Unnatural Holoccurrences (DISCONTINUED)

I caused the death of my classmate.

Everyone's definition of "normal" was different. That was to be expected. From cultural differences between countries to lifestyle differences between individuals, it was hard to pinpoint what could be universally normal. Also, an unnatural occurrence could happen repeatedly in a person's life to the point that it could be called "normal" for them but it was definitely "abnormal" for the people around them.

Why talk about what is normal or not? Well, one could say my life was far from normal. As a person seeking the truths of this world, I experienced things that were not "normal."

Even my public life could not be called "normal." To start off, I have foreign blood in me, German to be specific and I grew up overseas in Germany. It wasn't until I was in high school that I decided to spend my time in Japan. Thankfully, I got my Asian father's black hair and looked Asian enough to blend in.

The reason as to why I was living in Japan was that my father wanted me to experience my Japanese heritage. However, I lived alone in a huge house. Aside from the housekeeping service that would occasionally clean my house and my father's close friend who would check up on me, I was given free reign on what I wanted to do with my life.

As long as I didn't do anything illegal and had reasonable grades in school, my family really didn't care about what I did. They didn't even check up on me unless I would call them first.

For others, it would be "abnormal" to have this kind of lifestyle but for me, it was completely "normal" since I was used to it. Not to mention that my research was going well without any disruptions since I live alone.

But that was enough about me, my life wasn't really that interesting since aside from the things that I said, I was a completely regular high school boy.

"Alright everyone! It's the day of the field trip~!" Aiko-sensei cheerfully announced.

"Wooo~!" the entire class enthusiastically cheered back as they raised their fists.

Or at least, I thought the entire class was enthusiastic. One person wasn't all that thrilled.

"Woo..." he said.

A boy with dark purple hair groaned. He was around my height and was carrying a book.

His name was Shinzou Haru, a classmate of mine. He was a loner since I never saw him hang around with his friends. I heard he was a good artist and I've seen him go in and out of the art room.

Now that I thought about it, there was a girl from the art club who disappeared. It wouldn't normally bother me but no one saw her vanishing. Her parents didn't even notice that she left her house and ran away. But anyways, it was a cold case. If I wanted to, I could find her myself but I'd rather not get too involved with the people around me. If I ever want to know the truths of the world, I have to learn when to involve myself in worldly affairs.

"Alright, the bus is going to be here in a few minutes, so everyone get everything that you need in preparation~!" Aiko-sensei told us and everyone began chatting with each other.

My eyes went towards Shinzou-kun and he left the room. Shinzo-senpai followed him.

Shinzo-senpai was a popular and friendly guy. Last year's Valentine's Day was amazing since his desk had a pile of chocolates from the girls. I wonder what his relationship with Shinzou-kun could be. Could they be family since they had the same last names?

Oh well, it didn't matter that much.

After a while, the buses arrived and we boarded it. We headed for the mountains after an hour or so of traveling.

"We're here, everyone~!" Aiko-sensei said as we got off the bus.

This place had a good atmosphere. The air was clean and fresh and nature was nearby.
