Sonata No Kioku
08-The conduct of Miss Paganini

"I'm gonna be gone soon, so

forget about me! Whether it's my career or my talent, please... Forget it in your memories..."

This long-lasting silence, like the frozen surface of the sea in winter. A short sigh, a tense voice and a constant drip of sweat dripped down. At that time, the truth of the young lady's nature was revealed..

"Shiori-neesama?" The man beside her began to calm herself down shortly after the conversation was over.

"Well, ja-so like that? Then... Kanzaki-san please sit on that chair over there. And Tori-kun, you're sitting next to the class president huh"

Aya-sensei pointed towards the row of edges near the window that led to the field. When I looked away, I realized something. Yes really! There's an empty seat on my right!!

"... Gawat!!"—I also started fighting arguments in the head.

"Thank you, Sensei" said the man called Tori-kun.

"Oh yes, if you two have any difficulties or questions, please ask Touyama-san. He's the class president"

Kanzaki-san gulps his saliva and glances at his brother as a sign that he is fine. He occasionally reviews the classroom

with a piercing and unfriendly look, the,

before stepping off the podium without

vocalizing.

The classroom was silent. All of them

staring at each step as he walked

between a table and a chair. In the midst of the strange activity of the students, I still argue about the oddity of his nonsense speech.

"Is it true that he's going to disappear? How could a human be lost??"—I scratched my dizzy head.

And unknowingly the sound of the footsteps stopped right beside me. The head of Kanzaki-san who was initially lowered suddenly lifted up and showed a strange expression to me.

"—heh?"

"... He realized yes, if I was here?"–inku.

His index finger was now pointing right at me despite the trembling and he was shouting;

"Ke... To... To... Why are you here?!"

I reflexively buried my head into the table. I realized that the commotion had just started again, and I became more and more frightened lifting this mediocre face.

"Huh?! So then... Ta-chan and the violin lady know each other?"

Haruka immediately got up from her chair and looked at Kanzaki in confusion. Then forcefully raised my head, while staring intently. I shook my head quickly (this was done to avoid trouble with him).

"Aren't you lying?!" Demand Satoshi and Haruka.

"Really! I don't know him!! Not knowing at all. Maybe he saw it wrong, could it be that the person he met had the same face as me?" I finally lied.

I thought that way the problem would be solved, but that Kanzaki was making it even more out of plan.

"Why are you lying? Didn't you say that lying is a sin?"

"Let me be clear, miss, didn't you tell me to forget everything?"

"Well that! You remember right? Only the person I met could know that conversation!"

*Skak mat*

"But I told you to forget everything. So now I don't remember anything anymore, and who are you?" I tried to dodge again.

"Basic liar!!" Angry screams.

"You two.... Stop that and sit back!! The lesson will begin!!" The angry Aya-sensei exclaimed.

"Ma-sorry, Sensei.." said Kanzaki-san compactly.

After that Kanzaki-san and I were lectured by Aya-sensei for 1 hour. That's why we got late for the literature lessons I hated the most, and got angry with the famous old Sensei killer at school.

🎶

This mixed-blooded woman, does have a beautiful and charming face that tempts anyone. The reincarnation of the goddess Aphrodite (Venus). Although her outside looked like the perfect type of girl and was the target to approach, I chose to avoid her.

Since the day of his move and his half-brother in this school, Kanzaki-san continues to be surrounded by many students. Just looking at it was like an ant chasing sugar. Everyone who approached him must have questions various things thrown, as well as his half-brother who was the man.

"Why did he have to move at such a bad time anyway??" I frowned while grumbling in annoyance.

During the break time, Satoshi and Haruka found it difficult to get into the cafeteria because the group of netizens who had gathered with Kanzaki-san covered their path. Since there was only one way to the canteen, we were forced to break through despite the pressure and finally arrived as well.

"Hadeh, even though our school is only an ordinary high school and not an elite school, but the students here are like the fans" said Haruka.

"Really... Right, what surprised me was that he who was musical majored in painting for his main subjects. It is a mystery, young lady Paganini,." said Satoshi, acting pretentious.

"Eh? That right?" I asked the two of them.

In this school, we as students must choose one of the four choices of fine arts subjects as the main lesson. His subjects are, Music, Painting, Film/video art and calligraphy.

For a musician, must have chosen music as the main lesson because their future is guaranteed. But different from the many musicians, Kanzaki-san who is a violinist chose to enter the art of painting that makes his future on the brink of the abyss.

"His choice must be bird news, right?" My speech

"If you don't believe it, ask the person directly. You know" replied Satoshi coldly.

"You guys wait in the usual place, let me break through them all" Haruka said.

Satoshi and I nodded, then left the cafeteria and walked towards the seat near the Green house not far from our classroom building.

He then sat down with an irregular breath because of running. Without further admonition, his hand grabbed a few pieces of tamagoyaki belonging to my bento and ate them in one go.

"Why do you always spend my tamagoyaki?" I grumbled.

"Finally, the sweet composition fits my taste anyway." he replied innocently.

"Cie-cie, why aren't you guys dating anyway?" Goda Satoshi's. In an instant Haruka floated her fist right in her face.

"Basic duck! Keep your word or shut that chatty mouth!!" Haruka.

"Ba-good.."

Haruka glanced back at me, too,

"Hey Ta-chan, when and where did you meet that violin lady?" Ask.

"... Hmm, in a dream, huh?" I just answered.

"You want me to put you in the afterlife or to the hospital?!"

"Hahaha, just kidding. I was confused about where to explain it.."

"Oi, there's still plenty of time in the break hours finished. If the intention is to explain anyway, it should be enough" said Satoshi with a look as if he did not want any more rebuttal.

"Ah-hah, troublesome!"—batinku.

🎶

The hours of rest passed so quickly. Breeze also accompany other boring lessons in the middle of a hot day. My eyeball cannot escape the movements of the young lady who continues to show her antisocial behavior without feeling guilty. She looked so free as a queen in this class, why not, but others were busy taking notes on the material she was even enjoying the lyrics here and there without holding a pencil and opening the book at all.

I know he's a musician and the most respected person in music. But his current status is as a student, and his number one duty is to learn. There are some teachers who let him do whatever he wants. Not all teachers do that.

"Kanzaki-san" called Taro-sensei while taking off his glasses. Kanzaki who was busy playing her hair was now looking towards the angry looking Taro-sensei.

"From yesterday I saw that you did not pay attention to my father's lesson, as a punishment please do this" said Taro-sensei, who hit a marker on the podium.

A few minutes passed without success. In reality Kanzaki was still sitting in his chair with his hands folded on his chest, the impression was as if he was challenging the teacher.

"I don't want to" he answered.

Those words were spoken so honestly and so out of her tiny lips. All the students in the class were shocked and some of them, including me, thought he was cool. Because not necessarily I can say that to a teacher, even though I want to say it.

"Basic. For today I'm sorry, but you have to get good grades in the exam" Taro-sensei said.

"What the hell, if I'm the one who must be punished to stand in the hallway until the sports bell is, it's really cool that violin is." said Satoshi who whispered to me.

I just nodded in agreement because I couldn't say anything more. The bell marks the end of Taro-sensei's lesson also reads, the class leader immediately stood up and gave a warning to pay respect and then we immediately went out of class to change clothes.

"Directly gather at the stadium yes" said the class leader.

"Good" we all answered.

I changed my clothes in the locker room and kept my uniform in a locker, then walked out.

"Oi Arata, can you please get me my bottle in class?" Satoshi

"OK" I replied briefly.

"Thanks my Hero!!"

"What an exaggeration.."—batinku.

During my class trip, I heard a voice that looked like a conversation. And that voice came from my class. I walked slowly, trying not to make any noise and hiding behind closed doors. Then, I vaguely heard their conversationI'm like a stalker..

"Shiori-neesama, what's with your attitude like that? If Okaa-sama finds out about this from the principal, you can go into the 'room' again"

"Why are you so attentive? What does that have to do with you? This is my life!"

"... You know, her voice is like that violin lady"–batinku. I started to approach my ears again to make sure the conversation was over or not.

"I'm like this so you can come to your senses and get back on the path of music that's been guaranteed for a while..."

"Shut up! You only care about your future, right?! You're such a concern because your pianist reputation is threatened, right?! I said no, if... I'm gonna disappear"

"Onee-sama..."

"Oh, don't speak this language anymore. I'm fed up! Don't act like this to me anymore, 'cause... You don't know anything"

"Was.... Missing is true?"

My body leaning against the door suddenly slid back and fell against something.

"Bruck!"

"Ouch... Sa.kit..." My stint.

"Ka... You!"

A loud voice echoed in the empty classroom. Both of my eyes caught the figure of the young lady who was right behind me. His eyes were round with his mouth open.

What kind of situation is this? Is this what you call being caught off guard for listening to people's conversations?

"Ware...!"
