After Story Series (Satou Maya Route)

Satou Maya's POV.

Ayanokouji? 

Did I hear that right? Or i am just hearing things.

No, I am sure that I heard it right. 

"Ayanokouji?" I asked.

"Hai." The other person replied, monotonously.

So it's true. But i can't help but doubt it again.

"Your surname is Ayanokouji?" I once again asked.

"Hai." The other person once again replied with their ever unchanging voice.

Is she somewhat related to him?

"Ayanokouji Yaeka?" 

"Hai." 

Maybe a relative? A cousin? A sibling? Or maybe, maybe…… she's his child?!

No, no ,no, why am i even panicking.

Let's just calm down first. 

"Uhm baby are you related to Ayanokouji Kiyotaka somehow?" I gently ask the little girl.

"Hai, he's my father." The girl gave an unenthusiastic reply.

Eh?

…… 

So it's really his daughter!!!

Wait, wait, wait, wait. I just said that i'll calm down, but how to?

"Can i sit now, sensei?" The little girl asked.

"A-Ah hai Yaeka-chan you can." I stuttered as i replied.

Why am i even stuttering while talking to a child! What kind of teacher i am!

You read it right.

I am Maya Satou, a grade school teacher.

Something that i really never dreamed of before, when i was at highschool. Truthfully i really didn't have a dream job back then, so I can't really decide.

But being brought by my fondness for children, even i don't have a child nor a lover, I became a grade school teacher. I have been teaching for three years, and so far i am happy about my job.

It's also been seven years since I graduated from high school. Which is one of the memorable parts of my life, being in heaven and also in hell of a school. 

Though i have mixed feelings about my highschool life, but i can't really deny that it was a really fond memory for me. 

Still, I have been in contact with a couple of my classmates and batch mates for the past years. So i hangout with them from time to time.

Even though we became enemies back then, we can somehow reminisce about our highschool life while laughing and drinking, like it was just nothing. From that, i can really say that there's no lingering feelings about who wins and losses back then. And it also didn't affect our relationships right now.

If you ask me, there's only one thing that still lingers in me from back then, or should i say one person?

All throughout the seven years after our graduation, i haven't heard anything from Ayanokouji-kun. Even a little news about him……there's nothing. 

He disappeared after the graduation ceremony without any clues. Even his close friends have no news of his whereabouts, up until now.

And then, one day a child claiming to be his daughter floats up so suddenly, right in front of me! This is making me light headed.
