Chapter 5: School

The next day, everything is ready. Junichirou set off confidently in front of his house.

After going out, Junichirou's face of confidence disappeared…

After all, there was no one, so there was no need for that.

It's just that after he had just walked for a while, He suddenly heard a voice coming from behind:

"Wait a minute."

Turning his head, he saw Ayase running over.

She wore a shiny tender green coat that looked pretty. It was not buttoned, revealing the blue and white uniform inside.

Looks like today Ayase is still full of energy.

"Wait a minute? Ayase, why are you here?"

However, Ayase didn't answer and just said directly; "Let's go together." She looked very hard to refuse.

This time, Junichiro looked at Ayase's eyes and didn't dodge: "Let's go."

Side by side, two shadows, one large and one small, are constantly being elongated by the rising sun.

...

I don't know if it is because he gets up and feels good, he then goes to school only to find out that you didn't bring your school bags… Or suddenly forget how to get there...

Well, in short, Juunichirou just realized he doesn't know where his school is.

Why did Junichirou panic and forget the way to school? Although he knows that his memories from his predecessor are not fully integrated, the memory for the school location is already stored in his brain. However, it looks like even he (the predecessor) doesn't know where it is...

He had just been enjoying the enviable gaze of people on the street just now for walking with a beauty (although she is his sister). But now, no matter how many people are staring here, it won't make him happy at all.

"Junichirou, what's the matter?" Ayase looked at him strangely.

He didn't answer Ayase, looking around with his eyes wide open, he is trying to find something out of the ordinary. This might bring back his own memories and think of the way to school.

This convenience store? telephone pole? Students passing by? traffic light? But He really can't remember and has no impression of the surrounding scenery at all.

'Should I Ask my sister? Well, this is embarrassing…'

Sister, do you know how to get to my school? I suddenly forgot…

'Fuck! No way in HELL! How can I ask such words?'

Slowly, Junichirou also started to produce a few drops of sweat on his forehead.

Ayase saw this scene and suddenly understood something.

She softly said: "If you feel unwell, we can go tomorrow, don't force yourself."

There is no blame at all, but rather gentleness.

However, he did not sweat because he was afraid of going to school.

He glanced at Ayase.

'She must be thinking that my legs are shaking too? Or might be thinking I'm going to cry? Or even thinking that I am scared to go to school, right? Damn! Don't look at me with such tenderness! This is a misunderstanding!' thought Junichirou

He starts sweating more as her gaze becomes more uncomfortable to him.

Suddenly, a flash of light appears in his mind;

'Wait... I can just search it through my phone right?''

After all, this is 2013. Smartphones have been popularised ever since in this world. If you don't know where a location is, you can search it through the map in your phone along with the global positioning system (GPS).

With that, Junichirou searches for his school and finds its location. Although he doesn't know where his school is, it is too much to not even know what its name is…

Btw, his school's name is Ichou high school, a subsidiary of the Hiiragi high school which is a famous school nationwide and even international.

'Saved' Junichirou thought as he survived the embarrassment…

With that, Junichirou walked confidently toward his school…

…

Or so he thought until he arrived and realized that He attend the same high school as Ayase…

'The Fuck! Why the heck I was even concerned about my school location before? I can just follow my sister to school!'

Ayase is just one year younger than him due to his parents doing 'that' just after giving birth to him. Hence, it was normal for his parents to enlist him in the same school as her.

On the other hand, it might also be a way for his parents to view (monitor) his progress through Ayase, his little sister.

"Let's separate now, I will search for my class myself," said Ayase suddenly.

Without waiting for a response, she left him in front of the school.

Looking at this, Junichirou can only sigh "Hah… Looks like she doesn't want others to know that I am her brother."

While lamenting that, Junichirou left to search for his classroom.

------------------------------------------------------------

As he walked through the corridor searching for his class A, he heard a conversation.

"You want to base a game on this chance encounter you had with that girl?" said a girl.

"Of course! When I saw her, game dialogues, visuals, and music started flooding through my mind. That's how I knew, the only way to depict this story is through a game!" said a guy who is probably the girl's partner in conversation.

Hearing this conversation, Junichirou stops in his step since he feels this conversation is familiar. He turns around a corner and finally sees their faces.

He sees a blonde-haired girl in a twin tail who is starring in a deadpan expression toward a guy in glasses as she says this: "That's not what I mean… How about instead, you find her and tell her how you feel?"

She is a beautiful, petite girl with long, straight blonde hair, which is tied up into twin tails, laced with two blue ribbons. Her eyes are light blue and she has very pale skin. Finally, she is small in that area.

As he heard her question, the glasses guy counter her with another deadpan expression while saying: "Why would I profess feelings to some 3d girl?"

The guy's appearance is of a teenage otaku boy with straight black hair that covers his forehead. He has light blue eyes and wears glasses with his school uniform just like him.

Hearing this answer, the twin-tail blond-haired girl can only scratch her hair while saying:

"And so, now you want to drag me into your little masturbatory fantasy because… Why exactly?" said the girl with annoyed expressions.

With that keyword, the glasses guy finally shouted: "Because you're the best illustrator I know of!"

He then continued: "By day, you may be the star of the 'Ichou Art Club', Sawamura Spencer Eriri!

but by night, you're a member of 'Egoistic lily', the super-popular 18+ doujin circle, Kashiwagi Eri!"

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" the twin-tail blonde-haired girl screams as she starts whipping her twin-tail in a whirlwind.

Yes, both of them are Eriri and Tomoya from Saekano. And now… Eriri is unleashing her legendary twin-tail whirlwind skill on Tomoya.

"For goodness sake! How many times have I told you to never utter that name on school grounds?! What if someone hears it!"

With that sentence, she starts looking around the surroundings until finally, her gaze pauses on Junichirou standing at a corner…

"Ehm… Sorry Ms. Kashiwagi Eri, I just passed by and heard your conversation." Says Junichiro in a panic, seeing her rage shown in her eyes.

Though, his answer seems to be adding fuel, no..., adding explosives into a fire. Hence, the fire…

...is no more.

"No!!!!!!!" scream Eriri as she kneels on her knees while facing the floor.

Silence ensues in the hallway before a voice suddenly interrupts this silence.

"Ano… you will do it won't you? you're in, right, Eriri?!" Said Tomoya who speaks out despite this weird atmosphere.

"HELL NO! Forget about that stupid game of yours, what about you disclosing my identity huh?!!!" Scream Eriri to Tomoya's face before looking at me.

She then said this in a fearful tone; "And YOU! W-what are you g-gonna do? Will you threaten to disclose my identity? Will you rape me because of this? Will you-"

"STOP! The heck are you imagining? First of all, I am also an Otaku so I don't care about your secret identity as an 18+ content creator. Second of all, I will still not disclose your identity since I am (the predecessor) also an avid reader of your creation. Finally, I can only say as expected of a hentai doujinshi artist… Their imagination can be said to be quite… Ahem, forget it." As Junichirou said that, He continue by looking at Tomoya.

"Anyway, I am quite interested in your game-making project, can I join your group? I can do programming so you can leave it to me." He said to him,

After all, He already misses the Oreimo timeline. There is no way he is called a transmigrator if he doesn't involve himself in the story!

"Of course! I will welcome you to join my group! Then how about you Eriri? Look, I already have 1 member in my group!" Replied Tomoya while changing the flow of the conversation back to asking his childhood friend.

"Ha? Of course, I already said no! If you're that hung up on doing it, why don't you just do the illustrations and scenario yourself?!, isn't that the doujin way?" Replied Eriri with sarcasm.

"it wouldn't work. I couldn't depict that girl's beauty with my skills in a million years! She is eh... how she looks like again?" Said Tomoya with a melancholy expression.

"You don't even remember what she looks like don't you?"

Hearing this, Junichirou could help but think of Megumi Kato.

'I never realized this from watching the anime but… Does the reason Tomoya has difficulties with the script, visuals, etc of his game have something to do with the high stealth skills of Kato?'

"Of course I do! My expressive ability is just isn't good enough to depict that perfect image! to even attempt to would mean I demean her. That's why I need the power of your illustrations!" Said Tomoya in rebuttal.

Deciding to end this conversation, Eriri just leaves the location and said: "Later, and You! don't you dare reveal my identity!" while pointing at me.

"Sure," he replied shortly.

On the other hand Tomoya… "Wait, Eriri! Give me one more chance! Just listen to what I have to say once more!" Tomoya chased her as he called her name.

"There's nothing more to say." Said Eriri curtly

"We'll be waiting in the AV room after school, Right! You… What is your name?" ask Tomoya after finally realizing he never asked for Junichirou's name.

"Junichirou, Aragaki Junichirou." He replied to Tomoya's answer.

"I see! Aragaki isn't it? Don't forget to go to the AV room after school!" Said Tomoya as He too left for the auditorium for the opening ceremony.

"Yes," Junichirou replied shortly while going to his class to put down his bag before leaving for the Auditorium too.

"So his name is Aragaki Junichirou huh? Looks like my relaxing school days will change a bit from now on…"
