"I'm truly sorry about that! It was my first time playing this game, so I did not know how to kick a ball properly." A man in the age of 14 said to him.
"Huh." Jiro was very confused.
The man offered a hand to Jiro to help him stand up.
"My name is Rikuto, I am from class 2 B. Again, I am so sorry."
"Ah yeah, It's fine." Jiro said to him while rubbing his head.
"Do you want me to help you go to the clinic?" Rikuto said.
"No thanks, like I said, I am okay."
"I insist. You still touch your head, so that means it hurts."
Jiro agreed so that Rikuto won't push him any further.A few minutes of walk, and then they arrived at the nurse's office. "I'll be leaving now. See you next time. Please, take care." Rikuto said.
Inside the clinic, the nurse only asks questions for the checkups.
"Alright, that's about it. It looks like you only need rest and a cold compress." The nurse said.
"Oh, btw, what class are you in? I need that for the record."
Jiro was very confused because he didn't know anything that was happening.
"I don't know.." Jiro said.
The nurse was very shocked but smiled.
"Okay, I'm gonna give the staff a call to know where you're in. Please have a rest here for a while while I call them."
The nurse left the room to call the staff.
A few minutes passed, and Jiro was getting impatient. He got up the bed and started to explore the room.
As he explores the room, he sees a man sleeping on the other side of the bed.
Jiro saw its beauty. He leaned closer to get a proper look at the man.
When Jiro was about to touch the man, the door opened.
He got startled and got back to his bed.
"Alright, the staff is here. I'll just leave you two alone for a while to figure these out." The nurse said.The staff sat in front of me and grabbed her book and pen.
"Alright, can you tell me what your name is?" The staff said.
"M-my name?" Jiro asked.
The staff stared at him.
"I am Shikamura Jiro."
The staff turned to her book and wrote something.
"Your age?" The staff said.
"I am 32." Jiro said.
The staff once again looked at him.
A long silence filled the room.
"You're kidding, right?" The staff said.
"No." Jiro said.
"Alright, I think that is it for the time being. Please wait for my announcement for you to know where you'll be studying." The staff closed her book, stood up, and then left the room.
Jiro was confused but exhaled a sigh of relief.The nurse went inside again.
"Thank you for that! Please rest in this bed for a while. We shall hear the announcement later."
Jiro lies down the bed and is as shocked as ever.
He was planning on figuring all these out, but he was too sleepy to even think.After a while, he woke up and saw by the window that it was already dawn. He sat back up, and then he wondered his eyes.
The nurse saw that he was already awake.
"Ah! You're already awake! The staff told me about your information earlier."
Jiro kept listening.
"You will be studying in class 2 B. Thanks again for today. I already called your parents to pick you up. Please take care next time!"He walked to the door. He saw that the man earlier was already gone. After he closed the door, he wondered.
"Class 2 B, huh?" He said. And then the thought of the guy that talked to him earlier.
"Kiruto, was it?" He had wondered.
"Parents, huh." He said.His parents had died from a car accident when he was 25. They were in a car to visit Jiro when a truck suddenly hit them. They were dead on the spot.
Jiro got sad, but he started walking outside the building.
He waited for his parents for a few minutes.
A car parked beside him. It was his parents.
They got off the car. He saw them. Their nostalgic faces. He cried as he had missed them. As he had been longing for their touches once more. His parents went to him and hugged him.
"Jiro, are you okay? Did that person bullied you? Does it hurt really bad? Do you want me to talk to them and punish them?" Jiro's mother said."Mom, It's fine." Jiro said. "I just missed you two."
His mother was confused, so as his father. They calmed down and hugged him.
They went back to the car and got to their house.
He looked around and felt nostalgia. "I haven't been in this house for a very long time." He said while smiling.
They had dinner. They chatted about what happened, and he went to his room. He lay down at the bed and stared at the ceiling.
Jiro wonders how all this had happened. He said to himself that tomorrow, he will start investigating.
