《The Melancholy Of Yamamoto Yuuto》Chapter 3-The Start of A New Life
Advertisement
I turned towards the left side of the class where there was an empty seat in the second last row and took a few steps when I was interrupted by four eyes
“Where are you going?”
“Umm…My seat”
“Your seat isn't over there. That's Hina-san’s seat”
Hina-san?
“Just where did she go? I asked her to bring the books a long time back”
“Sensei I'm here”
A cute voice came from the door
The door was talking!?
“Sensei I can't open the door because I'm carrying the books”
No. A girl was talking from other side of the door and it seemed like she needed help
I walked to the door and opened it
In front of me was huge stack a text books and a pair of legs. The books were covering her entire upper body and made it look like the books were walking. It was a pretty funny sight
I looked down and noticed her hands were shaking from all the weight
Why and how did she try to carry all these books that looked like they weighed a ton on her own and how the hell did she manage to navigate her way to class with her field of vision blocked
With all these questions in my mind I was curious how the girl who managed to do all these feats looked like. So I put my hands on the lower stack of books and lifted them up, which allowed me to see her face
She smiled when I took the books
The moment I saw the girl I knew that she was the exact opposite of me
Big round orange eyes that looked like a hamster, short brown hair that looked a bit messy, a small and petite figure that looked like it would break if touched and to top it off a smile that looked like it belonged to an angel
Yup unlike me she looked absolutely harmless
One look and you would want to protect her for the rest of your whole life. She looked like a cute animal that wants to he patted on the head
In fact she looked so pure that if she was holding a bloody knife next to a dead body no one would believe she killed him. It was hard to look at her close since she was shining too brightly
Just as I was praising her in my head she started speaking
“Thank you so much…”
She was looking at my chest because of the height difference and started to look up
“I was carrying these books….”
And she looked at my face
“And-…Ah!”
She was shocked when she saw my face and stepped back
Well of course she was scared of me. She must have felt like a bunny that was going to be eaten by a wolf
The books she was holding were about to fall because of her sudden movement. I quickly placed my hand on top of the books to stop it
She calmed down and looked at me again and said
“Th-Thank you”
In a timid voice
I moved out of the way and let her go into the classroom
“Hina-san,What were you doing this whole time? I asked you to bring the books a while back and you come back this late”
Said four eyes in an aggressive tone. She was being questioned in front of the class
“No Sensei it's just that the books were really heavy so carrying them here took some time”
“What? I told you to go with Kirishima-san right?”
Wasn't that the bear panties girl's name

“That's umm…”
She turned and looked at bear panties girl and bear panties girl narrowed her eyes and shaked her head
She looked at four eyes again and said
“I thought I could do it on my own so I didn't tell Kirishima-san. Sorry sensei”
She said it in an apologetic manner
No matter how you look at it it's clear that this girl was forced by Mrs.panties over there to do her work her. I should have humiliated that bitch more
“What a useless thought. Just keep the books on the desk and go back to your place”
She walked up to the desk to place the books and I followed her to do the same. She kept the books on the desk and turned around and was startled when she saw me
“Oh this is Yamamoto Yuuto,he transferred to our class today”
She looked at me, gave a small bow and quickly went back to her seat. Even watching her bow was cute
I kept the books on the table and looked for my seat
There were no seats available in the class except for the last row which had ”Mrs I'll kill you eyes” and “Mrs Window seat”
The row had five seats in total and the first two on the left had books on top of them so sitting their wasn't possible, which left me with the only option of sitting in the seat between those two powerhouses. And to think that I pitied the person who sat there before
I hope the pressures they release won't crush me
I turned right and started walking towards the seat. Mr popular and the other guys who were sitting in the two columns beside me were looking a me with irritation and were clicking their tongues out of despite as I passed. Nothing new really
The question was how those two were going to react when I sit next to them
I looked at Mrs. Window seat and was once again mesmerized by her beauty
I could look at her all day if I wanted too, wait that sounds creepy. It's more like staring at a painting for hours on end trying to understand the meaning behind it
As usual she was still looking out with her hand on her cheek and elbow resting on the desk. If her hair wasn't swaying in the wind I would have honestly thought that time had stopped in that corner
And then I turned to look at the other girl....and Holy shit she was glaring at me!
I thought she would stop looking because she was scared of me but her gaze was even more intense than before. Just what did I do to this girl for her to look at me this way? I mean this is my first time meeting her. I thought of it over again and again but the only theory that I could come up with was that she and I knew each other in another life and I must have done something bad to her. And now she's back and out for revenge
Well if it's that, I envy the alternate me for knowing a beautiful girl like her. I mean some people would mistake her hair for flowing gold that's how pretty she was
Maybe if I say Hi to her she might say something. It's worth a try
I got to my place and kept my bag down and turned to say Hi to her
“Hey-”
She immediately turned
I was clearly ignored. That hurt a bit
Every time I go through rejection by someone else it always stings and the pain doesn't get any less even if you get rejected a 100 times. It's not a feeling that anyone can get used too and getting used to getting rejected or getting used to any negative emotion in general is pretty bad if I had to say

I'll just pat myself on the back and give myself an A for effort
I sat down on my seat and looked at the class
The moment I looked I could feel a sense of isolation from the rest of the class
Even when the desks and chairs were uniformly spaced, it felt like the people sitting in front of me were far away that I couldn't reach them
I've always been a loner for a long time so I know how it feels like to be ignored but this was a completely different experience for me
Instead of a gloomy mood in my place, it felt like more like the back row and the rest of the class were separated by an invincible wall. The air was much easier to breath and it felt like I was sitting in an empty classroom with just the three of us
It was probably due to the “Don't approach or talk to me aura” these two gave off
Aura? Shit I've been reading too much battle manga lately that it's affecting how I see things
But there was definitely something going on between these two girls and the rest of the class even before I came here
The door opened and another teacher who I haven't seen before called four eyes and said
“Sensei the principals calling for you. Please go meet him in the office”
And left
Four eyes looked annoyed
“I had just finished dealing with that transfer student and now I have to go meet the principal. What a horrible way to start the day”
Yup truly a horrible morning
“Everyone I'll be back. Until then it's self study”
He left the class
The class became grim and silent after he left but then people started glancing at me and whispering stuff to each other. Some kids sitting near Takahashi tried calling him but he didn't respond. He sat there as still as a mountain and just stared at the chalkboard
The two groups who looked the most pissed off were the groups which had Mr popular and Mrs Bear panties in it. They turned their chairs towards those two and kind of formed a circle. They were whispering the loudest and were probably talking shit about me and thinking of ways to get revenge or something
Let them try. If they do anything that pisses me off I'll just return the favour two-fold
Since I didn't sleep well last night I felt really tired so I thought of lying down and taking a quick nap but stopped when I heard a distinct noise coming from my left where Mrs Window seat was sitting
“Phhft..”
It sounded like the sound someone would make, when they try really hard not to laugh but couldn't hold it in and let a bit of laughter out. It looked like it came from her but most probably came from outside since I really couldn't imagine her making a sound li-
*silent laughing noises*
Her head and shoulders were shaking and she took the hand which was under her jaw and placed it near her mouth to cover it
The laughter noises were definitely coming from her. She moved her hand a bit and I could see her face clearly
She was laughing and her facial expression changed from that aloof face she had before and was revealing it to the whole class
"Hahahahah!...."
Before I knew it she stopped hiding it and was laughing to her heart’s content. The girl that I thought was a cool beauty was now closing her eyes and shaking her head up and down as she laughed like a maniac
All the elegance she had before was lost in a second as she was now bending down and holding her stomach to control her laughter and repeatedly hit the desk with her hands. Although she was laughingly hysterically, her laughing still had that mature and elagant vibe to it
She glanced at me for a second and started laughing even more loudly. At this point her face was blushed and there were tears in her eyes
I sat their confused with questions like”why was she laughing” and”why did she start to laugh even more louder when she saw me” going through my head but the most confused person wasn't me but rather the rest of the class
Every single one of them except Mrs Dagger Eyes and Takahashi were looking at her with awestricken faces. They were even more surprised about this then what happened before and looked as if they were witnessing a phenomenon that happens once every 100 years
Was really that surprising? I mean even I was surprised at first but I wasn't as shocked as them. No matter how flawless she looked she to was also a human being and human beings are creatures that show hundreds of different emotions and expressions in their daily lives. So of course she's capable of an action called laughter
She started to calm down
“I can't! I can't! It's too much”
That was the first time I heard her talk
Her voice was serene and elegant which fit her image perfectly. She put her hand on her chest and took deep breaths to control her laughter and finally stopped
“It's been a while since I laughed this hard”
She said while smiling
“Phew-”
She let out her final deep breath and turned and looked at me. With that same smiling face she said
“I knew you'd be an interesting person but to think you actually did that on your first day. I'm quite impressed”
“Huh?”
Nothing else came out
I couldn't think of anything else to say. I mean a girl who I had never met before suddenly tells me that I was an interesting person and she was impressed by me. How the hell do I reply to that?
And how does she know if I'm an interesting person or not without even exchanging a few words or even glances at each other. She continued saying
“First period isn't over and yet you've already insulted a girl, trashed a teacher, threatened a student, publicly shamed that boy and have made an enemy of the entire class. Quite a self introduction if I'd have to say”
Wait she saw all that? I thought she was looking out the window. Does she have a third eye or something?
I had to say something back since she was the only one talking
“Thanks for the compliment I guess”
Wow. Of all the things I could have said I chose the dumbest sounding one
She looked behind me
“Why does the girl sitting next to you look like she wants your soul?”
“What?”
I turned back and Mrs Blonde Hair was still staring at me but turned away the second I looked
“I don't know why but she's been looking at me like that since I entered the class”
Finally normal sentences were coming out
“You definitely must have done something to that girl or else she wouldn't be looking at you like that Furyo-san”
(Furyo=deliquent in Japanese)
“No really I haven't even seen her befo-..”
Hmm?
“Furyo-san?”
“That's you, right?”
She said while pointing at me
“What do you mean?”
“Blonde hair, piercings on your ear, a silver chain on your neck and silver bracelet on your hand,a missing tie and the thing that gives it away the most, Those dangerous eyes of yours. Your a delinquent right. So hence the name Furyo-san”
“No I'm not really a-”
“No need to explain. Your Furyo-san”
“No but-”
“Your Furyo-can and that's final”
She wouldn't budge on that name
But surprisingly it didn't feel bad being called that. A lot of people have called me many names in the past and they were all full of despise. But when she said it there was absolutely no shred of hate in it
Rather it felt like she was teasing me. Kind of like a nickname you give friends
“I give up. I'm indeed Furyo-san”
“Glad you finally noticed”
She looked satisfied with her victory
But why was she even talking to me? I decide to ask
“Why are you talking to me?”
I should have phrased that better. It felt like I was telling her that I wanted to be left alone and she was disturbing me
She replied immediately
“Do I have to have a reason to talk to someone I'm interested in?”
“And for what reason are you interested in me?”
She narrowed her eyes
“You know when a great person such as I comes down to your level and says she wants to talk to you. You should just gratefully accept it without asking so many idiotic questions”
She talked like royalty. I guess I'll go with her flow
I bowed my head like a peasant meeting a queen
“Apologises, your majesty. I thank you for spending your precious time on this unworthy one. I hope you find it in your heart to forgive this lowly servant for questioning your greatness”
I said in a sarcastic manner and in which she replied with
“What should I do? You have gained this righteous one's anger and simply leaving you off wouldn't be right. A punishment is required”
She really got into her role
“Please I have a sister waiting at home. If something happens to me no one will be their to take care of her. I beg of you! Please forgive me!”
“I see. Brotherly love”
She thought for a moment
“Raise your head. For the sake of your sister this merciful one will forgive you”
“Thank you for sparing me your highness”
I raised my head and looked at her and she looked at me
''Phhft…..Hahaha!
We both laughed at the same time at the small role-play we did but the class looked weirded out
Even if we only traded a few sentences, talking to her felt really pleasant and somehow had a sense of familiarity to it. It's been a while since I've had a conversation like this with someone other then my family and if I could I would want to continue to talk to her but it can't go on like this and I said...
“I don't think you should talk to me”
...which ruined the nice mood we had going on
She stopped smiling and had a serious expression on her face and asked
“And why is that?”
“Umm…You see I'm definitely the most hated person in class now and I'm pretty sure some people want to get back at me. So if they see you talking with me they might take their anger out on you and I don't want to see anyone get hurt because of me. So I think you’re better off not talking to me”
This is for the best. If she continues to talk to me,the girls I angered would start bullying her
Maybe if I hadn't lost my cool and given myself to anger I could have talked more with her and possibly become friends
That's all in the past now. Just got to accept it and move on
I thought she would stop talking to me after I said that but with a gentle face she looked me in the eye and said
“It may not seem like it but you’re actually a really kind guy aren't you”
And smiled
My heart dropped for a second
It's been three years since a person I knew told that exact same line to me. All the emotions of acceptance and happiness I felt back then came racing back to me
My eyes started tearing up and I felt like I was going to cry
This girl right before me didn't judge me based on my appearance and actually said I was a kind person. Her words seemed liked a bright light in a dark world where I'm constantly hated and resented by others
But to think I would find someone else that saw the true me like he did before. Miracles really do happen
But this is cruel. I've found what I wanted but I can't reach out to it because if I did it would hurt her.
I truly have horrible luck
But it's not all that bad. With this I know that there is still hope for me in making relationships with others. She's shown me that there are people like her out there who don't judge based on appearances
Mrs Window seat you've given me the confidence to go forward and I truly thank you for that. It was short but I really enjoyed talking to you
Now it's back to my lonely lif-
“But to think your reason of not wanting to talk to me was so trivial. What a joke!”
Eh!?
What did she just say? Trivial? A joke?
I'm here worrying about her and she's just treating it as a jo-
“Do you really think I had a proper relationship with this class in the first place?”
Ummm…Not really
I noticed she was different from the rest the moment I sat down.…No. From the very moment I saw her I knew she was a person who enjoyed solitude and didn't get along with others
“Even if everyone in this class disappeared I'm the last person who would really care about it”
Ohhh…That's harsh
“I don't even see them as classmates. In my eyes, their just random people who I'm forced to be with whole day. I'd rather be happy if they just disappeared”
Whoa-Whoa-Woah, I kinda feel sorry for the class now
She looked at the class and said
“You guys wouldn't mind disappearing right?”
That comment was clearly aimed at the class. She was speaking in a fairly loud voice and everyone could hear what she was saying
If a normal person said those same lines to the class like she did, they would definitely be crushed by the other students actions retaliating to what they said and would receive abusive comments in return
But that wasn't happening here
The whole class just ignored. No, they accepted what she said and didn't say a word back. They just looked at each and lowered their heads as a way of submission
Even Mrs Panties who looked like she would pummel someone if they talked bad about her was sitting quietly. Just what kind of spell did she put on them?
I peaked behind to see what Mrs Blonde was doing and she was still staring at me
Looks like what she told didn't affect her in the slightest. I guess an alpha doesn't listen to another alpha
But one thing was clear, no one in class dared to go against her
“You see right? They don't even have the guts to talk back to me and your saying that their going to bully me. Heh,Makes me want to laugh but my stomach already hurts from laughing to much so I'll hold back”
Wait that means I can….
“Now do you have any problem with me talking to you?”
Guess I'm not that unlucky after all
I smiled and said
“I'll be in your care”
“Oh I haven't introduced myself yet"
She placed her hand on her chest and told
" My name is Kisaragi Yuzuha. I too will be in your care”
*door opens*
Four eyes came back
“Okay everyone take your math textbook out. Well be doing…”
I entered the class thinking I'll have the same boring school life as I had before but now I'm thinking that it might not be bad after all

I was Born the Unloved Twin
You've probably heard this sort of story before. Once upon a time, blah blah blah a boy and a girl fell love and everything was beautiful and perfect, except for this thing called life getting in their way. He was this cool foreign prince and she was basically perfect. Really it's a very boring run of the mill story. I'll even spoil it for you, they kill the villainess at the end. Not the type of story I'd read personally. So where do I fit into this?Apparently I'm her older twin sister and the very very lucky fiance to the foreign prince. You know, the dead villainess? Sucks I know. Now I get to do it all over again from the beginning.Curse my life ------ So you're somewhat interested in what this thing is about and looking to see if it's even worth reading? Let's get the worst of it out of the way first: This is a boring story, very tedious, mundane and downright just boring. It's too slow, the characters are too confusing & make possibly retarded choices. It's an isekai/reborn type Slice of Life novel that plays on the villainess noble girl trope but the MC gets no OP cheats, no magical powers, not even some satisfying face slapping or such self-fulfillment fantasy. Wow, I'm doing a terrible job advertising this thing. If you're somehow still interested, if you were ever interested how an average modern person, reborn with all their host's memories, could live out their life in this situation, mending personal relationships one step at a time, or wondered what happened in between all the time skips in other novels, maybe give Unloved Twin a try. This is an awkward novel, the pacing is slow, and there is no time skips. For some reason still, I really love this little story I'm making. Talk to me on: https://discord.gg/ARkSMFPbew
