Sonata No Kioku
09-Angel traps are helpless

"Ka... You!"

"Ware...! What am I supposed to say now? If I make a wrong move, I'll be plunged straight into the abyss...."

"Think... Think on!! Come on brain don't disappoint me!!"

The violinist's footsteps were heard approaching me. He leaned over and extended his hand to me.

"Are you okay?" That was a word that came out of his mouth. I heard it was immediately shocked from thinking too far.

"I-iya" I grabbed her hand out while nodding.

"If it's not wrong, your name is Saki Arata, isn't it?" Tori-kun.

"Ah, that's right. What's up?" Much

"It's okay, I'm just curious that you managed to find onee-sama while running away from home again" she replied with a smile.

"Haha~what is a compliment?"—batinku.

Kanzaki who had been looking at me immediately stared at Tori-kun with a silent gesture. Then he walked towards the door, but in the middle of the step that led down the stairs he looked at me and asked;

"Why are you still in the building area?"

"Ah, i-it was I told to take a bottle of drinking water my friend left behind"

"Why not go to class?"

"Yes, that's obvious, when I almost opened the door I overheard your conversation. So I decided to wait until your conversation is over"

"so... Maybe he heard.."

"You said something?"

"No, I'm first yeah"

Shortly after the tip of her braided purple hair disappeared behind the wall, I felt a bad feeling that would come upon me after this.

After that, the sports lesson began as usual. When I got home from school, I heard stories from Haruka about her. Throughout the sport, Kanzaki just sat on the edge of the stadium while observing the lessons. He never once moved from his place until the end of the hour.

🎶

The next day at recess, it looks like Kanzaki is still busy taking care of the netizens who ask questions that continue to flow profusely like a waterfall. In between the crowd, sometimes our eyes meet each other right in the small cracks. From his gaze it was clear that he was asking for help from me, but it was clearly impossible for me.

"Is he not tired of continuing to serve the girls who are kepo? If I have to use my karate style" said Haruka who continues to chew.

"That's the difference between a woman who has a brain and a woman who has a fist brain like you." Satoshi said.

*bloom*

Several stars were seen circling Satoshi's head which began to look a red window at the head.

"aww... Arata, sick..." It's like a girl.

"Basic stupid! You already know the nature of Haruka like that, still mocked him" I said inexhaustible.

"So soon, let me get you some ointment in the UKS.."

Moments

I'm going to rewind the chair and walk to the classroom door, all of a sudden

I heard

sound*bam*, which indicates someone who

has kicked the table. I turned my head, and saw Kanzaki standing on the table right in the crowd of girls while pointing at me softly. Him

said while crying.

"Ask the boy. The stalker had all my albums, and I'm sure he must know a lot about me."

"Huh? What?!" I suddenly screamed.

Kanzaki jumped off the table and ran past me, then out of the classroom. Just before he came out, he whispered a word in my ear "Feel it, * ''2*..."

🌼Pronounced: *Suto-kun, meaning Stalker🌼

"Did? What does this mean?!" I muttered in annoyance while shuddering in horror at what I saw now. Countless gazes, now directed at me. And one of them approached me. Yes, he is the vice-chairman of the class.

"So, what do you know about Kanzaki-san? What's the relationship between you?"

"Hu-relationship? There's no." Reply spontaneously.

"It must be a lie. On the first day of the conversation you sounded familiar, you must know each other right?" Tukas the other disciple in the back.

"Yes yes it is true!!"

"Wait a minute, I really don't have anything to do with him. And again why am I called a stalker?!" I asked back.

"Basic fucking girl... He used my fondness for classical music to escape from them.!"–my heart was upset.

Suddenly I felt the embrace of my hand from the side. As I turned my head, I saw a man with many styles say;

"All the ladies, this little guy definitely knows the album, because early on he was introduced to classical music by his mother because he was a famous music critic"

"I'm disgusted, why should his face be so pretentious??" I whispered in his right ear.

"Whispering!! You should be thanking me for saving you from these predators" he said.

"So so.."

"Classical music? Isn't that too old-fashioned?"

"If your mother is a critic, then you know all about Kanzaki-san?"

"Please calm down the ladies first, if you want to know it would be nice to just ask the person directly" said the man who is Satoshi.

"That's a hassle. Listen Arata, you should ask Kanzaki-san a few questions on this paper. You can ask it when you come home and tomorrow tell us all the answers he answered" said the student behind the vice-chairman of the class while forcibly handing me a piece of paper.

I nodded in resignation while receiving that piece of paper. In the end the crowd slowly faded and I was free from death for a short time. In my head now started to wonder, why did the vice-chairman and the other students insist on asking Kanzaki, whereas they had already been rejected several times?

"Don't the vice-chairman want Kanzaki-san to be able to get along and be comfortable with everyone here?" I muttered.

"Maybe his patience level is up, so he used it this way" Satoshi replied to my surprise.

"It could be.."

🎶

When I got home, I went straight into the room and got ready to help make dinner with my mom. Before that, I was silent in the bathroom while soaking. There's a lot I can imagine if I keep in touch with Kanzaki. I don't know what it is, which I obviously feel uncomfortable. It was as if there were going to be big events waiting for me..

"Ta-chan, don't soak for long... Later the dinner will not be so" said okaa-san from outside the door.

"Okay, I'm done" I replied.

A few minutes later I was in the kitchen and helped bring food to the table.

"Okaa-san, do you remember the genius violinist Kanzaki Shiori?" My toot.

"Don't call me okaa-san, have you forgotten that *that day*" he said, pinching my cheeks.

"Ah sorry, I mean Teresa" She nodded happily while sitting in the chair right in front of me.

I almost forgot when okaa-san asked me to just say her name instead of the okaa-san like the others. As I recall, he's been this way ever since my father and onee-chan left.

Because it took too long to call her by just name, slowly I could no longer think of her as a mother anymore. The impression becomes like another onee-chan who has been separated for a long time.

The sound of a small rumble sounded from his mouth. His style of dress and hair changed drastically from what I had known since childhood. He is not the figure I know as okaa-san anymore. I don't know until when this change will be seen again, which is clear I feel I have lost a valuable figure that I make the reason my life is still in this world...

"Anu... Did you know the answer to my question just now?" I asked again with a scared face.

"Hmm?? Who is Kanzwaki Shiwori? Yes yes I remember. the Paganiniw.." the answer is unclear.

"Eat the food first properly, just talk" I said.

"Hehe's sorry Ta-chan, I remember how she was with that Greek lady. His music was flowing fast and fast like the ocean currents. The violin's play depends on his mood, if I'm like him it's like the sea. Sometimes calm and clear but can also be raging and uncontrollable. But that's the charm he has"

"The sea.."

"Yes right. Oh right because he looked like a sea incarnation, Kanzaki Shiori was a mysterious person just like the vast and deep ocean floor. Although it looks beautiful and calm outside, inside him there are so many mysteries until he realized the bottom"

"so yeah... Thank you"

"Together"

I began to know a little why he ran away from home and suddenly entered my school. Searching for trouble with me and creating a commotion at the beginning of his arrival. There must be something that she is hiding from others, she definitely just wants to be noticed and treated as an ordinary High School girl..

It could have happened, right?

That night, the black sky looked elegant with the stars glittering. In the silence of the night, I closed my eyes and imagined the figure of him. Surprisingly his entire body slowly began to fade and from the rest of his body came tears that looked like diamonds...

I looked up at the sky, staring at the thousands of stars from the balcony as I continued to think.

"What is the meaning of the lost word that you put out of your mouth?"

🌼🌼

On the other hand, Shiori was pensively looking with both of her eyes void of emptiness. His body shivered and then he sat down instantly on the floor.

Tears slowly came out from his eye patch, the roaring sound of wind coming in from the window of his room made his strands flutter.

Kanzaki got up and hugged the violin tightly while looking at the star-filled sky.

"It's just you, the reason I'm alive and surviving...Saki Arata - kun"
