PoV of Chitaru ❤️❤️❤️

A beam of light shone brightly on my face through the blinds of the window. I reluctantly open my eyes to the ray. Oh, I almost forgot...

Today I start Kurogumi...and...

I groggily sit up and rub the sleep out of my eyes. Looking to my right I see Hitsugi still sleeping soundly. I smiled at the sight and remove the sheets from myself to wake her up. As silently as I could I tiptoed over to her bed and tapped her shoulder as gentle as possible

"Kirigaya..." I whispered. She still slept.

"Kirigaya." I called out a little louder. Finally she started to groan and peek out through her eyelids.

"Huh? Chitaru-san..?" She said in a sleepy voice.

"It's morning already. We have to get ready for class."

She looked at the clock on the nightstand.

"Ah, you're right! Sorry, I think I almost forgot!" She immediately springs up, banging my forehead with hers.

"Ow! Ah, Chitaru-san! Oh no, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean-"

"No, don't worry about it."

Hitsugi reaches out and rubs the spot on my forehead where our heads connected. I was surprised by the sudden contact.

"I'm really sorry, Chitaru-san..." She says with concerned frown.

"It was nothing, really. C'mon. Let's get ready." I smile, taking her hand in mine so she wouldn't worry about it anywore. Reluctantly she put her hand down. I went over to the couch and grabbed my clothes. Hitsugi took the hair ties that she placed on the nightstand to put up her hair in pigtails.

Finally we got prepared, brought our bookbags, along with Hitsugi's bear and approached the door.

"All set?" I asked.

"Yeah, all set!" Hitsugi replied with a cute, bright smile while holding her bear.

I go ahead and push the door open for Hitsugi and she walks out with a smile on her face. I walk out after her and shut the door behind us. Together we walk down the hall just barely few feet until Hitsugi reaches up and puts her hand into mine. I smile back to let her know that I was okay with it. Something inside told me I was a lot more than okay with it. Only a few seconds later a sound of a door creaking open comes from behind us. Out comes Haru and Tokaku together, with Tokaku having a bored drawl on her face and Haru a lively, happy smile on hers.

"Good morning, Chitaru-san! Hitsugi-chan!" Haru says to us with an upbeat attitude.

"Good morning, Haru-chan!" Hitsugi replies in the same manner. Haru jogs up to us with a smile.

"Is it okay if we walk to class together with you two?" She asks.

"Of course. Well, as long as Azuma-san is alright with it." I said.

Haru turns around to Tokaku who was walking just a foot behind her.

"Hey, hey, Tokaku-san! Let's walk with Chitaru-san and Hitsugi-chan to class!" She grabs Tokaku's arm and smiles at her. Haru seemed suspicious. Usually an assassin wouldn't get along that well with another. So either she was good at acting, or...

Ichinose Haru is the target.

"Whatever. Do what you like, I won't stop you." Tokaku lazily responds, weakly trying to pull away from Haru.

"Yay!" Haru cheers.

We start to walk together to the class building. Along the way, Haru starts to ask simple things like "How old are you?", or "What do you like to eat?". As we cross the bridge, Tokaku scolds Haru for asking so many questions.

"Ichinose!" She scolded.

"Don't ask so many questions. You're going to annoy them."

Haru looks at Tokaku with shock and then turns around back to us.

"A-ah, sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"No, no, you didn't annoy us at all. Don't fret over it." I say.

Azuma-san seems a little uptight, it seems.

We arrive at Kurogumi. Tokaku swings open the door to the classroom. Haru walks in after her, and Hitsugi and I after them. Inside, there was a window on the left wall, and a desk and chalkboard in the front. At the desk was a middle aged simple looking man with black hair and tie and a white shirt.

"Yes, new transfers! Thank you for coming! The name's Mizorogi Ataru. Call me Mizorogi-sensei! And, yours are...?" He asks.

"I'm Kirigaya Hitsugi. Nice to meet you, Mizorogi-sensei." Hitsugi says with a small polite bow.

My turn.

"I am Namatame Chitaru, the ninth. It's a pleasure." I extend a hand to shake his. He complies easily, and gives a healthy handshake.

"Great! I'll introduce y'all to the class when everyone gets here." He gives me a thumbs up.

Weird.

Hitsugi takes a glance around the classroom to take it all in.

"Looks like we're the only ones here, other than Tokaku and Haru-chan." Hitsugi says.

She lets go of my hand and sits in the very front seat, placing her bear to hang off the chair.

"Are you sure about sitting there?" I ask politely.

"Yeah. This way no one too tall will be in front of me." She jokingly gives me a weird suspicious look and I laugh nervously.

I am pretty tall, in the end.

I take the seat to the right of her and set my bag down. We wait patiently as the rest of the class seems to file in.

"Good morning, everybody!" Mizorogi says enthusiastically.

"It seems like our numbers have increased today! Everyone, please get along, alright? Number 4, Kirigaya Hitsugi-Kun. Number 9 Namatame Chitaru-Kun!"

"I'm very short, so I'm glad I get to sit in the front." Hitsugi says.

"Yeah, that's true" I chuckle back.

"Number 6, Sagae Haruki-Kun! I'll also be introducing 4 more people!" Mizorogi says happily. He seemed very excited about this. Four students shuffled in quickly from outside into the classroom. I notice that Haru looked at them so excitedly.

Very strange. It's highly likely that she's the target.

"Number 5, Kenmochi Shiena. Nice to meet you all!" The first one that walked in says.

"Seat number 8, Takechi Otoya! Let's have fun!" Says the girl next to her.

"I'm Shuto Suzu. I'm number 7 and I guess you could say my hobby is exercising."

The last one to introduce herself was...

"Kaminaga Kouko, seat number 3. I'll be the leader starting today so please treat me well."

"Hee, leader of what?" Otoya giggles.

"When I say leader, I mean leader of everything." Kouko retorts. Suzu looks at Kouko in some sort of admiration.

"Anyways, I'll start as the leader of the committee for this class! Those with complaints, just say so, I challenge you!" She delcares.

"None." Tokaku stands up abruptly from her desk, slightly scraping the chair on the floor. "If you say so, then can you be dorm leader as well?" She holds up the roll call folder with a bored look on her face. Kouko walks towards Tokaku and takes the folder from her hand.

"Hey, are you okay with that? Asking Kaminaga to do this." One student asks.

"Yeah, we're good." Kouko replies.

"Kouko, you're so cool, Suzu sit in front of you!" Suzu says with an estatic expression.

A lot of commotion happens until the teacher finally succeeds in making everyone settle down. "Come on, class is starting!" He shouts. Soon everyone calms down and listens.

"Alright everyone, we're starting the lesson now." Mizorogi picks up a piece of chalk and starts writing down on the blackboard.

During the middle of class we're assigned to watch a video on dice. None of which I paid attention to. It didn't seem anyone else was interested either. Isuke was nonchalantly sleeping sleeping on her desk and Nio was playing some game loudly. I look over to Hitsugi and she seemed quite interested about the video. Cutely so. As I concentrated on her more, she notices that I was staring. She turns toward me and gives a polite wave. Slightly embarrassed for staring I turn my face back to the tablet. Hitsugi chuckles and turns her attention back to the video.

"How rude of me." I thought.

The bell finally rings.

"Alright everyone! That's it for class today! Thank you for attending and see you tomorrow!"

Mizorogoi gives an honest smile and walks out with his folders and papers.

Class has now ended. Everyone is mingling with each other and Mizorogi is out of the room. I shove my book back into my bag and stretch my arms out.

"I haven't had a class like that in a while!" I say.

"Yeah, me either." Hitsugi replies. We share a look, and seem to know what's on the others mind.

When you're an assassin...school isn't exactly an option for your life.

I get up and walk over to the barred window. Right now, it's possible that I'm extremely near Angel Trumpet.

But who?

I don't want to make any rash decisions and scare them off if I try to accuse someone without knowing all the details.

"Ah, Tokaku-San! Where are you going?" I hear from behind me.

"The washroom." The familiar drawl responds.

"Haru is coming too!"

"Don't follow me!"

"It's fine, isn't it? Haru wants to go to! We're going to the washroom together!"

"Why are you so excited!?"

I couldn't help but let out a laugh from their conversation. Haru seemed to be quite attached to the Azuma student.

"With Haru-chan gone, a message for the crew." Nio speaks up. Everyone directs their attention to her, including me.

"Tonight, in room 1908 of the main building, there will be a secret orientation. Those who want to know about the target, come. That's what I'm saying but... Everyone already has the idea, right?" Nio starts to smile a toothy grin.

Right... The only one that seems plausable as the target is...

"That's right. The target is..." Nio grins even wider.

"...Ichinose Haru-chan."

"I'll let Tokaku-san in on the details later." She adds.

"This is a message from Hashiri Nio. That is all."

I begin to walk over to Hitsugi's desk.

"Hey, just a minute, who are you exactly?" Isuke asks. I kind of wanted to know that too, but I paid no mind to it. I'm not after Haru anyways. Should I even go to the orientation?

I guess I'd better, to not raise suspicion.

I approach Hitsugi. She seemed uncomfortable.

"Kirigaya, are you okay?" I ask.

"Y-yeah. Midnight...I wonder if I'll be able to stay awake till then." She responds.

It's nearly sundown by the time we reach our dormatories. The blood orange light that penetrated the windows shone brightly. When that sun sets, the assassination process of Ichinose Haru will start. A twang of guilt seemed to poke at my heart. An innocent girl like her should not be a target for an assassination. It went against my values.

The sooner I find Angel Trumpet, the better.
