What The Future Holds For Us

Chapter 38: Korosensei's wish

Mr. Karasuma's POV

Irina was coming home from a long day in her office. An assignment breakdown and backed up paperwork will do that. I had made dinner for her and put it in the fridge in case she either wanted it tonight or as tomorrow's lunch. She may have just gotten some quick ramen on the way home.

I hear a knocking on the front door. It was 8:30, the exact time that she assumed she would be home by. I get up from my seat in the living room to let her in.

"Forget the house key again?" I laugh.

"I haven't done that in weeks! I'm just too tired to lift my arms up. I've been writing and typing for the better part of the last 2 hours."

"Well your dinner is in the fridge now, if you already got something else on the way home, then just have it for lunch tomorrow."

"I stopped by at the ramen place a few blocks from here already, but thanks for making the portion."

"Sure thing Irina."

"Hey Tadaomi, have you heard Akari Yukimura is back in Japan now? She and Nagisa Shiota have moved in now, too."

"Really? Those two have really had the relationship progression that Korosensei figured."

"Yeah... hey, do you still have that message that Korosensei gave to you a few weeks before he died?"

For a second I had no idea what she was talking about, but then I remembered what she meant. Sometime in February, Korosensei pulled Akabane and I aside for some personal messages we were to keep until a certain time in Nagisa's life.

Akabane was in regards to Nagisa being at his emotional low point, mine was for when Nagisa found that special someone. With luck that person would be Kaede Kayano, too.

He knew well in advance that those two were made from each other, and entrusted me with something so personal to both Korosensei, Nagisa, and Akari. I can guess Akabane already gave his letter, I might as well send Nagisa mine as well.

"Yeah I have it, I thought I should give it to him soon."

"I'd say that's a good idea. Maybe he and Akari can read it together."

"That's their decision, I have a feeling that Nagisa will make the right call from his end."

"Probably, anyway I need to go shower before bed, see you then."

I grabbed the envelope from a special folder I have at my desk and put it in the mail. It was to be sent to the school Nagisa works at. I don't want Akari to be the one who sees this first. It's probably time I get to bed myself, so I'll go get ready too.

Nagisa's POV

As part of my morning routine upon getting to work I check my designated mailbox for anything special or from the staff. Usually it's monthly plans or notices of school events, but today was significantly different from anything I could have expected.

The letter was addressed to me directly, not Nagisa-Sensei or Mr. Shiota. The return address was from Mr. Karasuma, a surprise for sure, but that's not who the letter itself was from. It was from Korosensei.

If this was to be anything like what Karma gave me a couple months ago I can't open it at school. I stashed it away in my backpack, and planned to open it at home. Akari had a photo shoot again that was from noon to 4:30pm, after I would get home myself. I'm not sure how personal it will be, but I have to prepare myself for it to be something serious like last time.

I head back to my room and unpack for homeroom. Today was mostly a review day, since we had a test in a few days. I try my best to help everyone individually as best as I can, but I unfortunately can't make clones of myself like Korosensei would.
