"In the morning, with the sound of birds flying in the sky, Kazuki opened his eyes. "Is it morning already…" Kazuki was still sleepy because he had gone to bed at 3 AM...
"Good morning, big brother…" Kazuki saw his younger brother, Akira, entering his room with his usual smile. "You still haven't come home, Akira?" Kazuki asked...
"Not yet, Dad, Mom, and I will come home at 5 later," Akira replied...
"Has Rin woken up yet?" Kazuki asked again. "She has, she's downstairs," Akira answered. "Oh, really…"
"Kazuki got out of bed and went downstairs. "Ah, you're awake," his mother said. "Yes," Kazuki replied. On the sofa, his father was drinking coffee while reading the newspaper. And Rin, as usual, with her blank expression, was reading a magazine.
"It's still morning…" Kazuki walked out of the living room. Kazuki was outside his grandfather Fujita's house. Grandfather Fujita might be out fishing; yes, that had been his hobby for a long time. "Ohhh, the tree I planted is now so big…"
"Kazuki walked towards the tree he had planted... Kazuki looked ahead with a small smile on his lips. "Ohhh, that was my ball when I was a kid…"
"Kazuki picked up the ball and started playing with it. Kazuki juggled the ball with his right foot, just like he used to play with his father...
"Rin put down her magazine and looked outside where Kazuki was playing ball alone. "What are you looking at, Rin-chan?" Kazuki's mother asked...
"Huh?" Rin was startled by Kazuki's mother's voice. "Nothing…" Rin replied. "Hmm. You know, Kazu-kun is someone who really likes being alone. Since he was 5 years old, he has learned to read. It took him 2 months to be able to read at the age of 5...
"He always reads books that are at school or at home. No matter what book it is, he will still read it. Kazuki is too smart for his young age...
"Even though he likes being alone, it doesn't mean he doesn't care about others. He will help someone if that person needs help...
"Is there anything you want to tell me, Rin-chan?" Kazuki's mother asked. "Hmm, nothing. My parents are no longer around," Rin replied. "Is that so…"
"Hmm... how about you marry Kazuki? That way, I will become your mother…" Kazuki's mother said...
"Huh?" Rin was very confused by those words. "As I said, marry my son…" "No, we are still too young to marry," Rin replied...
"Is that so? I understand. So you mean after you graduate from school, you will marry him, right? I understand…" "Wait, you misunderstood...
"I was just joking," Kazuki's mother said. After that, Kazuki's mother went to the kitchen to cook. "What were you guys talking about?" Kazuki suddenly appeared in front of Rin, surprising her a bit. "Huh!"
"Nothing important," Rin said. "Don't tell me my mom talked about weird things with you, right?" Kazuki asked. "Hmm, maybe," Rin replied, a sweet smile appearing on her face. "Huh? What's that? It's the first time I've seen her smile…"
"What were you guys talking about?" Akira asked while coming down from the second floor.
"Nothing," Kazuki and Rin replied. "I'm home," said Grandpa Fujita, who had just returned... "Perfect timing, now let's all have breakfast," said Kazuki's mother...
"After finishing breakfast, Kazuki and Rin went to take a shower and get ready to go to school... How many minutes passed...
"By the way, you guys are in the same class, right, Rin-chan?" Kazuki's mother asked. "Yes," Rin replied. "That's great...
"When did you and Rin become so close?" Kazuki thought to himself... "Alright. Be careful on the road," said Kazuki's mother... They left the house.
"On the way to school...
"Hmm. Hey Rin, how long are you going to keep staring?" Kazuki asked. "You've been looking at me for a while... Hmm, it seems like I really don't match with you...
Said Rin...
"Huh? What do you mean by that??" Kazuki asked. "Nothing," Rin replied...
"They walked towards the school. Once they entered the school, suddenly a girl hugged Rin... "Good morning, Rin-chan," the girl said. "Yes," Rin replied. The girl looked at Kazuki. "Who is this girl?" Kazuki thought to himself...
"Hello, my name is Shinoko Nana. I am Rin-chan's best friend," the girl said. "Best friend? I didn't know she had a friend…" Kazuki thought...
"You think I'm like you who always reads books at home," Rin replied... Wow, she read my mind...
"Whatever, I'm leaving," Kazuki said. As Kazuki was about to go to his class, Nana suddenly grabbed his shirt. "What's wrong?" Kazuki asked.
"Are you Rin-chan's boyfriend?" Kazuki looked at Rin... Rin's face seemed to say you should say yes...
"Yes, why?" Kazuki replied... "This is so strange; you guys are dating but I rarely see you holding hands… "We only do that at home...
"Haah, pretending to be someone's boyfriend is really troublesome... Kazuki thought to himself...
"Is that so...
"It turns out she's easy to deceive...
"How about you join our club..." Rin was surprised by Nana's sudden words...
"Why should I join your club? What will I get from it?" Kazuki replied with a cold stare...
"Eh, that... Nana said without being afraid of Kazuki's gaze...
"Don't scare her, Rin, pinch Kazuki's back... I didn't do anything, you know...
"You really don't know how to talk to a girl, do you? "Whatever...
"If there's nothing else, I'll go to class first..." Kazuki left the two of them...
"Hey Rin-chan, isn't your boyfriend kind of cold? You don't have to worry about it; he's just like that; he simply doesn't know how to talk to girls he hasn't met before...
"Is that so... what if we go to the club now... "You're right, let's go...
Rin looked back where Kazuki had disappeared...
"Kazuki, I thought we were the same, but I was wrong; he is very different from me... he is someone who truly wants to be alone, unlike me who still wants to find friends...
"The eyes I saw earlier are not ordinary eyes... They are like eyes that could destroy anyone who dares to disturb him.
"Just by looking at them, people become frightened...
"I want to know why you want to be alone so much, Kazuki...
"In class...
"Kazuki was sitting at his desk... Haah... This is boring... Hey, new kid, buy us some food... three boys approached him...
"Hah.. Didn't your parents teach you manners? Or do you not have parents, that's why you're so stupid now...
"What did you say?" one of them grabbed Kazuki's shirt and pulled him up from his seat... "Who do you think you are, huh...
"If I tell you to do something, then do it; you're just a new kid in this school..." "Hmm, I also want to know how great you are...
"Kazuki grabbed the hand of the person who was holding his shirt... Kazuki lifted the person's hand up... "Hah? What do you want to do!?...
"Kazuki immediately attacked his chest with his right knee... a sound of pain escaped his mouth, the person held his chest and fell down in pain...
"Everyone in the class watched this incident... as his two friends tried to help him, Kazuki immediately lifted his right foot towards their faces...
"If you dare to interfere, I will make you like him too..." Kazuki's eyes were very cold; just by looking at them, they immediately took a step back...
"Kazuki approached the person who had fallen in pain... Kazuki pulled the person's hair up towards his own face, "Listen, if you dare to bother me again, I will make you leave this school...
"You should know everything about yourself; I know all the evils you have done; I also know I could just kick you out right now if I wanted to...
"Kazuki's eyes showed no signs of lies; everything he said was the truth... the person's face looked terrified after hearing all of that...
"Are you waiting for this stupid person to leave the class... after that, his two friends took him away from Kazuki's class...
"A while later, Rin entered the class and sat next to Kazuki...
"Everyone who saw Kazuki just now could only be silent... Rin felt something strange in her class today...
"After class was over...
"Kazuki left his class... this is very strange; I feel like I can't control my emotions... What is really happening to me...
"Hey, if you walk, look ahead... Huh!? Rin, what's wrong?... In front of them stood a woman...
"Of course, waiting for you... let's go home together; if we don't go home together, they at school will surely be suspicious of us...
"After that, the two of them went home together."
