Chapter 4

Time: Saturday-Morning, Place: Osaka Residential Area.

Kentaro had some time before school started, apparently a new event was for today, so he got to come later due to the preparation needed to set up. Won't bite a gift horse in the mouth. Glad I get to sleep in a bit. Despite this free time, Kentaro made his way towards the school. Don't have anything else to do anyways. Might as well take a walk around town. Like he thought, Kentaro decided to walk around to get himself familiar with the town he lived in. Soon he found himself standing around at a convenience store. Unsure of what to do, he stood just waiting out the clock as he waited for school to start. Can't wait to start that job, I'll get something to do. "Hey?" Might join a club too. "Hello?" Maybe Itsuka will want to hang out too…

"HEY!" with that shout, Kentaro jumped and looked around frantically. He then(after calming down a bit) sees a black haired girl irritated in front of him.

"Uh… Hello?" Kentaro said, unsure of what to say after that shout.

"Hmph, finally you notice." the girl said with venom.

"Sorry, sorry, did you need something?"

"Yeah, you're in the way." Kentaro then realized he was standing in front of the door to the store.

Sheepishly, Kentaro nodded and moved, so the girl could enter. Thinking that enough time had passed he moved towards the school. Then he froze when a voice yelled out.

"Wait!" The girl came back out holding a carton of strawberry milk.

"Here." She said, handing him the carton.

"W-what?"

"You were waiting for school or something right? Breakfast is important so here."

Not understanding the gesture, Kentaro took the milk with him. "Uh.. Thanks, sorry for earlier."

"Don't worry, just watch yourself, Mono?" with a cheeky grin she left back into the store. Leaving the confused teen alone.

"Uh.." He took a look at the milk in his hand "What?"

Time: Saturday-Lunch Place:Junbon Class 2-A

Kentaro went through the entire morning still confused about what had happened. It was kind of her to do so, but why? Why give someone she doesn't know milk of all things… He pondered as he prepared to eat his lunch alone. In fact, I was in her way as well, why do anything if-

"Heyo!" Kentaro jumped a little as Itsuka pulled his desk closer.

"Saw you alone and knew I gotta fix that!" he said with a small smile.

"For real!?" gesturing towards the bento "Did you make that yourself?'

Heh, nice distraction thanks was said in Kentaro's stare, "yea, I live alone, so I learned how to cook." Noticing the hungry gaze given he asked if Itsuka wanted any.

"Hell Ya dude" He picked a healthy portion and swallowed the whole bite. A couple seconds passed, then some more. Finally, Itsuka spoke.

"Can, Can you make this for me every day?" He said with a puppy stare.

"Uh" Kentaro gave a complex stare to that request.

"Oh! I mean normally of course." He coughed then continued, "I much rather eat your cooking then my own you know?" "Please" as he clapped his hands together.

Well? I don't have the money to do so. Wait, I got it! "Instead how about I teach you" Itsuka gave a questioning gaze. "I can't afford two mouths, so what if I teach you. It'll be better than you'll have food you like too."

Itsuka stared a bit, then looked around the room frantically, then he spoke. "Hmm, It isn't fair if I am the only one who gets something.. Then if you teach me how to cook like you, I'll teach you how to throw a killer ball!" He sounded excited, "I promise it'll be fun." "please?"

Throwing a ball? Well, it'll be an experience that's for sure. "Alright then, deal"

"Sweet!" He went to move his desk as lunch was starting to end. "And trust me, it'll be more than just throwing you know."

The two then proceeded to talk about both cooking and a good arm and Kentaro learned how to theoretically, throw a ball right.

Time:Afternoon Place: Junbon Hallways

Kentaro found himself roaming the halls, apparently this new event needed more to work on but was gonna start later in the week. I don't think these people know how to run a school. At least we got a late start, so I'm fine with it. Shan't look a gift horse in the mouth Kentaro paused in his steps and looked side to side, at least, I think that's how the saying goes.

"Ehhhhh" Kentaro question nothing

"Hmmmm" Kentaro looked around

"Aughhhh" Kentaro started to look for the source

"eeehh-w-whoa" *c r a s h* Kentaro found the source, a girl who was on the ground surrounded by lots of machine parts. It looked natural as the aquanette laid there.

"Uh." seriously why is that the first thing I always say!? "Are you ok? Not dead or anything right?"

As if the girl thought those questions were something new and exciting, she squirmed a bit and frantically spoke to her watcher. "ehh? " nice "err, I mean yea I could use some help here."

After pushing the tools and such off of the brunette, Kentaro saw a simple school uniform, along with a patted headdress. The girl flushed under the gaze which in turn followed onto Kentaro.

"Uh, sorry" he said sheepishly.

"It's fine, I know what I wear is a bit over school dress code and all…" She squirmed under the pressure.

"Soo" Kentaro trying to change the subject "what is all of this anyway?"

The girl's normal color returned and her eyes glowed with excitement. "Oh, Oh! I am a part of the engineering club, well the only member really...but I was heading up to set the stuff in our designated classroom."

"Alright let me help"

"Sure grab a box and… W-wait what?" The girl hadn't expected the boy in front of her to both help her before nor ask to continue to help.

"Great, which classroom are you going to?" Kentaro said while grabbing a box.

"Uh, Aww, science room." She whispered.

"Um, what did you say?"

"Science room, that is where the club would be going to be" she had composed herself enough to continue speaking.

"Alright" The two continued in silence as they reached the class with no problems.

"Uh, this is the place thanks again."

"No problem" Kentaro moved to leave as his help was over.

"W-wait!" the girl called out before it was too late.

"? Yeah?" Kentaro asked, wondering where this was going.

"W-what's your name?"

With a smile Kentaro answered. "Kentaro Abihara"

"Thanks Abihara-san" She messed with her hair a bit then continued, "I'm Hina Tosaka, nice to meet you" She said with a bow.

"Nice to meet you too"

Time: Saturday-Evening Place:Osaka Backstreets

After a somewhat eventful day, Kentaro made his way back towards his apartment. Met two new people, made a deal. Not to mention I have a job tomorrow. Things are looking great! With a bounce of comedic timing, a large crash appeared right before him. Kentaro, understandably startled, bounced at the sound and almost took off running. Wait, I know it's not the smartest thing but what if someone's hurt? He looked at where the sound was and recalled the loud crash. But with how heavy that sounded, what if they're something else. As the possibilities rose in his head, Kentaro(regardless of better judgment) went towards the source of the noise.

"Hello? Anyone here?" If it's nothing then no problem. But if there is then they might be seriously hurt. He thought grimly. As he made his way, he found the source. A girl in silver lying in garbage.

"Hey, are you ok?" Kentaro asked. Whew, nothing bad alright lets see if she- His thoughts were interrupted as he noticed the wounds all around. Shit. Shit SHIt.

"HEY, Hey you alright!?" Are those gunshots? She seems a bit burned too. What the hell happened!? He noticed her skin while analyzing her wounds and saw it a bit different from his. Now that I get a closer look, He touched her fearing she might be already gone. She's cold...but also… She isn't HUMAN!? Choosing not to freak out more than he already has. He now knew that taking her to a hospital was out of the question. What do I do… I have some tools, but I don't know how to fix a robot… Is she even a robot? She looks human. I don't know. After looking back towards the girl, Kentaro knew what he had to do.

"I'll see what I can do for now. I hope I can help" He then picked up the injured android and took her back to his home, hoping he could do something to help.
