Chapter 67
It was just an accident with no ulterior motive
My father was a police officer .
He used to protect the safety of the citizens and was kind to everyone in his surroundings .
His co-workers and the citizens themselves trusted him deeply .
He had so clumsy sides as well, but for , my father was my aspiration .
However, one day and all of a sudden, he disappeared .
After he went to his work in the morning like usual, he never ca back again .
Once his acquaintances knew about that fact, they all started to frantically look for him .
His co-workers and the people he looked after in the past went all together to search for him, but in the end, the result was still the sa .
Because of that, my mom sorrowed intensely .
Probably because I was there, she always cried alone in her room .
But she eventually got over it and decided to continue living together with .
My father is still missing until now .
Nobody knows where he disappeared, but sohow, I still think that he’s alive .
(I wonder why I feel as if my father is still alive sowhere...)
Although I don’t have any proof .
Thinking about that, I casually recalled sothing that happened to in the past .
(Yeah, that did happen...)
I don’t rember when it happened exactly .
One day, I had an urge to go to a shop where my mom and I used to frequent together .
At that ti, I decided to go there alone without telling my mom, thinking that I already know the way .
Of course, there was no way I’d rember the path to the shop and beca lost .
I choose to go back from the sa way I ca from, but I couldn’t make it at all . Feelings of unease and loneliness gradually accumulated .
Nobody was around and I had no idea about where I was .
The sky beca darker than usual and I kept walking down the sa path, alone .
“Mom, Dad, where am I...”
I called my parents with a frail voice .
Rubbing my teary eyes, I continued to walk the strange path, inside the strange scenery . At that ti only the fact that I’m alone in an unknown place was frightening .
At the mont when I was about to give up and halt my steps—
“Found you”
My father found .
“Dad...?”
“Are you okay, Sayaka? Did you get hurt anywhere?”
Not getting mad at leaving the house alone, My father gently brushed the crown of my head .
I probably made him run around for a long ti .
His forehead didn’t stop flowing from sweat .
Receiving his tender words, all the feelings I was pressing inside got unchained, making shed all the tears I was blocking in my eyes .
“It’s okay now, I’m with you . ”
Gently hugging close to him, he whispered in my ears .
I could feel his warmth and consideration for at that ti .
After I cried for a little longer and then stopped, we held hands and went back ho .
When we returned ho I was scolded by my mom, though those were good mories in themselves .
(I miss those days...)
Closing my eyes, I remained to recall the good old days .
At that ti, it wasn’t only my father who went to look for . The neighbors did also run around the town, so I had to go apologize to them later . I was kinda happy knowing that everyone was worried about .
Opening my eyes, Kamiya-kun’s sleeping face entered my vision leading to think about sothing else .
(Sohow, I think Kamiya-kun and my father are kind of similar...)
Not on the scale of the face or personality, but in the ambiance they give off and the way they help people out .
Despite looking lazy all the ti, he still saved nurous tis .
That’s why I found myself comparing him to my father .
Even the other day, when I t with Akuya-kun for the first ti in a while and he ca to help out .
“Don’t worry, I’m here with you . ”
The way he told that while smiling overlaid with the figure of my father saying the sa thing .
It felt almost as if I was supported by both Kamiya-kun and my father at the sa ti .
(I’m getting saved all the ti here...)
I felt slightly tired of myself that’s getting saved all the ti, but for now, I can’t think of any way to directly save Kamiya-kun .
That can’t be helped, but I feel that there’s sothing that even I can do .
Even though that sothing wouldn’t help him in a direct way, I’d still do my best .
“Thank you, Kamiya-kun . ”
I softly whispered to the sleeping Kamiya-kun .
For now, that is all that I can say . However, once the day where I will beco able to help him cos, I’d definitely save him .
And once I make up my resolve I will tell him about it .
About how I feel .
“N, nn......”
Getting disturbed by my whisper, Kamiya-kun slightly moved .
Startled by that sudden move, I stiffened in my position, with my face close to him .
That’s probably the reason .
The reason that made the unexplainable accident that was about to happen, unavoidable .
As he kept stirring restlessly, his lips touched with mine .
“!!!???!!!?”
I got thunderstruck for a mont after that, but imdiately raised my face that has turned bright red .
I was about to scream at that point, but I barely restrained my voice to not wake him up, resulting in a weird sound leaving my mouth .
(Eh? D-Did we just K-K-Kiss?!)
My body started heating up from the unimaginable developnt .
I felt almost as if my head started emitting vapor and I lost my power to think clearly .
There was no possible way I’d be able to think decently in such a situation .
My eyes began turning round and round .
(E, No, w-wait, w-what should I do?!! I didn’t expect things to turn out like this! I-It’s not like I didn’t like it, but, no, I’m actually happy about it, I did it, but... But, I prefer if we did that after knowing about each other, w-we’re not even dating . A-Also, there must be a better situation than this... Just, what am I talking about!!?)
I covered my face with my hands and shook my head left and right .
I didn’t have an idea about what I was thinking about, but one single thing was clear for .
I kissed Kamiya-kun, accidentally .
That truth was enough to make lose my sense .
Remaining in the anguish of the embarrassnt and my own wild delusions, I waited for Kamiya-kun to wake up .
(Let’s keep this a secret . )
That was the only decision I ca up with while suffering alone .

Bonus
I didn’t do anything .
“By the way, Saya-dono, did sothing happen while I was away?”
“Eh? what, why?”
“Ah, no, it’s just that although he’s unconscious, you never know what might happen . You sure nothing happened?”
“Eh?...... N-O-T-H-I-N-G ...”
“Why are you talking in monotone? Did sothing actually happen? Ha!! Did he do sothing to you?”
“He didn’t do anything!! Rather it’s...”
“So sothing did really happen!”
“Please, stop asking that...”
“No, but...”
“If you asked again, I won’t forgive you...”
“I get it . I won’t ask you again . So stop looking at with those scary eyes . ”
