After that three-on-one duel, I was at a cafe with the three kids, whose names were Ayu, Futoshi, and Tatsuya. All three were on their way to their Duel School. Duel schools are schools that are like normal schools, but teaches Duel Monsters. Hearing that, I officially love this world. Anyway, on their way there, those three guys, who were LDS students, supposedly the best Duel School in the world, were trying to take them hostage in exchange for their friend, Yuya's, Pendulum cards. Hearing that made me so mad; if there was one thing that makes me want to break some bones, it would be people taking children as hostage for their own benefits.

"A bunch of jerks if you ask me, those LDS students," I stated, after they finished their story.

"After hearing it was the best Duel School, we all dreamed of attending some time, but because of what they and Sawatari did, we all changed our minds and decided to stay in You Show Duel School," Ayu said.

"Yeah. They were a bunch of jerks," Futoshi said.

"We were only lucky that Yuya-niichan saved us that time. And not only that, you helped us, too," Tatsuya said.

"It was nothing," I waved off.

"Your order," came a guy's voice. We looked up and saw a waiter by our table with our order. "Some sweets for the kids. And spaghetti and water for the caretaker." He handed out our order.

"Thank you for the food!" the kids exclaimed.

"Thank you for the food," I followed.

Before anything is said, I'm not making the kids pay for me. Here in the alternate universe, the money is Duel Points, or DP for short. Duel Points are gained by winning duels. Thanks to my win against those LDS guys, I earned a bunch of DPs.

"You really didn't need to treat us though," Tatsuya said.

"Don't worry about it," I assured. "After this, I'm walking you guys to this Duel School. I want to see for myself what it looks like."

"Okay!"

"Ayu! Futoshi! Tatsuya!" called a voice. We all looked at the direction of the voice and saw a boy with red and green hair, kind of in a tomato style, with goggles on his head and a girl with pink hair in pigtails.

"Yuya-niichan! Yuzu-neechan!" the three kids called. The two teenagers turned and saw the three kids with me and ran towards our table.

"There you guys are! We were looking all over for you!" the boy, Yuya, said.

"Sorry, Yuya-niichan," Futoshi apologized.

"It's not their fault," I spoke. "They kind of met up with trouble on the way to your school."

"Is that true?" the girl, Yuzu, asked Ayu.

"Yeah. But we're fine, thanks to Qing-neechan!" I choked on my meal when I heard what she called me.

"N-Neechan?"

"Oh! Sorry. Did you not want to be called that?" I felt a bit bad questioning about it.

"No, it's not like that. It just... surprised me."

"Then is it okay to call you that, Qing-neechan?" Futoshi asked.

"I-I... I... Guess so..."

"So you're name's Qing? Nice to meet you. My name's Yuya," Yuya introduced.

"And I'm Yuzu," Yuzu also introduced.

"Nice to meet you two," I greeted.

"Yuya-niichan! Yuzu-neechan! You're never going to believe this!" Tatsuya began. "Qing-neechan never attended a Duel School, yet she can do Synchro Summon!"

"What?!" the two teenagers gasped.

'Looks like Special Summons from the Extra Deck and Ritual is uncommon here,' I thought.

"Is that true?!" Yuzu asked.

"Yeah. Never attended a single Duel School," I confirmed.

"No way..."

"Then, can you join our school?!" Yuya asked.

"I have to see what the school is like first."

"Sure! We can go now!"

"After we finish eating," I spoke in a scolding tone.

"Fine..."


After lunch, we all walked to You Show Duel School. On the way there, the group were telling me everything about their school. Summing it up, it's a school for upcoming Entertainment Duelists, duelists who likes both their opponent and the audience to have fun as they duel. Yuya's dad was an Entertainment Duelist, and an amazing one, from what the kids said. Being an Entertainment Duelist sounds interesting, so I was considering maybe I should join their school.

Imagine my shock as we arrived what their school looks like. Rather than a school, it looked like a fun house for kids. Then again, entertainment is to have fun.

As we walked to the front door, Yuya suddenly got out a long stick and tapped along the concrete and, distancing himself away from the door, tapped it with the stick.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Making sure there's no trap," he replied.

"Traps? In a school for Entertainment Duelists?"

"Looks safe." He puts the stick back where he found it.

"Just watch," Yuzu whispered in my ear.

I indeed watch as Yuya opened to door, only to get pie on his head, covered in whip cream and whatever was inside of it.

"Bella! This is your doing again, isn't it?!" he shouted.

Following his demand was a laugh. "I have no idea what you're talking about, Yuya-chan~" I took a peek inside and saw a masked duelist in brown overalls with a white shirt under it and a sash over the overalls. The duelist also had a blue cape, blue hat with some fluffs on the back, and brown boots.

"Don't play stupid with me! Who else would pull a trap like this?!"

"I wouldn't call it a trap; after all, I am a prankster~"

"I'll show you a prankster!" Just when Yuya stepped forward, he seemed to have set off another trap, for a huge pile of candy fell on top of him. And do I mean HUGE!

The masked duelist let out a chuckle as she slowly walked away to a different room. Yuya, enraged, managed to push the candies off of him with brute force, starting the chase between them.

"Get back here!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Nothing!"

"Then why are you chasing me?"

"Come over here and find out!"

While those two were doing their little chase, Yuzu took out a couple of bags.

"Someone has to clean up their mess," she muttered.

"Need any help?" I offered.

"Sure." With that, Yuzu, the kids and I began to clean up the mess Yuya made, while said duelist was chasing the masked duelist.

"Who was that?"

"Bella-neechan," Ayu answered.

"She's Yuya's adopted sister," Futoshi explained.

"That would explain why I see a sibling bond between them," I said.

"Though of what I heard, Bella just likes to pull pranks on Yuya-niichan," Tatsuya said.

"So is that all the students in this school or is there more?"

"There's one more, and my dad who's the principal here," the pinkette replied. "Speaking of, where is he? He should be here."

"Oh! Yuzu! You found them?!" came a man's voice. We turned and saw a man in red and orange jumpsuit with a dark blue shirt with a fire design under it. The man was looking at Ayu, Futoshi and Tatsuya. "Where were you three? We were worried about you guys."

"We got into a bit of trouble," Futoshi explained.

"Some LDS jerks tried to take us hostage for Yuya-niichan's cards," Ayu said.

"What?! And what about Yuya?!" the man asked.

"Don't worry. Qing-neechan saved us before they got us," Tatsuya told him.

"Qing?" He then noticed me. "Oh hi. So you saved my students? Thanks so much."

"It was nothing," I replied.

"You wouldn't believe it, Principal! Qing-neechan isn't in any Duel School, but she knows how to Synchro Summon!" Ayu told him.

"WHAT?!" the principal shouted. He then made his way towards me and grabbed me by the shoulders. "You! Are you interested in joining a Duel School?!"

"Huh?! I... Uh..." I was so shock at the sudden change, how can I answer?

It was at that point Yuzu saved me... by whacking her father with a paper fan. "You do not recruit new students like that!" she scolded.

"Where... did she get that paper fan?" I asked the kids.

"Don't know," they replied.

'... Anime logic,' I thought.

"So then... Where is Yuya? And Bella and Sora?" the principal asked, rubbing the spot Yuzu hit him.

"Yuya is chasing Bella for pulling another trick, as usual," she answered.

"That's a daily thing?" I asked.

"Yeah. Don't ask. Bella thought it was funny to prank Yuya. And personally, I agree with her."

"Coming through!" came Bella's voice. We turned to the source just in time something to bump into me, forcing me out of the school, skidding across the concrete.

"Ow... What hit me?" I wondered out loud. I felt something heavy on me and looked down to see the masked duelist on me.

"Ow... Sorry..." she apologized. We made eye contact with each other and, for some reason, I had a strange feeling about her. I wondered what it was, until Yuya called.

"Bella...! Come... back here...!" Correction, he panted, quite heavily.

"You just can't beat her in speed," Tatsuya stated, as the tomato-head duelist tumbled over on his front.

Bella got off me and helped me up. "Well, I think I had enough excitement for one day. As soon as I'm done helping you guys clean up, I'm finding a place to stay."

"Huh? Qing-neechan, you're not from here?" Futoshi asked. It was then I realized I forgot to tell them where I'm really from.

'Can't tell them I'm from a different world. It'll be too difficult for them to understand. That or they won't believe me,' I thought.

"I came from a different country," I said without thinking.

"Where?" Yuya asked.

Considering how much alike this world is from mine, it wouldn't hurt to tell them what country I was from. "America."

"That far?! Where's your parents?!" Yuzu asked.

'Damn it, I didn't think that far,' I mentally cursed.

"Well, my parents are extremely busy people, so we move around a lot..."

"Didn't you say you're from America?" Ayu asked.

"Yeah. We moved around a lot in America, then something came up with their job that made us move to another country now. I got tired of all the moving, so I practically begged my parents to let me stay in one spot instead of staying with them."

"Is that so?" the principal asked.

"Yeah. After moving around so much and constantly transferring to different schools, I decided that enough was enough. My parents understood, thankfully, and let me stay here."

"Why in Miami City?" Bella asked.

"... Truthfully, I just chose a random place to stay." So far so good to me.

"I see. How about you stay with me and my dad?" Yuzu offered.

"Huh? Are you sure?" I asked.

"Yeah, if my dad's okay with it that is."

"Of course I am! It'll be like having another daughter!" the principal cried, choking me with his hug.

"I can feel your love, but I wish to be let down!" I shouted.

After that little decision, we continued the clean up when I realized something. "Yuzu, didn't you say there was another student here?"

"Yeah. Shiunin Sora. It's kind of unusual for him to not be here. Then again, who knows where he is?"

"I do," Bella spoke. We all turned to the masked duelist. "He came earlier before you guys came then left to find Ayu and the rest."

"Did he say where he'll be searching?"

"No. But I'm sure he'll be back soon."

We finished cleaning up all the candies and whatever of the pie that was dropped when Yuya was chasing his sister.

"Hey! I'm back!" came a boy's voice. I looked up from my seat on the couch to see a boy younger than me, Yuya and Yuzu but older than the kids right at the front, licking a lollipop. The boy noticed me. "Who's this?"

"Our new student, Qing!" the principal, whose name was Shuzo, happily replied.

"Hey, I don't remember saying that I'll join," I argued.

"Wait, you won't!" he asked.

"That depends, if any one of you here can beat me."

"In that case, I'll duel you!" Yuya insisted.

I looked into his eyes to see them filled with determination. "... Very well."


We were in the school's duel field, equipped with our iPads, or D-Pads. Everyone, excluding Shuzo, was by the window, watching our up-coming duel. Since all kind of summons from the Extra Deck and Ritual Summon seemed extremely rare, I decided to just stick with one deck and one type of summon.

"Any Field request?" came Shuzo's voice.

"Anything is fine with me," I said.

"Same here," Yuya followed.

"In that case... Action Field on! Field Magic, Fire King Island!" Much to my surprise, the whole field became an island with a volcano at the center. I tried to contain my shock and excitement, but how can I when this is my first Action Duel?!

"No way! Is this... for real?!" I wondered out loud.

"Huh? Are you saying... this is your first Action Duel?!" Yuya asked.

'Me and my big mouth!' I inwardly cursed.

"Y-Yeah... I never stayed long in any school I was in, okay?!" I shouted, not wanting to be questioned.

"O-Okay... Then, do you want to know the oath?"

"There's an oath?"

"Yeah! It goes like this:

Duelists locked in battle! Kicking the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters! They storm through this field! Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling! ACTION-"

I didn't need to be told that this is the part where we say it. "DUEL!"

Yuya: 4000 LP
Qing: 4000 LP

The moment the duel started, I could've sworn I saw cards spreading around the island. "I'll let you go first, Yuya. You are a member of this school after all. Show me what you got as an Entertainment Duelist!" I exclaimed.

"Sure! From my hand, I summon Entermate Amenboat!" A water bug with a boat on its back appeared on a lake near us.

Entermate Amenboat: Level 4/WATER/Insect/500 ATK/1600 DEF

Yuya jumped on its back as it... swam off. "I set two cards face-down and end my turn!"

"My turn. Draw!" Not wanting to lose sight of Yuya, I ran after him. It was weird actually; I don't recall the field being so big, yet the hologram of this island said otherwise. "I set a monster and two cards face-down! I end my turn!" A face-down monster appeared, floating beside me, along with two other face-downs which soon disappeared.

"My turn! I release Amenboat to Advance Summon Entermate Hammer Mammo!" Yuya's monster jumped off the surface of the water. Yuya jumped off it, as it changed into a big blue elephant with a hammer as its trunk.

Entermate Hammer Mammo: Level 6/EARTH/Beast/2600 ATK/1800 DEF

"Battle! Hammer Mammo! Attack Qing's face-down monster! And Hammer Mammo's monster effect activates! When this card attacks, I return all Magic and Trap Card my opponent controls back to their hand!" The elephant's hammer lit up like a lamp as it forced all my face-downs back to my hand, except my monster.

My monster was flipped face-up, revealing it to be two beans and a pod, with another bean in it. The attack struck, but my monster wasn't destroyed, much to Yuya's shock.

Naturu Beans: Level 2/EARTH/Plant/100 ATK/1200 DEF

"What happened?!"

"Naturu Beans' monster effect. Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by battle," I explained.

"So then, it doesn't matter how strong Yuya-niichan's monster is, it can't be destroyed?" Futoshi asked.

"That's right."

"In that case... I end my turn," Yuya ended.

"My turn. Draw!" I drew my next card. "I summon Naturu Mosquito in Attack Mode!" A mosquito the size of my torso appeared by my side.

Naturu Mosquito: Level 1/EARTH/Insect/200 ATK/300 DEF

"I switch Beans to Attack Mode!"

"Huh? Why?" I heard Ayu asked.

"Battle! Beans attack Hammer Mammo!"

"WHAT?!" the bystanders, including the principal, gasped. One of my bean monsters charged in for an attack.

"But wait, your monster has only 100 ATK!" Yuya pointed out.

"However it won't be destroyed by battle," I added.

"I know, but you'll take damage!"

"I wonder about that." Naturu Mosquito then latched itself on Yuya's monster, taking some of its blood. "Naturu Mosquito's monster effect! While this card is on the field, all Battle Damage I would've taken from battle involving other 'Naturu' monsters I control goes to my opponent instead!"

"What did you say?!" Yuya gasped, as his elephant shrunk from loss of energy. My mosquito went to Naturu Beans, giving it the energy taken from the elephant.

Yuya: 1500 LP
Qing: 4000 LP

"No way! She reversed the Battle Damage to Yuya!" Bella spoke in shock.

"I never thought that was possible!" Yuzu said.

Both monsters returned to their normal size. "Choose your next move carefully, Yuya. I set one card face-down and end my turn!"

"In that case, I draw!" Yuya drew his next card. "Ladies and gentlemen~! It is now time for that thing~!"

"That thing?" I wondered, while everyone else seemed excited for what will come next.

"Oh! It's coming! It's coming!" Ayu cheered.

"It's finally time for that!" Tatsuya followed.

"Pendulum! Pendulum!" Sora began to chant.

"I will, using Scale 1 Stargazer Magician and Scale 8 Timegazer Magician, set the Pendulum Scale!" Yuya set two monster cards on the egde of his Duel Disk. Doing so, two Spellcaster-type monsters appeared by his side. "With this, I can simultaniously summon monsters from level 2-7! Sway, Pendulum of the Soul! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my monsters!" At that point, two more monsters were summoned onto his field. One was a purple snake with a top hat. The other was a red dragon with different colored eyes. "Entermate Whip Viper! And Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"

Entermate Whip Viper: Level 4/EARTH/Reptile/1700 ATK/900 DEF

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: Level 7/DARK/Dragon/Scale 4/2500 ATK/2000 DEF

"There's something you don't see everyday," I admitted, for there weren't any Pendulum Monsters back in my world.

"If I recall, you said Naturu Mosquito's effect activates with other 'Naturu' monsters battle. Which means, if I attack it, all Battle Damage goes to you!"

"Yeah! Go, Yuya!" Futoshi shouted.

"Battle! Entermate Whip Viper! Attack Naturu Mosquito!" His snake monster slithered its way towards my insect. I smirked at his attempt to attack it. Yuya seemed to have noticed it, as Beans moved in front of Mosquito. Yuya quickly dashed to a tree and grabbed something from it. "Action Magic, Miracle! I'll use it on your monster to prevent its destruction and halve the Battle Damage!" Mosquito took some of Whip Viper's energy and sent it to Beans.

Yuya: 700 LP
Qing: 4000 LP

"What just happened back there?" he then asked me.

"Mosquito's other monster effect. While I control a 'Naturu' monster, this card cannot be targeted for attacks," I explained.

"What?!"

"So, unless if he can get rid of Naturu Beans, Naturu Mosquito can't be targeted?!" Ayu asked.

"Looks like it," Tatsuya confirmed.

"And that's not all. Once per turn, Naturu Beans cannot be destroyed by battle. If Yuya does attack, not only does Naturu Beans stay on the field still, he'll lose," Sora added.

"And that's not the best part," I added to that. "When targeted for an attack, Naturu Beans inflicts 500 points of damage to my opponent! Bean Bomber!" Before Yuya could react, he got hit by one of the bean monsters.

Yuya: 200 LP
Qing: 4000 LP

"Yuya(-niichan)!" the bystanders called.

"You know Yuya, when I looked into your eyes, I saw an incredible amount of determination in you. I'm starting to doubt that determination I thought I saw."

Yuya just stood there, gritting his teeth. For some reason, he seemed to be looking around the area. He suddenly made a mad dash to somewhere, following his eyes, I noticed he was going for a card on a tree just in between us. After witnessing what one of those cards can do, I wasn't going to let him have his advantage. With my monsters by my side, I also rushed to the card. Unexpectedly, Yuya's Whip Viper wrapped itself around his arm, letting the duelist toss him like a grappling hook and swung himself towards the card, getting it in his hand.

"Action Magic, Grand Down!" he shouted. "This card negates all my opponent's monster effects until the end of this turn!" My monsters all seemed weaker and could only lie down.

"Oh no!" I gasped.

"Go, Odd-Eyes, Hammer Mammo! Attack her monsters!" Both of Yuya's monsters made their way to both of mine.

"Trap Card open! Half Unbreak! One monster I control cannot be destroyed by battle this turn and any Battle Damage I take from battles involving it are halved! I'll use this on Naturu Beans!" A bubble appeared and protected my Plant-Type from destruction, as well as lessening the damage.

Yuya: 200 LP
Qing: 400 LP

"I end my turn."

"Oh man..." Futoshi sighed.

"He was so close," Ayu stated.

"But at least he needs one more attack!" Tatsuya pointed out.

"If he can get pass Beans, that is," Sora added.

"He should!"

"I don't know. You guys said she can Synchro Summon after all," Yuzu recalled.

"Yuzu's right. What if there won't be a next turn?" Bella agreed.

As much as I wanted to tell them that we could hear everything they're saying, I was in a middle of a duel. And for no reason do I let my guard down in duels and let my opponent beat me. "My turn. Draw!" I drew my next card. I smiled just by the sight of it. "Well Yuya, can't say this wasn't a fun duel, but I believe it's time to end this." Yuya tensed, preparing himself for what I have in store. "From my hand I summon Naturu Pumpkin!" My pumpkin monster appeared on the field.

Naturu Pumpkin: Level 4/EARTH/Plant/1400 ATK/800 DEF

"I activate her monster effect! When she's Normal Summoned, if my opponent has a monster on their field, I Special Summon 1 'Naturia' monster from my hand. I Special Summon Naturu Cliff!" My Rock-Type monster appeared on the field.

Naturu Cliff: Level 4/EARTH/Rock/1500 ATK/1000 DEF

"Next I activate Magic Card, One for One! I discard a monster card from my hand to Special Summon a Level 1 monster from my deck. I discard Naturu Ladybug to Special Summon the Tuner Monster, Naturu Cherry from my deck!" My two-cherries monster appeared with the rest of my monsters.

Naturu Cherry: Level 1/EARTH/Plant/Tuner/200 ATK/200 DEF

"I now tune my Level 4 Naturu Cliff with my Level 1 Naturu Cherry! Become the great roaring nature! One that prevents disadvantages! Synchro Summon! Appear, Level 5, Naturu Beast!" My green feline-like monster appeared onto my field from the two monsters.

Naturu Beast: Level 5/EARTH/Beast/2200 ATK/1700 DEF

"You can really Synchro Summon?!" Yuya gasped in shock.

'You doubted that?' I mentally questioned, not bothering to voice it out.

"Naturu Cliff's monster effect activates! When he leaves the field, I Special Summon a Level 4 or lower 'Naturu' monster from my deck. And from my Graveyard, Naturu Ladybug's monster effect activates. When I Synchro Summon a 'Naturu' Synchro Monster, I can Special Summon him from my Graveyard. So come, Naturu Ladybug and, from my deck, my Tuner Monster, Naturu Triumph!" Both a ladybug the size of my hand and a tulip monster appeared on my field, covering up all my Monster Zone.

Naturu Ladybug: Level 1/EARTH/Insect/100 ATK/100 DEF

Naturu Triumph: Level 2/EARTH/Plant/Tuner/600 ATK/1500 DEF

"I once again tune! My Level 4 Naturu Pumpkin with my Level 2 Naturu Triumph! Become the great roaring nature! One that repels all traps! Synchro Summon! Appear, Level 6, Naturu Parkion!" My own dragon appeared from my two monsters.

Naturu Parkion: Level 6/EARTH/Dragon/2500 ATK/1800 DEF

It was then the weirdest thing happened. My dragon made eye contact with Yuya's and both kept roaring at each other. It didn't take long for me to figure out what Parkion wanted.

"I understand, Parkion," I whispered to it. "But first... Naturu Ladybug's monster effect! During my Main Phase, I release her and grant 1 face-up 'Naturu' monster I control an extra 1000 ATK!"

"What did you say?!" my opponent gasped in shock.

"Refreshing Lady!" My ladybug flew around Parkion, sprinkling some kind of dust and pollen all over it, giving it the extra boost.

Naturu Parkion: 2500 + 1000 = 3500 ATK

"Sorry Yuya. But I'm not one to lose. Naturu Parkion! Attack Yuya's Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! Bark Burst!" Parkion let out its dragon breath at Odd-Eyes.

"Trap Card open! Entertainment Flash!" Yuya tried to counter.

"Rejected! Parkion's monster effect! When a Trap Card is activated, I remove two cards from my Graveyard to negate and destroy that card! Bark Blast!" Parkion ceased its move and let out an ear-piercing roar at my opponent's card.

"No way! It's like Timegazer Magician's Pendulum effect." Yuya then saw a card on a tree near him and jumped to get it. "If trap cards won't work, then Action Magic, Avoid!"

"Rejected! Naturu Beast's monster effect! When a Magic Card is activated, I send the top two cards of my deck to my Graveyard to negate and destroy that card! Beast Rage!" Beast charged at Odd-Eyes and pinned the dragon down.

"No way!"

My monster took its chance to let out its dragon breath at its target, destroying it and ending the duel.

Yuya: 000 LP
Qing: 400 LP

WINNER: QING!

As soon as the duel ended, the hologram all faded away, returning the Duel Field back to how it originally was. Surprisingly enough, Yuya and I were still where we were before the duel started.

"I lost..." I heard him mutter. I walked up to him and held out my hand.

"That was an awesome duel, Yuya," I stated.

He accepted my hand. "Yeah. I guess I still have a long way to go, even with my Pendulum Summon."

"Yeah. But I still enjoyed it."

We released each other's hand and walked out the stadium to the hall, where everyone was waiting. As soon as we made eye contact with them, they all looked at me with a sadden look on their faces.

"So does this mean you're not going to attend?" Ayu asked.

"Actually, I decided to stay," I corrected, surprising everyone.

"But why?" Bella asked. "Wasn't the deal if we beat you you'll attend?"

"True, but it's been a while, since I dueled someone with so much determination like Yuya. Besides I enjoyed that duel. And if you didn't notice his Odd-Eyes and my Parkion roaring at each other, then what were you guys seeing?"

"Now that you mentioned it, why did they do that?" Futoshi asked, hoping we knew the answer.

"If I were to guess, I'd say our dragons saw each other as worthy rivals," I answered.

"You think so?" Sora asked.

"Maybe it's because they're the only dragon in each other's decks," Tatsuya guessed.

Not wanting to think about it any longer, I decided to change the subject. "Okay, enough with the talk about the duel. Where do I sign up?"

"Follow me," Yuzu led, probably because she's daughter of the principal here.


We were in the control room where the president should be in, only to see him face-down on the controls.

"Um... Dad?" Yuzu dared to call. Shuzo picked up his head and... Let's say he didn't take the results as well as everyone else did.

"Blat?" he asked, still crying.

"Uh... Where do you keep the applications for this school?" I asked.

It took him seconds to take in my question. Out of relization and... happiness(?), he jumped out of his seat and grabbed me by the shoulders.

"YOU'RE ATTENDING?!" he asked, his boogers getting too close for comfort!

It was then Yuzu decided to save me again, by whacking her father with her paper fan. "Calm down!"

"Where did you get that paper fan?" I dared to ask her.

"Don't let it bother you."
