Chie: Perfect timing! Sorry, move over!

Chie forced herself under Y/N's umbrella and Pippa has her own...

Pippa: She did have her own, but she saw this kung fu movie where they used an umbrella to pull off some sweet moves...And...she accidentally broke hers trying to mimic the move. By the way...Did you see it?!

Y/N: I did.

Chie: Aha, do tell. But the person it showed...Never mind. I'll save it for when the others are around. We're gonna be late for school. Oh...U-Uhh...I-It's kinda awkward to only bring this up now, but...we're pretty close here...U-Um, I'm gonna just go ahead and run the rest of the way!

Y/N: Don't worry about it.

Pippa: Huh...? Are you sure? If you say so then...I guess it's okay. Thanks. Alright, let's go.

Ms. Sofue: Hello, everyone. My name is Kimiko Sofue, and I don't know how much you know about world history, but I'm an expert. First, a little about me. I love to use my dowser to look for lost items, and there's nothing quite like a romance. In fact, world history is a magnificent romance. History is like a river, it was born in the past and flows ever forward. I hope we can all enjoy the profundity of history together. Hohoho. And since this is my first lecture, I'll start with an easy question. Our transferee, Mr. L/N, please stand up. The western calendar is based on Anno Domini, the traditionally believed year of Jesus Christ's birth. What is the year before 1 AD called?

Y/N: 1 BC.

Ms. Sofue: Ah, you seem to understand this well. If you think that history is like math, 0 AD would be the natural assumption, but world history is much more complicated. The Gregorian calendar we use today is based on the Julian calendar, which was made while there was no concept of the zero as a number. That's why, when counting backwards, we go from 1 AD straight to 1 BC. Hopefully that was a nice introduction to world history...

Short girl: What's up with the body being hung upside-down? That's so freaky!

Sitting girl: Is it supposed to be like, mimicking an execution? It's messed up...

Short girl: My senpai told me it was a third-year named Saki who found the body.

Yosuke: Y-Yo. Um...It's, uh, it's not really that important, but...Well, yesterday on TV, I...Oh, uhh...Never mind. Look, I'll tell you later. Ahaha...

Chie: Yosuke, did you hear the rumor? Saki-senpai's supposedly the one who discovered that body.

Yosuke: I wonder if that's why she looked so down...She doesn't seem to be at school today either.

Pippa: Huh? Hey Yukiko, are you helping out at the inn today too?

Yukiko: Things are really out of hand right now...I'm sorry.

Yosuke: Is it just me, or does Yukiko-san seem way too stressed out today?

Chie: I guess they're running her ragged...

Pippa: By the way, did you see...it...last night?

Yosuke: Huh...? Uh, well...What about you?

Chie: I did! I seriously saw a girl! But...my soulmate's a girl? What's that supposed to mean?

Pippa: I couldn't quite tell who it was, but it was a girl for sure...Her hair was brown, about shoulder length. She was wearing our school uniform, and...

Yosuke: Hey...I think that's the same person I saw. I couldn't make out that much detail, though. The image I saw was much blurrier...

Chie: Wait, so you saw it too!?

Pippa: And we saw the same girl...? Does that mean...we have the same soulmate?
