Chapter 5: NEZUMIMayu was surprised as she sees the pocket camera. It was her precious pocket camera and it belongs to her. Although, she remained silent because she would not want to be found out that she is the stalker. ‘Comfort Room, I need to go to comfort room, ‘Mayu declared and stood up from her seat. She walked toward the door. Jurina in concerned, asked Mayu is she is fine and noticed that Mayu kind of looked pale. Yuko asked Mayu too.
‘I’m fine. I just need to go the comfort room.’ Mayu replied and gave them a forced smile.
‘If you ever feel sick, the clinic is just down on the ground floor.’ Takamina suggested.
‘Thank you.’ Mayu took her bag with her and bowed down before leaving the club.
‘Pheuw…’ Mayu let out a heavy sigh as she walked at the corridor. She could not bear to stay longer inside the club as she saw her camera. It might cause her a trouble if she suddenly says anything about the camera. It will put her in suspicious. ‘This is bad, really bad. They might discover that I owned that camera sooner or later,’ Mayu thought herself. Instead of going inside the restroom, she just passed it as if she never saw it. She walked a little further and opened a door, which would bring her to the rooftop.
As soon she reached the rooftop, she lied down on the rough cement. She opened her bag to get her chewing gum and start to wear her earphones to play music as she enjoyed the blue sky. ‘Yadda… I do not feel like going back. I should message Jurina that I’ll be going home instead.’ Mayu opened her bag again and took her phone. After she sent the message, she closed her eyes and sleep.
…
Meanwhile in the Photography Club…
Yuki is still browsing the pictures closely, expecting any clue that would lead her to the mysterious owner. The others chatted about their goals after they graduate in high school. Yuko told them that she would attend a school that specialize photography. While Rena, she might take-in-charge of their family business which is the Matsui Melon Pan bakeshop after she graduate. Jurina on the other hand, have not decided yet, but she told them that she would likely to attend a University after, to pursue a law.
Yuki was amaze to both Acchan and Takamina. Atsuko is actually the granddaughter of the school owner. ‘Now that explain why the student council is decorated with very expensive looking furniture and the school’s name Maeda Private High School,’ Yuki said. Moreover, for Takamina, the Takahashi family serves the Maeda family for many generations she is somewhat a bodyguard to Acchan. However, Acchan explained that she never treat her a as a bodyguard and treat her as a very close best friend and sibling. Acchan even told them a story how Takamina was so clumsy and would always disapproved of drinking milk and would likely get punished by her parents. ‘That’s why she never grew an inch,’ Acchan said and they all laugh except for Takamina who just show an annoyed face.
Just then, Yuki suddenly noticed the time and Mayu has not back yet. She looked at her wristwatch to see the current time. She was sure that it has been 15 minutes since Mayu left. ‘Is she lost? Or felt sick? Uh… why am I worrying about her in the first place?’ Yuki thought, since it was not normal for to do so. However, Yuki came up with an answer to her question. It is normal for her to worry a little since they are both in the same club.
~Koisuru FOOCHUN KUKKII mirai wa sonna waruku nai yo Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! ~ ‘What’s that sound?’ Takamina asked.
‘It is AKB48’s new single!’ Yuko said in surprise.
‘Ah! It’s my phone,’ Jurina opened her bag to find her phone.
‘New members and are a fan of AKB48, this club is growing happy,’ Yuko said delightedly and asked them each who their oshimen are. Yuko started fist. ‘Oshirimen is KojiHaru’ Yuko smirked, ‘All hail KojiHaru bewbs’
‘Pervert…’ Rena shook her head and then told her oshimen’s name, ‘MatsuJuri is my oshimen.’
‘Woof~ MatsuRen for the win!’ Jurina said enthusiastically while she opened her phone.
‘Mine is OshiYuu,’ Acchan said, ‘her jokes and gags are really funny compared to AKB48’s midget fail jokes.’
‘My oshimen is better than all of you!’ Takamina said proudly. ‘TakaKai, the general manager of all 48 groups. She is very talented.’
‘They share the same height, that’s why,’ Acchan explained why Takamina chose TakaKai as her oshimen and they laugh. ‘How about you Yuki? Any interest in AKB48?’
‘A little,’ Yuki answered. ‘I’ve known WataMayu and bought her first single– ’
‘Ah! The message was from Mayu,’ Jurina cuts in as she read them the message from Mayu, telling them that she had gone home because she is not feeling well.
‘Ah, please tell Shiriri to take care.’ Yuko said and Jurina nodded and message Mayu back.
Yuki was not surprised by the sudden news since she already thought that Mayu might be sick. She just hoped her fast recovery and then Yuki continued browsing the photo while everyone continued chatting.
Blowing the strands of hair that covered her face, Yuki muttered hopelessly, ‘There is no way a clue to be able to find the stalker’s name here…’ It made Yuko and the other furrowed their eyebrow. They all have the same thought.
‘What do you mean by stalker’s name in that camera?’ Yuko curiously asked Yuki.
‘Like I said before, this camera was not mine. I found it when I accidentally bumped some weirdo.’
‘Meaning, the weirdo you bumped with is that camera’s owner?’ Rena asked and she nodded.
‘Then why does it have pictures of you? Takamina was confused.
‘Simple, the owner of that camera is actually stalking Yuki,’ Acchan explained.
‘Now I get it. The stalker, the weirdo Yuki bumped to and the camera’s owner was just one person.’
‘TakaMidget, so slow like her height so slow to get tall,’ Yuko mumbles.
Yuko borrows the camera and check its physical structure that may give a clue of whoever owned it. ‘This camera, I’ve never really seen a model like this before. It might be a limited version from other country.’ Yuko continued to check the photos for the nth time and Rena moved closely to see the photos.
‘It looked like the some photos were taken back during the first day of school.’ Rena wondered. Yuki agreed that is what she noticed too as she browsed the photo before. After Yuko saw all the photos, she removed the battery to see any engraved names or any paper attached inside that would indicate the camera’s owner on the battery holder. Yuko suddenly smiled as she did what is right. ‘Bingo!’ Yuko jolted out. All of them looked bewildered by her sudden discovery.
‘Look what I’ve found, a name. It’s Nezumi’ Yuko show them the battery holder inside the camera that has a name engrave in it.
‘Nezumi?’ Takamina asked, ‘not really a familiar name to me.’
‘Ah…’ Jurina hummed as she held her chin and looked at the ceiling. ‘Where did I hear that name before? Somewhat familiar.’
‘Nezumi was the name and it should be no mistake that she’s a student here, right? How about we checked all the student files here?’ Rena suggested and asked Acchan at the same time.
‘I would love to help, but I don’t know if the student council is allowed to see the students’ profiles,’
‘No, it’s ok,’ Yuki said with a smile. ‘I don’t want to give harm in student council.’
‘I would love to help but of course I need to follow rules too.’ Acchan explained. ‘But I’ll ask my grandmother for it.’
‘Un.’ Yuki nodded. ‘Thank you.’
‘But not today, okay?’ Acchan laugh. ‘It is already 5 in the afternoon and offices are closed now.’
‘Eh? Already 5pm? Should we better head home now?’ Takamina asked.
‘Time sure moves fast when you are enjoying, so many great things happened today, I guess.’ Rena smiled.
‘Yadda… I’ll be missing my Rena-chan…’ Jurina made a sad puppy eyes. Rena just shook her head.
‘Well… We better start fixing the mess here before we go home,’ Yuko said and everyone agreed. The moved the chairs back to its place, picked up the trashes and removed the party designs Acchan and Takamina first leaved, they would still lock the student council room. The rest waited for Yuko to lock up the club. After everything was done, everyone went home, except for Yuki who told them that she’d be waiting for her friend.
As usual, Yuki came first before Sae. She was not surprise since it always happened. While waiting for her best friend, Yuki suddenly thought about her allowance getting all low. She really needs to get a part-time job and looks for a cheap apartment near her school, so she would be able to save more money. ‘Since, tomorrow is Saturday I might look for a job,’ Yuki muttered.
Just a few minutes later, Sae arrived at their meeting place with Sayaka.
‘Yuki!’ Sae called.
‘Ah, good afternoon Sayaka-sempai,’ Yuki greeted Sayaka; completely ignoring Sae. ‘I hoped my friend did great in her first day in your club.’
‘Good afternoon to you too, Yuki.’ I’ll have Sae tell you her first day, instead. I know you’d laugh.’
‘I think I shouldn’t’ Sae whispered.
‘Anyway, have safe trip on your way home. And one more thing,’ Sayaka eyed on Sae before she walked away, ‘Miyazawa Sae be late again or I’ll increase it by 10 times.’
‘Y– Yes!’ Sae said nervously.
‘I think I just know what happened. I can picture it.’ Yuki laughed.
‘Whose fault you think it its?’ Sae grimaced.
‘Alright, I’m sorry…’ Yuki said. ‘Let’s head home shall we?’
…
Meanwhile back to the rooftop where Mayu fell asleep.
Mayu who was sleeping was awaken by the chirping of the birds. ‘Ah… I fell asleep.’ Mayu rubbed her eyes and stretched her body. After that, she looked over her phone’s wallpaper in which it was Yuki’s face. ‘Well… Good afternoon, my princess Yuki.’ Mayu giggled but eventually stop fangirling over her phone instead; she fixed her belongings and walked down quickly before the school gates closed. ‘Ah… Tomorrow is Saturday, meaning I cannot see her. I wish luck will be on my side tomorrow, so I’d be able to see her even during weekend…’
Is luck really on Mayu’s side? Or, the luck Mayu wished for is in contrast a bad luck for Yuki?
