Episode 3: The New School Life

Back with the young Amamiya brother, Kazuki bows to his principal and walks off. Making his way to class, he had run into another new student.

Yo! What's good?

Kazuki: Oh, hey. What's up?

I'm John Spicer. You can call me Johnny! I'm studying aboard here because I love this country's anime, games and manga! Especially ninja and stuff!

Kazuki: Ninja?!

John: Pleased to meet ya, bro!

Kazuki: Umm...Yeah...Likewise...bro.

Together, John and Kazuki arrived in the classroom, the homeroom teacher has the two give self-introductions. First impressions are important. How well this goes will decide how Kazuki's entire school life goes...

Kazuki: My name is Kazuki Amamiya. Pleased to meet y-...

Ah-hah!

Kazuki: You?!

Akari: You're the boy from this morning! Incredible, huh? It must be fate!

Kazuki: Wait...what? I don't understand what you mean!

Enju: The hentai from this morning...

Kazuki: Why're you calling me that?

I never thought I'd be in the same class as those two from this morning...

Aiko: You two know each other?

Kazuki: Yeah...I met them, on my way here.

Aiko: Perfect. Then you can take the empty seat behind Hanao.

Kazuki: A-Alright.

Kazuki walked over to his seat and placed his bag, beside him.

Akari: Hey!

The girl in the seat, in front of him casually turns her chair around to face Kazuki.

Akari: Nice to see you again, Kazuki. I'm Akari Hanao. We're in the same class...and our seats are so close...it's gotta be fate, right?!

Kazuki: I don't know if I'd call it that. More like a coincidence.

Akari: No, no, no...It's definitely fate! Pleased to meet you, Kazuki!

Kazuki: Yeah...Pleased to-...

Right at that moment...

Enju: Don't let him bother you, Akari. Just ignore him.

Kazuki: Huh? Oh...you're Enju, right?

Enju: Could you not say my name so casually?

Kazuki: So I'm right then?

Enju: What?! You tricked me!

Kazuki: You're the one who walked into that!

Akari: Hey, if you don't understand something, be sure to ask me or Enju, okay?!

Kazuki: That'd be great! Thank you!

Enju: Don't drag me into it!

Akari: But you know a lot more about the school than I do, Enju!

Kazuki: Seriously?

Akari: Enju is really amazing. She's a class rep and she's even on the student council!

Kazuki: Wow, you must be really talented.

Enju: Y-You think being praised by you makes me happy? Ahem...Oh well..I guess you have just transferred here. If you're having trouble, I suppose I can tell you whatever you need to know.

Kazuki: I appreciate that.

Enju: It's my job as class representative, after all...Just don't get the wrong idea.

Kazuki: Whatever you say! Thanks!

And so, the first period begins. The first lesson is moden Japanese. The subject of the lesson is a paper this year's goals that they have to turn in. This was the perfect subject for Kazuki right now...If he could write about it, that is.

Kazuki: Hmm...Alright, I know.

When there's something Kazuki didn't understand, it'll be quicker if he asked someone. But the question was...WHO should he ask?

Kazuki: Hey, Enju...What should I write for the paper?

Enju: You should think about that for yourself.

Kazuki: Please, help me! Class rep and student council member Enju-san!

Enju: *Sigh*...Well, it's about your goals for this year, right? So write about what you're hoping for. Do well in club activities...make a hundred friends...that sort of thing. Don't you have any goals like that?

Kazuki: Goals? Right, yeah...a quiet school life.

Enju: That's a pretty boring goal...

Kazuki: ...And prove my brothers innocence.

Enju: Huh? WHat for?

Kazuki: N-Nothing. It's not important. Family business.

Enju: Very well...

Kazuki: Yeah, well...that really is my only goal, though. I'm going to have a hard time writing a whole paragrah, let alone a whole paper.

Enju: Oh, don't worry about the word count. Just add some words here and there...make some things up to flesh it out a bit...it'll be fine.

Kazuki: Straight forward advice, huh? Nice. Are you really a straight-A student?!

At long last, the first period comes to an end.

John: Hey, Kazuki! How'd the lesson go...W-Whoa?!

Hey! John-San, where are you from?

Wow, such rich, blond hair. How cool!

And such a stud!

John: Hellooo... Hang on there, ladies, I'm not goin' anywhere!

Akari: Johnny, you're like...super popular!

Enju: That's right, unlike Kazuki.

Akari: What?! I don't think that's true at all!

Kazuki: It's fine. I like not standing out...and I'm never going to stand out more than exchange students, anyway.

Akari: Oh yeah...Since it's the start of the school year, how about we share our goals?

Kazuki: Is it just me, or does that sound a lot like the paper we just wrote?

Akari: I'll start. I want to try something for the first time...

Kazuki: You're totally ignoring me, huh?

Enju: Such as?

Akari: Something I don't know about, something I'm interested in but never tried before! Anything...everything!

Enju: It's impossible to do everything.

Kazuki: Something you never tried before, huh...

Enju: Don't pay attention to her, Kazuki. She's just making this up as she goes along.

Akari: How mean! Hey! Seeing as we just met, Kazuki...When I start something new, we should do it together!

Kazuki: Why not? Sure, I'm on board for that!

Akari had a point...This is the school life Kazuki has been placed in. He wanted to enjoy the youthful life like any young person should.

Akari: Hmm?

Kazuki: I totally agree. Let's do it!

Akari: Right! It's a promise!

Now that Kazuki thought back on it, perhaps he got a little carried away, making a reckless promise like that...But that didn't occur to him until a little while later.

Enju: Hey, Kazuki. I'll show you around the school.

We're on our lunch break...when Enju says this to me all of a sudden.

Kazuki: Is that right? What's the reason?

Enju: That's not a very nice thing to ask.

Kazuki: Well YOU'RE the one who hates me.

Enju: It's not that I hate you...I'm just being duly cautious.

Kazuki: No, you seriously hate me.

Enju: Anyway, you just started here, right? You don't know the layout of the school at all. I thought about inviting John-san as well, but he's not here. Maybe someone else is showing him around.

Kazuki: Yeah, that makes sense. I guess you can be nice sometimes.

Enju: D-Don't get the wrong idea. I'm just doing my duty as class representative.

Kazuki: Aaaand she's back to her old self. Anyways, I'm not getting the wrong idea, it's a simple compliment. Just be honest with yourself and accept it?

Enju: I-I'm always honest with myself...

Kazuki: Uh-huh...

Either way...Makes sense, I guess. There's no reason for me to refuse her offer.

Kazuki: Well? You gonna lead the way or not?

Akari: Guys! I wanna go too!

Enju: You don't need to be shown around, Akari.

Akari: You think? I'm still kinda fuzzy on where all the different classrooms are...

Enju: You've been going here a year, haven't you?

Kazuki: Seriously, it doesn't matter. Come on, lunch break is gonna be over soon.

Together, Kazuki, Enju and Akari were beginning the tour of the whole school. They started with outside first.

Enju: Alright...This is the school yard, and over there is the annex.

Kazuki: Got it.

Enju: You're nodding along, but are you actually listening? Are you going to remember this?

Kazuki: Do you have to question EVERYTHING I do?

Akari: Wow! Look at that! A bunny! There's a bunny! Which means there's a breeding house here!

Kazuki: ...Uhhh, aren't you gonna stop her?

Enju: Yes, right...AKARI! What're you doing going in there?! Get out!

Akari: But...but...I didn't know we had a breeding house here!

Enju: Speaking of which, why is it unlocked?

Yow!

Kazuki: Huh?!

The moment Kazuki turned around, he bump into a small girl. She stumbles, and in that same instant, Kazuki caught hold of her, by the hand.

Kazuki: Sorry about that. You okay?

A...ah...

The girl stutters, reaching for the rabbit on her head. Speaking of which...WHY is there a rabbit on her head?

Thank you.

Kazuki: Huh? Am I going crazy...or did that rabbit just speak...?

O-Oh, no! I-It wasn't the rabbit! I was just doing ventriloquism!

The girl changed her voice, as if she was trying to pull it off.

G-Good afternoon!

Kazuki: Uhhh...

Enju: But your mouth is moving...

Umm...! I-I'm sorry...!

Her face bright red, the girl runs away, carrying the rabbit with her. Despite her looks, she moved with incredible swiftness.

Kazuki: What was that?

Akari: Who knows...Oh, this is the key to the breeding house?

Kazuki: You're right. Did that girl drop it? She did have a rabbit on her head...

Enju: At any rate, we should lock the door. I'll take it to the teachers' room later.

Continuing the tour, the trio made it back into the hallways of the school building.

Akari: Argh! Why did you lock it right in front of my eyes?! I thought you were gonna leave me in there!

Enju: I did think about it...

Kazuki: Not even gonna try and dance around it, huh?

Akari: Hehe! You're SO mean!

Kazuki: You're not going to get mad over that?

Enju: She's not, because I'm ALWAYS looking after her.

Akari: Yup, she sure is!

It's not a relationship Kazuki could really understand, but I guess it's a bond of trust...at least that's what he thought.

Enju: Alright, let's head to the next place. Come on, we need to hurry!

Kazuki: There's no need for the rush...you can stop pulling my arm.

Enju: Oh! Sorry, I got carried away...

Kazuki: W-Wait, don't let go, all of a sudden! My foot...!

Enju took hold of Kazuki's arm and pulled, then suddenly let go, sending him flying. Basically, it was like a hammer throw...But there was no time to be describing it. Someone was coming up. A woman who appeared to be a student. But Kazuki couldn't dodge her. At the rate he was flying in, he was going to land right into her chest! SQUISH! A soft, bouncy feeling...and an indescribable warmth, surrounding his face. When he came to a stop, Kazuki removed himself from the woman's chest and jumped back.

Kazuki: Whoa! I-I'm really sorry. Are you alright?

Well, aren't you spirited? Here...Are you hurt?

With her soft hands gently holding Cypress by his cheeks, he was straightened back on his feet.

Kazuki: No, I'm okay. Thank you though.

I'm honored that I was able to satisfy you.

Kazuki: Huh? N-No, it's not like that!

Seeing that smile on her face...it was like that of a goddess.

Enju: I'm glad you'll have a happy memory to take with you. So...do you have any last words?

Kazuki: This was YOUR fault! If you weren't pulling my arm, I wouldn't have been sent flying!

Will both you SHUT THE HELL UP!

The group could someone shouting, from behind the older student. She turned around and saw someone, standing behind her. It was the same boy who bumped into Cypress, in front of the principals office.

Seriously, I've never heard two people act more like a bunch of spoiled brats!

He didn't say anything else, as he walked on, shoving Cypress and Enju out of the way.

Enju: What's that look for? Tengge, knock it off.

Aww. But I didn't do anything wrong.

Enju: Well, seeing as you've met now, I guess I should introduce you. This is Tengge Yomoda. For what it's worth, she's a third-year student on the student council. So...that makes her your senpai.

Tengge: Hello hello. Just because I'm your senpai doesn't mean you have to be formal around me, okay?

Kazuki: Nice to meet you. My name is Kazuki Amamiya. And I...

Tengge: Ah, I see. You're Ren's little brother, huh? I'll remember it. *Wink* Let's be friends, okay?

Kazuki: Uh...yeah, sure.

She extends her hand for Kazuki to shake. He gladly accepts, as the two smiled at each other. Even Akari was smiling, as well. However, Enju...

Enju: You hentai.

Kazuki: That seems to be your favorite word, doesn't it?

When Tengge was walking off, all that was left were Kazuki, Akari and Enju.

Enju: *Sigh*...Well, this is it. Times almost up. We should go ahead and eat lunch.

Kazuki: Agreed. I'm super starving!

Akari: Kazuki, what are you having for lunch?

Kazuki: Hm? Oh, I didn't bring anything...

Enju: In that case, let's go to the cafeteria. It should be pretty empty by now.

Akari: Good idea, since the co-op shop is probably all sold out.

Enju: You're right. There's almost no time left for lunch break...Shall we hurry?

Kazuki: Yeah, let's do it!

Together, the three made their way to the cafeteria. By the time they realized, there was only about ten minutes of lunch break left...Kazuki wasn't sure if they would make it in time for lunch.

Akari: Our cafeteria's motto is "cheap, fast and average-tasting"!

Kazuki: Is that right? You know, you could at least lie and tell me it tastes good.

Enju: You're always arguing back, aren't you?

Kazuki: Huh, you should talk.

Enju: There's no time, so let's hurry!

Akari: Got it!

Kazuki: Whatever.

The trio hurry along, walking in the opposite direction from everyone else. As Kazuki thought about all that's happened, it wasn't bad at all...A regular school life as a student. He finally started to feel peaceful days of normality. However...he suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness. The boy turned around but there was nobody there. He began to wonder what was going on.

Akari: Kazuki...? Hurry up or we'll leave you behind!

Kazuki: Yeah, yeah. I'm coming.

For an instant, he sensed murderous intent. Or maybe it was just his imagination. There's no way he would sense anything like that in a place such as school.

Enju: What is it? Something bothering you?

Kazuki: No, my mistake. It's probably nothing.

Enju: Really?

Akari: Hey! Come on, let's go!

Kazuki: Yeah, yeah! I heard you the first time!

Before they walked off, Kazuki wanted to look back once more...but instead he shook his head and followed after Akari and Enju. Meanwhile, Tengge made her way outside and noticed that someone was waiting for her. It was a young man, near a vehicle.

Tengge: Ah, mister Akechi! You were waiting for little ol' me? I'm so flattered.

Haha, that does seem to be the case, doesn't it? I was wondering if you were free, right now?

Tengge: Of course. Whatever you need.

Splendid. May we continuing this over sushi, perhaps? You are on your lunch break.

Tengge: Sounds wonderful. Let's be on our way.

Tengge wrapped her arms around Akechi's right arm, as her large breasts were completely squishing him. She noticed him blushing, as he walked towards the vehicle. Tengge stepped inside, with Akechi following behind. At the restaurant, Tengge and Akechi were sitting at a table...but someone was there with him. It was another woman, sitting in front of them.
