"So, if you add this imaginary number here, and displace this number from left hand side to right, it's sign changes.

Then let's continue. We add up this with this, and then to get the value of x, we divide it in the right side. And that's how it is done.

So, did you all understand?"

In the classroom, Kotaro was teaching the young children mathematics. He himself is not that high attained person, but since he completed his graduation and have done further studies, his knowledge is plenty to teach.

"Sensei, it is too hard. I don't understand. All just looks letters to me."

'I understand that feeling.'

Kotaro just couldn't help but remember the school days. As you go up in mathematics, the numbers just disappear, and all left are the words and letters.

Sin, Cos, Cosec… Just how he get passed is still a miracle to him.

"Well, I kind of understand you. But still try to learn this."

"Aww…"

All of them growled in dissatisfaction. It was very boring, and all of them were kind of tired of studying.

"No growling. Persist and try to learn it."

"But sensei, I don't think I need to study. After all, I can still live like my father."

A boy stood up and replied to Kotaro. Looking at him, Kotaro remembered this boy who was forcibly bought by his parents to this school.

"…"

Kotaro put down the chalk and then sat in front trying to teach the children in front of him.

"Listen. To tell truth, you don't need too much knowledge to live a good life. As long you read and write, it is enough. But then… that's all you can do. Most of your parents are either farmers, or are businessmen. If you want, you can take over their job. But is that all you want to do?

Do you want to become a farmer? And do you want your descendants to do the same? I am sure many of you don't want, right? The reason your parents give me money to teach you all, it is so that you can advance. So, that you can reach a height in society your parents weren't able to.

That's why it is a advice from sensei. Never stop the pursuit of knowledge. Always try to look things through logic means. Why sky is blue? Why it rains? Why I get rashes? Why do I sleep?

Think about everything, and search for answers. Do you know that there is long iron caravan, very long that goes in a very fast speed giving out black smoke in top. And it runs without any animals. It is amazing to seat in that. It is called a train."

"Really, sensei?"

Many children were excited to learn that such a thing existed. They never know a thing that can go without animals.

"That's right. All of you never go out from the town that's why you all don't know. But in cities where there are too much people, it is used as a mode of transport. It can carry more than fifty peoples at once."

"Woah!!"

"Then how can someone make it? With knowledge. So, if you want to do something different, something that makes all people remember you for eternity you need to have knowledge. And that's why you should try to study."

Kotaro then looked outside noticing the time.

"It seems I have babbled too much. Well, the time for today has ended. You all try to solve the problems. And if anybody have any doubts you can ask me in next class."

And after that Kotaro looked all the children going out talking energetically about the train. Even the rebel boy was a bit silent, probably thinking about his future.

Even though he acted a bit rebel, Kotaro could see the maturity in the child eyes.

'This boy might become something great in future.'

"Kotaro-sama!"

"It seems you are here to meet me, Mitsuri."

Kotaro looked at the black-haired girl smiling happily. Looking at her black hair, Kotaro seemed to remember that Mitsuri Kanroji in reality used to have pink-green hair. Why does she have black hair? Did she dye it for normality?

"Mitsuri."

"Yes, Kotaro-sama?"

"Did you dye your hair?"

"H-How did you know?"

She was very shocked since she never expected him to find about it. Kotaro just smiled and touched her smooth hair and slowly moved his hand from her hair to her face slowly finally stopping at her cheek. He was touching her face softly, making her look at him shyly.

"Clean it. I want to see the real you. Since, we are about to get married there is no need of such things between us."

"Umm."

Mitsuri just shyly nodded at his intimate gesture. Kotaro just smiled never getting tired of her cuteness.

"Well since you have come to meet me from your town, then I guess it is a kind of my duty to show you, my town. Then…"

Kotaro stretched his hand ahead indicating Mitsuri to give her. Mitsuri shyly gave her hand and both of them grabbed each other hand.

"It's time for our date."

Both of their fingers interlocked each other and both of them started to walk under the eyes of people congratulating them.

'Is this love? What a wonderful feeling!'

Mitsuri who was naturally too shy, smiled beautifully making Kotaro who was looking at her stun a bit.

Mitsuri smiled most of the times, but her smile was out of happiness and shyness. It was in the realm of cute making him adore her.

But this time, the smile was something else. It was just…

'It's too beautiful.'

A smile so that pure making her very dazzling like an angel. Suddenly, Kotaro came in front of Mitsuri and hugged her.

"Huh? K-K-Kotaro-sama!! W-What happened?!"

Mitsuri suddenly got shocked since she didn't expect Kotaro to suddenly hug her.

"It's nothing. It's just… I don't want anyone else to see your smile."

"Huh?"

Poof!

A huge blush rushed up to her face making her red like tomato. She didn't have any words, so she just stayed in his embrace.

'So warm. This smell… So, this is Kotaro-sama's smell.'

"Hey, you love birds! Stop doing your romance in middle of the road!"

An angry man working shouted making both of them break from hug and embarrassed.

"Let's go or else he might become angrier."

Kotaro smiled and grabbed her hand and ran with her. Mitsuri also smiled and grabbed his hand more tightly as if never intending to let it go of her hand ever again and followed after him.

'I will follow you everywhere, Kotaro… no Danna-sama.'
