Present

Bara-ara-ara-ara-ara

Muscle

I spend my free time usually practicing Shi-…

Tightened

Reading, reading… Russian novels... … I find this particular activity relaxing. that is all. Thank you.

Nailed it

It is great to have you with us Matagi-san please take the seat on the second farthest row by the window.

Never knew I'd be going to such an abstract sculpture of a learning institution. They like they're colors of red and white quite a bit… … does it allude to the motifs of wines? Like theyre from France or some shit.

Dubious POV

Munch

For a Japanese town this place does not look the part, it's missing those signs, gaudy placements lights and that plastic-like flora scape... the Architecture especially. Everywhere seems as odd as the institute, the appearance they are going for is a peculiar mix of Trendy and cool scaffoldings mixed with post-futurist design… that's the correct terminology if I'm not mistaken.

X X X

Munch

Sapporo and Wakkanai don't have a tempo in semblance to the one here, the topography is wavier and the pedestrian count per square mile is lesser that that of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, not to same degree of emptiness of Yelizovo. But still this town, is an oddity…

Steps

Sprint at Lightning wave

Closer

The smell of a sweat

The Sweats In view

Hey sorry to be bothering you, but have you seen a male at 168cm, animated ahoge on his head and could be mistaken for an Okinawan by his skin complexion?

Sweaty

Erotic

He weighs around 50 to 60 kg and has the look of defeat in his eyes, but on particular days he looks like the captain of the bishounen team in Shoujo Jump.

Vroom

Engine Revving

He has his hair covering on his uh… left eye or was it his right?

Ready for lift off

His build is also distinct for he looks slim bodied at first but you can tell he has firm buttocks and a vascular abdomen upon closer inspection. yada yada yada yada yada…

Amused

But recalling

No. Have not seen him.

He does a have a peculiar strut when he- Oh you haven't... hmm? Hey aren't you the new guy whos from Karafuto, Matagi-san, right? It's a pleasure to meet you I'm Kanbaru Suruga, I sit next to Namichi-san in the fifth row.

Opportunity

Apologies for not recognizing, I am still a bit green around here... The pleasure is mine Suruga.

…

Is there something wrong Suruga?

Bwaha! coming straight into my intimacy with the forename addressing, you think it's pretty slick huh Matagi-kun.

Houston we have a problem

Shade to Shade

Oh, wait that's right! You aren't accustomed in Japan are you Matagi-san, I suppose the familiarity of names is not much of thought up north is it.

!SAFE!

Lax

No, not really.

Hahaha, I must admit we were slightly shocked to know a northerner such as yourself would be the transfer student of all people, I'd have suspected the occasional Korean, American army-kid, English otaku or Brazilian born being the ones of entry. But Karafuto, wow. It must be something unimaginable over there. Even Siberia! From what I know it has those cute tigers and freezing terrains no?

… cute tigers is a bit… light to say, I think.

Whaddya mean?

I mean… Well, maybe I am not one of good opinion or even have an opinion in terms of cute stuff. But tigers, especially the Siberian breed are fatal maneaters you know that right?

Nya

Grrrrrrrrr

…Uh umm! I was trying to keep the conversation light, that's all.

Flying Elephant

!Dumbo!

Oh yeah, totally…

Yeesh, you're a bit peculiar Matagi-san. Are all northeners of the same stock like yourself?

Umm. I like to think we are different in taste but not fortitude.

Hmmm… In what sense by fortitude?

Inquire

It takes a certain collective group of individuals to tame and coexist with an environment like Siberia. The callous cold and barren tundra does not hold our hand in birthday and celebration.

Pretentious

Truth

Bwahahaha! Is that the Russian literature you mentioned in your introduction to us? I was beginning to believe you were a bit stiff and rugged with that disposition of yours. But you pull a cliché as an answer.

Oh? How do you know about Russian literature may I ask… Kanbaru-san? Not to sound condescending.

Oh, you know the tropes, the archetypes, the perversion and detail I read in one of my BL manga.

?Manga?

?Kamehameha?

These tropes and archetypes are prevalent in the manga your reading? What is it called? I've always assumed Russian Literature was a niche interest amongst the Japanese social scenes.

Ha Matagi-san! It just so happens that a manga published by Shoujo Jump, takes place in the Russo-Japanese war, following a Russian poet detailing the mysticism of this Japanese soldier who's defying his fate! Its acclaimed for the dynamic romance and (in)famous for the Mangaka's illustration of Male Buttocks.

…How does that relate to Russian Literature?

Well it is from the point of view of a Russian Poet. His forename is Popovich actually.

Clarity

Popopopopovich

Back to what you were asking me Kanbaru-san. Who's the individual you are trying to find? Is he a threat or something?

Hmm? Oh! Nope. He's my Sempai. Well our sempai. I thought he passed by you and was going to skip class for today. He still needs to come by my place and help me organize my room. I've left it in a disarray for too long that it now requires a slave and a master to do it solely.

Ahoge

Master

Sama-ama-ama

Dono-ono-ono-ona

Master? Is he like a fucking 3 dan black belt champ of the Shit-Cleaning dojo or something, his special secret technique would probably be calle-… ah, I apologize for the crass language. It comes out time and then...

Tightened

Taut

…You really are a weird guy Matagi-san. I've met my fair share of foreign strangers in this strange land of ours. But they all seemed aware and respectful in some way or another of our customs. You, on the other hand I presume knew about the forename implication and the light small talk, right?

Nod

There you go! You even nod 2 times instead of the familiar three times or one! You refuse to know about the mainstream products like the Shoujo Jump manga that's on the rise of stardom.

Poetic Popovich

You seem disrespectful of speech in regards to upperclassmen, especially in weird sense of humor that I guess you only find hilarious and gag-worthy.

Osu

And most of all you come across 5x more Perplexing in regards to the North, Karafuto and Siberia. You speak of it in a way that only you know the truth, the beautiful truth of it all.

Sigh… The beautiful truth of it all huh… Kanbaru-san I must apologize again, this time for that accurate first impression of me. I still have allot to unpack here. Not in regards of my transfer mind you. but just some ideology I am trying to get my wits around. I'd tell you why I'm like this in regards to my attitude but as I must stress, I still have allot to unpack. Another time hopefully.

Partially Truthful

Partially Gibberish

…. ...Hmm. Do you read stuff by Junji Ito Matagi-san?

No, I don't think I know who that is.

He's a Mangaka from Tokyo I think? It doesn't matter where he is from. What I'm trying to say, is that you are a bit brooding and unexplained like his stories are. You have this aroma of horror and fatalism about you ever since I first saw you at your Introduction. And I think now I was put under an illusion thinking Araragi-Sempaiii went toward your area. When I know he clearly didn't because the fastest way to the school exit is the detour by the uniform shop.

Gust to Gust

Sweat to Muscle

Muscle to Sweat

Kanbaru-san what are you trying to insinuate may I ask?

Can I have your contact Matagi-san, I would like to introduce to you to Araragi-Sempaiii. He would probably help you unpack whatever is your trying to unpack. He's the only high schooler I know who can.

Bell

xBreakx

Last Munch

Ah! What! Break is over already. Oh? oh! thanks for the contact Matagi-san. I'll probably hit you up tomorrow Sunday.

I am guessing you are not coming back to class Kanbaru-san.

Nah, no can do. I gotta catch up with Araragi-Sempaiii, A slave can't do much without the encouragement from the master, can she. Hehe.

Stride

Sweats Away

Sweats No More

…Master... ...Slave...?

Duality

Araragi… sigh. I must admit The Birth of Momotaro is more engaging than to what I'd imagine from an artsy dartsy establishment like this one… …Ah Shit, but tomorrow I got do my conditioning and meditation, I gotta let Suruga know it ain't a viable day for this pataphysical unpacking of mine. Oh, fuck that's the correct terminology for this setting ain't it. Pataphysical. Although Suruga is…
