Characters
Kamiyama High School - Class 1-A
*Students Chattering*
Mizuki
Mornin'♪ How's everybody doing?
Classmate A
Huh? Hey, Mizuki! Long time no see! But it's not morning. Class is already over. What are you doing here?
Classmate A: Huh? Hey, Mizuki! Long time no see! But it's not morning. Class is already over. What are you doing here?Mizuki
I was told to come take supplementary lessons because of my grades. It really stinks.
Classmate B
Haha. You're really good at studying though, so I'm sure you'll finish in no time. Well, have fun!
Mizuki
Thanks! What a pain...
Teacher
Just keep these two theorem in mind, and remember which one to apply based on what you're trying to find over here.
Mizuki
(Oh, now I get it. I just sort of got the answer without thinking, but that makes sense♪)
Student A
Is that the student you were talking about? This is my first time seeing them.
Student B
I've never seen them in person before either. If you didn't mention them I wouldn't have noticed.
Mizuki
(Do they think they're whispering? Because I can totally hear everything they're saying.)
Mizuki
(Whatever. It's not like this is the first time.)
Mizuki
Finally finished! I wonder if I should stop somewhere on the way home♪
2nd year student A's voice
Hey, that 1st year student was here today. Did you see?
2nd year student Bs voice
You mean the one you were talking about before? No! I wish I had!
2nd year student A's voice
You should. I'm telling you, you really can't tell. Super cute, too.
Mizuki
(Great. I really don't want to deal with this. But it'd be a pain to have to sit here until they leave, too.)
Mizuki
*Sigh*... I'm not on exhibition here.
Classmate A
Mizuki? You finished with your class?
Classmate B
We just finished with club activities. Want to head home together?
Mizuki
Oh, sure. Sounds good.
2nd year student A
Hey, speak of the devil! You're Mizuki, right?
Mizuki
Yes, that would be me. Is there something I can do for you?
2nd year student B
Oh, not really. I was just a little curious about why you dress the way you do.
Mizuki
Huh? I figured that would be obvious.
Mizuki
I dress this way because I like to. That's all.
Mizuki
Well, see you around♪
2nd year student A
Hey, wait!
Kamiyama Street Classmate A
Some people can be so rude, right?
Mizuki
Haha. I'm used to it. People like that are always saying things about stuff that doesn't concern them.
Classmate A
If anything like that happens again, let us know. The least we can do is listen.
Mizuki
Sure. Thanks.
Classmate B
Well, we're this way. See you later.
Mizuki
Later.
Mizuki
All right! Time to go do a little shopping to relax!
Shopping Mall Mizuki
(Oh, this place might have that eyeliner I couldn't find last time. I can check out what else they have, too.)
Classmate A
What do you think of this blush?
Classmate B
I like it. It doesn't have too much glitter either, so you could probably use it at school.
Mizuki
(Oh? They're both here shopping?)
Mizuki
Hey, you guys—
Classmate A
You know, if Mizuki doesn't like people pointing it out, then why not just dress normally for school?
Classmate B
I know, right? Of course people are going to say things when you stand out like that.
Classmate A
That's just the way Mizuki is, I guess.
Classmate B
Totally. Some people just don't know how to fit in.
Mizuki
.....
Mizuki
Oh... So that's how it is?
Mizuki
If that's what they really thought, then why bother talking to me as if they understood?
Mizuki
.....
Mizuki
It's so stupid...
Mizuki
All I want to do is be myself.
??
You all want to disappear more than anyone.
Mizuki
.....
Mizuki
Well...maybe she's right.
Mizuki
But...
[Amia]
<Yuki? You all right?>
[Yuki]
<Oh, yeah. I'm fine. That kind of stuff doesn't really bother me, I guess.>
Mizuki
Liar.
Mizuki
Yuki, it actually bothers you too, doesn't it?
