Chapter 19
On this day, Mieko finally did not show up at school.
The next day, and the day after that.
"Mieko-chan, are you sick?"
Ryosaku, who has returned to being "decent", worries about Mieko's physical condition, and comes to think of the cold treatment he has done to her.
Although he was in an extremely poor physical condition and in an abnormal mental state as if he had been fascinated by a "demon", for some reason the core part of the sinful act he committed towards Mieko was firmly engraved in his memory.
"Why did I do such a terrible thing...?"
He was worried, but remembering the stern gaze of Mieko's older sister Kaori at that time, he couldn't find the courage to go to Mieko's house.
"Mieko-chan, you must be angry... No, you hate me... You may be sick and in bed. What should I do?"

And while Ryosaku was worrying about it, time went by, and a week passed.
"Yeah. Let's go to Mieko's house after school today. And I'll properly apologize for what happened the other day."
Finally, Ryosaku made up his mind to stand up.
