Utsuro no Hako:Volume1 13118th time
I look at the transfer student Aya Otonashi, whose name I don’t yet know, standing on the platform.“Aya Otonashi.”
The transfer student murmurs only this to her classmates in a low voice, as if she doesn’t care whether we can understand her. Nevertheless, her voice is clear.
—Yeah. I already know her name. I have just heard it for the first time, though.
Everyone holds their breath. Not because of her blunt, simple self-introduction
that wouldn’t even count as greeting. It is probably because she is stunningly beautiful. She effortlessly stands out from everyone in the room.
Everyone waits for her next words.
She opens her mouth.
“Kazuki Hoshino.”
“…Huh?”
She calls out my name for some reason. Everyone in the class looks at me with questioning looks. Don’t look at me like that, I’m clueless myself.
“I’m here to break you.”
She suddenly proclaims.
“This is my 13,118th ‘School Transfer’. Even I can’t help but get annoyed after so many. So for a change, I’ll declare war this time.”
She doesn’t even spare a glance for our dumbfounded classmates, but gazes at me alone.
“Kazuki Hoshino. I’ll make you surrender. Better give me your most precious thing soon. Resistance is futile. Why? That’s simple. Because I am—”
Aya Otonashi forms a smile and proceeds with her sentence.
“—always by your side, no matter how much time passes.”
