“
Hiks… hiks… mama, where are you?”
A little black-haired girl is walking and sobbing along the corridor. This is her first day visiting a orphanage with her parents. She was distracted by a butterfly and chasing for it, don’t realize how far she went, she got lost back at the garden.
(sound of piano playing)Hearing the sounds of piano inside a room beside her, she wiped her tears and took a peek. Inside it was a ponytail-haired girl playing a beautiful tune. She opened the door slowly try not to disturb the other girl’s playing. She went closer and closer and sat at the chair behind the other girl, enjoying the tune she is playing.
Few minutes past, and the girl finished playing the piano. The black-haired girl claps her hands as a compliment but it shocked the ponytail-haired girl. The girl turns to face her then she runs away to the exit. The black-haired girl is afraid of being alone and chasing her. They’re running along the corridor in the back garden.
“Wait for me! I don’t want to be alone!” the black-haired girl shouting.
The ponytail-haired girl raised her pace and ignored the other girl behind her.
“Aghhh…” the black-haired girl sprained her ankle and fell on the ground “
Hiks… my leg hurts”
The ponytail-haired girl stopped running and turn to look at the girl behind her. Looking at the girl’s pain expression, she run back to where the girl was, “Can you walk?”
Black-haired girl wipes her tears and try to stand up. It really hurt that she can’t keep her balance and began to fall. The other girl reaches to hold her. Without saying anything, she turns her back towards the girl and carrying her on her back.
“Eh? You don’t have to piggy back me. I… can walk…” black-haired girl feel embarrassing to be carrying by the girl who was shorter than her. But the girl didn’t say a word and keep walking.
“Aren’t I heavy?” black-haired girl asked, and receive the same treatment… silent…
After walking for sometime, black-haired girl is trying to start a topic again, “My name is Maeda Atsuko, just call me Acchan. What is yours?”
The girl still didn’t say a word and keep walking. Walking and walking, she finally stopped in front of a room. She put down Acchan and supports her to stand steadily. She took out a handkerchief and wrapped it around Acchan’s ankle. “It’ll be better” the ponytail-haired girl finally spoke.
Suddenly the door beside her opened, Acchan’s parents and the orphanage’s owner walk out from the room. “Acchan! Where have you been?” her mother saw her ankle wrapped by handkerchief. “Are you got hurt?”
Atsuko lifts up her arms to ask for a hug from her mother. She hugs her tightly, “I’m sorry, I was lost on the way chasing for a butterfly” She leaned back and give her mother puppy eyes to beg for forgiveness, “I sprained my leg while running. She carried me along the way here”. Acchan pointed the ponytail-haired girl.
The ponytail-haired girl bowed to them and then run away without saying a word.
“Wait! Can I know your name?” Acchan’s calling.

// Finally, the sun rises. I am sitting on Acchan’s balcony. For you to know, before she can see me, I always sat beside her and watch her sleeping… but know it’ll be weird if she knows. She’ll think that I am weird or something pervert, to watch her sleeping. From the day she saw me, I always spend the night at the balcony without her knowing.// Minami is smiling by herself.
“Wait…!” Acchan's screaming.
Minami heard Acchan’s screaming and hurriedly went inside her room to see what happen.
// She is still laying on her bed, I guess maybe she is having a bad dream.//“What a weird dream…” Acchan rub her eyes and sits up from her bed. Her face is pouting, trying to recall the dream she had. Their face is just an inch away when she sat up. Her eyes become wider when she saw Minnami.
“KYAA!” she throws Minami with her pillow and of course the pillow went through her and hit the wall.
Minami hurriedly distance herself from Acchan, “I’m sorry… I heard you screaming then I come in then you wake up… I didn’t mean to scare you like that”
// Baka Minami.// she scolded herself.
Knock Knock “Acchan! What happen?” Acchan’s mother is asking her outside the room.
“Umm… Nothing, Mom. It’s just…it’s just… a cockroach flying above me!” Acchan excuses.
“Cockcroach…?!” Minami made an annoyed face towards Acchan. She just simply stuck out her tongue and tilts her head a bit.
Acchan gets up from her bed and stretches her arms, “I’ll go down after changed my clothes, Mom”
She went to the closet and took out her school uniform. “Umm… Minami, could you please go out for a while? I want to change my clothes.”
“O…OKAY! I’ll be waiting in your classroom…” Feels embarrassing, Minami immediately fly out from the window.
Acchan is blinking her eyes several times, “Her face is glowing red… is she blushing?”
She paused for a while in front of her mirror, thinking about the name of the kid in her dream.
Is it my memories or it just a dream? Why can’t I remember her name?============
In the SchoolThe school is normal as usual, except one place…
The usual calm and silent library has become a war arena today…
Shinoda Mario, 26 years old is a charismatic librarian who’s working in this school. Start from yesterday, he is pestering by an annoying skeleton. It will go everywhere he goes and making trouble here and there.
Flashback“Mii-chan, what are you doing behind this skeleton?” asked Minami.
“Because he can’t see me, I’ll use this skeleton to pestering him until he remembers who I am” Mii-chan smirked mischievously.
“Is he really the one who killed you?”
Mii-chan stared at Minami and nodded, “Absolutely”
“Then I must distract Acchan from him…” Minami is thinking seriously. “But how did he kill you?”
Mii-chan just walk away with the skeleton and ignoring Minami’s question.
Flashback End“Stop following me!” Shinoda scolded at the skeleton (or Miichan) behind him.
The skeleton begins dancing and jumping behind Shinoda, “I’ll keep pestering you~ pestering you~” she throws all the books which is just arranged by Shinoda.
“Stop doing that!” he picks up the books and put it back again.
Kakakakakakka (sounds of gnashing teeth)
“Stop gnashing your teeth! That’s annoying me!” Shinoda shouts.
Kakakakakakka (sounds of gnashing teeth)
“Arghh…! I can’t concentrate in my work!” he grabbed a ruler and attacked the skeleton. “You’ve reached my limit! I don’t afraid of you!”
Mii-chan is so aggressive in controlling the skeleton and dodges every attack from Shinoda. He stabs the ruler at the skeleton and went through the hole in ribs. Seeing no movements from the skeleton, he grinned and saws the rib with the ruler.
“B-A-K-A” Mii-chan laughed at Shinoda’s stupid action and launched skeleton’s hand to slap him.
Shinoda dodged it and stepped backward. He threw the ruler at the skeleton and stabbed its eye. Mii-chan tilt her head and smiled, making the skeleton tilt its head too and touch the ruler. He runs and launches his kick directly at the skeleton’s head. The skeleton’s head separate from its body and rolling on the floor.
“My head~” Mii-chan acts like she is really the skeleton and runs to chase its head which is rolling on the floor. She picks up the head and put it back, “Stinky Mario! I hate you!” she runs dramatically with the skeleton toward the window and jumps down.
“Hey!” Shinoda chase for it but it’s too late. The skeleton crushed on the ground “Stupid skeleton!” watching at the skeleton below, something flashes into his head.
Stinky Mario! I hate you!“Stinky Mario…no one has called me that anymore…” a small smile forms in his face.
“Wait… it can’t be… is it…
Mii-chan?!!!”
------------------------
At the same time
Minami arrive at the school and found Mii-chan jumps down from above… with the skeleton…
“Mii-chan!!!” Minami kneel beside Mii-chan who is laying on the ground beside the crushed skeleton. “Mii-chan! Don’t die”
Mii-chan let out a heavy sigh and gets up, “Minami, I already died… years ago…”
