Epilogue

「Mononobeee!」

「……Iris, what is it all of a sudden?」

My name was called with a strangely high tension and intonation, so I frowned and turned around.

What entered my eyes were a beautiful girl running toward me with a wide smile.

Her silver long hair shined from the morning sunlight shining from the corridor’s window. Her abundant breasts were jiggling with each step.

Everyone of Brunhilde class was living together in Mitsuki’s lodging house. It wasn’t that special for us to meet in the corridor at early morning like this.

But──Iris always slept late. It was undoubtedly abnormal for her to have woken up at six in the morning.

「You see, saying Mononobeee like that sounds a bit better isn’t it? I noticed it when taking a bath yesterday but, when doing it……yelling Mononobeee loudly like this makes me feel energetic.」

Iris raised her fist to the sky and yelled my family name like a cheering yell in a festival.

「……Sorry but I can’t empathize with that.」

I answered while feeling headache. I even harbored a doubt that perhaps I was still dreaming.

「Eee, even though I think it’s really niceee. You try it once too Mononobe. Come one, one twoo!」

「Why do I have to yell my own family name huh……or rather, Mitsuki will also dislike it if she hear it.」

I brought up my little sister who had the same family name like me, but Iris tilted her head in puzzlement.

「Mitsuki-chan told me that it’s nice you know? After that she said that she has work to do and went away though……」

「No, she obviously dislike it. I myself don’t feel really good with it so don’t do that anymore.」

「No wayyy……even though I want to adopt it for Brunhilde class’s group yell in the coming sports festival to increase our solidarity……」

「What kind of class will do that! That will make our group get called Mononobe group the next day if we do that.」

「Mononobe group……that sounds nice!」

「It’s not.」

I bluntly asserted that and pointed at the jersey I was wearing.

「I’m going to do my morning jogging now. Can I go already?」

My training time would run out if I kept conversing pointlessly here. It was unexpectedly difficult to keep my body from dulling in this peaceful island.

「Ah, could it be special training for the sports festival?」

「Wrong. It’s my daily training. I’m doing it everyone. You don’t know?」

「Ah……nope. I’m always sleeping in until just a moment before breakfast after all……that’s right-! Mononobe──can I come with you?」

Iris who scratched her head in embarrassment grabbed my hand tightly.

「For jogging?」

「Yes, I want to do my best in the sports festival……also, I’m eating Mitsuki-chan’s delicious sweets everyday so I’m worried with my weight……」

「Nnn……」

To be honest, my training’s efficiency would drop if I matched my pace with Iris. But Iris stared up at me while fidgeting when she saw me hesitating.

「As I thought……it’s no good? I’ll be a bother?」

「──No, I get it. Then let’s go.」

I sighed and started walking toward the entrance.

「Mononobe, thank you! Jogging in the morning feels like something good isn’t it?」

Iris happily walked at my side. She stared at the morning scenery from the corridor’s window.

「Then, will you run together with me every day from now?」

「Uu……I’m really happy that you invite me but……it might be impossible for me to wake up in this time every day.」

It seemed that she had the self-awareness that she was a sleepyhead. Iris’s shoulders dropped in dejection.

「Well, that’s true. But, how can you wake up this early today in that case?」

I remembered my first question and asked Iris.

「Aaa……right, about that……」

Iris’s gaze wandered around before she clenched her fist and thrust it toward the sky.

「Moononobeee!」

「W-what’s with you so suddenly. Or rather stop that already.」

「Ahaha……sorry. But, I need just a bit more energy no matter what.」

Iris said that and walked to in front of me. She stared at me with a serious expression.

「I think you don’t remember it Mononobe, but today is a special day for me. That’s why I want to meet Mononobe earlier than anyone else today.」

「A special day……」

Nothing hit home even after she told him that. Today wasn’t the birthday of either of them, and it was also an ordinary weekday without any event.

However seeing Iris’s expression that was filled with expectation, he thought and thought──he finally realized.

「Aa, I see. Today is──」

I stared back at Iris and murmured. I remembered. There was no way I would forget it.

What crossed my mind was the figure of a beautiful girl who appeared at the beach.

That day one year ago, I didn’t know anything about her until that moment.

Both of us each walked a life that wasn’t involved with each other at all, so that was only natural.

However the path we walked from there overlapped.

Even though we should be strangers, it became natural for us to be at each other’s side.

When I realized her smile was always there.

Of course even now──.

「Do you remember?」

「──Time pass really quickly.」

When I answered like that at Iris’s question, she happily smiled.

「Yep, you’re right. Mononobe……thank you for meeting me this day one year ago.」

「What’s that……is it really something that you need to thank me for?」

It was too embarrassing that I averted my gaze and scratched my cheek.

「Yep, it is.」

However Iris affirmed it clearly, so I also resolved myself. I met Iris’s gaze and inhaled.

「I too……am glad that I met you Iris.」

But I couldn’t endure any further than that, so I patted Iris’s head to cover up my shyness.

「Eheheee」

Iris moved herself to rub her head on my head while looking truly happy from the bottom of her heart.

「This is a rare chance, so let’s run until the beach today. Come to think of it, that time your swimsuit was washed away Iris──」

I tried to talk about the past memory, but Iris turned bright red and covered my mouth with her hands.

Like this, our special ordinary day began.
