"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Hasebe, who had been waiting for Miyake at the entrance, taps him lightly on the shoulder.
"No, I wasn't waiting that long. I'm bored anyway. "
Hasebe missed a week of school but has been seen at school every day since
then.
"Are you really fine with quitting the archery club?"
"It's like I was just coasting along to begin with."
"It's my fault, isn't it?"
"That's not true. I only quit because I wanted to quit. It's better that you're coming to school now."
She participated in only the five lowest events at the sports festival.
She left nothing behind, but at the very least, she contributed to the class.
However, she rarely speaks to anyone other than Miyake, and is somewhat estranged from Yukimura, who agreed to expel Sakura from the school.
Miyake continues to stand by her side without saying a word, as if this is something that can't be helped.
"At first, I thought I was going to destroy everything. I thought I should get back at not only Kiyopon, but also all the classmates who abandoned Airi. They're the bad guys, aren't they?"
"No, .... I know how you feel."
"Someone had to be expelled in that situation. But it was supposed to be Kushida. That was the initial agreement, so that was the right thing to do instead. Isn't that right?"
"... Yeah."
"I do not forgive Kiyopon. I don't forgive my classmates. But I thought it was wrong to keep dragging them down and making them suffer."
She confesses to Miyake a silent answer that goes through all of her thoughts and feelings.
"Hey, Miyachi. Can you help me with my one-time-only revenge?" "Miyake could tell from her yes that she was serious and he did not have the
courage to ask back what she really meant." "Haruka...."
"Oh, hahaha it's just a joke."
She laughs to cover it up and starts to walk away. "I'll take my revenge on my own."
"I..."
Hasebe's hand was reached out and pulled back. She turns her back and walks away.
Miyake, while showing hesitation, silently followed her back and began to walk away.
Afterword
It's been a long time, or it's nice to meet you. My name is Syougo Kinugasa.
This is a serious postscript.
I am sure you have already noticed this.
After five years, "Yojitsu no sequel TV anime" will be produced and broadcasted.
Although this is a very short story, there was a lot of hard work and suffering that led up to this announcement.
More than once, I almost stopped writing.
I may never be able to make an animated film again. There were times when I
was driven by such anxiety.
However, the reason I have been able to continue writing without any disruption to the pace of publication until today is because of the support I have received from many readers, even after the anime ended in 2017.
Without this long and significant achievement, we would never have been able to re-animate the story.
As a writer, I have never been so happy and grateful for a sequel. Thank you so very, very much. And let me say this strongly.
I, more than anyone else, have been waiting for the sequel to Yojitsu for a long, long time.
It was roughly two years ago that the idea of "the first time we saw a new product" came up.
This is it!
However, due to a worldwide virus, it took longer than we had expected.
We are happy that we were able to make the announcement without incident.
We will do our best to connect the original story with the real story. There are still many stories to tell, but this is the end of my postscript.
It has been a long time, but I am looking forward to seeing the growth of Ayanokoji and his friends again.
Can't you just finish the anime already? Hey! Hey, what?
Well, that's the thing. ... Kyahhhhhhhhh! We did it!
We hope you all will continue to support us in the future. !!!!!
