Well, this is my first attempt at writing an SI multicross, as well as my first attempt to write a story in English, so do not be surprised if you see too much bad grammar in this story.
With nothing more to say I leave you with the first introductory chapter.
So many plans, so many possibilities, power, fame, money, there are so many things that I want to achieve since I reincarnated in this body and I got these skills, which I have not stopped thinking and planning since I was reborn.
A ball of paper hits my head to get me out of my thoughts. I turn to see the offender just to see that the dwarf looks at me annoyed, apparently realized that she was not paying attention to the classes, why does that girl not stop bothering me?
I turn around and ignore her, pretending to pay attention to the classes, the teacher simply says things that I know, not for nothing I was considered a prodigy since my childhood, although that usually happens when an idiot decides to reincarnate an adult in the body of a child.
Finally, after what seems like an eternity, the bell sounds announcing lunch, the teacher ends the class and says goodbye, while the children around me quickly leave the room and take their bentos to eat, I wait patiently in my seat, unlike them I do not bring a bento with me, nor money to buy something, I have always seen it as something unnecessary for me.
I decide to take my Japanese book to learn the language better, although it is true that I have mastered Japanese almost perfectly, I prefer not to risk forgetting something important, since my main language has always been and will continue to be English.
"Hey did not you bring lunch again Yuudai-kun?"
I looked away from my book to see the dwarf in front of my seat, let out a sigh and just nodded, not bothering to give a verbal response.
She smiles.
"I imagined it, that's why I asked Okaa-san to prepare one for you."
She holds a box of bento in front of me, I roll my eyes, I keep my book and I get up from my seat. At this point, I learned not to contradict this girl, she is too stubborn to accept a "no".
I decided to take the bento from her hands and I go to the door, I hear her hurried steps behind me until I see her take a position next to me, this is something that has become a routine since last year.
"Alisa-san and Suzuka-san are waiting for us on the roof, I told them to leave without us."
I nod and continue on our way, the corridors are traveled by students of varying degrees who go to the dining room, to the roof or just chatting among themselves.
In the course of the trip, the dwarf begins a conversation about the task that the teacher left her, I do not address a word, but still she continues talking without worrying about that.
Like I said, this girl is very stubborn.
Finally, we reach the roof, open the door and, without waiting for the dwarf, I go to the usual place, the dwarf shouts my name and speeds up his pace, shortly after she passes me and reaches where the other two brats are.
"You two took too long." the pampered girl with brown hair tells us as she looks at me.
If you're going to get mad at someone who is with the dwarf, I never wanted to come here.
"Sorry, there were a lot of people in the corridors," the midget apologizes as she scratches her head awkwardly.
Her spoiled child sighs "It's okay, it's not your fault for Nanoha, but I'm sure if someone had left the room quickly when it was due, you would have arrived earlier"
She starts to point her head at me, well, if you have something to say, do it and let yourself be diverted.
"The important thing is that they are here, now we can eat together"
The shy girl enters the scene to calm a spoiled girl, you have done well, I do not want to endure their incessant conversation.
They three brats sit on the bench near the edge of the roof, I prefer to sit on the floor next to them, I would like to sit a little further, but it would be ungrateful if we consider that the dwarf brought me a bento .... again.
Them start chatting animatedly while they eat, I keep quiet and listening vaguely to their conversation, from time to time they ask me questions, mostly the dwarf to which I simply nod or give a grunt in response.
This has become routine since almost the beginning of last year, being honest it is very annoying to live with children who are mentally 30 years younger than me, especially when they are 3 annoying girls who do not stop talking about trivial things.
On the other hand, it is an advantage that one of those girls, more specifically the dwarf, is Nanoha Takamachi, who would have imagined that I would run into the infamous white demon? To know her was a blessing, thanks to her I know what universe I am in and the actions I must take to accumulate power.
Not to mention the fact that she's still not a magical girl, which makes it even better since I can take over Raising Heart when Yuuno arrives.
Unfortunately I do not know the date it will happen, so I've been forced to interact with her and endure her attempts to become my friend, pfff that stupidity.
But going back to the issue of accumulating power, when I realized which world I was in, I immediately set to work and tried to use magic, unfortunately it was not as easy as I expected and it took me about half a year to see results, very poor results, but results, after all.
Probably I would have accomplished it in less time if I had seen and interacted with a magician in advance, but there is none in the city of Uminari, and I do not remember any mention in the series before the arrival of Yuuno.
I could have waited until the canon events happened, but I do not want to be helpless when the time comes to steal from Raising Heart, not to mention the fact that I had waited 7 damn years to know what world I was in and the kind of power that was able to use my body.
He took a sausage in the shape of an octopus and I eat it, I hate to admit it, but the bento brought to me by the dwarf is delicious, better than the instant meals I'm used to.
The little girls ask me something again, I give a grunt of confirmation and go back to their talk, god, those girls are too persistent, but I have to endure them, for the sake of my desire.
Omnipotence
I finished the last remains of "my bento" and handed the empty box to the dwarf.
"Thank your mother for me"
His expression lights up and he nods fervently.
After that they keep talking, the only thing I do during the rest of the break is to sit by their side and listen vaguely to what they say.
The trio of girls accompanies me along the way, following with their happy chats, are all the children so noisy or are these three just? I swear by God that when I become omnipotent I will prohibit the birth of more children.
Speaking of births I can still perfectly remember mine ... stupid traumas.
I can not help having a small shiver when I remember such an event, so many things that no sane and healthy man should have experienced.
"Yuudai-kun? Are you cold? "
I shrug my shoulders at the shy girl's question, if I start to respond they will take it as a sign that I am opening to them, and I refuse to give them the impression of such a thing.
The trip to classes continues in the same way as always, they chat, I keep quiet, from time to time the dwarf tries to make me join the conversation, I give short answers or growls, they keep chatting and I stay on the sidelines.
Just another normal day.
The bell sounds announcing the end of classes.
The teacher gives us one last warning before saying goodbye, the children in the classroom pick up their things and chat happily, I take my time to collect my things, when the classroom was almost empty I head towards the exit where the trio of girls are waiting for me.
"Ah, Yuudai-kun if I could talk to you for a moment please."
The professor calls me and I turn to look at him what will he want? Well I guess it would not hurt to find out, I nod and approach him.
"Is there anything Sensei needs?"
"Ah, nothing important, I was just wondering how I was living alone."
He says it with a kind voice and expression, Ukitake-sensei has always been an outstanding teacher of his students, but above all of me considering my special circumstances.
"I have done well as always sensei."
He nods and I notice his gaze moving briefly to the door, where the three brats are still waiting for me.
"I'm glad to hear that." He says with a sincere voice and a smile on his face "I'm also glad to see you've made a few friends."
I can not help but wince at his last comment.
"They do not leave me alone no matter how much I ignore them, especially the brown hair dwarf."
Ukitake-sensei lets out a short laugh at that.
"Yes, despite not knowing her so well, I know that Takamachi-san is a very kind and stubborn girl, she will not leave you in peace so easily."
"I've noticed." i muttered to myself.
"Anyway, I just wanted to ask that, and remind you that if you have any problems do not hesitate to call me."
I just nod, although it seems to be enough to satisfy him as he gives me a little pat on the back and pushes me towards the exit. If only all the professors were like him, then the average suicide rate in Japan would be much lower than it is today.
"'What did you talk about with Ukitake-sensei?"
The spoiled girl does not waste the first opportunity she has to interrogate me, I simply respond with an "nothing important" and continue walking, they again follow behind me while chatting animatedly about today's classes.
The spoiled girl and the shy girl finally say goodbye to us and leave in a limousine straight to their homes. Did you ever mention that they were rich? I have been in their houses before, or rather mansions, if mansions, like those buildings you see in films that are 4 stories high, contain hundreds of rooms, too large and super luxurious lands, with butlers serving them delicious and exotic foods and satisfying all your needs at every moment of the day.
Meanwhile I live alone in a two-story rented house by myself and eating mostly instant meals or ordering fast food for dinner.
Life is so unfair.
The dwarf walks silently with me to the bus stop, or rather I accompany her to the bus stop, we live in opposite directions so we take different buses, the only reason why I accompany her is because she is the only one form with which it occurs to me to pay him for the benthos he always brings me.
I swear to God it's just for that.
Finally we arrived, the stop was empty of people so we could both sit in the pews freely, the dwarf still keeps the silence, but is humming a melody while moving her feet energetically.
It's the image of a 9-year-old girl, it's hard for me to even imagine what kind of monster it will be in the future, or it would be if I were not here.
"Can I ask you a question?"
She finally breaks the silence, I shrug my shoulders in confirmation.
"I know it can be a bit rude to ask you this and you do not have to answer if you do not want to, but ..." She shut up thinking about whether it was right to continue.
"Just spit it out."
A little unsure of herself she finally speaks "What is it like to live alone?"
Uh, I did not expect this kind of question from her, considering that Nanoha and her friends avoid that problem like the plague around me.
Well, I do not think there's much harm in answering that question.
"Bored, lonely, annoying, but ignoring those parts is actually pretty good since I have a lot of freedom for me." Which was true, especially the part of being lonely, as a human being I am forced to seek the company of other people to I do not feel alone, it is a pity that the only people I can interact with are children 9 years old or younger.
"You must feel very sad to be alone."
I raised an eyebrow at that "No, I really appreciate my loneliness, although it would not hurt to have someone with whom I can talk about certain things."
"You know you can talk to me whenever you want."
"You are not the right person to talk about such things, I doubt you understand something I say so it would end up being a waste of time for both."
She keeps silent after that, I guess she's thinking about what to say to change my opinion about it, but before she can open her mouth to say something the bus finally arrives stopping in front of us.
The dwarf is conflicted about continuing to talk with me or taking the bus, so I decide to dismiss to save us both problems.
"It's time for you to leave or you'll miss the bus, see you on Monday"
I get up from my seat and turn around to go to my own stop, but before I even manage to advance a few steps something holds me firmly by the arm.
"You can not know until you try!" Her voice sounds strong as she holds me up, I can see her determined gaze fixed on my eyes, strangely she almost never raises her voice.
Ah true, for a moment forget who spoke, she will not give up so easily.
"Even if I can not understand that, it does not mean that I do not want to know what you like or what you think." she says with a firm voice, determined to convey his thoughts about it "So, please, next time talk to me a little about what you like. "
The bus leaves leaving us both standing alone on the sidewalk, she still holds my arm tightly as if waiting for an answer from me.
I am tempted to leave and leave without saying a word, but there is something that prevents me from doing it, I do not know if it would be because it would be cruel to do that to a girl, the way she is looking at me, waiting for my answer, or simply for the words she said.
And against all possibility I begin to consider talking to her about it.
Damn it, it's for reasons like this that I did not want to get too involved with her.
I drop a sigh in defeat. "Your bus is gone, now we'll have to wait for the next one"
The dwarf releases my arm and I can appreciate a bit of disappointment in her eyes.
"Sometimes I wonder why today's society is so behind with technology." I notice the confused look she gives me, but I ignore her in favor of continuing "I mean, we've had more than two thousand years to make great advances, but still we are still stuck using telephones with keys and without being able to travel freely through space."
"Eh?"
"I blame the witch hunt and the religious people about it, if they had not crossed out to certain scientific advances as witchcraft then modern technology and medicine could have been more advanced." I notice his look still confused in my direction, I sigh "Why? do you see me like that? Were not you the one who wanted me to talk a little about what I think? "
It takes a moment to process what I said before his facial features changed from disappointment to happiness.
"Although if you want I can stop." is worth trying.
"Do not! Please continue, I want to hear what you have to say! "The dwarf denies fervently with her head, her voice sounded excited and happy, as if she had received the best gift in the world.
For the next 10 minutes I talked to her about my thoughts with the advance of technology and science, I'm sure she does not understand anything of what I say, but still decides to listen carefully, from time to time she asks questions about words who does not understand, to which I explain in the simplest way possible.
This continues for a while before the bus finally arrives, we say goodbye in the usual way, although it is impossible not to notice the happiness that is shown in the face of the dwarf.
I will never admit it out loud, but this has been one of the few times in this life that I have been relieved to have a talk with someone.
The place where I am staying is not so far as to require the bus, the same could be said of the home of the dwarf, it is just that taking the bus consumes less time than walking, and in a country like Japan where its students They spend most of their time studying, it is necessary to get home quickly to rest or do homework.
Seriously, being Japanese sucks, it may not be that difficult right now, but once you get to high school and college everything gets too complicated.
On the other hand, I may become an omnipotent being before I get to college, so I do not think I need to continue studying after that.
The journey home is quiet and hassle-free, on the way there are many other people who have left school or work and go either home or to places to hang out such as the park.
The atmosphere that is breathed is calm, although everything is a little busy due to the crowd.
I come home after almost half an hour of walking, the neighborhood where I live is typical that you would see in any Japanese anime, clean streets, spacious houses and in general a quite quiet environment.
I took a key from my right pocket and put it in the door lock, however, I realize that it was already open.
I guess she is at home.
Remove the keys and enter the house. Immediately I received a delicious aroma that came from the kitchen, as I suspect, she is at home.
I take off my shoes and left them at the entrance, if I do not know that she will scold me because it is not correct, but I can say, in my original life I was American and there we do not have these customs.
"I have arrived." announced my presence as she told me that it should be done.
"Oh, a moment." a feminine and childish voice comes from my kitchen, it is not necessary to wait a long time to see a girl in a wheelchair get out of there and greet me happily "Welcome home."
I give him a small smile and I approach to ruffle his hair a little "I see you're preparing dinner, you should have waited for me to come back to help you."
"You must be tired of being at school all day, so I thought about preparing dinner so you could rest a little."
Even though I tell her that it is not necessary, she always does that when she comes to visit me.
"Give me a moment to keep my things and change and then I can help you prepare dinner."
She happily accepts and uses the control of her wheelchair to return to the kitchen, meanwhile I go to the room that is on the second floor, when i arrived I simply throw my backpack to the bed and proceed to change the uniform for something more comfortable.
I suppose she'll stay here tonight so later I'll have to prepare the bathroom so she can clean herself.
Once I finish changing, I quickly go down to the kitchen, although I know that she can prepare dinner easily even in her condition, I would prefer not to risk an accident.
"So, what about dinner?" I ask once I get to his side.
"I was preparing some stew."
I nod and start to help her, I will not deny it, preparing dinner with her help is actually quite comfortable, unlike the dwarf and her friends she does not bother me by asking unnecessary questions or talking about random things.
I guess part of that is because he knows my personality very well and he's afraid that I'll turn away from she if she starts acting that way.
Be that as it may, it works for me.
When finally the dinner is ready I ask her to clean the table so that I can serve the dishes, she accepts without any objection and after a while she finishes.
I proceed to serve the stew and we both eat, the dinner takes place in comfortable silence for the most part, with some questions thrown at me from time to time.
"By the way today you arrived later than usual."
"I stayed talking to the dwarf at the bus stop."
"The girl who never stops following you?" Curious question "I thought you did not speak to her."
I grimace at that.
"She was ... too persistent." I replied remembering the words the dwarf told me.
She laughs slightly at that "It must be if she could make you talk for so long."
"And now she will try harder." I muttered to myself, although apparently she heard it as her laughter increased slightly.
"You should bring her home so I can meet her, maybe I get along with her."
"Mmm, I'll think about it, but I do not promise anything." There's no way I can bring she; if I do, it is likely that Nanoha will visit me just to keep trying to be my friend, and also they are destined to meet at some point, if I had to guess between this year and next.
When we finally finished dinner I took the dishes to the sink, she offers to wash them, but I refuse saying that I will do it tomorrow.
"By the way, do you plan to spend the night here?"
Nod your head. "Only if it's not a nuisance for you."
"You are free to stay, should you prepare a bath?"
"Ah, it's not necessary, I've already taken one before coming."
"Well, in that case I'll prepare my own, we can watch television in the meantime if you feel like it."
She does not object, I go to the bathroom to warm my water while she watches television quietly.
When it finally gets dark, he took her to the room on the first floor, where we will both sleep, he took her in his wheelchair, although it is a little annoying considering the small space there is.
I open the door of the room and we both enter, when we got to the side of the bed I helped her to lie down and take shelter properly.
"By the way, how has your therapy gone?"
His expression lights up slightly when I ask him that question "Pretty good, look now I can move my feet more." she says with his hand towards his fingers that move under the sheets "It costs me some work, but the doctor says I can recover the totality of my movements over time. "
"I'm glad to hear that." Although it's still quite strange, if I remember correctly she should not be able to move any part of her legs, and the paralysis she suffers should spread instead of healing, but again nothing assures me that the universe in which I find myself will remain the same as the one I know.
I turn off the lights and lie down beside him to sleep, but not before setting the alarm on the alarm clock.
"Good evening Yuudai-kun."
"Good evening girl next door."
She makes a nice pout "Mou, how many times do I have to tell you, my name is Hayate Yagami, no girl next door."
I ignored their complaints and said goodbye once more "Whatever you say, good night anyway."
Despite her annoyance, she closes her eyes and smiles.
I can not help smiling slightly when I see her, but immediately I think about the reason why I bother to join her.
No matter what, I must remember that she and the other brat do not mean anything to me and that they are only tools for an end.
I repeat those thoughts in my mind until I finally fell asleep.
No matter what, they should not mean anything to me ... if only it were so easy.
With nothing more to say I leave you with the first introductory chapter.
-XXX-
I hear the teacher give her daily classes normally, I try to pay attention, but the ideas that enter my head simply do not let me.So many plans, so many possibilities, power, fame, money, there are so many things that I want to achieve since I reincarnated in this body and I got these skills, which I have not stopped thinking and planning since I was reborn.
A ball of paper hits my head to get me out of my thoughts. I turn to see the offender just to see that the dwarf looks at me annoyed, apparently realized that she was not paying attention to the classes, why does that girl not stop bothering me?

The classes of the day finally end, or at least the first part, I still have to go to more classes after primary school, reincarnate as a Japanese sucks, but I suppose it could be worse.The trio of girls accompanies me along the way, following with their happy chats, are all the children so noisy or are these three just? I swear by God that when I become omnipotent I will prohibit the birth of more children.

"Just spit it out."
A little unsure of herself she finally speaks "What is it like to live alone?"
Uh, I did not expect this kind of question from her, considering that Nanoha and her friends avoid that problem like the plague around me.
Well, I do not think there's much harm in answering that question.
"Bored, lonely, annoying, but ignoring those parts is actually pretty good since I have a lot of freedom for me." Which was true, especially the part of being lonely, as a human being I am forced to seek the company of other people to I do not feel alone, it is a pity that the only people I can interact with are children 9 years old or younger.
"You must feel very sad to be alone."
I raised an eyebrow at that "No, I really appreciate my loneliness, although it would not hurt to have someone with whom I can talk about certain things."
"You know you can talk to me whenever you want."
"You are not the right person to talk about such things, I doubt you understand something I say so it would end up being a waste of time for both."
She keeps silent after that, I guess she's thinking about what to say to change my opinion about it, but before she can open her mouth to say something the bus finally arrives stopping in front of us.
The dwarf is conflicted about continuing to talk with me or taking the bus, so I decide to dismiss to save us both problems.
"It's time for you to leave or you'll miss the bus, see you on Monday"
I get up from my seat and turn around to go to my own stop, but before I even manage to advance a few steps something holds me firmly by the arm.
"You can not know until you try!" Her voice sounds strong as she holds me up, I can see her determined gaze fixed on my eyes, strangely she almost never raises her voice.
Ah true, for a moment forget who spoke, she will not give up so easily.
"Even if I can not understand that, it does not mean that I do not want to know what you like or what you think." she says with a firm voice, determined to convey his thoughts about it "So, please, next time talk to me a little about what you like. "
The bus leaves leaving us both standing alone on the sidewalk, she still holds my arm tightly as if waiting for an answer from me.
I am tempted to leave and leave without saying a word, but there is something that prevents me from doing it, I do not know if it would be because it would be cruel to do that to a girl, the way she is looking at me, waiting for my answer, or simply for the words she said.
And against all possibility I begin to consider talking to her about it.
Damn it, it's for reasons like this that I did not want to get too involved with her.
I drop a sigh in defeat. "Your bus is gone, now we'll have to wait for the next one"
The dwarf releases my arm and I can appreciate a bit of disappointment in her eyes.
"Sometimes I wonder why today's society is so behind with technology." I notice the confused look she gives me, but I ignore her in favor of continuing "I mean, we've had more than two thousand years to make great advances, but still we are still stuck using telephones with keys and without being able to travel freely through space."
"Eh?"
"I blame the witch hunt and the religious people about it, if they had not crossed out to certain scientific advances as witchcraft then modern technology and medicine could have been more advanced." I notice his look still confused in my direction, I sigh "Why? do you see me like that? Were not you the one who wanted me to talk a little about what I think? "
It takes a moment to process what I said before his facial features changed from disappointment to happiness.
"Although if you want I can stop." is worth trying.
"Do not! Please continue, I want to hear what you have to say! "The dwarf denies fervently with her head, her voice sounded excited and happy, as if she had received the best gift in the world.
For the next 10 minutes I talked to her about my thoughts with the advance of technology and science, I'm sure she does not understand anything of what I say, but still decides to listen carefully, from time to time she asks questions about words who does not understand, to which I explain in the simplest way possible.
This continues for a while before the bus finally arrives, we say goodbye in the usual way, although it is impossible not to notice the happiness that is shown in the face of the dwarf.
I will never admit it out loud, but this has been one of the few times in this life that I have been relieved to have a talk with someone.

The way home is rather long, I spent too much time talking to the dwarf that I lost 2 buses and it would take a while before the next one arrived, I did not want to wait any longer to go home so I decided to walk.The place where I am staying is not so far as to require the bus, the same could be said of the home of the dwarf, it is just that taking the bus consumes less time than walking, and in a country like Japan where its students They spend most of their time studying, it is necessary to get home quickly to rest or do homework.
Seriously, being Japanese sucks, it may not be that difficult right now, but once you get to high school and college everything gets too complicated.
On the other hand, I may become an omnipotent being before I get to college, so I do not think I need to continue studying after that.
The journey home is quiet and hassle-free, on the way there are many other people who have left school or work and go either home or to places to hang out such as the park.
The atmosphere that is breathed is calm, although everything is a little busy due to the crowd.
I come home after almost half an hour of walking, the neighborhood where I live is typical that you would see in any Japanese anime, clean streets, spacious houses and in general a quite quiet environment.
I took a key from my right pocket and put it in the door lock, however, I realize that it was already open.
I guess she is at home.
Remove the keys and enter the house. Immediately I received a delicious aroma that came from the kitchen, as I suspect, she is at home.
I take off my shoes and left them at the entrance, if I do not know that she will scold me because it is not correct, but I can say, in my original life I was American and there we do not have these customs.
"I have arrived." announced my presence as she told me that it should be done.
"Oh, a moment." a feminine and childish voice comes from my kitchen, it is not necessary to wait a long time to see a girl in a wheelchair get out of there and greet me happily "Welcome home."
I give him a small smile and I approach to ruffle his hair a little "I see you're preparing dinner, you should have waited for me to come back to help you."
"You must be tired of being at school all day, so I thought about preparing dinner so you could rest a little."
Even though I tell her that it is not necessary, she always does that when she comes to visit me.
"Give me a moment to keep my things and change and then I can help you prepare dinner."
She happily accepts and uses the control of her wheelchair to return to the kitchen, meanwhile I go to the room that is on the second floor, when i arrived I simply throw my backpack to the bed and proceed to change the uniform for something more comfortable.
I suppose she'll stay here tonight so later I'll have to prepare the bathroom so she can clean herself.
Once I finish changing, I quickly go down to the kitchen, although I know that she can prepare dinner easily even in her condition, I would prefer not to risk an accident.
"So, what about dinner?" I ask once I get to his side.
"I was preparing some stew."
I nod and start to help her, I will not deny it, preparing dinner with her help is actually quite comfortable, unlike the dwarf and her friends she does not bother me by asking unnecessary questions or talking about random things.
I guess part of that is because he knows my personality very well and he's afraid that I'll turn away from she if she starts acting that way.
Be that as it may, it works for me.
When finally the dinner is ready I ask her to clean the table so that I can serve the dishes, she accepts without any objection and after a while she finishes.
I proceed to serve the stew and we both eat, the dinner takes place in comfortable silence for the most part, with some questions thrown at me from time to time.
"By the way today you arrived later than usual."
"I stayed talking to the dwarf at the bus stop."
"The girl who never stops following you?" Curious question "I thought you did not speak to her."
I grimace at that.
"She was ... too persistent." I replied remembering the words the dwarf told me.
She laughs slightly at that "It must be if she could make you talk for so long."
"And now she will try harder." I muttered to myself, although apparently she heard it as her laughter increased slightly.
"You should bring her home so I can meet her, maybe I get along with her."
"Mmm, I'll think about it, but I do not promise anything." There's no way I can bring she; if I do, it is likely that Nanoha will visit me just to keep trying to be my friend, and also they are destined to meet at some point, if I had to guess between this year and next.
When we finally finished dinner I took the dishes to the sink, she offers to wash them, but I refuse saying that I will do it tomorrow.
"By the way, do you plan to spend the night here?"
Nod your head. "Only if it's not a nuisance for you."
"You are free to stay, should you prepare a bath?"
"Ah, it's not necessary, I've already taken one before coming."
"Well, in that case I'll prepare my own, we can watch television in the meantime if you feel like it."
She does not object, I go to the bathroom to warm my water while she watches television quietly.

When it finally gets dark, he took her to the room on the first floor, where we will both sleep, he took her in his wheelchair, although it is a little annoying considering the small space there is.
I open the door of the room and we both enter, when we got to the side of the bed I helped her to lie down and take shelter properly.
"By the way, how has your therapy gone?"
His expression lights up slightly when I ask him that question "Pretty good, look now I can move my feet more." she says with his hand towards his fingers that move under the sheets "It costs me some work, but the doctor says I can recover the totality of my movements over time. "
"I'm glad to hear that." Although it's still quite strange, if I remember correctly she should not be able to move any part of her legs, and the paralysis she suffers should spread instead of healing, but again nothing assures me that the universe in which I find myself will remain the same as the one I know.
I turn off the lights and lie down beside him to sleep, but not before setting the alarm on the alarm clock.
"Good evening Yuudai-kun."
"Good evening girl next door."
She makes a nice pout "Mou, how many times do I have to tell you, my name is Hayate Yagami, no girl next door."
I ignored their complaints and said goodbye once more "Whatever you say, good night anyway."
Despite her annoyance, she closes her eyes and smiles.
I can not help smiling slightly when I see her, but immediately I think about the reason why I bother to join her.
No matter what, I must remember that she and the other brat do not mean anything to me and that they are only tools for an end.
I repeat those thoughts in my mind until I finally fell asleep.
No matter what, they should not mean anything to me ... if only it were so easy.
