Normal Point of View

Two years later

It's been a long time since the car accident, and Momoka had yet to know about it.

She now lived in the mansion near the Academy of Tootsuki, learning how to cook and bake again. The reason why and how she was in that mansion, was because she and her parents were actually suppose to live there as Momoka studied there for her Middle school years, but the closest relative she had ever since the death of her parents was her cousin who also studied in Tootsuki. The cousin took Momoka in, and they now both live in the Amaki Residence.

Though Momoka's cousin was almost never home since she liked to travel around, Momoka still had a few maids and butlers at the Mansion. Hisako and Erina sometimes visit also, to just bond with each other and learn how to cook or bake from each other. It wasn't like they considered one another as best friends or the like, but Momoka does consider them as close friends.

However, Hisako felt like the older sister of Momoka sometimes, cleaning up the mess she made or lecturing her when she troubled Erina. Even so, they love one another dearly.

"Momoka, are you ready?" The voice of a female was heard from the opposite side of the door.

There was no answer, so Hisako opened the door anyway, and was shocked to see Momoka still asleep.

"Oi, Momoka! Why are you still asleep?! It's our first day!!" Exclaimed Hisako as she ran around the very clean and tidy room. Nothing was out of place, yet the pink haired female felt like she might destroy something if she stayed for so long inside the room.

Groggily sitting up, Momoka yawns, stretching her arms, her orange hair falling mid back. "Hm? Hisako-chan? Why're here?" Casually, Momoka questions, lazily standing up from her bed. Even though she just woke up and everything, she finds it amusing that the person she looked up to as an older sister was panicking, inside her room, screaming bloody murder.

"It's our first day of school!" Shouted Hisako, "Yet you're not ready!"

"I took a shower last night, Hisako-chan," reassured Momoka, not seeming to find anything wrong at all. "I prepared all my things since last week, remember?" Reminded the older female, "And I can just make my food there at the extra kitchen."

Hisako was then in awe, not expecting this from Momoka at all. Momoka tends to be quite forgetful sometimes, and she's not the type to be ready for anything at all; yet right now, it seems like Momoka had switched her personality.

And as Momoka changed to her school uniform, Hisako smiles, knowing that Momoka has matured a bit and learned how to take care of herself through the years.

They exited the mansion in silence, none of them wanting to say anything at all to one another. When Momoka had seen a limo waiting outside her home, she laughs a bit, "So Erina-chan was also waiting for me. I have to apologize."

They entered the limo, and Momoka had caught Erina reading those kinds of books again. "Erina-chan, you and your manga!" Giggled the younger of the two, "You should lend me some of those from time to time," suggested Momoka, hugging her small backpack.

At Tootsuki, when you're still at middle school, there are times when you have to jot down notes, or so Erina had told Momoka. Keeping that in mind, Momoka had brought a few notebooks with her, and some pens and pencils as well, but she did not have breakfast and didn't have any lunch with her.

"... I-I will, when I finish it," flustered and embarrassed, Erina replied, face blushing red as a tomato. Nobody other than Hisako and Momoka knows about her reading manga, so she's always flustered when someone mentions it around her.
