Chapter 23:

You are just too beautiful.

Under The Shattered Eclipse


The next day, Yuki and Hiroshi decided to talk about what they should do from now on. They now officially love each other, so they decided that they would stop killing others for good. Although they stopped it after they moved to their new home, they reconfirmed it. They will now stop the act of killing and live a life like normal high schoolers...

Yuki was sitting next to Hiroshi while they were talking. Her teaser side didn't go off. After finishing talking, she kissed him at the cheeks and ran off to her room to change into her school uniform. While Hiroshi was here, processing what just happened there.

They went to school as usual. They were holding and were a little bit closer than usual. Previously, they would stop the act of holding hands while entering school. But today, they forgot to do it. The entered and waited for the class to start. When the homeroom teacher arrived and said something,

"A week from now, we are going to have a study tour for three days at Kyoto."

The notice was kind of sudden, but nobody complained. Why would they? They are going on a study tour, that's all they need. Why bother complaining?

That means, during the study tour, Yuki and Hiroshi would get more free time together.

They took one week of preparations. They also took a look at all the places that were there. It seems interesting. Lately, a lot of new buildings were popping up there. There was a big shopping mall there now. The inside basically had all kinds of stuffs. Theatres, shops, and what not. It looked promising.

Tomorrow's the day of the study tour, so they went to bed early. But the problem is, they couldn't sleep. They were too exited. Yuki decided to call Hiroshi through the phone, even though his room is next to hers. Hiroshi picks up the call and says,

"Can't sleep."

"Yeah."

"Wanna talk till you get tired?"

"Uh huh."

"Okay. What do you want to talk about? Stars? Sky?"

"Tell me what are you thinking of right now."

"It's not something interesting."

"Still. Even if nobody finds it interesting, I will."

"... I have been thinking, what takes to be a normal high schooler?"

"That's a deep question that you are thinking about. I guess I have no answer to that question too. We are in the same boat."

"We have killed a lot of people. Will those people forgive us for what we have done? Will we really be that easily forgiven? Don't they hate us? Do we even deserve such a happy life after what we have done?"

"..."

"Sorry for such silly questions-"

"Those are not silly. Those are deep, deep questions. But I don't know the answers to these questions."

"I guess let's see what happens to our lives in the future."

"Yeah. I guess that's the only option we have."

"Its getting late. We better sleep."

"I am feeling sleepy too. Bye."

"Bye."

They slept the night. The next day was the study tour day. They packed up and left the house with all the necessary supplies in the bag. They went to the school grounds. They will first go to the station by bus. Then they will go to Kyoto by train. It will take around 6 hours to reach Kyoto in total.

They reached the school grounds around half an hour before the bus arrives. They had time, but they didn't know what to do. They were alone. Maybe they arrived a little bit too early.

"Everything looks so empty. This is the first time I have seen the school ground this empty."

"Is that so?

"Hey hey, take a picture of me."

Yuki gives him her phone and goes in the middle of the school ground. It was still a little dark, but it adds to the details. She put on a wonderful pose and smiled. The picture went perfect too. Even he was amazed by how beautiful she looks in the photo.

"Let me see ,let me see how I look in the photo. Oh my, I didn't know you could take such a good picture, Hiroshi."

"I am not a good picture taker, you are just too beautiful."

Hiroshi started using his rizz powers. It worked. It made Yuki flustered.

"Not fair. I should be the one teasing you... not the other way around."

"... and also, could you send me the picture?"

She had a smug look on her face. This was her opportunity to tease him.

"Why? Don't tell me... you are going to fantasize over me with that picture, are you? Tell me tell me."

"I want to keep it beside my table."

Yuki was flustered.

"... Don't. It's embarrassing."

"Well, if you insist then I won't. Now, what is your answer?"

She pouted a bit.

"Not fair. That's cheating. I wanna tease too."

"Okay okay. I am sorry. Now stop pouting."

He then started to pat her head. Yuki was shorter than Hiroshi, so he was able to pat her easily. She pouted even more. But didn't reject him patting on her head...

As revenge, she thought of a plan. While he was patting her head, she just went and hugged him. Hiroshi was not expecting that.

"How do you like that?hmph.", she said with a grin.

He embraced her back too. Not for teasing her, but genuinely because she is too precious for him not to hug back. They have been hugging for quite a long time, until a teacher passes by. Upon seeing that, they both stopped doing that. The other students started coming too. Their lone time came to an end. But it was a fun time.

After that, they had to go to the hall room where the principal told the students about the rules and regulations that they had to follow during the tour. It was so long that some students even fell asleep. Heck, even some teachers were dozing off. They were allowed to sit on the ground while listening to the rules and regulations, there was a segregation between males and females. Well, a segregation doesn't fit right. It was like an invisible line between the girls and the boys.

While most of the boys and girls were talking together in groups, Yuki was left out. She was sitting alone. Hiroshi and his three friends were talking too. After coming to this high school, she didn't try to make friends. She was with Hiroshi all the times, so she forgot that she needs friends too. Some of the classmates were intentionally ignoring her for no reason. They don't know how to approach her. But suddenly a voiced called for her from behind, silently. It was not Hiroshi, but the girl that she met when she was at the women's undergarments shop. That's what Hiroshi likes to call that place.

She approached her first. Then they started talking. There were only a few things they could talk about. But this was the mark for their friendship. She asked for her name. Her name was Eiko. She had hair of medium length, which was up to her shoulders. Not too short, but not too long either.

She had blonde hair. But the colour is very light. That's why she dyes her hair to be darker. While Yuki only had white hair. She didn't need any dye to darken the colour of her hair. I mean, how can anyone darken the colour of white?

Soon enough, the long and boring speech of the principal ended. They all went to their respective buses after that. Of course, Yuki and Hiroshi sat together. Because, why not?

But that was almost not the case. Hiroshi's three friends decided to take Hiroshi from Yuki for a little bit.

"Hey Yuki-san. We are gonna take your boyfriend for a bit."

"Hey, what are you guys doing?"

"Can't you see?"

"What?"

"Look at her. If you stay with her all the time, she won't have time to make friends. Give her some time with the girls. Let her make some friends. That way, it will be good for her too."

"I see."

"Good luck."

In the mean time, a few more girls approached her. She was making a few more friends. Seems like she is approachable after all.

The bus has not started yet. But it is going to start soon.
