"You girls spot anything out of place at the academy today?" I exited the bathroom, with a pyjamas on, rubbing my wet hair with a towel. "Nah, I have nothing." Yui let out a sigh. "Everything seems so normal to me, at least for the cafeteria." "The medic too." Hizuki tag along. "Seems pretty normal to me."
"How about you two?" I stare at Kasumi and Mei as I asked. If anyone had any idea about the dirt beneath this academy, it is them. "I had very hazy memories regarding this, all I know there is another side of it" Kasumi spoke slowly, trying to piece up those blurry images in her mind. "Me too, I was sent into this place twenty years ago from my parents." Mei agreed. "All I know that there is a secret passage somewhere…" Recalling the bad past, she seems a bit traumatized, so do Kasumi. "It's alright, don't force yourself." I patted her by the back to calm her down. "Why don't you start your investigation from the school's employee?" Yui suggested. "They sure know more things than us, right?"
"The school's employee…" I entered the school office as I recall Yui's words, some teachers are already inside there, preparing for their day of teaching. I place my items in my cuboid as I take a look around. Most of the teachers are like working dead, even if they ask, they would be too pussy to tell me anything. And if my identity is exploit, man there is going to be a lot of problem. This is a nice school to be honest, clean, new, futuristic with basic services, I still didn't wanted to slice it in half, yet.
While I am still thinking up a plan, I felt a soft pat at my shoulder. I turn my head around and saw a girl behind me, she is not wearing a student uniform, so I guess she is a teacher too? "What do you want?" I asked her, she waved her hand, pointing at her throat. "What?" I stare at her, didn't quite get her explanation. "…." She searched for the duffle bag she is carrying before taking out a marker and a notebook. She opened the notebook and began using the marker to scribble onto it, after a moment, she gave me the notebook.
"I am your co-worker"
She flips to the second page.
"I will take you for a tour around the school today."
So, she is the guide that I was being informed about who will take me for a walk around the academy. I am just a newbie right now, so today I guess I didn't need to do any real job right now. Besides, I also need to get knew of the academy's terrain, so win-win, I guess.
"What is your name?" I asked at this girl in front of me, flamingo pink hair, violet purple eyes with a seductively cheek that is asking me to pinch it. Gotta, say she seems like a perfectly normal girl, a bit shorter than Kasumi, just a hint how tiny packaged this girl was. "…." She snatch the notebook away from my hand before scribbling four words and show it to me: "HANA"
"Alright Hana, let's get a walk, alright?" I stood up and patted her on the back as the two of us exited the office. "Lol, look at Hana, happy she got a friend." Upon seeing the two getting out of the office, one of the teachers laughed out. "Hope she didn't think more about trying to revolt again" Another one of them sneered at her. "If losing her voice isn't enough, then I had no idea what would." The rest of the teacher let out a cold chuckle.
"This is the library" She showed me a page of her notebook as we stood in front of a book shaped structure. "This is the medic" She showed me a white structure in front of us. "This is the student's and teacher's dorm." The two of us stood at the final stop of the tour. "You look tired, are you alright?" I asked her, grabbing her arm when she is about to head to another location. It is still in the middle of winter, although it is not snowing, but it is still very cold. She seems quite exhausted and pale after all of these walking.
"…." She took out her notebook and began to start writing. I grabbed her hand and uses sign language to communicate with her. "Let's take a break, alright?" "You know sign language?" She communicated back; she seems very excited. I nodded, as an admiral, sign language is a must to learn, communication is key to relation, right? "Let's take a rest at the cafeteria, alright?" I took off her winter cap and messed with her hair, she smiled nodding.
" Who is that girl." I may or may not bring her to the wrong place, because the moment I headed to the counter and ask for food, Yui approached me and pointed a butter knife at me. "She, she is one of my employee." I explained calmly at a knife on my throat. "Put the knife down, please?" I asked. "Best don't get too into her." She grumbled, placing our orders onto a tray and hand it to me "you had three of us already, don't ever dare think about having a fourth one."
"Alright, alright, you are the best alright?" I lean towards her and kissed her cheek before turning back and headed towards Hana who is waiting for me, but then I found out someone had taken a seat beside her. "Hey Miss Hana~" The boy put her hand onto her shoulder as he greeted, Hana seems really uncomfortable trying to struggle out of his arms. "I would like you to sing again Hana." He said sarcastically, touching her cheeks. Hana pushed him away, but this action angered the boy. "You pushed me!?" He shouted, the guard standing in front of the restaurant's entrance is blind actually, because he didn't take any fucking action. He just stood there, yes just standing there.
"You think you still are a teacher? You think I am your student?" He grabbed her coat collar and rip her dress, showing a red spider lily mark in between her throat and chest. She covered the ripped clothing with her arm, shaking her head. "Without your voice, you are nothing." He raised his hand as it solidifies into rocks before slapping towards her.
