Chapter 5
In the meantime, a child appeared among the female classmates who called Ryosaku by the nickname "Peeing Boy ".
And that impactful "nickname" has become established in the class.
I'm sure it's because the number of times he has to go to the restroom during class has increased recently.
Of course, no one called him that in person, but he came to know Ryosaku through an underclassman.
... Mr. Takada, you are called "Peeing Boy ".
The person who taught him this was a boy named Shigeharu Oyama, a year younger than him.
Oyama knew from his homeroom teacher that Ryosaku used the restroom a lot.
In fact, Oyama boy also had a history of being troubled by urination.
From an early age, he had a tendency to pee.
Oyama did not have an abnormally high number of times like Ryosaku, but because he was born weak in the muscles of the bladder sphincter and urinary tract, even if he had the urge to urinate, he could not make it in time to go to the restroom. There was a problem that he would do it.
And just as Ryosaku was given a special seat in the backmost corner of the classroom, Oyama also had a special seat in his own classroom.
Oyama's homeroom teacher told him that there was a senior student like you who was worried about peeing, so he didn't have to worry about it so much.
Ryosaku sincerely thanked this "comrade" for giving him valuable information.
Like Ryosaku, Oyama was a lonely person in the class, and there was a common denominator that he didn't have even a single friend, but this didn't lead to a deeper relationship between the two.
Oyama spent most of his break time alone in a corner of the schoolyard, basking in the sun.
Like an old man...
Before long, he also started going to Ryosaku's library.
In the case of the two, when they met each other's eyes, they both bowed lightly...that was the kind of relationship they had.
Neither Ryosaku nor Oyama sat at the same table, let alone next to each other.
While acknowledging and respecting each other's existence, they were careful not to venture into the other's "world."
