Test time is over. I scanned the OMR answer sheet. There don’t seem to be any marking mistakes, and the description seems to have been written without mistakes.

It’s good that exam day ends quickly, but it’s not good in many ways. Should I say that I feel left out during break time? Since it’s an exam, it’s impossible to take a cell phone and do anything else, and Yumina is so nervous about the exam that she won’t even talk to her. He says that since he graduated from home, his grades should be good, but still, being second in the school is a good enough grade, so he should live comfortably. It’s for no reason.

In the classroom, kids talk about how they slept without studying yesterday, and secretly brag that their grades will be the same as usual after taking tests without studying. My mouth is itchy because I slept really well and took the test, but no one asks questions. I have no friends. The world is so unreasonable that even showing off requires having friends.

I feel like I’m spending my school days wrong. Shouldn’t we be spending our youth with Sharala and something fun? When I imagine it, nothing comes to mind, but something like that… … . Ah, I lack imagination.

The bell rang and the teacher took the answer sheet and left. Is this the end of this midterm exam? Yumina, who seemed relieved that the test was over, came up to me with a smile and took the test paper without saying a word.

When Yumina waved her hand in front of the lectern, the test paper fluttered.

“Who wants to see the answer key with me?!”

That’s not correct. The kids rushed over with their test papers and graded them. For some reason, the test paper seems to be more popular than the main text. Isn’t this also Jugaekjeon? I’m sure it wasn’t like this at the beginning of the semester, but I guess it’s because I didn’t make any friends because it was annoying.

The situation ended when the homeroom teacher brought the real answer sheet. The homeroom teacher finished the ceremony with a few words, returned the cell phones, posted the answer sheet in front of the classroom, and left. It’s good because it’s fast. I can go home now.

Yumina looked at the answer sheet for a moment and then came to give it back. The test paper I received back was a little tattered. You worked hard.

“Do you have time, my lady?”

“I’m going home.”

If you refuse outright, you will be in trouble. Oh my. I folded the test paper and put it in my bag.

“It’s because I have a favor to ask.”

“say it.”

“Laplace is sick, so I have to work in his place today, but there is no one to take care of him.”

“So, nursing?”

“huh.”

This is a very annoying request.

“Is there anyone else?”

“The location of the house is insecure, so I don’t have a good person to ask for.”

“Do you have any friends among magical girls?”

“You know. But since Laplace is the district general manager, if you ask him to take care of the sick, it won’t be a favor.”

It’s a real pain when you’re asked to take care of your boss’ illness. It’s okay to refuse, but I don’t want to say yes.

However, this does not mean that this party will provide nursing care for the patient. As I left the classroom without any response, Yumina blurted out something.

“If you don’t like it, don’t.”

When I looked at my face and saw that my mouth was sticking out from the listless words.

“upset?”

“It’s not.”

I guess I’m sad.

“Okay, okay. It’s not that difficult, but I’ll do it. You don’t have to take care of me for a few days, right?”

“I just need one day. I’m planning on taking care of it today and freeing up my schedule for a few days.”

“It’s easy.”

Yumina sighed as if she had been idle for a while. If you look at it, life is really hard to live.

“Rather than that, I felt like I lacked youth during my school days. What was the problem?”

“Our young lady lacks love.”

“That doesn’t help.”

* * *

Yumina took the lead and opened the door. When I entered the bedroom, I saw Laplace sleeping on the bed. I’ve been hearing a lot about people being sick lately, so I’ve decided to take care of them. Did Yumina die once and turn back time?

“Even if it’s nursing, there won’t be much to do. You can take care of what you need, and I’ve prepared porridge and rice for lunch and dinner, so the dead Laplace can eat it and you can eat the food. I’ll be here before 9 o’clock at the latest, so I’ll ask you to wait until then.”

Yumina looked at the sleeping Laplace for a moment and then left. I didn’t ask what you cooked.

I went to the kitchen and looked in the refrigerator, there was porridge and a few side dishes. Egg rolls are delicious. Of course there was rice, but I also opened the rice cooker to check. There is.

As I was closing the lid of the rice cooker, Laplace naturally came into the kitchen and opened the freezer. Then he took out two ice creams and put one in his mouth. What.

“I don’t know what you heard, but it’s just a simple body ailment. Of course, I’m not in a state to need care.”

“This is absurd.”

Laplace handed me the ice cream. The red packaging probably means strawberry flavor.

“Then why did I come?”

“I know.”

As I sat down on the living room sofa, Laplace turned on the TV. The screen switched quickly, passing by entertainment programs and drama reruns before stopping at the news. I skip all the fun stuff and turn on the news.

“I guess he’s reacting loudly to the body aches because a new member died a few weeks ago.”

“This is my first time hearing this.”

“The story is that dying on Friday night helped me get my mind together over the weekend.”

Suddenly hearing something like this makes me feel uneasy. As I was about to unwrap the ice cream, I quit and got up.

“store?”

“No. I’m going to have lunch. Since I’ve been asked to do it, I’ll have to stay until I get back.”

“He’s kind in a strange way.”

It feels like something is being twisted and peeled, but I guess it’s an illusion.

I went back to the kitchen, took out some side dishes, and ate. The side dishes were quite delicious. It seems like they were concerned about not focusing solely on meat. It would be a hassle to cook your own side dishes, but you are so sincere. Oh, food delivery is not possible here due to poor security.

After finishing the meal, I returned to the living room and found Laplace lying on the floor. When I approach and tap it with my foot, there is no reaction. I lowered my head and looked at her complexion, and she was blinking normally, so our eyes met.

“Why are you doing this?”

“just.”

“You said it was just a body aches?”

“It’s a separate issue.”

I don’t understand.

“Can you move me to bed?”

Laplace blinked for a moment and then said something else.

“You’re so kind.”

Umm.

“You put it back on now, right?”

“No way.”

I was sure I was sick, but my conscience pricked me about asking the sick child any more questions, so I decided to quit. He lifted it with magic and moved it to the bedroom.

“That’s really rough.”

Since the reaction from the person concerned is not good, I am not satisfied with anything I do.

“What caused you to fall?”

“It’s a common side effect of being a magical girl.”

When it comes to side effects, the only thing that comes to mind is that every time a magical girl uses magic, her life span is shortened.

“life span?”

“that’s right.”

“I heard that even if you use it for 100 days, it won’t lose much? Have you turned back time?”

It is highly likely that Schrödinger lied, but it is still plausible that he turned back time. Schrödinger doesn’t lie though. maybe.

“It’s true that I haven’t turned back time and it hasn’t changed much. But the problem is that the dominoes fall down with just one breeze. I feel like I’m always in a state of poor health 365 days a year. Recovery is slow, the environment is not good, and it’s a painful situation due to the chronic illness.”

hmm.

“What a pity.”

“That’s an empty statement, right?”

I ask this calmly. How does he view people?

But these are empty words, so I have nothing to say. I mean, we weren’t close friends to begin with. If you suddenly say something like this, it’s more embarrassing than empathetic as to why you’re bringing this up when we’re not even close. If someone you don’t know suddenly stops you and laments about your situation while you’re walking down the street, you may feel like they’re having a hard time, but more than that, you’ll feel more at a loss as to how you can get over this situation without hurting each other’s feelings and continue on your way. If Yumina had said something like this, I would have freaked out a long time ago.

Oh, I see.

“Is Yumina like this too?”

“Did you see her use magic? She hates having her lifespan cut short, so don’t worry.”

Well then, I’m glad.

There was an awkward silence as there was nothing more to say.

“I probably won’t live long. A few months or so? It’s a feeling, so I might live longer.”

no.

“Yes, I see, yes… But why are you telling me that?”

“Then why is that so?”

Laplace thought deeply for a moment and then added:

“Do you think it will go in one ear and out the other?”

“You chose the target well.”

“I think so too. Please keep what you heard today a secret from Yumina.”

“Rather than keep it a secret, I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear anything about today. I just had a meal. More than that, I’ll give you the money, so should I send you to the hospital?”

Laplace pondered without answering. Is this something to worry about?

“I do not need.”

“And what if you die?”

“You’re going to die.”

Since you are like that, there is nothing to say. Yumina says, why do I make this guy my friend and put this team in trouble?

“First of all, I’m glad I didn’t come for nothing. No, I’m glad, right? Anyway. Do you need anything?”

“I’m starting to get hungry too, so I need to eat something. I’ll ask for rice instead of porridge.”

“Eating is a hassle, so just eat porridge.”

It’s an expression that has lost the world.

* * *

Yumina did indeed return before 9 p.m., just as she had promised to return before 9 p.m. at the latest. So, around 8:50. I must have been running, but I fell asleep as soon as I entered the front door.

“There was no need to worry about death.”

“My lady has to go to bed before 10 o’clock.”

It’s nice, but I’m having a hard time buying it.

“What about Laplace?”

“Lying on the bed.”

“Nothing major happened?”

“Something big happened.”

I’m very scared.

“What happened? Did you vomit blood?”

I have too much imagination. It’s less than that. is not it? One more?

“He says he will die in a few months.”

Laplace seemed to have heard the voice all the way to the bedroom and ran out. The sense of betrayal is palpable.

what.

Yumina interrogated Laplace, and Laplace made various excuses. The claim was that what they said was false and a simple joke.

Yumina frowned upon hearing that claim.

“You can’t make a joke like that.”

So, that is. There are things to joke about and things not to joke about.

Laplace pointed this way.

“If you have that personality, you can do that. It’s more believable than me dying in a few months. I wonder if I’ll die.”

what? Is this a fight? Are you asking me to kill you directly?

“……is it?”

Yumina seemed somehow persuaded.

hey.
