The sun is shining brightly. The wide blue sky that appeared on the window and the chirping of the birds was very indulgent. A reddish-haired youth smiled peacefully while lying on the clinic bed. Bandages that had been wrapped most of his body had mostly been removed, leaving only a few bandages.
The door rang out. The wooden door that became the entrance as well as the exit of the clinic opened slowly, featuring the figure of a disheveled blue-haired student and a dark-black-haired student. Both of them were wearing the same uniform.
"Yes!! How are you doing, Arai?" greet the blue-haired student while waving his hand. "Are you better?"
"Good news, Ryugai. The doctor said my condition continued to improve day by day, and said today I can go home," said the red-haired man who turned out to be named Arai.
"Well, then you still have time to practice sparring, dong?" Ryugai smiled happily. "Your fighting spirit hasn't faded yet, has it? Don't tell me you've lost that spirit. You said you wanted to beat me."
"You stupid or what? Of course not yet," said Arai while chuckling amusedly. "I still haven't given up. I'm still going to the tournament. I'll make sure the top spot is in my hands."
Ryugai smiled. "A good spirit. Oh, ja. Genbu said he wanted to talk to you about something."
"Ah, hello, man!!" greet Arai. "Why is your face so grim? Don't bow your head. You're not like you. What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Actually .... The perpetrator of the bomb terror case that resulted in your being seriously injured .. is me .... I'm sorry ...."
Arai nodded his head slowly. "Oh, so .... It's okay."
"Eh?" Surprise approached the boy named Genbu. "You're not angry? I hurt you badly, you know!!"
"Come on, what's the anger for? At least you have the courage to apologize." Arai smiled kindly. "That's enough for me. Let the past be the past. A Genbu never apologizes, so you must have changed by now, right?"
"Yes, thanks to Ryugai," Genbu said with a smile and looked at Ryugai. "Even the friends in the class were aghast and astonished at our familiarity and my changing attitude."
"That's great. Maintain change. I know, surely your motive is that you don't want to lose the tournament. For the next time, let's compete and compete with sportsmen, huh?"
"This matter is over. Forget about this. You don't have to be burdened by guilt. Forget about everything. Now, we're friends."
Genbu. "Thank you ...."
"Friends ...."
"It seems, this time's case ended happily," Ryugai inner with a carefree smile. He stared at the vast expanse of blue sky that lay outside the window, looking like a giant curtain.
"Dad, mom, sister. Apparently, I'm starting to understand other people now. The old me is dead. This ... is my new self ...."
"From now on, I won't be famous as Ryugai the vile serial killer anymore ...."
"Play ... Ryugai the noble-hearted young man."
