The mysterious kid helped Jirou who is then revealed to be Mikeru, "Excuse me for the mess but let me introduce myself, I'm Nakashima Mikeru a transfer student same class as you." Jirou replied nervously, "I-I am Tadashi J-Jirou." He spoke in a shy voice, a few seconds passed by, the pain in Jirou's face starts to ache.
"Ow." Jirou holding and bearing with pain with his hand holding his cheek.
"Oi Jirou are you okay?" Mikeru replied as seems he was worried. "No biggie, it doesn't hurt that much," Jirou replied. "Let's go to the infirmary before the class starts," Mikeru suggested as Jirou agreed with him grabbing his arm and make haste to the infirmary.
The two head to class together, few lectures passed by and Mikeru is balancing his pencil above his lips, as for Jirou was listening to the teacher and copying notes. Mikeru wrote something on the paper and threw it at Jirou. He picked the paper up and it says, "Let's have lunch together!" With a smiley face at the end. Jirou looks at Mikeru, smiled, and gave him a nod.
The bell rang and they head towards the cafeteria to have lunch but the same bully disrupts them on the way, "You think you've won by that lame cheap trick?" Threatening both of them while cracking his fingers. The tension in the atmosphere grew as Mikeru stares at the bully as if it was staring deep down of his soul with murderous intent. "You see big boy... I won't hesitate to do it again, but it will be you not breathing again and chase you down in hell." Those kinds of words aren't supposed to be a kid would say, he spoke as he was a different person going near to the bully. The bully wet himself and ran away.
"Why did he run away?" The tension dropped down and asked Jirou aloofly. "He's probably s-scared of you," Jirou replied nervously. "Is that so?" Mikeru having no idea and being a total airhead. They finally have their lunch in peace and having a very long conversation. Lunch has passed and they waited till the school day ends.Mikeru and Jirou walked home together. They did a chit chat along the way, "Hey Jirou you did well holding out there." Mikeru commended Jirou.
"E-eh? I didn't fight back or manage to land a single punch on him." Jirou replied with a doubt."Nah Jirou, you shove him off, you did an effort standing up to yourself from that bully. I admire that!" Mikeru replied cheerfully."T-thanks" Jirou replied happily."Okay! I have decided!" Mikeru spoke with joy and confidence to finally have something to stand for."W-what?" Jirou replied surprised."I decided that I will be always by your side forever! Worry not I'll be always by your side if you stay right beside me! I never had friends before and everything in my life feels so empty. My mom used to ask me this frequently till now, "If you stand for nothing son, then what will you fall for?" Mikeru told Jirou with such joy and shining eyes."B-by my side?""Mhm!" Mikeru nodded and smiled at Jirou."O-okay I will stay by your side forever as well Mikeru!" Jirou replied with such joy that he never felt."You finally said my name," Mikeru replied with a calm tone. The two of them smiled and laughed it off and continue what does the day served for them.The flashback is ending, the event is now going back to the present."H-hey Jirou, re-remember what I-I said?" Mikeru everything in his power to have his last conversation with Jirou. "I-I KNOW I KNOW, SAVE YOUR STRENGTH AND STAY ALIVE MIKERU." After the flashback, Jirou was crying with joy and replied to his dying question, "I'LL ALWAYS BY YOUR SIDE TILL DEATH." Mikeru was happy and smiles and is slowly fading to death relaxing and accepting his death. "N-NO DON'T DIE ON ME MIKERU! DON'T YOU DARE DISAPPEAR ON ME! I CAN'T LOSE YOU LIKE THIS PLEASE!" Jirou replied in desperation. "I am h-happy to fall by your h-hands J-Jirou." Mikeru coughs out blood. "STOP PLEASE SAVE YOUR STRENGTH!" Jirou replied in distress. "Th-thank you Ji-jirou for b-being my Fri-friend-" Mikeru loses consciousness as he fades into the light. After Jirou hearing Mikeru's last words. It felt the world has fallen above him and crying hugging Mikeru's corpse.Mikeru woke up in a dark room, "Where am I?" He instantly gathers his sight and saw Jirou, "Jirou is that you?"The image of Jirou turned into a godly female deity. "I'm afraid I'm not Jirou, I am Exavia the guardian of the afterlife. Why don't we discuss a few things with you Nakashima Mikeru?"End of Chapter 2.5
