"Haaah . .. haaah, where are we . . .going" I took my time controlling my breathing as I ran a marathon around the dorm. I wonder how this girl keeps her strength? daily training? or some sort of supplements? (Dude, you can't be serious about this one?)
"Just follow me, dummy" Ram continued to drag me until we reached room 617: Plutia's room. . . and my room as well.
"what the-" as soon as I open the door. Silence was the first thing to greet me as everyone from my class was here in my room. staring me.
"Um . . .I'm back" their worried face started to affect me. I must have made them worried to death when they know I was in a near-death situation.
"Uh . . . . Guys "
*KA-POW*
My body would have sent flying by a small punch right in the solar plexus, I would've been more than dead if the railings didn't holding my body like a net. And damn, she punches harder than a truck.
"Bento is . . .S-STOOPID!" Peashy then ran towards me and slammed her body to my chest. I took my time to regain my senses and found that my shirt was all wet thanks to Peashy burying her sad face.
" . . . . "I soon felt really bad about what happened before. Traumatizing someone and a child in fact, is like a blasphemy in a holy bible(That's kinda too far).
I really hated myself now.
" . . I-I'm so sorry for worrying you all" I scrubbed her back slowly, it's surprisingly effective to calm a worried to death Peashy as she squeezed me tighter.(Well, she is still a child after all. What do you expect from her?)
" . . I really do-"My senses suddenly felt something sharp.
"Um, Peashy, You could let g-*Crack*" That was my spine.
"GYAAAAAAAH" This girl is too strong!
" Alright,now that we heard what we needed" Well ,that was escalated fast.
"Wait, Plutia. Are you really letting him off the hook?" Lyrica interrupted
"Um? Is there something wrong with that?" all of us shivered at the somewhat venomous drip in that last sentence.
"Um . . .no, but-"
"Then everythings good, right?" Everyone was silent. It took me by surprise how she can manage stuff like this. I mean, her part of the room was messier than me, I have trouble getting out of this room with her plushies scattered around like landmines. The landmine is no joke, because if you accidentally step on them . . .you'll feel cold dead eyes staring at you when you sleep, that even the best of dreams turned into nightmares..
"Then Lets all have some good sleep" The room falls to chaos after Plutia pulled a string from the roof.
"AAAAAAHHHHH" Everyone was now running for their lives as we're chased down by a wave of plushies Plutia made. "Holy crap, how did she make all of these?"!
"R-RAM, Help . .I . .can 't swim!"(Okay, who the hell swims at a room of pillows?)
While everyone was trying their best to breathe for air and groaning in pain. Peashy, on the other hand, laughed as if this is a simple slide for her. This kid really needs to some help.
"Wow . .i wish I could see the bright side of stuff"
The next day was just . . not right at the slightest. This is like I stepped into an alternate reality or something.
Everyone started to back away from me, except for my class since they were being pulled back instead. Everyone looked at me, disgusted As if I'm some kind of living plague or something, Even some of the teachers, and Miss Mina equipped themselves with some rubber gloves and a masker on. To add the fuel to the fire. Some students even whisper rumors about me, such as these two students discussed how I could bring misfortune just by touching my right arm.
"Hey, I can hear that Dammit" I can't take this treatment for another day. I decided to steel my wit to meet the principal, thankfully, the face of those two were priceless, It bought a bit of my good mood back.
I sat down in the bench next to the principals room. The fact that it feels like detention makes me slightly nervous, and I wonder if she will accept this damn proposal, or else I will spend the whole year in shame.
"Gaaah, that stupid sickness!why should you give me such burden?!" I argued even though I've been thought that everything won't always go my way by Kise.
" .*sigh*Now I'm thinking about his words of wisdom, whats next?" I heard a tapping sound from my right, and it's getting closer to my location.
"Probably someone who left her note or just passing by" I decide to ignore the new presence and listen to some jams to make my mind clear.
*Tap*
"Hm?"I placed my headset back to my neck as someone poked my shoulders, looking for my attention..
In front of me is someone not from this school: she had dark blue hair with part of it braided side-down into two pigtails, a matching pair of orange hairclips placed on her left hair. A purple shirt/tuxedo hybrid jacket with short sleeves and her belly buttons exposed, complete with a matching dark purple tie with a swirly diamond symbol imprinted, her hands were covered with gloves and a weird watch with a swirly symbol, a black miniskirt with suspenders behind her jacket.
"Can I sit there?" She asked with a monotone, pointing at the seat beside mine. "Yeah, sure. No problem" we both do nothing after she sat.
"Your being called by the principal or something" she asked, breaking the silence.
"yeah"
"whats your issue?" She asked
"I'm . .not in trouble, I just wanna request something" She looked at me, uninterested. This is more emphasized with her dark blue eyes gazing aimlessly at me. "I see". "How about you? A new student?" I never seen this girl anywhere in the school nor records of her in here.
"Yeah, along with my sister" from those sharpen glares filled with annoyance, I can tell she is holding a grudge against her. "You . .don't get along with her?"
"I-it's none of your business" she raised her voice distanced herself. I sighed tired at my rather selfish action" S-sorry, I got carried away" I chuckled embarrassingly, I always use this "method" to convince my boss, co-workers, or getting new jobs. even if I know it is inappropriate.
The door beside us opened up, a certain flying tome floats towards us. " Ah,Kurome . .And Vent as well?" Histoire seems surprised. "Is something wrong?"I asked, as I've already informed the blonde robot/Projection about my request, so my appearance here shouldn't be a shocker to her."N-no, Please come in, both of you" we both obeyed her and sat in the wooden chairs provided.
"So, Kurome Ankokuboshi . ."
"Yes?" The girl, now whom I know as Kurome, looked at Histoire seriously. "This is for the two of you" Two parcels thrice the size of Histoire flew towards Kurome with purple aura around it, is this Psychic energy?
"It has all things necessary for your stay here"I called it: she's a new student.
'I see" Kurome then returned to her seat. "What could be the matter, Kurome? Is there something else you want to say?" Hisotrie fixed her position on top of her tome.
"Um . . I want to hear this guys request"
"W-wha?" Both Histoire and I were surprised at her. 'A request . .for me?" Damn that receptionist at the desk, I thought you've send the words to Histoire.
"H-hey, I-it's not your business, you know" I said, feeling slightly unstable for my "luck".
"I think it's fair since you heard my part, You know that phrase [An eye for an eye], Right?" this girl, *sigh* I guess it doesn't really matter if she heard it anyway. "I guess it won't make much of a difference if you heard it" I handed Histoire an envelope, which I slipped from my right pocket. Histoire's eye widen in shock as she read the message thoroughly.
"Afternoon classes?"
"Yes, you must've know why I am here, right? the gossip already spread like wildfire "A sour face . "Vent, we didn't mean to exile or denigrate you, if only we know-" Histoire stopped as she realized that the context sounded like she was the one who spread the rumors, which probably wasn't true.
"No, it's okay. . .it's for the best . . .until I know whatever is wrong with me". The blonde oracle looked at me worried, her eyes were slightly moist as sadness paint her face. "I see, then I shall consult with Miss Mina-" Histoire's pupil changed into a wavelength like shape, and start talking to someone.
"You seemed very surprised about that?" so this is common in Gamindustri? I'm jealous of you guys. "W-well, yeah. I rarely seen this type of futuristic stuff here".
"Here? so . . your someone from this world, an "earthling" was it?" Wow, nice perception there. I let out a small laugher. "I guess . . you can call it like that" I was slightly annoyed by the nickname. But There are still Humans in Gamindustri. Like Falcom, and Lyrica. So . .i guess we can call it that since not every humans lived in earth.
A blip sound cause us to divert our attention back to Histy, assuming that she's finished her conversation with someone.
"I've talked with your homeroom teacher, Miss Mina, she say she doesn't mind your schedule change, although I'm worried if she could manage the extra worktime" I lowered my head down. I'm aware that I'm burdening her work, but . .what choice do I have? I can't just infect everyone here? especially my own classmates.
"Just . . please bare with it until I found the solution"
" . . .I see, then. You-"
"Wait-" We stopped as Kurome butted in, her eyes stared with gleaming interest despite her dark colored orbs." Actually, I would like to be with him for the whole ordeal".
"A-are you serious, Kurome?" a pair of shocked eyes stared at the Blunette(?) eyes." Yes, you know who I am, right" Who Kurome really is? Histoire's eyes were now grim as she seems to reminisce something painful, is there anything this girl did to her?
"I don't have any objection. then, I will report Miss Mina about this. Also Vent,-"
"Yes?"
"Vent . . please don't go" Plutia blocked the door of the room as I packed my belongings " I need to, you might be in danger if you stay with me"
"But . .I'll be lonely" No . .don't fall to the puppy eyes, Vent. We've seen worse than this." I'm . .sure your new roommate will be more amusing than me"I said with a half-assuring smile. Plutia, however didn't seem to buy it, she rather decline it. "No" This girl . . .
"*sigh* Look, I'm sorry . ..it's for the sake of you guys too . .please understand it" Plutia still rejected my decision, her face is as stiff as her dolls . . . yeah, I got hit by one, and it hurts like a trolley cart.
"I'll be back as soon as possible"
." . . .You promise" I see a small tear flowing of her now soaked eye. It feels painful to see her at this state." Yup-"I gave her the most prized card from the SP pack, Sunrise ray radiant sword, Gurguit(WHAT THE HELL, MAN?). "-If I don't come back, you can just tear that thing apart"
" . . .Really" at least she cheered a little, even though that thing is extremely rare due to how it nearly broke the meta the moment of it's release.
"Yeah . . " I said as if I'm ready to give my life to her. "Then . . .wait here just a moment" Plutia rumbled around her collection. "Here" she gave me a ragdoll of her, and took my ragdoll from behind it, but much more detailed . .. seriously, those eye parts are REAL, its like staring at my empty eyes. "Remind me when the hell did you make it?"
"You silly, i made it since day one . .. but It was halfway built since . . .*yawn* I'm rather sleepy . .ZZZzzz" with that she's already asleep. It's amazing that she can still be the air headed girl I knew, even with this situation. I took two huge ragdoll to act as my gloves, and set Plutia face up on the bed.
I closed the door behind me silently, beside me was Kurome, who was already with her own luggage: a huge sports bag that matches her whole attire.
"You really do care about her"
"Well, shall we?"
Heyaaa, Guys. I'm back. So I just finished adding Kurome and Uzume to this story. And I'm officially announce that this fanfic took place after megadimmension. I wonder, what madness could happen?
