Next morning, Yui woke up early to prepare everything before dawn. This was her usual routine when she was in the military district, but when she looked at the clock, it was only around four in the morning.
"It seems like people here don't wake up this early, huh?" Yui wondered, but since she was already up, she couldn't go back to sleep, so she got out of bed.
After finishing her personal hygiene, Yui moved on to the tools she would need for the first day of school. Somehow, she had already gotten her uniform.
"What exactly did everyone bring to school?… Also, is this a uniform…? Students these days wear such short clothes… This isn't suitable for hiding weapons." Yui looked at the uniform and got a headache.
After a while of messing around, Yui changed into her uniform, which felt completely new compared to the full-body protective suits she had worn on missions. This light and airy feeling… Yui couldn't get used to it at all.
"It's still early, Kotsuki-san is still sleeping, after all, she was busy with me all day yesterday. I have to do something to repay her."
A moment later, when the sky was completely bright, Kotsuki still snored out.
"Good morning, Yui-chan," she said, her voice lazy, her eyes half-closed.
"Good morning, Kotsuki-san. I've already cooked breakfast, so go prepare it and we'll eat together," Yui replied, while she spoke, the delicious smell of food from the kitchen seemed to have woken Kotsuki up a bit.
"Oh, I didn't think Yui-chan could cook." Kotsuki walked closer, looking at the delicious and beautiful dishes being prepared, her stomach couldn't help but growl.
"Just a little skill I learned from the captain," Yui replied.
"Then I'll go get ready and come out right away," Kotsuki said, then ran off. She quickly cleaned herself up and went out to eat breakfast with Yui.
"It's so delicious, I didn't expect it to be this delicious." Kotsuki kept eating.
"Take it slow." Yui quickly poured a glass of water and gave it to Kotsuki.
"It's great, thank you very much." Kotsuki still didn't stop. "It's been a long time since I've had such a full meal."
"It's nothing."
"You also cleaned the house, right? Thank you very much."
"Yes."
"That's right, you're going to school today, right?"
"Yes"
"Then let me take you there"
"Yes"
"Hey Yui-chan, I told you before, but I have to remind you not to bring that blank face to school, and try to talk a little more when answering"
"Yes"
"Sigh, after just one night, you've returned to your original state" Kotsuki helplessly continued eating.
….
After finishing eating, Kotsuki quickly took the car to take Yui to her new school.
"I didn't expect you to go to this school too"
"Is there a problem?"
"Nothing, it's just that this is the top school in Tokyo, so you must be really good at studying"
"Top school…?" Yui stuttered slightly. "I don't remember being that good…. Ah!, he decided on his own again! What should I do? Will they kick me out on the first day because I'm too stupid?" Yui's face remained calm, but she was a little panicked inside.
"First of all, calm down! The captain knows my abilities well, so I think he's prepared," Yui said to herself.
"Then I'll go," Yui said goodbye.
"Good luck, oh yeah, my sister is also studying here, so if there's anything you don't understand, just look for her. It might not go smoothly, but I hope you'll forgive me."
"Yes," Yui nodded.
"Her name is Shinoma Kaguya, but don't say I told you."
"I'll remember that name."
"Kaguya is very kind, but she doesn't know how to be honest with her feelings, so if she does something too much, I hope you don't take it personally."
"Yes," Yui said goodbye to Kotsuki and went into the school.
Hawatabi High School was only established a few years after the war, but with the strong investment from the president of the Shinoma Group, the school's facilities were improved and ranked among the top in the city. In addition, the appearance of the famous Professor Fukazawa Yukichi as the principal attracted even more attention. All of that created such a magnificent scene.
"I didn't expect the captain to be able to sneak in here." Yui also couldn't believe that she would soon be studying at this luxurious school.
"Who did you say sneaked in?" Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out from behind her.
Yui calmly turned her head.
"Nothing, I was just saying something random."
"You don't look surprised by my appearance, do you?" Standing in front of Yui was a mature woman, with a gentle appearance and face. Looking at her style of dress, one could tell that she was a teacher here.
"Yes, I heard footsteps when you approached," Yui said, then felt that her words were not quite right. "Damn, wouldn't saying that make others feel suspicious?"
"Huh? You're a transfer student, right?"
"Yes."
"Follow me, I'll show you around."
"Yes." Yui quickly followed the woman to another office.
"Sit here for a moment, I'll go check the information"
"Yes"
A moment later the woman returned with some papers in her hand
"Etou, let me introduce myself, I'm Renzaki Vallis, the English teacher"
"Is she a foreigner? But she doesn't look like one" Yui wondered.
Unconsciously, Yui returned to her prey-watching mode, looking back and forth at Vallis. "What's the matter?" Vallis finally spoke up after being stared at for too long.
"Sorry for being rude. I'm Katsuya Yui, a new transfer student here"
"Um, I've looked through your profile, it's very special. The school has also notified you and it seems like I'll be your homeroom teacher"
"Yes, I'll be taking care of you in the future" Yui bowed her head and replied politely.
"Nothing, now get ready and go to class."
"Yes."
Yui followed Vallis to her classroom.
Class 2-A!
She entered first, using a few small actions to make the noisy class focus. "Alright class, quiet down! Today we have a new classmate. Remember to greet her properly!"
After Vallis's voice, Yui also entered the room.
"Hello everyone, I'm Katsuya Yui, nice to meet you."
"..."
"Why is everyone still looking at me? Was my introduction too short? But the captain said that just an introduction like that was enough…"
"Um, why don't you introduce yourself more? Like your hobbies?" Vallis turned to signal Yui.
"Um… I don't have a fixed hobby, it just depends on my mood."
The introduction was still too short!
Vallis shook her head and said, "Alright, I'll sit behind Shinoma-san."
"Yes."
Yui quickly walked back to her seat, and as she passed by Kaguya's desk, Yui could feel Kaguya's gaze staring at her in a… very unfriendly manner.
"Shinoma? She seems to be the younger sister that Kotsuki-san mentioned. But they don't look alike?" Yui recalled that in her impression, Kotsuki had the appearance of a mature woman, her dressing style was also extremely noble and elegant, and her way of speaking and behaving was gentle.
"But why does this brat… have such a domineering style…?"
Different from the other students who were wearing their coats to school, Kaguya used it to wrap around her waist, and had several earrings in her ears, and her makeup was more prominent than the other female students.
"Is this what it means to be the child of a major shareholder? It's hard to understand… but since Kotsuki-san has helped me so much, I'll pay attention to her a little bit."
The first class was math, followed by English, which was one of the few subjects Yui was good at because when she was a spy, she had to learn many different languages for her mission.
"It's easier than I thought? And it seems like it's almost lunchtime?"
The bell rang a few minutes later, confirming Yui's thoughts. At lunchtime, a few students came to talk to Yui, both male and female, seemingly attracted to her beauty.
"Hey Katsuya-san, where did you live before?"
"Eh?… Well… it's Ishikawa" Yui replied.
"Is it that far away? Then why did you come to Tokyo?"
"A few years ago, Ishikawa was affected by the war, so my family decided to move to Tokyo to take refuge with the help of some acquaintances."
"Really? How are things there now?" The other classmates expressed sympathy.
"They really believe it?" Yui blinked a few times. "I… don't know, it's been a while since I've watched the news."
The others continued to ask Yui about various things, and Yui just answered according to the script she had been told. After a while, they left as if they had gotten the information they wanted.
"Finally done!"
Yui leaned back in her chair, she felt that dealing with these students was more tiring than talking to the leaders.
"Maybe we should go have lunch." Yui touched her pocket and then discovered that it was empty. "Ah… I was in such a hurry this morning that I forgot to bring any money!"
Yui started thinking of a solution, and after a few minutes, she decided to hold it in. It wasn't like she had never fasted before, so she could still endure it for a while.
Because sitting around the cafe was boring, Yui started looking around for something, she saw other students doing various activities, some were chatting together, eating lunch together, but some were sleeping or playing with their phones.
"Phone!" Yui suddenly remembered this small square thing.
So she took out her phone.
"Luckily, Kotsuki-san helped me install some social media apps and created an account too. Before, when I had nothing to do, I could go to practice, but now I can't…" Yui let out a sigh. "This kind of daily life really has many limitations."
