ONE UNREAD MESSAGE
一つ: Aishi-san
(1: Aishi-san)
As much as Akademi High School prides itself on being a top drawer school where it offers more support to students than the average Japanese high school, there are times when a member of the faculty must put her foot down on a certain hopeless student.
Midori Gurin's infamous stupidity was either a blessing or a curse, because while some intellectual students ended up being extremely ticked off by her lack of common sense, others found that while she could come off as quite annoying, she was in fact quite a funny person. Saki Miyu laughed about the day's newest fact about the odd green-haired soul, chatting with her girls as she side-eyed Midori at a spot on the rooftop, gazing out while wondering about god-knows-what.
"Nana-sensei said that Midori-chan asked her how to do simple addition because she completely forgot," Saki giggled, but it wasn't in an ill-natured manner.
"It's not surprising- people can forget, Miyu-senpai..." Ayano Aishi laughed nervously, looking up from her phone. "I think I remember someone forgetting something simple throughout this year too..."
Yui Rio raised her hand, focusing her steely and determined red eyes right at Ayano. "I remember. Does anyone know Budo Masuta from Class 3-2?"
"Him?" Kokona Haruka gasped, fidgeting with her nails. "Isn't he the guy who tried to chop the school's benches in a display of his martial arts skills?!"
"Apparently, he watched too much anime at night and when he went to class-" Yui said, but Kokona interrupted her, reaching out a hand to cling onto her kohai's arm.
"Hey, I'm supposed to know- I'm in his class!"
"No, no, here's the thing- he didn't go to your class, or his class, or whatever, he went to-"
According to her information - and her information is never wrong - Ayano Aishi never really liked social settings.
Info-chan read somewhere online that love is never peaceful, because love is a neverending fight. It's probably the very reason why she decided not to fall in love with silly people throughout her school life, and it definitely would carry over to her working life when she becomes a young lady in a dreary office. Her latest client, Aishi-san, is probably her most interesting client yet - most of her clients had been (and still are) perverted old men wanting snapshots of high school girls' underwear.
She finds herself laughing slightly at the prospect of Aishi-san crouching down below her schoolmates' skirts to desperately take pictures of their underwear though.
Info-chan could say that Aishi-san's a pretty girl, prettier compared to herself, in fact. Aishi-san isn't exactly generic, but she purposely makes herself rather plain and unassuming in contrast to most of the student body. It made her somewhat self-conscious looking at Aishi-san for a duration, because Info-chan found herself tugging at her cropped red hair and the arms of her glasses for a moment.
Aishi-san had that...traditional type of look, the type where she could stop people dead in their tracks if she just bothered to gussy up a bit. It takes time for people to ultimately see that Aishi-san was pretty, that's the type of person Aishi-san looked like.
Then, her phone vibrated.
Speaking of Aishi-san, she was checking on her data.
Tsk.
The funniest look came upon Aishi-san's face upon seeing the automated message, and Info-chan almost wanted to laugh again. She could almost remember what she had said: 'Trying to look up my information? Don't bother. There is nothing that you need to know about me. You're a client and I'm a provider. That's all we need to know about each other.'
Aishi-san gave a frustrated groan and tucked her phone into her skirt pocket.
Sometimes, Info-chan thought to herself, she wondered how Aishi-san came to escape her attention throughout their early years in Akademi. Probably because of Aishi-san's recent interest in Taro Yamada, the emotionless girl slowly broke out and garnered her attention - fortunately, the attention of others weren't roused just yet.
That's why Ayano Aishi was the perfect person for her to choose as a client - she's not too showy, she's not too unnoticed, she's just perfectly, generically normal to the public eye that if she told Aishi-san to possibly (without a 'pretty please with a cherry on top') swat Osana Najimi out of the picture, no one would suspect anything if Aishi-san played her cards right.
Najimi needs to get what's coming to her.
But Info-chan knows that she can't settle her own grudges.
A/N: Reposted from my account with the same name on AO3.
Many thanks to Yanderedev, for creating such a wonderful game that has a special place in my heart. Your effort in releasing the updates are very meaningful.
Most probably, this fanfiction will be updated extremely slowly due to the many loose plot holes in the canon storyline of Yandere Simulator. When the time arises where official names will be revealed, I will edit the chapters accordingly, or if there are huge plot twists, the storyline of the fanfiction might change.
