Recapping, Yuki-san, for some reason, proposed to the 16-year old Kiriyama Yuuki . Yes, a sixteen year old . Because it’s so important that it is said twice .

“Um … Yuki-san?” I called out hesitantly, “I still can’t get married, y’know? Since i’m still 16 years old . ”

Yuki was startled, “That’ true . It seems i became a bit impatient . ” I could see how surprised she was . It was the first time I saw her that way, to the extent that even her eyes were wide open .

“Then, why ask?”

“Well, when I told Hinata-san about my problem, she said, ‘If your relatives keep nagging you, isn’t it fine if you just get fake married’ or so I recall, and so, when I thought about a man that was close enough to me that could help, I thought of you . ”

“… I see . Can you lend me the smartphone for a bit?”

“Ah . . sure . . but… . ”

While Yuki was still out of sorts, I took the phone, called the latest number in the logs and a certain person answered the call .

“Yuki huh? What happened?”

“This is not Yuki-san . It’s Yuuki . ”

“I see… I wonder if that ‘problem’ has been resolved . ”

“Of course it was resolved . I just want to ask you, Hinata-san, for your opinion about a recent mix up . ”

“Sure . What is it you want to ask?”

“I want to know why you inspired Yuki-san to enact such a plot?”

“It’s simple, y’know . Because it was interesting . ”

I knew it . She of course remembered that I was not of marrying age, which was why she brought it up in the first place with me being the one to be asked .

“Yuki-san didn’t realize that I still can’t get married?” I still asked her .

“Uh, it’s weird . If Yuki is in her usual state of mind, she would have noticed on her own . More specifically, she should have realized I was pranking her when she heard it…”

“Is that so? . . ”

“Can you hand the phone over to Yuki for a bit?”

“Hinata-san said that she want to talk to you,” I said as I passed her back the pone .

“I understand . ”

Yuki took the call, and started to talk . Was it my imagination, or is she taking a peek at me from time to time? It’s probably inexcusable but, I should listen in this time to their conversation . This whole thing just makes me a bit too nervous .

“I can’t do it, y’know?”

“… . . if it’s Yuki… . the courage… . ”

“It – it’s impossible . Besides since i’m quite weird, i will become trouble . “

“The, want to wait? …this way… . . popular…… . probably . ”

Hmm … I couldn’t hear what Hinata was saying, so the flow of the conversation was hard to puzzle out, and with Yuki taking a peep at me every so often, my curiosity wask reaching it’s peak . Does their conversation have to do with me still?

“Sorry for the wait, I’m done,” Yuki said as she hung up the phone .

“If I may ask, what did you two talk about?”

“It’s a secret . ”

While I wished she could tell me, it couldn’t be helped that they wanted to keep it to themselves . Either way, somehow the marriage topic was resolved .

“Well, it can’t be helped if it’s a secret now, can it?” I said as I got up . “Then i’ll go home for today . ”

“Yes . Thank you for your hard work . ”

I went to home . Regardless of her intentions, being proposed to by a blushing Yuki made my heart brimming with joy for a long while . But, since I’ll probably never be involved in something like romance, I’ll  write the memories of today’s proposal on a diary of some sorts . It’s a nice experience for me, and I probably won’t have that again .

“I’ll do my best tomorrow too,” I said to myself, and crawled in my bed and fell asleep .

The next day, when I wanted to get up, I realized I couldn’t . Moreover, it not only felt really heavy, and yet, at the same time… empty . Without even measuring my temperature, I could get a feel of where I was .

“A cold it is . ”

Yesterday, I was running, drenched with sweat . It couldn’t be helped that I caught one . It’s no good if i don’t call the school, but I don’t know even know the homeroom teacher’s phone number . What to do…

“…tte that’s right . If i call Yuki-san, then ask for Hinata-san’s phone number, that should be good enough shouldn’t it?”

And so, I quickly made the call .

“Yuuki-san, what happened?”

“Can you give me Hinata-san’s phone number?”

“That should be fine, but what happened?”

Well, she asked me as expected . But being in this state, it would be not good if i don’t take a break from work, so I had to be honest .

“I’ve caught a cold so I want to call to homeroom teacher’s number and tell him, but since I don’t know his number, I thought that I could get Hinata-san’s help . And you have her number…”

“… . I understand, I will tell her so for the time being, please stay put for now . ”

“I’m sorry for the trouble . Thank you very much,”

It seemed she was a bit angry . Anyway, I called the number that I asked  from Yuki-san, and Hinata-san picked up, “Hello…”

“Hello, this is Kiriyama Yuuki . ”

“Oh? At such a time like this, what’s the matter?”

“I’ve caught a cold, and since I can’t go to school, I had thought to call my homeroom teacher, Hiiragi-sensei, but since I don’t know his number, I decided to call you . That being said, can you please tell him about my cold and that I won’t be able to attend class?”

“It is not a problem, but are you going to be alright by yourself?”

“To be honest, it’s painful, but since i’m used being home alone, i’ll get through it somehow . ”

“Hmm… . I understand . For now, make sure to drink water, and get plenty of rest, okay?”

“I understand; I will . ”

I was drained after the call . My clothes were drenched in sweat, and it felt unpleasant, but… I didn’t have the energy to change, and so I’ll just sleep like this .

*

When I opened my eyes again, I looked at the clock . It was more or less 12 o’clock . The only problem was, I haven’t got any better at all . Water was in fridge on the first floor, and since the thermometer was at the first floor too, I was quite in a pinch . It’s at times like these that it was painful being a loner . I don’t have a family, so there’s no one to rely on, and It’s no good if i don’t do it by myself, isn’t it?

“All right . Let’s do this . ”

I dragged myself out of bed, and as best as I could started to walk down to the first floor . I felt faint; dizzy even . I tried to walk, but each step was unsteady . I leaned against the wall, as an aid, and tried to walk that way .

“Finally …  finished the stairs,”  I breathed .

Usually the corridor was nothing, but today it felt really long . After I finally arrived in the living room, I had to sit . My legs buckled, and any strength in them was nearly gone .

“This is dangerous… . This is seriously the first time I was in such trouble ever since I was on my own . ”

I have no strength, and my head is foggy . I can’t think at all . Leaning against the wall again, my breath became ragged .

“The phone is near the bed too . Going back and forth . . this is dangerous… . ”

I didn’t know what would happen if things stayed like this, but just being at the corrider was fine enough, so I laid down . Even just sitting up was not an option, I was so weak .

“Floor . Cold . Feels good …” I mumbled . I’ll just rest . Rest for a little while . And as I thought that, sleep began to take hold .

“No… it’s not good to fall asleep now . If i don’t go…… to living room……”

And then I blacked out, falling asleep in the hallway .
