Back to high school Part 2

During the lunch break, the entire class tried to jump on me to ask the many questions they had. So as soon as the bell rang, I took Tama by the hand and we got out of there quickly. People seeming to see that we did not want to speak did not follow us. So I stayed with Tama in a hallway, looking for a place to have lunch. But just a moment later another classmate appeared in front of us.

It was a girl, short black hair, light-skinned, small. She actually was a completely average person, in fact, her only distinguishing features were her perfectly neat uniform and a class delegate armband. Where I come from there was nothing like that in high school, so I don't know what they do. But I have also seen television series and I have the idea that if she wants to talk to us it is to scold us.

"What are you two doing?"The girl spoke.
"What is that way of dressing and behaving?"
"Do you think that is serious behavior?"
"You two are an embarrassment to our school!"

"Forgive me, I think we don't know each other"
"Who are you?"I tried to talk.

"My name is Haru Yamamoto. I am the class delegate, and I also make sure that the students follow the school rules"
"The same rules that all new students seem to break as soon as they arrive"
"Why are all foreigners are like this?"
"Having to take care of a person was difficult but now I have to take care of you too"

The girl in front of me turned out to be just what I suspected, a pain to deal with. She seems to be a pretty honest person to everyone, so she could take advantage of that. Let's see what she can tell me.

"I'm really sorry, but we can't really do much about how I look" I said trying to pretend to be sad about what she told me.
"Since I was born, I was already this white, so for a long time I have endured ridicule from my classmates"
"Part of the reasons why I ended up here was because my parents thought that Japanese people respect each other a lot"

"I'm sorry I didn't mean about your condition"
"But how you acted when you introduced yourself"
"I didn't mean to try to make fun of you"
"I think I was very rude with what I said"
"forgotten, it might just be me who's on my nerves about the other new student" She answered.

"So there are more new students besides Tamamo and me?"

"Well yes, apart from you there is also another foreigner is Maria"
"And like you, she also presented several problems when she arrived, at the beginning she did not even have the school uniform"
"As it is said out there, she hardly talks to anyone, but from what I heard from a friend she doesn't stop asking my friend questions"
"Once we went out with her to the city to do some shopping, we even realized that Maria followed us for a long time"
"I had to scold her a lot, she since then she seems to have calmed down"
"Are all the people from outside so weird?"

Haru hadn't finished speaking when our teacher also arrived. As soon as she saw us she looked like she made a happy face, she looked agitated. As soon as got close enough she spoke to us.

"I finally find you!"
"Don't get out of class so fast!"
"I need to talk to you two!"

Since I also wanted to talk to her, I also took the opportunity and we followed her. She led us to the top of the stairs, right at the entrance to the roof. It seemed that access was restricted to students so there was no one there, a good place to talk without a doubt.

"You're fine?"
"You're not going to attack me are you?" asked the teacher.

"Who should ask that is me"
"What are you doing taking us to this hidden part?"
"Shouldn't we go to the staff room?"
"Although for you to ask that you really must be Warlady" I ask openly.

"Don't say it out loud!"
"That is supposed to be secret!"

"All right then what do you need now?"
"And why should I care" I told her

"Did you know each other before?" Tama asked.

"I've been doing a couple of jobs for her for a while"
"But it wasn't something I liked going through"
"Although it is good to see that you survived the combat in Vienna "

"I'm sorry for everything that happened in the past"
"I have come to personally apologize" speak Warlady.

"And that?"
"Did you come here just to say that?"

"And tell my boss I'm sorry!"
"I did not know anything!"
"I want to return to my previous position!"
"I can't stand being a teacher of those people anymore!"
"They bother me too much!" the teacher burst into tears.

"Was it your boss who sent you here?"

"I'm already aware of you two"
"I will help in everything I can do"
"And I'm sorry for everything that happened before!"
"I never knew that you were one of Adelis's daughters that the empire had kidnapped!"
"I did not know that the operation in Norway was to rescue you from those experiments!"
"If I had been more aware of my work, we would not have been able to undo those spies of the empire and have freed you from that horrible situation long before"
"And avoid having to do that hopeless plan in Vienna"

Because of what she was talking about, I could tell that War lady worked for my mother, and apparently, she sent her to work here as a teacher so she could watch over Maria. It also seems that he was in charge of creating a background for me and what happened in the war against the Empire. You could see that my mother had worked from various sides on spying on Maria and rescuing her from her. War lady was surely the one who facilitated my entrance to the school in such a short time.

"Very well I will see what I can do about Maria"
"I imagine that you are also here for the same"
"What have you discovered?"I told her to get back to the main topic.

"I started just when they found out she was here"
"She told me to find out all that she could"
"Although Adelis would also supposedly infiltrate, she called me yesterday to inform me about the change of plans"
"I think it's much better this way"

"I did not mean that"
"What do you know about Maria?"

"So sorry!"
"Forgive me for getting off-topic!" She answered with fear.
"In class, she doesn't excel at anything"
"She has no friends either from what I've seen"
"She is pretty good at sports but I was informed she shouldn't be good at it."
"Apart from that we only know that they bring and pick up by car"
"We try to investigate the car plates but they are fake"
"We think it should also be the I.S.C"
"Apart from that, I can't do anything else"
"I hope that you can discover something else"
"There's not much a substitute teacher like me can do"

Got damn. Does anyone really know anything about her?

"As I said, I will do everything possible to help you" the teacher continues speaking
"So don't worry so much about the notes"
"But please remember that you must at least pretend that you are studying"
"I can't help if you keep the history book upside down for the whole class!"
"In the afternoon I will leave a project to do in groups"
"It is the best opportunity to leave you with Maria"
"You have to take advantage of that"
"And avoid somehow attracting more attention than you already did"
"I know that they are actually married and that the ears are real"
"But I do not agree to do such striking things because yes!"
"I have to make this work if I want to get my old job back!"
"Help me!"

"Okay, I'll try to do my best"
"You focus on creating opportunities for me to be around Maria and not let them discover who you are or who you work for"

"I also have this for you two"
"Since you have such peculiar problems, I managed to convince the teachers to give you this key that gives access to the roof."
"So the two of you will have your moment alone without the others bothering you with questions about what happened to you"
"Besides we can use this place to talk to me if you need anything" She also added.

After talking with Warlady, Tama and I went to have our lunch on the roof. Although it cost us a little to find a place to heat it after asking another teacher for help, we did.

"The view from a tall building is incredible!"
"People look small below!"
"It's like when I see them from above"

"Wait what!?"
"What did you just say?"
"Can you do that"

"Well, as a goddess I can watch people from the sky, but it's not as fun as it seems, because you can't do anything. It's more like being able to fly and being able to follow the people you love. But it also has restrictions"

"So are you omniscient?"
"Can you know everything that happens at all times?"

"Of course not, only THE BOSS, is capable of doing something like that, all the other gods are not that powerful compared to him"
"That power is more like being able to observe the faithful and what they do with their lives, to know what happens on earth"
"Although it is more fun to see the box with pictures that move. I already understand why no one uses that magic"
"But if I can do more goddess things, do you want to see how to make my Moon closer to earth?"
"I could put it as close as you want"

"No thanks!!"
"I already said that I don't want panic in the streets"
"Also we have little time to eat"
"We took a long time talking to people asking and looking for a microwave"
"We'd better finish eating because I'm sure my mother made them happy, so I don't want them to go to waste"

"Does your mother really like to cook so much?"

"She always liked cooking, since I was a child she always wanted to have her own restaurant"
"In fact, she actually took a long time to make it happen"
"She wanted to have a family restaurant, a place where everyone could go and relax from the problems of life"
"My mother even wanted my father to help her in the kitchen, to do the dishes as a family"
"And although I am happy for her fulfilling her dream, I am also sad that it took so long, because if I had done it before, maybe my father would have had the good fortune to see her also with her restaurant"

"May I ask what happened to your father?"

"I don't really know all the details"
"I know he worked as a bodyguard for someone important to the I.S.C"
"They said he was pretty good at his job, maybe one of the best"
"But one day something happened while he was working in Germany."
"Apparently it was the day the war broke out, he was close to where it all started, and he did everything possible to get the daughter of his employer to safety."
"Not much is known about what happened"
"As I asked around they told me that he was betrayed"
"Supposedly he discovered something very important about the I.S.C and that's why they killed him from behind that day"
"Others say that he died protecting a group of residents who were protecting themselves in a hospital when the Empire's troops began to advance into Germany"
"The most striking is that he was the first to face the first Doll and despite defeating her he died from her injuries"
"My favorite story is that he destroyed several tanks by squeezing a grenade through the barrel, but with the fifth, he couldn't get away enough"

"I'm very sorry to ask you about that"

"Do not worry"
"I'm fine, I know he's in a better place"
"Although I would also like him to be alive"
"Now he is dedicated to trying to spend my money and gambling my things on card games"
"In addition to giving parties that it seems that everyone in heaven knows and has a statue in honor of him at the end of the year party on another planet"
"I think the worst was when he died I went to visit him and he pretended not to be at home, despite seeing how the TV changes channels"
"He now doesn't want to say how much of my money he spent"
"I had to hire Momo to take care of the finances and not spend the rest on more bets"

"Does he do that?"

"I think being away from mom must affect him a lot"
"He may just want to keep his mind busy with something to combat loneliness"

After finishing eating, the bell rang again, starting classes again. So Tama and I gathered everything up and went back to class to continue trying to find out what Maria is doing here.
