Dullard Buddy-kun: Heading Reluctantly to School Again Today - Episode 57

The view outside is completely in the evening twilight.

On Saturday evening, I am not at home right now; I have come to a certain place.

Oh, I successfully rebooted it.

As expected from someone at a mobile shop.

The data remains unchanged, one way or another.

Well, no one really contacts me on my days off anyway, so there’s no need to rush, but still, a smartphone is essential for reading digital comics or listening to music on the train.

In fact, even on LINE, I haven’t received any messages from anyone….

No, they’re coming.

Who is it from?

Yoshinoya?Demaekan?Fashion Center Shimamura?line NEWS?

Which official account is this from?

Even though it’s a holiday…..

No way, even Yamamoto-san and Shibuya-san are messaging….. me on LINE….?

Rubbing my eyes and looking again, they are indeed coming…..

Here’s the translation without any changes:

Three messages from Yamamoto-san. Two from Shibuya-san…

I haven’t opened either of their chat windows yet, so I’ve only read the latest messages…

The latest message from Yamamoto-san is:

“Mamiya-kun, are you free tomorrow?”

…What is this…

And the latest message from Shibuya-san is:

“Mamiya, are you free tomorrow?”

…Seriously, what is this…

Tomorrow is, well, Sunday. And since it’s right after the school trip, I don’t even have my part-time job for once, so I am free, but…

If I say I’m free, what happens next?

Wait, do we have school tomorrow?

Is there some kind of post-school-trip rule in place that makes it a school day even though it’s Sunday?

Here’s the translation without any changes:

No, I’ve never heard of such a terrible rule, and there’s no way it exists.

“Um, sir? Did some of your data get deleted by any chance?”

As I stood frozen, staring at my phone in shock at this unexpected situation, the store clerk must have found me suspicious and spoke up.

“Ah, no. Everything’s fine.”

Well, strictly speaking, it’s not fine.

If anything, I feel like there’s more data than I expected.

Well, anyway, my phone is fixed now, so I should probably leave this store.

It looks like the repair fee will be deducted along with next month’s payment, so all that’s left is to just go home.

Thinking that, I quietly close the LINE home screen for now.

But still, I can’t just leave them on “unread” forever.

Well, I guess I’ll think about it while heading home.

No, no, no, no. There’s no way.

Am I an idiot?

Is my brain still stuck in some kind of post-school-trip haze?

I mean, come on, it’s me we’re talking about. There’s absolutely no way.

No way…

Yeah. No way…

They’re just being a little nice to me, that’s all…

Seriously, am I an idiot?
