The Daily Life Of The Loner (Disturbed)

"Takabana... Taka... Which one?" I asked Hiroto.

"Huh!? We've been inside this class for one semester, you know? One semester!" (Hiroto)

"I know. I know..."

"You didn't know which one is Takabana despite being inside this academy for one semester!? Ah! The first time I talk to you, you also didn't know my name, don't you?" Asked Hiroto.

"Yup," I answered confidently.

"It's not something to be proud of, Ray! What are you? A hermit? Just how unsocial are you!?" (Hiroto)

"Could you please quiet down...? And I'm just a highly introverted person, it's not that strange,"

"The fact that you didn't think that strange behavior is strange is strange enough, Ray," (Hiroto)

"Try saying that again,"

"The fact that you think that it is- Eh? The fact that you didn't think strange is strange... Ah! Whatever, dude," (Hiroto)

"Pfft!" I hold back my laughter.

"Shut up! Takabana is that brown-haired beauty that is talking with Tachibana over there," Hiroto pointed at the brown-haired girl with his index finger.

"I see..." Well, she's not bad.

"Takabana is not a prodigy, but her beauty itself could be considered as a talent too! That curly hair of hers and that foreigner-like face... Hm? Wait, you didn't who Takabana is but you know Tachibana? Hohohoho, you have good taste, Ray..." Asked Hiroto.

"You said that Takabana is a brown-haired girl while between the two of them the one with brown hair is only her, so isn't it obvious?" I answered indifferently.

"Ah... True... Well, I thought that you've become normal for a second there. It turns out that you're the usual antisocial and emotionless Ray, huh?" (Hiroto)

"I do have emotions, though,"

"Well, let's continue," (Hiroto)

"Since Takabana is talking with Tachibana, the next is Tachibana. Tachibana is obviously ranked above Takabana. Not only beauty, but she also has the vibes of noble that make anyone unconsciously respects her. But not only because of her vibes, her smart academics, her talent in several languages, and to add that she's so humble and kind towards everyone despite having such talent and beauty made her appeal as an unreachable girl hit the bottleneck," (Hiroto)

I steal a glance and return to my usual sleeping stance.

"Is that so?"

If she knew I stared at her, she will definitely bark at me once again.

Tachibana Reana.

She is the one Hiroto mentioned and is the one who has the spitting image of the princess I served in my first life. But well, only her face has the spitting image of her highness. I refuse to admit that someone with an attire like that to be the royal princess of the Azeroth Kingdom!

What with that nails!? Is that fashion!? Is that what the young people in this world call as fashion!?

I heard that the fashion the princ- Tachibana-san is following is called Gal in Japanese. Why the hell is she following such a weird sense of fashion!? A girl should not use that kind of revealing fashion!!

Ugh... Thinking about this makes my head aches...

"Wait, don't sleep yet. We still have lots of time to admire the beauties. The next is Ao Entama, the pink-haired beauty," Hiroto mentioned one of my employee's name.

Yes, Ao Entama. Not only did she went to the academy the same as me, get her academy fees from me, but she also gets in the same class as me.

Ao... I know you realized that I haven't go to school yet but you don't even bother to wake me up, don't you?

Just wait and see, you'll get a hellish punishment from me when you arrived at the restaurant today...

I glared at her as I think of what kind of punishment I will give her.

"E-Eh?" Ao suddenly trembled.

"Hm? Are you okay, Ao-Chan?" Asked one of her friends.

"I-I'm fine~" Ao stole a glance at me as she definitely senses the murderous intent I sent her just now.

"Whoa! She just trembled just now. Her expression is so cute when she trembled just now, don't you see? Whoa! She just takes a glance at me, Ray!" (Hiroto)

"She must be trembling because of your dirty look, Hiroto,"

"E-Eh? Of course not. I'm handsome, after all!" said him with a smug face.

"Her beautiful face that got boosted in cuteness because of her pink hair, her brilliance in literacy as her stories and poems could make people break into tears-" (Hiroto)

Yes, but she's a fool in every other subject.

"And then that innocent look of her that is worshipped by all of the boys! Don't you understand, Ray? We all love-" (Hiroto)

"Shut up! Shut up! Where is your usual group? Why the hell are you disturbing me, you girl-maniac!?"

"W-Whoa! Calm down there, Ray. The others said that they're going to the canteen to buy some food. I want to join them but making you mad is far more interesting, hehe," Replied him as he laughed while trying to act cute which is very disgusting.

"You're not cute in the slightest, Hiroto. Scram," I replied harshly as I take my usual sleeping stance for the umpteenth time!

"..." Hiroto strangely didn't say anything for about one minute after I said that. Did I answer him too harshly? Well, it's fine, isn't it? A popular guy like him will has his name stained if he talks with a loner like me.

"You know, Ray... I kind of look down at you when you refuse to talk to me when I talk to you back then... You're very introverted and that baggy uniform you're wearing always makes people disregard you... But you're the one that-" (Hiroto)

*Classroom door opened*

Hm? Why is he stopping?

Not only did he stopped, but the whole class suddenly went silent after the classroom door got opened.

Did the teacher enter the class?

No, there are still 19 minutes before the first break ends.

Ah. Maybe a teacher entered the class to call for a student. But don't they usually call a student by using the academy's radio?

The sound of the steps get nears every second. Ah. Maybe he/she's searching for Hiroto.

"U-Um... Is there something matters...?" Hiroto's nervous voice entered my ears. Why is he sounded so nervous? Did his girlfriend found out he's cheating or something?

"Um... Frostina-san...?" (Hiroto)

Hm? Frostina? I think I've heard that name before...

"I don't have any business with you. But I have business with that guy behind your seat," The familiar cold and haughty voice entered my ears.

"E-Eh?" (Hiroto)

"Yes, I have something to discuss with Ray Lance-Kun," (Frostina)

I raise my head and the image of the haughty white-haired girl I met yesterday entered my view.

Ugh... What is she doing here...?

"I'm sorry, it seems that you're looking for a wrong person who might have a similar name as mine,"

"The one I'm searching for is called Ray Lance, and I remember your face, Lance-Kun. I have something to discuss-" (Frostina)

"I refuse,"

"Eh?" (Hiroto)

"Eh?" (Frostina)

Not only Frostina, but even Hiroto, or maybe the whole class are surprised because of my rejection.

"Y-You..." Frostina clenched her hands because of my refusal.

"I heard that you're-" (Frostina)

"Fine," I answered as I stand.

"Eh?" (Frostina)

"Fine. I'll hear this matter you want to discuss," I said as I walked outside the room.

"W-Wait!" Frostina called towards me as she chased me outside.

"Wait, Ray Lance!" (Frostina)

I pay her no heed and continue to walk.

And when we arrived at the empty classroom where Suzuka sensei called us yesterday, I finally stopped.

"So? What is it?" I asked her.

"Eh? Um..." She suddenly hesitated.

"Why the hell are you hesitating for, mannequin witch?"

"W-Wha- M-Manequin witch?" (Frostina)

"Your hair is white like a witch, you're usually expressionless like a mannequin. So you're a mannequin witch,"

"Y-You..." Frostina clenched her right fist as her face slightly turned red.

"So what is it? Why did you come to my class and made me attract such unwanted attention? If you're not answering then consider our conversation is done," I approached the door once more.

"Fine! Wait! I'm here to discuss with you the service club Suzuka-sensei mentioned to us yesterday," said her as she starts to regain her calm and cold face.

"As I've said before, I'm not interested, neither do I have the time to do so. I'll socialize with people if I need, I don't need any manual or people's help just to make me have some friends,"

"I'm against it as well, but..." (Frostina)

"I'm not interested in your reason," I replied indifferently as I about to open the door, but.

"The case of a junior highschool student nearly killed several students," (Frostina)

I immediately stopped my tracks when I heard her words.

"Hm?" I slightly turn my head back as I stared right into her eyes.

"You're the one that rumor mentioned, don't you, Ray Lance?" (Frostina)

As I've explained before, this academy that is even considered as the best academy in Asia highly prioritizes the students' privacy. Of course, the students have to find out every rule that they could exploit and take to their advantage with their own efforts.

The common mistake students usually did is they put their nickname as their aliases in exams. That's the reason why people immediately know who is smart and who is don't. While on the other hand, there are some people who want to brag about their result that got posted on the academy's billboard, there are some people like me who realized that there is no benefit in having our names posted on the billboard.

Inside this academy, secrets got completely isolated unless you have a case when you've attended the highschool period already. So of course, no one should know about the 'case' I'm in when I'm in junior highschool unless the people who went to same school as I am before.

The one who knew about this case is only the academy alone since they scanned the information about every student to the tiniest detail.

"You don't like unwanted attention since you're an introverted. I know-" (Frostina)

"Blackmailing me, huh? Not a very wise option to chose, don't you think?"
