Keys To My Heart [Hanako-kun x Reader]

[Chapter 6] It's Time for Class

[RECAP]

"W-Wait! Is Aoi-" Yashiro tried to ask about Aoi in her alarmed state but was unfortunately interrupted by Misaki.

"First, my arm. My right arm. I use this hand to write with chalk. Hurry. Class begins soon."

[Your Name]'s POV:

The line went off as we all stared at the black phone receiver for a few moments.

"She hung up." Yashiro spoke first after hearing a few soft beeps from the phone.

A creaking noise filled the atmosphere as I turned my head to see a humongous hourglass being turned over so that the sand inside would start pouring into the bottom half.

Kou hmphed. "So, we've got a time limit?"

I shifted my view to the left and found a shrine that had been opened. "Hey, look over there. It's a shrine."

"Maybe we can go ahead if we put an arm in there?" Yashiro suggested.

"Who knows?" Hanako said, his honey eyes gazing in the same direction. "I'm sure something will happen, though."

"How do you expect us to find a right arm in this massive pile of junk?" I sighed. "Let alone with a time limit as well. To add on, I highly doubt Misaki is going to be generous with time..." Yashiro hummed sadly in agreement.

"No sweat, Senpai!" Kou spoke, clutching his golden tool in his right hand while trying to reassure us. "Let's ignore that prank call and keep going!"

"I wouldn't advise it." Hanako interrupted. Kou grunted in response. "Each of the Seven Wonders is unbeatable in their own territory. For me, that's the bathroom." Hanako briefly explained. He then started to push Kou to the edge of the platform from behind him. "But if you want to see what happens when you leave the path and make her angry, I won't stop you." He smirked while chuckling to himself.

"C'mon guys, we shouldn't be wasting our time like this, especially when we're against the clock. We've still got to find that arm as well as the missing students!" I exclaimed, irritated with their shenanigans. The boys stopped to look at me and Yashiro. "Stop messing around!"

"[Your Name]-chan is right! For now, let's look for an arm like she told us to." Yashiro instructed, backing me up. "Going by her voice on the phone, it should be a woman's arm."

"If you say so, Senpai."

"Good idea." Hanako replied, rummaging in a wooden drawer. "Looking for things can be surprisingly fun. Look at this, boy." He beckoned the blonde, showing him a perverted page from a magazine. "I found treasure."

"Take this seriously, damn it!"

Kou attempted to whack Hanako with his staff as the apparition quickly floated out of the way, dodging his attacks and aggravating the other boy more. I let my head fall into my hands as I groaned, following Nene who casually walked the other way, probably wanting to find this arm and get this over with.

"Hey! Stay still!"

"Huh? But you've got to like it."

"I hate it! I'm not interested! Throw it away!"

"Don't wanna."

I looked around in the same area Yashiro was looking in, trying to find this arm so we could finish this "mission" quickly. We looked in the boxes and the other two boys continued to be unhelpful and bicker.

"But something's better than nothing, right?" Hanako proceeded to follow, more like chase, the boy with the magazine still open.

"Stop! Shut that thing!"
