6, Yumi Kurisu
“It’s my business why I played ‘Breaking the Chains of Sorrow’!”
His blunt, unintentional probing grated on my nerves.
I was furious at his lack of delicacy for trying to step into a memory that was only mine and his.
In my past life, Tsugaru Madoka was frail.
Lacking in physical strength and often falling ill, I still attended school.
An event from the life of Yumi Kurisu, a high school freshman.
I wanted to try sports, but being frail, I was a girl who often read books instead.
One day, a classmate from middle school messaged me on LINE, having forgotten their stationery in the classroom, asking me to bring it to the Budokan.
Since I was about to head home, I grabbed their stationery and dashed out of the classroom.
The Budokan was echoing with the sounds of bamboo swords clashing, ‘pan, pan.’
Turning towards the sound, I saw a boy just as he secured a victory.
I was riveted by the precision of his bamboo sword, targeting the head with lightning speed.
“Yumi, thank you!”
“Yeah, no problem at all.”
While I replied to my friend, my gaze was fixed on the boy from before.
He had removed the mask of his protective gear.
“He’s amazing, isn’t he? That’s Mitsuhide Toyotomi. A freshman, yet strong enough to beat the captain. A boy devoted to kendo. Too strong for his age.”
“Really…”
“Hey hey, Yumi, you seem interested in Toyotomi-kun?”
“Eh? What? What are you talking about?”
“Oh, never mind. I got my answer…”
He wasn’t particularly handsome, nor was he unattractive.
Just an ordinary-looking boy.
Yet, he left an impression on me that I couldn’t forget.
He wasn’t the type to charm girls, but rather boys (not in a homos*xual way).
He had many friends and was well-known; that’s how the boy seemed.
“Yumi, you should’ve just talked to him…”
“No way, I’m happy just watching Toyotomi-kun.”
“You’re one step away from being a stalker… Toyotomi-kun is starved for female attention, he’d jump at the chance.”
“There must be others who like him just like I do!”
“Love is blind, huh?”
My friends from the kendo club were exasperated with me.
And so, for nearly three months, I couldn’t bring myself to speak to him.
Then one day…
“I feel sick…”
“Are you okay, Yumi?”
“My vision is spinning…”
It was a very hot morning.
Forcing myself to come to school, I was suddenly struck by anemia and couldn’t stand.
“No way…”
I leaned on my friend and then lost consciousness.
“Hey, Yumi!? The nurse’s office is just two minutes away!?”
“What’s the matter, Yoshida? Causing a commotion?”
“Ah, Toyotomi-kun”
———-
When I came to, I was in the nurse’s office bed.
I remembered being dragged here by a friend, but everything after losing consciousness was a blank.
“Good, you’re awake, Kurisu-san.”
“Thank you, teacher.”
Being frail, I often rely on the nurse’s office, so the teacher remembers me.
I’m truly indebted to her every single time.
“Um, what happened to me?”
“Yoshida-san and Toyotomi-kun brought you here.”
“Is that so… Who did you say with Yoshida-san?”
“Toyotomi-kun, the kendo ace. He even carried you on his back to rush here, so be sure to thank him.”
…I was so shocked I almost passed out again.
