Returning to Osaka (Part 2): Catching up with Old Friends
By Kitsuneroyale
As Osaka arrives to her hometown, the family first stopped at Osaka's previous high school. When Osaka first stepped into her school, the first thing she remembered was her old school teacher.
Osaka: Hi sensei!
Sensei: Are you Ayumu?
Osaka: Yes.
Sensei: I've missed you for so long! How did you go at your school?
Osaka: Awful. I seem to have lost all of my knowledge.
Sensei: At least it's nice to see you again.
A mint-haired girl named Aya walked into the middle of the corridor. She notices Ayumu; she was easy to spot with her long hair. Aya walks up to the entrance of the school.
Aya: Ayumu! How long has it been?
Osaka: Less than a year.
Aya: You haven't changed a bit.
Osaka: But you have. Why do you have mint hair? Did you fell into a toxic vat?
Aya: No. I don't know how I ended up with the colour.
Osaka: What was your original hair colour?
Aya: Amber (NOTE: This may spark a possible tie to Koyomi Mizuhara).
Osaka: And what's with the glasses?
Aya: Someone hit me with a lead pipe in my face, so that's why I have glasses.
Osaka: Maybe that wouldn't that have happened if I haven't left…
Aya: Some things can't be changed.
A Red, pigtailed girl walked up to Aya (NOTE: Chiyo rip-off)
Aya: Hey, Konan, look who's back.
Konan: Are you who I think you are?
Osaka: I'm Ayumu Kasuga.
Konan: Ayumu! Where have you been?
Osaka: Last time I remembered, I was back here.
Konan and Aya both laugh.
Konan: The school must have been unnamed to the public.
Aya: You must have some interesting stories to tell us. Where should we go?
Osaka: I was thinking where we used to go.
The scene later switched to a cake buffet shop. Osaka, Aya and Konan all enter and sit at the corner of the room with a window.
Osaka: What happened when I was gone? I know that you were bashed in the head with a pipe, so you had to wear glasses, and your hair was dyed as well, but what happened to you while I was gone?
Konan: I started visiting comic conventions and cosplays. I normally parodied a blue-haired otaku.
Osaka: Why didn't you dye your hair?
Konan: I had a wig for that.
Osaka: Oh. Did you make any new friends?
Aya: Just one, over there.
A white, long-haired girl, walks into the store and spots Aya. She is wearing a black shirt. Around that she is wearing a white trench coat. Below the shirt, she is wearing blue jeans with a black belt, and black shoes. Sitting on top of her head is a black baggy cap. She sits at the table where Osaka is sitting. She goes by the nickname "Polecat".
Polecat: Hi Aya. Konan.
Aya: Good to see you again.
Polecat: Who is that brunette sitting next to you?
Aya: That's Ayumu Kasuga. She just told me that she was called "Osaka" by her friend Tomo.
Polecat: Nice to meet you Osaka! My name is Yuta Midori, but I go by the name of Polecat, mainly because of the line in the middle.
Yuta takes off her baggy hat to reveal her line in the middle.
Osaka: Hi Yuta. What are your interests?
Polecat: My interests are mainly cosplaying, so I normally put on too many wigs. I'm also athletic, but I might feel shy talking to other people.
Konan: I guess that we have an otaku here.
Polecat somewhat feels angry over that comment. She attempts to suppress her anger.
Polecat: What did you just say?
Konan: *PANICS* NOTHING!
Osaka: Would you like to have something to calm your ocean?
Polecat: What?
Osaka: Would you like to eat?
Polecat: Yes.
Polecat, Osaka, Aya and Konan all pick their own cakes.
Polecat: Are you going to finish your cakes?
Konan: What about you?
Shows Polecat holding a plate with 20 slices of cake.
Polecat: To me, that is the normal amount for cake.
They then go back to their table.
Polecat, Osaka, Aya and Konan: ITADAKIMASU (Time to eat)!
When Polecat finishes her plate, she feels relieved.
Polecat: That was one of my favourite cakes.
Aya: But you only finished it all in 1 minute.
Polecat: I like to eat.
Osaka: You must've been hungry.
Polecat: I guess. What happened while you were gone, Ayumu?
Osaka: After I left Osaka, I was actually a straight-A student. However, I seem to have to lost my flame when I kept thinking about something else.
Polecat: Ouch.
Aya: That's one way to put it, Polecat, but that's not the point. Osaka seems to have lost her potential, somehow. So where do you live, Osaka?
Osaka: Over there.
Points to Osaka's house. It turns out that Osaka has lived next to the school and the cake buffet shop.
Polecat: Wow. Can we see your house?
Osaka: Okay.
While they were about to enter the house, a khaki, short-haired girl opens the door.
?: WELCOME BACK AYUMU!
Polecat: And who's that bitch over there?
Osaka slaps Polecat.
Osaka: YOU IDIOT! That's my nephew Yui. She's been house-sitting for me while I was gone.
Konan: She seems nice. Why did you swear at her?
Polecat: She reminded me of one of my old friends, Tomo. She looked so petite. Nothing like my other friend, Yomi. Why does she even wear those glasses?
Aya: Well, she wasn't bashed in the face by a lead pipe, I can tell you that.
Yui: Would you care to go in?
Osaka, Konan, Aya and Polecat all walk inside Osaka's house. Osaka's cat, Iro, noticed Osaka's footsteps, and climbs onto Osaka. Somehow, the cat's weight makes her fall backwards.
Polecat: That's just weird.
Osaka: Could you please get off me, Iro.
Iro meows kindly, and gets off of Osaka.
The room looks much like a typical Japanese home. Clearly, they weren't very surprised, but they did spot the kotatsu. Osaka seemed to have mainly enjoyed the kotatsu every day after school, to relieve her from stress.
Polecat: Can we visit your room?
Osaka: Okay.
Osaka leads them up the stairs. Aya attempts to open the door, but it's locked.
Aya: It's locked.
Polecat: Leave it to me.
Polecat pours soap over the door. Polecat attempts to open the door, but she only made it worse.
Osaka: I'll handle this. Yui!
Yui comes up with the key for Osaka's room. Yui opens the door, and the door slides out.
Osaka: Here is my room.
Aya, Konan and Polecat are shocked. Osaka's bedroom also has a kotatsu.
Konan: How many kotatsus do you have?
Osaka: 5.
Polecat faints face first on the floor.
Osaka: Did that get to her?
Aya and Konan also faint face first on the floor.
Osaka: Yui!
A note of Kitsuneroyale: My theory is that Osaka was smart, before she moved to a new city, and Tomo was originally from Osaka, which somewhat makes sense for Ayumu Kasuga to be called Osaka.
Another note of Kitsuneroyale: To end this chapter like this may sound unusual, but several people do that to mix the entire thing up.
