Weird Girl Visits

.

It was Kazuya's turn to be taken aback the next day. He woke up later than usual because his training lasted longer now that he had gotten a feel for his new body. What awaited him was Kyouko and Mei both holding a list of different types of computers, debating which he would prefer.

"(These two… no wonder there was so much work piled up)" Kazuya sighed.

"Good morning Kazuya Did you sleep well?"

"I did. Good morning Mom and Big Sis Mei"

"Mornin Kazu! I want to thank you for getting a lot of work done. Your mother here would have taken forever to finish even half of it. This makes my life a lot easier so we decided to give you a reward"

"She's right Kazuya. Thank you for helping me with my work. I was surprised that you were able to flawlessly do it. You even give us some useful suggestions. Mom is very proud of you and as a reward, we want to get you your very own computer"

"Whoa, really?" Kazuya was immediately excited. The only computer he used to own was an old model that could barely run the modern games while he was in middle school.

The two were elated after seeing his reaction and immediately showed him various types that they picked out. Their choices caused his face to darken. They chose based on the outward appearance and cared nothing about the specifications. Even their lists barely included the most important information needed when buying one.

"You can pick whichever you like Kazuya"

"Come look at the ones big sis picked out for you"

Kyouko's choices were simple and colorful while Mei's definitely showed that she was thinking what he or boys would like else, she would have the list down to the specifications.

"Umm… where did you choose these computers from?"

The two handed him a catalogue. He browsed through them and easily made a choice. He hesitated at first because in his previous life, he would have only gotten this type of device after saving for it for a few months. Now he was going to get one just by asking for it. This felt very awkward for him so he just pointed at the one he preferred expecting to be declined.

"Alright, this one then. I'll have it delivered today"

"(Seriously? That easy?)" he thought to himself as he watched his mother excitedly make phone calls to have his choice delivered. "Thank you mom. Thank you big sis" he gave them both a hug to express his gratitude. The two ladies smiled at each other after seeing that they made the right choice but their harmonious environment was soon going to end.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Come in" said Mei but regretted it as soon as she saw the appearance of the visitor at the door.

"Pardon my intrusion" A cute blonde haired little girl entered the room.

Mei wasted no time and protectively put Kazuya on her lap. She made sure to hold him tightly to portray ownership. Kyouko on the other hand finished her phone call immediately and welcomed the girl.

"Hello! Are you the little girl we heard about a few days ago? I'm Kazuya's mother" Kyouko greeted the little visitor with a smile.

"Yes! I'm Stockton Kurumi, Kazuya-kun's classmate. Pleased to meet you aunty!" she politely bowed. She turned her head towards Kazuya who sat quietly on Mei's lap. Mei hadn't moved and silently observed the unknown girl.

"(This is without a doubt that crazy girl)" he thought while snuggling up to Mei as if it was normal for him to do so. He could recognize that signature hair color of hers anywhere.

"Kazuya aren't you going to say hello to your friend?" Kyouko turned towards her son trying to prompt him to greet the little girl.

"Kazuya-kun, are you feeling any better? I brought the homework you've missed while you were gone" She glanced at Mei who was in bliss because of Kazuya's new action towards her.

"What a thoughtful friend. My Kazuya is lucky to have such a cute and caring friend" Kyouko's compliments made the little girl blush. Kurumi secretly glanced towards Kazuya but was startled when she found that the two had been ignoring her.

"Umm… Kazuya-kun this lady is?" she ask curiously.

"My wife" Even Mei herself was shocked at his unexpected answer. It only lasted for a moment as Mei extruded a beaming blissful pink aura.

""Wife!?"" Kyouko and Kurumi's mouths gaped open.

"That's right little girl. I'm Kazu's wife. I thank you on behalf of my husband for bringing his homework. Please inform the girls in your class that my husband is already married so they should stay away from him"

"Y-you're acting weird Kazuya-kun" Kurumi ignored Mei getting carried away and looked at him with teary eyes.

"I don't think so. Rather, I feel clearer than ever before" he replied with a straight face. This time he was looking her directly in the eye.

"You're not acting like yourself. Is your sickness really serious?"

"I could go back to school any time" He dismissed her concerns mercilessly. "Is there anything else that you need?" Kazuya really wasn't interested having any more connections to this girl.

"Kazuya-kun… you're acting very weird. D-do you need more medicine? I can ask my daddy to buy medicine" she tried to keep it in but her tears started falling.

"I don't need any medicine. Thank you for coming all this way. If there is nothing else then please leave" he turned away from her and played with Mei's long silky hair instead.

"Kazuya!" Kyouko scolded. Even Mei was taken aback at his cold treatment towards this girl.

"Mom. Do I need to say that fragments of my memories are telling me that I should be afraid of this person?"

Kyouko was reluctant but she understood what he meant. This girl had a sensitive background so Kyouko escorted her out before Mei could scare her with her sudden change in attitude after hearing what her son had just said.

Kurumi, who was still confused could only be led outside as she sobbed. Kyouko felt sorry for her and explained her son's current circumstances as best as she could. Her son may have been mistaken and this girl clearly cared for him so she could only hope that she would understand and forgive him.

"I apologize again for Kazuya's behavior Kurumi-chan" she comforted the little girl.

"It's okay aunty. I understand why Kazuya-kun was being strange now. I'm okay now so you can go back"

"Alright then. It was nice meeting you Kurumi-chan and thank you for taking care of Kazuya at school"

"It was nice to meet you too aunty. Kazuya-kun is a good person so it's only natural for me to be friends with him"

Kyouko smiled and went back to the room. Mei's coldness loosened up and went back into spoiling the boy in her arms before he was taken away by his mother.

"Kazuya did you recover any memories of Kurumi-chan?"

"No" Kazuya was very sensitive to presences so he immediately knew that it was Kurumi's shadow he could see on the gap under the door. He chose his words carefully as he was aware of her eavesdropping.

"Then why did you say that you were afraid of her?"

"Instinct"

"Why would you treat her so badly because of that?"

"I lost my memories. Meeting people I used to know can be difficult. Remember Lee? My instinct told me that he was not like he appeared to be. It was also instinct that made me realize who you were when I first saw you mom"

"What about me, what about me Kazu?"

"Err… I remembered big sis Mei so I guess that it doesn't apply?"

"Eeeehhh! That's unfair? Big Sis wants to know what your instincts told you when you saw me again"

"A person who cares about me and I care about too I guess"

"See mother-in-law! His instincts have been 100% accurate!"

"Maybe… But since we're talking about intuition, mine says that she is a good girl. You should have thought so too, that's why you've been overdoing it this time right Mei?" Kyouko looked straight at Mei who avoided her gaze on purpose.

"(Women's intuition, truly is a frightening thing)" Kazuya thought.

"I don't want to interfere in whatever you want to do but as a mother, I should at least point out your mistakes and correct them. Don't be rude to the girl who had good intentions. Okay?"

"I'm sorry I can't promise that. I only have Lee as an example because I don't have memories of other people but he even fooled mom by only showing a fake side that seemed good. Some people may not take the hint when one isn't firm enough. I'm not interested in being her friend. I can ignore her but if she can't take a hint then I can only make her understand through actions." He confirmed that the shadow had disappeared before giving his response.

Kyouko was flabbergasted. She thought to herself if this was an argument a six-year-old could make. She shrugged her shoulders when she remembered what the doctors said when they examined him. Kyouko was at a loss because she couldn't live up to Kurumi's expectations and could only sigh.

"Fine… just don't make her hate you" she bargained.

"Are her origins that sensitive?"

"You can say that"

"Then can I transfer schools?"

"Do you have to go that far? You hate her that much?"

"I don't hate her, but I definitely don't like her. I would like to avoid trouble and since her identity is special then shouldn't it be better if I won't be able to offend her?"

Both women had to admit that he gave a convincing argument. Kyouko actually initially wanted him to go to a better school but was afraid that he would be pressured if the level had been too high. This was because he didn't have great results in academics.

"Okay. We'll look into a few schools and arrange your transfer"

Kyouko looked at her assistant who nodded before they busied themselves leaving Kazuya speechless. He wondered just how much work these two get done without being sidetracked like this again.

The following days, a strange chain of events happened. Various famous doctors visited the hospital Kazuya was in seemingly interested in his strange condition. They were led by the hospital director who enthusiastically told them about their findings. Kyouko of course didn't have any reason to refuse them because not only did they say that they only wanted to see him out of curiosity and there would be no need for extra fees.

All of the doctors wore stoic expressions at first but after conversing with Kazuya himself and seeing the seemingly normal results, they came to the same conclusions as the doctors of the hospital. It was only Kazuya who was irritated by the influx of strange visitors and the continuous tests. His time alone had been reduced a great deal.

It was when foreign neurologists arrived stating the same reasons that they felt something was extremely off. Kazuya's patience was about to run out as well. The trio had come to the same conclusion.

[This was the work of that 'annoying girl'/ 'Kurumi-chan'/ 'that thieving kitten]

"Mom. Can we go home now? The purpose of me staying here has lost its purpose. Even specialists from all over can't figure out what is or was wrong"

"Son do you know why they have been taking a look at you?"

"It should be because of that girl's identity, right?"

"Then shouldn't you…"

"I've made up my mind. You said so yourself, moving to Sacred Forest Academy will be better for my future as well"

Kazuya was asked to choose which school to go to and he picked a school he had been familiar with in his memories. This academy was where he attended middle school. He chose to transfer to another school after he graduated because he wanted to lessen any burdens on his guardian. The most important reason he chose this school was this was the closest area to where he had been summoned the first time.

"Be careful of the people there Kazu. That place and majority of the types of students that go there wouldn't have changed since I went there. big sis trusts you okay?"

This was a new discovery. Sacred Forest Academy is a well-known school and it's graduates eventually end up being sought after by various different companies and institutions. Mei had graduated from there, so she knew that there were all sorts of people going there and had her share of trouble in dealing with them.

"Are you sure you want to go there Kazuya? You've seen their curriculum and it looks pretty advanced"

"I still have the weekend to prepare myself before going there. I'll be studying the whole time so I don't foresee any problems"

"I bet you're excited to see your room. Don't you worry. Big sis here arranged everything for you"

"Mei you…"

"I just cleaned it up and re-arranged a few things. The doctors said that we have to be careful so I made sure to take precautions"

Kyouko could only sigh because she definitely didn't trust her assistant when it had to do anything with her son. One of the foreign doctor's theories mentioned made both of them a little worried. The female doctor was a psychologist and theorized that this may be a new personality that emerged for self-protection after learning that he might have suffered from Lee.

This of course was discussed in private so Kazuya was not privy to this. Kazuya could do nothing about what the two girls were thinking about. There was no sure way of telling if it was true or not since his supposed original personality had not manifested itself. It was still too early to tell and this was the reason for their anxiousness.

"Mom? Is something wrong?" Kazuya's voice snapped Kyouko out of her thoughts.

"Nothing's wrong. Mei's 'arrangements' just worries me"

"I'm sure big sis means well. I don't even remember my own room so I guess it won't matter to me whatever differences there might be"

"I guess you're right… Alright then, let's go home"
