Chapter 9 - Taitai Yuki 2

"Yo Sango-san, when did you guys become so close?"

Satoru says with a grin as he walks besides Sango

After Mrs. Yuki dismissed them, the started their way home walking.

Sango looked at him for a second and looked at him if he were a zoo animal.

"Hmm?"

"Your boyfriend seems interesting, though. How did you guys meet?"

Sango took another look at Satoru; his eyes were gleaming with anticipation for her answer. She ignored him. However much he was the key, she was simply not interested in Satoru. But Sango's silence only invited more questions from Satoru.

"So, how far into your relationship are you? Have you kissed yet?"

"Why are you asking me these questions"

Sango asked with slight annoyance. Satoru did not pickup on her subtle annoyance and continued asking questions.

"He seems shy, who initiated contact first? Was it Sango-san who did it first?"

'How is he the key to moving the 'script' forward? To begin with, what does he do that's important for the story? He is so annoying!'

Sango's face remained nonplussed.

Satoru didn't seem to notice though

"So, how often do you guy go on da-"

"My house is this way."

Sango points the opposite direction.

"Ok~! See 'ya later, Sango-san"

"Good riddance"

Annoyance was written across her face, but gradually her face eased up the further she got from Satoru.

"How does Friend B expect me to believe that he is the key to whatever non-sense world we're in?"

Sango slightly doubted Friend B's claims that Satoru was supposedly the protagonist, but he was the only one she could rely on at this moment.

'He is so much more different from everyone else; all the other classmates blend into everything else. Like apparitions.'

Sango tried to pin why she called out to Friend B last lunch.

'It was a hunch'

She felt that there was something about Friend B that was anomalous, but his revelations about this world came off strange.

"-Tsk, what kinda of name is 'Blossoming Trees Shimmering in The Wind'? Seriously."

She thought that Friend B was weird. He looked lonely and acted like a lost puppy. The way he acted caused Sango to become more interested in him and provoked her desire to tease him. When he cried, she felt like taking him in, thusly starting their group: "Friends".

As the school got further and further from Sango, she noticed that all the houses started to look the same. Occasionally one or two houses would look unique. It felt unsettling. The houses didn't even have family names on them, yet the different ones would. How has she gone everyday to school and not noticed this?

Although she was confident when talking to Friend B about the abnormality of the world they were in, seeing it was another ordeal. Sango looked up and down for inconsistencies in this odd world. New things she noticed that felt too surreal.

"Change the script? Yeah right, at this point we would have to change the world."

Sango stopped for a second, she wondered,

'If something happened to Satoru, what would happen to the world?'

Suddenly, Sango started plotting deviously.

At Mrs. Yuki's house.

Friend B felt the worse sense of unease and dread as he approached the house. But as if to cure his unease, he remembered all the escape routes from this house.

"You can come in, 'ya know."

Mrs. Yuki spoke casually. She was still wearing my blazer, so it almost looked as if she were a student too. Mrs. Yuki was in her mid-twenties but could still be confused for looking around my age.

I walk in hesitantly as I felt a drop in my chest every time I took a step forward, making the next one heavier than the previous step.

Eventually, Mrs. Yuki just grabbed my hand and dragged me in.

"Jeez, I don't bite! Just so you know. Also, don't think of anything weird~!"

Mrs. Yuki pouted, apparently mistaking my apprehension for some adolescent quirk.

Making her way throughout the house she puts her blouse and my blazer in her washing machine. She comes back wearing a loose shirt and a loose pants.

'Did she-?'

"Why are you just standing there you can make yourself comfortable while you wait for it to wash. Oh! Let's go to my studio, I can show off my awesome guitar skills, or, or maybe you want to see me play the drums-"

"Teacher, did you take off your bra?"

"I told you call me Yuki-san-! Buwah~! Look away!!"

It seemed she was more aggrieved at being called teacher by me, but she is an airhead, isn't she? Is she really so carefree as to forget to wear a bra? Forget being the same Mrs. Yuki from the past repeat, is this even the teacher Mrs. Yuki?

"Yuki-san, why are you so different when you're a teacher than when you're not?"

Mrs. Yuki paused for a second while covering her breasts.

"Because I value the education of all my students, and I can't let myself slip when I teach you guys. I try my hardest everyday so that each and everyone of my students can succeed"

Mrs. Yuki said maturely, but immediately afterwards she broke that mature façade

"But jeez, it takes a toll on me, so when I'm not teaching I'm relaxing~."

She stuck her tongue out at me and quickly rushes back to get a bra, her long black hair moves with her

If anything, she is beautiful. Oh, and by the way she is single. She is called Mrs. Yuki only because she wears a ring on her finger, but I think that is merely for cosmetic purposes. Besides that, it would be weird to refer to her as Teacher every time I wanted to refer to her. So, if anything "Mrs" is a joke that only I get.

Why does only Satoru call her "sensei"? I don't really get it either, but it's part of his lines so I don't question it that much. Teacher, sensei, I think she responds if you call her anything.

Not that I would try that anyways.

After she puts on a bra, she leads me to her studio where she records her music.
