Ueki-kun, even though you have school

You still work a lot.

It's really helpful.

A, Am I... helpful?

Just the fact that there's a guy here is comforting.

I see...

But if a robber came, I probably wouldn't be able to do anything...

Ahaha, when that happens,

You should prioritize your own life.

My life... huh.

In order to end my own life, I started working at this part time job. 1 month has passed.

I'm now able to carry 3 cardboard boxes at the same time.

I don't stutter anymore when I'm asked about the location of items.

Since I thought being lectured by my parents was a pain, I studied during my breaks.

My grades didn't go up or down.

I'm busy...

It was the first time I felt "busy".

I had thought that only adults could be busy.

Ueki-kun, everyone's going to dinner.

Are you coming too?

Eh, really...? Ah...

Can you come?

I...

I forgot something at school...

Ok, come next time.

Y, Yes, I'm sorry...!

Of all the times to forget my phone...!

To All Hopes, A Yell Last Part

The gates are still open, I'm lucky.

Eh...

You startled him.

What are you doing?

Wah!

You're so nice.

I got that bug off of him.

Give it to him.

...I want to die.

Of course, I got scared and couldn't resist. I'm pitiful.

400,000...

Just like a spell,

Every day I repeated those words.

Gaaaaaah Gaaaaaaah

I told you, you better answer your phone.

That's right.

When I first met him at the tea house, he told me to answer any incoming call.

Just because I didn't answer my phone he headbutted me just because I didn't answer my phone he headbutted me just because I didn't answer my phone he headbutted me...

Eh... So... Wh... What did you...

Nothing.

I didn't realize I had a call.

He came outside of work and violently...

He's terrifying. I have to hurry and save the money.

1 item at 198 yen.

The total comes to 572 yen.

What?

I don't think I made a mistake yet.

You've gotten faster at the register.

...? Y, Yes...

Ummm, exactly... 72 yen.

Ah!

Th

Thank you very

much.

When the temperature rose and the store began it's campaign,

It was time to change uniforms at school, and the tests before summer vacation were drawing near.

It's hot.

Collaboration

It's hot again today. Are you ok?

Ah, y, yes.

I'm pretty good with the heat...

I see.

Katou-san is so stylish.

I'm sure she said she had a boyfriend.

Well, it's not like I look at her like that.

Anyway, I think we'll separate eventually.

Ueki-kun.

Is Matsushita-kun doing well?

That guy never comes when I'm at the register.

M, Matsushita...

He always buys a coffee and leaves.

Ah, yes... He's seems... the same as always...

Huh? But I'm sure that was a fake name...

I don't get that guy at all...

Ah

More importantly, I've got to work during the upcoming holidays.

What should I do, Wednesday is the deadline for the assignment...

But even if I don't do it over the weekend, I still have the day off from work on Monday...

Ah, but

There's study hall on Tuesday afternoon.

Ah, I'll do that.

And then on Thursday

Speaking of which

I was summoned by Matsushita-san on Friday...

I wonder if I'll be taken to have okonomiyaki again.

That guy makes me eat the stuff I hate. And he orders enough for multiple people... In the end, it ends once I feel terrible.

Actually, it's scary how he treats me every time. It's like he's telling me to pay him back later.

Huh

Just like the break room usually is... I cleaned it up...

Huh? What's with him?

Isn't he getting caught up in it?

Ueki

You seem pretty confident today.

N, No, th, that's not...

Ah, really? You just look that way!

Are you listening when other people talk!? Are you turning towards them and talking back!?

Die!

Someone like you should die!

Compared to this, Matsushita-san is 100 times more scary.

He always tells me to die right away, and makes fun of the things I'm worried about.

When I'm slow at the register, he glares at me.

He shows off his violence, calls me at weird hours and if I don't pick up, he gets angry...

You're just riding high cause you went up a rank on the last test, huh.

Right

I'm weak...

Sh

Shut up

Idiot.

Ueki-kun, what happened?

Your nose! It's bleeding!

Ah, I'm ok. Completely.

I ran into it! I was spacing out... And then a telephone pole...!

I'm sorry, it will stop if I wait a bit.

You should go home.

No, it will stop really soon.

I'm sorry.

Just rest.

You can't work.

Hah

They beat me until I got a bloody nose...

And... I'll have saved... the 400,000 by the end of the month.

Half a year had passed since I first texted Matsushita-san.

Welcome!

2 iced coffees.

...Please return my student ID.

And

The drug...

Do you really need it?

If you really do,

I'll give it to you.

Thank you for waiting. Here are your iced coffees.

So what will you do? Are you going to take it right now? Or maybe prepare a will and do it in your own room?

I, I don't need it...

The drug... Like I thought, I don't need it.

I'm sorry.

I thought about it a lot, but I...

Well, you already killed yourself.

Eh, no, I'm alive...

No, you died. You killed yourself.

I'm alive, I'm alive. I feel fine...

Everyone already hates me...

Please help me. I want to die peacefully.

You killed him, right?

...Before, I was beat up in my classroom by guys in the same class.

My nose was bleeding and it really hurt.

But afterwards, I went to the store like normal and worked the register like always.

And now I can carry multiple big trash bags at the same time.

Even though I've never thrown out the trash at my own house yet.

I'll return this.

Ueki Keita

Somehow, when I look at it now, it looks like a depressing student ID...

I, too,

Got in big trouble when I didn't answer my phone.

She said that I might have up and killed myself.

Huh...?

My student ID was confiscated, and I was told to work until I had 800,000.

But, well, 800,000 is a little...

Maybe I lost interest midway through. Since I was like that, this time, I cut it in half.

W, What are you talking about?

I'm the same as you.

Though I can't wear short sleeves anymore.

M, Matsushita-san, you were helped by someone too?

Just like how I was helped by you... online...!

What!? I didn't help you?

Don't get caught up it in. Die!

I, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. And please don't tell me to die...

Well, the only ones who call me Matsushita are you and that person.

What about work today?

Ah, it's starting now!

Actually, here. The money, here. D, Do, Do as you like...

Ah? I don't need it. It's yours, so you should take it.

Eh, b, but the drug... I promised to buy it... Even though you prepared such an expensive thing for me.

You're going to buy an over the counter headache medicine for 400,000?

Headache medicine!?

Matsushita-san

Are you paying together?

Ueki! Treat me.

Eh

Ah

Y, Yes.

You said earlier that I helped you.

But I could have taken the money and run.

I specifically referred you to a part time job you would hate.

Out of 10,000 yen.

So actually I deceived you, and didn't help you.

...But you didn't take the money.

And when I didn't answer my phone, you really were worried about me lots of times, weren't you. Though it really hurt.

What? That was just me letting off stress?

But that's fine.

Thank you for helping me to kill myself.

Your change is 9040 yen.

Since you paid with such a large bill.

If you feel worn out at school or at home, do your best.

Though not until you're about to die.

And 4th is amazing.

...Yes.

Eh, Matsushita-kun said that?

That story's from years ago.

Yes, umm... He said he was helped by Katou-san.

No, I didn't help him.

Because even now, he seems like he's about to die.

All I said that if he works and earns money, he'll be at peace.

Here. This is one that was taken with everyone.

Ah, Katou-san, you had long hair.

Matsushita-kun is there, right? Don't tell him that I showed this to you.

Eh, Matsushita-san is here?

He should be at the end.

I think... He was probably about the same age as you.

Ah

He is here. That guy's giving a peace sign...

Ah...

This...

Long sleeves.

Did you already slit your wrists?

It's ok, you don't have to hide it.

It's ok, you don't have to hide it...

Katou-san, did someone

Help you too?

Since Matsushita-san did that for me...

I just failed to die.

I was too heavy. So it was no good.

The rope

No matter how many times I tried, it kept breaking. It was pitiful.

So then I thought, what if I lost weight? So I got some advice online.

I desperately lost weight, and worked at a part time job, and exercised...

And then, all the clothes that I had before just looked at, I could then wear. I was happy.

Katou-san, that's...

Isn't failing to die, is it?

It's more like... fate or hope. Something like that...

Something like that...

Ah, the time!

It's time, I have to get to the register.

Ah, that's right. It's the new shift.

Hope...

How embarrassing.

What was I talking about.

Even as I now work the register,

There are people who are thinking that they want to die.

Ah, in just a little bit, it will be summer vacation.

1 item at 90 yen.

2 items at 315 yen.

And starting tomorrow, I have swimming for P.E.

I'm busy.

Ah, I don't need a spoon.

I'm sorry.

On Saturday I'll be summoned by Matsushita-san.

My parents are under the impression that I got a friend, but is he a friend...?

It's a real pain that there's so much stuff to do.

And once again, there will be lots of things I need to do in the future.

Thank you very much.

To All Hopes, A Yell The End

I hope you enjoyed To All Hopes, A Yell.

I know I drew it, but when you have a nosebleed, you're not supposed to tilt your head back.

When you tilt your head back, it seems that tears aren't able to come out.

Nosebleeds are bad...
