Description
“I’m sorry…” There really wasn’t much else she could say to the girl with vengeance in her eyes. What could you say to someone who just went through something that… horrific. Wait, we're getting ahead of ourselves, aren't we? You don't even know the main character yet. So let's go back to a couple weeks before the life of our wonderful protagonist Megumi Shiro changed dramatically.

-3 weeks ago-

It was a spring day unlike any other, cherry blossoms slowly fell to the ground outside the entrance of the famous Okisana Academy, and right nearby was the stunning young 16 year old, Megumi Shiro staring absent-mindedly at the beautiful petals as her long white hair slowly flowed in the wind.

"Megumi, you're gonna be late if you don't get a move on!" A very peculiar boy advised, snapping Megumi out of her absent-minded state.

"Sorry about that Shuichi. But you shouldn't be worried about me. At your size you're the one who should be worried about being late." She teased. Note, this wasn't jab at his height or anything it was genuine concern as the thing that was peculiar about him wasn't his looks or manner of speech (both of which were incredibly average), it was his size.

Shuichi Shinko, much like many other students at Okisana Academy, was a micro student whose height was roughly 0.49' (~12 mm).

"Crap, you're right!! Please Megumi, carry me to class. I'll be sure to return the favor!" He pleaded desperately looking back and forth at his watch.

"Dummy, I was gonna help you regardless! But I guess you owe me one don't you?" She smiled picking him up and placing him inside her shirt pocket.

"Hold on tight it might get a bit bumpy, Shuichi!" She rolled up her sleeves and ran as fast as she could towards her and Shuichi's class.

"Soo soft…" Shuichi mumbled to himself in light of his situation as he was pressed tightly against her chest. Rightfully so, for Megumi was what some would call 'pretty stacked' which also meant Shuichi definitely wasn't going to be getting the smoothest ride to class. As two of them were making their way to class a Shuichi started to reminisce about the day he met Megumi.

-1 year ago Okisana Academy Entrance Ceremony-

"Welcome, freshman, to the prestigious Okisana Advanced Studies and Arts Academy! My name is Akane Shinko, your student council president." Her passionate voice echoed throughout the school gymnasium

"As you may already know Okisana Academy is one of the most well-known mixed sizes schools in all of Japan whose student body consists of nearly 40% micro students. As students of this humble academy it's your responsibility to work and study in harmony with your fellow students no matter their size." She looked around at all the promising students until her eyes fell upon her younger brother Shuichi. Feeling more motivated than ever she continued her speech.

"Our school is at the forefront of true equality, and it's up to you promising students to shape not only the Academy's future but the future of our country! And now a few words from the disciplinary committee president Tsuyonomi Saikyou." She stepped back from the podium, prompting the Disciplinary Committee president to speak. However, who seemed to be the president at first was actually the vice president gently placing the actual president on top of the podium.

"To those of you who are willing to cause harm to any students on campus, please know we here at Okisana Academy have a ZERO-Tolerance policy on all accounts of bullying, or violence towards regular or micro students!!" She then went on about punishments and legal cases and other stuff like that. As someone who's heard a nearly identical speech from his sister the whole speech was boring Shuichi to death. Noticing this Megumi, who was sitting behind Shuichi began to whisper an introduction.

"my name is Megumi Shiro, I'm looking forward to being in the same class as you." This was the first time a regular girl (that wasn't his sister) had exchanged words with Shuichi so he was kinda in disbelief when she introduced herself.

"U-Um My name is Shuichi Shinko it's nice to meet you too." He looked back and became completely enamored with a certain part of Megumi's 'figure'. Soon after, the entrance ceremony had ended and each student walked to their respective classes, in which the two of them discussed their interests and life experiences. And before they knew it the two of had become great friends.

-Present Day-

Megumi and Shuichi had made it to class right in the nick of time. Out of breath Megumi slowly collapsed onto her desk.

"You owe me big time for that…" She breathed heavily as she took Shuichi out of her shirt pocket.

"J-Just ask me whenever you need something…" He looked away hiding his beat red face. Megumi was pretty dense when it came to romance and hadn't realized what her little gesture of kindness had done to poor ol' Shuichi's teenage boy hormones. However things weren't going to be all 'romantic comedy' for long as Megumi received a shocking text on her phone.

"Sweetie… your father got fired from his job. You'll have to transfer out of Okisana while we try to sort out our finances…" Her mom had texted and even through the phone Megumi could feel how sad she was telling her own daughter that she is being forced to say goodbye to all her friends and the school she loved.

Instead of bursting out in anger or sorrow Megumi just stared at her phone in complete and utter disbelief.

"Watcha looking at…" Shuichi silently read her text and started to back away in sheer shock.

"You're transferring?!?" He yelled out garnering the attention of some nearby students. Who, we're also shocked by the sudden news.

"B-But, you can't transfer out! You're our class rep." A student remarked.

"You're not only our class rep, you're my, no you're everyone in this class' friend. So please don't leave!" A female micro student who seemed to be on the brink of tears pleaded.

"I-I'm sorry!" Megumi said getting up from her desk, her voice was shaking from disbelief. Right as she stood up the teacher had walked into the room.

"Before, we start I have some unfortunate news to share about your Class Rep…" The teacher said looking at her clipboard. This further set in the fact that what was happening to her was indeed real and in an act of pure denial Megumi ran out of the room towards the nearby women's restroom to lock herself in a stall and lament.

The fact that she could make new friends at her school hadn't even occurred to her as she was mainly saddened by one thing, how her transfer would affect all the friends she'd be leaving behind, Shuichi especially. Truly the thoughts of caring person…

Megumi sat alone in the bathroom stall swiping through her phone's gallery reminiscing on all the memories she's made over the past year and a half.

"I'm such an idiot…" She put her phone down, took a deep breath, and slapped herself in the face as hard as she could finally deciding to embrace this new chapter of her life.

Now optimistic about the future Megumi confidently walked back to class. On her way there, she thought about all the positives of moving to a new school. Maybe-- she could make some new friends or even start a club. She kept filling her mind with all the positives imaginable, but one thing kept her from being truly optimistic about her situation, Shuichi.

"Why do I keep thinking about him?.." She contemplated for a second until the reason as to why she couldn't get him out of her head finally hit her.

"Aha! Of course! Shuichi's my best friend, how could I possibly be optimistic about moving to a new school if can't talk to my best friend every day. Maybe I should ask for his number so I can talk to him while I'm there…"

Meanwhile at class, as Shuichi worried about how Megumi was feeling he felt a sudden pain in his chest that was comparable to how someone would feel if they'd just been friendzoned by their crush.

"Are you OK?" A student asked in response to Shuichi's sudden reaction to the pain.

"I'm fine." He said confused as to why the pain only lasted a couple seconds, but that wasn't important right now as Megumi finally got back to class.

"I'm so very sorry for walking out of class Tachibana-Sensei!" She stood by the doorway expecting to be reprimanded. But instead of getting lectured the teacher just tapped her lightly on the head with her clipboard.

"I won't reprimand someone for reacting irrationally, when they have a valid reason. Just sit down and use the rest of the class period to spend as much time with your friends before you transfer." The teacher said before putting her hand on Megumi's shoulder and writing 'study hall' on the white board. As Tachibana-Sensei left the class Megumi decided it was an appropriate time to give an early farewell speech.

"To all the people in this class who've supported and accepted me, thank you! I truly appreciate you all for giving me memories that I'd cherish forever. I'll always remember all of you and everything you've done for me. As your friend, class representative, and student council vice president I hereby say goodbye." She bowed, prompting a round of applause from the rest of the students.

"Hey Shuichi, I know Megumi might be a bit dense but you might wanna confess your feelings to her while you still can." One of Shuichi's friends whispered to him as he stared at Megumi.

"C-Confess my feelings?! What the hell are you talking about!" Shuichi, yelled covering his friend's mouth. The thought of asking Megumi out has been in Shuichi's mind since the first time they met, however after seeing both micro and normal students crash and burn in their attempt to ask her out he kinda figured that it was a lost cause, but if he didn't confess now he might regret for the rest of his life.

So in order to prevent that situation, Shuichi gathered all the courage he had within and convinced himself that as soon as Megumi returned to her desk he was gonna confess his feelings no matter what. At least that was the plan because as soon as Megumi returned to her she asked an interesting question.

"Since I'm leaving… wanna exchange numbers?" She asked in such a confident manner that you'd wonder if she really understood the implications that the question posed however, Shuichi was so happy after hearing those words that it didn't even occur to him. Instead Shuichi's mind was filled with many extremely mild perverted thoughts that included, but were not limited to, calling one another in the bath, exchanging cute pictures of themselves, and even… having late night romantic conversations with each other. He was so spaced out and flustered at that moment that he failed to notice Megumi calling out to him. Until she gently placed him on top of her desk.

"Hey Shuichi! Are you still there?" She asked slowly snapping him out of daydream.

"Yeah! I-I was just thinking about how… I also wanted your number!" He let out a nervous laugh and awkwardly pulled out his phone. After the 2 had exchanged numbers Megumi, who wanted to see if it worked tried to send Shuichi a cute picture of her cat accidentally sent a picture of herself in a frilly white bikini. Shuichi was so astonished by what he had seen that he dropped his phone. He couldn't understand how Megumi inherently had the power to be both extremely seductive and innocent at the same time.

"Sorry about that, wrong image my bad." She giggled and politely apologized, somehow not minding the fact that Shuichi now had a picture of her in a provocative bikini. Megumi believed that being seen in a swimsuit wasn't exactly a big deal even if it was a boy.

"Well at least I know it works."

Time went on and goodbyes were said until it was finally the day of Megumi's transfer. Before officially leaving Okisana, Megumi visited the school one last time in order to say goodbye to her most cherished friends and each member of the student council that supported her throughout the year. And as she was about to leave the main gates one last time Shuichi finally mustered up the courage and confessed to her.

"Megumi, before you go I wanna say one last thing!" He yelled out to her, his face was glowing a bright red from how flustered he was.

"What is it, Shuichi?" She asked kneeling down in front of him.

"I-I…LOVE YOU!" He passionately exclaimed extending his arm out to her.

"I've loved having you as a friend too, Shuichi! Please don't be too sad that I'm gone OK." She said smiling sweetly at him. As much as he wanted to be internally depressed about what she just said, Shuichi, deep down was actually relieved that he was finally able to get that weight off his chest. 'What did I expect?' He thought to himself and laughed. Until Megumi decided to pick Shuichi and whisper something to him.

"Just kidding..." She giggled and placed gave Shuichi a small kiss on the cheek, though given the difference in sizes it was more like a kiss on his entire body. Feeling the softness of her lips, and warmth of her breath, momentarily gave him a feeling a complete and utter bliss, and upon placing him back on the ground Megumi ran off waving back to Shuichi as she left. Completely speechless he just stood there with a giddy look on his face.

With her last goodbye said, Megumi was finally able to leave Okisana behind with a smile. She knew no school could compare to it, but that didn't phase her. For better or for worse she was gonna continue her school life no matter what and she planned on enjoying every minute of the next chapter of her life. But things don't always go according to plan…
