The second day finally came.
Luckily I woke up early before he woke me up.
That person looked troublesome because he was able to enter my dorm room without permission.
At first glance, it seemed like an invasion of privacy, but since it was part of the school rules, the students couldn't protest.
Well, behind it all, I guess he also has a great responsibility.
He's just doing his job by keeping the dorm rooms safe and also waking up the students who are late.
That person will also punish students if they don't wake up when woken up like Fisa did.
I don't know what kind of punishment he gave, and I don't care.
As long as my life is not disrupted, then I don't care.
I wouldn't be disturbed just because of her punishment, and I was sure of that.
To start the day, I read the paper I had posted yesterday.
Let me see, is there anything interesting here?
Unfortunately, I didn't see anything interesting.
It was just the usual school rules like being on time, wearing school uniform, and so on.
When I looked out the window, it was still dark and I had no idea what time it was.
There's no clock installed in this room, just a bed, a small kitchen, and also a bathroom and toilet.
Maybe I'll take a shower and get ready first without thinking about the time.
That's a given, any student who wants to go to school will definitely take a shower first.
Inside the bathroom I took off my casual clothes and hung them on the back of the door.
Then I looked in the mirror and saw a scar on my stomach, it looked like a scratch.
It seems like this wound is still very conspicuous, but it's a pity that I can't remember why there was a wound on my stomach.
Forget that, I need to take a quick shower and get ready to avoid that person.
My body immediately felt very fresh after being splashed with cold water even though I was also shivering a little.
I also cleaned my teeth using a toothbrush and toothpaste, then I used shampoo and soap afterwards.
A few minutes passed in the bathroom, and I finally finished showering.
I quickly wiped my body with a towel, then got dressed in the mandatory school uniform afterwards.
Then when I was ready, I sat on the bed for a while.
When I looked at the window for the second time, it was already light out.
It wasn't long before I heard someone's voice knocking on my bedroom door.
"If you're up and getting ready... please come out, you have 15 minutes left before it's too late!"
From his voice, I was sure it was the same person who woke me up yesterday.
"I'm ready...thanks for the warning!"
I replied in a tone high enough to be heard by him.
"Good!"
Now that I understand that person's job, he was in charge of waking up the students and immediately telling them to come to school.
Then he would knock on the students' room doors and say things like that.
If there was no answer, then he would go straight in without permission to make sure.
If the student inside was sleeping, he would wake him up from nearby.
If the student did not wake up within the specified time, then the student would be punished by him.
Leave that aside.
It seems like he also has a lot of keys to the students' rooms, which is a big responsibility.
I think he's doing a good job for now.
Well, I have to go quickly to find out the person who has been stalking Rose.
Then I walked to the front door of my dormitory room and immediately opened it to go outside.
Outside I saw him knocking on the door of the next room.
Ignoring him, I went straight to school and it was time for a rather interesting day.
It was quite interesting, because I had actually suspected one person as Rose's stalker.
I didn't have enough evidence, so I wanted to confirm it myself today.
It looks like the weather today is still the same as yesterday, which is sunny and cloudy.
I walked leisurely to my own class, because there was a possibility that I would get something if I walked leisurely.
But unfortunately, I didn't get anything until I finally arrived at class.
The atmosphere of the classroom at this time still felt quiet.
I kept thinking about some possibilities about the person I suspected as the culprit.
But just as I was lost in my reverie, someone tapped me hard on the shoulder.
"Satomi!"
I looked back, and it was Fisa.
I don't know what her purpose was, but it seemed like she intended to talk to me.
"What's wrong?"
I asked Fisa.
"Nothing, I just wanted to reprimand you. After all, you don't have any friends besides me and Rose, right?"
"Yeah, maybe."
"Come on, show some expression! With that lack of expression, you're going to have a hard time making friends."
Friends, huh?
Is that such an important thing?
I don't know, I don't know either.
"How do you show expression? I've never done it before."
"Try to smile like this!"
Fisa told me to smile and she modeled it.
There was nothing wrong with her smile, but there was one thing that bothered me.
What is it?
My body temperature seemed to rise automatically when I saw Fisa smiling.
If you look at her, she's really pretty, and her smile looks cute too.
I still don't understand what's going on.
"Umm..."
"How was it? Have you been able to understand how to express yourself?"
"I think you look pretty, that smile of yours looks cute too."
"Ha-ah?! Th-that's not what I meant!"
What's wrong with her?
Even though I complimented her honestly, she turned her head away.
She also covered her face with both hands.
"Fisa, I'm sorry if what I said earlier bothered you! I won't say it again."
"Sa-satomi, you-you're so stupid!"
Her speech stuttered as well, and shortly after saying that, Fisa left me.
Did I do something wrong?
Really, I really don't understand.
Well, never mind.
I shouldn't think about it too much.
What I need to deal with now is Rose's problem, which is about a stalker.
I have to find the culprit within three days as I said.
No, I think it's just one day.
The more time goes by, the more convinced I am that she is the culprit.
It seemed like I had to confirm it right away.
Then I left my classroom and walked to the second grade area.
How can I meet him again?
With that person, the one who sat on the roadside bench yesterday.
He was also the one who had told me the way to the second year's dining hall yesterday.
Yes, that's right.
I suspected him as the culprit who had been stalking Rose since the middle of first grade until now.
Even though there was almost no evidence at all, I was still convinced that he was the one.
One of the reasons that could make me think that was her surprise at the presence of a first-year student in the second-year area.
He was surprised by my presence, and he covered it up a bit by patronizing class 1-E.
If I had known her name, I would have told Rose right away, but unfortunately I didn't know.
If I were to mention his physical features alone, I'm sure that Rose wouldn't know because there are quite a lot of men with a height of about 175 cm and black hair in this school.
I can't describe more specifically about his physique, such as the shape of his eyes, nose, mouth, and so on.
Maybe I should look for him first, I hope I can get a clue.
No matter how small a clue I get, it will definitely come in handy.
"Ummm..."
I thought for a moment.
One thing came to my mind.
Should I wait until breakfast time?
It's possible that I'll see him again on the roadside bench at breakfast time.
Since I only had this one clue, I decided to wait for a while until breakfast time.
I didn't know what time it was, but I was sure that it would be breakfast time soon.
I think I've been in class long enough, before that I've been daydreaming about Rose's problems, and talking to Fisa about a few things.
Well, I just need to wait patiently.
"Kringgg!!! Breakfast time!"
And sure enough, a few minutes after I waited, the bell finally rang and the screen changed to "Breakfast time!".
I saw many second-year students heading to the dining hall.
"Hmm?"
That person, I finally found again.
My guess was right, he was sitting on the roadside bench again.
I don't know why he did that, but it definitely worked in my favor.
Just looking at him from afar, I was already sure that he was the one from yesterday.
Immediately, before he left, I went to him.
"Who are you-... Oh, you're the one from yesterday. What is it again this time?"
Needless to say, it was him.
Even he also remembers me asking her yesterday.
"Nothing, senior. I was just following someone."
"You're brave enough to be here just because you want to follow someone."
"Yes, you're right. Senior, can you help me?"
"Why would I help you? A stalker has to work on his own without the help of others."
"Is that so? Senior, you sound like you know a lot about stalkers. Can you tell me?"
"Uh, no. I just-... forget it! Who is that senior you like?"
He started to stammer, and I thought I was going to press him even further.
"You know, senior? I like senior Rose, she's pretty and popular, right? I can't wait to date her."
"That can't be happening!"
"Why, senior? Are you jealous? Are you upset that your efforts from the middle of first grade are going to be in vain?"
"What are you talking about?"
By this time she already looked depressed, so I had to press him again.
"But you're so mean, senior. You prevented her from advancing to Class A."
"H-huh?! How did you know?! It's bad, I let it slip!"
He started to feel panicked and mumbled to herself.
But unfortunately I could hear everything, so there was no escape for him.
Now it was confirmed, he was the one who was stalking Rose and scaring her all the time.
"Senior, why is your head down?"
"You, you're the one who was with her yesterday right? I almost didn't realize it because it was too far away."
"So you admit it?"
"Yes, it was me."
"Then do you know that stalking someone is a bad thing?"
"Well, just so you know. I wanted to apologize to her since the beginning of this second year, but I always hesitated. In the end, I still looked like a stalker because I could only see her from a distance."
"You like her, right, senior?"
"Don't you?"
"I'm just lying to get you to admit it. Little did you know, Rose senior looked very depressed and afraid of being stalked. She would warm up as a distraction from her fear."
"You're just a boy in Class 1-E, but you know everything."
"Anyway, apologize to her properly! I have no right to interfere in your affairs, so the rest is up to you."
"Gosh, how could I be lectured by a 1-E class boy. Yeah, well, I'll try. By the way, what's your name?"
"Satomi Adney, from class 1-E."
"Satomi, huh? Thank you for encouraging me to apologize to Rose! I feel quite relieved now."
"Yes, no problem. Then what's your name, senior?"
"Harry Samuel, my nickname is Harry. It's nice to meet you, Satomi! Then, I'll go have breakfast first. You too, you won't be able to eat!"
"Alright, see you soon, Harry!"
In the end, we introduced ourselves to each other before leaving.
Harry Samuel, he's actually not a bad person.
He was just someone who loved Annette Rose, but the way he showed his love was a bit too much.
Harry stalked her in order to get noticed by Rose.
He also reported about Rose giving him information so that he could always be noticed, even though he couldn't be seen.
That was how a rather interesting second day ended.
The rest of my school life was spent being alone and relaxing without dealing with any more problems.
