Today’s the first day of my life as a High school student, in my reincarnated self after the tragic happening. And now, the worst thing comes to worst; meeting another heroine who is supposedly the main character of this story.

I got petrified that time our eyes meet. Yukiyama Kagome, the one who walks beside Kei right now, locks her eyes on me. What the…?

I feel the chill crawling to my spine. What should I do now? Should I say something? I don’t know if she will let me, though. A few seconds passed, she starts walking again.

I just remain standing, waiting for any words she’ll going to say, but we just passed each other. Kagome didn’t look back at me, as I turn to look at her. Together with the students passing along the morning road, my feelings slowly diminished the overwhelming feelings as well.

“I can’t keep this up. This is a girl’s love story; I must find a way to make them end up together.”

Yeah, that’s right. This is their story. And involving with them may change the trajectory of the plot. I must never, ever interrupt with their way again. Because the only thing I want is to see their feelings innocently bloom, like a bud of lily flowers in the wild.

I should just be a guy who just watches them from afar. And set their ship to sail. After all, I am just an intruder.

***

Or so I thought?

Since today’s an orientation and assigning designated class, the school ended up at noon. I never expect to go at school in the morning and ends up at noon. Remembering this feels like I’m a middle school in my previous world.

I got assigned in Year 1 class 2. New classmates, new faces… new people around who I never know at all. They’re all strange. Since this is a novel world, what I expect only is the imagination of the reader.

In this setting, a reader can build a setup with a classroom filled with varieties of students. However, the main focus would be main stars the author chose, and the side characters and some random names that will pop up if the author feels adding to.

And me as a reader, this is the image I’ve seen many time before. I’ve read several novels. Each one’s story differs from how the author illustrates the settings and environment of the story.

Now, back to my day today. Since today’s a half day at school. I decided to leave the classroom. I haven’t gain friends since I’m new here…. LITERALLY. I don’t know if I can make a friend or two. But I’m not hoping.

Let’s just get through this day and have a rest. Now that I’ve understand everything in this world, all I need right now is to make everything fall into the right place.

As an avid reader of Girl’s romance, interrupting the love between two girls is a taboo. So I must think of a way for Kei and Kagome to be together. But how would I do it?

I know Kei now, but how should I approach Kagome?

If she heard what Kei said awhile ago… I want to clear those thoughts to her. This isn’t something I want. I want them to be together, and everyone will be happy.

Arriving in the shoerack, I get off the floor shoes I used to the school and reach for my loafers. “Hey.”

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

An unfamiliar voice called to me all of a sudden. I lift my head upward and sees Kagome standing right in front of me.

Right. The girl standing in front of me right now is no other than the main heroine of this story, and the protagonist, Kagome Yukiyama. Upfront, I see her slit shaped eyes pointing directly, like a dagger straight to me.

Her arms crossed within her chest, and she seemed not happy to see me.

I just recalled everything happened awhile ago, and it taunts me up. What should I say to her? “You’re free right now?”

Huh? What’s with her? “Uhm…”

“Let’s go.”

Without giving the time to speak, Kagome asked me out. What’s this all about? Everyone from the school lobby pierced their eyes on me, especially the girls.

Oh, I feel dreadful right now. If she really happens to heard what Kei have said to me awhile ago, I might be dead again.

But no. I don’t intend to make things go complicated right now. I am someone who wants to root for the love of another person. I want to see their innocent, forbidden love to grow.

And I’ll make it happen—

“What’s your relationship with miss Sakagami?”

As soon as we exit the school gates, Kagome suddenly spoke to me. The tone of her voice is sharp. “Huh…” I utter. The spring wind gently caress my hair, I gulped before answering.

She turns to face me, holding the sling strap of her bag. “I saw you two awhile ago… chatting like you two know each other.”

My hitch was right. She knows about Kei’s confession to me.

“I…” I stated and trailed the next words to say.

“You happen not to have a special relationship with her, yes?”

Kagome’s firing words ricochet directly at me. I feel agitated right now. But I know there’s nothing to be guilt out since I am not a threat. “I don’t know what’s your relationship with her, but…”

Her eyes avert off from me.

“Perhaps, you should—”

“Hey, Kira!”

Both of us twitched out as a voice popped out of nowhere. Turning sideways, we saw Kei smiling as she waves giddily. “Hey Kira!” with pitter patter steps, Kei goes to me with a wide smile on her lips.

“Uh, senior Sakagami—”

“Kei. Call me Kei like I told you.” she pouted at me. I don’t want to act like familiar to her so I’m still sticking on calling her surname. And then, this girl beside me is one who wants to be closer to her.

“Ah, Kagome!” Kei called out. I looked at her, seemed amused from the turn of events right now. She knows this girl? “Hello, miss Sakagami.”

Kagome bashfully greets Kei, as she moves a step backwards. “You two know each other?” Now this turns the way I never expect now. Kei’s brows fuzzed, while looking both at us.

“I… I happen just to get the handkerchief she dropped so….” I made an alibi. I don’t want her to suspect us. After all, my goal now here is to make these two become a couple.

“Yeah, he’s right. I dropped my handkerchief so…” Kagome smiles wryly, getting along with the lie I told. That’s good.

Kei nods as she was to believe what we have told now. And today, my plan should be on course. “And so, I must bid good bye now, senior Kei and senior Kagome (?)”

I don’t want to act like I know both of them so I decided to call Kagome by her first name. Indicating that I know her family name will raise a suspicion. To make this plan a success, I must leave them. For that, Kagome won’t be go harsh towards me.

Or so that’s how the plan?

“Wait.” before I step away from them, Kei suddenly grabbed the hem of my blazer.

I turn sideways to glance at her. “I still haven’t thanked you well from what you did.”

“Huh?”

Wait…. was she trying to compensate from what I did this morning? And Kagome’s eyes glancing sharply towards me. This isn’t good.

“Uhm, senior…” I called. “I told you there’s no need for it. I did it because I don’t want someone gets harmed. So…”

“Even so. I want to repay your kindness.” Kei insisted. This is bothersome. I want these two to spend their time together. If I’m there, there will be no progress.

“Please?” Kei pleaded. Her eyes sparkle like she’ll gonna cry anytime right now if I refuse. And that makes her look cute. Wait! For the sake of this story, I shouldn’t do this.

“C’mon, Kira. Pretty please?”

Kei’s pleading hooks my feelings now. Ugh, I want to refuse no matter what. “Accept her invitation, Kira.”

Kagome interjects. She show exasperation from what’s happening, and I’m fully aware that I am the reason behind it. “She won’t stop pestering you if you keep refusing her.”

“Aw! Not you too, Kagome!” Kei snarls. “Then you two will go with me!”

What the….?! “Wait, senior—”

“No ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’”

Ah, come on! How did I dragged to this mess now?! And with Kagome? I feel dreadful right now, really.
