The Reserve Course doesn't have lodging. But... the Main Course does. Mukuro and Junko didn't need the apartment anymore. Luckily, the houses were outside of Main Course Campus, so I could actually stay with them.

Junko insisted that I stay with her.

I was too scared to say no.

But right now, I had a tutoring session with one of my older classmates. I had insisted that I was fine, and I didn't need it, but my teachers forced it anyway. Something about how I was too young, and I must be falling behind since I'm not used to this much work.

The attitude of these teachers annoyed me.

"Finally, you're here! Geez, you freshman really piss me off." He said, leaning back in his chair with his feet up on the table.

I never observed his features. In all honesty, he looked like a blue blob to me. I couldn't care less.

The time went unbearably slow. And this session was extra long, since I had an essay due tomorrow. He took a long time to read over the essay, looking for any flaw. In the end, he handed me back the essay with no notes and said he simply didn't care.

I stormed out of the library and shoved the essay into my bag. "Stupid upperclassmen! He really wasted my time." I grumbled, walking quickly through the halls. I got close to the exit. "I could've edited that better if I was along in Junko's room with her pestering me over nothing." Out the door I walked, the sun was going down. I rushed to turn the corner and knocked right into a girl. I stumbled back and she fell down. I heard something drop to the ground.

It was a Nantendo Gamergirl Advance.

Those things are way out of my budget.

"Oh geez, I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going!" I apologized, offering my hand to her.

She was pretty. She had these dopey, light peach, doe eyes and strawberry blonde hair. She had on a brown jacket with a yellow hoodie. She also had a backpack that was pink with an adorable cat head.

Wait... brown...

Crap. That's the Main Course color!

She grabbed my hand and I helped her up. I immediately bowed my head as an apology.

"No, it's okay... I think." Her voice was soft, she just glanced at me and then picked up her Gamergirl. The system still turned on, luckily. I sighed in relief.

"...hey. You wouldn't happen to know Hajime Hinata, would you?" She asked. I thought for a moment, then shook my head.

"No, I'm sorry. I don't know anyone with that name." She seemed to get very sad at that fact, she slouched a little and hugged herself.

"Oh... okay. Thank you anyway." She began to walk off. I almost wanted to call out to her and ask her for her name, but I stopped myself. I just began to walk the opposite way out of embarrassment, even though Junko's room was the way she was going.

I didn't get back home until it was dark. I dropped my bag at the door and dragged my feet along until I got to the bedroom. I had a sleeping bag on the ground, but I couldn't help myself. I flopped onto Junko's bed. I felt so tired.

"[Name]? Are you finally home?" I heard Junko's voice, and her combat boots against the floor. I groaned a little.

"Yeeeahhh..." I called, my voice muffled by the bed.

"Well get up, sleepy head! The Despair Sisters have work to do, and you're coming along for the ride!"

That caught my attention.

I sat up on the bed and yawned a little. She was holding some takoyaki. Mukuro was standing behind her, in a military vest and gloves. She had many weapons on her. I could tell.

"What... exactly are we doing?"

Junko just began to smile.
