"I'm sorry, Shirayuki-san. I didn't mean to."
Because she had been pushed by the panicked Dober that morning, Shirayuki's shoulder had hit the bed frame, leaving a small scrape. Now, she was lying on the bed while Dober applied medicine.
"It's okay. It was my fault, it has nothing to do with you, Dober-senpai. Anyone would be startled if someone fell on them while they were still half-asleep."
In truth, it had nothing to do with being asleep. It was because Dober had had an unpleasant dream.
She had dreamt that she was sharing a dorm room with a man. For someone with a fear of men, this was hell. When he approached her, she had unhesitatingly pushed him away.
And because of that, Shirayuki had gotten hurt.
Looking at the glaring red mark on the pale, smooth skin of her neck, Dober felt a pang of guilt. People instinctively want to protect beautiful things, so having personally damaged such lovely skin made her feel extremely remorseful.
"I'm sorry..."
"I told you it's fine, Dober-senpai," Shirayuki waved her hand and laughed. "When I was little, my mom used to say I had thick skin and couldn't even feel a beating. A little scratch like this is nothing to me."
"I-is that so? Your mother is that strict?"
The thought of someone hitting a child, and a girl at that, was unimaginable to Dober.
"Not really strict. I just used to break things around the house a lot when I was a kid. One time, I tried to drag the TV into my room to make a fort, but I forgot to unplug it. I tripped, and the TV was instantly wrecked. That night, I was wrecked too."
"That really happened...?" Dober blinked. "I thought you were a very quiet person."
In Dober's mind, beautiful girls with white hair and blue eyes were usually the type to befriend books, love quiet, and carry themselves with the grace of a young lady.
But Shirayuki completely subverted her impression.
Her personality was very open, almost like a boy's. Although there were others at Tracen with similar personalities, the feeling was strongest with Shirayuki.
"Haha, no way. The word 'quiet' and I don't mix," Shirayuki smiled. "So you really don't need to apologize. This is nothing. Besides, being tended to by a beautiful girl has been my lifelong dream, and today, it's finally being realized by you, Dober-senpai. I should be thanking you."
"I'm not 'tending to you,' I'm just disinfecting your wound," Dober said, blushing.
So you don't deny that you're a beautiful girl...
After the medicine was applied, Shirayuki sat up and moved her arm a few times.
"Thank you, Dober-senpai."
"It's what I should do..."
Whether it was because the accident was her fault or her duty to look after a junior.
"Actually, last night I was a little worried if I could get along with you, Dober-senpai. Seeing what a kind person you are, I feel relieved. Dober-senpai, I look forward to getting to know you."
With that, Shirayuki bowed her head.
"Huh?! Me too! I hope to get along well with Shirayuki-s... Shirayuki."
Seeing Dober frantically state her own feelings, Shirayuki smiled.
This should be fine now, right?
In the male staff dormitory, Chiya thought to himself as he searched online for 'how to get along with a senior.'
"Well then, Dober-senpai, I'm going to report to my class now. The teacher told me to come early."
Slinging her bag over her shoulder, Shirayuki waved goodbye and disappeared from Dober's sight.
Once the room was quiet again, Dober put away the medicine bottle.
Fujiwara Shirayuki...
A new student who had just transferred yesterday.
When Tazuna had informed her she would be getting a roommate, Dober had been worried about what kind of person it would be—like a gyaru or someone with a bad temper. She really couldn't handle people like that. Her shy nature made it impossible for her to speak properly with them.
But.
All her worries had been for nothing.
The new student was a very nice girl. Her personality was lively and energetic, perhaps a bit too energetic to match her beautiful face.
But, at least for now, her impression of Fujiwara Shirayuki was very good.
I think we can become good friends...
Meanwhile, Chiya came out of the staff dormitory and waited at the entrance of the academic building for Shirayuki.
He wanted to check her appearance before she went into the classroom.
A few minutes later, a white figure slowly approached from the distance.
"Good morning, Onii-sama!"
Shirayuki smiled happily as she spoke.
Thump!
Chiya clutched his chest and bent over. The impact was too strong; his heart couldn't take it.
Although it was his own performance, having his cute sister greet him with "brother" on her way to school was a dream come true for any man.
However, from Shirayuki's perspective, it felt more like shouting 'brother' at a mirror, which was incredibly weird.
"G-good morning, Onii-sama..."
Another voice spoke. Turning his head, Chiya saw Rice Shower, who had also just arrived. She was hunched over, looking timid.
"Good morning, Rice Shower."
"Um, I just came to say hello. I won't disturb you, Onii-sama." With a forced smile, Rice Shower scurried away.
"Rice Shower?"
She ran into the academic building without looking back.
Is she in such a hurry?
Oh well.
Turning back, Chiya carefully examined Shirayuki.
After changing into the Tracen uniform, her entire aura was different. The exquisitely designed uniform accentuated her delicate figure beautifully, giving her the elegance of a young lady while retaining a girl's youthful energy.
Absolutely perfect!
Chiya nodded to himself.
Now, even in a classroom full of Horse Girls, she'll stand out, right?
Hmm, what's this?
He inadvertently noticed something on her long white socks.
A loose thread?
Chiya bent down to remove it. But just as he reached out, before he could touch her thigh, he was struck violently from behind.
"Guah!"
The air was knocked out of his lungs, and he collapsed to the ground.
"In public, what do you think you're doing to this student!"
A powerful voice rang out from behind him. Through Shirayuki's perspective, she saw a girl with a brown ponytail and sakura blossoms in her eyes, who had just retracted her powerful leg.
"As the committee chair, I will not allow such a violation of school rules—!"
"Bakushin O..."
"My goodness? A closer look reveals it's Trainer Chiya! Even a trainer is not allowed to do such things!"
With that, Sakura Bakushin O walked over to Shirayuki and took her hand.
"Are you alright, miss?"
"I... I'm fine."
I was fine until you kicked me.
Now Shirayuki felt like she could collapse at any moment.
"That's good! Come with me to the Disciplinary Committee room, Trainer Chiya. And as for you, miss..."
"Fujiwara Shirayuki."
"Fujiwara Shirayuki-san, right? You should head to your class. Leave the rest to me!"
With that, Sakura Bakushin O hoisted the fallen Chiya over her shoulder and started walking towards the Disciplinary Committee room.
"Wait, I was just..."
"Yo, Shirayuki."
Before she could finish, someone popped up behind her.
Long gray hair, pink eyes, and that unforgettable boat-shaped hat.
Gold Ship.
She clapped Shirayuki on the shoulder.
"I saw everything."
"S-saw what?"
"The moment your cousin was about to make a move on you."
What?!
I was just picking off a loose thread.
"But don't worry." Draping an arm over Shirayuki's shoulder, Gold Ship gave a thumbs-up. "I won't let that punk succeed. I will be monitoring him 24/7 to prevent him from doing anything unspeakable."
With that, Gold Ship tilted her head back, striking a proud pose.
"Damn, why am I so great? For the sake of team harmony, I, Gold Ship-chan, have sacrificed so much—!"
"You think so too, right, Shirayuki... Shirayuki?"
When she came to her senses, Gold Ship found that Shirayuki was gone.
