...
"Arh, why are you acting so annoying?!", man with ashen slick back hair groaned as he glanced at his back toward the girl who resembled him.
She rolled her eyes annoyed by his attitude, "Says the one that screamed like a child when they woke up next to a girl."
"Shut up.", he sighed heavily as he reached his hand against the steel door, he then faced behind him with a glare, "I'm going to smoke, stay inside."
The girl's mouth twitched at the boy's rude words, "Hoi, what do you think I'm here for?? Where do you even get that cigarette from?!"
She snatched the cigarette off of his hand, "Hey!"
She placed the cigarette on her lips, "Mine now, blehh!", he rolled his eyes after watching her stuck out her tongue.
He opened the steel door to reveal the outside view from the top of the school building, this was his favourite spot to vent or relax by himself or with his members, "Fine! I won't let you have another if that's gone...", his mouth stopped moving as he caught his eyes with the person he truly despised.
"Rirota!!"
The girl jolted from behind him as she leaned over to watch who it was, her eyes went wide open when she saw a man instead of a certain someone with a familiar name, "... I'm in your world?", she muttered under her breath, balancing the cigarette with her lips.
Rirota turned around to watch the man with ashen hair glaring at him with murderous intent, "Oh, that's really cool."
His eyes stuck on the girl rather on the ashen haired man, "Two Virgils, am I right?"
The person in front of Rirota gave a start, he never expected him to mention the person following behind him was also him, but as a girl!
The female Virgil took off her cigarette in annoyance, "Hoi, I'm his sister, alright?! As if I would have the same name as--"
*clunk*
The sound of the steel door being unlocked from behind them caused the two Virgils to become alert. The male Virgil yelled at his back toward Rirota, "You bastard, you called reinforce... huh?"
His eyes widened as he faced the steel door, he was stunned by the beauty of the girl closing the door behind her. Her long hair being blown by the wind made her feel mysteriously beautiful.
"Krr!", he was pulled back from his admiration as he heard a hiss coming out from his female self. She shouted angrily while pointing her index finger at Riro, "Rirota, why and how are you here?!"
"Why don't you look at my alter ego over there?", she only nodded her head to point toward Rirota's position.
The two Virgils were being sandwiched by the two Rirotas, the male Virgil glared at Rirota as he spoke, "Hoi, care to explain how there's two of us?!"
Rirota picked his ear, before telling him to drop his guard down, "How about you drop it? We're not here to fight and I'm too damn tired to lift a finger right now."
He glared at the male Virgil with a deadly pressure, "Let's have a nice chat before class fucking starts in 10 minutes, okay?"
He said calmly however both of the Virgils gulped down their saliva as they felt immense pressure leaking out of the male Rirota.
Riro shook her head as she withstood that man's pressure, "Sheesh, feels like he's at war already."
Virgils bit his lips to clear his mind from the overwhelming pressure of his, "Arh, sure! I want to smoke badly right now so hurry up!", he took out a box of cigarettes before taking out a cigarette from the box.
Rirota sighed as he glanced toward Riro, "First of all, a reintroduction is needed."
Rirota took a deep breath before sitting down with his legs crossed, Riro followed behind but sat down elegantly not wanting to accidentally show her panties toward the male Virgil.
The two Virgil sat down next as they waited for Rirota's words.
"Rirota.", he named himself in front of them as soon as the two Virgils sat down on the floor. Riro continued the flow by saying hers, although temporary name, "Riro."
"Virgil.", the male Virgil instantly locked his name, not letting the girl beside him take it.
"...Vee."
Virgil felt goosebumps from her word, it was his nickname that he used in many online games he used to play before Rirota came to his life.
"Vee and Virgil?"
Vee nodded her head, so did Virgil. Riro nodded after confirming which is which to refer to, "Now, Rirota, your turn."
Rirota felt like Riro was dropping off her share of the burden suddenly on him, he had a slight frowned expression before asking the two Virgils a question, "Have you two figured out why only us four are exact copies with basically different outcomes in our past?"
Vee glanced at Virgil, she vividly remember him cursing out Rirota for ruining his day by beating up his members for disturbing a weak student. At the same time, Virgil also remember how Vee mocked herself for being second and essentially blamed Rirota in a ranking board for the test a couple of months ago.
The two of them nodded unconsciously.
"Yes."
"Yes."
The two of them replied to him at the same time, although reluctantly from Virgil. Riro sighed inwardly as she saw the two's confused expression.
"But why, ah? Vee, you say that you hated Rirota... no, Riro for being first in a test."
Vee replied to him with his own story, "And you were angry because that man Rirota beat you and your gang up."
Rirota cleared his throat, successfully ceasing their little argument, "A'ight, we got 3 minutes. I'll be brief, let's team up."
"HAAARHH?", of course, Virgil was stupefied by that man's unbelievable request. He glared toward Rirota's alter ego displaying his angered face, "You think that I would...---", he felt a pressure coming from someone else than Rirota. It was a familiar pressure as he managed to pinpoint who it was immediately, Riro.
"Chill, we don't know anything about this merged world."
Rirota nodded as he glanced for Vee, "Vee, do you disagree?"
Vee was more understanding of the main issue, so she shook her head firmly, "Virgil, let's team up with these scums for now."
She continued, giving him information she knows herself, "While I don't know how I or you enter this odd world, it goes to show that we're in the same world with both of our worlds merged into one. And, I can't believe that I'm saying this but... we can't rely on any of our friends on this."
Virgil sighed heavily as he stood up from the floor. He bit his bottom lip to calm his nerves, "Fine. But there should be some ground rules, such as conditions both parties should have."
He pointed his finger directly at Rirota, "Are you sure that we're the only ones in our school with exact copies of our genderbent selves? How about that womaniser friend of yours, Roukan?"
Rirota shook his head, "He hasn't been to school today, so I don't fucking know. But, sure... what's your condition?"
"Wait, let's make it even for all four of us. Two conditions to benefit us all.", Riro added, stopping Virgil and Rirota from stating their own conditions unfairly.
Vee nodded, never expecting herself to agree with her sworn enemy.
"Yeah, I want to be included with equal rights, not some men arguing on which rules they like."
Rirota sighed lightly as he stood up to directly face Virgil's red eyes, "Very well, we got 30 seconds to state our conditions, now!"
Vee was the first to state hers, "Riro should teach me something whenever I asked and I'll stop causing bad rumours on you, Riro."
Riro smirked, "That can be done, You wanted the first place in upcoming tests right?"
Vee nodded with a smug expression.
Rirota inwardly sighed before breaking into a smile toward Virgil, "My condition is simple, enter your classes."
Virgil clicked his tongue but reluctantly accepted that piece of the agreement, "Deal, although I want you to stop bullying my gang members. You okay with that?"
Rirota narrowed his gaze, "As long as they don't bully the weak."
He gritted his teeth but grinned right after, "Deal.", he hovered his hand for a shake. Rirota accepted his handshake.
"Let's scram to class now!", said Riro as she was the first person to reach the steel door. The rest of them nodded as they hurriedly chased after time.
Rirota sighed heavily as he noticed Vee's tongue sticking out of her mouth while she escaped down from the school rooftop. He didn't forget about Virgil as well since he saw him gave him the bird while walking down the stairs, making puckered lips toward Riro.
Riro felt like she suddenly wanted to spit on his face but controlled herself as it didn't fully harm her physically, "...Fucking pervert."
Rirota sighed again, he felt more tired than usual as he followed Riro back to their classroom.
[Will we find a clue regarding this damn world?]
