Chapter 1: Awkward Encounter!

I am Kazaha, Kazaha Kouji first year high school students that's come to Tokyo to study at first I don't have any knowledge about Tokyo but still come here for study I rent an apartment to live near my school but everything was going well until one day...

As I was chilling in my apartment in the evening playing game on my phone I play this game called "Geomatry Dash" it's a game where players just tap on the screen for a block (player) to jump and avoid object that's throw to the player it's a hard game but still, I seem to get addicted to it and play it all the time

But then I hear a door bell at my door I play for a few seconds until my block dies and I put down my phone stretching my arms before walking to the door but a second I know something...

My place where I rent this apartment people or children usually doorbell prank at stranger house I look back at the door before turn around to walk back to the sofa but then another door bell ring I quickly look back at the door I hesitate a bit before walking to the door and try to look who there through the door peephole

I see an unfamiliar face... It looks like a girl in black wearing a white jacket and holding her suitcases her face is blank and calm looking at the door before she hits the door bell again

I then pull out the keys but accidentally drop the keys I then quickly pick it up trying to find the right key and eventually I finally unlock the door and open it gently and notice she is still standing there with a blank face

"You're Kouji-san right...?" She speaks calmly as she looks at my face

"Yes I-...!" I was about to answer her but stopped for a moment to try to find the right words to answer her

I don't speak much to a girl because I feel nervous when talking to them some sort like that or feeling stress out and in my secondary school I hadn't made any a girl as a friend of mine

So... This girl is standing in front of me here is the first girl that's currently talking to me. After almost 4 years I talked to a girl in my life time

I am still finding words a few moments I then think that I am making the situation a bit awkward for me and this girl but she still waits for me to answer patiently

I think I should answer her in the most normal way when I talk to my friends I mean "male friends" but HOW!? The girl here is female not male!!

After a few moments I was able to speak in the most normal tone "Yes I am Kazaha!! Kazaha Kouji the owner of this... Ehh" I then walk out of the door and look at the apartment number it's 103 "and here! I am the current owner of this 103 Apartment room!" I smirk and cross my arms proudly

But inside what the heck I just do!? How did I think of that talk??? The talk makes this conversation more awkward than before and what was that walking out the door to see what the number of my apartment is... Well this part I cannot lie that's I forgot my apartment number actually but why did I do it so dramatically...

The girl was looking at me and answered her to the part I walked out the door to see the number of my apartment She stared at me blankly I could feel the awkwardness of this going... But I wonder what she would react to my answer... Will she feel annoyed by me or would said I'm an Idiot!? I'm sweating waiting for her response

She let out a small sigh before she said "you don't need to be that's dramatic..." She said calmly "So you're Kouji-san... The owner of this apartment room is currently right...?"

Thank god she didn't say anything that I was thinking about earlier but she just reacted calmly to my response but there is another problem how should I answer again... Oh no why I think that is just a simple yes/no question this shouldn't be a problem

"Yes I am!" I speak in a normal tone

Good enough I don't go dramatically like earlier

The girl nods acknowledge my response she then put down her suitcases resting her arms a bit as she put down I notice she is also wearing a backpack behind her I wonder why she brings a suitcase and a backpack... Well don't tell me that she was leaving her house and try to find a place to stay overnight!? No no I think it's true

I think she is just a neighbor next door or something that wants to come to say hi but why does she have a suitcase and is wearing a backpack behind her!?

As I was wondering again she then asked again "Well... Since I'm here now I would like to introduce myself..." She say blank

"I'm Fuyuko, Fujimori Fuyoko..." She bows gently as she introduces her name

Okay... She said her name... Her name is quite different from the Tokyo name here but back to the main point how would I respond now!? Okay just calm down don't go dramatic please brain do as I said! This time will go fluently!

"Oh okay... But ... But why is your NAME different from HERE?" I respond calmly but ...why on earth emphasize the word "NAME" and "HERE"!? It goes so well when I don't emphasize those words!!!

She notices the words I just said but she doesn't mind she then answers calmly to my question "Well... I am from another place in so my name is quite different from here..."

Ohhhhh she from another place got it now back to me to respond... Deep breath Kazaha you can do it!

"Oh okay... But why are you here in front of my apartment...?" I ask but this time go fluently like I hope!

She then spoke calmly before bowing again "The apartments are full and most of them are adults... so I don't have a place to stay so I was thinking..." She stopped a moment

Wait wait don't tell me this is going to happen to me this evening!? This isn't true right!?????

"Would let me stay with you... Throughout my time in high school...?" She asked in her calm tone

This really happens!? I thought she was leaving her family to find a place to stay!! Ugh no no I didn't think of that I thought that she is a neighbor of mine just come to say hi but she is actually finding a place to stay wait! So my theory is true she was escaping her family to find a place to stay I am a genius!

Back to the response part... I think I got this during our conversation I got this conversation go more fluently than I expected except the introduce part... Okay Kazaha you got this just say yes or no and it will be done! Mission complete successful!

Huh? Why should I say no I will say yes immediately as an answer for her!

"YES I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOU OUTSIDE MY APARTMENT BYE AND SEE YOU LATER!" I slowly walk into the door and close it immediately as I look at my apartment smiling and close my eyes thinking I said yes and it was doing well there... But something is wrong...

I then opened back my eyes and realized... I said yes but the last part wasn't in the plan I then quickly opened the door again to look for her before it was too late

"Hey I didn't mean-..." I got stopped when she was actually sitting down next to the pot of flowers I planted she then looked up at me with her blank face but there was a hint of annoyed?

I look at her a bit then speak in a calm tone "Hey I didn't mean that's what I was saying I would like to have you in my apartment..." I was sweating hard when I looked at her hoping to get a good response from her

She then stands up and brushes off the something on her skirt before she looks at me again with a calm face as I expected her to say thank you or something like that she just grabs back her suitcases and moves into my apartment without saying anything

I just stand there awkwardly then finally realize that's she already inside my apartment I then turn back and go straight to my apartment and see her is putting down her suitcases and taking off her jacket and put it on the sofa she also take off the backpack she was wearing almost all the time and she start stretching out her shoulder

As she stretches she looks back at me with her blank face then she says "Oh... By the way where is the bathroom?"

"Uhhhh is on your left at the corner in the hallway..." I speak calmly but somehow I just speak normally there It feels straight to say it like a normal person when I talk to a girl

The girl nods and opens her first suitcase takes out her clothes and I then look around not trying to peak on her... Clothes I blush a bit at this scene but still compose myself to this situation

She then finished choosing her clothes and she grabbed her clothes and closed her suitcase and walked to the bathroom not notice me looking away at the bathroom door and I could hear the showering sound in there

I think everything is going to be fine after she goes to the bathrooms... But I notice my bathroom is out of shampoo! And how could she wash her hair!? I don't want to speak this to her because I am so afraid to say that no no why I think of that thought!? I'm a pervert or something

I then sit on the sofa relaxing my head a bit not thinking of shampoo as I relaxing I look at the the owl looking clock in the room notice it's 6:36 PM now and I look outside it's almost dark now I then stand up to walk to the kitchen and take cook some noodle but suddenly the door of the bathroom sound open

I then turn back and look at it and see the girl name Fuyuko is in her pajama I then jump suddenly in surprise to see a girl in pajama for the first time like a creature I first discover in the universe

She looks at me and tilts her to the side a bit and looks at me blankly while holding her towel She seems not sure why I am surprised to see her in this outfit she then asks "What's so surprising about Kouji-san?" She ask curiously

I still look at her and I start sweating again... I again... Don't know how to respond to that question!! How can I answer??? I think I would respond to her like "Because the first time in my life I see a beautiful girl dressed in pajamas like you~" no no no how the heck I think of that if I say that I would die!

Okay okay I think I got my words correctly... Kazaha! Be nature as possible and respond normally...

"Uhh.. well-"

"Oh... By the way where can I sleep...?" She ask

She just stopped me from answering her oh well at least I don't have to answer that question I then peak my head up scan around the house to look for a room that she could sleep in

"Well... There is a spare room next to me at the opposite side of the bathroom..." I speak calmly but there is a hint of stress in choosing words in my stalemate

The girl then looks back and nods acknowledge by my statement she then walks back to the hallway and looks from the bathroom door to the room that's opposite it she then opens it as I walk there also

The room is filled with dust and there are some shelves on the wall a closet in the corner and a few boxes of course it would be my item in those boxes!

The girl scans around the room taking notice of the things in the room she then looks back at me and says blankly "I would rather sleep on a sofa than this room..."

Heh!? She just criticized the room! That's the room I used to store things not to sleep you know that... Well actually I didn't say to her yet so she thinks it's dirty is understandable

But I agree with her that this room is dirty as hell I usually store my stuff here when I first rent this apartment and I didn't notice this room was a mess at this moment

How to respond now... I think for a moment not knowing what to say yet but then I find the right words to say to her now I hope this goes well as usual

"So... You want to sleep on the sofa huh...? Let me get you a blanket and pillow for you!" I said then walk to my room taking things for her to sleep but I can't help but feel her sharp glance toward me I sweating when I feel that

After that I bring out a pillow and a blanket for her at the moment I look around notice she not there I look around the room not seeing her any where until I somehow slipped and fall to the floor make a huge lound crash

I then sit up thanks fully I was holding the pillow and put it at my face before I fall freely to the ground but it's still hurt I rubbing my forehead after the fall then I look up and see Fuyuko is standing in front of me with her blank face

"Where was you...?" I said

She tilts her head a bit then I smell something and yes it is definitely the smell of noodles! The only food here I look at the table and notice two bowls of noodles are there!

"I just made some noodles..." She speak blankly

I quickly stand up and hop onto the sofa and look at the bowl of noodle this night nothing can stop me eating this delicious bowl then I start eating like I have starve few months although I was here two weeks as I eat I didn't notice that Fuyuko has already sat next to me but I then realized that this noodle is more delicious than the noodle I made before it's a bit spicy, and salty than I made this really a good noodle

I then drink the last drop of the bowl before putting it down on the table feeling great to taste this noodle

I then turn left and see Fuyuko is also eating her noodle I then turn back to the clock and notice it's 7:14 PM I then close my eyes a bit... But suddenly I realized...

A girl is sitting next to me!????? I then become sweaty and feel hard to breathe as I notice the distance between me and her is very close almost touching!! (Actually it's long as a pillow LOL) What do I do!? How would I talk now!? Oh no I'm about to unconscious again!!

"Kouji-san... Does the noodle I make it's good...?" She asked blank while still eating her bowl

I then look back at her sweating more my voice is shaking but I still manage to find words to answer her sudden question

"Ehhh... Yes It's very good,...! Ah ehh... Very tasty also... Ah um..." I stop for a moment trying to find other words and continue to answer her!

Fuyuko noticed my nervous reaction as she finished her bowl she then picked up mine and her bowl stood up and walked to the kitchen to wash it

I was still thinking about the words I should say but I shook my head and noticed she was already going to the kitchen to wash the dishes I let out a relaxed sigh thinking I passed it but I was thinking I was going to pass out there

I then stand up and look at her "I will go to my room!" I speak calmly after what happened

Fuyuko then look back at me then she nods acknowledge my stalment before she continues washing the dishes again I then walking to my room open the door after I enter my room I close it and open the light before walking to my bed and look at the ceiling wondering do I forgot something or not

I look around my... Uh my "cleaned room" which is a mess where things are on the floor such as books, pens or papers all over the room I then close my eyes thinking I haven't forgotten anything then start sleeping tomorrow it's sunday after all so there's no study I have to do...

But I still wonder about the girl just moving into my apartment... She seemed calm and emotionless when I thought a bit after my awkwardness conversation with her she didn't mind my personality when I was around her

I shake my head what I'm thinking I have to sleep now! I then fall asleep hoping I will have a normal day tomorrow...

. . . About 15 minutes later . . .

"GOD I FORGOT MY PHONE!!" I then quickly rush out the room open the door and the lights are out then I quickly find a switch near there I put my hand on the wall and walk while my hand is still on the wall try to find the switch then I notice...

I am touching someone's hand!??? It is a ghost!? I then jump out and run back to my room immediately and close the door and hop onto the bed pull the blanket and start sleeping again I am so frightened to touch someone's hand this late night it has to be a ghost I swear!!
