Editing Fuyuu Gakuen no Alice and Shirley:Volume1 Chapter1 (section)

=== Part 1 ===

The first day at a new school, 7:22 a.m.

Masaki landed at Canaan, the floating academy city.

"Phew, it's so hot..."

As he walked out of the train lobby through the automatic doors, and out of the air conditioning, the hot air instantly travelled down the nape of his neck.

When he looked up at the sky, the sun was shining so brightly that he seemed to hear a dazzling sound.

Because the island was floating, it looked like one could almost touch the clouds. 

"As expected of a floating city!"

Canaan was a huge town, floating 1000 meters up in the sky.

The entire area was said to be 24 square kilometers big which is almost the size of a ward in the Tokyo Metropolitan area.

The only way to get there was by taking an Air Train.

In front of the main gates of the train station, there was a plaza, in it’s center was a water fountain, and beyond that there were department stores, restaurants and recreational buildings. It was a place that bustled business, and a happy aura hung in the air.

The second floor was composed of  nothing but walkways and plazas, while the vehicles moved about beneath them on the ground floor. The walkways and roadways were completely separated from each other; which was a rare cutting-edge design in this era.

––A cool cup of ice tea would be great.

No, it's nearly time.

Masaki resisted the temptation and after doing some quick sightseeing of the area in front of the station, He began to look for the meeting place.

"Erm...was it a triangular monument?"

He couldn't find it.

The person he was trying to meet up with was his childhood friend.

Seven years ago, before she changed schools, they were in the same class in elementary school. They had played together a lot.

The girl who was better at climbing trees than anyone else, who was a faster swimmer and would get into a fights with boys without any hesitation; she was now a high school student.

When he thought about how her feminine charms must have blossomed since he last saw her, Masaki began to feel embarrassed, This complicated his feelings about about meeting up with his childhood friend again. After so long, How would he greet her? 

The sound of running footsteps approached him.

"Hmm?"

"Masaki–––!!"

His field of vision was covered in white. Something soft was touching his face.

A cushion? 

Big, soft and round.

And the weight of it completed covered him.

After regaining control of his mind, Masaki finally noticed the person that was hugging him tightly.

"I can't...!?"

"Funyaa!! It's the real one alright. It's definitely the real Masaki!!"

"Pa, painful..."

"This smell, I miss it sooooo much!"

"Bre, brea...?"

"Huh? What's wrong Masaki? What'cha trying to say?"

"I'm gonna die......"

"Ehh!?"

She finally let go of him just as he was about to collapse.

His face was released from the amazing softness that covered it, and he could now breath again.

Masaki let out a deep sigh.

"This air sure is amazing"

"Ah, yeah it is. It's because the academy floats above the sea, and cars that emit exhaust fumes are prohibited."

"That wasn't what I meant, but. Haha...I'm relieved that you haven't changed any more than I thought you would. It's sure been a long time, right Shirley."

"Nihaha, long time no see, Masaki! But I don't think that there's a single part of me that hasn't changed. Look at me, there's a whole bunch of stuff that's completely different.”

She stuck out her chest proudly in order to show it off.

A wide tie and a short sleeved blouse with a large collar, as well as a red-checked pleated skirt, it looked like a school uniform.

Her hair which she used to keep short, now flowed down her back, her eyelashes were long and her arms and legs were petite.

Above all else, the size of her chest was overwhelming; a voluminous bulge that called attention to her and her feminine charms.

The amount she had changed was like an impact to him.

Was it because of her family heritage?

She was called "Sakurazaka Shirley", and Masaki was pretty sure her mother was an American. 

"...Well of course you’ve changed, you've grown up after all."

"Isn't that right!? I'm 30 centimeters bigger now!"

"E, even if you say centimeters, I wouldn't know."

"Hmm, now I'm about 159 centimeters tall, I think. What about you? You're taller than me now, aren't you?"

Shirley reached out to pat Masaki's head.

He realized that he completely misunderstood her and involuntarily blushed.

"Ah, yeah, our heights! That's right, we were talking about our heights, yeah."

"Hmm?"

"My height–"

While they were walking.

Shirley told Masaki about the town that she had lived in for seven years, as they made there way towards their school.

Well, this is the Floating Academy Town Canaan. So they quickly reached the school.

Masaki and the other people around him faced one of the huge school buildings that were in the town.
