...

My name is Elsword.
I'm a normal first year high school student that just get in high school life yesterday.
However, I must think twice before calling myself normal.

Why?

Because besides from school I never go anywhere.
Then what am I doing at home?
Browsing, Fastbooking, twickering. Yes, I'm a NEET.
(Avoiding more copyrights and for fun phrasing.)

Then one day I opened a channel on Mytube.
A girl with twintail hair style is dancing and singing.

"The hell is this?"

This must be what people are calling 'Niku'.
I'm not really into famous people or invention so I got no interest with it.
That's why I change the channel.

...

After finishing my food I head back to my room.

"Ahhh... I'm so full... Now it's the right time to sleep."
But suddenly an E-mail notification rang from my phone.

The heck?

'Announcement for class 1-1, Tomorrow we will have new classmates. So welcome them well.'
Them?

I guess there will be 2 or more people.
Well, not really my problem though, I don't care about them.

So I turn off my phone to avoid more disturbing tone that will happen due to my classmate's curiousness for new mates.
Especially a certain girl who keeps her voice all high on me.
She's so annoying.

Without trouble I went to sleep very easily.

...

The morning-

"WOAH! It's already this late!?"

I turn off my phone.
That's why my alarm didn't rang.

"And big sis just went to school without waking me up! Geez!"
I hurried to the washroom and wash my face.
There's no time to take a bath so I'll just put on perfume on me.

"I'm off!"

After telling no one that I'm going, I rush to school as fast as I can.
Actually I only lived with my sis alone in our house.
Our parents are working in the other country.

By the way, my school's name is Aren High.

Yes.

The headmaster's name is Aren.
He's so full of himself that he used his own name as the school name.

Even though the name's horrible but the facilities inside were superb.
You can almost dream about it.

When I look at my watch I still got 5 minutes.
It's more than enough! I can do this!

Suddenly...

*SMACK*
"Woaaah!?"

"Kyaaa!"

I bumped to a girl.
I should've be careful when passing a cross road.

"My bad! Are you okay?!"
I lend her my hand, only to get slapped away.

"Geez! Are you dumb!? This is a cross road! you're lucky that I didn't ride a car or motorcycle! What if I ride one!? You might've been a goner now!"
Man, she's angry.

But that's for sure.
Most people walks slowly at cross road since we don't know what will come out there.
But...

"I will not stay calm when you treat me like this! You're a girl right!? You should've act more feminine!"

"Wha-!?"

Her white hair that tied to be twintail flutters.

"Lu, we're going to be late."
"Ah, you're right. Let's go."

The girl headed on first.
Then a white haired man which looks like her twin came to me.

"I'm sorry about my twin's attitude. She's spoiled too much so she can't handle her emotion."
"It's fine, I'm not really minding it though."
"Well then, see you later."

Then he also left the scene.
Just who are them?

Oh dear!

I'm already late!

...

"*pant* *pant* M-made it... In time... *pant*"
I managed to come in before the teacher so it didn't count as being late.

"Look, how stupid your face looks like. How can you be almost late during your second day?"
A purple head, named Aisha.
The girl who loved to abuse me verbally.
Which also my childhood friend.

"Watch... Your... Mouth... *pant*"

"Here, have a drink."

She offered me a bottle of water.
I gulped it all at once.

"Guah! That saved me...!"
"Now you owe me a bottle of water."

"what!?"
"I never said it's for free wasn't I?"

"Guh-!"

Yeah, she's just that kind of girl.
I never saw her cute side.

"Okay, calm down students. We will welcome the new classmates."
Since she's curious she obediently sit down and looks at the front of the class.

Geez.

For crying out loud...

"Come in."
Then...

Those people.
The two white head I met this morning.

They came in to my class.

Suddenly the girl's eyes met mine.

"..."

"..."

And then both of us yelled.
""AAAAAHHHHH!?""

"... Ah, you're from that morning."

The boy is not surprised.
Lenphad, the homeroom teacher looks at us.

"You guys know each other?"
"Yes, we do met each other this morning."
The boy answered.

"No! I don't know that brute boy!"
The girl yelled.

"Hey! Who are you calling brute!"

"Of course you are!"

"What did you say?!"

Lenphad smacks the white board.
Then thunderous sound follows.
*BLAM!*

"Enough with yelling. Both of you introduce yourself."
The girl seemed terrified.

"Y-Yes, The name's Lu..."

"My name is Ciel. We're twins, that's why we looked alike, please take care of us."
Aisha raised her hand.

"Is your white hair-?"

"Yes, this white hair is my natural hair."
Ciel nodded.

"If that's all then both of you sit behind that red head named Elsword."

"W-!"

"Enough, Lu. Teacher's orders are absolute."

"Uh-!"

She gives up and walks to the seat behind me.
As she passed me she glares on me.

"Elsword, huh? You'd better brace yourself."
"Lu, huh? I will look forward for it."

Even though I'm a NEET, I still, am a honor student that achieved the 1st rank during the freshmen test.
That's why I will not run from a challenge.

"Please don't mind her, Elsword. She's still so immature, just like her appearance."

"Ciel!"

"..."

I hold my laugh.
Ciel was right, Lu is still just like a child with a body that small and slim.
Maybe she can be cute too.

...

I take that back.
She's not cute at all.

"Elboy, show me where is the toilet."

"..."

I was assigned to be her escort.
Ciel already memorized the school's insides when he's coming to class.
That saves my time, but Lu...

Even though I'm her escort she treated me like a slave!

"Here, then what?"

"You dared to ask a girl for what she go to the toilet for? What a shameless boy."

"I mean where you want to go next! And we're the same age what do you mean by boy!"

"The way you mind a small trivia is the proof you're not quite mature yourself."

"..."

She's right to the point.

"Fine, I'll just play along with little kiddy's game."

"Wha-!"

"The way you mind a small trivia is the proof you're not quite mature yourself."

"Hey! Why you copy my words!"

"Look who's immature now."

"Arrrrggghhh!"
She growled.

Hahaha this is my revenge for her treatment.

"Lu, what are you doing here?"

"Ciel? Why are you here?"

"I want to go to the toilet of course."

"Ah, you're right..."
She blushed as Ciel enters the toilet.
She felt stupid to ask.

"Hahaha are you imagining something dirty just now?"
That makes me want to tease her.

"Shut up! Who imagine dirty thing!"

After yelling she enters the ladies' toilet.

"You stay there! I still want to know other places!"

"..."

There she goes, ordering me like a boss.

...

Finally it's time to get home.

"Finally...!"

I stretched my body as I pack my belongings.

"Look at how lazy you looks."

"I don't want to hear that from someone who need Ciel to pack her belongings."

"S-Shut up! I'm just so tired okay!? Ciel isn't tired so I ask him for help!"

"Yeah yeah, miss willful."

"Who's willful!?"

"Enough, Lu. Let's go home. See you tomorrow Elsword."

"Yeah, see you tomorrow Ciel."

"How dare you ignored me- Kyaa!"

Lu's bag is being pulled by Ciel the moment she wear her bag.
Seems like Ciel's her guardian rather than her twin.

But... I smell something's not right.

"Hey, Els."

"Aisha? What's up?"

I wonder what is she going to say, another verbal abuse?

"Are you wondering something about Lu and Ciel? I smelled something fishy from them from the way they acted."

"... Yeah I do."

"It seems they're..."

"Save it for tomorrow, I don't want to think too much for today, see you tomorrow Aisha."

"Hey! Hear me 'till the end you moron!"

...

I know exactly what Aisha's about to say.
She's going to say that they're not a twin.
Ciel's acting more like a servant than twin brother.
But I don't want to think about something weird like that.

Finally I reached my house.

...

"... Why you're here?"

I look at Lu, who's behind me.

"I-It's not your problem, is it!?"

"Of course it's my problem! You stalked me to my house how can it's not my problem!?"

For the God's sake, she's even worse than Aisha in term of annoying.
After hesitating awhile she muttered.

"Ac... Actually..."

"What?"

"My dad told me to stay in your house! He already talked this matter to your parents!"

It took me 1 minute to understand what she's saying.

"Huh?"
