"Ah- Shit!!!"

I woke up and looked at the clock. I haven't even started Banchou's essay, and when I looked at my phone, I saw I had a text from her.

*You don't have to write my essay; I'll do it.*

"Ehh!?" I shout

There is no way she doesn't want me to write her essay, right!? I need to do a reconfirmation and see if she is okay.

I quickly took a shower and got dressed, throwing on my Noh mask so I wouldn't be recognized, and I rushed out of the door. I needed to go to her dorm, which I know is located now.

I think something is wrong with Banchou.

I sent that to Riri as I ran, trying to get to my destination quickly.

*why?* Riri responded

*She said she didn't want me to write her essay anymore!!* I fired off.

*Well, that's because you stink at it.* Riri replys

I went to send something else but stopped. "She won't be a help." I groan

She doesn't think anything is wrong with Banchoh, but I am worried about what is happening with her. I need to see what is going on with her.

As I approached the dorm area where she should be, I saw her walking down the stairs with Kanade.

"Where are we going, Hajime-tan?"

"Just to the clothing store, Kanade-san."

I cocked my head to the side. Hajime-tan? Kanade-san? Those are honorifics? When did they get so close???

"Do I really have to get naked in front of you, though?" Kanade asks

"Yes, we already agreed on that!" Banchou said

Hold it Kanade has to get naked in front of Banchou. Is she selling herself off!? Wait, is Banchou forcing Kanade to write her essay too!? I misjudged her severely!!!

"What do you know about fashion?" Banchou asks

"Not much... I'm Korean, so my Japanese fashion isn't really up to par."

"Eh!?" Banchou said in shock.

"You didn't know I wasn't from around here?" She laughs

"Not at all!!!" Banchou said

I continued to follow them as they kept walking, but then they suddenly stopped. "Something smells good!" Kanade said

"Ah, there is a food cart selling ramen. Before we continue, let's have lunch. Remember, you're paying!"

"Banchou..." Kanade sighs

Forcing Kanade to pay for lunch when you have all the money in the world-what is her goal here? Why is Banchou being like this to her?

I was watching them for about ten minutes. They just got their food and began eating it. Nothing seemed off just yet.

"Mommy, look, it's a stalker!" A little girl said

"Eh!? Wait, I'm not a-"

This looks awful... I'm stationed behind a telephone pole, watching two girls eat ramen and wearing a mask to hide my face. I looked back at the food stall, only to see they had left.

*Where did they go???*

I ran over to the food stall and then looked in both directions. I barely caught Kanade's beautiful flowing hair and ran towards them.
