Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Retry with Lie

Addy's Pov:

"What really happened?? Is just dream? Is It really?" I thought to myself

As I look down and hold my stomach. It felt to real. "The burning pain, red blood. It was real wasn't it?"

I look up to see a floating screen infront of me. "What is this? Am I in some kind of dream or something?"

.

.

.

.

Screen:

HELP MARIN KITAGAWA FROM HER TRAGIC FATE.

.

.

.

.

Death penalty?! But didn't she die... Wait simulation? Am I going crazy after pulling an all nighters??

Rimu: "Yo. You good?"

His voice snapped me out from my thoughts.

Me: "O-of course. Just a little bit tired."

Rimu: "Man, you're so pale you look like a clown. Go to the infirmary or something" He says with a worried look on his eyes

Me: "No need to worry about me." I smile awkwardly as my eye lock on the floating screen.

Is this real? I tried to touch it but it went through, stopping myself from doing embarrassing things. I continued the movement into a stretch.

This is so confusing. Is that dream really a dream? Because it felt so real, too real. I touch the place where the bullet went through to check, my body seems to remember it by how warm it is compare to area around it.

Taking a deep breath, I decided to wait until Blaze come in.

.

.

.

.

I wait patiencely until the bell rang signaling the first class.

Blaze enter the class with his usual blazing personality.

Blaze: "Alright class! How are you doing?"

The class then continue to yap. Not worth much.

Blaze: "Alright Class I'll be introducing a new student!"

The class kinda went excited for a little bit

Random #1: "What? A new student?"

Random #2: "I wonder if it was a girl"

Blaze: "Alright introducing, Marin Kitagawa from Japan."

Marin: "Hi hi!! I'm Marin! Nice too meet you guys!"

It wasn't really dream afterall.

The class erupted in excitement seeing a new girl in class.

Please shut up, its annoying.

Blaze: "Okay okay. Calm down class. Marin, please seat next to Ami there"

Marin: "Yes Teach" She says with a salute.

My eyes lock on her as she walk towards Ami table.

Rimu: "Ew." Rimu said as he sit beside me with a disgusted look on his face.

Me: "What was that supposed to mean??"

Rimu: "Nothing just didn't expect for you to have interest on a girl" He says with shrug.

Me: "Again what was that supposed to mean??"

Blaze: "Alright attention."

Then after that Blaze began his lecture.

I couldn't focus because of the memories of Marin getting stab by a guy keep playing on my mind.

.

.

.

.

Bell rang.

Blaze: "Alright that's all for today. Have a nice lunch everyone"

Everyone immediately run up to Marin desk and began to ask her questions like she is some kind of celebrity.

NPC girl #1: "Hey hey! What skin care do you use??"

NPC boy #1: "Do you have a boyfriend??"

They kept swarming her with question and blocking her. But she answered with kindness and patience. Just like how she would in the book

NPC girl #2: "Anyway Marin, welcome to Jura!"

Seeing how much people talking to her. I decided to use this chance to talk to her. I pick up my lunch box and go to her desk.

But I could not even sees her due to the large amount of student. I already tried many options like jumping trying to get her attention, shouting her name, and standing up on a chair.

All of it was in vein. It was all because of the crowd of student. Suddenly I got an idea. Gathering my courage I utter the words.

Me: "LoveBunny16" My voice isn't to loud nor to quiet. But I'm sure she'll heard it.

Marin suddenly stop. Her expression turn into a more cold one for second before her eyes immediately lock on me. It was as if she staring into my soul which spend shiver down my spine.

Then she stand up and smile kindly like before but this time she walk through the crowd.

Marin: "Ahh sorry everyone! I'm going to the cafeteria!"

She stop infront of me and smile but it doesn't quite reach her eyes.

Marin: "Hello. Would you be kind enough to show me where it was? I'm Marin"

Without a time to respond she drag me out. Since I see no reason to resist I just let her.

Marin Kitagawa, The first FMC to be introduced in BRS and the most popular.

She is a genuinely kind person with her own bubbly personality. She is Destined to be the most popular in the series. And that's checks out with her being always in top 3 popularity polls.

What make her unique is that her ability to cosplay as the character so perfectly, that it was as if the character came to life. She understood everything about whom she cosplay as.

She continues to drag me through the hallway.

The other student who sees that immediately began to talk among each other.

I know.. I know.. I know what is the thing they're talking about. Don't need to publicly show it to me you know. I instinctively bit my lips out of habit.

Then I realised that she is holding my forearm. Which made me even more anxious.

.

.

.

.

After a while we arrive in a secluded place. Just silence, she is facing away from me, until she breaks it.

Marin: "Tell me Jerk. How much is it?"

Me: "Huh? What do you mean?"

Marin: "How much do you want so you leave me alone stalker."

She turn her back with her face so.. Angry and felt so out of character for her to do such expressions.

Me: "Stalker? Wait wait. I'm not a stalk-"

Marin: "Don't lie to me Fucker. How do you know about that account?"

I'm in the Depths of confusion right now. The marin who is so kind and now talking like she is a delinquent.

Me: "I have no ide-"

Marin: "BunnyLove16. Tell me what do you want from me. You lifeless piece of shit"

I have no words to say. Because this isn't Marin I knew. Damn it, why my heart felt so heavy, it was beating so fast.

I don't want to see.. That again. I don't want to see her die again.

Marin: "So you just want to stay quiet than fine. I would just report to the school that you sexually harassed me."

Me: "Okay! Okay I'll tell!" I take a deep breath

Me: "I was friend with Gojo! Didn't he tell you? He has friend outside of Japan?" I said with a straight face.

I decided to lie using the information I know about her.

Wakana Gojo, a close friend of her in BRS, the one who always made costume for her due to him being from a doll maker family. It was mention that he had a friend over seas in the series but then it was never mention again.

Though Gojo did appear to help Marin for her cosplay event. By delivering her costume.

Marin: "Huh?"

Me: "Yeah, I was friend with Gojo!"

Marin: "What? That's a surprise to meet you here."

Me: "ahaha. I'm sorry if I scared you there. I don't know how to talk to you due to how many people are keep crowding you."

Marin: "Wait... Tell me Gojo's last name"

Me: "It was Wakana. Why?"

Marin: "Oh nothing. Just double checking."

Did that just work? I can't believe it. Finally my straight and unmoving face had a use.

Marin: "You should really cut off your hair. It's giving stalker vibes."

Damn it. Why is she so blunt now??

Me: " Haha. Sorry again"

Marin let out a huge sigh.

Marin: "It's really annoying you know? Just first day of school everyone start surrounding me as if I'm an idol or something. Is people of Jura like that?" she asked with a annoyed look.

Well to be honest with ya I never talk to any of them except Rimu and Blaze.

Me: "I mean it's just the first day right? I'm sure of it. A new face after 3 years of being together is refreshing you know."

She inhaled and slowly let it out.

Marin: "Sorry for threatening you. I was really worried about my identity as LoveBunny get leak"

Another out of character moment? Dang it.

Me: "May I ask why?"

Marin: "It just so annoying to deal with bunch of unemployed, lifeless weirdo. They be asking for me cosplay as doujin character. Like what the fuck?!! Disgusting ass."

I just let out a force laugh. Then a loud sound came out from her stomach.

Marin: "Anyway I'm so damn hungry. Share me your food." she points at my lunch box.

Why mine though??? Don't you have money or something??

Me: "Urgh. Sure here you go."

Then she just ate my lunch clean. Leaving me with nothing.

.

.

.

.

Marin: "Here your lunch box. Thank you for it."

I just give her a smile that hide my tears

Marin: "Anyway. From now on. You're my servent. And your first task is show me all the clubs after school."

Me: "Huh? Servent?"

Marin: "You're the only one I trust but not ose enough to be called a friend."

My brain cell just die and I can feel it.

Marin: "So bye bye. See you later servent."

And she just left me there. Is this the same character I knew???

.

.

.

.

At the end of school.

I was packing my beg when Marin slam my desk.

Marin: "Alright just like you promise. Show me all the clubs"

Without any response I was drag out again.

Rimu who's watching them just stares.

Rimu: "Are they dating or something? Ewww. But nah Addy won't date someone like knowing his taste in muscle girl."

He said to himself as he lift his bag and began to walk to "All Doing" club.

.

.

.

.

I was trying my best to matches her pace.

She drag me around the school trying all clubs.

She exceel at clubs that doesn't required high Physicality or thinking.

She spend whole 2 hours searching for a club to join by testing and trying it out.

.

.

.

.

Marin is still filled with energy

Marin: "Wow even though it was almost the same Japan but there's also clubs that is unique like military club, politics clubs and food specialist club."

While she is mental noting about the clubs.

I was barely alive from all of that. My lungs is about to explode by how much I breath in a second. Asthma nerf me so hard.

Marin continues to talk to her self. Until her eyes saw an interesting clubs.

Marin: "I never ask what clubs you're in. Which club are you in Servent?"

Me: "it was... 'All Doing' clubs."

Marin: "What do you guys do in that club?"

Me: "Depend on the teacher. But mostly just fun stuff." I finally able to catch my breath.

Marin: "How many member does it have?"

Me: "Me and my friend why?"

Marin: "I see."

Then without any words from her she drag me again to the "All Doing" club.

She open the door and put on her kind mask.

Marin: "Hi hi!"

.

I was just drinking some juice while playing genshin on the pc. When the door busted open and I Immediately choked on it.

Me: "What the hell?!" he cough violently.

Addy who saw that immediately take the tissue at the shelf and began to dry the juices on the floor. Not going to risk another scolding from Blaze.

Marin look around the club room. It felt like a more like chilling room then a club. Which sparks her interests.

Marin: "So you're doing nothing here and will get mark for clubs? SWEETS! I want to join!"

Me: "Huh?! What? No I refus-"

Suddenly Blaze is already at the door.

Blaze: "Oh ho? Marin did you say you want to join?"

Marin: "Oh teacher. Yeah. This clubs seems cool"

Blaze: "Ah I see. Sure here sign this."

Me and Addy just watches Blaze in disbelief it was as if he know. She would join.

Blaze: "Alright guys!! Please welcome in New member!! Marin Kitagawa. So let us welcome her!!"

She gave out a give a peace sign and a wink

Third? Pov:

All student slowly leaving out of school as school finally ends.

Marin walks together with Addy by her side.

Marin: "Can't believe today I had so much fun. I just thought that today will be so boring."

Addy let out a sigh.

Addy: "I just so."

Marin: "Thank you Servent. It felt really refreshing."

Addy: "Hah. I guess you're a human afteral-"

A punch to the gut hit him.

Marin: "What was that fucker? Want me to bust out your skull?"

Addy: "Nothing. Nothing." He cough violently.

She let out a small sigh. As her lips slowly curl into a soft smile.

Marin: "Thank you really. I thought my first day will be boring. What is your name stupid?"

Addy: "Addy."

Marin: "Ergh... Such girly name"

Addy: "What do you mean by that??"

Their voice slowly fades away.
