Chapter 4:Suspicions
After the new student, Michiyo Higurashi introduced herself, Narumi-sensei noticed that the whole class was silent, still dumbfounded of what they've seen in front of them he felt the need to lighten up, if not change the atmosphere.
"Minna-san, don't treat your new classmates like that, it's not a kind of respond that a cute lady deserves." Narumi-sensei snapped them out from their trance with his usual cheerful tone. "I know that she is very identical to Mikan-chan except for the eyes and alice but they're really complete individuals, right Michiyo-chan?" asked Narumi-sensei.
"Of course! There's no way that she and I will ever be the same," Michiyo stared at Mikan menacingly.
Narumi-sensei didn't notice it so he continued, "To formally start your first day, we must find you a partner."
"Me, Narumi-sensei! I'm willing to be Michiyo-chan's partner!" Narumi heard from one of the students.
"Ah, well then. Is it alright with you Michiyo-chan to be partnered with Luna-chan?"
"Alright." Michiyo answered in a low indifferent tone, and then made her way to her seat beside Luna.
While the class is on, two pairs of suspecting eyes were watching them.
"Something fishy is going on with those two." Hotaru thought as she stuffed some flavored crab and lobster sandwich in her mouth.
'Is this one of Persona's antics? But judging from the looks of it, the new student doesn't seem to know Luna at all. Still, I will not let my guard down since she's also in my class (Natsume clenched his fist). Maybe those two are just putting up a show so that they won't be jinx right away.' Natsume thought as he slid back his shonen manga on his face.
-Fast forward-
The class is dismissed and Mikan went hurriedly to Michiyo to formally introduce herself, only to be brushed off like a piece of dirt that needs to be removed, but being her usual being - always seeing the good qualities of other people-, she simply thought that she was just shy to mingle as of the moment. So the rejected Mikan changed her target towards her best friend since she cannot control herself anymore if she can't hug her. She opened her arms wide and slowly towards her best friend who was busy doing on her new invention. But before she could touch her, she was electrocuted of something unknown what a surprise. When Mikan regained back her consciousness, she excitingly asked Hotaru about the thing that knocked her down.
Opening of Hotaru's Invention Demonstration
Invisible Electric Barrier
This barrier is used to protect yourself from people who are idiot, stupid, moron, imbecile and the like without running yourselves away from them. It costs only for 500,000,000 rabbits and it's a limited offer only.
End of Hotaru's Invention Demonstration
"So that's…how…it is…" Mikan said in a very low tone with sparkling eyes, filled with awe.
While trying to be on her feet, Mikan suddenly felt dizzy, considering that she just regained consciousness after being electrocuted... or is it because of something else? Her whole surrounding started to spin, her knees felt numb, and without a warning, she fainted, luckily, two arms rescued her from that painful fall.
