Episode 5: Autumn's Door
Previous Event Story
Igarashi“Oh, Kouhei?”
“You’re from just now! ...And, who?”
Seimei“...? The apparition’s presence seems to be leading me here.”
Igarashi“An apparition? Also that look...Are you a medium or something?”
Kouhei“Sorry for being late, Igarashi-san—“
“…Ah. You’re here again.“
Seimei“The kid from just now huh.”
Shinbashi“I found you!”
“You’re the student who skipped school right.”
Kouhei“No, I only skipped 5 times.”
Igarashi“Kouhei, did you skip school again?”
Kouhei“...There’s just something that I hate today. I’ll properly go to school from tomorrow onwards.”
Igarashi“I see... You should tell me if you get bullied again.”
Shinbashi“Bullied...? Do you get bullied in school!?”
Kouhei“It’s an old story, I don’t really get bullied nowadays. Anyway, it doesn’t matter to you right.”
Shinbashi“Of course, it matters. As a lecturer, I want to be the student’s strength!”
Kouhei“Sigh...”
Seimei“...”
Izumi! Why do you suddenly assume that stance, what’s happening?
Seimei“The conflict might appear due to the evil spirit...”
Moran“What a dumb assumption... Of course, that’s not the case.”
“I marked you because you’re one of my target, but after hearing you, you’re less than a scammer, you’re basically just spitting out delusions.”
Seimei“What...?”
IzumiWa, wait, everyone please calm down...!
(Somehow the atmosphere turned horrible on every side... What to do)
*running footsteps*
Mikami“I made it just in time...!”
Izumi!
Mikami“Pleased to work with you today!”
Together“...?”
Mikami“...Eh, eh? Isn’t today’s shooting supposed to be here...”
Igarashi“Ah, you’re the one from earlier...”
Mikami“Yeah! Thank you for earlier. So you’re also involved in today’s shooting.”
Igarashi“Shooting?”
Mikami“Yeah. Everyone too, you’re all wearing the costumes for the shooting...Right?”
Together“...”
Kouhei“...Pu.”
Igarashi“Hahahaha!”
Moran“Sigh...”
Mikami“Eh? Eh?”
Shinbashi“Haha, everyone has their own business, it just so happens that we ended up gathering here.”
Igarashi“A mysterious coincidence huh.”
Kouhei“Geez, what the hell. Anyway, you too, you have something to do here?”
Izumi! Ye, yeah. I come by to pick up a thing that I forgot.
Moran“So, you too. Really, this story sounds like a miracle. It’s hard to believe.”
Izumi(Before we realized, the arguments and quarrels from earlier have disappeared.)
(Fufu. But the view just now, really looks like the usual Autumn Troupe...)
Igarashi“Speaking of which, have you found out more about the key from earlier?”
Izumi...! Right. Truthfully, I haven’t gotten any clue.
(Now is the chance to ask everyone at one go)
IzumiI picked up this key earlier, does anyone here know anything about it?
Kouhei“No, it’s not mine.”
Moran“I don’t know.”
Seimei“Not that I can recall. It’s a very unusual-looking key.”
Mikami“Umm, it’s not mine either. Sorry, I can’t be of any help.”
Shinbashi“Umm, it’s not mine too.”
IzumiI see... Understood. Everyone, thank you so much.
Igarashi“A lost key, huh. I’m curious somehow. I wonder what’s supposed to be opened using that key?”
Moran“The reasonable answer should be a door isn’t it?”
Seimei“It might be a storage as well.”
Mikami“A treasure chest maybe...?”
Kouhei“There’s a possibility for it to be a vehicle key too.”
Shinbashi“Well, whatever it opens—“
“What awaits it in the future has to be decided by the person who opens it.”
Seimei“...Ah. Ultimately, a key marks the beginning after all.”
Izumi
Igarashi“Then, we’ll be going for soccer practice now, I guess this is goodbye.”
Shinbashi“Yeah, good luck. You too, you’re going to school tomorrow right.”
Kouhei“Understood.”
Shinbashi“Then, I’ll be going back too. I still have some papers to mark.”
Moran“...I’ve completed the request. I shall go back to Sensei’s place.”
Seimei“The presence of the apparition has disappeared as well...I guess I should promptly return.”
“Young lady, thank you for your guidance.”
IzumiYou’re welcome.
Mikami“...Excuse me.”
IzumiHmm?
Mikami“That key’s owner, please look for him.”
“Perhaps, just like me, there might be someone out there who is in trouble after losing it.”
Izumi...Yeah, understood.
Izumi(In the end, I still don’t know anything about that etude...)
Ultimately, a key marks a beginning. It’s up to you to decide what to do ahead of it...
(Anyway, the stance to open up the path using your own power, that sounds like Autumn Troupe alright.)
(The thing that this key will open in the future, I wonder what it will be)
Alright, I’ll continue to look for the owner of this key...
...Ah. Oops, I forgot about the magazine.
(But when I thought about the etude earlier, I’m sure he contacted me because he knows, it’s Banri-kun’s after all)
...I’ll go and get it later, let’s leave a LIME message for Banri-kun for now...
