2,601st time

“…I don’t get it. Actually, I was thinking you might

have been defeated by my persistence…but what’s with
this ignorant, relaxed face of yours!”
I’m not ignorant, I have no clue what you’re talking
about!
“You kept ignoring me for 2,600 iterations. I refuse to
surrender, however many times this endless recurrence
shall continue. However, I still feel fatigue. You should
feel the same, so how can you maintain such
composure?!”
What should I…I have no idea what you’re talking
about.
Apparently she finally notices my bewilderment and
looks at me suspiciously.
“……are you perhaps not self-aware?”
“Self-aware? Of what?”
“…very well. Whether you’re acting or not, an
explanation shouldn’t do much harm. Hm, right. To put
it simply—I’ve already ‘transferred’ 2,601 times.”
All I can do is be blankly amazed.
“If you’re just acting then you’re quite amazing. But
if you really ‘didn’t know’, it’d certainly be natural for
you to have such a dull look. Whatever. I’ll explain what
nd
I know. Mh, right—today’s March 2 , right?”
I nodded.
“It would be easier to say that I’ve repeated this
nd
March 2 2,601 times, but that isn’t quite right. For that
reason I use the expression school transfer, although
that’s not really appropriate either.”
