Part 1
"Did you get everything?"
I ask Ayumu as she throws her backpack over her shoulder
"Yeah, yeah, I already checked a million times, don't worry"
She answers a bit annoyed
"Hey, Tachan"
Ayumu puts her hand on the waist of her skirt and spins around, showing off her uniform
"Does it suit me? How do I look?"
"You look great Ayumu-san, it trully suits you!"
Aya-chan smiles and replies cheerfully
Ayumu makes a triumphant expression, does she really wanted to hear a compliment this badly?
"Well, what about you?"
"Huh?"
I ask surprised
"What about me?"
She puts her hands on the waist and blares at me
"What do you mean 'What about me?' you are supposed to compliment me now, you know! This is my first time wearing a uniform and you get to see it first!"
My eyes wide and I step back, is it really that serious?!
"Tatseyo-san doesn't really understands girls that well..."
Even Aya-chan thinks this!
"S-sorry!" - I apologize and quickly cough
"Y-you look great! T-the suit really fits your figure and makes you look even prettier than you are!"
Ayumu's face goes red at my compliment
"E-even prettier?!"
She says with wide eyes
Noticing how embarassing what I just said was I scratch the back of my head
"Y-yeah... anyway, it looks great on you..."
We stay for a moment in this awkward of silence, before I feel a tug on my sleeve
I look at Aya-chan and see that she's pouting
"Tatseyo-san, don't we have to go to school?"
I nod awkwardly and both me and Ayumu return to reality
"R-right, sorry, let's go"
I say pushing the door open as the two of us plus Aya-chan step out of the house in direction to Kuoh Academy
"I'm so excited! I can't wait to see how life in a normal high school is like!"
Ayumu exclaims
"You've never went to school either, Ayumu-san?"
"Y-yeah..."
At Aya-chan's question, Ayumu hesitates for a while and looks at her with a hint of sadness, but tries to hold it back the best as she can while mustering a half smile
"Ayumu and I only went to kindergarden, after our powers began to evolve the Community decided that it would be for the best if we were educated under them"
I explain to Aya-chan, but instead of looking to her while talking, my eyes keep drifting to Ayumu, watching her reaction
With Aya-chan's attention focused on me, Ayumu's smile drops and the hint of sadness on her face becomes more glaring
Damn it! I really shouldn't have poked at this subject!
This is a really touchy subject for Ayumu, her adoption by the Esper Community, her relationship with her parents...
