-Ren-kun? This...
-What is this doing here!?
-How..
-I can't believe it! Just when we think we're over it, they show up again. What exactly are they? This-
When the phone in the box rang, we turned our attention to the phone. I hesitated a little, but I picked up the phone. I waited for a few seconds, but there was no sound from the other side.
-Hello?
No answer
-Hello! Who is this?.. .. .. .. .. closed.
Junki-san's face looked very pale. It seemed to have shaken him more than anyone else. When I saw him like that, I involuntarily threw the box and the telephone in my hand to a random place.
Everyone was looking at me with eyes waiting for an explanation. I had no intention of answering, so without saying anything, I grabbed Junki-san's arm and quickly left the park.
Junki-san, who was being dragged along beside me (because of me), tried to stop me by dragging his feet on the ground.
-He, hey Ruki-kun! Where are we going? What's going on? Are you going to say something?
We were far from the park now. I let go of Junki-san's arm.
-We're going to Mamehara-san's place.
-??
-XX-san told us to get help from him, so he must know something. You also said that it all started when Mamehara-san was fired.
-I understand, but why didn't you tell them that?
-That's not a very important matter. I'll tell them when the time comes. Anyway, you know Mamehara-san's address, right?
-Hm, yes. Yes, I do. It's not far.
-Really? Is it far enough for us to walk?
-I mean, it could take half an hour.
-Super! It'll be safer that way. Although the word "safer" doesn't sound safe anymore. Okay, you lead the way, please.
-Okay.
-But first we have a little business over there.
-?
-Since we can't communicate by letter, there must be a reliable communication line.
We went into the electronics store on the sidewalk across the street. I saw a familiar face inside. I couldn't remember who it was, but it looked very familiar (we're talking about the clerk).
-Hello, welcome. How can I help you- Wait, Ruki? Oh, it's really you.
-Yes?
-Hm? -Don't you recognize me? Well, it's normal, I mean, we haven't talked much, but I admired you a lot. I'm Maki.
-Maki? Is that you? You've changed so much. I don't recognize you. I guess I haven't seen you since middle school, right?
-It's been a long time. You went through a lot back then, and I always wanted to support you, but I could never do it. But you overcame even that. I heard you're working in the police. How is it? Are things good? What was your job?
