Let's turn back time for a bit.
Student counseling room after school.
Shirasaka-san was called by Yuzuki-sensei after the homeroom and was brought here, then she was shown the video of yesterday's incident.
I was in Yuzuki-sensei's 『Preparation Room』since this morning...I skipped today's classes.
There's one reason.
To shock Shirasaka-san.
We can't show my swelling face plastered and bandaged beforehand...
Actually, Shirasaka-san was surprised to see me waiting in the student counselling room .
「...What's wrong, Yoshida-kun!?」
I didn't answer. I'm just looking down...
Shirasaka-san will be driven into a trap now...it would go wrong if I speak poorly.
I thought of leaving everything to Yuzuki-sensei.
「He got caught up in a small trouble you see...This is why he was absent from the class today. Well, it's related to you though...」
Sensei had a suggestive smile.
「Uhm...What do you mean? What's my relation to Yoshida-kun's injury?」
Shirasaka-san's face became clouded.
「...I don't think you're the one who did this violence to him. Shirasaka-san, did you talk to Endou-kun today?」
「Yes? Kenji...Endou-kun? Uhm, we're in the same class so we talked」
She's puzzled as the Endou's name who's her classmate and lover is mentioned.
「...How was he? Did you feel something strange in his actions?」
「Err...I'm worried because he's not energetic but...Uhm, Is Kenji somehow related to Yoshida-kun's injuries?」
The female teacher didn't answer Shirasaka but instead took a piece of disk in silence and inserted it to a laptop.
「...Shirasaka-san. Do you know that there're surveillance cameras installed in some places in this school?」
「...No」
「...It has become dangerous lately. Therefore we installed surveillance cameras on locations where the school eyes can't reach and delinquency seems to occur. One of the important point to monitor is the roof of the school building」
The teacher in black hair and glasses say 『It's normal for teachers to observe the students』justifying the existence of the surveillance cameras.
「...Then, what you're going to see is the recorded video from yesterday after school」
「Why do I have to see this...?」
She's feeling a bad premonition.
Shirasaka-san throws her doubt to the teacher.
「...Well, you'll understand when you see it」
The teacher clicked the play button with her thin fingers...
...And.
Shirasaka-san looks pale after the video stops.
The female teacher's lips is grinning.
「...Then you see, here's his medical certificate. His bruise and scratch would take a month for a complete recovery. Oh, his treatment was made by an acquaintance doctor. It would be a big problem if the school infirmary's doctor would take a look at him」
Yesterday, a voice from the school speakers suddenly called out while Endou was beating me up.
「Students on the rooftop , leave immediately! That's a restricted area!」
Yuzuki-sensei's voice was heard from the speaker.
The second year baseball club member and Endou was surprised and left the roof in a hurry.
「Listen here, don't even talk about this to anyone...!」
He left with such a bad line...
Afterwards, I dragged my aching body down the rooftop to a floor below and Yuzuki sensei smilingly meet me.
Then I was taken to a medical practitioner in the town by a car.
Of course, I don't care about my body.
We got a medical certificate from the doctor to obtain an evidence of the clear violence...
