Grim Reaper: "All right... where did you get this doll?"

Grim Reaper: "Enough, I'm not interested anymore; get out."

Man: "I-"

Grim Reaper: "..."

Grim Reaper: "Hey, I've been waiting for you to escape that doll on your own."

Ghost woman's mind: "It's him; I heard his voice when I was inside that doll."

Ghost woman: "Are you the grim reaper?"

Grim Reaper: "That's right!"

Ghost woman: "Are you the one who helped me escape out of that stamped doll?"

Grim Reaper:"Enough of the small talk."

Grim Reaper: "I should be able to reap your soul now."

Ghost woman: "Wait, why aren't you carrying a scythe with you?"

Grim Reaper: "I use my hands."

Ghost woman: "I thought grim reapers were supposed to carry one..."

Grim Reaper: "YOU'RE SO NOISY!"

Narrative: The ghost woman was stunned to see dark purple magic emanating from him as he raised her and said that he had captured her just like he had the evil spirit

Ghost woman: "W-WAIT... ah-I can't move... P-Please s-spare me..."

Grim Reaper: "Ah~, too bad... I don't do that."

Ghost woman: "IF!! IF you spare me, I will give you my entire soul!"

Grim Reaper: "Revenge? Interesting, alright, let's do it."

Narrative: After he dropped her on the ground, the woman silently groaned in pain as she crouched down and spoke in her head.

Ghost woman mind: "Could have been a little gentler!"

Grim reaper: "But this isn't an easy decision for you, you know? In exchange for giving in to your desires, your soul will vanish forever! Not even a trace on the entire

continent! However, if you insist on me reaping your soul right now, you can still go to the afterlife rather than having your soul washed away from the universe, so...

What choice will you take?"

Ghost woman: "I choose revenge."

Narrative: He smiled and said sinisterly.

Grim Reaper: "As you wish, Chunamiis Saeko correct?"

Author: This is what Chunamiis Saeko's look is like.

Narrative: The Saeko replied stuttering but confidently as he lifted his bangs, revealing an eye in his forehead.

Chunamiis Saeko: "H-Huh, yeah."

Narrative: As she stated this, the grim reaper approached Saeko. Looking down, she felt a touch on her right cheek. She looked up, shocked.

To see him stroking her right cheek, he came closer, opened his mouth, and kissed her at the lips. Saeko was shocked as the grim reaper opened his eyes and stared at her.

She pushed him and then growled.

Chunamiis Saeko: "What the hell are you doing?

Grim Reaper: "I'm putting together a contract."

Chunamiis Saeko: "What... Does making a contract have to be this way?"

Grim Reaper: "No, there are different options."

Chunamiis Saeko: "THEN WHY???"

Grim Reaper: "I just feel like it. Come."

Narrative: Saeko spoke angrily in her brain as he turned his back on her and started walking away.

Chunamiis Saeko: "F*cker sh*t."

Narrative: She began floating away in the direction of the man once she finished her thoughts. She grabbed the doll with her as she floated away. The setting is changed.

Saeko blinked her eyes as she watched people walking and chatting merrily in Japan. She then spoke in her head.

Chunamiis Saeko: "The outside world is incredibly lovely, and there are so many people that can have their own future, and I'm jealous."

Narrative: When she bumped into the grim reaper, she asked him while she was walking and considering the world.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Why did you stop?"

Grim Reaper: "Why don't you look up and see?"

Narrative: She asked in shock as she turned her head up and noticed a massive house.

Author: This is what the house is look like.

Chunamiis Saeko: "No way, Is this your house?"

Grim Reaper: "Oh yes, what's the big deal about seeing a grim reaper that also dwells in the human realm?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "It's just that I assumed grim reapers could only live in the underworld, but I guess I was mistaken."

Grim Reaper: "Of course, you're always wrong."

Narrative: Saeko was upset and started to spoke in her head as the grim reaper mockingly said that.

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "I truly want to strangle him, but I can't because if I make one mistake, he might decide not to help me, or worse, he might think twice about

taking my soul. This is really irritating."

Narrative: As the grim reaper got his keys and unlocked the door, Saeko looked around the house, and the grim reaper called her.

Author: This is what the house inside looks like.

Grim Reaper: "Hey, come with me."

Narrative: Saeko followed him without saying anything, and when they both came to a room where they halted, she began to think.

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "Is this his room, and if so, why did he ask me to accompany him? Does he have something to show me in his room?"

Narrative: She entered the grim reaper's room, which was large and had a large bed, but was a bit dark. As she looked around, she noticed something at the bed.

She looked at the bed more closely and was horrified to discover a body—but not just anybody—it was her body. She then asked the grim reaper who was standing in front of her

and was grinning at her.

Author: This is what his bedroom looks like.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Could this be my corpse?"

Grim Reaper: "Yep!"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Considering that it has been three years, shouldn't it already be rotten to the bone?"

Grim Reaper: "You're a curious one, eh?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Did you do this?"

Grim Reaper: "Yep, I did. Are you happy? Besides, even if you weren't happy, you wouldn't want to take revenge like this, would you?"

Chunamiis Saeko mind: "Well, that's quite obvious he did this."

Chunamiis Saeko: "How did you find my body?"

Grim Reaper: " Let's just say it ain't hard for grim reapers to find dead bodies. Okay, let's get to the point; in exchange, I'll assist you in placing your soul inside of

your body once more. After this whole revenge thingy, I'll have your soul completely, so what will it be?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Umm..."

Grim Reaper: "Oh my Devil, don't tell me this isn't still good enough?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "No, it's just that-"

Grim Reaper: "What possibly couldn't I do, mnhh?"

Narrative: Saeko sighed before speaking seriously.

Chunamiis Saeko: "You'll carry out my wishes, right?"

Grim Reaper: "What makes you think I'll break my word?"

Narrative: Saying that, he vanishes and reappears in front of Saeko, frightening her, and then speaks in a terrifying and chilly voice.

Grim Reaper: "Grim Reapers don't break their word, and while I'll always be there to lend a hand, know that in return, I'll take your soul."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Okay, let's do it."

Narrative: The grim reaper said nothing, but he grinned. Saeko felt a chill run down her spine, but she kept it to herself as she asked the grim reaper calmly.

Chunamiis Saeko: "So how do we-"

Narrative: She closed her lips in horror as she witnessed the grim reaper sever his own wrist with a knife before placing it above Saeko's lifeless body.

Saeko questioned him in a stunning voice as his blood dripped down to Saeko's lifeless mouth inside.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Why on earth did you do that?"

Narrative: She noticed the wound regenerating as she stated that, which surprised her. The grim reaper then spoke in a grave tone, but there was no sound of  of pain.

Grim Reaper: "You'll be gone once we've finished taking your revenge because you need my blood in order to return to your body. Your ready?"

Narrative: Saeko didn't say anything other than a nod as he began to cast spells, and as he did so, the room suddenly began to shine. She covered her eyes.

The grim reaper said to her.

Grim Reaper: "Keep your eyes closed."

Narrative: She closed her eyes as he said it, and as he continued to cast more spells, she started to feel as though something wasn't passing through them. Then she heard

the gloomy voice of the grim reaper saying to her.

Grim Reaper: "Open your eyes."

Narrative: She asked in a confused tone after opening her eyes and seeing the ceiling.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Why am I looking up? Am I lying down? I feel something soft on my body, yet I'm meant to be standing up and facing you in front of me, right?"

Grim Reaper: "I wonder why don't you raise your arms?"

Narrative: She raised her arms and, at first, was confused; but, when she turned to face the mirror and saw her own reflection, she was shocked.

As soon as she realized she was in the bed when she looked in the mirror, she immediately got out of it, started touching her body and hands, and the grim reaper began to

speak.

Grim Reaper: "I'm sorry to interrupt, but don't you have something on your mind?"

Narrative: Saeko looked at him right away, then spoke after clearing her throat.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Oh, yes, so, what's our next step to take now that I'm back at my body? "

Grim Reaper: "The next step is that both you and I will be attending school tomorrow."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Oh, okay. Wait WHAT!?"

Grim Reaper: "My ears are bleeding from your screaming, so stop."

Chunamiis Saeko: "But why?"

Grim Reaper: "Because we're bounded together."

Chunamiis Saeko: "'We're bounded together.' what does that mean?"

Grim Reaper: "Ha, since we made a contract together, we're not meant to be apart for more than 50 minutes, since I'm at school, and we're bonded together you go to school

with me, that way we won't be dragged together, and also your bullies are there too."

Narrative: She immediately turned to face the grim reaper who was grinning at her, after hearing that, and asked in a scary voice.

Chunamiis Saeko: "How do you know that?"

Grim Reaper: "Know what? Oh, you mean how did I found out that your bullies were the one who turned your life upside down? Well, lt ain't hard for grim reapers to know

their soul's life~. Any questions before we sleep for tomorrow?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "I have one more question."

Grim Reaper: "The last question? Oh, I wonder what question you're going to ask me?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Is this something you're allowed to do?"

Grim Reaper: "To do what?"

Narrative: Saeko spoke as the grim reaper raised his eyebrow.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Is that allowed for a grim reaper to return my soul to my body?"

Narrative: The grim reaper stared at her not long till his eyes glowed red then he spoke in a scary voice.

Grim Reaper: "No, but isn't it fascinating?"

Narrative: Saeko gave the grim reaper a long, silent look before speaking in her mind.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Hmm it is clear that I shouldn't completely trust this sly grim reaper."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Okay, I'll go to school with you."

Grim Reaper: "Okay, I'll simply show you where you'll be staying for a while. I've already packed your uniform and school supplies for tomorrow."

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "How did he prepared it so fast oh right he's a grim reaper of course he might have used his magic."

Narrative: The grim reaper and Saeko walked till they arrive to a room then the grim reaper spoke.

Grim Reaper: "The room is here, so get up early because we're leaving at 6:00AM sharp."

Narrative: Saeko didn't say anything but nodded as she opened the door to reveal a large room with a medium-sized bed. She entered, shut the door, laid down on the bed,

and then began speaking in her mind.

Author: This is what Saeko's bedroom looks like.

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "I can't believe I'm back in my body and attending school with the Grim Reaper, but I'm looking forward to seeing you guys again. After all, I'm

back and I'm going to make your life a living hell."

Narrative: When Saeko closed her eyes and dozed off, she spoke to herself in her mind when she woke up and turned to face the clock, which read 5:00 in the morning.

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "Hmm, I should probably go back to sleep. Oh, wait, I forgot I was supposed to wake up early so I can leave at 6:00 with the grim reaper."

Narrative: Having said that, she got out of bed, stood up, and went to the bathroom to have a shower after taking a bath for 20 minutes.

After wearing the uniform for 20 minutes and finding it ironed, she went downstairs to eat breakfast and then spoke in her mind.

Grim Reaper: "Oh I didn't know you were here already."

Narrative: She gasped when she first heard his voice, not realizing he was standing behind her. She then turned around to see him eating, and he talked afterward finishing his food.

Grim Reaper: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you~."

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "As if you didn't mean to bastard!"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Ah well, did you cook this?"

Grim Reaper: "Well, yes, I did."

Narrative: Saeko didn't speak, simply took a bite and immediately finished the entire bowl of food in under five minutes, then the grim reaper spoke.

Grim Reaper: "We're heading to school now, so put on your school shoes. And I didn't realize you like my food so much~."

Narrative: Saeko quickly turned around to grab her school shoes, then said to the grim reaper while putting them on.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Tsk! I ate it in under five minutes because, well, I was hungry, okay?"

school with him, she lets out a sigh as she had been thinking in her mind.

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "I'm very glad to be alive again; previously, my body temperature was cold; today, it's warm. I hope it would stay this way forever, but some

people don't. But I have to make their life worse than hell because sometimes wonderful things have to come to an end, therefore, I best enjoy my last days as much as I can."

Narrative: She was pulled by the grim reaper when she was walking, so she asked him in a confused and furious voice.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Why did you pull me, what's wrong with you?"

Grim Reaper: "You were on the point of crashing into the light pole, idiot."

Narrative: As soon as she heard that, she turned behind her and noticed that the direction she was previously walking was a light pole. She was shocked to realize that if

the grim reaper hadn't noticed her, she would have slammed directly into the light pole as the grim reaper continued to speak while walking.

Grim Reaper: "You were probably thinking something ridiculous because you were to focus."

Narrative: When she heard that, her blood boiling, and she wanted to strike him in the face for insulting and ridiculing her, but she had to keep her calm because

people were passing by. After ten minutes of walking, the grim reaper halted and crossed in front of her before speaking to her.

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "Wow, this school is massive, and the uniform I'm wearing is rather cute and cool; wait sh*t!"

Author: This is what the school uniform and school building looks like.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Wait!"

Grim Reaper: "What now? You're always questioning me."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Did you say yesterday that my bullies also attend this school?"

Grim Reaper: "Yep! Why do you ask?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "It's just that I'm always their favorite person to bully, and even if it was three years ago, they would still identify and remember me, which is an

issue because if they still do, how would I take my revenge?"

Grim Reaper: "Oh, it wouldn't be an issue, you know, because I have magic~."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Wait, you're a grim reaper, so of course you have magi-"

Narrative: As she was about to finish her sentence, the grim reaper covered her mouth, leaving her confused and enraged because he had covered her mouth

before finishing her sentence, which the grim reaper dragged her out of there, which confused the students, and just turned back to enter the school gate,

He took her to an alleyway, where he let go of her arm and mouth then she yelled at him.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Why did you do that? You covered my mouth first, then grabbed my arm and took me to an alleyway! I demand to know why right now!"

Narrative: There was silence between them until Saeko noticed his expression, which was dark and ominous, and she swore she saw his eyes glow before he said in scary voice.

Grim Reaper: "The first reason is that you were going to reveal my identity, even if others thought you were insane, but there are some people who may be other people like

vampires and etc. Second, I took you out to the alleyway because I planned to use my power to disguise you; does that satisfy you now?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "You should've informed me about other creatures besides you..."

Grim Reaper: "Oh don't tell me you feel bad do you~?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "As if! And you were talking about disguising me as someone individual so you'll disguise me, right?"

Grim Reaper: "I won't do it till you apologize."

Chunamiis Saeko: "WHAT? I'm not going to apologize!"

Grim Reaper: "Oh really, I won't do it; all you have to do is say 'I'm sorry.'"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Ugh! Fine fine, I'm sooorrrry, there I said it, Mr. Grim, would you help me now?"

Grim Reaper: "Akira."

Chunamiis Saeko: "What?"

Grim Reaper: "Ha.... My name is Kuragari Akira, but you may call me Akira because we attend the same school and have the same class."

Author: This is what Kuragari Akira look is like.

Chunamiis Saeko: "OK, Mr. Kuragari."

Kuragari Akira: "Hmm, I notice you're not using my first name, but that's fine because we're not that close, right?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Of course, you are correct; we are not that close."

Kuragari Akira: "Now let's get started."

Narrative: As he began to chant spells, her entire body began to shine, from her toes to her hair. Her transformation changed as she looked down at the ground and noticed a

puddle of water. As she glanced at her reflection on the ground, she was startled to see her face, eyes, body, and voice change. She gasped before Akira spoke to her.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Amamiya Nagi will be my new name."

Author: This is what her new look is like.

Kuragari Akira: "..."

Chunamiis Saeko: "What a terrible name?"

Kuragari Akira: "No, it's alright, let's go."

Narrative: As he finished his sentence, he gestured for Saeko to grab his hand, which shocked her, so she did then she thought in her mind.

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "Hmm, what's up with this? First he said we weren't that close, and now he's letting me hold his hand. Maybe this is the first step toward getting

along."

Narrative: Akira began to mumble, which she heard but couldn't make out the words, so she asked him.

Chunamiis Saeko: "What are you mumbl-"

Narrative: As she was going to ask him, the two of them vanished into thin air and were teleported to an empty classroom. As Saeko let go of his hand, she looked around

the room, and Akira spoke.

Kuragari Akira: "We're in the Chemistry classroom; let's get to our classroom before our teacher arrives."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Okay."

Amamiya Nagi (Chunamiis Saeko): "Okay, Professor, my name is Amamiya Nagi, and I'm 19 years old."

Professor: "All right, Nagi, you can sit next to Akira."

Amamiya Nagi ( Chunamiis Saeko's) mind: "WHY do I have to sit next to him???"

Narrative: Saeko felt the stares of people as she approached her seat and sat next to Akira. As the professor began the lesson, Akira grinned.

There, she noticed two particular female students and glared at them. He noticed her glare and approached her, whispering in her ear.

Kuragari Akira: "Now's not the time."

Narrative: Saeko said nothing and went to the cafeteria line, where she stood waiting for the student's order to be completed. She was enraged because the two girls she

saw were her bullies and wanted to murder them, but she knew what Akira said was right, and just then she heard the cashier speak to her.

Cashier: "Um, lady, what is your order?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Please accept my apologies, Ma'am. I'd like to order 1 strawberry daifuku and 1 iced lemon tea."

Cashier: "It's fine lady and that'd be 650 yen."

Chunamiis Saeko: "All right, just a minut-."

Narrative: She paused, her expression turned to melancholy, but she didn't show it outside, as she thought in her mind.

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "Arghh crap! You jerk! You didn't even give me money, so how am I supposed to pay? Arghhh!"

Narrative: The cashier asked as Saeko lowered her head.

Cashier: "Lady, is everything okay? Look, I'm not trying to be rude, but you better pay up since there are still students in line."

Narrative: When Saeko turned around, she noticed students staring at her and whispering to one another then Saeko heard two girls whispering saying.

Student girl number 1: "Isn't she the new student?"

Student girl number 2: "Yeah, she's the **** who sat next to Akira."

Student girl number 1: "How shameless, and it appears she was using Akira since she doesn't have any money; without Akira, she's nothing more than a goldigger."

Narrative: She felt as if she was suffocating in her body and couldn't breathe as she heard more and more of their muttering and felt people's eyes on her, just then she

felt someone's arm wrapped around her shoulder as she looked up she was shocked to see Akira beside her then he spoke in a serious voice.

Kuragari Akira: "I'm sorry about my friend; she's a new student who unintentionally forgot her money at home; I'll pay for her order instead. How much is it?"

Cashier: "650 yen, sir."

Narrative: He was going to hand the cashier his money when he felt a touch on his shoulder. He looked at his shoulder and noticed

Saeko, but this time she appeared afraid, and she spoke in a quiet, calm voice.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Don't..."

Kuragari Akira: "What?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "If you pay it, I'll involve you in the mess I made."

Narrative: He was shocked when he first heard that, then he laughed and responded in a sarcastic manner.

Kuragari Akira: "Oh, haven't I already gotten myself into your mess?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Huh?"

Kuragari Akira: "Well, since I'm already here, I can't leave, and I'm going to pay it whether you like it or not."

Chunamiis Saeko: "..."

Kuragari Akira's mind: "That's what I thought."

Narrative: Saeko let go of his shoulder,he paid the cashier, and then walked away while holding Saeko's hand with his left hand and holding the food in his right.

Kuragari Akira: "Hey there's no on-"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Why did you protect me?"

Kuragari Akira: "What?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "I'm asking you, 'Why did you protect me?'"

Kuragari Akira: "..."

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: Why won't he answer back? Ah, I forgot he protected me because we made a contract, and I'm nothing more than a toy for his satisfaction.

Kuragari Akira: "Anything that you're thinking right now is correct."

Narrative: When he continued to speak, Saeko was startled and wondered if he was just playing a joke on her. But, she knows that he never plays a joke.

Kuragari Akira: "I just protected you because we made a contract, which means that we're connected together, so if anything happens to you, I'll feel it, and besides

you're nothing but a toy to play with for my satisfaction, and I'll absolutely enjoy every moment exorcising your soul after we're done dealing your revenge, so you better

finish your food, that way I'll give you a tour."

Narrative: While Akira was finishing up, he turned to face Saeko and noticed that she had lowered her head. Which he thought in his mind.

Kuragari Akira's mind: "Is she crying?"

Narrative: Saeko glanced at Akira with a sorrowful but calm expression on her face and spoke in a calm voice that surprised Akira.

Chunamiis Saeko: "You're right, I'm nothing more than a toy for your needs."

Narrative: As she said that, she smiled calmly at him, which surprised him more than he planned, then he spoke in a serious voice.

Kuragari Akira: "Whatever you want to eat, just eat it since I paid for it, so you could be energized, and don't worry, from now on I'll give you money, so hurry up

before I change my mind about  showing you around the school."

Narrative: Claiming that he left her alone on the rooftop before leaving, he gave her the food she had ordered and left, closing the door behind him. She looked at the

food in her hand then sat down on the floor and opened the box of strawberry daifuku and noticed 6 strawberry daifuku mochi looking so wonderful and sweet she took one

strawberry daifuku mochi then took a bite her eyes sparkled as she started to eat then she thought in her mind.

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "Mhmm, when was the last time I ate delicious food? Mmm, even though I knew I was nothing more than a toy for his desires, I kept my cool because

I need him. After all, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for him, and Mr. Kuragari is waiting for me better finish eating fast."

Narrative: Once she finished the six strawberry daifuku in 10 minutes, she grabbed the plastic cup of iced lemon tea and took a sip before standing up and walking towards

the exit. When she opened the door, she saw Akira with his back to the wall, as if he was waiting for her then he spoke.

Kuragari Akira: "It appears you enjoyed and finished the strawberry daifuku box; let's go now."

Narrative: Saeko said nothing but agreed, and the two of them began to walk down the stairs and into the corridor, where she spotted a few students and froze. Akira, who

was walking side by side, noticed this and moved closer to her ear, then whispered.

Kuragari Akira: "Don't be frightened; instead of chasing your fear, let your fear chase you, do you get it?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Oh, I think I understand."

Kuragari Akira: "I had a feeling you'd understand."

Narrative: With that, he backed away from her, causing Saeko to pause before resuming her walk. As she walked, he got closer to her, which startled her but didn't bother

her since for some strange reason, she felt comfortable around him, she thought in her mind.

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "Hmm, why do I suddenly feel comfortable around him? If I don't like him, then why do I enjoy him being around me? Ha...  I should stop thinking

about this and just focus. "

Narrative: Akira spoke as soon as he was done, showing Saeko the entire school.

Kuragari Akira: "What are your thoughts of this school?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "First of all, it's massive, second, there's a large amount of people, and third, I liked the rooftop."

Narrative: Akira asked her as she took a sip of the iced lemon tea from her plastic cup.

Kuragari Akira: "What attracts you to like the rooftop?"

Chunamiis Saeko: Oh well, let's just say that it's calm, and I notice that less students are coming up to the rooftop, and the breeze is blowing, which makes me feel

better.

Kuragari Akira: "Well, I also have a final question."

Chunamiis Saeko: "What is it?"

Kuragari Akira: "Why did you..."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Well why did you what?"

Kuragari Akira: "Never mind. Let's just go."

Chunamiis Saeko: "What!? Why did you abruptly leave your question unfinished? And go where?"

Kuragari Akira: "To your new dormitory."

Chunamiis Saeko: WHAT!? B-but isn't there something you have to fill out on paperwork to tell us about your dorm?

Kuragari Akira: "Indeed, that is correct."

Chunamiis Saeko: "But how is that possible because I didn't sign any paperwork requesting my dorm and signature?"

Kuragari Akira: "Well, you don't need to do that."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Hey, what do you mean?"

Kuragari Akira: "Let's say I kind of control the principle and asked him to let you have your dorm and I prepared a bunch of bogus paperwork about you so just relax."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Let me take a guess: I'll have a dormmate won't I?"

Kuragari Akira: "Yep~!"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Ha, all right, let's go."

Narrative: Akira asked her a question as they walked to the dormitory.

Kuragari Akira: "So, were you rich when you were alive?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Oh, no, I wasn't rich; I just had an average but terrible life; how about you, were you rich?"

Kuragari Akira: "I'm rich, why do you ask?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Well, you asked me a question, so I thought it would be nice if I asked you the same question you asked me, and besides, you look rich."

Kuragari Akira: "Would you like to be wealthy?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Hmm nah."

Kuragari Akira: "What? Why not? Don't you want to spend a lot of money shopping, eating luxury food, drinking fancy wine, and buying a large castle for yourself?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Well, it would be good to spend a lot of money on myself, but it would be unnecessary for me, and moreover there's one thing that I can't buy even using

money."

Kuragari Akira: "And that is?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Money cannot buy nor bring my happiness."

Narrative: Saeko smiled at him, which he spoke solemnly.

Kuragari Akira: "Tsk! Whatever freak, we're here."

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "Geez, why are you being so harsh to me? I just answered your question honestly! Okay so this is my room, yeah room 20, wait where's my own key?"

Narrative: Saeko asked, looking Akira in the eyes.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Hey where's my room key?"

Kuragari Akira: "Well, your dormmate has it; you can ask your roommate for it."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Wait, why does my dormmate have it and not me, and why didn't you ask for another dorm key with the same number dorm room?"

Kuragari Akira: "Well, because the school only has one key for each room, each student should share the dorm key with their dormmate."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Well, it makes sense; I'm going inside now."

Kuragari Akira: "Goodbye weirdo."

Narrative: When Saeko heard him say that, she turned around and found him gone, so she turned back to face the door and knocked. After 2 minutes, the door opened,

revealing a man wearing a uniform, and as the two of them stared at one other, the man spoke.

Man: "Who are you and what are you here for?"

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "Oh sh*t, I don't know how to socialize! What do I say to him? Maybe if I tell him I'm his roommate, he'll understand, but that's not going to work.

He might become suspicious of me because he's going to have a roommate out of nowhere! Well, think Saeko! Think!!!"

Narrative: Because Saeko was sweating profusely, the man became suspicious of her, and he spoke in a dark and menacing tone.

Man: "Don't make me repeat, who are you and what are you here for?"

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "Holy sh*t! He appears angry; I'd better explain before he gets really angry."

Chunamiis Saeko: "I'm your new dormmate."

Man: "Hmm really because I didn't receive any updates from the principle."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Sh*t! I knew it was going to happen!"

Chunamiis Saeko: "That's because I'm a student who just transferred here 1 hour and 20 minutes ago, and I'm sure the principal forgot to notify you about this."

Narrative: The man raised an eyebrow and then said.

Man: "Well, I'm not sure, but I think you're right, the principle may be forgetful at times."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Well, I hope we can get along this year."

Man: "Well, whatever. Go inside if you don't want to freeze to death."

Chunamiis Saeko: "It's not cold here."

Man: "Oh, it's freezing outside."

Chunamiis Saeko: "It's literraly 9:20am right now and It's August so it's sunny outside."

Narrative: Saying that Saeko saw the man go inside, leaving Saeko alone herself outside, she decided to go inside after noticing the door was left open. As she entered,

she noticed the hallway had a shoe rack near the door and as she pulled shoes off, she noticed a coffee table set with one classic chili hotdog and a caramel latte. While

she glanced at the room, the man started speaking.

Author: This is what the inside looks like.

Man: "Have a seat, I've got a food and a drink ready just in case you get hungry or thirsty."

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "I'm starting to behave like I did in my previous life from three years ago, therefore I'm skeptical that he made food and a drink for me. I must

change myself in order to live better!"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Thank you for the food and beverage, however I had some iced tea with lemon and strawberry daifuku earlier."

Man: "Okay, I get it. Let me know if you need anything more."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Okay thank you ummm..."

Man: "I'm Blake Carter, I'm 21 years old, and I'm the council president of this school."

Author: This is what Blake Carter look is like.

Chunaiis Saeko: "I'm Ch, er, Amamiya Nagi, and I'm 19 years old, hehe."

Blake Carter: "Okay, you may move in now or later, I suppose."

Chunamiis Saeko: "I'd want to move in right now."

Blake Carter: "Other than that, there's no need to get thrilled. Where are your belongings?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Yeah, I suppose I forgot it at home. Hehe."

Blake Carter: "How could you have forgotten your personal items when you knew you were headed to your dorm?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "That's because I didn't know there was a dormitory here in this school."

Blake Carter: "Wait, so you've never lived with a stranger in a home or in a dorm?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Yep, that is correct, hehe."

Blake Carter: "Make yourself comfortable, then."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Okay, thank you, President."

Blake Carter: "It's my responsibility. Since it's your first day of school, you are permitted to be absent today only."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Wait, really? I can skip school today, but why?"

Blake Carter: "Because you're new and since I'm the council president of this school, I'll give you a school tour."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Well, that's unnecessary."

Blake Carter: "Do you want to get lost at this school? As it's so massive that new students get lost here easily."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Yeah, that's because I've already been given a tour of this school."

Blake Carter: "Well, I see what you mean. Who gave you the tour of the school?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Oh, Mr. Kuragari."

Narrative: As soon as Saeko said that, Blake's expression turned dark, then he asked in a serious voice.

Blake Carter: "Are you certain it was him that gave you a tour of the school?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Yes, it was him that gave me a school tour, but why do you ask?"

Narrative: Blake snatched her arms, pinning her to the wall, as Saeko glanced at Blake's eyes, which appeared cold and gloomy, and murmured solemnly.

Blake Carter: "Be cautious in his presence."

Chunamiis Saeko: "H-huh, why?"

Blake Carter: "Well, just trust me, be cautious around him, and don't trust him."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Well, I'll be cautious with him and not trust him. C-can you now...?"

Narrative: Blake raised his eyebrow as Saeko uttered this, and he observed Saeko's face going a bit red, so he came closer to her face, making Saeko's face more redder

than before, and he asked her.

Blake Carter: "What's up with your red face? Are you ill or something?"

Narrative: Saying thus, Blake placed his palm over Saeko's forehead to check, as Saeko felt his warmth on his hand she thought in her mind.

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "His hand is so warm, his face is extremely lovely, and his eyes seem like a puppy. No! What am I thinking but he's to close we're 1 inch away from

our faces. I should tell him."

Chunamiis Saeko: "Can you please step back, President?"

Blake Carter: "We need to go to the nurse's infirmary since your face is red and you're sweating profusely."

Narrative: As soon as Blake stated that, Saeko responded in low voice.

Chunamiis Saeko: "That's because you're standing too close."

Blake Carter: "Please speak a little louder, please."

Chunamiis Saeko: "I said that you were standing too close!"

Blake Carter: "Please don't yell, since the walls here are so thin that students may be unable to concentrate on their studies. And what do you mean by standing too close?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "That's the reason why my face is red and sweat!"

Blake Carter: "What? I'm not understanding?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "You're so close to my face, like 1 inch away, that you're making my heart beat really fast!"

Narrative: It took a few minutes for Blake to notice, and his face grew a shade of red as well, although not as much as Saeko's, before he simply stared at her, looking into

her eyes, which made her heartbeat race. The two of them just stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity until they heard the school bell ring and Blake snapped

back to reality, stepping aside to make room for the both of them, while Saeko turned away from Blake before speaking.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Oh, President, aren't you busy or something?"

Blake Carter: "Oh, I forgot I had a meeting with the council members, I have to go now, thank you for reminding me, Nagi, goodbye and make yourself comfortable."

Narrative: Saeko watched as Blake left and closed the door behind him as she was alone, she grabbed her chest then she started thinking of what happened earlier besides

the kabedon she felt suspicious of why he was frightened when he heard Kuragari, but she just couldn't find the solution as she had a headache, she saw the clock displaying

10:30am as she checked the time, she walked around the dormitory then she found a room as she opened it, she saw an empty room with an empty bed she took that room as her

bedroom as she went and laid down on the bed, she thought in her mind.

Author: This is what her bedroom looks like.

Chunamiis Saeko's mind: "Ahh this bed is so lovely and cozy I like this room it's so quiet I'm enjoying this life, but I'm not going to be here for long, so I better make

the most of it, and I wonder how Mr. Kuragari is?"

Narrative: Saeko stared at the ceiling for a few minutes before closing her eyes as she slept for 2 hours and 20 minutes, suddenly she felt something on her forehead like a

hair strand as she slowly opened her eyes she was shocked to see Akira who was now at her bed looking at her as she was about to scream, he covered her mouth then he

murmured.

Kuragari Akira: "Don't panic, okay?"

Narrative: Saeko nodded as Akira removed his hand from her mouth; the minute he did that, she yelled loudly at him.

Chunamiis Saeko: "WTF! WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU DOING STANDING THERE LOOKING AT ME!? How long were you there?!"

Kuragari Akira: "Just now."

Chunamiis Saeko: "How did you get inside to my dorm?!"

Kuragari Akira: "Ta ta ta. Don't tell me you forgot I'm a grim reaper with magic?"

Chunamiis Saeko: "Oh I must have forgotten."

Kuragari Akira: "Considering that you are already an elderly woman, of course you forgot."

Chunamiis Saeko: "What do you mean I'm an elderly woman?"

Kuragari Akira: "Don't play dumb; you stated in class that you are 19 years old."

Chunamiis Saeko: "OK, so what are you trying to say?"

Kuragari Akira: "Oh my devil! Do I need to explain it to you? Because you were 19 years old, which you are now 22 years old because you died three years ago at the age of

19."

Chunamiis Saeko: "What do you mean I'm 22? I'm 19!"

Kuragari Akira: "What are you talking about, your 22 yea-"

Chunamiis Saeko: "I died when I was 16, and because it was three years ago, 16 + 3 = 19, therefore I'm 19."

Narrative: As Saeko stated that, the room fell silent, and Akira remained silent as she uttered that sentence, her voice sounded sad but calm, and as the room and both of

them fell silent, Saeko spoke to break the silence between them.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Well, Mr. Kuragari, why did you come here?"

Kuragari Akira: "Yeah, I came here to tell you that it's lunchtime, so I thought it'd be better if I came here in person to tell you about it, but I didn't expect to see

you asleep in your bedroom, oh, and also."

Narrative: Saying that, he grabbed something from his pocket and showed it to her, and she was surprised to see a credit card, but not just any credit card, but a black

Mastercard, and then he spoke.

Kuragari Akira: "Here's your credit card for your necessities; now come on, let's go."

Narrative: As Akira was about to walk away, Saeko pulled his sleeve and spoke.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Stop! Why did you get me a black Mastercard? You know that within this card causes a lot of yen like mill-"

Narrative: Just as Saeko was about to finish her sentence, Akira covered her lips with the black Mastercard and murmured.

Kuragari Akira: "Just use it for your necessities and your lunch, okay?"

Narrative: Saeko nodded, then took the black Mastermind from her lips, placing it in the palm of her hand, and questioned worriedly.

Chunamiis Saeko: "Wait! I have a question."

Kuragari Akira: "Ha... What is it?"
