Since I put Sakamoto Norie in the piggy bank, she can go to school alone today without me having to worry. Last night I received a text message from Hihara Karen thanking me for everything.  

When she asked me how I knew that Sakamoto was dangerous, I told her that I had a hunch.

I wonder if my suspicion of being a chuunibyou has been cleared now...

As I trudged along, I thought back to yesterday's events. The bad end was indeed averted as planned, though the joint meeting was only two days long. What are the schools going to do with each other now that Sakamoto has been caught?

There are many students wearing the same uniform as me, and there are already some who are talking about the arrest of Sakamoto. Although my name wasn't mentioned in the morning news today, Sakamoto was. I don't know what will happen to the sports festival itself, but since no one was harmed, they'll probably still do it... right?

Everyone is looking forward to it. These school events are exciting, and I want to enjoy it too.

—-Is everyone really having fun...

In the "if story," Hihara Karen wasn't enjoying it at all. By this time, she was already caught in Sakamoto's clutches, and she had worries about her family. There was no laughter at all. How about now? Sakamoto is no longer here, and it should be more enjoyable than usual, but can she truly enjoy it from the bottom of her heart?

Can we all have fun together at the sports festival?

...I should listen to what she has to say. I don't know what I can do or what will change. But I want her to enjoy the sports festival. It's not good to get too involved in the contents of the "story," but I want her to smile. I want her to be happy.

After today's committee meeting, I'll talk to her. I pass through the school gate and change into my indoor shoes at my locker. Then, I hear voices between students coming from the neighboring lockers.

"Oi, did you see the morning news?"

"That teacher from Isshiki High School who attacked our student during the joint sports festival but got beaten up and arrested, right?"

"Yeah, that's right. I wonder who caught him."

"Could it be him again?"

"Double Destruction Overlay?"

"Yeah, didn't he protect Gindou-san and caugh the stalker before?"

"Chuunibyou isn't something to be dismissed, huh?"

Well, let's get on with the day.......

When I open the classroom door, my classmates, almost all of them, look at me with suspicious eyes. As I take my seat, Sasamoto, who was sitting in front of me, talks to me.

"It was you who repelled the teacher from Isshiki High School in the morning news, right?"

Jumping to conclusions, huh? It's me, but still...

"No, it wasn't me."

"Don't lie. Everyone in the school already thinks it was you."
