Another Arcadia Online

Pearl and lichen came to visit us this time after the teacher left.

"Misaki, Mizuki told me about you. Remember, I'm back."

"What? What's that?

Zhuzhou asks me with a laugh. I nodded.

"Well, it doesn't matter if I get my memory back. Never mind."

"What, you had amnesia...?

"Don't you know the lichen?

"I knew about bullying... but I don't know about amnesia..."

Didn't you tell the lichen that much?

It feels like I've known since I healed that I have amnesia too, and it's closer that I couldn't say it than I didn't say it.

"Well, there was a lot going on and my memory was just a little missing. So, Misaki. The truth is, what do you think of us?

"... can't you just trust me for a second"

"I knew...... But, well, I'm just glad."

"But when I think about it again, it was sweet, and I believe it because I found out there was no lie or falsehood."

……

"I mean Pearl State. How long have you been able to use the hard word missing?

"... even I can use that much! Don't be silly!

Because Zhuzhou never used that word!

When did it get messed up if it wasn't for the missing or the sturdy word! Or something like that! That would surprise me! Because I thought you seemed smart!

"People have been worried about me, and it looks okay when it's like that!

"Ha ha. It's not that much anymore."

"I hope you're stronger, but come on......! Misaki, I'm not stupid anymore, am I?

"Author of ancient ponds and frogs jumping water sounds"

"What...? Outside Mori?"

You're an idiot.

"It's Matsuo Basho... This is a preliminary one..."

"Yes, that one was just unwell. Next!"

"Author of the Detailed Path in the Back"

"Fujimura Shimazaki!

"It's Matsuo Basho again..."

Is it really okay at this rate?

I guess I haven't studied yet. I worry too much about a lot of things and I'm worried about this one the other way around...... You okay? You want me to tell you in Sparta?

"It's going to be the same answer, cunning!

"It's both preliminary..."

I've already learned them both for junior high.

I wish you knew about this. Do you only review the high school range? No, but Matsuo Basho seems like a lot of bad things if you don't know...

"Mmmm... because I'm going to study more and go over Misaki!

"Whoa. Come on."

"Looks like you can afford it..."

"There's no way you can beat Pearl State?

"I can see how you're gonna regret it now!

No, no, no.

There's no way I'm gonna lose. You know I'm not the kind of person to scratch my talents, either, right? In the first place, it's like I'm carrying a handful right now, right?

I'm studying, too, and I'd be more ashamed of myself if I lost.

"... have you changed your personality?

"This is what Misaki was originally like, isn't it?

"No, it felt like something blew out..."

"Uh..."

I feel like I know.

I don't care about my anger anymore. Even if you're angry in the first place, you shouldn't carry it that far. After enough fighting, my anger will be over by now.

I don't know, 'cause I'm tired of being angry.

"It feels more like I'm out of anger than blown out"

"That kind of thing?

"It's easier than before. And maybe I have absolute trust in this attitude."

……

I can tell.
