“Schrrr!”

A sudden jerk woke me up from my nap in a car. The car was anything but ordinary, it was a limousine coloured in full black with silver coatings and a statue of an eagle at the hood of the car.

“We have arrived, Yuusuke-Sama”

The familiar voice of Alfred made jogged my memory. That’s right, I came back to this place, to the place that I once forsaken. I stepped out of the car and I came to a stop in front of a gigantic pearl white mansion. It was quite a spectacle to see as it stood out from its’ surroundings.

I begin to slowly recall my memories here and decided to walk the path I remember, to meet my Father. As I walked inside, I was politely greeted by servants that were busy doing their work. I walked through the hallway and saw new paintings, vases and even carpet and eventually, I reached the study of the man who had wanted to meet me.

“You wanted to see me? Father.”th as

“Yuu…”

“…How have you been…?

“I’m doing fine, I still am going to school and my results are ranked 3rd.”

“I see.”

The short and silent conversation continued between me and my Father as I faced him while his chair was still facing the other direction.

“Yuu…I’ve been thinking…”

“Would you…No. Could you…move back together with us in the main house? We could live as a family again.”

“…”

The sudden invitation would have shocked anyone but I had just stood there and thought. After I considered the possibilities.

“I’m afraid not Father.”

“…”

“It is not because of what has happened in the past, but rather what happened recently.”

“That would be?”

“I decided to start a club in school the other day, and I met this girl who was a transfer student. As we were talking about the club formation, she invoked emotions that I had presumed were lost.”

Hearing my claim, the chair that was still the whole conversation spun around rapidly and the figure that sat there rose.

“You mean…You…You got your feelings back?”

“I don’t know yet. But I am sure I felt an emotion close to what I believed was excited and surprised.”

“That-that’s just great…”

“As I do not know what had triggered this change in me, I definitely wouldn’t want to move from where I stay now.”

“I see.”

I could see a face of relief and happiness that showed on my Father’s face albeit him being silent throughout.

“Have you been keeping contact with your doctor?”

“Not since I last saw him 3 months ago.”

“You should meet and tell him about this, maybe he would know something.”

“I will do so. Is there anything else you need me for?”

“…would you…like to stay for dinner?”

“Alright.”

That night, the dinner that was placed on the table seemed extravagant to me as it has been a long time since I ate food as luxurious as this on a daily basis. Although I was unsure whether this was normal for them now.”

“Woah, Dad. The chefs sure went all out on tonight’s dinner! How about it Yuu.”

“It’s delicious.”

Seeing how silent we were during the meal. Tsubasa who came back from her university broke it by telling me how the food was better than usual and how rare it was to see me in the house. She also told me many stories about herself during university. Including how she was caught skipping her class, by her class’s teacher who was also skipping the class.

After my dinner, I prepared myself to go home and was about to board the car back to my house.

“Yuu, are you sure you don’t want to come back here?”

“I’m sure. Right now, I don’t want to leave that house, but maybe someday, I will be back here with you.”

Alfred began to drive me home after I said my goodbyes to Tsubasa and Father. No, Dad.

“Someday…he really might have gained back more emotions than he thought.”

“Kerp!”

Another day I closed the doors to my house and began to head towards school. I was not going to risk being late again and encountering another situation like the one before.

“Hiyo!”

As I exit my house, I was greeted by Honoka casually.

“What a coincidence huh? Well, let’s go together!”

“Alright.”

“I’m going ahead mom!”

As she said her goodbyes, she ran up to me who walked on ahead of her and we slowly trekked our way to the train station.

“So…what was that car yesterday?”

The car Honoka was referring to was the limousine Alfred drove here. I presumed that the car belonged to Honoka’s family as it was parked in between our houses.

“That…was my dad’s car.”

“Heh… You know, it’s really rare to see a limousine like that in the street. I was wondering what kind of person it belonged too and then I saw you board the car with this huge guy.”

“You saw that?”

“You bet I did! I was shocked when it happened, I thought you were getting kidnapped Ahaha!”

Our casual chatter continued on as we reached the train station. Today didn’t seem to be as crowded as usual and we reached school quite fast.

“Alright then, I have to get to class, my friends are waiting for me there.”

“…no way.”

“What? You shocked that I have friends?”

“I’m shocked you were able to do what I couldn’t do in 3 months in less than a week”

“What is that, you are weird ahaha.”

“See you after school!”

I was actually taken aback that Honoka had already made friends. Something I couldn’t do despite being here a lot longer than her. I guess this just show how easy-going and social Honoka is. Now that I think about it, am I really suited to be her friend? I guess I will find out later.

“Hey!”

I turned around, only to see yet another girl who shouted at me in a loud voice.

“You…What is your relationship with that person?!”

This girl had short bobbed hair that was gleaming purple which complemented her purple eyes. She also wore some fashionable earrings. She flipped her hair and tucked it behind her ears and continued glaring at me.

“That person?”

“Yes, that person!”

She must mean Honoka, but who was she? Could she be one of Honoka’s new found friend? Maybe she didn’t like the fact that Honoka and I came to school together.

Well that would make sense. A popular and beautiful to boot, transfer student. Chatting happily and coming to school together with the school’s lowest and unsocial student, figure her friend would not like it. But to think she would come up and confront me about it.

“You…you sure looked like you were having fun talking the other day…”

She spoke the sentence in a deeper and fiercer voice. Did she see me and Honoka talking about the club the other day?

“Even though when we talked, it didn’t look at fun as yours…”

Fun? I guess from some other perspective, we might seem to be having fun talking about our club seeing how Honoka was laughing a lot.”

“More over…the most unforgivable thing you did…”

Unforgivable? I don’t recall anything I did that was unforgivable.”

“You…YOU MADE HIM SMILE!”

Smile? Well Honoka was mostly laughing at me when I was talk……wait…Him?”

“Even though…Even though he never smiled at anyone else before…”

“w-wait…”

“How could you take his first away?!”

“Stop!

I shouted in an attempt to stop her from her continuous berating.

“Who is this ‘him’ you are speaking of?

“Who? Of course, its Mitsuki-Sensei!”

“Mitsuki-Sensei?”

“Yesterday! I saw you two! You were talking happily in the staff lounge and he smiled at you when you left!”

I recalled yesterdays’ event and thought of how Mitsuki-Sensei smiled at me and sent me off.

“Even though…even though I came earlier than you…”

Even earlier than me? I was pretty sure there was close to no one at school yesterday morning.”

“I was waiting for him to come out of the staff room…and then I could pretend to fall in front of him. Finally, he would carry me to the nurse office and we could have talked!”

“W-what?”

“And you ruined it!”

“Not to mention that transfer student redhead! She was definitely ogling Mitsuki-Sensei yesterday. She has some nerve, to chase after Mitsuki-Sensei right after she transferred. She should get in line!”

“Ogling? Get in line? What are you talking about?

“I’m talking about Mitsuki-Sensei!”

“I know that.”

“Some nerve the group of you have! Trying to steal Mitsuki-Sensei!”

“As if the girls in the school weren’t enough, now we have the school loser who made him smile and another top-class beauty trying to steal him.”

Top class beauty? I guess she really thinks highly of Honoka. Honoka is definitely a top-class beauty but the purple hair girl in front of me sure doesn’t lose out. Especially…my eyes could not help but wonder to the bulge that stuck out from her chest.

“Mitsuki-Sensei is supposed to be mine! I won’t let you guys steal him!”

“Like I was trying to say, I have no idea what you are talking about, we were never trying to steal him!”

“Shut up, shut up, Shut up!”

Another day and yet another weird person showed up in front of me. First it was a delinquent, next it was a transfer beauty followed by the cool and mysterious. And now we have an over passionate maniac! Just what in the world is happening to me and my surroundings…
