Chapter 46: Megumi Yakushiji 4.5
Aww! He looked at me again. Are you hungry, little guy?
So cute!
Look at his fluff. He looks so soft!
Ooh, you’re right! Aww! He looked at me again! (loop)
That’s right, drink it up, cat.
Acting all high and mighty last night… I bet he just likes the attention.
Music: Feeling Left Out (Composer: Azusa Chiba, Arranger: Mitsuhiro Kaneda)
Yeah… Me too.
Morning! I’ll catch up with you guys in a bit.
You’re my friend too. Or did you forget that?
I noticed something the other day. It was how unusually quiet your room was. So, you can understand my surprise… when I saw that all your things were gone.
Right… I’m sorry for not saying anything.
It’s okay. It just kinda feels like a waste… Not taking advantage of the apartment Shikishima got for us. Then again, they *are* Showa-era buildings. So I guess they’re not that great.
This is blatant timeism and I will not stand for it!
Where are you living now?
Oh, um… At Juro Kurabe’s house.
Hold up, you’re living with him? Seriously? You have Morimura’s permission for that, right?
Well, probably…
That’s code for “no.”
…… You’ve changed, Megumi.
You think so?
You’ve been way more proactive since you came here. Which is a good thing and all, it’s just… Well, you know he’s not…
Since the day Juro showed up… No matter how much the world might change… I decided that I would always be by his side.
…… Oh, sheesh, Megumi… But I get it. I’ll help any way I can. We’re friends, you know? You can talk to me about anything.
Not about this!
Oh, right. Thank you…
We’re gonna be late.
I don’t deserve your friendship. I hope one day you can forgive me…
Nothing big, just shooting your friend with sufficiently advanced technology.
Further down the hall, we see Tomi emerge from 1-B.
I changed my mind on the melon pan. Make it a chocolate cornet instead!
Oh, come on…
Okay, I’ll be waiting!
So Iori wanted… Egg pan? No, it was an egg sandwich and strawberry milk. And for Miwako… Yakisoba pan and melon pan. No, wait. Not melon pan. She wanted a cornet… Hm? So counting mine, I need two cornets? I also wanted a tuna sandwich… Ohh, with milk and a tea to drink.
Hey, Megumi. I lost at rock, paper, scissors. So I have to get stuff for everyone from the cafeteria. Man, I’m the one who suggested it too.
If you don’t hurry, they’re gonna run out.
I’m tired of the chaos buying a piece of bread brings. From today on, I’ll only have nice, relaxing bentos from Mom.
Look at this nerd! Momma’s boy!
Oh, good timing.
Hey…
Hey, wait! I need to buy something too.
Ugh, fine. What do you want?
Oh, uh… Anpan.
(For those who didn’t know like me, Anpan is a sweet roll filled with red bean paste.)
Huh, but wait…
I’m not a big candy guy, so have at it.
…Nenji, you chivalrous rascal. 
I’ll get yours too. Keep holding that.
Use Magical Gun on Tomi Kisaragi
…
(If I see her face, there’s no way I’ll be able to do it. I have to shoot her when she’s not looking.)
Megumi, stop imagining shooting people in front of Nenji. It’s a weird habit to get into.
Huh? You trying to buy bread too, Megumi?
Y-Yeah…
Oh, no. I’m still looking.
If you don’t decide son, there’s gonna be nothing left. Okay.
Once more into the breach!
Use Magical Gun on Tomi Kisaragi
Tomi stumbles out of the mass of students.
Are you okay?
……
Just hang on… Don’t push yourself.
Anpan…
Do you need me to take you to the nurse’s office?
The cafeteria…?
Oh, right. Rock, paper, scissors… Hmm… What else did I need to buy? Uhh…
Wait, we’re going to the front gate? It’s still lunch!
Oh, okay, we did wait until school actually ended to leave.
Oh shit.
Music: Bleak Pressure (Kikuchi Yukinori)
You did something to Kisaragi in the cafeteria, didn’t you?
Hm? I’m not sure what you’re talking about.
And this isn’t just about Kisaragi.
*sharp intake of breath*
Huh?
Is that right?
If you don’t leave me alone, I’ll call for help.
It was her.
Dun dun dun…
I figured we should probably check out the updates to the “Magical Gun” file now as well.
We add a new blue line signifying that Megumi has shot Tomi to update the board.
