So since then, you’ve made no progress? That’s hopeless. You even had a chance to get close to him during the athletics carnival.”
“But…”
Getting closer to him, is actually pretty difficult you know?
Sakura-chan is tough when it comes to love, so if I let her be she’ll just keep lecturing me.
I changed the subject.
“Audibly badmouthing them? Yes, that does happen a lot, doesn’t it.”
“Mn.”
I decided to tell her about Mochida-san.
She’s been on my mind since then, and I tried observing her, and it turns out that she probably was being targeted after all.
They weren’t openly bullying her, but would whisper stuff while walking past her, before snickering to each other. They were clearly hurting her.
“It happens in my school as well, but I don’t suppose there’s much you can do about those things except wait them out.”
“I see.”
In my old life, there was a time when people suddenly started ignoring me. They wouldn’t even tell me why. But after a while, the target would change, and they would speak to me as well.
I guess this sort of stuff happens no matter the age or world, huh.
I feel bad for Mochida-san, but we’re in different classes, and don’t know each other at all, so it would be hard to help her.
But at the moment they’re just harassing her with sharp words, so I guess it might be fine?
Sakura-chan was really happy about the Snow White photo.
*imouto*
After I left the Cafe, I went and looked at some cute accessories with Sakura-chan at a miscellaneous goods store.
A miscellaneous goods store in Shimokitazawa.
A miscellaneous goods store in Shimokitazawa.
Having a look at misc. goods stores on a day off? It’s like we’re totally friends! So nice!
Anyway, while we were in the area, Sakura-chan suddenly said she wanted to go to a nearby shrine to a marriage god.
I wasn’t really into it, but Sakura-chan wanted a charm no matter what, so I decided to follow her.
Sakura-chan got ‘middle blessing’. I thought it was a plenty good result, but she said “I don’t know about that. Takumi still isn’t decisive about us, you know,” with a frown.
I brought Senpai’s face to mind, before pulling a charm. Bring it on! My first charm since ‘future blessing’!
“Hii!”
Shockingly, it was ‘curse’. It’s my first time getting a curse. So they really exist…
Sakura-chan peered in from the side, and then immediately backpedalled. Stop that! Stop treating me as cursed!
‘The awaited person, will not come. The things you lost, you will not find. Chance of proposal is far off. Very dim prospects.’
“Ummmm, when you get a bad fortune, apparently you’re supposed to tie it to a tree with just your left hand, okay?”
“…Really?”
“Y-, Yeah.”
I folded up my terrifying fortune, and tried to tie it just like Sakura-chan said.
But it was harder than expected.
It was so hard that I messed up and it fell on the ground.
Should I purify myself and go home?
