Chapter 044: Hairstyles

Higura had entered his house and sat down on his couch. He took out his laptop and began to write some more before his sister came out with a different hairstyle then normal. He decided to not acknowledge it and continued writing but Kokoro began to stand around trying to get Higura's attention while not being blatant about it.

"Haaa…What?"

"What do you think of my hair?"

"It's hair."

He continued writing and she stomped over to him.

"Don't you have anything else to say?!"

She slammed his laptop shut and so he stood up and left the room to go to his room. He locked his door and sat at his desk while Kokoro was yelling outside his door.

"I'm sorry! I was just hoping you'd say something else! Please forgive me!"

She continued on like that for a while before finally giving up and walking away. Higura continued writing and lost track of time. When he finally decided to take a break he realized that it was extremely late and that he had skipped dinner.

"Oh well. Time for bed I guess."

He turned off his laptop and crawled into his bed. The morning came and he got ready for school as normal. Kokoro was still using the new hairstyle she first used the day before but Higura still decided to not acknowledge it. He reached school and ran into Yoko at the shoe lockers. He was about to ignore her when he realized that she had also changed her hairstyle as well.

"I take you from you stopping you've decided to take in the beauty of my new hairstyle?"

"….No, I don't care what you do to your hair slut."

"I thought I asked you to stop calling me that!"

Higura walked away while doing a sarcastic wave and then saw Yunna who didn't know he was there.

'Oh god, why now…Wait…Why her too?!'

Yunna was also supporting a new hairstyle and it somehow made her look less chunibyo then normal. Before she noticed Higura he darted into a nearby class and waited until she was gone.

'It's too early in the morning to deal with her.'

He left the classroom and continued walking up to his class where he bumped into Ms. Sakamoto and fell to the ground along with her.

"Oh, I'm sorry Higura. Didn't see you there."

"Uh…Yeah…" 'Shit! The last time I had a one on one interaction with her was when she was drunk!'

She tried standing up but fell down again while grabbing her ankle. It was at this point in time that he realized that she also supported a new hairstyle.

'Okay why does everyone I know have a new style suddenly and happened to change it on the same day?'

"I guess I did something to it…Hey Higura?"

"….Yes?"

"Could you help me out and help bring me to the nurse's office?"

'I was really hoping she wouldn't ask that…But I guess I did cause this and I don't want to get a bad rep with my teachers besides of course the need of them thinking I'm not a do good student. Guess there's really no choice…' "Fine, but you'll owe me in the future."

"Thanks!"

He picked her up and slipped around the halls to avoid being seen by anyone and having new rumors spread that could potentially damage his current reputation.

"I don't know why but I feel like this has happened before…"

"You're imagining things!"

"Hm?"

She had a puzzled look on her face and tried sorting out why he acted that way but decided to leave it as it was. They reached the nurse's office and he opened the door without being seen by anybody on the way there.

'Yes! I'm in the home stretch! Now as long as nobo-!'

"Higura? And Ms.Sakamoto? What happened?"

"Egh! Why are you here Yui? Did something happen with your health?"

"I was just feeling a little light headed is all but I'm fine now. Do you need help with Ms.Sakamoto?"

"No, I'll be fine. Thanks for the concern though."

Higura placed Ms.Sakamoto on one of the beds and she waved him off to class with Yui. He took her and pushed her through the halls as they headed to class. He was about to say something but cut himself off when he realized that Yui also changed hairstyles. She had her hair over her shoulder which actually suited her very well and when he looked up again he saw Sota supporting a new look as well.

"….Are you wearing a wig?"

Sota's hair was extra long and when halfway down his back.

"Yes I am. What do you think?"

"What the hell??!!"

"…..Eh?"
