"Nee Yoshino-san.. let's go to my classroom and eat together. I brought you a bento I made"

My friend Sakura said.

After the bathroom incident, this girl popped out of nowhere. According to what she said she's my childhood friend and couldn't found me before because she's in 'A' building and another class.

A bright energetic girl with a brown hair and small figure. She's very cute, even comparable to this body, the main character.

To be honest talking to her was easier. She doesn't have a hidden personality like Riku or try to ask unnecessary things. No matter what she always supports me.

If she existed before in my world, my life would've been easier. I always desired for a friend that won't betray me till the end. And I knew in reality such a person doesn't exist. Sooner or later they'll talk about everything I told them and laugh at me.

"Here we are. You can sit here while the owner of this seat is absent" she smiled gently and opened the bento boxes from her bag.

It looks delicious. I'm getting used to Japanese food better than I thought. And having a lot of money in my account makes my life easier.

We started eating. Sakura was talking one sidedly all the time but it was comfortable. I had never spent such a nice time during my high school life. Therefore continuing this peaceful life is my first priority from now on.

"Excuse me?"

I heard a male voice behind me. A very impatient one.

"Ah, Saito-kun... sorry we were eating lunch and didn't notice you. This is my friend Asuka Yoshino I told you before. Fortunately we bumped into each other yesterday"

Seeing from how she was talking to him, it seems like this guy is her seat mate, owner of this seat. Just as I mentioned before, this world doesn't have an ugly people. At least not in this school.

This guy looked very tall, handsome /obviously/ like those Asian idols I saw in TV, and has a dark blue hair. This guy gives of a gentle aura but didn't bother to smile towards us like Riku.

"I'm sorry for taking your seat. I'll return to my class now."

"No need. I was just surprised..." he seems taken aback about my cold tone. I got up quickly and tried to leave until someone grabbed my wrist.

"W-wait! Let me introduce him to you. He is my friend Usato Saito"

As soon as she saw that name the familiar messages popped up again.

[You've encountered the second capture target, Usato Saito]

[Target information is added on your data]

[First route is currently in process. Making friendly relationship with other capture targets may effect the scenario]

I was surprised by the messages. This guy was one of the capture targets I had to win over. Now that I look at him he really is different from others. Since the system gave me a message I must keep my distance from him.

"Sorry, But I've to go back now. Let's chat later Sakura" I said and ran off. Actually I don't really care about effects on the scenario since I planned to fail this time. The reason I acted rude towards him was because of this mission.

[Mission: Go to your class in three minutes. Prize: none Penalty: -100 points]

"Hahaha, oh my god. Is it really true?"

"I want to hurry and see her face. I wonder if her poker face would be able to keep up with this..."

"She's shameless. Attending school even though her family is criminals.."

"Yeah, how can she act arrogant towards us?"

"Come to think about it she got first place amongst the first years right?"

"I heard she slept with the teacher.."

Every students were gossiping among each other while some where staring dumbfounded towards the board. Then everyone's attention turned to certain someone who just entered the classroom.

Asuka Yoshino.

The famous girl for being beautiful but very cold. She doesn't have any good relationship with her classmates.

The students made a way as she entered the classroom. It only took few moments until she noticed what was going on.

ASUKA YOSHINO'S MOTHER IS A  MURDERER!!

She read the words calmly. Students who were curious about what expression she would make was greatly disappointed because she didn't get angry or sad. There wasn't a hint of emotion on her doll like face.

On the board there was many pictures of her parents from six years ago. She read every bit of information with a calm eyes.

During that few moments class didn't make a single noise. Some of them were holding their breath, trying to guess what she would do next.

On the other hand Asuka was wondering about the new piece of information. Every main characters had a tragedy and this information was something she learned just now.

[System, is the information on the board true?] she asked through telepathy.

[Processing the information...]

[The answer: Yes]

[Copy the data of Asuka Yoshino to me]

[The process is beginning..]

[Please wait a moment..]

[98%....99%....100%...]

[Data copied. You can remember the past of Asuka Yoshino]

Asuka was ignorant about the past of this girl till now. She never thought it'll come in handy when she's attending a new school with new kids expect from Sakura.

She can already guess who's behind all of this.

The tragic past of the main character: Her father had an alcoholic problems and always abused the other family members. While protecting her mother and brother she accidentally pushed the drunken man and he fell on the shattered glass. It hit his neck directly and the man died on the spot.

Afraid of ruining her daughter's future her mother took all the blame and sent to prison. She was separated from her brother and sent to
an orphanage.

It was truly a tragic past, very ill suited for the main character.

It wasn't the past of the main character, it was the woman inside the body, Ariana's past when she was 12 years old girl.

The difference was her mother didn't took the blame. Her mother told the cops that he slipped on the floor. There was a large amount of alcohol in his body so police also claimed that it wasn't murder.

Ariana doesn't know about Asuka's family that much. It isn't even her parents and they also look totally different from her family on the newspaper.

But anger was boiling in her chest. The source was unknown. Thus she wanted to kill everyone who is making fun of this heroic mother of Asuka.

She stared towards certain guy who is at the back of the class with a huge grin. The atmosphere between then was tense.

'This guy just bought himself a free ticket to hell'
