5 New Skills (1/2)
”It has been a nice week. Becoming a highschooler again, studying in class, doing homework, ah I missed this feeling. Rather than as a job slave like before, being a highschooler is a nice change of pace. Now that weekend comes, I need to go to Kanade-chan's room to get my new skills later.”
It has been a week since he came to the Afterlife. Rafi has been making friends with many people in his class, especially Kanade-chan. He also always watched everytime GirlDeMo sang on stage. One time he also meet Naoi Ayato when Ayato was looking Kanade for student council's job.
In this one week, because of his persistent requests, Kanade finally allowed him to use Angel Player program. In return of allowing him use the program, Kanade asked him to accompany her helping everyone to pass on the next life. Remembering Kanade mild surprised face at that time brought a smile to his face, it was a good thing to start the day.
'Contrary to her usual calm expression, seeing her surprised face when I told her about her heart was a rare chance. It was definitely a surprise attack from her. Definitely. How can there is another cute thing comparable to Athena. I wonder how about Athena now', Rafi thought.

”Kanade-chan, let's have lunch in canteen.”
”Un.”
...
”Kanade-chan, are you still waiting for him?”, he said suddenly while eating mapo tofu.
”Hmm?”, Kanade tilted her head in confusion.
”The one that gives you his heart.”
”Buh”, Kanade choked on her mapo tofu.
”How?”, Kanade asked surprised.
”Ma..ma..don't sweat the details, Kanade-chan. I know that he will come to Afterlife.”
”Who is he?”, Kanade asked him in hurry.
”You will know who he is when he arrives here. Maybe he will ask you something stupid when you first meet.”
”Hmph.”
Imagining scene of Kanade and Otonashi first meeting, he laughed lightly at Kanade. While Kanade pouted slightly for lack of explanation from Rafi.

'Well, now Kanade-chan should still be gardening. I will visit her in afternoon. Considering I will be going to another world later, the world I come to might not be as peaceful as here. At least I should have basic fighting skill. Asking Matsushita Godan to teach me Judo should be an easy thing, a couple food coupons will do it. I remember that he likes Niku Udon isn't he. Hmm, he might be training in the forest now. Let's find him first', Rafi thought while walking to the forest.
After walking around the forest for a while. He found Matsushita Godan was training 'Seoi Nage' exercise against a tree.
”Hey, Matsushita Godan-san”, Rafi shouted lightly for greeting.
”Hmm...you are...the weird newcomer”, Matsushita said.
”Ugh”, grunted Rafi lightly.
”You are quite well-known in SSS.”
”Oh oh, looks like the great me is always famous wherever I am”, Rafi proudly said.
”As a someone brave enough to be erased, even when you don't know if you will be reincarnated as coral or insect.”
”Hey”
”Also as Iwasawa's boyfriend.”
”Ugh..,you might misunderstand it a little”, said Rafi with a bit red on his face.
'Looks like I need to talk with her again later', Rafi thought silently.
”That's what you're famous to. So, what might bring you here, newcomer”, Matsushita said lightly.
”My name is Rafi, Matsushita-san. The reason I am here is because I want to learn Judo from you, Matsushita-san”, Rafi said with bowing slightly.
”Hmm, aren't you going to school to be erased? There is no use practicing Judo then”, Matsushita said a bit confused.
”Well, it is one of my regret in life, besides going to school with friends. I want to do all the things I can't do when I was alive in Afterlife here.”
”Hmm...”
”Don't worry, I get so many Niku Udon coupons from Tenshi here. I will share it with you when I get it again later”, persuaded Rafi.
