First Day in School Castle of Lust?
Iruma open his first diary though he wasn't sure on what to write inside at first, so he started to write on the first two days since coming to Leblance and ending to today, but his writing was interrupted when he heard a phone ringing from downstairs.
"Better go see what's up." Iruma said as he walks downstairs.
Iruma went down to the little phone seeing that it's ringing and picks it up.
"Hello?"
"Hey, it's me." Sojiro's voice said through the phone.
"Boss, this is sudden. Are you opening the café this late now?" Iruma asked in surprise.
"Of course not, I'm not that capable of running the shop throughout the night." Sojiro stated, he doesn't have the energy to even do that if he wanted to.
"Anyway… I closed up shop, but I forgot to flip the sign to "Closed" when I left. It's too much trouble for me to come back just for that. Think you can do it for me?" Sojiro requested a small thing from Iruma.
"That's no problem. But I'm surprise you called me in the public phone than in my cell phone which I'm still new to it." Iruma said.
"It's a personal policy of mine not to save a guy's number in my phone. Either way, I'm glad you actually picked up." Sojiro sighed in relief.
"Sure, I'll get to flipping that sign. Good night." Iruma smiled.
"Good night to you too, kid." Sojiro said before hanging up.
Iruma flip the sign to close and went off back upstairs to his room, change into his pajamas, look over to see his school uniform is fine, then went laying down on his bed.
"(Oh, I should check to see what train to take for Shujin Academy.)" Iruma thought looked at his phone for the train schedule seeing Yongen-Jaya and Aoyama-Itchome.
"(First step is going to Shibuya station to transfer. Shouldn't be too hard.)" Iruma thought hoped.
"(There's some more news about the accident today with the train, I really hope nothing like that happens tomorrow.)" Iruma thought felt a bit scared.
But then he notices something off within his phone.
"Huh, the weird red eye app? But I deleted it, didn't I?" Iruma felt confused, probably something important for a phone to have if it keeps showing up like that.
So, he decided to not mind the weird app and just went to sleep immediately.
(Next Day, 4/11 Morning)
"Today is the day." Iruma said to himself while checking on his new black school uniform of Shujin Academy.
"Got my uniform, my school bag. All good, the only thing I'm missing is money for school lunch." Iruma exclaimed at the last part, hoping he'll think of something on the way.
Iruma went downstairs to see Sojiro behind the counter and a very big plate of his famous curry with a cup of milk.
"Here, I came prepared to make you breakfast for your first day." Sojiro gestured at the plate.
"Thank you very much. Curry and milk are certainly a good combo." Iruma smiled as he sits down and starts eating.
"I also got here a little earlier to pack you this lunch box, hopefully this will be able to help you get through the day." Sojiro pointed at the big lunch box at the door.
"Wow, you really came through for me, Boss!" Iruma smiled, and just finished his first plate.
"Here's a second plating, but you're leaving after this or else you'll end up late on the account of eating out my café again." Sojiro chuckled.
"Got it." Iruma nodded and finished the second plating at blazing speed.
"And don't worry about the sign, I'll flip it for you." Iruma said, knowing what the Boss was gonna ask him to do.
"At least you think ahead of time." Sojiro smiled.
Iruma picked up the big lunchbox and leaves the café, while flipping the sign to open, and ran for the subway to catch the train for Shibuya station, but he soon discovered how crammed the train is just like the rumors he heard about.
"It's like I'm being squeezed by a presser machine to make the meat flat." Iruma exclaimed.
But luckily for Iruma, he didn't have to wait in there any longer as the train stops at Shibuya and look around for a little bit to find the right stop that will take him to Shujin Academy.
"As you can see, everyone. The Shibuya station is still in one piece with the people going around, but the accident from yesterday is still fresh in the mind with how the conductor suddenly went crazy with the speed. Be careful with the train you board on because you'll never know if you'll end up in another accident." A newswoman said.
"Oh great, that almost makes not want to go to school." Iruma worried as he keeps on walking.
Soon, Iruma was able to find the train stop and got inside before it became too crowded for him.
"Phew, that was close." Iruma sighed in relief.
"Well, I'm going to school." Iruma said to himself, feeling a little nervous and yet excited at the same time.
(Leblance)
Sojiro is standing at the counter as always while a man in suit is about to make his order, but he just remember something.
"Oh man… Did it say it was going to rain today?" The man in suit asked worry.
"Huh? It's raining outside?" Sojiro asked in surprise.
"It just started all of a sudden… This is why I hate the early spring." The man in suit expressed that he doesn't like the rain.
"That reminds me, did he take an umbrella?" Sojiro wondered if Iruma checked the weather before going out.
"Um? Who're you talking about?" The man in suit asked Sojiro, hearing him mention someone.
"Don't mind me. So, what'll it be?" Sojiro brushed off the question and ready to take the man's order.
"One house blend, please." The man in suit ordered.
While Sojiro got to work on making the blend, the news on the TV spoke up.
"The effects of yesterday's subway accident continue on today as various lines suffer delays and—"
"There's been a lot of nasty accidents lately. You know, I mean the subway accident that the news is talking about… My coworker got caught up in it and is in the hospital now…" The man in suit mentioned.
"But that aside, it's kinda creepy. The people who caused these accidents supposedly went crazy all of a sudden. I heard that some of them suffered from nervous breakdown during interrogation." The man in suit explained on what he heard.
"Huh…" Sojiro felt concerned with what's going on and hopes that Iruma is doing okay.
(With Iruma)
"This is Aoyama-Itchome. This is Aoyama-Itchome."
Iruma got out of the train seeing that he managed to arrive and now has to hurry up as it took some time getting here.
However, Iruma soon discovered that it's really raining outside, and he almost slip on the ground as he quickly finds cover.
"Guess I should've checked the weather before going to bed." Iruma looked up seeing the rain is not going to light up anytime soon.
"Is there a shortcut I can take?" Iruma wondered as he took out his phone.
Another person comes under the same cover taking the hoodie off showing her face.
This girl has wavy platinum blonde hair that is styled in bushy pigtails with parted side bangs on the right side of her face where she accessorizes with a single yellow hair clip above her left ear as well as small circular earrings on both ears and bright blue eyes. She appears to be wearing the Shujin school uniform though a little different: the standard black blazer over a white varsity-like hooded sweatshirt, worn long to cover most of her short plaid skirt. Her sweatshirt has a red stripe between two blue stripes at the bottom, an S symbol near the front bottom on one side and a green four-leaf-clover symbol on the back of the hood. She wears red tights and brown boots with yellow laces. Breasts size: H-cup.
"(Wow, she looks pretty.)" Iruma thought complimented of this girl.
The pretty girl notices him looking at her and looks back at him.
"(Oh no, she's looking at him. Just stay calm, Iruma.)" Iruma thought flinched.
"H-Hi, I'm Iruma Suzuki." Iruma greeted with revealing his name though a little nervous.
"Hello." The girl greeted back.
Then a white car pulls over to the two and a window rolls down showing Suguru in a blue gym workout outfit.
"Good morning. You want me to give you a ride to school? You're gonna be late." Suguru offered a ride to the girl.
"Um, sure. Thank you." The girl accepted the offer.
"Do you need a lift too?" Suguru asked the blue hair boy, unaware that he's the new transfer student.
"Oh, huh, no thanks. I'll be okay." Iruma turned down, wanting to get to school on his own. But then he notices a slightly sad expression on the girl's face like she doesn't want to be in the same car as him.
Suguru drives off with the girl, and then a blonde guy ran in a hurry like he wanted to catch up with the car, but it was too late as he grunts.
"Damnit… Scrw that pervy teacher." The blonde guy was angered.
Unknown to Iruma, the red eye app on his phone started to do something weird when it heard what the blonde guy just said.
The blonde guy turned around noticing the blue hair kid looking at him.
"What do you want? You plannin' on rattin' me out to Kamoshida?" The blonde guy asked with a scary upset look.
"Wha… Ratting out? I don't even have rats, nor do I know who Kamoshida is!" Iruma said nervously around this guy.
"Huh? In that car just now. It was Kamoshida." The blonde vulgar guy mentioned.
"(That man, his name is Kamoshida.)" Iruma thought realized the man from before.
"He does whatever the Hell he wants. Who does he think he is—the king of a castle? Don't you agree?" The blonde vulgar guy asked.
"I don't really know him, but I didn't know he also lives in a castle." Iruma was surprised, oblivious that there is no castle.
"No, that's just a saying." The blonde vulgar guy said.
"…Wait, you don't know Kamoshida? Are you for real?" The blonde vulgar guy asked, realizing this kid isn't fooling around.
"Nope. Not a clue." Iruma said.
"But you're from Shujin, right?" The blonde vulgar guy asked.
"I just transfer here yesterday, I'm a first-year student. Iruma Suzuki." Iruma revealed.
"Do you go to Shujin too?" Iruma asked.
"What? No other school's got a uniform like this." The blonde vulgar guy stated.
"But you're a first-year, you're just one grade below me and you said you just transferred. I see, that explains why you don't know him." The blonde vulgar guy started to realize that.
"Is he someone important?" Iruma asked curiously.
"Trust me, the best you can do is stay away from him. Got it?" The blonde vulgar guy advised.
"Okay." Iruma nodded, immediately letting the habit take over again.
"(That was quick.)" The blonde vulgar guy thought was surprised that he just agreed to him. He look outside knowing how far the school is from here.
"This rain ain't too bad. We better hurry up, or we'll be late." The blonde vulgar suggested.
Suddenly there is strange wave around the boys causing them to feel pain like they're light-headed for some reason.
"Was that a headache?" Iruma asked, groaning a little.
"Uugh, my head hurts… Damnit… I wanna go home…" The blonde vulgar guy complained.
"Oh yeah, since you gave me your name, might as well give you mine. I'm Ryuji Sakamoto, second-year at Shujin." Ryuji revealed his name.
Ryuji has short spiky blond hair and dark brown eyes. He has a noticeable widow's peak, and his eyebrows are unusual in that he lacks the outer sides. He wears the standard black blazer with red buttons, unbuttoned to reveal a yellow T-shirt with a comic style star symbol and the word "ZOMG!" He has black pants with a red plaid pattern rolled up to reveal his ankles. His pants have black suspenders that hang down instead of being worn on his shoulders, white belt and white sneakers that have a rising sun flag motif.
"Nice meet you, Ryuji-Senpai." Iruma smiled.
"Come, let's get going. I know a good shortcut that'll save us time." Ryuji mentioned as they walk together.
(Back to the Interrogation Present)
"There was a terrible subway accident that day. You remember it, don't you?" Sae asked, Iruma nodded.
"I assume you know of the uproar that the public calls the "psychotic breakdown incidents"." Sae mentioned.
"Not really. I never really listen to the news when I'm forced to do work, even when I was working for you at the time." Iruma shook his head.
"You were always simple minded." Sae knew of that. Remembering how focus Iruma was when just doing the job he was given.
"But even so, it was all over the news, and one of the victims included a teacher at your high school. I've no doubt you heard about it." Sae pointed that out.
"Heard not to when I started to listen what's around me." Iruma said.
"On that day, were you still an "ordinary" student?" Sae asked.
"Huh? Ordinary?" Iruma was confused about that.
"Let me change the question. You transferred to Shujin Academy, correct?" Sae asked.
"Yup, just like I told you." Iruma nodded.
"An ordinary prep school that could be found in any city… That's what it should've been." Sae stated that something different happened on that day.
"What happened around that time? Tell me everything—truthfully." Sae said.
"Okay, well, me and Ryuji were walking together taking a shortcut he knows that could save us time, but when we arrived…" Iruma talked about the past again.
(Back to 4/11)
While Iruma is following Ryuji through the shortcut, the red app started to glow from his phone almost like something strange is happening right now, but they don't even know it yet.
Iruma quickly turns around thought he felt something dangerous behind, but nothing was there.
"That's weird." Iruma said.
"Wha-?!" Ryuji shouted a little, getting Iruma to hurry over to him and saw the same thing he is seeing right now.
Instead of the Shujin Academy Iruma went to yesterday for the transfer, there is a giant castle with a golden gate and strangely even the sky itself is bizarre being purplish pink and all. Even Iruma knows better that this is not a normal thing for a school.
"We didn't… come the wrong way though…" Ryuji looked back at the alleyway they came out from.
"I don't know, the sign says Shujin Academy, but… this is a castle." Iruma pointed out nervously.
"What is going on here?" Iruma asked.
"I don't know, guess we'll just have to go and ask." Ryuji said before walking to the mysterious castle.
"Wait, are you sure that's a good idea! I'm getting a really bad feeling about it!" Iruma worried.
"Not like we can just turn back now. Come on." Ryuji said, and Iruma immediately follows him.
They enter the school, or castle now, and find themselves in what appears to be a lobby though for a second it changes into the regular front of the school.
"Th-That's weird… Where's the school?" Ryuji was confused.
"Are you sure that was shortcut we used to get here because we might've ended up somewhere else." Iruma worried.
"No! It's the same shortcut I always use whenever I'm running late, this has to be the school! I mean, it… should be…" Ryuji felt more confused now, he tried to see if he can call the school with his phone, but it's not working for some reason.
"Out of service? Where'd we end up?" Ryuji asked.
"The sign was for the school, right?" Ryuji asked, wanting to make sure.
"It was clear as day to me." Iruma nodded, but he jumps in surprise when he saw a fully armored man walked up to them with a sword and shield.
"Geez, you freaked me out…" Ryuji felt a little relief there is someone here.
"Who're you? You a student?" Ryuji asked.
"Ryuji, I don't think…" Iruma felt something wrong with this picture.
"Man, your costume's impressive… Is that armor real?" Ryuji asked as he got a closer look at the costume. And the guy in it isn't saying anything.
"Come on, don't just stand there. Say somethin'." Ryuji said, but another armored man comes in now scaring the boys.
"H-Hey, what's going on?" Ryuji asked.
"This is real danger, I know because I had to face a lot of them before coming here." Iruma stated, knowing danger when he sees one.
"For real?" Ryuji gasped, then the two armored men move closer to them. "…Shit, this is real!"
"C-Calm down! Time out, man!" Ryuji tried to talk with them, but these armor dudes aren't in the mood to listen.
"We gotta run!" Ryuji said to Iruma.
"No need to tell me twice!" Iruma said and they run for their life.
But two more knights showed up surrounding the boys.
"Ugh, what's with these guys?!" Ryuji asked panicking, but he got hit in the back hard by one of the knights' shield making him fall in pain.
"Ryuji-Senpai!" Iruma gasped.
"Oww… Y-You're gonna break my bones, damnit!" Ryuji groaned.
"Please, have mercy!" Iruma begged.
"Be silence and follow us if you want to live." The knight demanded which Iruma had no choice but to obey because of his bad habit of being a pushover.
"(Just what is going on here? Why has this school gone crazy so suddenly?)" Iruma thought worried.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Iruma has gone out to his first day of school hoping to get a better start his new life in Shibuya and it looks like he may have gotten himself a first real friend with Ryuji, that is if they survive the crazy castle that suddenly showed up out of nowhere and who's ruling it.
