Addy's Pov:
Few hours before going to school.
Me: "Finally... Finally.. How long has it been? The torture finally ends." I said as my body kept trembling from the aftershock. The hours of not moving and spasm against the wet mattress from my sweats, saliva and others substances.
I force myself up from the bed, but the moment I put weight on my leg, they gave out and send me back collapsing on the ground. I haven't eaten anything nor drink
I look up to see the system screen flashing before my eye.

EXPLANATION:

Me: "I need that... Purchase."
A green lights began to enveloping my weaken and sore body. It felt so warmth, like cuddling with someone.
Slowly, strength began to hold my leg again. I use the night table beside my bed to assist me.
As the light began to fade, my body return back into its original condition. Stretching my body to feel what I have lose for the past days.
I turn my head to look at my messed up bed. It was an absolute mess.
The time is showing 3am. So i guess i should clean it up before preparing for school. Ahhh such a pain.
.
.
After I washed my bed and put it on the clothesline. I get back into my room to getting ready for school.
I decided to make 2 lunch box because Marin just threaten my innocent self.
Also I noticed that my hair is gray and white for some reason. It was still a jet black color but with white streak.
This is part of the full body recovery? I don't know if this was normal.
.
.
Moment when Hoshina (Ai) entered.
Hoshina? A new student eh? Few weeks ago, Marin transferred in, now someone else?
Suddenly, screen appear infront of me.
STATUS EXAMINATION:
AI HOSHINO: 15 YEAR, 151 CM.
POWER: SYMPHORIA
What? Ai? Wait.. Is she in disguise? But last time she did, it was so obvious. Oh yeah, Marin! Right now Ai and Marin live together, with Marin cosplay skill, she should be able to make a good disguise for Ai.
.
.
Third Pov:
Current time.
Marin, Addy and Hoshina are having lunch at a secluded area of the school.
Marin: "Tch. I spent hours planning and made her disguise and you just saw through it in first glance?" She crossed her arm in annoyance
Ai: "Please don't be mad Marin. I'm shock too When Addy suddenly call me out" She holds Marin arm in assurances.
She definitely hears Marin's melody of pop slowly turn into a more sadden version.
Marin: "Yeah yeah yeah." She give Addy an side eyes.
Ai: "How do you know it was me anyway?" She said as her starry purple eye met Addy's dark gaze.
Addy: "I kind of guess... But what always pull me is your eye, they always capture me." He spoke in a slow and tender tone.
Ai's hearing that immediately quiet down and look over to Marin. Her face was block from Addy's view of sight.
Marin who was directly looking at Ai's face, startled because her face is so red like a tomato. Along with her yellow dyed hair it made her look more cute.
Ai: "W-what was that?? I don't H-hear it clearly." Her voice is shaking due to embarrassment.
Marin's who view this at this close, straight away gets the idea of what's happening, but also kinda disappointed with the Idol taste.
Marin: "Bad taste for someone like you, Ai." she said while arc her brow slightly, in teasing manner.
Ai don't get what Marin words meant due to her low awareness.
Ai: "W-what do you mean??" her flustered face couldn't be more of a hints.
Addy who just watches them speaking together in some kind of code.
Addy: "Hey guys. Come on, lunch time is still moving. Here eat these. I already ate." He lied about it.
Ai hearing the melody changes take a deep breath to stabilise herself.
Ai: "Lie. You haven't eaten anything yet." her face is serious this time. Her eyes is saying 'Please tell me the truth'
Addy: "if so.. Then I'll eat it later."
He said while pushing his lunchbox to Ai and Marin.
Ai: "Promise?" She while puffing out her cheeks.
Addy: "Yeah Promise." He said while holding out his pinky finger like a kid
Ai delightly seal the promise with their pinky intertwined.
Marin watching that felt.... Something. Something that made her heart twitch like someone poke it.
Marin: "What is this? Are you kindergarten kids or something? Grow up" She open the lunch box and began to feast on it. She really love Addy's cooking because she isn't a great cook.
Ai seeing that follow up and taste the dish. Its definitely good but not 5 star good but she still eat it proudly.
Ai: "Wow its so delicious!"
Marin: "right? That's why i threa-i mean i ask him to make it for me."
Addy just watches the character eat his food. He want them to keep living so he can live.
.
.
During chemistry class.
Marin who's in her nice girl act along with Ai in her Hoshina act are in one group with Addy and Rimu.
Marin: "Hoshina! You want to hang out later? Would you like to go to the mall or some-"
Due to her lose focus because of talking to much. Her grip lossen and drop the beaker.
The chemist teacher who heard that immediately went to their group and scold.
Chemistry Teacher: "Who drop it??"
Marin: "Umm it was m-" before Marin could finish her sentence Addy cut in.
Addy: "My bad teacher. It was me. I'll clean it up right away." He said with a straight, unbothered face.
The chemistry teacher let's out a sigh as he put his palm on his face.
Chemistry teacher: "Good thing it was you, Addy. I would let it slide. So please clean it up." he walk away from the group.
Marin: "Uh... Thanks." She is speechless about what just happened.
Addy: "Don't worry about it." he walk to the corner of the lab and pick the broom before cleaning the shard of glass.
.
.
Ai and Addy goes around to search for a club that suited Ai's Hoshina persona.
Addy follows from behind acting as a shield because..
.
.
.
.
Addy's Pov:
EVENT MISSION:
MISFORTUNE PERKS:
PROTECT AI FROM GETTING HIT OR INJURED WITHOUT ANY USED OF SIMULATION
REWARDS:
1000 COIN
COOLDOWN REDUCTION POINTS.
Huh...that is a good reward. Since 1000 coin usually gained from main mission.

Alright accept.

Third pov:
Then it began Addy defending Ai from her unfortunate scenarios.
While they were walking on the football field, ball suddenly flies towards Ai in high speed but get blocked by Addy.
Another one where they're walking pass the baseball field, a bat just fly out of nowhere but Addy catches them and return it back.
Ai didn't notice anything and just smile at Addy who's seems to cover the light of the sun from hurting her eye.
This series of unfortunate event happened.
Like when the walk pass the hallway, a saw just spun out from the craftsman clubs which Addy pull back Ai from hitting it.
Ai is still as clueless as ever.
Falling pod from the green earth club, iron sword from Sword club, arrow from the archery clubs and many more just starts flying towards Ai like she is a magnet.
Addy trying his hardest to kept the an aware Ai from dying each second.
.
.
After 1 hour of going around, Ai's gave out because she doesn't know what club to join and its important for marks.
Meanwhile Addy drop the handmade shield on the ground and lean against the wall.
Ai: "Hmm... Addy. How about I join your club?"
Addy: "Yeah... Yeah... Thats the best choice, you could've made for the pass hour" he said while breathing heavily is asthma began to kicking in.
Ai: "Hehe. Alright. Let's go to your club then."
.
.
After another minute of Defending Ai, they arrive at the All Doing club.
And the moment Ai open the door Blaze immediately welcome her in with a bright smile.
Blaze: "Welcome new club member!"
Ai: "But I haven't decided yet!" she said in surprise.
Blaze: "You didn't found any club did ya? Than just join this one! Here just write your name and about yourself."
Ai just let out a silent giggles as she write down her name, phone number and identification number.
Blaze: "ALRIGHT!!! WELCOME! NEW MEMBER!!"
Marin appear out of nowhere along with Rimu and throw up the confetti.
Marin and Rimu: "Welcome to Hoshina!"
Ai mouth began to widen and smile happily. As the melody of Blaze, Rimu, Marin and Addy combine into a very nice song.
Also Addy is barely alive from protecting Ai.
