”
“I also hope I was misheard it last night...but...”
They immediately turn to silent, speechless with what they just witnessed before. Suddenly, Ohno gives out a regretful sigh.
“What on earth Aiba-chan is thinking.”
“Leader?”
“I-I just can’t believe this...”
They only look at the older man.
“...Yeah, you’re right. Me too.”
“Yup.”
“Well, we need to do something guys.”
The other guys nod.
“But...”
They immediately look at him.
“How come he can fall in love with an old woman?”
“Eh?”
(. . .)
“...Chot-chotto leader. Don’t tell me you thought that oba-chan before was his...crush?”
“Wasn’t she?”
The three guys fall. Ohno Satoshi, why you are so ‘innocent’?
“Eh? What’s wrong?”
“I’d told you already right?!! It was the GHOST that he was TALKING with before!!!”
Ohno dumbly looks at him before left out a relief sigh.
“I see...Well, it’s fine then!”
“Huh?”
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
At the same time, both Aiba and the ‘ghost’ are sitting on the tatami while waiting for the old lady to come out from the kitchen. They keep looking at the elegant Japanese style living room while praising it. Accidently, they saw a photo frame on a small cupboard there.
“I’m sorry for taking too much time.”
The old lady suddenly comes out from the kitchen with a tray.
“No. I’m the one who should say sorry here.”
He said it while bowing and smiling shyly. The old lay only smiles by his action. Then, she serves him a cup of tea.
“Douzo.”
“Arigato gozaimashita.”
Aiba bows awkwardly and takes it.
“You know, I thought you’re with somebody before.”
“Eh?”
He looks at the old lady while sipping the tea.
“Cause’ I heard you’re shouting someone at outside before.”
Immediately, he spurts out the water back to the cup. Luckily, the old lady didn’t notice it or it will looks like he was being rude to her.
“Maybe I just misheard it ne.”
She smiles gently at him. Aiba just nods and smiles awkwardly while putting back the tea on the table front. Suddenly, the ‘ghost’ taps his shoulder.
“Can you please ask her about the photo?”
“I-I’m sorry. Is that ma’am daughter?”
The old lady looks at the photo and giggles.
“Yes she is. Don’t call me ma’am, just oba-chan.”
“Ah, I’m sorry oba-chan.”
The old lady laughs by Aiba answers. Then, she takes the photo and brings it to him.
“She was one of the basketball members in her school before. And this was her photo with the other members.”
Then, the old lady points at one of the girl on the photo.
“This was the girl that suicide 10 years ago.”
Indeed, it was ‘her’. Still can smiles and looks so happy in the photo. At the same time, Aiba notices that the ‘ghost’ is clenching her fist.
“During that time, the Storm High School became famous because of this basketball girl’s team. But...”
She sighs. Aiba just silently waits for her to continue it.
“...It changes after this poor girl commit to suicide.”
Then, she caresses the photo sadly.
“Well, I didn’t blame her cause’ my daughter was involved in it too.”
“...I’m sorry, but what was happened?”
“10 years ago...”
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Both of them bow politely at the old lady in front of the door. The old lady bows back while wiping her tears.
“How I wish I can meet the poor girl and apologize for my daughter’s deed before.”
“Don’t worry.”
Then, he looks at the ‘ghost’ besides and smiles brightly.
“I’m sure she was forgave them already.”
The old lady nods her head and smiles.
“Thank you for coming here.”
“No, I’m the one who should say thank you here. Thank you very much oba-chan.”
He bows her again.
“...Tazawa must be trust you a lot. That’s why he sent you to come here.”
Aiba shocked by the lady words, but didn’t say anything. He just smiles at her and readily to leave the house. However, he suddenly stops and looks back at the lady behind.
“I’m sorry...But, where’s oba-chan daughter now?”
The old lady stay silent for a while, making him feels guilty for asking.
“...She was commit suicide too.”
“Eh?”
“...Regretting with all she had done to her.”
A deep silence surrounds them. Slowly, Aiba bows at her.
“...I’m sorry.”
“No it’s fine. Actually, all of them were feeling guilty with what they had done before...Except for one person...”
“One person?”
The old lady nods while sighs regretfully.
“...See? Not all of them were change.”
“I’ll change her then.”
Aiba mumbled, making the ‘ghost’ besides shock.
“Can Oba-chan please tell me how to contact her?”
“I don’t know her contact number. Only her workplace.”
