…… I couldn’t remember anything. 

I couldn’t even remember how things had come to this, or even who I was going to meet …. 

Despite this, I had the feeling that there was something very important ahead. 
With that feeling, I simply went forward by putting one foot in front of the other. 

—-Facing forward, the hill that I was heading towards had already come into view before my eyes.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    YUUKEI YESTERDAY PART TWO
    (translated by Miss-Simplicity )
     
    “Amazing …. She’s already taken down thirty-seven people ….”
    “Actually, I heard that she’s that veteran player that ranked no.2 in the nationals in ‘DEAD BULLET-1989-’”
    “…!! Isn’t that ‘LightningDancerEne’!? No wonder her moves are so good. Hey, look, it’s another new high score! …. But why is she crying?”
     
    Right now, the Science Preparation Room was the most fired up it had been since its opening.
    Without bothering to wipe the tears flowing from my eyes, I desperately gripped the controller.
    No matter how painful it was, once I took hold of the controller, there was no way that I could allow myself to lose.
    Due to my daily habits and the personality that I had, it was something I no longer had any influence over.
     
    On the large monitor, a hand holding a gun was displayed, and as it matched the movements of my controller and aligned to the left and to the right, I shot down the targets.
    Every time they were shot, there was a “Gyaaaaah!” scream, and incredibly grotesque scenes were shown on the monitor, with emphasis on the blood and guts, despite the fact that they were cute-looking characters that resembled bears and rabbits.
    “You did it, Takane! You won  again !! No, wait … Should I be calling you Ene right now, instead!?”
    Haruka was squatting beside my side of the player seats, speaking to me with sparkling eyes, almost as if he were my coach.
    “Shut …. Shut …. up ….. idiottt …..”
    Although I was already crying to the point that I could no longer speak properly, all around, the audience was showering me in generous applause over my victory.
    The challenger that had been my opponent, wearing military-style clothes, passionately saluted me and said, “Excuse me, but I never would have thought I’d have the pleasure of playing against the great LightningDancerEne-sama in a place like this ….!! It’s such an honor!!”
    Near the entrance, there were several robust-looking guys that were fighting over who would be the next challenger, going, “I’ll be the one to challenge ….” “No, no, I’ll be the one to ….”
    With the increasing number of students that were gathering to this unusual scene, and the game players that had rushed over after hearing the rumors, it had transformed into a living hell.
    “How did it come to thiiiis …..”
    My vision became blurred from the tears that continued to fall on top of the controller.

    The day of the School Culture Festival. The beginning of this incident started about several hours ago.
     
    The study desks and teacher’s desk that were usually in the center of the Science Preparation Room were taken away, and in its place, a shooting game booth had been magnificently set up.
    Honestly, though, it wasn’t anything extraordinary; it was just a long table that had a cloth draped over it, with pictures drawn in fluorescent paint, and the display screen placed on top. However, the windows had been covered up with cardboard, making the only source of light the light coming from the display and the faint glow of the fluorescent paint.
    It was thanks to Haruka’s drawing ability too, of course, but if it was like this, it wouldn’t be apparent how much of a rushed job this was.
    “I-it’s almost time, huh …. It feels like some kind of dream; to think that we’d really be
