One Danger

“Onii-san,wake up or else you’re going to be late!”

I wokeup from my body being swayed back and forth.

Scratchingmy head, I gave one big yawn.

As Iwas rubbing my eyes, Sana appeared before me.

Herlong black hair was on the verge of grazing my shoulder.

Just alittle bit of makeup along with her grown-up features made her lookeven more like an adult.

“Eh,Sana…? Why are you wearing makeup? Did you cut your hair too?

“Whatdo you mean ‘why,’ for work of course. Also, Sana didn’t cut herhair. Now hurry up Onii-san or else you’re going to be late!”

“Huh?Work?”

*Beepbeep beep* My smartphone’s alarm clock began to ring.

Huh? Mysmartphone?

Iclosely looked around only to find myself inside a room I’m notfamiliar with.

Huh,what is this?

Istopped the alarm and checked today’s date.

I-I’mback!? I came back from the time leap!?

“Uh,where am I?”

“Inyour room of course; are you half asleep?

“ButI’m pretty sure I live alone…”

“Thatwas the case, but Onii-san is the one that said we should livetogether because Sana’s company was close by, right?”

Ithought she was someone that was similar to Sana, but as it turnsout, I guess it really is her.

Withouta doubt, those tiny breasts of confidence and its achievements belongto Sana.

Sothere really are things in life that just won’t change…

“Wh-what is it? Why are you staring at Sana like that?”

“Iwas just assessing whether you really were my little sister or not.”

It’sdifferent from before the time leap.

I wassupposed to be living on my own before, but here I am living withSana.

As Iwander around the house, there are only rooms that I do notrecognize.

Themonth and day are the same as before I came back, exactly ten yearslater.

Basically,because the past changed, the future was also changed as a result.

“Whatare you muttering about? Hurry up and eat your food!”

Layingon the dining table was a scorched sliced bread, a burnt fried egg,and lettuce that had the appearance of mere leaves.

It wasa breakfast overwhelmed by unpolished cooking.

Wait,since I’ve came back ten years into the future, what happened toHiiragi-chan and I?

I’mliving with Sana like this at the moment so… does that mean we’redating!? Or could it be that…

“Hey…Sana, do you remember Hiiragi-sensei?”

“Ahhh,Hiiragi-sensei. Why do you ask about her?”

“Doyou know what she is doing right now?”

“Prettysure Hiiragi-sensei is still teaching, right?”

Well Imean, she was a teacher back then…

“Ijust thought that you may have known something about her.”

“Hm?”

I checkmy phone’s address book or any other social media that could haveHiiragi-chan’s contact info.

Ididn’t know a single contact address at this time, but now itshouldn’t be strange to have one now.

“Ithink Hiiragi-sensei was really in love with Onii-san. When Onii-sangraduated, he seemed uneasy and Hiiragi-sensei seemed very sad…”

Ilooked uneasy? What for?

Ah,there it is, Hiiragi-chan’s phone number. I was used to seeing hernumber, but it’s very likely that she has changed her number by now.

“Sanawill be heading out first then, okay?” She proceeds to stand upfrom her seat without minding me clicking away on my smartphone.

“HeySana. Is there anything you’d like to say to your first-year highschool self?”

“Eh?Maybe ‘try harder for your training’ or something like that.”

“Training?Ahhh. breast enhancement training!”

“Sa-Sanais heading out now!”

Andthere she goes.

Ididn’t know you did that kind of stuff, Sana.

Inconclusion, her breasts are still flat as ever; a truly saddeningfuture.

However,I’m curious about what Sana was saying before.

Speakingof graduation, my goal was to be with Hiiragi-chan after I graduated.

Sinceit would be bad if we were caught, we agreed to secretly date until Igraduated.

Despitethat, I was uneasy and Hiiragi-chan was sad?

Iboldly tried calling her phone.

“…Hello?”

Throughthe phone was a slightly cautious voice; it was Hiiragi-chan.

“Hello,it’s Seiji Sanada. Good morning, Haruka-san.”

“Goodmorning. It has been awhile, Seiji-kun.”

In thistimeline, it may have been awhile for Hiiragi-chan, but for me it hasonly been a day. Anything basic would have been fine, like “How areyou doing?”

I askedher some questions to ascertain my expectations.

“Wewere dating each other during my second year of high school,right…? By some chance, did we break up?”

“Yeah,that’s right. You don’t remember? It certainly was a big shockthough..”

“Eh,what? Did I do something wrong?”

“Youwere the one that said you were ‘tired of me’ after our first twomonths together.”

Thereis no way that I would’ve said that.

I neveronce felt like I was tired of her, ever since we started dating.

“That’swhy I became depressed, and in the end we broke up. However, even tothis moment, I still have feelings for you…”

“Ehehe,”flusteredly laughed Hiiragi-chan through the call.

Ahh, asexpected, I am still in love with this person.

“Mhm,I also-“

At thatmoment, the scenery completely changed in an instant; I was inside myschool classroom.

Thedate returned back to when I was a second-year in high school.Precisely speaking, it is Monday morning.

Nice,I’ve somehow made it back to the past.

Nowthen, there is no way that I’d say something like “I’m tired ofyou,” so what the hell happened?

As mymorning classes had ended, I headed towards the world historypreparations room as usual.

Asexpected, inside the room was Hiiragi-chan with her bento spread outperfectly above the leisure sheet for me to eat right away.

“Thisteacher has to maintain her fake face for our sake. Don’t you thinkso as well Seiji-kun?”

“Eh?Ah.. yeah..”

Asusual, I was laying my head on top of her lap whilst being fed friedchicken with chopsticks.

“Man,I sure am getting tired of this.”

I doenjoy the fried chicken, and it’s good and all, but..

“…..”

Hiiragi-chanbecame stiff and tears began to build up in her eyes.

“Hm,what’s wrong? Why are you cryi-“

Hiiragi-chanstood up regardless of me resting on her lap.”

“Ugya!?”

“Se-Seiji-kun,you idiot!”

Hiiragi-chancrying like a child, roughly opened the door and left the room.

Ah.

I saidI was tired of her just now.

Wasthis what she meaaaaaaaaaaaaant!?

“Senseiiii,I was talking about the fried chickeeeeeeeeeen!”

Ipanickingly left the world history preparations room.

Ithought of where she would’ve ran to and leaned against the wall withmy hands on my knees. Then, I heard the sound of sniffling comingfrom Hiiragi-chan’s crying.

“He’sjust a stupid high school student… Another girl must havetransferred to his class… Fueeeee~”

“You’remisunderstanding what I was talking about!”

Th-this is bad. It looks like I just made Hiiragi-chan cry in thehallway.

“An-anyways,please come back inside the room!”

Igrabbed her arm and entered back inside the world historypreparations room.

“Haruka-san,I was talking about the fried chicken, not you.”

“…Really?”

Hiiragi-chanlooked up at me with tears dampening her eyelashes and the outerparts of her eyes.

Hercrying face was also cunningly cute.

“Isthis what you’ve been normally thinking about me during the day?”

“It’swhat I’ve been thinking about the fried chicken. I wasn’t thinking ofyou like that.”

Hiiragi-chanran two, no three steps towards me and clinged onto me.

“Ifthat’s the truth, then kiss me..”

“Itold you that I won’t go that far in school…”

“Senseideclines your kiss rejection.”

Shepromptly prepared herself by closing her eyes and slightly raisingher chin.

To makeit easier to do, she elegantly puckered her lips.

Since Ihave no choice, I firmly grasped the back of her head and tightlybrought her closer to me to the point that we wouldn’t be separated. I plunged into this drawn-out war of love.

“MaybeI’ll always love Seiji-kun, so don’t let go of me..”

Tenyears later, it’s just like Hiiragi-chan said, “I’ll always loveyou.”

“Yup.”

Itilted my neck. Our flushed cheeks began to rub against each otherand the tips of our noses would bump into each other’s. Her lipswere soft and warm. I smelled the sweet scent of Hiiragi-chan’sshampoo and something mixed with it.

Icleared up the misunderstanding with Hiiragi-chan and thus was ableto continue our sweet lunch breaks together like this again.
