**Finding Something Different** is the eighth chapter of Persephone's First Band Story.

## Synopsis

To clear up the problem, Izayoi decided to find Izumi and talk to her. How will Izumi respond?

## Transcript

[Courtyard, YamiTsume High School]

(Sazane hides behind the bushes)

**Sazane** : (Izayoi...)

**Izayoi** : Saika-chan...Can we talk?

(Izumi's face turns into disgust)

**Izumi** : ...Ew.

**Izayoi** : Ew...?

(Izayoi looks at herself)

**Izayoi** : (I wonder if it's because of all that running...)

**Izumi** : No, it's not your smell. I'm weirded out by what you called me just now.

(Izumi turns off her phone)

**Izumi** : "Saika-chan"? Yuck.

**Izayoi** : Hehe, sorry...

**Izumi** : Why are you sorry? It's not necessary.

**Izayoi** : Huh? Oh, okay...

**Izumi** : ...Anyway, regarding the favor that was from before.

**Izayoi** : Yeah, I was about to ask you about that.

**Izumi** : ...Forget it.

**Izayoi** : ...?

**Izumi** : To be honest with you, I never liked doing favors or having people owe me anything.

**Izayoi** : So...you'll forget about the favor?

**Izumi** : Besides, you stopped a fight for your friend's sake.

**Izumi** : And I respect that.

(Izumi smiles)

**Izayoi** : Ah... (See? She's a pretty decent girl, after all...)

**Izumi** : Then again...

**Izumi** : The fight happened because you're standing like an idiot at the door, anyways. So you trying to mediate the fight is technically YOUR responsibility to begin with.

**Izayoi** : Y-Yeah...

**Izumi** : Anyway, what do you want?

**Izayoi** : Oh, I want to have a chat with you.

**Izumi** : ...

**Izayoi** : Is that a no?

**Izumi** : ...We should introduce ourselves first. Ain't right talking to each other without a proper start.

**Izayoi** : You're right.

**Izayoi** : My name is Okumura Izayoi, from class 2-B.

**Izumi** : Saika Izumi, from 1-A.

(Izayoi offers her hand, but Izumi slaps it away lightly)

**Izumi** : Formality ain't my thing, sorry.

**Izayoi** : That's fine.

**Izayoi** : Are you done with the urgent thing you were doing just now?

**Izumi** : ...Yeah.

**Izayoi** : That's good.

**Izumi** : ...

(The two of them just looked at the sky quietly)

**Izumi** : ...Are you not going to talk?

**Izayoi** : Well, we can just stay like this for a little bit.

**Izumi** : I don't find the silence fun.

**Izayoi** : Sometimes, you ought to just enjoy the view and let the pretty sky kick in once in a while~

**Izumi** : You're really weird, Izayoi-senpai.

**Izayoi** : Hehehe. I get that a lot, actually.

(Izumi shrugs and shakes her head)

**Izumi** : But yeah, I agree about the pretty sky.

(Izumi then whispers)

**Izumi** : I just wish she could see this one more time.

**Izayoi** : Hm? What was that?

**Izumi** : N-Nothing!

(Izumi stands up and starts to walk away)

**Izumi** : I still don't get you that much, Senpai. But you're pretty nice.

**Izayoi** : Ahaha...

**Izumi** : Oh yeah, I guess it's my fault too for running without looking at what's in front of me.

**Izayoi** : Don't worry. You did nothing wrong.

**Izumi** : Well, I should go back to class. I'll see you again.

(Izumi leaves)

**Izayoi** : She's a very honest girl.

(Sazane leaves the bushes)

**Sazane** : Looks like nothing happened.

**Izayoi** : Sazane-chan!

**Sazane** : Let's go to class.

**Izayoi** : Okay!

[Rooftop, Lunchtime]

(Izayoi and the Shirokage Five are sitting on one side of the rooftop)

**Izayoi** : Yeah, turns out everything's fine.

**Kanata** : \*ding\*

(Kanata takes out a sandwich)

**Ayane** : Ooh, that looks great! Where did you buy it?

**Kanata** : Izayoi's mother made it for me.

**Kanata** : She also told me to share it with you guys.

**Yasumasa** : Oh, thanks!

(Sazane takes a bite)

**Sazane** : It's delicious!

**Izayoi** : Hehe, Mom's cooking are the best!

[Izayoi's Home]

**Sakuya** : IZAYOI!

**Izumo** : Whoa, what is it?

**Sakuya** : She called my cooking the best \*sob\*

**Izumo** : How did you even know?

**Sakuya** : A mother's instincts never fails!

**Izumo** : Mhm, okay.

[Back to Izayoi and gang...]

**Izayoi** : Oh yeah.

**Ayane** : ...?

**Izayoi** : Now that I think about it, all of you aren't in any clubs yet.

**Kanata** : Oh, right.

**Yasumasa** : ...This is one of the cons of studying in YamiTsume. You usually have to re-apply for clubs, which makes it rather inconvenient.

**Ayane** : Since Izayoi is a Class Leader, it's optional for you to choose a club, isn't it?

**Izayoi** : Yeah, but I did choose a club. The Storywriting Club.

**Fumino** : ...

**Sazane** : ...

**Ayane** : Uh...

**Yasumasa** : ...

**Kanata** : Nah, don't wanna.

**Izayoi** : I mean, there are still plenty of clubs left. And you guys probably have about two or three days.

**Sazane** : What happens if we don't have a club by then?

**Izayoi** : Reduction of scores.

**Sazane** : That doesn't sound so ba-

**Yasumasa** : And you're unable to leave class like now.

**Sazane** : ...

**Sazane** : L-Let's hurry and find one, quick!

(Sazane grabs Yasumasa and Ayane and quickly leaves the rooftop)

(Izayoi looks at Kanata and Fumino, and three of them laughs before they leave the rooftop as well)

[YamiTsume Karate Club Dojo, next to YamiTsume High School]

**Izayoi** : Since you guys have to keep up your training, I'd recommend some of the martial arts club.

**Fumino** : ...Karate, huh?

**Fumino** : Looks fun.

(Fumino knocks on the door)

**???** : Just a second.

(A huge student opens the door)

**Fumino** : ...!

**Izayoi** : Oh!

**???** : Do you need anything?

**Izayoi** : Fujiki-senpai! Hello!

**Oyamada Fujiki** : Hello, Izayoi.

(The mood goes silent for a bit)

**Izayoi** : ...?

**Oyamada** : Do you need anything?

**Izayoi** : Some of my friends are searching for a club. Can you help them out?

**Oyamada** : ...Sure.

**Oyamada** : I'll get the leader.

(Oyamada walks back inside the dojo)

**Fumino** : ...He's not the leader of the club?

**Izayoi** : Nope. The leader is a more...funny type of guy.

**???** : WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "FUNNY"?!

(Just then, a peculiar student jumps from the roof of the dojo)

**Fumino** : ...A ninja?!

(But the guy lands for a smooth landing, and then he falls over)

**Peculiar Student** : Ah.

**Sazane** : No, just an idiot.

**Kanata** : \*disappointed ding\*

**Izayoi** : Yoshishige-senpai, are you okay?

(The man starts standing and starts doing sumo poses)

**Yoshishige Kazuki, Karate Club Leader** : BAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN, IZAYOI?! I AM ALWAYS OKAY!

**Fumino** : Oh, great. He's still alive.

**Yoshishige** : HNGHHHH, MUST YOU KILL ME OFF SO EASILY!?

**Sazane/Ayane/Yasumasa/Fumino/Kanata** : Yes.

**Yoshishige** : GAH! TO BEAR SUCH SHAME IS SO...SAD.

**Yoshishige** : BUT ALAS...TO ACHIEVE A PEAK OF POWER, ONE MUST LEARN TO BEAR SHAME.

**Yoshishige** : HUAAAAAAHHHH!!!

(Yoshishige punches a tree with his bare hands)

**Kanata** : (Wh-What...?!)

**Fumino** : (That punch...It doesn't do anything to the tree, but...)

**Yasumasa** : (An "empty" punch...)

**Yoshishige** : I see you turned your backs...

**Yoshishige** : Are you interested now?

(Izayoi walks to the tree)

**Izayoi** : Eit!

(Izayoi punches the tree lightly)

**Yoshishige** : You're doing great, Iza-

(The entire tree falls down)

**Fumino** : ...!

**Kanata** : \*amazed ding\*

**Yasumasa** : Whoa...

**Izayoi** : Wow, one poke and it broke!

**Yoshishige** : I guess this tree needs some "barking" up!

**Everyone** : ...

(Everyone leaves)

**Yoshishige** : W-Wait...!

**Yoshishige** : Aww...

**Oyamada** : Way to go, Leader.
