Harumi~
Today was the day that I was going to meet Tamakoma Branch. I wore a brown mini skirt with a white sweater and black knee length socks. I gave Osamu, Yuma and Chika my address so they would pick me up. I still don't know my way around Mikaido City. Then I heard my doorbell ring.
I open my door and meet my classmates. "Good morning!"
"Ohayo." They all say
"Shall we go?" I ask and lock the door
We all started to walk towards the Branch.
"Before we arrive, Harumi, do you have any questions?" Osamu asks
"Hmmm. No I don't think so." I simply reply
"Okay then. Well we're here." He says
I look at the old abandoned looking buildings. "E-Ehh! I thought this was supposed to be like a secret base??" I say surprised. The building looked torn down, almost abandoned.
We all walk into the building, as I walk in, I'm greeted by a small boy and an animal.
"Hi Osamu, Yuma, Chika. Who's that?"
"Her name is Inoue Harumi. She's thinking of joining Tamakoma Branch." Yuma says
"Oh, if you marry me I'll let you pet raijinmaru!" The little boy exclaims
"I'm okay." I assured
"Let's go inside now." Osamu says
I walk inside to meet four people, a pretty girl with long hair and blue eyes. Two boys, one with black hair and the other with red. Then there was another girl she wore glasses and had purple hair. Then there was a man who was smoking and looked older than all of them.
"Welcome to Tamakoma!!" A bunch of people said
***
Everyone had introduced themselves to me and in my honest opinion, everyone is really nice! Also, after some thinking, I shared my identity with them as well, otherwise it'd look weird.
"A team can usually have a maximum of four members. This would be you, Yuma, Osamu and Chika." Usami said
"I see." Osamu said
"Anyway, what's the relationship between you and Haru, Yuma?" Konami asked
"Ah, we're just very good childhood friends." Yuma says
"I see. But it would be sooo cute if you went out!" Konami says
"We're only friends!" I assure
"Harumi, unlike Yuma and Chika, you haven't trained with any of Border's triggers yet. Are you sure you'll be fine?" Usami asks
"Yea, if its a trigger, i'll be fine."
"Then, since the enlistment if tomorrow, we'll try to teach you everything today.
***
We arrive at the enlistment with Osamu and with our C-rank triggers on. I see some of the A-ranks wondering why Yuma and Osamu are with me. Since they don't know about my existence as a neighbour, they think I am just a mere girl.
After an old man was done speaking, the A-rank Arashiyama unit came up to talk.
What had caught my attention was when they finally started sorting us out.
"If you would like to be an attacker or gunner, please stay here. If you would like to be a sniper, follow Satori to the training hall."
Yesterday I decided to be an attacker with Yuma while Chika wanted to be a sniper.
"Chika, will you be fine on your own?" Osamu asks
"Hai!"
"Do your best Chi-chan!"
Then Chika goes with Satori and the rest.
"Now I Jun Arashiyama, will be the one helping the gunners and attackers. But first I would like to congratulate you on your enlistment!"
He looks at Yuma and Osamu and probably wonders who I am. Similar to Yuma, my border trigger outfit was black. This was probably because we both use black triggers.
Arashiyama-san explains the points on our left hands and how to move up to B-ranks so that we are official agents.
"Now, you will be experiencing how training will be like."
We are now walking in a hallway when a girl approached us.
"Mikumo-kun."
Osamu turns around to meet a purple haired girl.
"Ah Kitora."
"Why are you here, aren't you already a B-rank?" She asks
"I'm here to help with Kuga and Harumi." He says
"Ah Kitora, it's been a long time!" Yuma says
She looks at him with caution. She knows he is a neighbour.
"Who's Harumi?" She then asks
"I'm Inoue Harumi! Nice to meet you!" I introduce
"I'm Ai Kitora." She says, "so you're a friend of Mikumo's?"
"We're classmates, but when they heard I also wanted to become a border agent, Osamu-kun helped me lots!" I lie
"I see." She says
When we arrived at the room, Arashiyama-san explained what we had to do.
"Make sure to defeat the neighbour in less than 5 minutes, otherwise, you are disqualified. We may start now!"
Luckily, both Yuma and I went at the same time, it was a time for a friendly competition. The current highest score was 58 sec. I knew I could get higher. Room #2 was mine while Yuma's was #5. We were about to go in at the same time.
"Lets see who defeats him faster!" I shout
"Ok!" He agrees
I walk into the room ready with my scorpion.
"Start!" The woman said
The second she said Start, by that time I already killed the neighbour.
"Gomen." I say to the neighbour
"New high score, 0.1 seconds."
Then I heard Yuma's score. "0.6 seconds."
Then everyone looked at us with wide eyes.
"No, that was a mistake. There must be something wrong with the timing machine! Do it again!" A person said
"Again? Okay." I agreed
Both Yuma and I did it again. I still had 0.1 sec but he moved down to 0.4 sec.
"I win!" I say
"Good job. You must trained a lot Haru!" He compliments.
"Thanks, but you've improved too." I reply
After a few more rounds a few of the boys who started of with more than 1000 points came up to us and invited us into their group, "Okay, it's decided, we want you to be in our group! The stronger we are the higher we go!"
"No, thanks!" I say
"Then how about you?" They ask Yuma
"Nope!" He says
"You're both teaming with Osamu right?" A voice said. The two of us turned around to see Arashiyama Jun.
"Of course we are!" Yuma says
"Inoue Harumi des!" I say
"Nice to meet you. I'm Arashiyama Jun! Oh and congratulations on having the highest score!" He says
"Thanks!"
"I see." He says
When he looks up to meet Osamu, there was a boy with black hair and red eyes.
"Kazama-senpai?! I didn't know you were here?" Arashiyama-san said
"Lend me a training room. I want to test Jin's kouhai." He says
Then his trigger turns on.
"Yuma is only a trainee!"
"No it's fine." Yuma says
"Not him, I mean Mikumo Osamu. I want to test him."
We all look at Osamu who looks troubled now. What will he say??
