The next morning.
Zen has finished his morning bath and breakfast; he now ready to go to school once again. It will continue to be repeated continuously by him, at least until three years ahead.
"This morning is nice. The morning air also feels lighter and more comfortable than the day before."
Zen, who had been outside the door of his house, breathed while stretching his body, which was quite stiff.
For some reason, he thinks today is a good day for him. Sleep well, good breakfast, and he got what he wanted this morning.
The next thing he has to do comes to school, hand over the paper check to the real owner, go to work, and after that, his life will return to peaceful again. (Maybe~)
"Hopefully..."
Zen muttered when he saw the paper check he was holding on his hand, after which he pocketed the check into his pants pocket.
Zen began walking towards his school because the distance between his house and the school was quite far. Zen must get up early and go to school before 7 am.
Zen does not want to take risks, and also does not have the habit of arriving late. The reason he is well off in any case (Before he returns to the past), is nothing but because of nature, he has — hard worker and also not lazy.
Speak about arriving late. Zen found out that he was attending a school that had previously dedicated to women, and the school had taken steps to recruit a male student.
It is contrary to what Zen thought on the first day he entered his school.
Zen thinks that some of the male students are late, but he is wrong. Zen was the only male student in the school, which is why he did not see any other male students.
Was Zen surprised by that? Of course, this is the first time he is attending the school that does not have other male students, except himself.
But other than that, nothing special happened to Zen.
--------------------------------------------------
A few minutes had passed, Zen, who walked from his house, almost arrived at the place he headed.
The big school building and also a school gate began to appear. Zen continued to walk to the entrance of the school.
"Good morning, sir."
Greet Zen to the gate guard. Zen handed some snacks to him. This snack gave as a token of thanks for the kindness of the gate guard.
"Thank you, please come in, have a nice day!"
The gate guard replied with a smile. He waved his hand to Zen, who had already entered the schoolyard.
"No problem."
Zen replied with a polite nod to the gate guard.
Zen saw that only a few female students were in the current schoolyard; this is normal because Zen arrived at the school early.
However, the first lesson starts at eight o'clock in the morning, and Zen has arrived a half-hour earlier.
After looking at the schoolyard for a while, Zen continues his steps again and walks into his classroom. But at that time.
"Hey! Zen, wait!~"
A voice starts to calling Zen from behind his back. The view of the running person was getting closer and closer.
"Oh, it's you? Do you feel better?"
Zen turned back. He saw the short blonde girl he had helped to the school health room yesterday.
The girl ran a little in a hurry. She looked at the man in front of her while smiling. Her slightly heavy breath began to return to normal gradually. The girl said.
"Hello, good morning Zen~."
Daldal, who was right in front of Zen, greeted him while putting on a silly smile.
"And yeah, I got better this day. I-If you want, you can c-carry me like yesterday, hehe~."
With a slight looking down and a red hue between his cheeks, Daldal said to Zen with a slight stutter. Her fingers taped each other many times when her right foot also did the same thing many times smoothly on the ground.
"Hahaha, that's good then. Next time don't force yourself again, and a girl is not good to push herself too much."
Zen replied to the girl's words with a sincere laugh,
Zen, who saw the girl's funny behavior, could only shake his head. He feels comforted.
"Also, good morning."
Zen said once again to the girl.
"Hehe~ I won't force myself next time. And thank you for helping me yesterday."
Still, with her silly smile, Daldal thanked Zen (Even though her actions yesterday is a lie).
"By the way, why you came very early on this day. Why?"
Daldal asked as she looked at Zen.
"Yesterday I also came at the same time as this day. And I don't want to be late for school. I little bit afraid if my student's fees will eliminate."
Said Zen, and he began laughing himself. His gaze a little bit down because the girl in front of him was shorter than himself.
"Very strange, yesterday why didn't I see you at the same time as now?"
Daldal murmured in a low voice that could only be heard by herself. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as her facial expression seemed to think.
"What did you say before?"
Zen, who felt he heard something, asked the girl in front of him.
"Oh, nothing, its nothing, hehe~."
Daldal immediately changed her thinking expression. She quickly answered Zen with her hand waving several times.
Zen only can say 'Oh...' to the girl named Daldal in front of him.
Their conversation lasted for several minutes. Daldal asked Zen a lot of questions with a cheerful tone and a smile on each of her words.
Zen, who saw this, could only answer Daldal questions one by one patiently.
In the end, Daldal applies, and she becomes a guider for Zen to get around all the essential places in the school. Because at that time, Zen said that he only knew a few places as far. So this is a significant opportunity for Daldal to foster closeness between herself and Zen.
Zen, who heard that immediately agreed. Because, why not?
Decisions have made; they both will start right at the first school break.
Daldal was very happy about that. Daldal had to leave immediately because this morning she had club activities that she had to attend. Finally, the two of them parted ways and waving his and her hand to each other.
First break time is the most eagerly awaited time for Daldal. As for Zen, he will only wait patiently for what he will do with Daldal.
I want to rest today, my both body and soul also say 'yes'... But my heart said no. T-T
Here, take this chapter as a bonus chapter. Maybe bad, because I got stuck three times while writing this chapter.
Enjoy :)
