Chapter 6: How To Do an Introduction!
The opening ceremony ends well with the school headmaster's very long speech and is continued by the number 1 student, Kasumigaoka Utaha's speech… Well, if that can be considered one since she just says a few sentences and then go back to her seat.
Utaha is a tall and beautiful slim-figured girl with mid-back length dark hair. She wears a white hairband and has scarlet red eyes.
Though she seems to be sleepy all day long due to her certain hidden identity.
Anyway, after the school opening ceremony comes to an end, Junichirou and the other students walk back to their assigned class.
When coming back to his class, he met someone he knew in front of the door.
"Y-You! You are in my class!"
Of course, the one who said that is none other than Eriri who widened her eyes in disbelief as she stared at him with mouth opened wide as if wanting to eat him.
"Hehe, please to meet you Sawamura-san. Let's get along well as classmates shall we?"
Replied Junichirou with a grin as he feels that her reaction to him is too funny. I mean, she just said that sentence before in quite a loud voice so that the whole class could hear it. Hence… The whole class already knows that there must be something going on between the two of us despite there being none…
"D-Don't talk to me at school and also about that topic! Grrrr!" said her as she showed him her canine like a cat.
Seeing this, Junichirou's sweat drops a little.
'Isn't she the one who talks to me?' Junichirou thought as he attracted her attention and pointed to the whole class who already heard our whole conversation.
"Ahaha…" Eriri can only laugh dryly before separating from him and moving toward her chair location.
Shrugging his shoulders despite the countless glare he receives from many of his classmates(mostly males), he moves toward his seat where he chances upon his deskmates.
She is around 160 cm tall and has long straight black hair neatly cut at the forehead in a hime-style. She also has white skin, sleepy gray/blue eyes, and a birthmark under her left eye.
She wore the school uniform of our high school just like Eriri. a sky-blue sailor uniform with the school's insignia, black coat, a red bow, and a belt.
On the other hand, he and the other guy's uniform consists of brown pants, a blue blazer with a school emblem, a white shirt, and a red tie.
(Author note: Search Haruhi Suzumiya School Uniform for reference.)
Other than that, the school practically allows you to add more according to your preference as long as you wear your school uniform intact. For example, some wear a sweater, some have a scarf around their neck while the girl sitting on the right of him also wears a bunny ears headband.
As for Junichiro, to show his mad scientist side, he also wears a lab coat in addition to his uniform.
However, that was not what he had in mind when seeing the girl sitting on the left of his desk.
'K-Kuroneko!' Her name echoes in Junichirou's mind as her figure appears in front of his eyes.
Although he already conjured up countless scenarios when meeting other anime characters, only Kuroneko alone he could never imagine. The reason was none other than one, she was his waifu.
In fact, the reason he watches Oreimo is actually due to Kuroneko alone and not from the main heroine of the story.
He first knows her from a fanfiction where the protagonist transmigrated to an alternate world and wrote (copy) famous light novels and anime from his previous life.
In one episode, the MC writes about Oreimo and gives him a bit of preview, a bit of spoiler, or simply said the audience reaction when they read Oreimo. It was there that he first fell in love with her.
'Looks like she has already fallen, huh?' Thought Junichirou as he gazed at her.
Kuroneko alias Ruri Gokou is the only character he likes from the story.
The reason was not as complex as beauty, cuteness, or other attributes such as cooking. In fact, it was a piece of her love confessions that struck his heart.
<I love you. More so than anyone else in the world, I'll continue to love you forever. It's the only thing I'm sure of. Even if my body is obliterated, even if the world ends… I love you even after I reincarnate!>
It might be childish, but that kind of love that transcends time and space is what he wants. He really wants to see Ruri sooner. But now, he is still not prepared for what he should do in the chance he meets her. It makes him want to see her and yet also not want to see her at the same time.
"Huh… Well, let all things be decided by the Steins; Gate."
As a virgin and someone inexperienced in love in his previous life, he can only toughen up and walk toward her place before sitting down on his seat beside her.
----------------------------
*Bells ring*
Just after Junichirou sat down along with several of his classmates, the bell rang and their homeroom teacher walked in.
She is a tall woman with long black hair that falls over her shoulders and reaches her shins. She has unkempt bangs that cover her purple eyes. She is also wearing a lab coat over her work uniform just like Junischirou. Furthermore, she has a black vest with a dress shirt underneath, black pants, and a tie that she wears loosely.
"Now, let's make it short, shall we? I believe some of you already know me before. My Name is Shizuka Hiratsuka…, still single right now and I will be your homeroom teacher in class 2A."
She said that as she wrote her name on the whiteboard with a marker. It was unknown why she said her relationship status just now.
"Hmm... Since it seems that there are several new faces here, let's all start with an introduction. Now, the one at the front! Start your introduction!"
"Y-yes! I- My name is Tanaka Tarou" Said a random mob A
(Author note: He is just a random character. Don't confuse him with the psycho mob.)
She seems to be a fierce and stern teacher from her introduction. With a strong tone and sharp mouth, it was no wonder no one wanted her…
The class continued their introduction from the front until it was Kuroneko's turn.
...
...
...
Though it can be seen that her mind is already out of this world as she seems to be muttering something under her breath and didn't even hear her classmates' introductions.
With no other choices, Junichirou can only call out to her to wake her up.
"Excuse me, are you alright? You seem to have spaced out, it's your turn now." Said Junichirou in a whisper.
After all, with that teacher's surveillance, it is hard for him to just call out to her in the middle of the class. Though his effort seems to be futile as finally, the teacher calls out her name in a loud voice.
"Next student, please introduce yourself now!"
"Eh?" Kuroneko blurts out from surprise as she finally faces the front.
"Yes, you! Start your introduction now!" Hiratsuka Sensei said impatiently.
"Ah… I...Heh…..HEHEHE… Start quivering, fellow classmates. I have fallen from heaven to the land of Chiba. I am a "QUEEN" and the "CHILD OF DARKNESS". I once held sway beyond the end of fantasy. An indomitable soul residing in this transient body. I am the fallen saint Kuroneko! May we learn much together!"
…
…
…
Silences ensued in the classroom after her chuunibyou introduction. Almost everyone in the classroom gazes at her with weird expressions on their faces.
Though seemingly unaware by such a gaze, she can only tilt her head cutely with a '???' symbol showing on top of her head.
…
Looking at this spectacle, Junichirou can't help but widen his eyes
'Looks like she is back to her old self huh?' though Junichirou at her side.
With meeting Kousuke, there is a slight improvement to her chuunibyou disease in the story. However, it seems that this timeline follows the original story where Kousuke's sister wins.
Hence, Kuroneko is left with her heartbroken heart and is away from friends that are close to her after the school transfer. With that being the case, Kuroneko can only be back to her old self that threw away all her difficulties through her chuunibyou syndrome.
'Though, it was unexpected for Ruri to transfer here despite Ayase also enrolling in this school. However, I have asked Ayase before and it seems that it was her that transferred here while Kirino and Kurusu Kana are at their old school. Hence all of it was just a coincidence and it seems that even fate allows us to meet here.'
…
Deciding to break the silence and Junichiro's thought was none other than Hiratsuka Sensei who only cares about finishing this ordeal quickly.
"So… What is YOUR NAME!"
"Ah?! Eh… Gokou...Ruri…"
"Gokou Ruri isn't it? Okay, you may sit down. Now, You! The glasses guy beside the girl before, introduce yourself!"
While sitting down, Ruri can't help cursing inside her mind; 'Why have humans based their judgment through their sight? This is why they are clueless about my speech! Heh… After all that thing… I … Why?... Curse!... If this amalgamation of negative emotion explodes, send them all flying! They should all just perish!'
Though it was not long before she deflated and mutter in a whisper;
"There is no place for me here either. That's all, nothing new about that."
"You're wrong," said a person suddenly.
"Eh?" Surprised that someone replied to her muttering, she can't help but look up to her side.
She then sees a guy with red hair wearing her school male variant uniform with a lab coat and glasses on his face. The guy has a smirk on his face as he gets up from his seat and faces the front while looking confident.
"Everyone has a place in everything. It's just that you have never found it." Of course, this was said by none other than Junichirou.
After saying that to her, Junichirou faces all his classmates as he takes a deep breath before introducing himself.
"HELLO! I AM THE CRAZY MAD SCIENTIST WHO WILL ONE DAY CONQUER JAPAN AND INVADE THE WHOLE WORLD! HOUO---UIN KYOUMA DESU!"
After he said his introduction he ended it with a signature pose before posing a confident expression.
Though a lot of sweat can't help but keep drowning his back.
It was not because of shame.
It was also not because of the hot temperature.
Unexpectedly it was because of a girl with the same red hair staring at him using a deadpan expression.
NO! It was also not because he is excited to be stared at but because he knows who she is; Makise Kurisu.
She is a slender young woman with waist-length, reddish hair, and dull violet eyes. She also belongs to the group of four who also wears a lab coat in this class aside from Junichirou, Hiratsuka Sensei, and another guy behind me.
The most problematic problem: She is one of the characters in the same story as the character that Junichirou currently impersonates.
'There is no way she will know Okabe at this time right? In fact, why the hell is she here? Isn't she supposed to have already graduated from University at the age of seventeen? If she is here as a teacher, then I have no surprise but not as a classmate.' Thought Junichirou.
'Well even if she meets Okabe in the future, she will only think it is a coincidence or we are just imitating the same character.'
Though it was not long before his field of vision was filled with a white object.
*Bang*
The object shot to his forehead and caused him to fall back from the impact.
"Headshot!" Shout someone in the classroom.
"Arrrgh, the hell! What is that?"
Junichirou gets up after falling down and sees that it was actually a marker for the whiteboard.
"In-Tro-Duce YOURSELF!" Shouts Hiratsuka Sensei who has another tick mark on her forehead and is also the culprit (shooter) who had headshot him with a marker before.
Seeing the raging demon in front of him, Junichirou hurried back to his seat and introduced himself properly this time.
"Ahem… Hajimemashite! Watashi no namae wa Aragaki Junichiro. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! (Hello! My name is Junichiro Aragaki. Please to meet you!)"
With his introduction finished he sat down to his seat hurriedly.
"Pft… Baka" Said in a whisper beside him.
It was not a difficult thing for him to know that it was Kuroneko who mocked him just now. After all, with those cool lines he uttered, he now embarrassed himself in front of her.
He really wants to hide his face since a blush can't help but surfaces on his cheek from embarrassment. However, he is in class now, and doing so would only be more embarrassing. Furthermore, there is also a chance that the demon in the front would give another round of headshot for him.
'Haa… Looks like I will live in embarrassment from now on' Thought Junichirou who cares more about being seen in a bad shape in front of Kuroneko than shouting those Chuunibyou lines in front of the class.
