Following Kaguya and Chika, he listened carefully to the presentation of the academy from its history to national recognition.
Michael paid due attention and if he had any questions, Kaguya or Chika, they responded satisfying his curiosity.
"Each classroom is neatly clean so that when students restart their classes, they can be comfortable in a good environment," Kaguya said, pointing to the classrooms on their way.
"Also, if there is a problem, they can consult with the teachers for any questions they may have" added Chika.
"I see" Michael agreed with understanding. "I think in other schools, there is something called Student Council, is there also?" He asked.
"Of course, they are in charge of the administration and planning of the curriculum with the help of the teachers. In addition, they cooperate with the students and other institutions when the established events are held" Kaguya replied, puffing out his flat chest.
When Michael watched Kaguya speak excitedly and proudly about the student council he couldn't help but think "Really?" Then he looked at his chest which he puffed out with pride. "I don't understand why you push your chest out if there's nothing to show for it"
* Sigh * Michael sighed inwardly.
"You're thinking something rude about me, right?" Kaguya felt that Michael thought something rude about her and wanted to hit him.
"I don't understand what you're talking about" Michael slyly answered avoiding making contact with her gaze. Trying to change the subject, he kept asking.
"Did you say anything about events? What kind of events?" He asked him confused.
"Have you never held events at your previous school?" Chika asked.
"No, I have never attended a school since I was a child. My family did not allow me to attend or enroll in schools. Since I was little my mother taught me" Michael replied sadly in his words.
Kaguya and Chika heard the sadness in Michael's response.
"Did she teach?" Kaguya muttered under her breath but she didn't know that Michael could hear her murmur.
"My mother passed away when she was 10 years old, after that I locked myself in my room for a year and I myself was studying myself" Michael replied and kept walking avoiding the gazes of Kaguya and Chika.
Kaguya knew that his question was not the best but when he heard Michael's answer, his body trembled in reaction to those words "she passed away". Because of that, Kaguya reminded his mother that she had also passed away when she had not yet entered Shuchi'in.
Ignoring Chika that she was still shocked to learn that Michael's mother had passed away, she hurriedly ran towards Michael and intercepted his path with outstretched arms preventing him from advancing.
"What happened?" Michael asked confused by Kaguya's abrupt action.
"I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" Kaguya mumbled with her head lowered and his body trembled slightly.
"Why-" Before Michael finished speaking, he could see small tears falling from Kaguya's face and hitting the hallway floor.
* Sigh * Michael sighed heavily because he knew there was something wrong with her, he moved closer to Kaguya until he was very close to her.
He reached out her arm and grabbed Kaguya's head pulling him towards her chest as he gently stroked her head.
Kaguya's body trembled strongly when she felt Michael's hand on her head, but he did not displease her, instead, she slowly closed her eyes listening to Michael's words.
"I am not angry or disappointed by the question you asked me, in time one can get over the loss of a loved one but never forget him or her.
Treasure the memories you have of those people who are important to you, over time the wound heals slowly. "Michael spoke slowly with words that came from her heart, continuing to stroke Kaguya's head trying to cheer her up.
"Besides, they or they didn't let you" Michael continued but he felt Kaguya lift her head up, looking at him. In response, Michael also looked at her and continued speaking with a slight smile.
"They are always with you, anywhere, at any time. They always watch you and ensure your safety. They care about your health and think of you as you think of them. Remember, they are in your heart" said Michael with a slight smile on her face.
Kaguya listened to every word Michael said to her, engraving both the words and Michael's smile on her heart. It was at that moment that a small flame was lit in Kaguya's heart.
The minutes passed, it is not known how long, but they continued to observe each other until someone interrupted them.
* Cough * * Cough *
Kaguya woke up from her daze and then looked at the position they were in, she quickly pulled away from Michael with a flushed face and looked at the person who falsely coughed in anger and embarrassment.
At first, Chika hadn't woken up from the words Michael said but when she saw Kaguya run away from her for some reason he hurriedly followed her until she arrived and was frozen by the scene happening in front of her. She saw how Michael gently stroked Kaguya's head and how she was sobbing slightly.
She kept looking until she couldn't take it anymore and coughed loudly to interrupt.
Chika complained internally as she puffed out her cheeks like a little girl throwing tantrums, because she had previously decided that the caresses Michael had given her, she belonged to him. So she felt a bit upset but she didn't yell or disown Kaguya because she also understood Kaguya's reaction.
She knew that Kaguya's mother had passed away while they were still students at another school. Therefore, Chika was not upset.
Michael's face had a strange smile and he looked at Chika and then laughed slightly because he noticed that her cheeks were puffy.
"Hahaha. Don't be like that, come let me cheer you up" Michael said approaching Chika and stroking her head.
"Hehehe ~" Chika smiled.
Michael stopped stroking Chika and shifted his gaze from her to Kaguya. He walked over to her, reached into her pocket, and took out a coin. He closed his hand and made a fist with the coin inside it.
"Blow" Michael stretched his fist towards Kaguya.
Kaguya didn't know what Michael wanted to do, but she nodded and blew on her fist and then was shocked by what just happened.
In front of her, in Michael's hand, there should have been a coin but it wasn't, and instead there was a pink handkerchief.
Michael did a simple magic that you can find in any video on the internet or in books. And where do I get the handkerchief? He had bought it from the system as it was only worth one point.
"Here, wipe away those tears that ruin your beautiful face. You should smile a little more since you are too pretty to have a cold expression" said Michael and handed the handkerchief to Kaguya.
"K- K- Kawaii?" Kaguya stuttered and her face couldn't help but turn very red. Not only because of her shame but inside her, Michael's words made her a little happy and she did not understand the reason for this strange feeling.
"Nee ~ Michael-san, am I cute too?" Chika asked with a bit of jealousy in her voice like not wanting to lose to Kaguya.
Michael felt that Chika was very cute due to her personality and answered honestly.
"Of course, Chika is also very cute" Michael said like a brother congratulating his little sister for being very cute.
"Let's continue with our tour, we lost a lot of time here" Kaguya said walking towards another direction avoiding Michael and Chika from approaching.
" Where we go?" Michael asked confused by Kaguya's change in mood.
"Kaguya paused for a moment and thought where they can go because they had already seen most of the classrooms. Then she remembered why she came, looked at Michael and spoke with a smile.
"We're going to the archery club, Michael-san, do you want to have a little challenge between us?" Kaguya asked and pretended to disdain Michael.
