I only see just another lemon tree
two weeks later Koletre University – music room G – extracurricular class
Moonlit sonata performed by Halsey was making everyone in class open their jaw as the performance was done by none other than a quiet science prodigy like the rest, why a filler class only meant to score points in their credits was suddenly turning master class level was beyond the boys and girls that applied across the campus,
yeah they are performing to assign them to the right tier but never someone asked to make a concert, the worst case was that she was not letting go of the piano as the teachers wanted to have a good grasp of the limit roof reached in the newcomer,
soon she was moved to another music room and now she was performing Ballade No.1 in G Minor of Rousseau then another room and performed Liebesleid of fritz and then another room she performed Clair de Lune, in the end,
they make her choose a suitable light music room with a band in need of a keyboardist saying something from teacher Dave Grohl
"girl you have the basics mastered but you are performing good only because of the bottled feeling you are dealing with but the things is that those feelings are not to be there forever you need to discover a soul and for that a band is the way to go, yeah you will not be in that 24/7 but will discover to deal with the ins and out and that girl is going to give you the shine in your music"
Halsey did not wanted to speak she was well, steaming out letting go of the frustration, since Viktoriya got herself a boyfriend even if not admitting they are going out she got into a mood of not processing inputs and outputs she was into an automatic mode of sort, staring to the nothing into the abyss that's where entering the club room F came into place dave said "welcome to that band with Ryo, Nijika, hitori and ikuyo"
Academic City, Tomodachi restaurant
Grantz degurechaff and Viktoriya were searching for a good place for the meeting but even if things seemed like a date they were giving a different air than one of those love birds people thought they were, as for why, was simply Viktoriya with her head on the table groaning as the news Grantz has given to the girl making her collateral damage, a damage that she searched for even though he already warned her.
"Why I were not born a few years before?, if only I was not sloppy, if only magic existed here, why?"
"There is nothing we could ever hope to do, it was in the control of Jaggasdril, this leaf is beyond our choices"
The thing was Grantz's last name, it was simple they met before and asked how and when they remembered their life ending to which Grantz responded by saving the mayor from a bullet at an older age. to which Visha responded not understanding what to respond to that,
"well we were in the Norden campaign, the Francois, the russy, the fucking Ildoa, but the end did not match up"
''well, reincarnation and life after the beyond go well out of our area of expertise, in that regard the major is our senior think of it like the DCU we watched as kids''
''I did have a screen in my house but we do not use service TV only physical media and as someone who got nothing more than analog, I am kind of disconnected from pop culture''
''how come, well as expected of an rich lady, suppose you were given access to the system intranet but not to the wide holoweb, seeing as we got here in the same place but in different faculties is to expect it, I am proof of it a musician and composer but not much of a gamer like me fellow mens''
"Well in a way I am glad I could be given a chance to catch up with Catherine but seeing I got the short view of the world was unexpected you need to take me to those arcadias one of these days, I do sports but never played matches of anything and I am seeing I lived in a bubble like a damn Romanoff, and more salt to injury is being to high spec"
''well in that you have my sympathy, is not easy to be labeled a genius getting sponsored and getting to study on this planet in its academic city, also are you sure Catherine is not related to Tanya, she is too smart to be true''
"Well, I got to know her since the beginning as a baby we grew up together, and when studying about space and the news she simply was there absorbing everything like a sponge, in that regard the major was more like us already with an encyclopedic mind of her own, in contrast, this one is absorbing everything with beyond photographic memory, also, why are saying the major is a fellow reincarnated? "
Viktoriya was up with hands below her head but she will soon be in the same groaning position as before
"Well because I think I've met the major as my grandmother when at only four years old"
At the news, Viktoriya was speechless dropping her boba tea from hers and almost making a mess out of the table when re-composing and begin to chock-grave grant from the collar.
"repeat that, and show me proof, and show me everything you think you know"
"Well, it took me a few days to make everything match in my tablet but I recompiled everything and prepared everything to match your outburst as I expected it to be, see"
At which Grantz showed a photo of the Tobias Fleming Shaw & Wallace Fujikawa 2291 meeting the likes not found on the web but more akin to the ones from an album,
"well how we get from expanded universes and now to the space slip motor is beyond me, are you not scheming"
"take a look around all of them and see the familiar face"
At which point in haste Viktoriya searched the photos and got onto the floor without force on hers in a very definition of defeat, there were photos of an event but as more pages were there the pictures was more akin to showing a party in which the photo of Tanya degurechaff showed in a more older version and when the team of Wallace Fujikawa credited people and the name tasha degurechaff tagged in there, it was the same face they worked too hard to find in the news, to her shock she was the person to introduce Wallace and Tobias, making the two teams a dream team to make the slipstream motor, but something was off, the dates do not coincide at all,
"Explain asap, why is she the great grandmother but also not match with the dates is not like there was cryo sleep"
"She was both I think she has been re-doing things as she hoped from one age to another also you need to hear about my meeting with grands to see the big picture,"
He was six when compiling his own & old thoughts but an four when visiting his great parent's house, she met her in a wheelchair happily chatting with the family, and then seeing Grantz, she smiled a blissful grin and joy filled her.
-how my, we have a little musician flying lieutenant here, I suppose his name is Grantz, I suppose we will make the usual (this without being introduced).
To the amazed family seeing great grands so lucid was common. Still, not this way of hers getting up and cooking as master chef style, Oliebollen, Bitterballen, Poffertjes, Kroket, Stroopwafel, they were Belgium, not low landers.
It was a week where they ate Erwtensoep and Appeltaart too much, but why the Dutch cuisine all the sudden was beyond anyone, sure they had a few relatives on her mother's side in the navy, it was a recuring sight but it was not tradition, and he was the new addition old enough to travel but she was no one to pamper needlessly without reason, to the asking she said
"he fought for a free Europe in his last life this much is nothing",
to the recollection of the tight family this revelation was astonishing, but when she rested she simply forgot, and dedicated to chat about other things, making one of her rare slips, two years later great grands died she followed and she left to his grandson all the keyboards, basses, guitars, and music related stuff collected as a colony CMA captain,
at which point he was good to use it and a welcome upgrade from the young Grantz which by the time was leveled a good musician. Now he has a music production level of equipment and access to publishing his innovative use of soundtracks made him a good cover artist, a genius child, and even featured songs in indie projects at which point a few became famous and he got him enrolled in Koletre-Browning university as he skipped a few grades of compulsory education.
And now we have Viktoriya with her head on the table groaning and spitting curses to the old and new gods as reprisal for not letting her meet hers but composed as Grantz showed more ages where aka Tanya's, Anya's, or Tasha's with surnames degurechaff was there coming from the family vault if she never knew about the family tree she was sure she was seeing a vampire.
"we, are not a big family, but our roots started even before the Shaw- Fujikawa engine was made as commercial captains, and now pursuing space there were many of which was almost a tradition to have a certain names in the family tree and coincidentally there was a project manager, RH headmaster, stock runner, shareholder, and my great grand a colonist ship CMA captain, seeing the major speak about human capital and society do you see her as someone that will not pursue those career paths and also the photographs show various same profile coincidentally with the same face and with doing some math never overlapping "
To the proof Viktoriya was speechless, seeing that the family tree was matrilineal was chocking even at this age but seeing how much such a family was crucial in the development of civilization was simply too much like the major,
making her drop tears of joy as seeing that she of all people have made her dream come true time and time again was simply comfortable, but now she was simply empty, her worries and pain were gone, stress was off and now she basked with gentle rays of the sun, yes maybe that's why they pursue, that little spark ignited in their soul, and now she was ready to paint again letting that blockaded flew away.
