Interview

"Like I said, you'll be the one to wash the dishes in the morning, I'll be doing it in the evening!"

"I don't like washing the dishes when I'm about to be late going to school! So you do the dishes in the morning, I'll do it in the evening!"

"How dare you choose your schedule when I was the one who saved your life?! Paupers like you have no right to complain and you should render by my rules!"

"I don't even know how to do the dishes!"

The students squinted their eyes upon witnessing Erika's punch on Kairo's head. They prayed that his soul be alright.

It was a flowery Wednesday afternoon in Seito Gakuen, and the rain of cherry blossom just got ruined by Erika and Kairo's bantering. The two started going to school together after Kairo started living with Erika in her house. They also go home together. And now, they're fighting about a another topic.

"CAN YOU PLEASE KEEP BURGER-SAN AWAY FROM ME?! He's seriously disgusting."

"Wha---BURGER-SAN IS NEVER Disgusting. Do not insult my best friend."

"Is that how bad your loneliness is? Being best friends with an effin' plushy?"

"Aaaaahh, could you two just please stop fighting?! It's a beautiful day and you're ruining the cherryblossom vibe.", said Himari Matsuyama, which happened to be Erika's bestfriend. Himari and Erika had been together since they were 5 years old up to now which is enough for them to declare they are getting tired of each other's faces.

"And honestly, I still couldn't picture how Moriyama started living with you. I mean, aside from your home being impossible to be lived in to, how can you just take in a guy you just met?"

"He is pretty desperate, you see. I mean, how could I, a kind-hearted human being with the future of Japan in my hands, ignore such helpless animal?"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING AN ANIMAL?!!" Kairo said in protest.

"Still though, I'm quite surprised how Moriyama can actually talk like this. When he first arrived there in our classroom he was like.... Ummm... Aahh... I uhh... Hahaha... Hehee... And such." Himari said after sipping in her orange juice carton.

"He kinda sounds like a sheep that time." Erika commented.

"More like a goat, actually."

"Why is there even a debate on what kind of animal I would be?" Kairo gloomily said at the corner.

"But hey Erika, lemme change the topic. Have you heard about the Japanese History Club this year? Some people said Sayaka Fubuki will be taking over as club president."

"Fubuki-san?! THE Sayaka Fubuki-san?! Oh my gosh, then the club will be taken to a whole new dimension! I can't believe that at the very moment I enter this school, the Cultural Queen will actually be part of the club, not to mention, the president! Talk about destiny." Everyone knows about how extra Erika can be, but this time, she's beyond extra as she exaggerates her reaction to this news.

"Sayaka Fubuki, why does that name sound too familiar?" Kairo said while cupping his chin in deep thought.

"Everybody should know about Sayaka Fubuki, you dumbass. She is the top candidate on being married to the adopted prince. She's the lady-est lady of all the ladies, and even if she becomes the Empress instead of me, I will humbly surrender."

"Is even 'lady-est a word?" Kairo mumbled. "But I didn't know you wouldn't mind somebody else being the empress. I thought you wanted it that much." said Kairo who was now being enlightened by the ways of the world.

"My dream of being an empress consist of two parts, let me educate you. Aside from actually ruling Japan, I wanted to marry Mairo Akihito himself, the legal prince. It's not like I'm completely giving up on having Mairo-sama take over the throne. It's just that, if Kento Akihito actually inherits the throne, I'll let Sayaka Fubuki be his wife. If one of the halves wouldn't be fulfilled, then what's the point?" Erika said casually as if she said something any normal people would say.

"So what you're trying to say is.... If you'll get to achieve a particular goal, you wanted it to go your way?" Kairo asked.

"Exactly. Otherwise, it'll be pointless."

"You're really delusional."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

"Hey Moriyama, wouldn't you be at least curious of how Erika managed to get in to Seito Gakuen despite her status?" Himari asked mischievously as if it always has been a good conversation starter.

"You're right. It is kinda odd on how you actually got in here, Hatsugawa-san. I mean, this is a really prestigious school, let alone expensive." Kairo said in sudden realization.

"I just walked in and everyone accepted me as their own."

"Shinichiro-sensei sponsors her studies here in Seito Gakuen."

"No way. For real?! History-teacher-1B-adviser Shinichiro-sensei?"

Erika pouted because these people are ignoring her.

"Yeah! You know the one thing Erika is good at in her lifetime? About her being the Sage of Japanese History?-----"

"Why does it feel like the nickname was longer when you said it, Hatsugawa-san?" Kairo said blankly and this time, Erika ignored him.

"This girl right here defeats her opponents effortlessly in national quiz bees back there in middle school. That kind of fired up Shinichiro-sensei's passion in history, and as he grew fond of Erika, he actually sponsored her studies." Himari added.

"I didn't know Shinichiro-sensei would be the generous type. Well isn't that good for you, Hatsugawa-san?" the lad smiled happily which one couldn't tell whether he's being sarcastic or not.

"Enough about me, I wanna know how a homeless person like you managed to get into Seito." Erika folded her arms together with a smirk after shifting the topic to Kairo. Kairo then blinked a lot and thought of his side of the story.

"I just have a crazy rich uncle. That's why."

"Your lying." Erika commented.

"Well if I do am lying, what else can you draw in concluding my presence here in Seito?"

"Then why doesn't your 'crazy rich uncle' find you a place to stay instead?"

"Coz I couldn't actually manage living on my own."

"You're right.... You're a hopeless case when you're on your own."

"So that's enough explanation right? Next question."

"Why the lame-ass name such as Burger-san?"

---------------

"Achoo!"

"Whoa Shinichiro-sensei, are you feeling cold?" Maeno-sensei said from the sidelines while fixing his files.

"I don't know why but it suddenly got chilly."
