Falling Into the Bottom of Your Life, Isn't There Another Sweet Thing Waiting?
01: Changes in Inner Atmosphere Part I
You could say this starts from the beginning, the number 0 as the beginning and suffering (?)
I didn't want to think of anything that I would worry about going forward, so I'm acting normal from today on.
Wearing a uniform with my usual expression, going to school as usual, and talking to anyone as usual. Like nothing happened before.
Mom told me that later when I came home I would be escorted to a place where I would be introduced by someone I didn't know.
Surprisingly, I wasn't worried at all and agreed to it for no reason. Even the mother who looked worried, I said everything would be fine.
"What about the parfait at the new cafe next to the station after?"
Yukishiro Misa who was none other than my very carefree friend in front of me asked about the plan after school.
"Sorry, sorry, Misa. Not for today, maybe another time."
"Eeeeeehhh...... Wh why? What is possible -"
"Yes, one of the reasons is indeed related to that, can you assume that what I will do later is self-medication or some kind of inner rest?"
"You know what else, I'm more concerned with your health. I don't want to see the same bad thing twice either."
Although Misa looked disappointed she understood enough from my explanation to reject her invitation. I'm so grateful to him.
"By the way.... You're at home with that long hair after what happened yesterday."
"Kufeng.... I don't want to look bad in someone's new life, I'm sure you understand."
......---......
A luxury car had stopped in the south direction of the school, the invitation was for him. An aged man in a neat suit bowed in front of me while putting his right hand on his left chest.
"Sorry, is it true that you are Miss Aomori Hatsune? Princess Master Aomori?"
I bowed a little then waved my palm lightly and confirmed what he said.
"I'm Kato, the personal driver assigned to pick you up. Please come in, miss."
Why is he so formal and what the hell with this fancy car?
Since then he had refrained from asking this puzzling and shocking situation in a calm manner.
The journey felt long because there was no conversation to reach the destination.
The house is amazingly magnificent like a palace surrounded by a beautiful flower garden and high as in the maze of princesses. I was gobsmacked by the sight and subconsciously let out a voice that made Kato-san giggle small.
When I got out of the car, two servants, as soon as I saw them in their uniforms, greeted me to let me in.
A middle-aged man roughly the same age as his own father walked up to him with a radiant face. I knew him only by name, as I had just met him I bowed a little to say hello before asking.
"Yes.. Are you Mr Tokasaki? Nice to meet you?"
"There's no need to be so formal, huhahahah you make it sound like you doubt me. Yes, I'm a friend of your father's, Tokasaki Hanao, come on in."
Not only from the outside it looks magnificent, the inside is no less premium than the outside. Western-style interior combined with other luxurious settings as decoration is enough to make me stay in the corner of the door.
I was ushered into a room to greet guests where there was a woman not much different from Mr. Tokasaki, she smiled as she placed the thick documents on the guest table.
"Oh, is it coming? Are there any difficulties you face on the road, Hatsune-chan?"
"Ethto..."
"Yuyuka, he looks confused by your complicated sentence. I'm sorry my wife, she's a diplomat, so the words are convoluted."
Like her husband, I also saluted him with respect to the person I had just met.
"Sobviously, you really are Rintaro-kun's daughter, she is very lucky to have you. Hello, I'm Tokasaki Yuyuka, just call me mother like you did Wa-chan."
Is he really a diploma?
While we exchanged greetings and jokes, Yuyuka-san asked me to sit down. Rintaro is my father and Wa-chan is my mother's abbreviated name of Wakaba, so I'm sure they're both very close to my parents.
Hanao-san asked one of the servants something that made her rush away.
"Hey, Hatsune-chan.. Did you really change your mind and decide to stay here? I'm so happy, you know!"
HA, what? Staying? Who changed their mind?
"Ahh"
"Why are you dragging me home, huh??! I told you I didn't approve, didn't I!"
A loud noise rang out behind the large open door partially connecting the living room with the corridor.
Yuyuka-san in front of me smiled widely upon hearing that. This is where I just realized Hanao-san is not with us.
Not long after that a man wearing a uniform from the school that I did not know was standing at the door with Hanao-san. Two people whose faces contradict each other's expressions.
He was handsome and tall, his face was very similar when the two of them were standing in line.
"Yuzui, welcome back."
