"Are you sure you packed everything? Did you bring your medication? It would be bad for us to trouble Hakuji again to deliver it to you at school," and [name] let out a soft sigh as she listened to her mother's voice. She could hear her mother trying to tell her boss to hold on for a while before commencing the meeting as she needed to ensure her daughter was doing alright without her by her side.

"Yes mother, do you hear it?" [name] asked as she grabbed hold of the bottle of pills and shook it, and she could hear her mother chuckling softly then as she realizes her daughter was trying her best to reassure her that she would be fine.

"The only reason why I forgot to take it was that you didn't wake up on time for your flight and didn't prepare breakfast too, so I had no choice but to be late and end up forgetting a whole lot of things," [name] spoke out as she started to put on her shoes as she was soon supposed to head to school, if not she will be deemed as late again.

"Okay then. I need to head for my meeting now, I'll see you as soon as I'm done here," her mother spoke out and [name] hummed in response as the phone was hung up and she pulled her shoes up properly, given how it was folded at the back of it.

She then looked towards the yellow color umbrella that had white-colored triangle patterns on it, and she grabbed hold of it, remembering just two days ago that Zenitsu had lent her his umbrella despite the pouring rain.

She soon stepped out of her house and smiled softly at the gentle morning breeze that greeted her and she proceeds to lock the door and soon started to walk down the path, heading towards school once more, for a new week.

This time, she wouldn't be late.

[name] soon walked past the fruit stall that her mother would always buy the fruits from and her eyes laid upon the sweet-looking peaches that were on sale. [name] then hummed a tune to herself and she smiled as she picked up two peaches and soon paid for them.

"Ara? I haven't seen Akane-san for quite some time now, how is she?" the lady asked and [name] laughed softly then as she grabbed hold of the plastic bag that held the peaches in them.

"Mother is currently overseas now for a business trip," [name] spoke out and the lady hummed softly and soon presented to her some strawberries as well, stating that it will be a gift from her to [name], and [name] couldn't help but accept it.

After all, it was her favorite fruit.

[name] soon reached the school gate and noticed how Zenitsu was standing there, checking and ensuring that the students do not violate the dress code, and his brown eyes soon laid upon [name] then. He had on a slight blush as he swallowed the lump in his throat as [name] came over with a smile on her face.

"Agatsuma-senpai, good morning," she said with a smile, and Zenitsu could feel his heart about to leap out from his chest at how beautiful [name]'s voice sounded in his head.

"Here, for lending me your umbrella that day," [name] spoke out as she held out the plastic bag that had peaches and Zenitsu accepted it, and realize that [name] had also handed him his umbrella back as well. He then watched as she took her leave and he couldn't help but allow his gaze to rest upon her once again.

Only to feel himself getting punched once again.

[name] then smiled to herself as she opened her shoe locker and proceeded to change out of her outdoor shoes into her indoor shoes, and she soon shut the locker and turned, noticing how Zenitsu was getting beaten by Giyuu once again, and she couldn't help but smile softly at the scene.

"Ah, [name]? You are [name] right? You are in my class!" [name] heard a voice and she turned to look and she noticed how a pair of golden eyes were looking at her, as well as two pairs of mint-green eyes as well.
