2.4-Who are you?

I saw the boy from the elevators.

He was about 160? 165 cm at most, skinny, and short.

"Ah, h-hello! We met again didn't we."

"Yeah."

"I'm very sorry for earlier, I should've watched myself. I was lost on the way, and I happened to meet some bad people along, they started demanding me for money."

"Oh, is that so."

I need to get my allowance as soon as possible, it's already 5:30.

"Have you not gotten your allowance yet?"

"Oh, no."

"Well, that's a problem! Do you want me to go with you? You know, as a thank you? And I may not seem like it, but I'm a second year you see!"

"Um, well..."

I guess it'll be alright to let him go with me. I could ask things that I wouldn't know as a first-year.

"Sure, let's go."

"Yay! Then let us go to the first floor!"

"Okay..."

"By the way, what's your name? My name's K."

"K? Your full name is K?"

"No no. I have a last name, but I would rather be called by that."

"Alright. My name is Anae Katsuno."

"Katsuno, huh? Are you Trisnunian?"

Trisnun, olden-day Japan. They mixed and named up random names to the countries that have existed in the past.

"Ah, yes."

"I'm Garndellian, nice to meet you, Katsuno."

Garndellian, the olden day France. It is said that they once had an astonishing culture. Cheese, baguettes, and amongst other cultural things.

"Nice to meet you too, K-."

"If you call yourself a true Trisnunian, call me by K-senpai!♡"

"Uh, what?"

"Go on, call me by, S-e-n-p-a-i♡"

"K-"

"-K-senpai"

"AHAHAHAHAHA, good good, now keep on calling me by that name!♡"

As we took the elevators, K-senpai was very curious about me.

"Hey hey Katsuno, why are you so gloomy all the time?♡"

"...For no reason."

"Oh, really? C'mon, try smiling for once!"

"No, I wou-"

Just then K-senpai started pulling my checks as he attempted to make in a smile.

"Why not? It's natural for people to smile sometimes, you know."

Ding!

My escape route appeared and I went out the door right away. K-senpai chuckled and went right in front of me, led the way to the mailboxes right after.

"Here it is!♡"

The mailboxes were lined up by the dorm numbers. Mine was at the beginning of the boxes. The boxes were small and thin, but enough to put a pair of shoes inside.

I took out the envelope that was placed inside the box after I opened it.

Exactly 200 dollars, in cash, and 4 papers of 50 dollars. This was probably the easiest way to distribute the money amongst dormitory students.

K-Senpai headed out the entrance after he saw me get the money. And left saying,

"Be careful with that, you might get robbed by the painters on loose♡."

Painters on loose, huh.

I went back to my dorm and looked around the room if there was any more letters about this room. Turns out there were only two.

On top of the bed, a pillow, with a nicely folded blanket was placed on the side. I laid down on the bed for a moment.

I should get some food, it's 6:35. I heard that there was a diner on the...50th floor. I should head there for today.

I took the elevators to the 50th floor.

Ding!

The door opened and I was in shock, with how many people were here. Of course, it's 6:40, a lot of people went here for dinner, but I didn't know this many were here.

"You alone?"

A lady who seemed like a chef asked me.

"Yes."

"Sit over there in the corner, but first, whatchu' want for today."

"I'll get the..."

Oi oi, I haven't even seen the menu yet. I looked over at the tables and saw many varieties food served on the tables.

"...Sirloin steak."

"How you want that to be?"

"Medium rare."

"Ya' know, a lot of students here don't know those crappy fancy stuff. They enrolled in this school for their talents after all. But ya' seem to get it right away. Ya' grew up rich or some?"

"No, not at all."

"Okay then, go ahead and someone else will bring the food for ya'."

I took my steps towards the table empty and waited silently until the server went to deliver my food.

I thought that food here wouldn't taste much good, but it was to my liking. I should come back here sometimes.

"HEY WHO'S THIS GIRL OVER HERE? AREN'T YOU THAT BITCH FROM EARLIER?!"

Hm?

"P-please stop."

"AHAHA. Nice talk for a girl who hit me in the head!"

Two girls were arguing in the middle of the tables, one with short, brown hair and the other with an attitude.

I finished my dinner and paid for it quickly with the cash I got. After, left the place as the ruckus happened.

As I went towards the elevator, I saw two boys chatting around right next to me.

"Did you see those two girls?"

"Oh, the second years you mean?"

"Yeah, the girl shouting, Mary-san was sure loud, but her chests were pretty big seeing them in person ya know?"

"Damn right. The girl right next to her? What's her name again..."

"Satone? Is that right? She's cute but..."

"Didn't she sleep with some guy and got caught by the admins?"

"No.no. I heard that she got raped by a student and..."

"Hey. Excuse me? Can you give me more details on those rumors?"

"Eh? Who are you?"

"I'm in the same class as...Satone."

"W-well, you see, there are so many rumors about her, she's almost as if a player. But then those rumors aren't even proved so-"

Ah, is that right.

"Okay then, bye bye."

I left the scene when the elevator doors came open.

"Wait, we're going up t-"

"I'm too fat. You guys are not going to fit."

"Huh? What do you me-"

Bam!

The doors shut and I was alone. Finally.

Satone huh?
