Okay, and here we are with the second half of the Free Time Events! Now you'll get to find out more about some of the other students of this class, hopefully, if I do a good enough job anyways. Anyways, let's get started.
Chapter 1-3: Pure Love True Hate- Daily Life
Hanako stretched as she woke up after the morning announcements went off, signaling the day has started. She yawned softly as she left her room and heading to the dining room, only to be stopped from entering with a poof of smoke in front of her, revealing Monomaho.
"I just learned about your little slumber party happening tommorow." Monomaho said with a serious expression for a few seconds before a depressed look appeared on her face. "Why wasn't I told about it? I know it would be weird for the teacher to join a student event, but still..."
Hanako sweatdropped as the cat mumbled to herself. She was about to say something before Monomaho perked up again.
"Well, even if I wasn't invited, I can help out in other ways! So look forward to it!" Monomaho said before she disappeared in another poof of smoke.
"... Okay then." Hanako said to herself as she finally entered the dining room.
"Hi Hana!" Gerard waved happily as Hanako sat down beside her.
"Hey." Hanako smiled back before looking around the table. She saw everyone was there, most of them sitting with people they liked, while others... She giggled softly as she looked at the groaning zombie on the other side of her.
"Of all places you could have sat in, you chose the one by me." Noburo complained, resting his head on his arms.
"Well, I couldn't deprive you of my wonderful company, now could I?" Hanako winked and smirked as Noburo groaned again.
"I'm really looking forward to the sleepover tomorrow!" Gerard said, bouncing lightly in her seat.
"I'm not. I'm just going to stay in my room." Noburo said.
"Well, we may have to be careful either way." Hanako said with a soft sigh.
"Oh? Why is that?" Phoebe asked, having overheard their conversation, and causing almost all the others to turn towards them.
"Monomaho found out about the sleepover and decided to help out, whatever that means in regards to her." Hanako explained.
That sent a nervous tension through the group at the thought of what that magical cat could do.
"Should we cancel the sleepover then?" Cora asked nervously. "Monomaho might do something drastic."
"That's probably her plan." Mila bluntly said. "She wants us to be nervous and on edge. That sleepover being cancel will probably help stress us out more."
"Then let's just ignore what she's doing." Chase commented. "Not like it matters one way or the other to me."
"Although I don't agree with his word choice, he's right. We gain nothing by worrying about what she might or might not be doing." Phoebe said.
"Sounds good to me." Takeshi smiled. "It's still going to be a fun night regardless."
"Yeah!" Gerard cheerfully agreed, and just like that, the cheerful atmosphere had returned to the group. It probably helped that the more cheerful of the bunch picked up on the most optimistic parts of the conversation.
It wasn't too long until breakfast was finished with and everyone went off to do their own thing for the day.
"Now, who should I grace with my presence today?" Hanako wondered out loud as she walked down the hall, stopping when she heard the familiar groan of a certain zombie boy and headed towards it.
Hanako smiled once she saw the other and waved. "Hi Nooby~!" Giggling slightly as a louder groan came out of Noburo before he turned his head towards her.
"What do you want?" Noburo demanded.
"I wanted to hang out with my dear favorite Nooby~" Hanako cooed.
"My name is Noburo. Why do you insist on calling me that?" Noburo asked, now fully facing her.
"Because it gets you riled up, and I find that adorable." Hanako explained.
"Of course that's why." Noburo muttered as he facepalmed. "Why are you and Gerard so fascinated with me anyways? I'm nothing special."
"Well, I feel like it's rather obvious Gerard is happy there's another undead like her around." She explained offhandedly, although she did noticed Noburo seemed to tense up, which she found rather odd. Was it something she said? "And I just like you, my little zombie friend."
She was surprised by the intense look Noburo suddenly gave her. What would cause that kind of reaction.
"Leave me alone." Noburo said, finally moving, brushing past her and knocking his shoulder into her as he walked by. Hanako watched as he disappeared down the hallway.
"What was that about?" She asked herself, standing there for a moment before finally continuing her walk.
As she walked, she saw the door leading to the backyard and decided to head on out. She stepped into the garden and looked around, seeing that nobody else seemed to be around. The fish ponds were still the same, the fish probably relieved that Loch wasn't there to antagonize them. Although, surprisingly the pool that Yuria froze on the first day was still frozen.
"Hm, I would've thought that the ice would've melted by now." Hanako wondered out loud, before a sudden voice startled her.
"That's because I've been refreezing it for my practice." Yuria said as Hanako spun around to face her.
"Geez, don't sneak up on people like that. How long were you standing there?" Hanako asked, trying to unruffle herself.
"Merely a few moments. I came out here a little after you did." Yuria explained.
"Well, that explains that, I guess." Hanako said. "But do you seriously come here to train so often?"
"My parents were rather insistent that I train to be the best, and I don't intend to stop just because we're trapped in this mansion." Yuria said casually.
"Wow, so you just train and train all the time? Nothing else?" Hanako asked. She blinked as she thought she saw the faintest of blushes dust across Yuria face.
"Well, there is another in my life that I also devote my time to." The ice fairy said, a hand fiddling with her outfit.
"Hm? And what would that be?" Hanako said, a teasing smile forming on her face as she picked up on the signs. "A special someone perhaps?"
"Perhaps. Although I'm not comfortable speaking about them to someone else yet." Yuria said.
"Oh, don't worry. It's not like I'm gonna try to steal you away from them or vice versa. Unless you want me to that is." Hanako winked.
Yuria gave her a bit of a flat look at that. "Right. I should get to practicing."
"Alright, alright. I'll leave you to it." Hanako relented as she headed back inside. "I was just joking anyways." She commented offhandedly before she closed the door behind her.
"Didn't take her for a romantic type." Hanako hummed softly as she continued her walk.
She continued humming until she noticed someone standing just outside of Yvette's Ultimate Lab, she walked up to the person and saw that it was Kenzo. She smirked as she snuck up behind him.
"You trying to peek in on her?" She whispered behind him, giggling when the racer jumped out of his skin, figuratively of course, although it would've been interesting if he was a skeleton.
"What the fuck?!" Kenzo shouted as he turned around and glared at her, causing her to giggle more.
"Surprised to see me, Kenzo?" Hanako asked, still unashamedly laughing at how Kenzo reacted to her little scare.
"As much as I hate to admit it." Kenzo grumbled as he crossed his arms.
"Oh, don't be like that. It was all in good fun." Hanako waved it off, having finally stopped laughing. "Now, why don't you tell me about why you're standing outside Yvette's Ultimate Lab?"
"I don't have to tell you a thing." Kenzo stubbornly said.
"Hm, well, if you're going to be like that. I guess I'll have to bug you about another topic." Hanako said, causing Kenzo to groan.
"Oh, great, what is it?"
"Perhaps you can tell me about your car or any of your races." Hanako said.
"Are you serious? That's all?" Kenzo asked.
Hanako shrugged. "See as how I can fly or teleport, I don't normally ride in anything like that. Genuine curiosity, you could say."
Kenzo looked at her for a moment, trying to see if she was up to anything. "... Fine."
"Glad we could come to an agreement." Hanako teased softly.
"I will leave." Kenzo threatened.
"Fine, fine." Hanako mock sighed. "Now, did you always have the same car?"
"... No, my first race I won was in my grandparents' car, as I didn't have any money at the time." Kenzo explained. "After that one, me and my little sister took a number of odd jobs to get enough money to buy one."
"You have a sister?" Hanako asked, surprised.
"Yes, I do. Not that it's any of your business." Kenzo said.
"How did a grump like you get a cute little sister anyways?"
"And I already regret telling you." Kenzo groaned.
"Well, come on, tell me about her. What's her name?" Hanako insisted.
"Her name's Ryo." Keno said after a moment.
"Aw, I bet Ryo really looks up to her big brother~" Hanako cooed. "I bet she was there for all your races."
"Not all of them..." Kenzo muttered quietly to himself.
"What was that?" Hanako asked. "I didn't quite get that."
"It's nothing. Forget about it." Kenzo said, turning to walk away.
"Aw, but I want to hear more about your little sister." Hanako whined a bit.
"Just leave me alone." Kenzo said, walking away.
"Did I say something wrong? He never reacted like that to my teasing." Hanako said to herself as she thought about what happened.
She was only broken out of her thoughts when the nighttime announcements went off.
"Ah, well, better go to bed."
She headed back to her room, not seeing anything out of the ordinary in the common room as she passed by it.
"Monomaho must still be working on it." She said to herself as she entered her room, locking the door behind her before she got ready for bed.
She sighed softly as she laid down. "Hopefully the sleepover goes over well." She muttered one more time before she went to sleep.
And here we are for the last Free Time Events. So, what'd you think? Hopefully I did the characters well enough. Next chapter is the Motive and maybe murder. Wonder if any of you can guess who might be the first victim. Anyways, I'll see y'all next time!
