Here I'm infront of that girl's house. Saying that there's no use to 'tame' her for my need. And that was what I thought.

Deep in my heart, I screamed,
〘WHY THE HECK I'M HERE!〙

A little flashback from last night.
That night I have a dream. It was the same 'girl' I once saw through Jiro's vision. I wandered through the a beautiful forest where fireflies were dancing around the landscape of a 'river'. I stepped on the leaves piling on the ground, walked through a thin mist and reaching toward a campfire. Below the starry sky, I was between her and Akito. She had a long,  straight black hair, but curved on the end with bangs and side hair. I felt, she was like different person from what I had met before.

Sure not that I was impressed of the scenery, but of the vision I saw Akito laughing when we were having a little chat. Together with them, I felt warm and freed from the problems I had had.

I thought so, I should 'check' her by myself. The next morning, Watabe-san drove the car for me and finally arrived at her house.

"Young master, are you sure?" Watabe-san worrying about me.

"Watabe-san, it's okay. I'll make sure everything is on the palm of my hand, so please cover it for me," I convinced while shutting the car door.

Again, the dogs barked 'welcoming' my presence. However, I could tell something's different from the last visit.

This time, a lady came out and three dogs jumped from the fence to follow her. She wore a quite decent clothing, guess she's just arrived after going somewhere.

"Hush, hush, go back," she said while waving her hand.

She approached the gate and saw me. I tried to take a glance on her to show my respect.

〈Oh! An albino!〉

"Um.. What's the matter, Sir?"

〈I'm sure he's not one of Seo's boy ｢sp.means:thegender｣ friends, though〉

I lost words. To be honest, I did prepare some words to exchange to the Seo girl, but not the 'lady'! That's it, I just remembered that today's Saturday! Her parents must be at home now! Then the lady's- For now, think it's better to introduce myself first!

"I'm sorry to disturb you, Ma'am. My name's Kato Kazuki, I'm a student from Vorfreude Standforth University. I heard that a girl named Kitajima Seo lives here. By any chance, are you her mother? I'm here to apply for internship, would you accept me as her 'tutor'?"

A- Isn't it too direct? Will she judge me as a suspicious man? I mean, not only she knew that I wasn't a friend of Seo, but knowing the girl's name would sounds fishy, oh man, screwed it.

〈Internship? Tutor? What's the man try to say? But he said he's from Vorfreude, that famous boys private and high-class university, right?〉

"Uh, wait. I'll call Seo here."

She left me and called her name for several times. As I thought, this would be difficult for me.

"Yes, right away!"

The girl rushed and asked her mom about it. This time, again, I felt that it was completely different that the last one. She had her long hair untied, and her bangs tidied. I see, she gave a totally different aura from the last time I met her, I was so sure about that!

〈Ara-ara, isn't he the albino I met several days ago? The God should loved me so dearly! Is he still searching for- wait! Did I really register on a fishy website? Isn't it bad! Isn't it bad!〉

Ah, go back to square one.
"Are you Kitajima Seo?"
"Yes, I am."

〈It's danger! He's an albino, but if he do anything weird I should do something before bad things happened because of me! 〉

"Would you like to have me as a tutor?"
"Oui-?"

Her face clearly showed her confusion! Even she had her face stayed as calm as possible, she did think about me being suspicious! Watabe-san, I think I had getting full of myself! What should I do now?

"May I ask something?"
"Y-yes!"
"Where did you learn about my name?"

〈That's right! I should ask him first before I'm doomed!〉

"I- I learnt it from my friend!"

I should thank Jiro for meeting him before I met her. For now, I should make my own plot armor, but if she asked-

"Who?"

Crap. Jiro's personality isn't good! I knew he kept a good image infront of her, but I have a bad feeling about them! If I answer Jiro, I would be finished in an instant! God, what should I answer?!?
