Chapter 17
Ryosaku walks around the school grounds.
Before long, Mieko came into view, leaning against a horizontal bar. When she notices Ryosaku, she runs up to him with her usual smile. For some reason, her eyes are red.
The moment Ryosaku turned his dull gaze to Mieko, the "monster" finally landed on Ryosaku's shoulder.
Something big changed in his heart.
It was... a very mean and dark feeling.
At this time, Ryosaku's heart was like, "Let's show her that she's worried about something, confuse her, and annoy her."
"If she approaches me, I'll just give her a glance and ignore her."
Such vulgar and sadistic thoughts came to his mind...!
When Mieko smiled as usual and tried to hold Ryosaku's hand, he brushed it aside and gave Mieko a look as if she was looking at something "dirty."
Then, in a theatrical manner, he turned his feet to his own classroom, this time with his head down.
The moment Ryosaku took her hand away, Mieko was startled and involuntarily backed away.
She didn't understand what had happened.
She was stunned and had no choice but to see Ryosaku's back.

During lunch break, Ryosaku goes to Mieko again.
And Mieko is treated exactly the same as "Middle Break".
"Ryosaku-kun, is there something wrong?"
Ryosaku once again coldly pushed Mieko who approached her with such an expression.
If it's the second time, it's no longer a "mistake" or a "temporary madness".
It was clearly Ryosaku's "intention".
Mieko, who has no recollection of being treated coldly by Ryosaku, clenched her mouth tightly and looked at Ryosaku's back with resentful red eyes.

He has little recollection after that.
There's just one thing... Mieko, who had been waiting for Ryosaku every day when she left school, was nowhere to be seen in the schoolyard that day.
Ryosaku didn't even remember how he got home.
Worried, he stopped by Mieko's house on the way to visit her... of course, he had no memory of that.
When he woke up, it was already morning.
