Kuromaku

You and your family have moved to a new city. Naturally, you're going to a new school. And today is your first day there. This morning, you were a little late. Ten minutes. When you ran into class, your teacher, Mr. Lord, gave you a stern look. You apologized for being late.
Mister Lord: So you really decided to come after all? Hm, she's new.
He introduced her to the class.
Mr. Lord: So what is the reason for being late?

You: I overslept..

Sir: Horrible. But I'll forgive you this time. Go sit with...
He looked around the classroom, looking for an empty seat. But the only one available was Kuromaku the botanist, sitting in the front row.
Lord Lord: With Kuromaku! Sit down.
You sat down in your seat.
Kuromaku: Hello.

You: Hello.

Kuromaku: I am Kuromaku.
Kuromaku shook her hand and then looked back at the board where Mr. Lord was drawing something and explaining a new topic.

What the fuck?
