Bab 290: Please help me!
"Please help me, everyone..."
Yotsuba muttered, it really was a comforting spell, her tense body slowly relaxed.
However, her heart skipped a beat just the opposite.
Shinichi nodded.
"Of course, what to do depends on your intuition. My method might be as useless as what you really want to do…"
Shinichi looked at the road to the lake in the forest. Instead of hurrying up, he suddenly started doing warm-up exercises.
"Thinking about it this way, we actually often do useless work..."
"No matter how big our hopes are, there are always things that we cannot achieve with hard work. Accidents and reality always get in the way of our dreams. How far can we achieve what we want? No one is going to answer this question for us."
"So, don't ask, it's just a waste of time. Doesn't studying give you the opportunity to raise your hand and ask Sensei?"
"Just like studying, although it is not clear, there are still things to be gained during hard work. As for whether the score will be messed up, it's better to wait until the exam is over to worry about this kind of thing."
Shinichi bowed, and as soon as he pushed his toe hard, he ran towards the forest.
"So, Arrivederci! (Italian: Goodbye)"
The voice fell, and Shinichi ran with all his might, completely swallowed up by the dark forest under the surprised gazes of other students.
Yotsuba stared at her disappearing back.
(So this... Encouragement for me not to be burdened, to do whatever I want?)
(But, didn't he just say something similar to his previous meaning...)
(Although what you say is cool and makes sense, but if I hear this kind of thing often, I won't get too moved, and get bored easily, Asada-san...)
"...Next, let's do this."
Thanks to her reminder, Yotsuba had figured out what she could do now.
Then she turned to face the students and teachers who had already gathered.
Shinichi leaves in an emergency, and her sister is not by her side to complete their task.
With her back to the unfinished bonfire, under everyone's watch, she was the only one.
In front of her, there were many familiar faces, and her curious and confused eyes were focused on herself.
Neither of them had the same smile on their face.
"The bonfire is off, why only Yotsuba-chan..."
"Where are the other committee members? Wasn't everything here just now…"
"Just running away like this? Tsk, it's a shame that a good forest school has turned into this..."
(Well, can I do that?)
(That can't be done.)
Yotsuba closed her eyes, puffed out her chest, and took a deep breath.
The others looked at her curiously, and the voices of discussion gradually became quieter.
Then, she shouted at the crowd in an unprecedentedly loud voice.
"Each person--!!"
A powerful scream spread throughout the square.
All voices other than her were silenced.
Hundreds of eyes looked at her in amazement, and there was no sound everywhere, which had just created a suitable stage for her to make a statement.
Yotsuba bowed heavily, and spoke earnestly and sincerely.
"I, Nakano Yotsuba—Please help me, everyone!"
"I know it's impudent to say that, but once is enough! Just once is enough, please listen to my wish! Help everyone!!"
After she finished speaking, she felt a pain in her chest that was after her lungs were deprived of oxygen.
She couldn't make a sound, but she didn't dare to breathe.
Because now, the crowd was still silent, no one responded, and a suffocating atmosphere permeated everywhere.
The silence made every cell in her body vibrate.
It's so scary... Turns out asking other people is a very scary thing...
It turns out that expressing desires is a scary thing...
But Yotsuba was still standing there, her waist bent ninety degrees, and her bunny ear headband bent too. She stood quietly in front of the bonfire.
She didn't speak, lowered her head and closed her eyes.
She didn't know how long it took before voices finally sounded from the crowd.
"Who are you..."
It is not known who was knocked down, but no one noticed.
The first person who stood in front of Yotsuba seemed to be Ishida, right? He pushed up his glasses and spoke dryly.
"Yotsuba, you once helped me move a large stack of textbooks from the library to the classroom."
A chain reaction was triggered, Inoue beside him also followed suit.
"Yes, Yotsuba, you also helped me find the most important hairpin."
Then, the sound started to increase.
Kurosaki: "When I was injured, Yotsuba helped me to the infirmary."
Chiba: "She helped me carry sandbags."
After the front was finished, there was a sound wave from behind.
