 Fateful Counter and Unexpected Neighbour's.

A brilliant, Captivating Crimson ––

From his seat by the window, Ren could see the schoolyard. His gaze was irresistibly drawn to a certain figure standing under the Sakura tree and look a pink tree with intensity.

His breath caught in throat because he knows who she is. She is school idol and this story main Female lead. "Ruby Crimson"

Her crimson red hair glowing slightly under the afternoon sun, her beauty is breath taking, far surpassing any girl. slim yet perfectly proportional body, she has perfect size of ample pair breast their size must be D- E cup, her body is full of curves, she radiated an otherworldly elegance that didn't seem to belonged to this ordinary reality. Her sapphire eyes shimmered with a quiet confidence, and her movement was graceful, as through choreographed by fate itself.

Ren thought on himself. "She is more beautiful in person."

Her gaze suddenly shifted upward, her eyes locking onto his through the classroom window. The unexpected contact froze Ren in place. She stared at him for a movement, her expression unreadable, before turning away and go to another direction.

Ren's heart raced. He glanced around, hoping no one noticed his awkwardness, then muttered to himself, "I really need to stop staring at girls like this…" he lightly slapped his own cheek, and trying to focus as the class resumed.

Remanning school passed uneventfully, and the final bell rang, signalling the end of classes. Ren packed his bag, ready to leave, when a familiar voice called out to him.

"Ren-Kin, are you ready?"

He turned to see Isumi Hyoudou, her face glowing with a sweet smile. Her presence was like a ray of sunshine, and her cheerful demeanour increase her charm only.

"Ready for what?" Ren asked, genuinely confused.

Isumi smile faded for a moment, replaced by an exaggerated pout. "Don't tell me you forgot! You promised to hang out with me today!"

The realization hit Ren like a bolt of lightning. He had indeed agreed to spend some time with her, but the day's chaotic event had completely driven it from his mind.

'I am sorry, Isumi!' he said, bowing slightly in embarrassment. "I didn't mean to forget, let's go!"

Her pout quickly turned into very beautiful smile. "Ok, I forgive you but don't forget next time if you promise."

He nodded his head. Then, she said "Let's go."

After both exited school gate together, Ren and Isumi fell into easy conversation. She teased him about his absent- mindedness, and he replied with sheepish apologizes. Their banter become more relaxed and friendly, and Ren found himself enjoying her company.

As they strolled along the street, Ren and Isumi stopped by small café, and they grabbed coffee and snacks. The atmosphere between them become more friendly and Ren starting know her better. And when she asked him anything, he give replied with occasionally awkwardness laughter, grateful for her warm energy.

Just as they were about to head home, a charming boy appeared in both walk of sight.

He had a jet- black hair and deep black eyes that seemed to darted on both. His attire was classic Kokoro academy uniform, white shirt and black pant with blazer. There is shy and hesitate aura about him as he approached them.

Both Ren and Isumi slowed their pace, sensing something unusual about the boy.

"Excuse me," his voice full of nervousness and hesitation. He looks toward Isumi. 'My Name is So- Hua.'

Isumi blinked don't understand who is this boy! Why he come to her! And why he introduces himself to her! But she replies as usual. "Hello, So- Hua, I am Isumi Hyoudou"

So- Hua said "I know your name. I want to say something to you..."

He said and looked toward Ren, after staring him for few seconds he returned his gaze toward Isumi. But other- side Isumi is confuse. But before she asked anything. So- Hua continue her word. "Isumi…" he stammered, avoiding his gaze. "Please… Go out with me."

The word struck Isumi like a thunderbolt. And Ren who stand beside him also surprised by this strange boy confession.

Isumi face turned red in embarrassment when she heard his confession, she said in trembling voice. "W-What are you talking. And I don't even know you. So, how I go out with you."

When so- Hua heard what Isumi said, her expression become sad and he said, "Isumi, my father is government employee and he take transfer to America. So, I leave the Japan. I really like you for while time. But I have no courage to talk to you about my feeling but when I think I already leave Japan and school and I never see you again. So, I come to confess about my feeling. Please… go out with me for one day."

Isumi confused and hard to find a word to reply him, she looks toward Ren for help, but he also looks toward Isumi, like he is waiting for her answer. But in the mind, he chats with system.

[Host, I feel something very unusual about this boy.]

He shocked but don't express his expression on face and asked, "What is it unusual about him?"

[Host, I don't pin- point currently because system level is very low but I confirm one thing is anything is good but this boy.]

Ren asked system "What I do? Can I ask Isumi to turn him down or something."

[Host, don't do anything just wait and watch and keep your eyes on this boy.]

When he chats with system, Isumi make her mind look toward So-Hua and said, "Ok, I go out with you… but only for one day."

He became too happy with smile he replies "It's enough for me, can we meet tomorrow in this park for Date."

She nodded her head in agreement, after he said he turned around and leave Isumi and Ren both alone. But he completely ignores Ren presence, what annoy Ren to much but he not said anything.

After he left, Isumi turn toward Ren said, "let's go."

He nodded both starts walking. But between both previous cheerful atmosphere is lost and both walk side by side in silence. After reaching a crossroad, Isumi turned toward him said my home is this way, Ren looked her and said with little surprisal look my home also this way.

Isumi look him little but with light smile she said "Ok, then let go."

After both walked for minutes, both stop Isumi turn and pointed toward a two- floor house small house, she said this is my house. When she said Ren become completely surprised when she looks his expression, she asked him what happen he replied and to pointing next house of Isumi house said, "this is mine." And this time, Isumi become surprised but after little she laughed and said "I can't believe we've been neighbours this whole time!" she exclaimed, laughing in disbelief.

Ren scratched the back of his head, feeling equally stunned. "Yeah… I had no idea either."

"Well, this makes things more convenient," Isumi said with groin. "We are friends now, we also neighbours. So, Let's go to school together from Monday!"

Ren smile awkwardly. "Sure, that sound good."

As Isumi walked toward her door, she paused to look back to Ren and greet him and turned to enter her house. But he heard his voice.

"All the best for you date tomorrow," he said with smile that didn't quiet reach his eyes. She just simply nodded and enter her home.

Ren stood there, look evening sky and muttered on himself, "What a day…" before entering his own house.

The whirlwind of events had left him physically and mentally drained, yet, as he after dinner with his mom and aunt and little chat, he left for his room.

He prepared for bed, his thought lingered on the student council president and her her secretary, two teacher he meets in garden and crimson beauty, last but not least strange boy SO-Hua. And Isumi Hyoudou.

Little did he know, his life was about to take a turn that would change everything.
