章 14: Chapter 14: It's a brand new school year!
It's currently April now, and the spring vacation is over. Currently, I'm at home changing into my uniform as I prepare for school.
"Fuu-chan! Shou-chan! Yuzu-chan and Rai-chan! Hurry up! If not, you're going to be late soon!" My mother shouted at us from the first floor as we hurriedly changed. Her way of calling us was embarrassing, and when I complained to her, she just laughed it off and said,"Who had grown up? You will always be a child to me."
My mother was the one who cooked breakfast for us. Although I could cook breakfast, I was never a morning person, so I let my mother cook for us. Her cooking has improved exponentially, so it didn't really matter who cooked either way since both are delicious in their own way.
Grabbing my bag lying on the floor, I zipped it up and went out of my room.
"Good morning, Fuutarou-kun." A brownish-pink haired girl greeted me. Shouko had her hair remained in the same style from when I first met her while she had grown slightly taller. Her personality didn't really change much either, she was still shy around others but was visibly happier than before.
"Good morning Shouko-chan." I greeted back before yawning again.
""Good morning Onii-chan, Onee-chan."" Two sleepy girls could be seen rubbing their eyes.
"Good morning Raiha-chan, Yuzuru-chan. Now hurry up and wash your face before mum scolds the both of you again." I told them.
After hearing my words, the both of them quickly rushed towards the toilet while Shouko and I went down.
""Good morning mum/Hanako-san"" Shouko and I greeted each other as we saw a purple haired beauty sitting down on a chair with a tick mark on her head while smiling with her eyes closed.
"I think she looks pissed." I whispered to Shouko who sat down next to me.
"Yeah I wonder why." Shouko whispered back.
""Itadakimasu~"" We said before eating the food present on the table.
Meanwhile, my mother was still sitting down with her eyes closed, seemingly waiting for someone. And sure enough, after a few minutes, our little sisters came downstairs.
"So?" My mother stared at them after they sat down meekly,"What took you so long?"
"..." Seeing them not replying, my mother just sighed and gave up. "Next time, just make sure that you girls hurry alright? Both of you are starting elementary school this year, so you can't laze around, all right?"
Our little sisters just nodded their heads before everyone else started eating.
"So, are all of you excited to start the new year?" My mother changed the topic and asked excitedly,"My children are all growing up so fast. It seemed as though you were just three years old yesterday."
Seeing her more excited than our little sisters made me speechless. My mother acted more like a child than us. Can't blame her though, Shouko and I were also excited to bring my little sisters to school. They were so cute!
After finishing our usual morning family talk, we all went out together except my mother who just went back to doing her house chores. "Mum! I'll be back later, but I will be back before dinner!"
"Are you going to the music room again?"
I grinned and nodded,"Yep."
"Shou-chan as well?"
"Yes Uesugi-san. Fuutarou-kun's piano skills are very good and relaxing, making it easier to study." Shouko smiled and replied. Ever since her hearing has recovered, she has enjoyed listening to music, especially mine after she overheard me practice on the piano once after school.
"Sigh...alright, make sure to bring your sister to the music room as well and come back together, all right?" My mother was lonely at home and had no one to talk to, so she wanted company. However, she was not going to reduce her children's enjoyment time just to let them accompany her.
"Hai! Bye mum."
"""Bye!"""
She just waved at us before going back in the house.

"So Raiha-chan, are you excited for your new school?" I asked her. I was glad that my mother decided to en-roll our sisters in the same school as us.
"Yes. I can't wait to meet and make new friends!" Raiha exclaimed excitedly.
"Yep! Let's hurry up, we don't want to be late on our first day, do we?" I informed them.
"Nope! Let's go!" Raiha rushed forwards together with Yuzuru as we just smiled at their antics.
*************
"Shouko-chan, we're in the same class again this year." After looking at the class list, I found my name along with Shouko's under class 6-D.
"Yes! Continue looking after me this year, Fuutarou-kun!" Shouko bowed her head slightly while smiling.
"Of course! Please look after me as well!" I replied back.
On the way to our new classroom, people started greeting us.
"Morning Uesugi-san!"
"Good morning Uesugi-san!"
"Have a good new school year!"
We greeted them back before reaching our new class. After reaching our new classroom, we recognised everyone from our class last year since our class didn't change.
"Morning Fuutarou-kun. Morning Nishimiya-san" Haruma greeted me and Shouko.
""Morning Haruma-kun.""
"Will our class be the same as last year?" Haruma asked.
"I think so. Since it's our last year here anyway, it would make no sense if we suddenly have a new student or teacher." I thought about it before replying.
"Umm...I think I saw the yellow-haired girl on the way here." Shouko interrupted.
"Ohh, that girl? Ever since we started going to the music room last year, she started following us, didn't she?" I recalled the past year's memories at the music room.
I wanted to play the piano but since we didn't have one at home, I decided to practice at school and Shouko decided to accompany me. Ever since then, we started going to the music room everyday after school and stayed there for a few hours before going back home for dinner.
We would do our homework there, and sometimes Haruma would join us. Afterwards, I would play the piano while Shouko just enjoyed the music there while reading her book or revising in the air-conditioned room.
However, a few weeks later, we started seeing a yellow-haired girl secretly follow us. At first I thought she was just another admirer of mine or Shouko, but I realised that she was there to listen to me play the piano.
'Is that Kaori? From Shigatsu wa kimi no uso? She's in this world as well?' I didn't really watch the anime last life since I don't really prefer music, but the anime was very popular, allowing me to know the general plot of the story. 'Friedreich's Ataxia? Was it that?' I didn't really know the story that much, but I didn't want her to have a sad ending, so I decided to save her when I've got the chance.

Spirits_everywhere I know Kaori had a crush on Arima from listening to him play the piano. But since it's MY fanfic, so I decided that he didn't exist. So Kaori got her inspiration from listening to Fuutarou's playing instead at the age of 11. A bit late but meh...it's an anime.
