A pensive man whose eyes are fixed on a figure, in that frame is painted a beautiful woman smiling happily while hugging a toddler girl, in front of her is an incense stick. He sighed again, no matter how many times he had done this.
"Ah... It's already 6 am, time to wake up Tae." Said the man while looking at the wecker clock beside his bed.
'How long have I been dreaming? Until I don't feel it's already morning.' he thought, the man scratched the back of his head for a moment then got up and rushed to the next room.
Inside the room, a little girl was seen hugging her favorite stuffed rabbit, her slightly distended stomach was exposed, her blanket was already under the bed, pillows were scattered, even her sleeping position was unusual, but I don't know what dream she was sleeping in until she was sobbing.
The door creaked slowly indicating someone had opened it. A man appeared. He smiled amusedly at the child's sleeping position and then corrected her position first before being awakened.
"Tae... O-Tae... Hey wake up it's already morning, isn't it your first day at school?" the man said. The girl squirmed a little then muttered 'wait another 5 minute , Mom'. The man pondered for a while, before grinning and then tickling the open belly mercilessly. There was laughter from her small mouth.
"Morning... Tou-san," The girl said while rubbing her eyes.
"Morning, now take a shower first and then have breakfast ok," said the father stroking his little girl's black mane, while the Girl only nodded. And the two of them headed for the bathroom on the first floor.
"Tou-san?" Tae said, seeing her father who didn't move while heading to the bathroom. Her father's eyes fixed on the figure who was struggling in the kitchen.
"Ah.. You guys are awake?" Said a beautiful woman with a simple and smiling appearance, "Good morning, Tae-chan and also Takeo-kun." she continued.
"Morning Baa-san" Tae said cheerfully, letting go of the handle from the father's pants then the little girl ran towards the grandmother.
"Baa-san, what did you cook this morning?" she asked looking at the dining table while slightly on tiptoe and several morning menus were already served there.
"Just poached eggs, sausages and nuggets for Tae-chan," The woman said smiling and sat the little girl on a chair, her green eyes sparkling as she looked at the breakfast menu.
"Ano... Takeo-nii, you're blocking the way," said a girl wearing high school clothes, wavy brown hair tied in a ponytail and behind her, a young man was smiling, after Takeo stepped aside, the girl could enter the dining room.
"You didn't have breakfast, Nii-san?" Said a young man then followed his sister into the dining room.
"Yeah, maybe later after the shower." Takeo said walking into the bathroom.
After breakfast Takeo, Tae and Sana said their goodbyes. The man glanced briefly at the bakery that is now his residence where it was written "Yamabuki Bakery".
###############
At the crossroads, Tae said goodbye to her father and aunt and then ran towards her friends who were waiting.
"Neh, Takeo-nii..." Said the girl named Sana Yamabuki, breaking the silence between the two of them.
"Yes?" Takeo said looking at the girl next to him questioningly.
"Are you still sad about my sister's passing?" Ask Sana.
"Maybe," Takeo answered doubtfully.
Sana only raised one eyebrow at her brother-in-law's answer.
"I don't know, when I see you or your mother I always think about her, and..... Yes... It makes me sad," he said this time honestly.
"Sana!!!" Shouted a girl with short brown hair while waving her hand.
"Bye nii-san, we'll meet again at school," said Sana and left Takeo to go to her friend.
As he watched the girl's back pass, Takeo accidentally looked at the girl with two braids beside the short brown haired girl, her face looked fierce, and accidentally their eyes met but not for long because the girl was being pulled by Sana.
Takeo sighed squeezing a bit of the folder he was holding, when he was ready he stepped steadily towards the school and when he entered the school grounds he saw a group of hot-headed girls.
"Ano.. Excuse me, do you know where the teacher's room is?" Takeo asked the group of girls.
"Yeah, oh... The teacher's room is over there, Sensei, you just have to go in there, turn left then right and left again, you'll be there," answered one of the girls, vaguely.
Takeo just nodded then thanked and continued on his way.
########
After following the girl's directions, Takeo fell silent in front of an empty room.
"Is this?" he asked doubtfully.
"Takeo?" Ask someone unsure mixed with surprise.
Takeo turned towards the caller and saw a beautiful brown-haired woman with a trendy appearance, even though it was just a white shirt and black skirt, she was still wearing a doctor's coat, her eyes were green.
"Lisa-senpai?" asked Takeo.
"What are you doing here?" asked the woman again.
"According to the girl I asked earlier this is the teacher's room." Takeo replied pointing towards the room.
"Who are you asking? Follow me. I'll show you the way." The Woman said.
"Okay, thank you." Takeo said following the woman. Without them noticing a shadow disappeared in the room.
In the middle of the trip, the two of them talked, starting from asking news to wherever Takeo was nowhere to be seen. Because Lisa and the Kouhai haven't seen each other for a long time after their high school graduation.
"Oh yeah, your condition is an alumni of this school? Why don't you know where the teachers' room is?" Asked Lisa surprised.
"I don't know, I forgot because it was a long time ago," Takeo replied casually.
"Ahh.. Your relaxed nature from before hasn't changed huh." Lisa said laughing a little at the end.
"Well... It's here, you come in, I'll go back to my room," she said again.
"Thank you Senpai" Takeo said slightly nodding.
"You're welcome, if you need anything just ask me," Lisa said then left from there to the medical room. "Oh.. Yes, since this is a school environment call me Hikawa-sensei, now I'm not your senpai anymore." she continued.
"Hikawa? Which Hikawa?" Takeo asked to make sure. the older brother Sato Hikawa or the younger brother Sena Hikawa, one thing Takeo knows Lisa is dating the two brothers.
"Sato," Lisa answered "You think I will end up with Sena, I'm sorry his status is too high for me," she continued.
"I see, I thought your type was an actor, Senpai" Takeo said.
"No, you better go to the teacher's room now, I will return to mine, bye Hanazono-sensei." Lisa said ending the conversation then walked away from there while waving her hand.
Takeo entered the room and continued his goal, namely to apply to become a music teacher at the school.
#########
In a class with the words 2-B, the students are enlivening the atmosphere of the room.
A female student entered the classroom ignoring the noise she headed towards the blonde haired girl with two pigtails, where the blonde haired girl was engrossed in chatting with her two best friends.
"Ichigaya-san, you were summoned to the staff room." The girl said after saying that she went to her desk.
"You were called to the teacher's room, Arisa?" Sana asked surprised at her best friend because of her feelings, Arisa didn't have a serious problem so she had to be called to the teachers' room.
"I don't know," replied the girl curtly "I went to the teacher's room first for a moment," she continued and then left.
#######
"Excuse me," Arisa said entering the teacher's room.
"Ichigaya-san, can you accompany Hanazono-sensei to the music room." said the principal.
'Why should I bring him? there are student council members why don't you just order Tsugumi, you bald bastard!' Arisa grumbled inside.
Suddenly the girl's pungent scent entered Takeo's senses, he couldn't help but stare at the blonde girl with two pigtails.
While Arisa's face was red, when she looked at the new teacher. 'Eh! what about me? why do i want him uh wait a minute, since when did I become this aggressive?' Her mind screamed between joy and embarrassment.
The headmaster only raised his eyebrows and didn't understand when he saw the silent students and teachers. The headmaster cleared his throat to wake the two of them up.
"O-alright, come on sensei, I'll take you over" Arisa said shyly then her tone dropped at the end.
They both leave from there. Currently neither Takeo nor Arisa spoke, and they had also arrived at their destination.
"P-please, sensei" Arisa said as soon as she got away from there after arriving at the door of the music room.
"Y-yes, thank you" Takeo replied with a stutter.
Takeo entered the room that would later become his workplace and he immediately looked around him, his eyes meeting an acoustic guitar without realizing it. He started tuning the guitar. While being cool, suddenly heard a sound and smelled a bad smell.
'Hm, how come I suddenly have a stomach ache huh?' he thought in surprise. And he was forced to leave there for the sake of nature's call, while no students had come to his class yet.
########
'What is this? Suddenly, my body is all limp' Arisa thought the girl's breathing was very fast and right now she was on her way back to class and passed the student rest room.
"Hah, hah, damn my vision is starting to blur," Arisa says holding her body against the wall and trying to control her consciousness.
Three students who had just left the rest room while joking and one of them accidentally ran into Arisa and smelled the girl's scent, while the other two stared in surprise at their friends.
The blue-haired student who smelled a scent from Arisa quickly turned around and dragged Arisa to the male student's restroom.
Of course the girl was surprised to scream a little but unfortunately the boy closed her mouth and entered one of the booths that were there.
Arisa kept thrashing trying to escape but unfortunately her strength was used up when she returned from the music room. The student is already holding Arisa while the girl is protecting her neck desperately.
