My New Life

Chapter 35: A New Problem

"The school has allowed for you to be interviewed by some reporters coming in, they also wanted to interview me, so we'll be in there together. Reporters are cruel, and they twist your words, so say exactly what you mean, or it'll be interpreted differently."

I nodded.

"I understand, I'll let them know who I am, and what to expect of me, this'll help me complete my persona as well."

I let out a shaky breath.

I forgot it was today, but that's fine, I'm already as prepared as I need to be.

"Do you know what it's like?" I asked.

Hashigaki nodded.

"Yes. Two years ago a third year made it in, and he said it was like stepping out into a minefield, one wrong move and you're a goner."

"Make it through, succeed the mission, come out a hero huh?"

"You can say that."

I took a deep breath in, and looked at the doors across from us.

I fixed the new accessory I'd asked to wear, a small gold crown on my head made by the drama team.

"Want to go?"

"Sure."

"I'll answer any question asked to you, so long as I know the answer. Isn't it a part of your persona that your quieter?"

"True... I didn't think of that, I'll tap you on the leg if I'd like to answer myself."

"Okay."

The two of us walked forward, pushing open the doors to the room, and looked out at the crowd of reporters and photographers gathering around like an audience.

We were up on a stage, so they could clearly see us even from the back of the large group.

I noticed some chairs, and grabbed onto a more comfortable looking one, bringing it up nearly to the edge of the stage.

"Senpai." I said, patting the chair.

She nodded, walking forward and sitting down in it in an elegant fashion.

So far, we ignored the outbursts of people trying to ask questions.

I noticed that down in the crowd, closest to us, there was a line of bodyguards just in case.

Ha.

I turned back around, grabbed myself a second chair and pulled it up beside Hashigaki's.

As always, she looked beautiful in her costume, perhaps more so this time.

I sat down in my chair, leaning back in it as I kicked the one leg up to rest on my knee.

I glanced over at Hashigaki, who nodded.

It was loud, but not to the point my voice couldn't be heard.

None of the reporters have microphones, only the bodyguards.

"Bodyguard, it seems we haven't been left any microphones, would you mind passing a couple up here?" I asked loudly.

Someone nodded, and got a second from another person before getting up on stage, and handing one to both Hashigaki and I.

He got back down, joining the rest of the bodyguard line, and I smirked.

I tapped the mic, hearing it clearly, before speaking into it.

"Hello, hello there? This is Kitsune speaking, you all can hear me right?"

A bunch of questions arose, and I laughed.
