I have fallen....I mean my phone and hers are being messed around.
Ichinose, how are you so casual? Usually, I wouldn't have lent it to her, however this new device... doesn't have anything worth hiding. 'Ahem!'
It's brand new. I have given her one condition though, to change language into English.
She made a gawking face at me for that, so I used the excuse of getting better at Language subject.
"Hmm...but you left the paper blank. I see, I thought you were illiterate, maybe above...kindergarten now."
This causes her to nod, and start pressing fingers on it, I don't understand, is she getting a kink out of it by adjusting my phone all over?
Currently, I am looking at the floor, in other words heading towards bathroom to wash up a bit, my headband also got a bit loose....
Maybe I can finally get rid of it.
"I am adding you in class group."
Oh...so that's what she's doing. Does it take so much tim----
"Music, Album, Search-kun, Linea, what's th---Yotube! Damn it, we don't have Instaglam....Hey, snapcat is working! I am friending you."
Snapcat...? H removed. Instaglam?
Does it work in that same manner? To share..the fuck is Search-kun? It doesn't sound global at all.
Are we restricted...that makes sense.
Can I ask her if it's Google or about who is President, richest man in the world?
Ronaldo won FIFA...Bieber, Gomez... famous movies, series...Harry Potter, darn it I am not able to watch new Superman.
Demon Slayer Infinity Castle's release is also just a week ahead.
Gojo vs Sukun---
"Rem, it's asking your ID first to send me a pic? Fill it...."
...Nah, I better not think about it, Avengers Doomsday, Secret wars...Ghh! I can't stop thinking, everything is because of Ichinose!
I glare at her by turning a lit---Uff...I almost hit my knee in the wall.
"Student ID?"
"No, your 4-digit number."
...4 digit number? I don't remember anything keyword by such. Is she talking about SSN? But mine wouldn't work here...so, four digit num---yeah.
It's probably something like National ID for every Japanese. Ha....shit.
"I don't know. Just make up anything."
Yeah....yeah. She can't just do that.
What's the harm in saying it though? I can just pretend I am an unaware fool.
"Eh...you don't know. Are--are you lying to me again?"
She's so ready to accuse me. Even from here, I can make out Ichinose's about to throw the pillow in my direction....I think I should feel nervous, a girl is lying with head down on my bed lazily, running two phones.
Her legs playing in the air, black socks, rolling over my futo----
"Before you said, I had no idea such an ID even existed...."
"Meooow! I really want to arrest your parents!"
That's going a bit too far. But, Ichinose being an officer.... how's she even going to run around, capture, will she provide reprimanding lessons to guide people on the road of justice....?
Use her Saintly aura, Halo of Archangel?
Something on lines of "Hey, Mr. Thief come back here, and kindly hand yourself in....!"
With a big frown.
"Haha...."
"It's not funny. Not funny at all. I am messaging Chie-sensei to register..."
If she's done talking, can I open the door now? I am standing right in front of it.
"I got a frown emoji, reply too....I will read it..."
"If you have any troubles in your studies, just find Ichinose-chan. She is the top scorer in entrance exam."
Why do you sound triumphant? Did she add the last bit by herself....?
"Normally, shouldn't it be 'leave everything to the teacher' here to show your cute side?"
Is it really okay for Chie, an educator who hates work so much?
"Does Chie-sensei look like the kind of person who deliberately shows off to be cute?"
"Yes."
....No response Something is wrong. I am having a bad feeling, why do I feel like Ichinose is smiling but doesn't mean it in the real way.
Wait...is she threatening me? I can make out blurry fists shaking...not concealing her meaning at all.
It's confirmed.
"Rem is a devil that makes people very angry."
"No, I don't mean that."
"What about me?"
I almost broke into a cold sweat, instinctively taking a step forward, opening the door by turning the handle down to escape.
From such an onslaught, I can only utter, "Even when you do nothing, you're incredibly cute."
Butter her up.
"Are you suggesting that I'm lazy?"
What the he---
"No no, I definitely didn't mean that."
Why is she so scary? You are supposed to be a pro version of Kushida, from little angel to Archangel descended from heaven.
Her descriptions wronged me! So, I did what should have been a while ago, run into a sacred, holy, bathroom....man, thinking is so hard.
Entering, it's peace inside. Lock the door no----
"Rem, we won't change classes for entire schooling here...."
Click' shut.
I know that, but it sounds like she just read it in class group now. They must be talking about...just everything. I should keep notifications on mute.
Ah... there's sink. Mirror above.
Waking towards it, I look at myself, height is a bit small from my own...it will grow, I have years again...
"Ha....." Wiping some non-existent vapours from it, I put my hand over it, just stared for a while...This Isekai really happened to me. Not just some kind of web novel.
I...I don't have courage, no I have to. Don't kid yourself, I already know what I am about to find there...
Removing my right gloves, yeah. I kinda expected it. They must have broken me a lot....reddish black colour where nails should be. It's clotting, dried up...
Lack of sunlight, fingers are not straight...a bit twisted, and tilted here and there.
There are knives...deep cutting marks everywhere, I can make out bruises where I wear my watch....a line, either he tried to kill hims---or done to.
Red over, type when you wear your silver bangles for too long, difference here....size. Quite big ones. Was I chained somewhere? I removed other one, same condition here....Mmmph
"Maybe it's worse...too pale. I can almost see the bones."
It's disgusting. Deep red lines by some kind of rope, whip...I turn water on, and put my hand under them to clean even a little if possible, not... it's hard to watch dirt...blood, blackish yellow something, getting out, flowing down the sewage pipes.
My sanitation is literally murdered, no wonder Chabashira said I am a bit smelly...why didn't Ichinose point it out? Now I am focusing especially on such a bad odour, I can't stand it.
...Is it out? Yeah, they are fine..could be better with soap. 'Splash! Splash!'
Water is cool, a few droplets slip past my chin towards holes in sink, I don't want to think too much....better continue wearing gloves for a while.
Some medical ointment, balm for blue areas, cuts...will do...Cotton, to wipe for more care. Ichinose, what should I do about her...I can't go alone, she will probably ask why I need a first aid kit.
Emergency case will do? It should work, yeah for a damaged person like me, it sounds normal to have such equipment....
Putting hairband type bandana down, and soaking my hair a little, I try to avoid looking at my right eye.
It's hidden in my bangs, a good point? Out of so many....
Eyepatch... glasses... blindfold.
It reminds me of Kurumi. That girl from Another also had an eye patch, I think....I am not sure. I think she did.
Do blindfolds come in half? Gojo's half or full...I think he covers both eyes, yeah, sure. He does.
His ability, Six eyes. Let's see what fits better. This is so messed up, COTE shouldn't----never mind, White Room's torture is already censored down in...
Volume O.
Putting fingers in my mouth, I don't want to, but have to...I feel like shit, crapped on if I don't.
"Cough..Cou----thu..thu."
"Ghoou....Coug---better."
Down with it, go deep into sewers, makes me want to bathe for an entire day.
Knock! Knoc----hell you want?
"Rem, you fine? I heard noises...."
"Good. Never felt much better."
"Come out. I am getting worr---"
What's with her? Go away, I am sick. At least, school has a decency to put a hand towel here. Even after wiping, I don't look...I miss my face, even that was handsome compared to this...
Why am I alive....
Or is it aftermath of death? Either way, nothing but pain and suffering.
I should have done something wrong to become like...this freak. I want to throw this towel into somewhere, something, punch the wall, break mirror...
Nothing happened though, I just put it back in its original place. I have filtered my mouth with water, gloves again.
Freshener, Perfume, I don't have it here. Maybe I should just lock myself, no need to go out in condition as...trash, garbage as mine.
There is a dustbin nearby, I probably missed it earlier. Throwing medical cloth inside, I start to move towards....
"Should I....?"
Opening the door, I can see Ichinose tapping her foot on the ground impatiently with her face turning in right.
Hearing the noise, she pinches her skirt, gritting her teeth as if she even wanted to come inside but didn't have the courage, "You took so much time. What if I had to go loo?"
"...Your room is next door."
"Hiss! His--Bak--"
Going past me.
'Slam!' She closed it on my face.
How can one person have so many expressions? Do you learn it? Are they really natural....for every situation, Ichinose has a different type of response in terms of face, body movements, voice sounds....
Being a nobody. Ichinose, do you really want to see the river of blood?
I feel like I am becoming a stupid character that I instinctively reject...
Chabashira can report me to security, even though I have Ichinose as a witness, given my situation, I am not strong enough to force myself on her.
In a way, her threat is quite weak.
However, Ichinose too has enough motive to kick me out, or threaten me to help...just like Horikita's food trap.
"You're sighing so heavily. It makes me want to do the same...."
"...You came fast. Never mind, Ichinose, would you like to be my friend?"
I openly declare my desire to be friends with her, there shouldn't be anything wrong with asking such.
We have been in contact for a while now, so it's consistent to awaken my social genes a little....
Besides, it's also saving myself. Ichinose wouldn't hurt her friends right? Her motto is all about word
'Everyone.'
Everyone gets along, everybody does the same thing, let's get along together, whenever I hear such words, just get it.... thoroughly utterly disgusted.
I hope she does it to bare minimum, especially in places like Class B.
Little sheep, angels, people with no individual thoughts, bland personality, just part of crowd, filling numbers, extras....They just agree to everything.
Yay! Our class is so United. Blegh! It makes me want to vomit again...
I reject such...such characters, robots!
The breeze blew the curtains, setting sun shining into my dorm, me, a young man....what am I doing?
Ugh...control your thoughts!
After my request, let alone being friends, Ichinose only gives a stare and moves past me to collect our market list, it's big, will probably take a few days to get everything.
From putting it inside her jacket, to collection of our phones, ID Card, and wearing shoes at doorpoint.
We didn't have a single conversation.
I am tying my shoe laces right now with her beside me doing the same, it's difficult to believe Ichinose is not falling down on her face with such...I wonder how much they wei----
"You want to be friends now...?"
She is giving me a strange expression, at least her voice is back. I feel it was getting awkward just talking to myself previously.
"Is there a step process....?"
It makes her go into a deep thought, glancing at my hands doing a second knot, what is she confirming....?
"You have black for one. White for left. Is it a new trend for shoelaces....?"
I have no idea what she's talking about. Oh... Ichinose's right. It's not matched, vibe is cool...I'll take it.
"But why should I be friends with you? It's okay even if I refuse, right?"
"That's correct..."
Ichinose doesn't want to be friends with me. It's even worse than missing one eye, or a damaged lung.
Wow...that really hurt.
"Honami."
"....What?"
"Before asking to be friends with me, shouldn't you first use my name. I am doing...isn't that etiquette?"
"About...See, I am used to calling your last name."
I can't change my habit of a decade.
Seeing girl's expression of 'Don't you even know this basic norm?'
How can I read such meanings just by looking at her face? Am I molding into what type of algorithms anime's are based upon?
"Ichinose."
"...Are you playing hard to get and turning me into your servant?"
Her words are getting outrageous by the second, how is topic of becoming friends come to the present scenario?
"Consider it a simple personality quirk of mine...."
"Okay. You know I can't see my family for the next three years, right?"
Not entirely true. You can pay points to visit under a contract, make calls using teacher's phone, Chabashira called her mom, I think....or was it in a fanfic?
It's a headache when you read too much, however, if you do pay such an amount to Chairman, or Board, Student Council President, maybe you can...?
Using 20 million points to bring an expelled student? Rights for doing certain things for the first time....
"Do you not want to see...? I mean escape contact."
"Calm down with time....Merit value to give us."
For the moment, I am not sure if Ichinose is even talking to me or having a monologue about herself, placing her palm behind my back on white marble tile floor....
She gives me...I am not sure what to say about this. Only thing, I can see is her pretty face... Ichinose's so close, I want to move a bit sideways to escape her lips parting, "What do you think will happen if I behave badly?"
"....Ichinose will be punished."
'Crawl~ Craw----Fwap!'
....Shit. I am against the wall, her figure towering over me, it's really hard to not focus on her breas---look at her face, above, above...!
Don't think, how you want to grope, and change their shap---or imagine wobbling by giving a little swat, bit---
"Are you going to take my money?"
Gulp...
"I will probably do more than that...."
"hehe."
Ichinose is so proficient at using her assets to get what she wants.

Author's Note
It might feel like I am dragging out, but real life scenes can't be just skipped. I know characters in a scene are limited until now.
However, it's hard to write such a vast, big type of moments. Once, I get hang of it, and write, it will get better. So, just keep up with me for a little bit...❣️
