《ZERO Wind (ZW)》


 Chapter 0 Normal Life

    Under the scorching heat, I walked to school trying to erase my desire to play more games inside of my room for the whole day, however, because I failed the 1st semester¡¯s final exam, I was  forced to take summer class. As a result, today was currently the worst day of my life.


    "Damn it! Hey Sun! How about taking a break for a while!"


    I screamed out at the sun to vent out my frustrations.


    ¡­


    I know!


    Let¡¯s try imagining that this is a quest like in MMORPG¡¯s! At least this way, some of the boredom will be alleviated.


    Placing the headphone on my head, I felt something hit hard hit my back. I turned around only to see my online friend and also my classmate, Takazawa Gius.


    "Yo! Why the long face, man?"


    "Ohh...it''s you..."


    "W-what''s with that reaction!?"


    "It¡¯s all your fault! I got summer class coz'' you didn''t let me copy your answer sheet! You damned traitor!"


    "Well, we both failed! So, stop worrying about that."


    We continued talking till we arrived to our classroom. When we opened the door, we found out that the teacher was already there.


    This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.In other words, we were late.


    We quickly rushed to our seats in an attempt to appease some of the teacher¡¯s obvious anger, which could be seen by the bulging veins on his forehead. Time passed slowly with me not learning anything from class.


    When class was finished, Gius and I rushed home to play Online Games.


    "See you tomorrow."


    "Yeah!"


    When I arrived to my apartment, I noticed that the vacant room besides mine was now occupied. I ignored the cardboard boxes that was placed near my door step, cause I felt that it¡¯d only be a waste of time and opened the the door of my apartment room.  Just when I was about to enter my room, a silhouette of an unfamiliar girl caught my attention, I also planned to ignore her.


    Suddenly she said something. The moment I heard her voice, I was flushed with a sense of nostalgia.


    "Welcome back, Haru."


    I was stunned for a moment; I quickly turned my head towards her.

 Chapter 1 The Transfer Student

    I scratched my head as I head to the toilet. Something bugged me when I remembered the manga like incident last night, that outside my apartment door.


    ¡°Welcome back, Haru huh¡±


    I grinned like an idiot when I remembered a girl say that in front of me last night.


    ¡°Wait! How did she know my name?¡±


    I thought hard as I reached to my phone which was in my pocket and checked the time.


    [7:42am.]


    ¡°Crap!! I thought too much about that girl! I forgot I about class today. Damn it!  Now that I think about it, what did she look like again?¡±


    As I walked while deluding myself with my morning fantasies, I felt something or someone¡¯s presence  following me. What¡¯s more, I could tell that the person was about 7-8 meters away from, I didn¡¯t how or why I could do it,  but I was thankful to it. I took a turn down an alley which was in fact a long route to school. I then entered a bookstore that I found and waited for the one who was following me. I waited for at least 5 minutes, but the person didn¡¯t appear..


    ¡°That¡¯s weird.¡±


    I breathed out a large sigh as I grabbed the book in front  me. I noticed that the store owner was glaring at me, but I ignored it and read the book. However,I realized that the book was in fact an adult book!


    The store owner approached me while I was in shock.


    ¡°Mind telling me, what you¡¯re reading?¡±


    With a dumbfounded face, I did my best to think of an excuse to the smiling store owner.


    ¡°W-well it¡¯s a reference! Yeah a reference! I¡¯m using this book to gather some necessary information. So if you¡¯ll excuse me, I need to gather some more information.¡±


    I slowly walked towards the exit. When I had judged that I was finally close enough, I quickly broke into a sprint, I continued to run until I felt pain in my legs.


    The school bell rang the moment I arrived at the school gate.


    I fixed my uniform, before I went to my class, 2nd year class B.


    When I opened the door of my classroom, I hear a familiar voice from my back and with a pat, the owner of that voice greeted me.


    ¡°Yo! Morning.¡±


    ¡°¡­.Ohh, morning¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s up with you today? You look really pale.¡±


    Gius continued talking as I headed to my seat. I kept saying ¡°yes¡± without listening to what he was saying.


    When homeroom had started, I ended up staring towards the scenery outside the window because of the things that happened earlier.


    ¡°Alright class, today, I have an important announcement,  this class will be accepting a transfer student.¡±


    My classmates cheered loudly because of the announcement..


    As for me, the announcement stunned for a while because the moment I heard his announcement, the events that took place last night played inside of my head..


    A girl who was 154 cm tall and had a short brown hair stood in front of the whole class. That girl was the one who greeted me last night when I had returned to my apartment.


    I panicked greatly and even used my bag to hide myself. In that moment, I realized something, ¡°Why the heck am I hiding from her?!¡±


    I glanced at the transfer student and saw her making a troubled expression.


    ¡°What an airheaded.¡±


    When I spoke those words, she turned her head towards me causing  our eyes meet.


    ¡°Ohh crap! Our eyes met.¡±


    I took a glanced at her again and saw her making big smile as she looked at me.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t know introduce yourself, Miss Miyamoto.¡±


    ¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry, My name is Miyamoto Uzuki n-nice to meet you.¡±


    ¡°Ok class Ms.Miyamoto Uzuki. From now on she will be your classmate. The reason why she transferred is due to to her father¡¯s work. Yamada-kun, why don¡¯t go find a seat that¡¯s closer to the board while Ms. Miyamoto sits in your place. I know you¡¯ve been having trouble for a while because of your short height, so why don¡¯t you take this chance to find a seat with a better position..¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s rude teacher I¡¯m in highschool now¡± Miyamoto said as she pouted her mouth.


    Miyamoto continued to smile until she reached her seat, which was besides mind and with a whisper, she said:¡°I¡¯ve found you Haru¡±


    Although I had the option of ignoring, the way she spoke to me made me feel a sense of security and familiarity. Because of that, I couldn¡¯t continue ignoring her.


    My mind was filled to the brim with questions especially the words, ¡°Found me.¡±


    ¡°Oi , Do know her, Haru?¡±Gius whispered.


    ¡°I absolutely have no idea.¡±


    When lunch break came, everyone, who was curious, approached Miyamoto. They asked a lot of questions. Things like: ¡°Where did she live before transferring here.¡±,¡±Did she have anybody she liked in her previous school.¡± and many more.


    Miyamoto made a very troubled face while I continued to watch her.  She looked back at me and used sign language to convey something to me. It took me a while to understand what she meant because of how messy her sign language was..


    She was even making puppy eyes as she helplessly gazed at me with a look that said, ¡°Save me.¡±.


    I sighed and stood up to help her.


    ¡°Hey, guys, why don¡¯t you give Miyamoto a break. She looks really troubled right now.¡±


    I took Miyamoto¡¯s hand and told her, ¡°Lunch was almost over. Lets go grab something that¡¯s easy to eat in the cafeteria.


    I felt so manly when I spoke to her like that.


    ¡°Haru...¡±


    I heard her small voice from my back as we marched through the hallway.


    ¡°M-my hand.¡±


    The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.¡°Huh?¡±


    When I turned around because of what she just said, I noticed that Miyamoto¡¯s blushing madly as she looked straight down.


    The instant I saw her making such an expression, I realized that I was holding her hand, I jumped away in a panic while apologizing to her.


    ¡°I-Im sorry Miyamoto.¡±


    Miyamoto shook her head to express that it was ok.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, I wasn¡¯t bothered by it.¡±


    I nodded to her and resumed walking until we reached the cafeteria.


    Miyamoto quickly rushed to a vending machine inserted her coins into it. Feeling a bit curious, I approached her..


    ¡°Milk?¡±


    With a proud face, she answered my question with a¡°Yes!¡±


    I then took a quick glance at her chest in response.


    ¡°Ahh, un¡­.I think you should drink more of that every day.¡±


    ¡°Here, you should try it.¡±


    Miyamoto reached the box of milk she was drinking towards me..


    I hurriedly covered my mouth using both of my hand and vigorously shook my head from left to right.


    She tilted her head to her side and asked:


    ¡°Ehhhh..Why?¡±


    ¡°Are you an idiot or what?¡±


    ¡°T-that¡¯s rude!¡±


    ---Sighs


    ¡°It¡¯s because that counts as an indirect kiss!¡±


    Her cheek reddened and attempted to do a straight punch to hide her embarrassment.


    Without thinking, my body evaded the punch.


    ¡°You still got those swift reflexes since the last time we¡¯ve meet.¡±


    Slurp?


    Miyamoto turned around and noisily sucked at her straw.


    Something rangs inside of my head and accompanied with an intense amount of  sharp pain.


    Urrgh?


    I didn¡¯t mind the pain inside my head but the words she spoke that forced me to think for a while.


    ¡°The last time... we¡¯ve met?¡±


    At the moment, Miyamoto waved her hands at me with a smile on her face.


    Miyamoto and I returned to our class.


    As the time pass the afternoon class ended.


    ¡°Hey, Haru wanna go to the arcade?¡±Gius cheerfully asked..


    ¡°Sorry,I have other plans this afternoon¡­. I have to buy something to eat for dinner.¡±


    ¡°What a letdown. See you tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Ohh by the way, did you see Miyamoto?¡±


    Gius shook his head left and right.


    ¡°I see. see you tomorrow, then!¡±


    While walking the same route to my apartment. I suddenly felt the same presence from this morning following me again.


    I walked faster than my usual pace in an attempt to lost him.


    --Who the hell is he?


    As I fled from him, a brilliant plan floated up on my head. I continued to run away from him while feeling the presence coming closer to me..


    I could hear my heartbeat as I continued to run.


    ¡°W-w-wait!!¡±


    The shout from behind me cause me to stop running I then searched for the owner of the voice..


    --Was that Miyamoto¡¯s voice just now.


    ¡°MOVE AWAY!!¡±


    When I turned my head to the source of the voice¡­.


    Bang!


    I felt something hard hit my stomach. I stumbled down while feeling dizzy as I saw illusions of stars above me.


    ¡°I told you to move! Idiot Haru!¡±


    ¡°Owwww!¡±


    Because I got confused, I failed to understand and perceive who the person was.


    As I attempted to move my numb body, I felt a soft sensation on my right palm.


    ¡°¡­er..P-pervert!¡±


    SLAP!


    I felt pain on my left cheek as I regained the feeling of my body..


    ¡°Y-you touched a maiden¡¯s legs.¡±


    I widened my eyes in a surprise because of the sudden situation I was in.


    --Miyamoto was on top of Me!


    In my head, I thought, ¡°What eroge is this from?¡±


    I looked straight to Miyamoto¡¯s face and asked ¡°Did I just raise a flag?¡±


    Miyamoto stood up and menacingly looked at me.


    ¡°Ehh? Flag? Huh?¡±


    When I came back to reality, I held Miyamoto¡¯s shoulder¡¯s and  raised my voice to the limit.


    ¡°ARE YOUR TRYING TO KILL ME.!!!¡±


    ¡°W-well it''s your fault for not moving when I told you to move¡±


    Miyamoto pouted at me in response.


    ¡°Were you the one who¡¯s been following me since this morning?¡±


    Miyamoto stunned and cold sweat started pouring down from her forehead.


    ¡°E-ehh. H-how did you know?¡±


    Miyamoto grabbed something in her backpack.


    ¡°How did you know I was following you? I even used binoculars and observed you 8 meters away..¡±


    ¡°Are you a stalker or something?¡±


    Conversing with her like this, a sense of familiarity and nostalgia swept over me.


    --HAHAHA!


    As a result, I laughed so hard that I couldn¡¯t breathe.


    ¡°Sorry about that.¡±


    Miyamoto smiled back at me and she looked at her wrist watch.


    ¡°Ohh, it''s time! I need to go this way see you in school tomorrow.¡±


    Nodding to her statement, Miyamoto trotted away. Suddenly she stopped and face my direction.


    ¡°YAMADA HARU.! This is not the real you but you should try to remember everything! This evening or maybe tomorrow you might remember it.¡±


    I dugged my memories in an attempt to understand what she was saying but failed to so.


    Without me noticing it, Miyamoto¡¯s presence vanished in an instant.


    ¡°What the hell is wrong with that woman?¡±


    The moment I arrived to my apartment, I quickly made a beeline towards my bed and powerlessly laid down on top of it.


    ¡°Ah, I forgot to buy dinner¡­. damn it.¡±
