CH 72

Anyway, as a precaution, I will be in the hospital today and tomorrow.

Well, I can go back to school the day after tomorrow, just in time for my school attendance. And now, my parents just came home, and I’m sitting alone on the bed in the hospital room at night, playing with my phone.

This, this is going to be great…

In addition to the worried messages from Karen, Sayaka, and others, I’ve been receiving messages from my part-timer manager and others. This is the first time I’ve received lines from so many people all at once.

Especially, I was tilting my head to the side, wondering how the part-timers whom I hadn’t contacted yet knew about today’s event.

No, I think it’s really great…

What happened at the festival today, I didn’t expect it to be on the net news.

No, that’s not it, but it’s more important than that…

I thought taking pictures of the event was forbidden, but maybe some idiot was secretly taking pictures of the event all the time.

No way, no way, seriously, no way.

The whole story of how I ended up in this situation has been spread all over social networking sites such as Twitter, tiktok, youtube, etc., and it’s a huge mess…

In short, the whole story of how I jumped off the rooftop and fell to the ground as if I was chasing after Hirose is spreading.

When I found this out just a while ago, I was surprised to see it.

And I can’t help but think, looking at it objectively.

Once again, it’s amazing…

I’m surprised I’m still alive, and Hirose is unharmed.

Something like this…

It’s really a miracle.

Anyway. This is amazing.

The video seems to be getting a lot of comments and reactions…

[ This boy is too cool. I bet this girl is in love with him later.]

[ I can’t see his face clearly in this video, but he’s definitely handsome. I’m sure of it. A beautiful couple will be born? ]

I think there are a lot of comments like this.

I really wish you would stop… Seriously, just stop…

Especially this kind of comment on a guy who is not handsome at all.

This isn’t good. I’m getting too stand out for my own good.

If someone at school were to jokingly announce my face, I’m sure this compliment would quickly turn into a swear word because of the gap between the ideal and the reality… No, really.

And will Hirose-san fall in love with me……?

No, she won’t. No, no. A woman like her who embodies a popular girl and a guy like me… Absolutely not. Even if you put today into the equation, it’s clearly not a good match. If I were really good-looking, maybe there would be such a world, but unfortunately, the reality is different…

[ This guy is amazing. If he hadn’t jumped into her with such force and shifted the trajectory of his fall, she would have been dead head-first on the ground for sure. ]

[ And he’s obviously falling on his own back to protect this girl. Is this from a comic book? Isn’t that cool? ]

But to be honest, I don’t feel bad about this kind of comment.

I don’t mean anything deep, but it makes me feel a little embarrassed…

[ But is the boy really alive? The girl’s information is available, but not the boy’s. ]

[ No, the man’s body is also reported to be alive on the net news. I don’t think he’s intact, though ]

But still, I’m so glad. I’m alive.

But it’s really a miracle to replay the video again. And I didn’t do any festival-like things at all, but it’s a festival that I’ll never forget.

And now, I got a line from an acquaintance from junior high school…

Oh no. This is what people mean when they can’t stop hearing the notification. This is probably the last time in my life.

Oh, another notification… this time from my parents.

What’s up? Did you leave something here on your way home?

[ Sota, you’re amazing. You’ll be on TV the day after tomorrow. National news. Look, they want you and that cute little Hirose you saved to be interviewed. I just got a call from the school, and mother’s happy to oblige. That’s great. That’s really great. ]
