Chapter 9 - Chapter 009

After I bought all the things I required from the store, I walked toward the park to take a rest there because I got tired here. Huh, it's just like the senpais said, that if there will be a discount on anything there will be number of people to take advantage of it. Today also was my first day to shopping. That's why I think I should take a rest here. As I was walking around to find the seat, I heard two people talking and to my surprise I know one of them...

"Suzune, why did you call me here?"

"N-nii-san.."

One person is Horikita-san and by the way she called the other person I can say that he is her older brother. I shouldn't be hearing about this but what I heard next make me curious...

"Suzune, if you don't have anything to say... then I--"

"I will surely get admitted in ANHS"

Oh, Horikita-san wanted to go to ANHS but she didn't get. Well, I don't know how good she is in studies or any other things but if she told her brother with this confidence, I can take a guess that she did her best in the entrance exam of ANHS. So there might be other requirements also in that school except the studies, huh.

"Hah, Suzune don't make me laugh"

"N-no I-I will..."

"Do you have any idea why did you not get accepted in there?... No, right? You are just a fool who wanted to get enrolled in ANHS"

"I will definitely make... it there"

"What an unreasonable sister you are..."

As he said this, he gripped her wrist of her left hand and forcefully put her body on the wall. Hmm... Is there something lewd gonna happen? They are real siblings.., I think.

"My sister not gets accepted to ANHS... I am the one who bear the shame of it... Don't do anything more.."

"Nii-san... I..."

"You have neither the right nor the ability to aim for something higher... You must learn --"

"Horikita-san??"

As I was watching them talk, I suddenly felt that he is going to punch Horikita-san on her stomach. So I called out to her.

They turned their heads towards me, Horikita-san's brother stopped his hand to hit her. Phew, that's good.

"Horikita-san, is there some help you need. By the looks of it, is he by any chance forcing on you?"

I said this by making my natural poker face, I shouldn't let them know that I was eavesdropping on them.

As they both heard my question, her older brother released her grip from her wrist. And started to pat his school uniform he is wearing. After that he made a genuine smile and introduced himself.

"No. I am her big brother. Horikita Manabu."

"Oh I see. Kaneki Ren. A classmate of Horikita-san. Nice to meet you"

When I introduced myself to him, I turned my face to Horikita-san, who looks like to be still dazed. When I called out to her, she turned her head towards me and said.

"Ka..ne..ki kun, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, nothing. Just buying some things."

As I said, I pointed towards the bag, I am carrying.

"Oh, I see"

"Suzune... I am genuinely surprised to see you've made a friend."

"He is not my friend. He's just a classmate."

"As usual you've mistaken isolation for independence... Then see you Kaneki"

As he said this, he left the place. Now I am with Horikita-san who looks like to be lost in her thought. Should I just leave her here? Or should I say something? Hmmm...

"Well, see you later..."

"W-wait..."

"Yes?"

"Did you hear anything?"

"That you wanted to get enroll in ANHS"

When she asked the question, I without thinking said whatever the answer I get from my mind. And I think it's the best answer I think of because if I said no and then later on she found out that I heard her that will make things quite difficult for me if I have to conquer her. It's the best response because if I help her to get enrolled in ANHS it will give help me to gain affection points from Horikita-san and also the motivation to get the the information on that school. Specially about S-System.

"So... you heard it, huh?"

"Well yes and I am sorry for eavesdropping on your conversation."

"Hm, I forgive you."

"Oh thank you. Then let me treat you something."

"No, thank you"

"Oh ok"

...

After that day, I didn't have any interaction with Horikita-san at all. Days passed. Nothing really happened these past days. Today is Saturday. Yes the day on which I have an appointment with Chairman's daughter.

So I got up at my usual time, caught the bus and reach the school before classes start. I am slowly adapting the schedule I made before the school starts and until now, it's going good.

As usual the teachers comes in the class, write the notes while explaining the content then asked the students that they get it or not. Everyone just shouts 'Haii' then teacher just leaves the class. I think it's normal but... there is no discipline in this school. I mean every student is doing just what they want, like for example if one is talking to another then it's teacher's responsibility to call out to them and tell them to focus on class, right? But there is nothing like that. If student wants to go out the class to do anything, they can.

Is it natural for school to work like this? If it is, then this is all Internet's fault to build this confusion. I came here by searching how school works and many more, to become a good student. Well it does not look like I will become because...

...

In lunch break, I, as usual, went to the cafeteria for getting the lunch... But…

When I bought it, I started searching any free table I can use.

"I find your waves to be quite strange…"

"Yes?"

As I was looking around, I noticed someone is behind me. When I turned around, I found a fair-skinned girl, with a pair of droopy purple eyes, has long, wavy black hair that goes down to her hips. She is wearing her hair in a single long braid which is laid over her shoulder. She is none other than the girl who was with Uotani senpai on the other day. Is she not with her today?

And she is talking about waves...? She finds my waves, strange??

"I am quite concerned about you. From the standpoint of wave."

What this girl is taking about...

Wave Girl?? What's with her title? What does this mean?

"Um?"

"..."

"Is there something on my face?"

I asked this because she is just staring at my face and saying nothing.

"Nothing"

She said this and then started to walk towards where her seat is. I think for a moment that what just happened here. But I didn't think of any useful thing I can guess from it.

So I just went to the empty table which seems to get empty when I was talking with her.

...

School ended. Now I am walking towards the cafeteria because I have a meeting with Mr. Sakayanagi's daughter. I just hope that she is not one of my heroines because I don't know what will I have to do to gain her affection points. Ojou-sama, type of girls, are very arrogant so you can't get affection points easily from them and I already have Yukinoshita sisters who are my heroines... And it's quite difficult to raise the affection bar with them... No not both of them, only the younger sister, who is my classmate. She is just too arrogant that I think she thinks everyone in her class are low people. And Horikita-san has the same ideology. Sometimes I think what will happen if they both become friends...

As I was thinking about my heroines, I reached there without getting caught with any new heroine...

I saw a girl sitting there alone in the cafeteria where no cafeteria member can be seen... I walked toward her as she just kept gazing at me...

When I sit in front of her, I looked at her, she is a petite girl with lilac colored hair and violet eyes. She is wearing the standard female school uniform, with her accessories being a black beret on her head with a gray ribbon connected to it.

She has a half grinned smile on her face, but I know she is nervous... Why though? In my memories, I don't think I have ever met her...

"Kaneki Ren, we met again. I called you here because I just wanted to say 'Thank you'."

"Yes?"

"It looks like you don't remember me, is that right?"

Oh looks like she found out, because my voice that came out does not sounded normal, I think. Well, it's only because I am surprised that the thing I don't want is going to be true. As there was a screen pops up on her head...
