Your "Real" Self

Work in Pairs (Part 3)

Work in Pairs (Part 3)

Oct 04, 2021

[I'm already sick of you.]

Those were the words that in a displeased tone were reproduced by Tamaki-san APA. The moment I heard them my breath froze for a few seconds.

[Don’t you ever get bored!? Since the first day of school and during the last few months you’ve always done the same day after day. How many times have you thought to keep making me your stupid invitations…? How come you don’t realize I’m sick of you already?]

My cheeks seemed to convulse as I slowly looked down at the surface of my desk. Then, the forced smile on my face disappeared completely. This was the first time a classmate had addressed me in such an angry manner. For the first time, I wanted the silence that was between Tamaki-san and me a few minutes ago to return.

However, and taking a deep sigh to catch his breath, Tamaki-san had no intention of stopping.

[Going for a walk around the schoolyard to talk during the first recess? Going up to the school roof to have lunch together? Going out to have fun after school? You even asked me to stop using my APA! What country do you think you're living in!? There can't possibly be anyone in all of Japan who acts the same way you do! Why don't you realize it once and start acting like a normal person!?]

Tamaki-san APA stared at me silently waiting to hear a response from my mouth, however, I didn't know what to say. Realizing this, Tamaki-san continued.

[Taking advantage of this conversation I would like to update you on something that has been going on for the past three months. As a representative of class 2-E I have received a lot of email complaints concerning your stupid invitations not only from our classmates, but also from various students all over school.]

—¿U-uh…?

[Just as you heard it. The complaints range from "Miyagawa-kun is so insistent with me that it becomes annoying" to "I can't stand it anymore, Miyagawa-kun is too much of a pain" just to tell you a few. That implies that everyone at school is tired of you, including me. So please stop meddling in other people's lives and start worrying about your own.]

And with that, Tamaki-san ended.

[I hope it’s clear to you, now you better finish your part of the work, we’ve already wasted enough time talking.]

Piip—

Immediately, his APA shut off, leaving me sitting there and staring blankly as I blended into the silence of the classroom once again.

"This be the day when my life as a student definitely will change!”

Suddenly that phrase that I used to say so often every morning crossed my mind. I kept repeating it over and over again as if desperately trying to find meaning in it.

Then I concluded.

"I don't think this is the day when my life as a student definitely will change..."

I’m the only person who shows his "real" self.

In the most technologically country in the world, the government has introduced the use of Advanced Personal Androids (APA) to its population, which use a wireless-brain connection. Over the years APAs quickly became a commodity, causing people to completely lose interest in making "real" contact with each other.

Miyagawa Minoru is the only one in his school who does not attend classes using an APA, unlike his other classmates, he is not satisfied with his daily life as a student. With only twelve months left before the end of his last school year, Minoru must try to change the mindset of everyone in the school so they can start attending classes without using their APA.
