Revelation Of An Ordinary Life

Family Reunion

(A/N I will be using the fan translation as the official has messed things up)

Since the second I woke up there's only been one thing on my mind.

What video will be shown today?

It's like a chant that's been repeating in my head over and over again. I suppose that there's the obvious choice and the not-so-obvious choice. The obvious choice is my meeting with my father, but the not-so-obvious choice could be me leaving Kei. Kei's scene could be shown first because it allows mystery and will act as a sort of buildup for future events.

Occam's Razor, was it? The most obvious solution is usually the correct one. I suppose if we go by that logic then meeting with my father is first.

I could ask Chabashira to contact the chairman and ask him to issue a warning of sorts to the students. It would detail that they weren't able to ask or research about the White Room, but it isn't as if they could do anything anyway with this information.

I will just go with what I have always done. Whatever happens due to the reveal of the White Room will happen. It isn't as if the students are in any danger, anyway. My father can't reach the school and even if he could, he can't mess with hundreds of families because they found out some information.

Well then, I guess it's time.

Whatever happens, happens.

I can't change anything.

So I'll simply watch as I always have.

I opened my eyes as I heard the metallic door opening, signifying Chabashira's arrival. She went through her usual briefing and we were escorted to the gym.

"It's time for some new videos. Let's continue, shall we?"

The voice said as the screen lit up.

Since the crowd has thinned, Chabashira closed the distance and called out to me.

"Do you have business with me?"

"Yeah. Follow me. There's something I need to tell you."

"That's a tall order. I've got an appointment with Horikita now."

I made up an excuse to get out of this situation.

Horikita looked annoyed.

"It's a very convenient excuse, I really recommend it," I told her.

"That's not the problem. Stop using me to get out of every inconvenient situation," Horikita scoffed.

"That didn't seem to be a problem until now," I said.

Horikita clicked her tongue. "Fair enough."

"I don't want to act carelessly as a teacher either, but circumstances are circumstances."

Chabashira-sensei, who often doesn't show emotion, now has an unusually vulnerable expression on her face.

"I've got a bad feeling about this."

"Unfortunately for you, you don't have the right to refuse. It's an extremely urgent matter."

I don't really want to follow her but I can't afford to disobey a teacher either, I suppose. What little resistance I put up proved futile, so I ended up following Chabashira-sensei.

We left the student area and finally arrived at this place.

"The reception office? What do you need to talk about that you brought me all the way here? It's still too early for career consultation, right?"
