The Happiness That The Shinigami Gave Me - V2 Chapter 15
Volume 2 Chapter 15
The beauty of the reflected orange hue of twilight on the surface of the river gave me a sense of melancholy.
Suzuno and I leaned on the wall on the bank of the Tamagawa River.
In the end, Suzuno’s mother never came back, and Suzuno ended up having to attend the meeting by herself.
After she was done, we left the school gate together. “I don’t want to go home,” Suzuno said while we were walking side by side.
And so, we went to the Tamagawa River.
“Sorry for earlier. I did something unnecessary.”
It must have been tough for her to drag her mother to school together with her. The thing that I did completely ruined all her efforts.
She went out of her way to talk back to her mother for me, but that was foolish. She just put herself in a worse position than before. Like it or not, she still had to deal with her again when she went back home.
Hearing my apology, Suzuno shook her head.
“Don’t apologize. Honestly, I feel a little better now.”
She continued her words calmly.
“That was the first time I’ve ever talked back to her like that. Until now, I’ve never had the courage to do it. I always thought that things won’t end well for me, but I was wrong…”
The damp breeze caressed her hair.
“In the end, she just treated me like a nuisance as usual. Nothing had changed. She really doesn’t care about what I think or say.”
“…Mm.”
“I understand her better now. It feels refreshing.”
“Really?”
Was that really how she felt? She wasn’t just telling me this to make me feel better, right?
“I doubt that I’d be feeling this way if you weren’t by my side at that time though, Yamaoka-kun…”
Her gaze was fixed on the river as she said that to me.
“‘Thank you for giving birth to Suzuno-san,’ I’ve never felt so happy after hearing that…”
She recounted that line with an embarrassed look. Like the surface of the river, her eyes were shimmering.
“You know, whenever June comes, I always feel depressed. All the bad feelings always catch up to me during this time. The fact that I’m all alone, the fact that no one needs me… Why do I even exist? There’s no point of me being born at all. During this time of the year, my heart is always filled with those feelings…”
“Mm…”
“But your words just now… ‘Thank you for giving birth to Suzuno-san.’”
Her words stopped there.
Something trickled down her cheeks. Each drop reflected the twilight sun, glittering like gold.
As I was watching the scene, I racked my brain, trying to come up with something to say to her.
Ah, right. There was that.
