The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya Page #6

I wanted to return home quickly and sleep.

I didn't care if it was just in my dreams.

That girl could just as easily invade someone's dreams without even thinking about it.

You're so much trouble whether you're around or not, so couldn't you just appear now, at this critical moment?

Can't you listen to my wishes every now and then?

What the hell...

I actually wanted to see Haruhi.

December 20th.

Kyon-kun!

Morning!

I awoke from a dreamless sleep.

It's morning!

The time limit should be today,

but I still haven't found any keys.

If I don't do something before the day's over, the world will probably stay the way it is.

Or it could get even worse.

Nagato...

Why did you set a deadline?

Was it pushing your powers to the limit to even set this up?

Yo, Kyon!

The next lesson's Chemistry,

and the teacher's going to pick my row for questions today.

Help me out a little.

Hey, Kunikida.

Teach this guy what you know about sodium hydroxide.

Especially about how it gets along with hydrochloric acid.

Well that's easy.

If you mix them, they get neutralized.

Which part?

This here.

Ah, that.

That's easy.

Let's see...

Do the calculation in moles first...

Oh yeah, Kyon...

Apparently you were causing a ruckus a couple days ago?

You were here that day, weren't you?

I was sleeping in the nurse's office all day,

and yesterday I didn't come to school.

What was it?

Something about how Asakura wasn't supposed to be here?

Something like that.

He said someone had been replaced by Asakura or something.

Haruhi-san, was it?

Did you ever figure out who that was?

Just forget it.

Haruhi?

You don't mean Suzumiya Haruhi?

You know her, Taniguchi?

Yeah.

Ah, here too.

At least think about it a little yourself...

There's no way I'll get it though...

What did you just say?

Huh?

I don't understand this prob

Before that.

Oh, Suzumiya Haruhi?

She was a nutjob in East Middle School.

I was in the same class as her all through middle school.

Wait, why do you know abou

You damn bald octopus!

What?

Who's an octopus?

If I'm an octopus, you're a cuttlef

You know Haruhi?!

How could I not know her!

I wouldn't be able to forget her in fifty years!

Anyone from East Middle School would know her.

And will you let go of me?

Where?!

Where is Haruhi now?!

Will you quieten down?

You're so loud.

You're like a Taiko drum!

Did you see her somewhere and fall in love at first sight or something?

Forget about her.

She's got the looks, but her personality is messed up!

Like this one time she snuck into school and drew these weird

I know that!

Idiot!

Where is Suzumiya Haruhi now?!

Kouyouen Academy!

She goes to that elite school!

Kouyouen Academy?

Was it always an upper class school?

It's just a rich girl's school isn't it?

Kyon!

That place has always been co-ed!

Y-Yeah!

It's got one of the highest university entrance rates in the prefecture!

Are you alright?

You really must have a fever.

I'm leaving early.

Tell Okabe I'm about to die of the bubonic plague and dysentery and typhoid all at the same time.

Also, Taniguchi...

Thanks!

S-Sure...

Crap...

I messed up.

I thought it seemed too quiet, but it's still the middle of classes.

At this time of year, all high schools in the city should only have a half day,

but even so, there's still an hour before school ends.

I guess I could force my way in...

Haruhi would definitely do that,

and it would probably go well.

Unfortunately I don't have that kind of confidence.

Unlike Haruhi, I can control myself when necessary.

Wasn't that girl with Koizumi in class 9?

I thought they had disappeared, but they were at this school?

At this rate there's a good chance Haruhi's here too.

I'd say a 50% probability.

If she happens to have club activities or something, I'll just have to remain a scarecrow right here.

Wait a second...

What if she's created a different SOS Brigade at this school, and spends time with totally different people...

Damn it, that pisses me off.

Wouldn't that mean that me and Asahina-san and Nagato and Koizumi are all dispensable?

If that were the case I wouldn't even be a side character,

I'd be a total outsider.

I don't like that idea.

Give me a break!

Damn it!

Who should I pray to?

What should I believe?

Christ?

Buddha?

Muhammad?

Zoroaster?

Lovecraft?

I'll do anything.

If this anxiety would just go away, I'll do anything!

There she is.

I've finally found her...

Suzumiya Haruhi.

And she's even with Koizumi!

So in this world, they're close enough that they walk home together.

No, never mind that.

It's been a while since I've seen that expression on Haruhi.

That's how she looked when she entered high school, before she created the SOS Brigade.

Eyes like those of a fighter without peer.

But this isn't the time to reminisce.

What the hell...

Come on, was I always such a coward?

Move!

Move!

What do you want?

And who are you, anyway?

I don't ever remember a guy I don't know calling me out with "hey" before.

If you want to flirt, could you do it somewhere else?

Is this the first time we've met as well?

It would appear so.

May I ask who you are?

Are you a transfer student here too?

I transferred around spring, but how do you know that?

Do you remember anything about a group called the Organization?

Organization?

How might you write that?

Haruhi.

Who said you could call me by my given name?

What's with you?

Move, you're in my way.

Wait

Don't use my surname either!

And why do you know my name, anyway?

That's a North High uniform isn't it?

What are you doing here?

Let's go, Koizumi-kun.

Okay...

Haruhi!

So annoying!

Suzumiya-san!

Let's go, Koizumi-kun.

Okay...

W-Wait!

Hey!

What are you doing?

What school are you from?

North High?

I-I'm...

Damn it!

Come on now!

Wait!

Haruhi!

Tell me one thing!

Do you remember the Tanabata Festival three years ago?

On that day, you drew on the school field with white chalk!

What about it?

Everyone knows that.

You weren't the only one who snuck into your school that night!

Back then, Asahina

There was a guy carrying a girl on his back with you that night, right?

You drew symbols with that guy!

And what they said was...

"I am here!"

Now then, come with m

Wait!

Hey, stop struggling!

Suzumiya-san?

Haru

That hurt!

Why?

How do you know that?

Who did you hear that fro

No...

I've never told anyone about that.

Back then...

North High...

What's your name?!

John Smith.

John Smith...

You...

You're that John?

The weird high school student who helped me back then...

Suzumiya-san!

Hey...

Someone call a teacher!

Are you alright?

I've found the connection.

This is it...

I've finally found a clue.

In this altered world,

the one person who shares the same memory as me...

I met John Smith twice.

After writing the message, he called out to me on my way back home.

"Take care of the John Smith who will shake up the world!"

That's different from what I remember.
