51 Chapter 51: First Day in New School

Babies are really tiny creatures, aren't they?

I had known that since six years ago when I first had Raiha in my arms, under my parents' supervision, of course.

I still remember the first time I ever held Raiha in my hands - I was the same age Raiha is now. I remember being anxious about holding Raiha, being as small and fragile as she is, but I had been convinced by my parents.

My father was at my side, grinning like a fool but prepared to catch my sister if I somehow drop her. That was my only relief because I didn't really trust myself holding a baby this young.

Raiha's tiny hands were waving through the air in no apparent pattern, and when I offered my finger, she held on as tightly as she could.

Why do babies have such strength? When they grab something, it's near impossible to get it away from them unless you tear it off and risk hurting the baby, of course.

Despite being an adult my past life, I had never been close to a baby like this before.

Although I had more strength than an average six-year-old, Raiha weighed quite heavy. Much heavier than what I had thought a few months old babies would weigh. She was 6kg after a few months, almost 7kg.

It was something unexpected yet unique. Mothers have it tough, don't they? Having to carry a 5kg baby in their womb for almost a month before finally letting the baby out.

Now that I'm almost thirteen and carrying my two new four-month-old little sisters, my feelings haven't changed one bit.

*****************

It was finally April. Today, school started once more, and I don't mean the new term for elementary school.

For me, it was already time to enter junior high school, together with Kaori and Shouko.

It was no surprise that all of us managed to pass with me vigorously teaching Kaori to ensure that she wouldn't fail her exams.

April was the month of spring; although sparse, there were trees filled with pink flowers blooming all around us as we took the bus.

Unlike in elementary school, where the school was within walking distance, the junior high school we chose to enter was slightly further. Thus, we needed to take the bus to reach our school.

Sumiya junior high school. The very same school that Kaori originally went to in the anime.

I didn't actually remember the school name, but I remember how the school uniform looked. It looked pretty unique anyway, making it hard to forget.

The boys had to wear a red-and-white-striped necktie, blue dress shirt, grey trousers, grey blazer, black socks, and white sneakers. On the other hand, the girls wore similar attire except that the girls had to wear knee-high socks and a grey skirt instead of trousers.

Nonetheless, the sight of Kaori and Shouko in their new uniforms made my day once more.

And why did I use the phrase "once more"?

Because before this even happened, my four cute little sisters had already made my day!

Raiha was just being Raiha, and her cuteness hasn't decreased at all.

And Yuzuru...well, she was developing in the wrong way. I don't even know why she decided to become a tomboy even when her sister wasn't in any depression! Her hair was slightly longer than a boy's, but apart from that, she was getting more tomboyish!

Why can't I have another cute sister?!

But when in doubt, I always blame my dad. It must be him who has been subconsciously influencing Yuzuru to be less girl-like. Sigh, but regardless of her behavior, she and Raiha still got along really well. And at least she wasn't taking photos of dead animals' corpses with the camera that our parents had given her.

And next! What the readers had been looking forward to for the past week! My new little twin sisters!

Both were absolutely adorable, and they took after our parents quite a lot.

The older one was named Uzuki, written with the kanji of 'feather' (u) and 'moon' (zuki). She was only four months old, so she didn't have much hair growing on her head. But the few strands of hair that were starting to grow to be visible were very distinctly pink in color.

Like me, her hair color followed the anime logic, meaning that she inherited her hair color from some random god, though her eyes were distinctly green, like our father.

The younger twin was named Satsuki, written with the kanji of 'blossom' (sa) and 'moon' (Tsuki). Like her older sister, she didn't have much hair either, but we could tell that she inherited her mother's hair color: purple.

And much like me, she was also born with green eyes. Except for Satsuki and Raiha, none of us actually inherited much from our mother's side out of the four children my parent had.

It seems that my father's green-eye gene was the more dominant gene, ignoring the hair color because, let's be real here. Hair color was a random thing in this world.

How did Kaori get her blond hair when both of her parents had brown hair was unknown.

Moving on from appearances, I cannot emphasize how cute the twins were. Even Raiha was charmed by them, and she started spending more time with them than with me...

I'm crying now.

Anyway, our family grew from four to six with the extra two people in my family, which meant our financials were getting tighter and tighter.

My father decided to stay beside us to help take care of the newborn babies, only taking local jobs and never working overnight. And thank god for that because if he had actually chosen to leave for work someplace far away, even if my mother didn't beat him up, I'll beat him up.

And because of the twins, my mother also became less lazy and worked harder for her babies. In the past, she only cooked whenever I was lazy to do so. But now?

I get to enjoy all the food that my mother makes. Even if my own food is good to eat, nothing beats your mother's homemade food. Trust me.

But having said enough of my family, my new school was now right in front of my face.

If there is one word that I would use to describe my school, it would be normal. There was a huge soccer field and baseball field that was much larger than what we had in elementary school, though the school buildings looked slightly smaller. Probably because the junior high school only had three levels, while the elementary school had six, requiring much larger space to occupy all six levels.

As soon as Haruma, Shouko, Kaori, and I entered the front gate, I noticed that we attracted quite a bit of attention. And by 'we', I mean Haruma and me.

I've lived in this world for almost 13 years now, and I still can't get used to the fact that the ratio of boys to girls was skewed so drastically towards one side.

"My, my. You are attracting quite a bit of attention, Fuu-chan."

"I think you meant that you are attracting quite a bit of attention, don't you, Haruma?"

"Well, at least half of them are just staring at you with stars in their eyes."

"And the other half are looking at you."

Strangely, neither of us was denying the attention that we were getting. It seems that we simply got used to getting this amount of attention, though some people weren't - for example, like my dear little Shouko; she was never the type to enjoy all the attention, anyway. She preferred staying quiet beside me.

"There, there. Don't worry too much. Let's all just enjoy our junior high school life, shall we?" I told them and started patting their heads.

"Stop messing up my hair..." Kaori grumbled as she flattened her hair.

"I didn't ask you this on the bus, but since when did you tie your hair in pigtails?"

"Hm...because I grew out my hair in elementary school, but it isn't long enough to look nice when I just let it flow down. So I've decided to tie it up in this fashion. Do I look good?" Kaori asked as she twirled around on the spot and smiled.

"Yep! You look cute." I told her before feeling a tug on my other side. Looking towards my other girlfriend's direction, I smiled and said, "You look good as well."

"Hand."

What?

"Give me your hand."

What a strange demand...

Giving her my hand, Shouko grabbed it and smiled, "Let's hold hands!"

Urgh...I felt another arrow pierce my heart.

"You want to hold hand to schools from now on?"

Hearing my question, Shouko nodded, "Yes."

"Me too! Me too!" Kaori jumped and held my other hand, swinging it vigorously front and back.

"Yes, yes..."

This girl is too hyper. Though, I liked that a lot more than when she was still meek and quiet in front of me.

"Woah..."

"Who is that coming in that limousine?"

"We have a rich freshman this year?"

"It is a girl or boy?"

Hearing the increasing volume of murmuring, I realized that the attention had been directed away from me. Turning around, we saw a limousine roll up and stopped right in front of the school gate, blocking the majority of the entrance.

"Do you recognize the limousine, Shou-chan?"

"Should I?"

"Yeah. We went on board of it before."

"EH? You guys went on board a limousine before?! Why didn't you tell us?" Haruma and Kaori exclaimed.

"Do you think you guys would have believed us if we said so?"

"No."

"Then?"

"Fine. You've made your point. Still, who owns that limousine? Is it an actual rich kid?" Haruma asked curiously.

"Nope. You'll see later." I spoke mysteriously, causing Haruma and Kaori to become even more curious.

"Oh! Is it..." Shouko was about to continue saying, but I stopped her from revealing the 'rich young master' identity.

"So you do remember him."

"So he also attends this school..."

"Yep. Seems like we're gonna make tons of new friends. Good for you, Shou-chan~."

The moment I finished speaking, the limousine's door opened, and nine buff women came out of the door. One wore a full black tuxedo suit while the other wore a yukata, though her shoulders were exposed, showing off her muscle-filled arms. The other seven seemed to be underlings of these two women as they stood upright in front of the class, their hands positioned behind their backs. A familiar blue-haired boy came out of the car with his head held down.

"Well then, Bocchan!! Have a great day today!!" The yukata woman loudly yelled as she patted the poor boy's shoulder. The other 8 echoed after her, wishing their 'Bocchan' luck.

The boy was silent for a while as he noticed the number of stares on him before he faced the sky and yelled out loud, "NOOOOOOOO!"

*****************

A/N: Guess which anime those twin little sisters came from!

I know that Your Lie in April's plot starts in their third year, but due to the story that I need, I will be shifting it forward to the first year, aka now. If you're wondering why I chose Sumiya, it's actually because I don't recall any other junior high school in anime. So if you don't like it, then suggest something else.

A/R: I had re-read my first few chapters, and I have to say I was retarded in the past. I'm going to try and re-write the first few chapters to be a lot better. It won't affect the regular posting schedule at all, so you don't have to worry. I apologize to those looking forward to more chapters, only to find that it was just me re-posting the entire thing.

If you want to re-read, by all means, go ahead. I think I'm going to introduce Fuutarou's past life a bit more to be more informative. But if you don't read it, it won't matter too much.
