(The Gameplay Trailer for Final Shape got me acting up, we are so back!) - UppaUppaNo
Standing in front of the classroom door, I think about earlier. . .
Flashback!!!
Y/N: "Uh. . . So I have to have a fake name?"
Y/N sits in front of the standing figures of Kotori and Reine.
Kotori: "Yes, only having the name "Traveler" will make your life harder."
Y/N: "How will my name make my life harder?"
Reine: "It's due to the social nature of today, having something that makes you stand out heavily gives people a reason to distance themselves from you."
Kotori: "Yes, especially here in Japan."
Y/N: "Jeez, I have to change myself to suit the collective masses' tastes, Great. . . Sarcastic of course."
Kotori: "I mean, It's not ALL bad. we have surprisingly low-price houses and grocery prices."
Y/N: "Ah. . . No wonder in every grocery store there's always a 50 to 60 percent off deal. . ."
Reine: "We have a limited amount of time left at this current moment before you head to class. Traveler, you must choose a name."
The Traveler places a finger on her chin, deep in thought.
Y/N: "Hm. . . How about. . . Y/N Voyager? I'll just say, I'm a foreigner." (Hehe that rhymed.)
Kotori: "I guess that's fine."
Reine: "Acceptable."
Kotori: "Anyways, it's time for you to head to your assigned class. We'll see each other later."
Y/N: "Alright."
FLASHBACK END!!!!!!
All this is so. . . so nerve-wracking!! I'm back to school!! even though I already Finished School!!! No matter, I can always finish it again. I'm immortal now after all. Let's just hope my school life is just as uneventful as my last one.
I hear an upbeat, and girly voice from the other side of the door.
???: "You can come in now."
That is my sign to go in and introduce myself, I open the door and walk in. I'm met with a classroom full of students, boys, and girls. I stand beside the Teacher's stand or whatever it's called and I introduce myself.
Y/N: "Hello, My name is Voyager Y/N, I'm a foreigner, and I hope you can take care of me."
Some of the boys have blushes on their faces, the girls have envious eyes. I could see Shido at the back, and Tohka beside him. I could also see that White-haired girl who tried to bisect me when I first arrived here. Her face bore that of someone who hated my very existence and would gladly end it.
The Teacher, whom Reine told me is Okamine Tamae. Ms. Okamine directs me to an empty seat in front of Tohka.
Okamine: "You can take the seat in front of Miss Yatogami."
Y/N: "Ok."
I walk through the many desks, some students still looking at me with either blushes or envy. I could see the same white-hair girl glaring daggers at me. Shido also notices a bead of sweat dripping down to signify the reaction to the tension. Tohka, she is in her little world right now.
Okamine: "OH! There is also another new transfer student! Miss Hikarimochi come in!"
Walking in, Kurumi the Lightbearer introduces herself.
Kurumi(Lightbearer): "Hello! My name is Hikarimochi Kurumi! I'm also a Foreigner! I also hope you guys can take care of me!"
Kurumi bows in a cutesy way, showing more of her naive and innocent self. The class gasps in shock.
Student 1: "Woah!!! She looks like Tokisaki Kurumi!"
Student 2: "Do you think she is her sister?"
Student 3: "Didn't you just hear? She's a foreigner, she is probably a doppelganger!"
The students talk amongst each other, speculating on why Kurumi looks like Tokisaki Kurumi. I mean she used to be Tokisaki Kurumi, she is now a different person and now a Lightbearer. Courtesy of me of course. Anyways, the white-haired girl seems shocked by the appearance of Kurumi. I mean I wouldn't blame her really, two of the same person are different people now.
Okamine: "Alright, settle down. Miss Hikarimochi, your seat is next to Miss Voyager."
Kurumi(Risen): "Okay!"
Kurumi walks toward her seat next to me, she sits down and greets me.
Kurumi(Risen): "I'm excited to start this school year! are you Traveler-- I mean Y/N as well?"
Y/N: "I wouldn't say excited but. . . I'm interested in what'll happen in the future."
Miss Okamine starts listing the students by name, for attendance. One by one, all the names are listed except one. . .
Okamine: "Miss Tokisaki? huh. . . Miss Tokisaki?"
Ms. Okamine keeps repeating Tokisaki Kurumi's name, with repeating silence. The White-haired girl gets up and proclaims.
???: "She no longer comes to this school."
Shido looks unconvinced as do us as well. With my encounters with that chick, there is no way she is gone for good. And just as I say that in my mind, the same raven-haired, red-eyed girl comes in.
Tokisaki Kurumi: "Hello, I'm sorry that I was late, I had a stomach ache while I was walking ~."
Okamine: "Oh, are you alright?"
Tokisaki Kurumi: "I'm feeling quite well now, thank you Ms. Okamine, I'll be taking my seat ~."
The White-Haired girl looks completely shocked, I don't know her name nor do I want to learn her name. She sits back down with the same shocked expression. Shido has a stern face as well, Tohka is just being Tohka. Kurumi is glaring daggers at her original self. I don't want to be near the chick at all, so I just scoot my desk a little bit away from her.
Tokisaki seemed to notice this and eyed me with her one red eye, she's probably hiding her golden clock eye with her hair. yeesh, one well-placed gust of wind and her cover is blown.
I wonder what Kurumi thinks about her original counterpart. Hmmm. . .
Kurumi(Lightbearer)'s thoughts in question. . .
DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE
I'M GOING TO PAY BACK THAT PAINFUL DEATH YOU GAVE ME TENFOLD!
Chuni(Ghost): [Wow, that is next-level hostility. . .]
Back to Y/N's Thoughts. . .
Hmm. . . Anyway, Class is about to start, so I have to lock in and focus. . .
. . .
. . .
. . .
Time Skip
It's lunchtime, Me and Kurumi are sitting together. . . alone.
Not that I mind though, It's pretty relaxing actually, and not too much noise. not many distractions. and no pestering students! Kurumi is sitting beside me, a smile etched onto her face. I continue to eat at my cafeteria lunch.
It's not bad, nor is it great either, it's just ok. which is not bad. Kurumi and I talk telepathically.
Kurumi(Lightbearer): [How's today's school day treating you?]
Y/N: [It's pretty average. nothing major happening, if you count Tokisaki that is.]
Chuni(Ghost): [I'd say, that white-haired girl kept looking at you, Traveler]
Y/N: [Oh. . . yeah, Tobiichi Origami is her name. . . Yeah, I've noticed. . . the whole time]
We continue eating our lunch. Some of the male students stealing glances at us, especially me.
Kurumi(Lightbearer): [Yeah, she looked like she wanted to get you, or worse!]
Y/N: [Let's just avoid her, she obviously will not hesitate to attack us or tolerate us.]
Suddenly, sitting on our table is Shido and Tohka. . . and Origami. . . Great. . . I don't mind Shido and Tohka, it's just kinda ironic that after we had the agreement to avoid her she immediately comes in.
Tohka: "Hello!"
Shido: "You won't mind if we sit here?"
I shrug, Shido isn't not to bad of a guy, I mean I think he's rather kind. too kind. . . I don't know, I've never had nor experienced that kind of kindness before. Back before I got reincarnated, it was a very dog-eat-dog world, you can't be genuinely kind or nice anymore without being told you have ulterior motives or doing it for clout. Tohka was in that same ballpark, except she was almost childlike and naive, kinda like those weird anime tropes. To summarize, they're not bad. Origami though. . .
Ever since I came here, She's been the first to attack me. so immediately we have no actual friendly connection, and I'm pretty sure she won't ever have that connection by the way she looks at me. Kurumi shrugs as well. Shido, Tohka, and Origami sit on the opposite side of the table. I could tell Tohka and Origami had tension with each other, did something happen?
Origami: " Shido, Here. I made you cookies."
Origami presents a box of cookies, Huh. . . I completely forgot we had a cooking class. . . Time sure does fly. She presents it to Shido, Tohka also has a box but hasn't said anything about it.
Shido: "Er. . ."
Tohka then presents her box of cookies, they look pretty burnt, I don't think that they're very edible.
Tohka: "Hey! Shido, look I also made you cookies!"
Two very different types of cookies are presented to Shido, the perfectly baked ones are Origami's, and the burnt ones are Tohka's. The two start bickering.
Tohka: "Shido, try mine first!"
Origami: "No, try mine first."
Tohka: "Please try mine!"
Origami: "I insist you try mine Shido."
I have no words for what's going on. I mean this looks exactly like an anime bit or gag, Kurumi just seems indifferent to it. Shido looks like he is managing a stressful job, so he decides to just eat their cookies at the same time. He grabs one cookie from both boxes and puts it in his mouth.
Immediately I noticed sweat forming, there is one indication for this. One of the cookies was god awful and I think I know which one is Tohka's.
Tohka: "Is it good Shido?"
Shido: "W-Wonderful, I-I'd say fantastic! Regret Regret Regret Regret!!!"
Origami: "How were my cookies, Shido?"
Shido: "Great, W-Would try again!"
Origami: "Then I'll keep in mind to make more for you."
Huh. . . This is making me feel lonely. . . Kurumi looks at me with stars in her eyes. those eyes scare me. . .
???: "Voyager-san, mind if we talk? ~"
Suddenly a voice calls out to me from behind, I look back and see Tokisaki Kurumi. . . Shido, Tohka, Origami, and Kurumi(Lightbearer) stop what they're doing and look at Tokisaki Kurumi. I glance and Kurumi(Lightbearer) and Shido. Shido seemed to be confused but soon figured out what I meant, Kurumi(Lightbearer) smiled but in her eyes rage flared.
Y/N: "Sure. . . Miss Tokisaki, but let's talk privately. . ."
My eyes show indifference, I get up and walk with Tokisaki, heading up to the roof.
Tohka: "Where is Y/N going?"
Shido: "I don't. . . know. . ."
Origami says nothing as she eyes Y/N and Tokisaki leaving. Kurumi(Lightbearer) telepathically talks with her ghost.
Kurumi(Lightbearer): [Do you think she will be ok?]
Chuni(Ghost): [I think so, The Traveler isn't a pushover, I'm sure she'll be fine.]
Kurumi(Lightbearer): [I hope you are right.]
. . .
. . .
. . .
. . .
. . .
Shido watches as The Traveler and Tokisaki Kurumi leave, he feels something is going to happen. and it's not a good feeling. . .
Shido: 'I hope the Traveler knows what she is doing. . ."
???: [Dark Whispers][Don't worry it's not like she is going to jump off the roof like you almost did ~]
Shido: 'What the. . .'
???: [Dark Whispers][Such a pure soul. . . untainted, filled with dreams. . . I'll have fun wrangling your beautiful screams from your throat~]
