Chapter 29: Different from the Original?
After that, Yuuichi and Fujise left the store.
In the end, Tojoin-san didn’t interfere.
Sei-chan and I followed them, but it was bothering me the entire time.
Why didn’t Kaori Tojoin come to interfere?
Maybe my memory is mistaken and she didn’t interfere like that.
No, but I do remember reading the original story about the two of them taking a picture wearing bear-eared head accessories.
So I’m certain, In the original story, Tojoin-san would interfere in the store.
And yet, Tojoin-san never appeared.
In other words, Tojoin-san’s appearance in the amusement park date has already been divulged from the original story.
Why..?
If I had to give a reason, I would say that something had changed when I became Tsukasa Hisamura that had an effect on Tojoin-san’s actions.
I need to sort out what has changed from the original story so far.
First of all, in the original story, Tsukasa Hisamura did not confess his feelings to Sei Shimada.
Also, me and Sei-chan wouldn’t have followed them as backup in the original.
But that shouldn’t have had any effect on Tojoin-san and it also shouldn’t have had much effect on the current scenario.
What else is there… Ah, The timing when Tojoin-san found out about the date. She found out about the date on Friday instead of today.
That’s probably the part that deviates from the original.
But if that had an impact on the story, She would have interfered sooner rather than later.
Another thing that changed was that Yuuichi came to my house on saturday so that Tojoin-san wouldn’t find him.
But when Yuuichi came to my house, Tojo in-san had already found out.
…No way?
This was what Yuuichi said when Tojoin-san came to my house.
“If it’s late at night, your parents will be worried!”
After hearing that line, Tojoin-san started acting strange and left immediately.
Yuichi didn’t mean to hurt her at all, he was just worried about Tojoin-san, but for her it was different.
After her mother passed away, Tojoin-san felt that her only parent, her father, wasn’t interested in her.
It’s likely that those words were painful to hear.
Could that be why Tojoin-san didn’t come to interrupt them?
This is all just a conjecture on my part, but it could be possible.
No, even if I’m wrong, I’m certain that Tojoin-san hasn’t interfered as she did in the original story.
The sun’s almost setting.
“Hm? A-Ah? That’s right.”
My thoughts were interrupted when Sei-chan suddenly spoke to me.
It was getting pretty dark now, and the lights in the amusement park were starting to light up.
I couldn’t imagine thinking of something else other than Sei-chan during an amusement park date with her.
“Looks like those two will be heading to that place soon…”
“Eh? What place?”
“Didn’t you know? This amusement park has a very beautiful illuminated area at night. It is said that there is a rumour that those who go out there with their loved ones will be united forever.”
“Ahhh… I think I heard of it before.”
I’m pretty sure that in the original story, if you successfully confess your love to someone in this illuminated amusement park, you will be united forever.
Of course, in the original story, Tojoin-san interfered with the pair, so Yuuichi, Fujise, and Tojo-in-san went there together, and I think they ended up saying something like, “It’s beautiful”.
It didn’t make much of an impression on me, so I forgot about it.
But… If this continues, those two will be able to confess successfully and get together.
The rumour of the place will probably turn out to be true as well.
If that happens those two will be together forever.
“Oh… Those two are going to the illuminated area.”
As Sei-chan said, those two are walking in the direction of the beautiful illuminations.
If this continues, Yuuichi and Fujise will really start dating.
Are you sure you don’t want to interfere, Tojoin-san?
Why? Could it be that you don’t like Yuuichi in the world I’m currently in?
No, That’s probably not true. She even drove Yuuichi to my house and offered her nude photo book to him.
Then where are you?!
As I was thinking, I looked around to see if Tojoin-san really wouldn’t interrupt them. And then a certain person caught my eye.
It was an old man in a butler’s uniform.
Even though he was old, He was taller than me and had a white beard which created a dignified air around him.
He didn’t look like an ordinary person by any means which made me think that he could be the owner of the amusement park.
But, I know who he is.
That old man in the butler’s uniform is someone who works for Tojoin-san.
As I recall, Tojoin-san called him “Gramps,” and he was her butler.
He’s the one that always goes along with Tojoin-san’s whims and he’s really cool even if he’s an old geezer.
If he’s here, that means Tojoin-san is here too.
But if you’re here why don’t you just go and interrupt them?
Perhaps, you’re still hung up on what Yuuichi said?
The topic of her parents must be very nerve-wracking for the current Tojo-in-san.
In the future this topic will be resolved but as of now, it should be a taboo topic for her.
The fact that Yuuichi, the person who she loves the most, touched on it probably hurt her the most.
Could it be that Tojoin-san wouldn’t come to interrupt them?
If that happens, doesn’t that mean she will have to live without resolving her problems in the future and will never be saved?
In the original, the story moves toward with Yuuichi saving her.
Wouldn’t that never happen if he goes out with Fujise?
If that happens, she will…
I looked at Yuuichi and Fujise.
The happy mood around them has vanished and the atmosphere has turned tense.
It is probably because both of them are heading to the illuminated area and are thinking of confessing their feelings.
They are already way more intimate on this date than they were on the original.
It may be difficult to stop them now
Nevertheless…
“Hi-Hisamura, A-Are we going to the illuminations? T-There’s something I want to talk to you about.”
“Sei-chan”
“W-What?”
“I’m sorry, I have something to do.”
“Huh?”
Without hearing Sei-chan’s reply, I started running.
I’m sorry, Sei-chan
Sei-chan probably wanted to stop Tojoin-san from interfering, Thinking about Fujise.
She even went so far as to act in secret so that Fujise wouldn’t know about it.
But I… I still don’t want them to get together yet.
The time will come when Yuuichi will have to choose between Fujise and Tojoin-san.
But as it is now, Yuuichi will choose Fujise without looking at Tojoin-san at all.
That’s absolutely no good.
Also, it’s hard to say to Sei-chan and Fujise but…
My second favorite character in “Ojojama” is Kaori Tojoin.
With that in mind, I ran and talked to the old man in a butler’s uniform.
“Excuse me! Can I have a moment?”
“How may I help you?”
The old butler looked at me and quietly asked me that question.
It was the first time I heard Grandpa’s voice, but it was very austere and cool.
“Please take me to Tojoin-san.”
“You know the young master?”
He says, looking down at me a little warily.
I’m not friends with Tojoin-san.
That means my position right now is.
“I’m the close friend of the person Kaori Tojoin loves.”
