We are Ichika
A heavy sigh escapes my lips as I lean down on the desk. 'It's only a recess and I'm already pooped.' Sitting up, I glance back to see everyone in their own groups, as I'm left alone as the only student at the front of the class. 'If this is what I'm gonna be suffering though for the next four years. I don't wanna be here… Someone save me!' I put my head down in my arms on my desk. When someone walks up to my desk, I look up to see who it is.
Ichika:(looking up) Houki?
Houki:(crossing arms) Get up, I need to talk to you.
Ichika:(standing up) Sure, what's up?
Houki:(walking off) Just come with me. Hurry up.
I followed Houki out of the classroom. "Hey, hold on!" I said following Houki, as we passed through the halls and to the stairs leading up to the higher floors. Heading up 3 flights of stairs, we reach the top. Houki quickly opens the door to the roof as I follow her out. The wind blows in my face as I also enter the roof. Walking over to the railing I look out over the ocean surrounding the academy. 'Oh man… I was way too occupied to see the beauty of the area…' Staring out over the ocean, Houki steps over next to me but remains silent as she pushes her hair behind her left ear.
Ichika:(looks at Houki) … It's uh… Been a while Houki.(Houki glances at Ichika) I recognized you right away.(smiles) Your hairstyle is the same as when you left.
Houki:(Hand on hair) I… I can't believe you still remember…(smiles) I'm… glad you remembered.
Ichika:(smiles) Of course I'd remember. You always looked great like this.
Houki blinks then turns away form me. A warm red blush appears on the cheek. 'Same as always… Like the past 6 years never happened… I just wish everything else was like that.' Looking back out over the ocean, my mind wanders back to Kasumi. The image of her in my arms is still fresh in my mind. Houki notices my look and turns back to face me.
Houki:(rubbing arm) Hey… I heard about Kasumi… I'm… I'm sorry. I wish I could have been there…
Ichika:(shakes head) No it's fine. There was nothing you could have done… She… she died with a smile…(looks at ground) I can at least say that without a doubt in my mind.
Houki:(looks out over ocean) I… See…
Reaching into my pocket I pull out the Dragon bottle that Sento made for me. "What's that?" Houki asks, looking at the bottle, I quickly pocket the bottle. "Nothing, a memento is all." I said looking away. The air goes quiet with only the soft wind and splashing of waves. '... God this is awkward… ' I glance at Houki and remember something.
Ichika:(smiles) Oh yeah, I heard you were 1st place in the National Kendo Tournament, congrats!
Houki:(blushes) Wha- H-How do you know that?
Ichika:(crosses arms) Kasumi and I watched the broadcast, duh. Why are you overreacting?
Houki:(turns away) N-NO reason! Don't worry about it!
I step back holding up my hands. "Alright, I get it. Calm down." I said turning back towards the sea. 'Man, she's gotten really touchy.' Glancing at Houki, I see her back and forth. 'Though I get the feeling that she's always been like this.' Shaking away the thought, I turn back to Houki.
Ichika:(smiles) Enough about me. How's your mom and dad?
Houki:(looks at Ichika) … Fine. They told me to say hi to you when I see you again. They said "Congrats on Getting out of jail and becoming the first Male Pilot."
Ichika:(rubs cheek) I see… Ah, I also met your sister. Have you seen her at all?
Houki:(gets serious) That woman… Has no involvement with me…
Ichika:(tilts head) What? D-Did something happen between you and Ta-
When the bell rings, Houki immediately walks away. "Recess is over, we are going back." Houki said, opening the door, I reached out only for Houki to close the door behind her, leaving me alone on the roof. "... Sigh~ What happened to them?..." Reaching into my pocket I pull out the dragon bottle from my pocket and look at it. "Watch over her too, Kasumi." I mutter, putting away the bottle I head back inside for the next class period. As I reach for the door I stop as I'm reminded of something I need to do.
Ichika:(clenches fist) … I almost forgot…(looks out over ocean) I'd bet you'd like that… Nabeshima. But I'm coming for you…(opens door) They'd better be done by now, it's been a week.
Flashback, one week ago… IS Cafe Lab…
The smart board lights up as Sento puts up a timeline graph that shows the history of the past year in chronological order. "All right, listen up." Sento said, stepping up next to the graph as I sat on the ground with my legs crossed. "One year ago you were framed for a murder." Sento said, showing the article showing my arrest.
Sento:(points to graph) Using Banjou's girlfriend, Kasumi. Nabeshima leads you to the murder scene of scientist Katsuragi Takumi. You were framed then tossed in prison for a year. Within the prison the one who knocked you out and brought you to the Human Smash experimental labs, was also Nabeshima.(crosses arms) It stands to reason that he is the key to this case.
Ichika:(nods) Oh! I get it now!
Chloe:(sighs) Finally, but…(takes out tablet) unfortunately, Nabeshima's Personal records are all nonsensical.
Sawa:(runs over) EH?!(takes tablet from Chloe) You're kidding me!?
Chloe:(steps over to seat) It's true. When I tried to verify his address and phone number, they all belonged to other people.
Sawa:(falls to knees) No way… Even though I went through a ton of trouble to obtain the information too…
Sento steps over to Sawa to kneel down to her. Sento pats Sawa on the head. "If you pay me…" Chloe said, crossing her arms. "I can get you the information." Chloe said, I chuckled and stood up. "What could a shut-in like you do?" I ask, when Tabane, who's been sitting in the corner of the room, slides out of her chair and jumps out of her chair. "OBJECTION!" Tabane shouts. Sento stands up, snaps his fingers and points at Tabane. "Hai, Master?" Sento asks.
Tabane:(steps over to Chloe) You shouldn't underestimate Chloe-chan's ability. To, Collect, In-for-mation.(glances at Chloe) Ready?
Chloe:(nods) I am.
Tabane and Chloe rush to the center of the room, where a change tarp materializes covering Chloe. Clothes are tossed over the tarp as I watch on in anticipation, when a pair of hands cover my eyes. "H-hey! I can see!" I shout, a few moments later the person covering my eyes let's go and steps back, as the tarp drops the lights are now dimmed as Sento wheels in a camera to face Chloe now changed into new clothes. Tabane turns on a 'ON AIR' light up, as lights shine on Chloe, now dressed in idol clothes.
Chloe:(smiles) All Riight! It's Mii, everyone's favorite idol!
Ichika:(blinking) What… What is happening?
Tabane:(leans over) Live Streaming. Chloe-chan is a very popular internet idol. She's so cute, I didn't even need to make her a V-Tuber.
Sawa:(takes out camera) I've heard of this! An idol who people cannot meet! The requesting idol, Mii-tan~!(taking pictures) What a scoop!
Sento:(crossing arms) It's one of the resources we use for data gathering. Pretty convenient no?
Tabane:(nods) Her countless fans from all over Japan, help us gather information. Just like,(snaps) that.
Ichika:(looks at Chloe) Seriously? I thought this sort of stuff was only to bloat someone's ego.
Sento:(sweatdrop) Don't let a few bad streamers poison the whole.
Chloe:(gesturing) Ta-da!(image of Nabeshima appears) It would be great if you could gather information on this person with all your might for me!
Tabane gets behind the computer and types away. Sento tosses Chloe something as she ducks under the camera, puts eye dropper into her eyes, then stands up close to the camera. Chloe puts her hands together in a prayer position. "Pretty please." Chloe asks. Not even a second later, a flood of bells rang from the computer. "No way." I mutter as I step over to look at all of the money and information. 'Holy crap… There's… So much…' My jaw is agape as I watch the chat box fill up.
Chloe:(steps back from camera) Wow~! There's so much!(hands in heart pattern) Thank You-ku!
The chat stops in a heartbeat. "A-Are they alright?" I ask, looking at Sento, he shrugs. "Maybe a few heart attacks, but mostly fine." Sento answers in a completely nonchalant way. "Why did you say that like it's a completely normal thing?" I ask Sento, he simply shugs again at me.
Back to the present… IS Academy…
The final bell rings as I stand up and quickly leave the room. I head straight for the counselor's office. After walking a few minutes I arrive at Sento- 'I guess it's Kiryu-sensei's office.' Reaching for the doorknob, I turn it and open the door to a man I don't recognise standing over a desk. "Ah… Is this Kiryu Sento's office?" I ask looking around.
Man:(turns to Ichika) Ah… I'm afraid Kiryu-sensei just left not too long ago.
Ichika:(steps back) Oh, I see. I uh… Wanted to ask him something is all… Who are you?
Ichijo:(smiles) Oh, I'm Yujo Ichijo. I'm an Art Teacher here at the academy.(Ichika opens his mouth) I already know who you are, Banjou-kun. All of the teachers were talking about you.
Ichika:(steps back) Oh… I see…
Ichijo:(waves hand) Ah! Nothing bad of course! Just surprised.(puts hand on chest) Myself, personally I always thought a young man like yourself would never do such a thing. Especially since you're Banjou-Sensei's brother. I always thought it was weird… Ah, sorry, listen to me babble on. Kiryu-sensei left saying he had something to do back home.
Ichika:(looks at Ichijo) Ah, thanks. Then I'll talk to him tomorrow. Thank you for letting me know, Yujo-Sensei.
Ichijo:(smiles and waves) Of course.
We are observers…
Ichika closes the door behind him and walks away. Ichijo's face turns from smiling to serious in seconds. "And like that." Ichijo mutters, as he turns to face the window. "Two birds enter the same cage." Ichijo finishes, he looks over the papers on Sento's desk as he turns around and exits the room, his face returning to a welcoming smile.
Later… IS Cafe… We are Sento…
Sitting at my desk, as the Bottle Fabricator works away in the background. I type away, working on Student schedules and other matters. Just then, a familiar figure walks down the steps. "Where's Nabeshima?!" Ichiak asks me, running up to my desk. "Nice day to you too." I greet Ichika, he's clearly frustrated.
Ichika:(looks at Sento) Where is he?
Sento:(sighs) Calm down, we're still sifting through the data. Remember, we're talking about a man who's going out of his way to hide from the Government. We're not going to find him in an instant, even with Mii-tan's data gathering abilities.
Ichika:(steps back) Fine. I'll find him myself.
Sento:(stands up) Oh, no you don't.(points at Ichika) If you go out there demanding to find someone, people are going to mistake that as you attempting to kill someone, or worse. You'll be thrown back in prison and then, the gas masked men will have free reign with you again.
Ichika:(clenches fist) … Grr…
Sento:(sighs) Look, I get it. It's been a week and you don't like being considered a criminal. But don't start running around. You'll only prove the courts right. Be patient, we'll catch him.
Ichika:(looks down at ground) Fine… But-(*Ding!*) Wha~!?... Again?
My hair pirks up, as I run over to the Bottle Fabricator. "The spoils of war! Come to me!" I shout opening the door to an orange bottle with a hawk molded into the body of the bottle. "So it's Hawk this time?" I observe, as I pet the Fabricator. "This is really the best!" I exclaim. "Ugh…" I look back at Ichika as I see him roll his eyes. Then the door to the fabricator opens as Chloe steps out.
Chloe:(tired) Tired… Sleepy…(walks over to bed) If you wake me up.(scary glare) I'll slice you in two!
Chloe then puts on an eye mask and hops into bed. "If only your fans can see you like this." Ichika mutters. I take the newly made bottle over to a panel on the wall. Taking out the Sojiki bottle I set the two into the panel, only for nothing to happen. "Tch. No best match huh?" I mutter crossing my arms.
Ichika:(steps over) Hey, I've been thinking about this for a while now,(points to panel) but what is this thing?
Tabane:(steps over) That their Ichika-chan, is a Best Match.(Ichika tilts head) I'll say it again… That's a Best Match.
Ichika:(sweatdrop) Sorry, but saying it twice does not clear up any of the vagueness. Nor does it answer my question.
