[Comprehensive] Manna's Summer

Volume Two: Three Children on Ice

26#The beginning of everything

"My parents didn't come to the entrance ceremony."

Kuroko Tetsuya stood at the gate of Teiko Middle School, looked at the Someiyoshino cherry tree at the gate, and said with a blank expression.The girl beside him smiled when she heard the words, her face was very similar to his, only more beautiful and soft.The brand-new white western-style school uniform made her look more slender and fair-skinned.When she smiled, she had a different meaning, like a flower slowly blooming.

"I can't help it." There was a sense of helplessness in her voice, "Who made my mother insist on cooking by herself yesterday to celebrate our promotion to junior high school?"

Hei Zizhe also thought of the pair of parents who missed the entrance ceremony of their children because of food poisoning and was hospitalized, and immediately felt a headache.

The girl gently held his hand and smiled gently at him.

"Then let's go, the entrance ceremony is about to begin."

Kuroko Mana, 12 years old, is looking forward to her junior high school career at Teiko Middle School.

***

"What are you looking at, Aoi?"

The girl withdrew her gaze from the outside of the car, but did not look at the man who asked the question, but stopped on her lap.Straight black hair was waist-length, lustrous and plump, and even the sideburns were combed neatly.The school uniform in the style of a small white suit is buttoned to the last one, and even the pattern of the pleated skirt is not messed up.Slender eyebrows and thin eyes, but extremely black pupils, thin and crimson lips, sitting there dignifiedly like a Japanese doll.And even her voice was cold, without the anger that a girl of this age should have.

"Nothing, father."

"……yes."

The man didn't seem to care much about this question either, he didn't look back at Aoi's face, but spoke in a cold voice.

"Seijuro is also in this school, go to him if you have something to do, and listen to him."

"Yes, father."

The dialogue between the two is not like father and daughter at all, but like superiors and subordinates.The girl picked up her schoolbag and bowed her head respectfully to the man.

"I'm going first, father."

"Ah."

The girl opened the car door and walked down without looking back.

Kuga Aoi, 12 years old, has no expectations for her junior high school career at Teiko Middle School.

***

"Erica is fine by herself."

The girl put her hands behind her back, turned around and smiled at the woman without any haze.Her pink hair was tied into two toffee curls, pinned up by Scottish heather-style barrettes, and the small wine-red flowers made her face even more delicate.She has an immature baby face with deep dimples on her cheeks, and she looks very sweet and lovely.The placket of the white school uniform was open, with only one button loosely buttoned at the waist. Under the snow-green shirt, the newly developed chest bulged out in a beautiful shape.

"Auntie, go about your own business, don't worry about Erica."

"If you think this is better, then so be it." The woman shrugged her shoulders with a cigar in her mouth. "Anyway, I have done my best to bring you to Tokyo. How you go next depends on you."

"Erica is very grateful for the fact that my aunt snatched Erica's custody from my father and mother." The girl smiled, her eyebrows curved, "However, my aunt also has her own things to do, just go to school Erika is fine for the ceremony by herself."

"...whatever you want." The woman exhaled a beautiful smoke ring, and suddenly reached out to rub Erika's head roughly, "But don't show me such an ugly smile!"

"Let's go!" She let go, threw the cigarette butt on the ground casually, and left without hesitation.

The girl stared at the back of the woman, and after a while, she glanced at the gate of Teiko Middle School with no expression on her face.

Erika Futekoji, 12 years old, feels indifferent about her junior high school career starting at Teiko Middle School in the future.

***

"The entrance ceremony should be this way..."

Mana took Kuroko's hand and asked uncertainly.Heizi studied the roadside topographic map and gave a definite answer.

"there."

"Let's lead the way, Ah Zhe, I really don't have a good sense of direction."

"it is good."

Kuroko held Mana's hand instead, and walked in the opposite direction.

When passing the next intersection, they saw a girl.She was looking at her school uniform skirt in embarrassment. There were a few strands of cloth hanging from the nails on the tree trunk next to her, and a long rip was pulled out of the skirt. She clutched the rip tightly and didn't know what to do.Heizi turned his back upon seeing this, Mana let go of his hand and walked over, took the hairpin from his head and handed it to the girl.

"If you don't mind, use this?"

"Eh?"

The girl took the hair clip and compared it to the rip in her skirt, as if she didn't know how to clip it.Seeing this, Mana took the hairpin from her hand, stretched out her hand to tuck the slit in her skirt, and clamped it with the hairpin.

"Let's deal with it in this simple way first, and it will be fine if you don't make too many movements. You can go to the office later and ask the teacher if he has a sewing kit."

Mana brushed the fallen hair behind her ears, and said to the girl with a smile.The other party looked at her adoringly with bright eyes, which made Mana feel a little embarrassed.

"My name is Erica, Erika Futekoji, what about you?"

"Kuroko Mana."

Erika's accent was soft with a Kyoto accent, and when she smiled, the dimples on her cheeks were filled with sweetness.

"Then Erika will call you Mana-chan~ Thank you so much for today, Mana-chan!"

"...I didn't do anything..." Mana smiled helplessly, "Mana-chan or something... I feel a little embarrassed..."

"The entrance ceremony is about to begin, sister." Heizi looked at his watch and reminded Mana.

Erika groaned, as if she had just noticed someone there: "Yuan, so there is still someone there!"

Hei Zizhe is also used to being ignored by others because of his low presence.Hearing the words, he just looked over calmly, and told the truth in a voice that did not fluctuate.

"I have been here all the time."

"...It's amazing! Erica didn't notice it at all!" She tilted her head and looked at the siblings, "You look alike, are you twins?"

"Yeah." Mana smiled and waved at Erica, "Azhe and I are going to the entrance ceremony first, you should go to the teaching building to find the teacher."

"Yeah! Mana-chan bye~"

"Bye-Bye."

Watching the siblings leave, Erica put down her hands and quietly watched their backs.

"Twins... that's great."

***

The ceremony of the entrance ceremony was not long and nothing new.Only when the two students representing the male and female freshmen came to the stage did there be a small commotion.The male representative is a red-haired teenager with a calm, self-restraint and leadership temperament.This boy named Akashi Seijuro is No.1 in the entrance examination, and the female representative is tied for first place with him.When the girl came out, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The girl had eyes as cold as ice.

"Hi everyone, I'm Kuga Aoi."

Mana gently poked Kuroko down there.

"...She's so beautiful." She whispered.

"My sister is also very beautiful."

"That's different." Mana smiled, "She looks like Aoi Ong in The Tale of Genji, noble and beautiful. She's still studying so well, it feels so perfect."

...But it's too proud.

Hei Zizhe also looked at the girls on the stage and silently made a judgment in his heart.

After Kugaoi finished her short and powerful speech, there was thunderous applause from the audience.She raised her eyes and silently glanced at Akashi Seijuro, as if provocative.Akashi returned a calm look, and Kugaoi clenched his fists secretly.

'What, it's always like this. ' She looked away indignantly, 'I don't need your care. '

The entrance ceremony ended soon.Akashi Seijuro paused slightly when he walked past Kugaoi.

"Teiguang's orchestra club is quite famous. I remember that you play the violin very well. If you choose this club, you should be able to get the principal soon. It's better for girls to choose the cultural club."

"Don't bother you." Kugaoi raised her chin slightly, "I have my own plan."

"It's just entrusted by others." Akashi said casually, and then passed her by.

Never looked at her again.

Kugaoi pursed her lips and walked towards her class without looking back.

"It's been so annoying since I was a child." She snorted coldly.

***

Hei Zizhe also accompanies Mana to find her class.

"One year group b...group b...group b...ah, here."

Mana stopped at the gate of Group B of the first year, smiling at Kuroko.

"Then, I'll go first, Ah Zhe should go to his class quickly."

The two siblings were not assigned to the same class, so Heizi nodded and walked towards Group C next door. Mana didn't turn around until she saw her younger brother walking into the classroom.

...as soon as he turned around, he bumped into someone.

"sorry Sorry……"

It was a very tall boy. At this time, Mana, who was only 1.4 meters tall, had to look up to see the other person's face.The boy's lazy nasal voice came from the head, and Mana hurriedly stepped aside to let him go out first.

"Thank you."

The purple-haired boy thanked him casually, and placed a pack of delicious sticks on Mana's head. When Mana took it down, the big boy had already moved several meters away.

Mana shook her head and put the delicious bar in her pocket.

A boy with navy blue hair and a girl with long pink hair walked behind her arguing.

"So it's all your fault, Ada! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be late!"

"I said it was too late to play basketball last night... I apologized several times on the way, so stop reading in May."

"Ah, you..."

Mana walked into the classroom, randomly picked a seat by the window and sat down, when she was clearing the table, a boy suddenly sat down beside her.She looked sideways, and was looking into the eyes of the boy. He had delicate eyebrows and eyes like a girl, and smiled at her when he met her gaze, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Kuroko Mana."

"Kise Ryota."

After the two briefly exchanged names, they didn't speak for a while.Mana rested her chin on one hand and looked out of the window, with a pen in her hand, she turned it unconsciously.She is good at turning the pen, and the thin carbon pen is flying between her white fingers, as agile as a living thing.A green-haired boy outside the window caught her attention, without him, because he was holding a white shivering dog that was so cute that it didn't match his elite face at all.A big boy is holding such a cute Shigging Dog that almost turns into a human, even though his expression is serious as if he is about to die, he still... looks like a pervert no matter how you look at it.

Mana smiled and retracted her gaze, and the next second, her gaze froze.

Kise Ryota was also spinning a pen in his hand, both the posture and the style were exactly the same as Mana's.Seeing Mana's surprised expression, Kise let go of his hand and let the pen fall on the table.

"It's amazing..." Mana looked at him with admiration in her eyes, "Would Kise-san do this too?"

"Just watched you play, I learned from you." He replied casually.

"You can learn it just by watching it once... That's really amazing."

Before Mana could finish speaking, there was a sudden weight behind her.

"We're actually in the same class! Mana-chan!"

The petite girl hugged Mana from behind like a koala, and Kise stared at this scene dumbfounded.Mana smiled helplessly, bent her hand over and touched the girl's head.

"Student Dixiaolu?"

"Just call me Erica~"

"Okay, okay, what does Erica want from me?"

"I saw you here so I came over to say hello~" Erica said with a smile, "By the way, can Mana-chan sing?"

"...Eh? I know a little bit, what's the matter?"

"That's great, let me introduce a friend to you!"

"Eh?"

Before Mana could react, Erika dragged her out of her seat and dragged her to a girl.

"Kuijiang Kuijiang! I found a third member!"

Kugaoi sat on the seat, turned her head when she heard this, and looked at Mana with piercing eyes.

"your name?"

"Mana, Kuroko Mana."

"I'm Kuga Aoi." She held out her hand politely, "Skipping out the unnecessary polite words, I'll just ask directly—do you want to become the number one singer in Japan?"

"Eh?"

"Come and form a band with us."

Kuga Aoi said so.
