I Got Into the Mass Production Anime

51. Apple

51. Apologize

The next day. Heebon Academy.

“I’m really sorry.”

“…”

sh*tsuji apologized to me.

Keep your head down.

Perhaps he is doing this because he betrayed me yesterday.

But I had no intention of accepting her apology.

When she first found out that she was a crossdresser, she thought she might have a purpose.

Isn’t it absurd that an ordinary woman would suddenly appear dressed as a man and try to be friends with me?

On the contrary, it would have been even more strange if I hadn’t grasped that possibility at the point I knew about it.

But nevertheless, I accepted her.

Because it looked interesting.

“…”

Thinking about it now, it was a mistake.

Yes, I might have forgiven him to the extent of reporting everything about me to the chairman. No, I would have forgiven you.

In the first place, I accepted her thinking that I was willing to take that level of risk, and the method itself may be impure, but her intentions weren’t bad, and it wasn’t particularly harmful to me.

But calling me out based on my trust and then kidnapping me. It was a slightly different problem.

Yes, the same idea applies here.

The method itself may be impure, but the intention wasn’t bad. As a result, it didn’t really harm me.

Perhaps it can be forgiven to some extent within the tolerance of this world.

But still… This time it went too far.

Based on my trust, I called and kidnapped him.

…This just seemed like a betrayal no matter what the intention or the result.

Aside from her feelings, the very fact that she is near me is a big risk to me.

Where is the guarantee that the chairman won’t do twice what he did once?

And how do I know what will happen next, and what damage I will suffer.

So I told her. She has nothing to accept, so there is no need to apologize.

“…”

Then she knelt in front of me after a moment of silence.

And the Togeza performed.

“Sorry!”

…???

“Huh..?”

Accordingly, my mind was colored with panic, making the thoughts up until now colorless.

Togeza practiced in Japan has a similar posture to Korean temples, but the weight is vastly different.

It’s not just an apology, it’s a huge humiliation for the person concerned. In Korean terms, it’s the same as crying, blowing, and clinging to someone else’s pants.

For that reason, the fact that she did such a thing was like blaming me for a crime with that much weight.

And this…

“What..?”

“What’s going on?”

“Gee, is it real? Hey!”

It naturally caught everyone’s attention.

Yeah, the place where she gave me togeza was in the middle of the classroom.

It was a perfect place to attract everyone’s attention, and at the same time, the one who did something wrong or the one who apologized. One of the two was a place that couldn’t be better to be branded as trash.

I told her, taken aback by her.

“Hey, hey! Wake up quickly!”

“I won’t move until you forgive me!”

“Ha… Let’s talk on the roof instead. Follow me.”

“…”

She doesn’t move even when I tell her to follow me.

As she went on, she was determined not to move until she accepted the real apology.

…I can’t help it.

Eventually, I grabbed her by the wrist and forcibly dragged her to her rooftop.

And when she reaches her rooftop again, she casts her Dogeja.

“…”

No matter how much I have memories of being in Korea, and I have bowed a lot on New Year’s Day and ancestral rites…

At the same time, it wasn’t that I didn’t know the weight of living in Japan.

As I said earlier, it is a huge humiliation for the person concerned.

“Ha…”

I was completely embarrassed by her crying and crying and hanging on.

How can I do this…

Even while she is so troubled, she continues to make Togeza.

“…”

The floor will be cold. I wish you would stand up.

How long has it been since then? Tired of her persistence, I opened her mouth to her.

“Hey.”

“Yes!”

“What is it?”

“That, that’s actually… Lady Akari’s butler!”

“…Butler? If it’s Akari, that Mori Akari, right?”

“Yes!”

“…”

A cross-dressing butler character… I think I’ve heard of it somewhere. Due to the nature of the popular anime, it was a character that could be real.

So I don’t think it’s a lie…

“So that’s why you dressed up as a woman? Well, is there such a thing as not entrusting a woman with a butler? That’s why she barely got tolerance from the president and went around like a man.”

“That, how…!”

She seemed surprised by my words.

I just recited exactly what I saw somewhere, but it must have been real.

“…”

Come to think of it, it’s like that, and if you do something wrong, it’s plagiarism…

Big! Anyway, in response to her reaction, I continued.

“I thought you came dressed as a man to get closer to me. Did you do that outside as well?”

“Yeah, but I’m a man..!”

“…”

She has been like that before, but this time too, she refuses to admit it until the end.

I spoke to her like an interrogation.

“Then why are you surprised?”

“That’s because there are rules…”

“Is it possible to authenticate then?”

“If this is authentication…!”

“Uh, that’s what you’re thinking about.”

“That, that’s…!”

“Okay, then. If you want to hide it until the end, forgiveness is crossing the water.”

“……I will.”

“What?”

She just accepts what I said as a justification for her refusal.

She puts her clothes on-

-Omitted-

“…”

In the end, before she showed up completely, I quit first.

In addition to her almost crying expression, it was because I thought that this was just s*xual harassment from my point of view, knowing that she was a woman in the first place.

No matter how much he himself did it, he had no choice but to quit because of the pressure from me.

“…”

But the bandages showed a bit, maybe…

“…”

“…”

And then the silence that followed.

In the end, I was the one who spoke first.

“Ha… Why are you so stubborn… So hard to admit?”

“I-I am a man!”

She looks at me with her troubled eyes.

Seeing her like that, I sighed again.

“Ha…”

…Okay, let’s ask something else.

“Seeing that he apologized without transferring or dropping out, I think there was another order… What is this time?”

“Yes, an apology is something I wanted to do too!”

“Okay, okay, what’s your next command?”

“That, that… No, but…”

“I’m going.”

“Ugh! Shi, actually! He told me to tell her if there is any progress with Lady Akari!”

“Me and that senior?”

“Yes!”

“…”

There won’t be anything going on with me and that nobleman anyway, so there won’t be any progress… It’s a useless order.

“Next.”

“Next…?”

“Uh, what’s the next command?”

“No, but…”

“Really?”

“Yes…”

“…”

If you think about it, you must have received orders like this before.

Then it must have been an additional order to lure me out.

“…”

Now is the time to choose.

Should she forgive her and accept her again… Or not accept her as she originally thought?

After thinking about it for a long time, she suddenly knelt down.

And she kept her eyes closed.

… Maybe he’s asking for forgiveness from her.

“…”

Ha…

Yeah, I think I got enough apologies just like Doggeza from before.

“…”

“…”

“Hey.”

“Yes!”

“…Apologies, I’ll accept them.”

“Thank you! Mr. Shujinko!”

“But honestly, I think it will be a bit difficult to trust you from now on. I won’t say anything like that, so don’t worry.”

“From now on, I will live with atonement so that Mr. Shujinko can believe!”

“…Yes.”

“Yes!”

“…”

So her apology ended with my imperfect forgiveness.

We’ll have to keep an eye on how her relationship with her will develop in the future.

“…”

By the way.

I’m going to go apologize to my senior soon.

***

Lunch time.

I finished my meal quickly and stood in front of the student council room.

It was to meet a senior and apologize for treating him badly last time.

Actually, in a way, you might just want to make a fuss with something like that… But I couldn’t help but feel that it bothered me.

“After…”

After taking a deep breath, I opened the door to the student council room and went inside.

And the senior who can be seen in it. The senior sat quietly with her wide open eyes.

“…”

Even when I saw him before, he looked a little tired from the hard work… But I don’t think it was to that extent.

Could you be doing this because of what I did before?

“…”

Ah, no way.

When will that be? That was already last week.

It must have been something else, or it was just exhaustion.

After getting rid of her thoughts, I approached her.

A senior who doesn’t notice even though I’m approaching.

In the end, I spoke to the senior who didn’t notice that I had come, even though I was close.

“That… Senior…?”

“…”

“Senior?”

“Uh, huh?”

She looked at me as if she had finally come to her senses.

She said rubbing her eyes.

“Am I dreaming? Why are juniors here…”

“…”

Isn’t it so absurd that I came here…

“It’s not a dream, senior. Actually… I came to apologize for what happened before.

“Huh..?”

Just like that, as I bowed her head and finished her apology, her eyes began to come alive.

Instantly, tears began to form in her eyes, and I was taken aback by her appearance.

She hugged me.
