I - Ahead of us.

Footsteps running from a distance, it gets louder and louder.

Hi. My names Airi Momoi. I cant exactly tell you what's happening, but im busy. CLASH! —Before I explain the main plot, lets go from the start, shall we?

A Time-skip goes through from.. I dont know hours ago.

*BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP*
"Ughh, will you ever shut up."
SLAM!
I go on my phone as I check the time. Wait— WHAT. YOU'RE SEEING THIS RIGHT. Oh wait you cant let me just... there. ITS 6:30.
"OH MY GOSH, IM GONNA BE LATE."
Footsteps scurry as she rushes.
"I was supposed to be up at five."
Door creaks
SLAM!
Oh my gosh.. Im gonna have to walk there anyways.
"Oh! Airi-san."
I ignore her as im rushing. You know who that is, right? You read the description right? Thats Shiho Hinomori. Second year in class 2-B.
"Airi?"
"Are you rushing?"
I nod my head as im sprinting.
"Its 05:12, theres no need to rush."
I stop as I hear those utter out her mouth.
"Oh."
Im very happy as you can see. Oh wait, you cant. Besides, im not even happy. Im frustrated. What was all that walking for?
"Anyways, since your going early, do you wanna chat or-"
"Airi!" 9 different FUCKING voices shout out. yes, NINE.
"Wait, don't four of you go to kamiyama."
"Yeah!! Just wanna see you." An speaks.
"We do too!!!" Tsukasa and Ena say.
"I was just forced." Nene said.
"Hey wait, the line Airi said is supposed to have a question mark!" An said.
"Thanks, but I'll go with Shiho. She goes to the same school as me and she came here first."
"Fruity." An mumbles.
"What did you say."
"Nothing!.."
"Anyways, wanna hang out after school..?" Nene suggests, glancing at Shiho.
"Sure!" Majority say.
"Alright, im gonna go now."
"Okay!! bye Airi!!!"
Me and Shiho clasp hands as we walk to school. Hey, I know what you're thinking.
Nene subtly glares at their hands. Her eyes focus, sharply.
"Nene, lets go!" Tsukasa shouts as he grabs Nene from the wrist.
"Hmm... So what did you wanna talk about again, Airi-san?"
"You were the one who wanted to chat."
"Oh yeah- right..."
Blah blah talking talking.. yap yap yap for 15 minutes..
"So yeah, thats how I found some random fantasy game in my basement when exploring." Shiho ends off the conversation, as the bell rings.
"Well, see you in the halls!"
...
What the fuck does that mean?
Anyways, I better get to class now. All im gonna do there anyways is just.. I dont know— sleep?

15 minutes later
blah blah bkah boring learning education..
Airi wakes up, looking around.
Airi raises her hand
"Can I go to the bathroom."
"Is it CAN I or MAY I?"
"May i go."
"Yes."
Sigh..
Why do things have to be this way? I hate it.
Oh!
I run into shiho on the way to the bathroom.
"Are you going to the bathroom too?" Shiho asks.
"No, im going to the back of the school to skip."
"Oh alright.. Can I skip with you, Airi-san?"
"Sure, do whatever."
They go to the back of the school.
"What is there to do anyways?" Shiho asks.
"Nothing much, I just fucking HATE class."
"Me too, but I just stay quiet and try not to get called on."
"Hey, what are you doing outside class?!?" A teacher spots them, shouting.
"Shit, run." Airi says quietly.
We run all the way to Kamiyama.. Wow, that was a long run.
Shiho pants, saying words one by one— "Im.. so.. FUCKING.. tired.."
"Yeah me too. Hey, lets sneak into Kamiyama."
"Are.. you.. Crazy..?"
"Emu does it too, so why cant we?"
"Speak of the devil."
"EEE!! What are you guys doing here too?!☆"
"We're skipping, but then the teacher caught us so we ran all the way here."
"Yeah, how did you get here anyways?" Shiho asks Emu.
"I kept getting stopped by people so i just ran behind them!☆"
"Wow, persistent much."
"Anyways, wanna come with me?☆"
"No thanks, we're gonna just go to the music shop.." Airi says.
"Aww, okay.." Emu says, saddened.
"Wow, she goes to kamiyama often.." Shiho says.
"Nene-chan!! ☆"
"Oh, hey Emu." Nene says.
Whats with all the stars in Emus lines?
"Ah! Shiho-san!"
"Oh, hey Nene.."
"Can i walk with you guys?" Nene asks.
"Um.. sure..!"
"Okay! Thanks, Shiho!" Nene says.
Emu looks at Nene, sad as she didnt get to talk to her.. but theres still Tsukasa and Rui!
"So.. why did you wanna walk with us?"
Shiho asks, with a stern look. Why do I even word it like that?
"Honestly, I'm not sure."
Yeah ' Honestly. ' you have the fattest crush on Shiho.
"Okay.. Do we talk..?"
YES YOU FUCKING IDIOT ARE YOU DUMB??? I mean, Yes we do. I say gently, uwu. Dammit, why am i even here.
"Sure, go ahead!"
"Alright, so I heard that—"
I've already heard you SO many times about this particular topic. NO MORE BASEMENT SEARCHING.
"Then when I looked in my aunts basement, I found this game called.. uhh... Something.. castle?"
wow that information truly helps me. reader, are you seeing this? why is the author so lazy? they cant even make up a name for the stories sake. I'm just gonna split away from them cause the author is too bothered to update this fic. What did i say?
"Airi-chan, where are you going?"
"Im going to that sweetshop in the scramble crossing."
"Can i go with you?"
"No."
"But why?"
Im just gonna ignore you because the author cant think of a response.
"Airi! Whatever, I'll see you tomorrow."
Finally.
The bell from the door rings as Airi goes into the shop.
"Hello, what would you want?"
Theres tiramisu cake here. Should i get it.?
"One Tiramisu cake please."
"Alright, and whats your name?"
"Airi momoi."
"Alright, we'll call your name in a minute or so!"
Like 2 minutes, yeah.
"Oh, Airi-san!" A voice calls out.
Minori?
"What are you doing here?" Minori asks.
"Im getting tiramisu cake." I say.
"Ooh, can I share with you?"
"Fine. What are you doing here anyways, Minori."
"They made us leave early because there was a fire in the bathroom."
Wow that's interesting.
"Airi Momoi!" The counter calls out.
I get up and get my tiramisu cake.
"Yay!! Can i get half?"
I don't answer as i split it into fours.
"Can I have two and you have two?"
"Fine."
Minori munches on the food.
"So why did you decide to skip school, Airi-san?" Minori asks, with food in her mouth.
"Nothing, and why are you asking that with food in your mouth?"
"Oh, sorry!!" Minori exclaims.
Im going to leave, this is boring. Plus I kinda wanna try attic searching.
"Airi-san, where are you going?!"
"Home."
"Oh, alright! See you tomorrow!"
Im not gonna be there tomorrow anyways, I'm gonna have to work on the project.
I walk away, footsteps tracing behind me— the fuck? does that mean theres someone behind me? Oh, no its just the authors bad way of wording stuff.
"Airi-san! We're doing stuff after school, wanna come?" An asks.
What exactly is ' stuff ' ?
"No sorry im busy."
"Aw, okay!"
I get home, tired. Why am I tired, all I did was walk? Im just gonna go in my room.
MORE MORE JUMP!
Haruka - [ Are we gonna train today? ]
Minori - [ Probably not, I mean we did have to leave early. ]
Haruka - [ Oh yeah, we did. ]
Haruka - [ Tomorrow I guess? ]
Minori - [ Sure, if we have time. ]
Why did I have to get so many notifications when changing? Should I just go in the attic by now? Whatever, I guess I should.
How do you open the hatch to the attic? Where even is it? Oh, its literally right in the hallway. I see it. Do you just pull the string— Oh, you do. I guess I should climb up here.
* Coughing * "What the hell? Theres so much dust. I would expect that from an attic, though."
I guess I have to crawl in the attic. Its a pretty big space... Hm? Whats this? I guess I should turn it on.
* BEEP BEEP ! *
Hm, this game switch is in good condition. Looks like Shiho was right about this ' Basement hunting '. I guess I should play it for now.
**Ooo— Bouken No Sho Ga Kiemashita!**
I swear I've heard this song before.. is that the game song? I just booted it up.. Wait, why does it look like my friends on the game screen? It doesnt matter, i'll just play it already.
[_ MINORI _]

[-[__It would be nice if we had more guards! Speaking of guards, you wanna be one?__]-]
[_YES_] [_NO_]
I dont wanna be a guard, but if I wanna keep the storyline going play I guess I have to be one..
[_ MINORI _]
[-[__Thats great! I actually have a spare sword with me, I'm a guard but im currently on break. Its gonna be a long way until we get there, though.__]-]
[-[__Oh! Our first monster is here! Here, take my spare sword. You'll need it. _]-]
[__Save point here?__]
