Ch. 3: Otagai o Yoku Shirimasu
The scene shifts at the mansion where Hiro arrived after classes at Sasanaki Middle School, carrying the groceries as Sawawa is following him, and the siblings are getting ready to go inside the mansion, and as Sawawa went in first, Hiro stood outside as he had quite a day as he resumed classes after his involvement at the Monster Kingdom where he indirectly aided Hime in defeating Severin, and as he is standing at the door of the mansion, he recalled what went on at class as he could not believe that a new student became his classmate, a girl, and she said that she was Hiro's childhood friend.
Hiro had a hard time as he tried to recall how and where he first met Riho and it took until the end of classes to fully recall their childhood memories, and he is forced to recall what went on at school where Riho first arrived at the section he is in.
~x~
The scene shows that the teacher came and told everyone to take their seats and announced that they are having a new classmate starting today, and everyone wondered who this new classmate is, curious to know if the new student is a boy or a girl, and Hiro himself was surprised, as he had no idea that there would be a transfer student here, and there were no signs or indication that there would be a transferee coming to this school.
After that, the teacher motions the new student to come inside, and the new student appeared to be a girl, having the same height and build like Hiro, and having brown hair, shoulder-length, and is wearing the standard school uniform of Sasanaki Middle School. The students inside the classroom were somewhat curious as she appeared to be cute-looking, and there the new student wrote her name on the white board using the marker, and identified herself as Riho Yorihimi.
Hiro then stared curiously at Riho, as if he had a feeling that he has seen her before, and there the teacher tells Riho to take a seat, and she went forward and chooses her spot, where she sat right next to Hiro, much to the students' surprises seeing that she chose to sit next to Hiro, wondering why she chose to sit next to a wimpy guy, feeling that it does not suit her.
Hiro, glanced at Riho, as he is still wondering if he has met her before, and there Riho spoke to him.
"Hiro."
"Huh?"
"We meet again..."
"How...how do you know my name...?"
"..."
"Have we met before...?"
"Yes. A long time ago...as kids..."
"Eh?"
As Hiro tried to figure out what Riho meant, the teacher urged everyone to pay attention as classes are about to begin.
After 45 minutes it was recess and there Riho continued her conversation with Hiro, and told him that they met somewhere in Yokohama about a decade ago, and even showed him the picture they had, which was dated 10 years ago, and the background is that of a playground, where he slowly recalled the place, and despite this he is unable to recall the time that he and Riho met back then but he still decided to befriend her as she seem to know about him and asks what they did 10 years ago before getting separated.
"So…um…Yorihimi-san…"
"Call me Riho…"
"Okay…Riho-san…what exactly did we do ten years ago..?"
"We used to play at the park…"
"We…did?"
"Yes…it was a memorable one."
"…really…?"
"Yes…but…"
Riho told Hiro that they used to play on the see-saw, the slide and even hang out at his old house in Yokohama, which was a simple house, but after seven months her family had to move out and relocate at Tokyo. Riho told Hiro that she visited Yokohama five years later (in which both Hiro and Riho are aged 9 at that time) and found out that the house where the Hiyorimi family is empty and that Hiro is already gone, which saddened her.
Riho then told Hiro that she and her parents relocated at Sasanaki about five months ago, and there she revealed that she was able to recognize Hiro when she saw him riding with Riza a few months back, and from there she exerted a lot of effort to locate him and find the school he is studying, and thus, here she is in front of Hiro.
"Eh…?"
"…"
"Then…"
"Yes, Hiro."
"Um…"
"You…still recognize me after all these years…?"
"Yes…and I am glad to have found you."
"…"
Hiro could not believe what he just heard, that Riho has been trying to track him all these years and was able to recognize him despite bring 14, and as they talked even more, he is starting to recall most of his childhood years, and soon their friendship has rekindled, and there Riho asks him where is he living, and Hiro told her that he and his elder sister are currently residing within Sasanaki, and this made Riho curious as she asks him about his parents, and Hiro sadly told her that his and Sawawa's parents passed away years ago.
"Sorry…my parents died long ago…"
"Seriously…?"
"…yes…"
"I see…"
"…"
"Sorry if I…"
"Oh, it's okay…"
"Really…?"
Riho was saddened upon hearing this and apologized, which he said it was okay, and as the two talked some more, Bucchi was watching them in secret, taking notes as he finds it intriguing that a girl claiming to be Hiro's childhood friend, and wondered if she has an ulterior motive, as he knows that Hiro is SURROUNDED by a lot of BEAUTIES: Hiro's elder sister Sawawa, the 2nd year upperclassman Reiri Kamura, Riza Wildman and Hime. Bucchi's other classmates are also suspicious of Riho, wondering why a cute girl like her would approach Hiro instead of other boys.
The rest of Hiro's classmates are also watching the two and they also aired similar sentiments, wondering what Riho sees in Hiro and why she would befriend him first before other boys, seeing that Hiro is not worth her time and she should instead socialize with her other classmates.
"Look at that…"
"That new student approached Hiyorimi first…"
"What does that guy have that we don't…?"
"Yeah…Hiyorimi is a wimp…"
"She should hang out with other boys…"
"Does that girl have weird tastes in boys…?"
"Hiyorimi is not worth her time…"
"I agree…"
By then, another teacher came and tells the students to take their seats as classes is about to commence, and everyone took their seats and classes is about to resume, as Riho appeared ready and Hiro could not feel but feel intrigued about her as she seemed to know about his younger days and what they did a decade ago and felt that she might help him restore his interest in knowing what hus childhood days are like, as in the past he had a very sad childhood due to his and Sawawa's parents passed away several years ago.
-x-
Hours later, it was lunchtime, and Hiro is seen dining at the cafeteria, eating his lunch, and as he is eating, he is approached by Reiri and there she told him that Sawawa asks her to tell Hiro that he will be meeting her at the market after school, saying that she is going shopping and she will be needing Hiro's assistance, as well as saying that Flandre is being recharged thus the gynoid could not assist Sawawa in doing the chores, and Hiro nodded as he decided to help his sister out.
"I see."
"So…are you…?"
"Yes, I will meet nee-chan after school."
"That's good to hear."
"Thanks for telling me, Reiri-san."
"Oh, it's not a problem."
"…"
"?"
By then Riho came and glanced at Hiro, seeing her talking to Reiri, and Reiri saw Riho, in which she became quite intrigued as she seemed to resemble Hiro, in height, and build, as well as sporting brown hair, but her hair length was shoulder-length, and she smiled at her as Riho bowed, and there Reiri tells Hiro that she is going, and as Reiri left, Riho approached Hiro and asks him who is Reiri, in which Hiro said that she is an upperclassman and a friend, and Riho glanced at the departing Reiri, feeling that something is not right, like why would an upperclassman be socializing students who are a year below her and asks if there is something going on between them.
"A senpai, huh?"
"?"
"Hiro-san…is there something going on between you two?"
"Eh…?"
"…"
"N-no…Reiri-san is a friend…nothing more!"
"Really?"
"Yes!"
Despite blushing, Hiro assured to her that he and Reiri are just friends and nothing else, and she felt relieved to hear that, and she tells him that she has free time this weekend and invited him to hang out with her which Hiro blinked his eyes, as he was never invited to hang out with a girl before, and when he asks her where, she said that there is a carnival somewhere within Sasanaki, and Hiro thought about it and asks if it is okay.
"A…carnival…?"
"Yes."
"…"
"If…you are not available…it is okay…"
"Is it okay for you to invite me out?"
"Yes, of course."
"Well…"
"Do not worry…leave everything to me."
After hearing her assurance, Hiro decided to accept the invitation and Riho smiled, and as the two classmates talked, other students are glancing at the two, intrigued to see that a new student has befriended Hiro and they wondered what she sees in him knowing that Hiro is clumsy and not a boyfriend-type, and they assume that Riho is a scatterbrain like Hiro being that the two looked similar to one another.
"Look at that…"
"She asked him out…"
"Is she really a ditz?"
"Or a scatterbrain…"
"Could be…they're both idiot-types…"
"Really?"
"Probably…they both looked alike…"
"Really…?"
The day went on until classes ended, and Hiro left to meet up with Sawawa, and Riho watches him leave as she is looking forward to meeting him the next day.
~x~
The scene shifts at the door of the mansion as Hiro was roused from his recollection as Sawawa was calling him, and Hiro hurriedly went inside the mansion as he placed the groceries at the counter of the kitchen, and the day went on until dinner arrived, and as everyone is having dinner, Reiri is glancing at Hiro as she has a feeling that something is odd, as she felt that something strange occurred at school earlier yet she is not sure if this is due to Riho.
To Be Continued...
