The teacher seems like an okay person despite the weird first impression I got, and the material is relatively interesting.


However, the way he teaches is really bizarre. It's as if he expects that everyone is a natural genius.

When the final bell sounds, I realize that there is still a lot of time left in the day, and I'm left wondering what to do.
"The teacher seems like an okay person despite the weird first impression I got, and the material is relatively interesting."


It's odd, at the hospital I had 24 hours a day of free time, but here filling the considerably shorter hours feels difficult.

Everyone else leaves, and I'm left alone with the teacher.

[[Akio Mutou|Mutou]] is examining the assignment sheets we were working on earlier, marking them with a red ballpen.

Raising his eyes from his papers briefly, he notices me and furrows his brow.

Mutou
"When the final bell sounds, I realize that there is still a lot of time left in the day, and I'm left wondering what to do."
"What is it, [[Hisao Nakai|Nakai]]?"


I jump at him addressing me, but I guess it's natural to spark some conversation since there is nobody else around.
"It's odd, at the hospital I had 24 hours a day of free time, but here filling the considerably shorter hours feels difficult."


Hisao
"Everyone else leaves, and I'm left alone with the teacher."
"Umm... nothing. Thinking about what I'd do after school."


The teacher slowly puts the cap on the pen he is holding and arranges his papers into a stack, clacking it against the desk twice.
"Mutou is examining the assignment sheets we were working on earlier, marking them with a red ballpen."


He seems very methodical and for a brief moment I'm reminded of [[Shizune Hakamichi|Shizune]], but the teacher is more unhurried and relaxed, much more routined.
"Raising his eyes from his papers briefly, he notices me and furrows his brow."


Mutou

"You have no plans?"
with charaenter


Hisao
MUTOU: "What is it, Nakai?"
"No. I considered joining a club, but don't know what kind of club would interest me."


Mutou
"I jump at him addressing me, but I guess it's natural to spark some conversation since there is nobody else around."
"Go observe a meeting of someone else's club. Might pique your interest."


Hisao
HISAO: "Umm... nothing. Thinking about what I'd do after school."
"I guess..."


Hisao
"The teacher slowly puts the cap on the pen he is holding and arranges his papers into a stack, clacking it against the desk twice."
"I just..."


But I don't know how to continue from there.
"He seems very methodical and for a brief moment I'm reminded of Shizune, but the teacher is more unhurried and relaxed, much more routined."


Mutou looks at me in a way that makes me quickly want to take the words back to avoid a conversation.
MUTOU: "You have no plans?"


But I can't, so I have to forge ahead.
HISAO: "No. I considered joining a club, but don't know what kind of club would interest me."


Hisao
MUTOU: "Go observe a meeting of someone else's club. Might pique your interest."
"I just don't know how to deal with people. I mean, the other students."


Hisao
HISAO: "I guess..."
"I'm talking to people and everything, so it's not that I'd be isolated or anything."


Hisao
HISAO: "I just..."
"I just don't know what to think about... the disabilities. It's like... it feels that I'm being impolite if I pay attention to them, and it's weird to ignore them."


Hisao
"But I don't know how to continue from there."
"Damned if I do, damned if I don't."


The teacher scratches his cheek absentmindedly, looking very unresponsive.

Mutou
"These things are only an issue if you make them one."


Mutou
"Mutou looks at me in a way that makes me quickly want to take the words back to avoid a conversation."
"You can talk normally with someone, even if they are blind or something."


Mutou
"But I can't, so I have to forge ahead."
"Try to look behind the superficial. There's not a single student here who isn't just a normal kid behind whatever they might seem at first glance."


He says the same thing as [[Yuuko Shirakawa|Yuuko]] did.
HISAO: "I just don't know how to deal with people. I mean, the other students."


I know they're right, but it's hard. How can you not consider for example Shizune's deafness, when the only way to communicate with her is to talk through [[Shiina Mikado|Misha]]?
HISAO: "I'm talking to people and everything, so it's not that I'd be isolated or anything."


Or [[Hanako Ikezawa|Hanako]]... it's not like you can ignore her face.
HISAO: "I just don't know what to think about... the disabilities. It's like... it feels that I'm being impolite if I pay attention to them, and it's weird to ignore them."


Hisao
HISAO: "Damned if I do, damned if I don't."
"But..."


I'm interrupted by the door of the classroom suddenly slamming open.
"The teacher scratches his cheek absentmindedly, looking very unresponsive."


Misha

"Teacher~!"


Misha crashes in, hand straight in an enthusiastic greeting, her voice loud and lively enough to wake the dead from their graves.


She starts towards the teacher's desk with her bouncing step, hands energetically swinging with the rhythm.
MUTOU: "These things are only an issue if you make them one."


Mutou, visibly dismayed at the interruption and Misha in general, slumps in his chair.
MUTOU: "You can talk normally with someone, even if they are blind or something."


Mutou
show muto smile
"Mikado."


Misha stops in her tracks and looks around cluelessly, as if she's sensing from his tone that something's wrong but has no idea what.


Misha
MUTOU: "Try to look behind the superficial. There's not a single student here who isn't just a normal kid behind whatever they might seem at first glance."
"Yes~?"


Mutou
"He says the same thing as Yuuko did."
"We have talked about volume control before."


Misha
"I know they're right, but it's hard. How can you not consider for example Shizune's deafness, when the only way to communicate with her is to talk through Misha?"
"Yes~!"


But she doesn't lower her voice at all, and the teacher just rubs his eyes.
"Or Hanako... it's not like you can ignore her face."


Mutou
HISAO: "But..."
"So, what is it?"

"Now there's like none left there, so do you know where there is some?"


Mutou
MISHA: "Teacher~!"
"I don't understand. How would I know?"


Misha
"Misha crashes in, hand straight in an enthusiastic greeting, her voice loud and lively enough to wake the dead from their graves."
"Shicchan... I mean the president thought that a teacher would know if there is plywood. Was she wrong?"


Mutou looks like he is in great pain, frowning with his entire essence, and Misha doesn't get it at all.
"She starts towards the teacher's desk with her bouncing step, hands energetically swinging with the rhythm."


Looking at the two of them communicate is terrible, like looking at a man being tortured by drilling his skull open while blasting pop music at full volume at the same time.
"Mutou, visibly dismayed at the interruption and Misha in general, slumps in his chair."


Mutou
MUTOU: "Mikado."
"I'm afraid I have no idea if there is any plywood in the school, let alone where it would be if there was any."


Misha
"Misha stops in her tracks and looks around cluelessly, as if she's sensing from his tone that something's wrong but has no idea what."
"Awww... what should I do?"


Mutou
show misha perky_confused
"Perhaps try to find Mr. [[Shinichi Nomiya|Nomiya]]? I'm quite sure he would know where to find everything you need."


Mutou
"You'd have to pry them from his cold, dead hands, but that's a different matter."


Misha
MISHA: "Yes~?"
"Aaaah! I don't have time! We're so busy!"


She holds her head with both of her hands, looking as despairing as it's possible for a person like her. Without even noticing, she crumples the note she's holding against her hair.
MUTOU: "We have talked about volume control before."


Misha
show misha perky_smile
"I shouldn't even be fetching these things, there is so much to do and we are falling behind the schedule!"


Mutou looks at her gravely and then, suddenly smiles. Smiling doesn't really fit his face. I think it'd be better if he didn't.


Mutou
MISHA: "Yes~!"
"I wonder if you could get some temporary help?"


He switches to staring at me focusedly, with a hard expression, as if trying to say "go make some friends."
"But she doesn't lower her voice at all, and the teacher just rubs his eyes."


...
MUTOU: "So, what is it?"


Hisao
show misha perky_sad
"Eehhh... I guess I can give you a hand."


Misha
"You can? Thanks, Hicchan, you are really nice!"


She pauses, does a double take and then points at me with her finger, yelping "Ah!" and looking very puzzled.
MISHA: "I... we need help! We are running out of supplies for the festival stands!"


Misha

"Come to think of it, what's Hicchan doing here? Class is over, you should be having fun~!"


Mutou
"We just had a little chat."


Misha
MISHA: "This is a distress!"
"Oh no! It's not detention is it? Are you in trouble, Hicchan?"


Hisao
"She waves a pink slip of paper she's holding around."
"No, I'm not."


Misha
MUTOU: "So... go get more supplies from the art room. What's the problem with that?"
"Is Hicchan in trouble, teacher?"


Mutou
show misha perky_sad
"No, he's not."


Mutou sighs deeply and I feel that I have to help Misha to get her off the teacher's back.


Hisao
MISHA: "Plywood! Plywood is always the problem! Last time we wanted more there was only a little, but that time we just took it all and went with that."
"So what do you need?"


Misha
MISHA: "Now there's like none left there, so do you know where there is some?"
"Here's a list. I can try to find the plywood from somewhere if there's none in the art room."


She offers me the note she's holding. I take it, hesitating a bit.
MUTOU: "I don't understand. How would I know?"


Hisao
show misha perky_confused
"I said I'd help you, but this has no implications on whether I'm joining the council or not."


Misha
"Awww..."


Misha
MISHA: "Shicchan... I mean the president thought that a teacher would know if there is plywood. Was she wrong?"
"Still, thanks, Hicchan. Try to be quick, we are in a stall-building streak now, we must hurry hurry hurry!"


She bounces out of the classroom, leaving me and the teacher looking at each other with something that feels like a silent agreement.
"Mutou looks like he is in great pain, frowning with his entire essence, and Misha doesn't get it at all."


Mutou
"Looking at the two of them communicate is terrible, like looking at a man being tortured by drilling his skull open while blasting pop music at full volume at the same time."
"Well, there you have it, Nakai. You have something to do now."


Please don't sound so smug.
MUTOU: "I'm afraid I have no idea if there is any plywood in the school, let alone where it would be if there was any."


Looking at the list with a number of items ranging from paint to plywood, all written with small, neat handwriting that is undoubtedly Shizune's, I heave a sigh.

Hisao
"I'll be going then."


Waving the long list limply at the teacher, I exit to the hallway.
MISHA: "Awww... what should I do?"
