Chapter 50 – Flu

“…Uhh, it’s so hard… to move.”

I’ve done it now. I thought I had taken care of myself properly after that.

If Senpai knew that I had caught a cold, she would immediately think it was caused by the rain that day, and she would probably say it was her fault…

Also, she’ll get angry at me for not taking care of myself enough…

At any rate, if I take tomorrow off, the following days will be Saturday and Sunday, so that should work out…

The problem is the senpais… I should send them a LINE saying I can’t make it tomorrow because I have something to do.

If I can avoid them during the morning and afternoon, they will not find out.

“I’m sorry, but tomorrow I can’t come with you in the morning because I have something to do. I’ve got some business to attend to at lunchtime as well, so please let me take a break from lunch and watering. Sorry.”

“Understood. It’s a pity, then I’ll start cooking again next week.”

“Yes, thank you very much. Have a good night.”

“Good night.”

It’s okay. If the senpais don’t come to the classroom, they won’t find out…

… Wishing for something like that,  it seemed that I had stumbled on a significant event yet again.

——————————————

During the morning, I went to Takanashi-san’s classroom to say hello, but it seemed that he had not yet arrived at school.

He’s running late, so he must be swamped.

A forced visit may not be a good idea… but since I won’t be able to see him for lunch, I thought I’d at least say hello and see him…

“What’s wrong? Didn’t you see Takanashi-kun?”

“No… he informed me that he was busy today.”

I’m sad that I can’t make Takanashi-san’s lunch… since it has become my daily routine.

“Even if he’s busy, you can at least say hello to him, so why don’t you go there during lunch break?

“Yes, that’s my plan.”

——————————————

“Regarding Takanashi-kun, he’s off today with a cold. That’s what the teacher said during morning HR.”

During the lunch break, I came to check on Takanashi-san, but…

I couldn’t find him, so I asked a nearby female student, who happened to be in the vicinity, and got a reply.

Caught a cold… He’s still feeling alright until before we parted yesterday… Maybe it got worse during the night…

I should hurry back to the classroom.

——————————————

Sara is back early.

She has a grim expression on her face… Didn’t she see Takanashi-kun?

Hmm?

Why is she suddenly packing up her things?

O-oi, w-wait a minute!

“Sara! Why are you leaving? School’s not over yet, you know?

“Takanashi-san is absent because he caught a cold. It was most likely due to the rain the other day. If so, it’s my fault, so I’ll need to take care of him…”

“Hold up! Umm… What would the teacher say if you suddenly leave? And does Sara know where Takanashi-kun lives?”

“Yes, we went home together the other day. I’ll come back later and explain to the teacher.”

The rain was the cause of it… more importantly, when did she get ready to leave… that’s not the question I should be worried about.

Nothing I can do about it; I just have to use Takanashi-kun as an excuse to persuade her.

“Sara, I understand how you feel, but if you leave early now, you’ll just give Takanashi-kun trouble. Think of it this way, Sara. What can you do even if you leave early?”

“Ahh… ahh… but…”

Oh, as expected, she seems to be able to hold back when it’ll trouble Takanashi-kun.

“I think Takanashi-kun had no choice but to lie because he didn’t want Sara to be in trouble. That’s why, if you’re going to go, make sure you finish school first, or you’ll ruin Takanashi-kun’s concern for you.”

…I didn’t hear it directly from Takanashi-kun, but if I think about why he lied to Sara, it’s because he didn’t want to give her trouble.

——————————————

I’ll give Takanashi-san trouble…

So that’s why I resisted the urge to go right now.

Yes… Takanashi-san is a kind person, so he must have lied for my sake.

I can only think of how that day caused him to catch a cold at this time.

But I guess he didn’t want me to find out about it.

If that’s the case, I should finish my school work first; otherwise, Takanashi-san will be very disappointed. I’ll visit him after school is over.

… Of course, the fact that he lied to me is a point for preaching.

“Sorry for worrying you. I’m going to visit Takanashi-san’s house after school. I’m going to be absent from the student council.”

“I’ll let Daichi know, and let’s head there as soon as possible after school.” (TN: Daichi = Student Council President) (EN: This guy is so pitiful, he rarely get referred to by name)

For the first time in my life, I wished that class would end sooner.

*TN: Since it’s a good stopping point, I’ll take a break on translating this and focus on the other translation. Sorry for being selfish and thank you very much~
