TheLong Journey Until I Reunite With You

Prologue:Dying Regret

(Author’s Note: Although the theme has been extensively used, Iintentionally wanted to write with it.)

Despite being a delinquent, I had gone on a field trip and died. No,I shouldn"t have been the only one that died. I was beyond saving. I was oftena.s.sociated with bad people from middle school to high school. Whatever fightsor injuries they gave me, I smiled and overcame them, but now it seemed thatthey were going to die with vacant eyes. But I could do nothing as I laymotionless.

The bus we were riding on was forced to go around a car toovertake it, but as the bus came to a sudden turn, it fell to the bottom of aravine in the mountain pa.s.s. What they felt had gone beyond pain, to the pointwhere they were paralyzed and unconscious. How disappointing.

From the time I was in middle school I survived the carnage oflarge scale fights. I was the strongest, I was arrogant, and a delinquentteenager. A bunch of us from different schools hung out and indulged ourselves,it was fun but empty. But I became a high school student and went on a schoolfield trip because that girl was there.

『Uooooooh, Asakura-kun’s bike makes a pretty nice sound.』(????)

Whenever I did happen to go to school, only the bad people stuckaround while everyone else avoided me. However, a single girl talked to mewithout feeling intimidated. She was annoying.

『Wait, Asakura-kun, can run really fast? I’d be happy if you didthe relay for the athletic festival.』 (????)

She was the type who was at the center of events and school lifewith her youth. She was the type who was outspoken and motivated and became thecenter of attention.

『Ehehehe~ Well~ I’m also taking the supplemental exams. Even though we’re j.a.panese,why do we have to study English anyways? Math also makes no sense!』(????)

Moreover, she was a bit dumb. I was forced to take supplementaryexams so I wouldn"t repeat a year. I always ended up seeing her because ofthat. She didn’t have the face of a top cla.s.s beauty. Nor were physicalactivities her specialty. However, she was eager about everything, and nevergot discouraged. She always showed her true self and made a lot of friends, andbefore I knew it I was caught up in her pace.

『Asakura-kun, you can’t leave. It’s because you"ve got animportant role in the play. Yeah, with the tanuki costume.』(????)

(TN: A tanuki is a j.a.panese Racc.o.o.n.)

Before I realized it, the delinquent that I was began going toschool, and came to be on good terms with the people who were previously afraidof me.

『Asakura-kun, what do you mean you can’t go on the school trip?!Hey stop it! Listen, everyone’s going to have fun.』(????)

She was noisy but easy to approach, so it wasn"t all that bad.

「Kamino......」 (Asakura)

I, who was given that sort of life by 『KaminoMina』, fell in love with her. However, she wouldn’t wake up. Thatidiot"s stupid grin is gone, and my other cla.s.smates will never open their eyesagain.

I really wanted to keep talking to you. There were so many thingsI didn"t get to tell you because I was too embarra.s.sed. A short thank you, and,「Ilove you. Go out with me.」 I always wanted to tell you that.
