"Oh it's because when I first met you today, I greeted you and I saw you that you tried to say something but you can't have the courage to do so. And then in the class, when our classmates tried to communicate you, you just stayed silent but you looks like that you want to try to do the same with them, but you couldn't. Am I right?"
As I said this, she didn't write anything on the board for some seconds as she was facing the board and I can't see her face clearly. But I know that she got flustered at my words because....
[SHOUKO KOMI: +5 AFFECTION POINTS]
"Um, Komi-san?"
As I called out to her, she didn't turned to me but she started to write on the blackboard:
'Actually I want to talk with people'
'Whenever I tried to open my mouth, the other people got nervous on that. Some kneeled in front of me while some just ran away from me'
'I thought that people hate me but as the days are passing I am believing in such thing because who wants to talk with someone, who even can't speak'
Yeah, that's true. It's just human nature. If one person is talking to someone and the other person is not speaking due to some reasons maybe he/she has same reasons as Komi-san but other person didn't even tried to find that.
Maybe I will do the same if I don't have this system.
'Back in middle school
I ate my lunches alone.
It's kind of painful.
I am envious of people who can talk and eat with their friends. I hate it so much so I tried to speak to others every day.'
'But my voice wouldn't come out. No matter what I did, it just wouldn't. It's as if I lost the ability to speak'
'I didn't know what to do.
How should I speak?
And after that, then what?
What if they reject me?
How can I speak to them again?
What if they think I'm boring?
How should I smile?
What if they don't want to be my friend?
What if they flat-out ignore me?
What if they think I'm wierd?
Will I stay like this for the rest of my life?'
'What should I do?'
Yes, this is what I am thinking, what should I say to her?...
As I was thinking about what to say, again, one of my ability got activate. The time stopped. And there are some screens appeared in front of me.
A) Oh, look at the time. I have something to do, see you later Komi-san.
B) Komi-san, you know, this is something you have to do on your own. But I will be there for you if you anything, as I am your friend.
C) You have me, Komi-san and I have you. So there's no need for you to get you friends, is there?
Oh thanks A.S., but what with these options? First one is clearly the one for me, if I want to run away from here, third one is 100% flirting, I mean who will say these cheeky lines (I know I always speak these lines...). Only second one is a meaningful one, so I will choose option B.
As I was going to tap the screen to select the option. Another new screen appeared below.
[CHOOSE CAREFULLY. IF YOU CHOOSE WRONG, YOU HAVE TO FACE CONSEQUENCES.]
WHY??
[AS YOU KNOW, IF ANYTHING HAPPEN TO ONE OF YOUR HEROINE YOU HAVE TO DO ANYTHING EVEN IF THAT IS NOT IN YOUR POWER]
Okay, now there will be these warnings also. Great, just great.
"Komi-san, you know this is something you have to do on your own..... But I will be there for you if you need anything, as I am your friend."
It looks like when she heard the first sentence she showed sad expression but as she heard me till last she, in last, smiled... Oh what a beautiful smile, you got there.
'Thank you'
'And sorry for taking your time and also you have to listen to my things. Sorry'
After writing this on the board, she bowed her head and started to looking down.
"Good grief"
I said this and started walking towards her, she slowly raised her head.
When I reached there, I stood in front of her, I raised my hand, put it on her head and started to patting her head. She, at first, looked surprised but as the time pass her face become all red. Ah, she got embarrassed, hmmm.

After that we chatted for some more time like how's the weather today to what we eat at dinner. But I don't mind as I have to do that at some point in the future so why not today. Then we say goodbye to each other.
Now, I am standing in front of my apartment, as someone stopped me from going inside.
"Kaneki-kun"
"Oh, good evening Yukinoshita-san"
"Hmm"
"So, is there anything you need from me?"
"Why are you coming this late?"
Should I tell her that I am with Komi-san or not...? Yukinoshita-san is also one of my heroine, so I don't know. Will she be jealous or just react like it's none of her business. But as far as I think she will react like latter.
Let's not tell her.
"Oh! Are you worried about me, Yukinoshita-san?"
"Huh, how can you come to that conclusion?"
"Well, you know you asked me like that kind of face..."
"No way. But just tell me. Older sister asked me to ask you if you got late"
"Oh, Haruno-san asked. Well just tell her that I got late because of something personal"
"Oh okay. But... Well, never mind"
"Well, how was your day Yukinoshita-san?"
"Fine, Yours?"
"Bad. Well later"
"Yeah, later"
And just like that, this concludes my day today. From this time till tomorrow morning, I don't have to do anything as I don't have to interact with them and vice-versa.
As I entered my apartment, I walked toward the couch and laid down on it, putting all my weight on it. Is first day of school always this hectic? Or is this because of system? Which means... from tomorrow every day will be a hectic one…? Great...
As I started to undress myself, I heard a ringing voice which is not from my smart phone but from the phone, Mr. Sakayanagi provided me on the day of entrance ceremony.
'Hello?'
'Oh, hello Kaneki Ren-kun. This is Mr. Sakayanagi speaking.'
'Good Evening, sir'
'Good evening, so how was your first day of school?'
'As you know, it was my first day in school of my life so I don't know how can I express this but I think it was okay.'
'Alright'
'...'
'Well I want to ask you for a favor.'
'Hmm... What is it?'
'You see, my daughter Arisu wanted to meet you…'
'I see'
'Yes'
'But is this the only reason why you called me..?'
'Hmm, well yes'
'I see'
'...'
'...'
'So, where and when?'
'She will be waiting at the school cafetaria, when classes will end, on Saturday.'
'Sir today is Monday. So why are you telling me today? You can tell me any other day also'
'Well, my daughter wants me to told you as soon as possible as I can. So...'
'Oh okay. I will meet up with her on Saturday''
'Thank you Kaneki Ren-kun'
'Hmm'
~Beep~ Beep~
If it's not for your help, for getting me enroll in your school, I will gratefully rejected your favor. But well, it's just me meeting with her, it's not like she is some maniac or something.
