Desire - H. Umemiya

Chapter 4. Greenery at the Rooftop

"Uhm... Mic test... Mic test... Hello, everyo-"

"Don't you think it's time for you to stop doing that?"

"Stop what exactly Hiragi-kun?"

The banters in the stereo keeps on coming and what's worse is that it seems that they are even fighting over the microphone now, thereby, making those who are listening to suffer from the loudness of their voices.

"Argh, I really can't with you..." The Hiragi-guy? seeems to give up talking to the other guy.

"Can't we just not let Umemiya-san and Hiragi-san inside the audio room?" Suo Hayato jokes but is also failing to maintain his composure about the matter as his eyebrows move up and down a few times and his bright smile couldn't hide that.

Yuki laughed at that but flinches too for a few times when their voices get to loud for her ears.

"What?!" Sugishita Kyoutarou, the one who sprung the chair at Yuki a while ago, yelled. Obviously, not liking what his classmate had jested, although, he probably didn't understand the joke in the first place.

"Nothing. It's not good to just keep getting on nonsensical fights, Sugishita-kun. Umemiya-san wouldn't like it." This stops the walking Sugishita, probably he was moving towards Suo, ready to fight again.

'I think I shouldn't get on his nerves again.' Yuki thought not really wanting to get into unnecessary fights just like what Suo stated.

The buzzing students became silent and just stared at the speaker when the noise from  it was gone. It was as if the person on the other side was actually just in front of them. It made her curious who really is this, Umemiya Hajime.

'Seems like he'll be dropping a bomb of a news.'  Yuki thought and started to get serious too from sensing the vibes around everyone in the room.

"Good morning hehehe." He stated making everyone in the room sweat drop.

This behavior garnered a snicker from Yuki whom immediately shut her mouth when she caught Sugishita glaring her way.

'He's so keen on keeping his character.' She thought and returned the glaring fellow with her usual smile. Her action was so unexpected that he immediately evaded her stare as his face gradually reddened from embarrassment, probably.

"Anyways, I just want to invite our grade representatives along with their Vices to the base. Oh, of course, you are also welcome to join newbie-kun. I'd like to get to know you. That's it, bye!"

"Oy-!"

The class has ended when Yuki was invited by the three to tag along to the so-called HQ of Bofurin, of course it was only done by Nirei and Suo, but well, nevermind the minor details.

She ain't sure where it is but she just had to follow the three, right? So, it is not a problem.

But the thing that keeps bugging her mind is... why does she need to go too? Yuki heard from her classmates that there were no such precedents of new kids actually being invited to the HQ, well except for Sakura Haruka - but it was also to thank him about him helping in town - says Anzai Masaki.

'Don't tell me they already know?' She concluded but she couldn't think of any possible hints that she had carelessly shown.

Honestly, she was actually just blending in the background and just mingling with her classmates, and aside from that, she hadn't gotten close to any other students of Furin High at least not in her two weeks of studying there.

So, she deemed she was safe.

No information will also be leaked. She was certain of it, knowing that her father is keeping his reputation clean. Therefore, he had probably have taken the matters into hand, well regarding her identity that is.

"Relax, Shinomiya-san." Suo noticed the absent mindedness of his classmate which was quite contrary to her usual look. He tried to comfort her even if it's just a bit, hoping to put her at ease.

"Umemiya-senpai doesn't eat people." He added and chuckled.

The information did not elevate her mood but it was his effort that did it, so, she was able to put on a smile and nodded her head to his words.

"Right." 

Arriving at the rooftop (HQ of Bofurin), Yuki was surprise how contradicting the place can be to the distinguished group. 

Somehow, it felt like a relaxation spot rather than the base of a delinquent group (?), with all the plants growing in there rather than a display of bats and weapons, well she have heard of the news of the Furin High's change and she have stayed there for two weeks already, therefore, she knew it first hand how different it is to the usual school of delinquents but this was unexpected scenario.

She finds it intriguing how they don't start fights nor do unlawful or chaotic activities and now this.

It somehow eased her nerves.

She did not bother associating herself with the people gathered in the rooftop(she was surprised to find Sugishita already there).

In fact, she finds herself nearing the plants that seemed to be properly groomed and taken care of.

She lightly chuckled when she noticed that they are more likely plants for consumption, rather than flowers, though she's not sure what plants are they exactly.

She plucked an orange colored fruit?? and observed it keenly.  She squeezed it a little hoping to know what it is from the touch yet found herself still in the blank after feeling it.

"Ahhh!!! How'd you know they're to be harvested today?" A sudden voice brought her out of her reverie. It really took her by surprise that she ended up dropping the orange fruit to the ground.

"Oh..." She couldn't help but feel a little disheartened.

Therefore she turned her face to the one who surprised her and gave him a glare, her pouting is not also something to be missed.
