I (30), Who Works for a Black Company and Died While Regretting My Gloomy Life, Started Over From High School!

Chapter 160: With My Classmates at the School

(Bonus chapter 1/3 By anonymous)

The time was lunch break.

The gathering began at the crowded school cafeteria tables.

Now then! Id like to start this celebration of Harukas return, organized by the beach-goers!

Although she looked like a serious student council president, Kazamihara Mizuki, a super easy-going girl with glasses, commanded, and everyone, including me, applauded.

Oh gosh, Ive been wishing for a day like this, Haruka! Its seriously touching! Sniff Im really moved!

Well, congratulations on getting out of the hospital, Shijouin-san. Not just us here, but the classmates in our class were pretty worried too.

The always lively Fudehashi Mai, with her short-cut hair, expressed her joy with slightly teary eyes, and Yamahira Ginji, my otaku friend whos also the epitome of an innocent virgin when it comes to girls, comforted her.

Everyone Thank you so much! Um I was a little worried that I might be forgotten while I was absent from school Uh, Im really glad to have friends like you all!

Haruka, who hadnt had friends for a long time, seemed to be very happy about this return celebration proposed by Fudehashi. She was even a little teary-eyed.

(Im really glad I was able to bring Haruka back here )

While being on the verge of tearing up from the gentle atmosphere of youth, I remembered what happened in the classroom this morning.

Since Harukas hospitalization schedule was almost filled with rehabilitation and time with family, Kazamihara and Fudehashi also refrained from visiting the hospital, just like me.

So, Kazamihara and Fudehashi met the energetic Haruka for the first time in a while in the classroom this morning And both of them cried like puppies. They were both in a state of mental breakdown like me, and the students around us were also slightly teary-eyed.

(Im really glad these guys became friends with Haruka. )

After that, the morning schedule ended, and thus, a modest celebration of Harukas return was held during lunchtime.

Surrounded by lunchboxes and cafeteria food at the cafeteria tables, it was a small event of picking juice and snacks but it would probably be the most delightful thing for Haruka.

But seriously, having Shijouin-san around and not is a huge difference Especially these three getting back to their usual selves, its really a relief.

Huh? Were the three of them not doing well while I was gone?

Asked Haruka, puzzled, in response to Ginjis heartfelt words.

Oh yeah, definitely Kazamihara-san and Fudehashi-san were both really down and became very quiet. Well, of course, the most problematic was, without a doubt, Niihama.

Yeah, heh. We were pretty gloomy ourselves, but Niihama-kun was on a worrying level. I mean, seriously, he looked like he was on deaths doorstep?

And for the first few days, his face was as pale as a zombie. Now its funny, but at the time, we were seriously worried he might just keel over.

W-was that so!?

Although its embarrassing to hear about that time its mostly accurate.

Right after Haruka collapsed, it felt like I was falling from a deep cliff, a never-ending despair engulfing my heart. It shocked both my classmates and my family quite a bit.

Well, um I was just really worried

Shinichirou-kun

As I confessed with a sense of embarrassment, Haruka smiled happily. Thank you for worrying about me that smile seemed to convey, and it was so lovely that it made me blush even more.

But, Ive heard you both call each other by your names I mean, youre hiding it in front of the others, right?

Ah, this is the first time youve seen it, Yamahira-kun. Apparently, it happened during that beach incident. In other words, its our achievement.

Seriously, its like weve forgotten the times when we used to call each other by our last names.

As the three of them sent me warm, grinning looks, I thought, theyre saying whatever they want but at the same time, it felt kind of nostalgic.

Its been so long since we were all gathered at school like this, and its been even longer since they teased me like this.

Now then, originally, the purpose of this gathering was to chat cheerfully about how Haruka was doing during her hospitalization, and the things that happened in class while she was away but it seems like well have to put all of that on hold for now. Theres clearly something else that should be the top priority on the agenda.

Huh?

Kazamihara suddenly announced, and I didnt quite understand her intent.

However, Ginji and Fudehashi seemed to take her words as a matter of course, nodding in agreement.

So, Id like to hear about how Niihama-kun and Haruka became a couple.

What!?

Huh!?

Kazamiharas words were thrust upon us unexpectedly, and both Haruka and I were taken aback.
