Though they were talking and searching with Kise, she was more than aware of two pairs of eyes looking at them with contempt.
They didn't even bother to hide it. She had thought Ringo would be able to tamper down on her dislike and do her job without a care in the world. Guess she leans heavily on the mood of this other person, Raiyon.
Are they some kind of sweetheart or something? If yes, then that vision she saw had no business with her!
"Now, every steps you take should be make carefully and calculatively." Ailee instructed Kise.
"But thats hard if I keep of calculating each of my steps, its like I am a newborn baby learning how to walk!" Kise complained. Ailee raised her eyebrow.
"Thats the point. You are relearning to walk properly, not walking on the path of disaster, understand?" Kise slumped over and Miya pat his back loudly. Kise almost fall over to the front but Ailee managed to stop his fall. Ailee shook her head looking at her unrepentent sister.
"Come on, we are just starting! This is for your own good. Being calculative is not that bad. It makes you even more careful and organized. Trust me. I'be been there. Once you mastered the arts, it'll become part of you and you can relax. It will become easier as it has been ingrained in your brain. Its only troublesome at the beginning" Miya didnt mentioned the time length she took as she thought different people takes different time to master it. Just like how she and her sister differs, Kise should be too. Telling him the time length and if he didnt mastered by that time will result break down.
She once insistently asked her mother the time taken to master it, her mother refuse to tell her for this reason. But in the end when her mother relent, soon after that she was so down because she could not get it even after the estimated time length.
Their mom had to scrap back all the lesson and make a new one to motivate her back. It was hard but she finally did it. Her mom did a lot of research via online, exchanging information with other parents and reading books to find a solution. Bow that she thinks about it, she feels guilty about it. Its a wonder why she never realise things before than now? Is this what it means growing up? She thought to herself.
"But really, while I'm practicing these.. can we search for the pendant, while I'm doing this?"
"Yes. We are finding it" said Miya, but her face scrunch up with distaste suddenly.
"What?" Kise look at her, puzzled Miya suddenly gone stone still. Only her expression was changing. Miya look at Ailee and Ailee feels something was wrong. She activated her barrier skill. Her sister was under mental attack. Oh and she knew who did it. She use silently send sonic roar and deflect it to the one who had sent mental attack to her sister, and the girl besides Raion suddenly scream and dropped, while holding her head.
Miya stiff body was instantly soften and she dropped. Ailee and kise caught Miya before she fall, thankfully.
"That was dung bettle experience" Miya sigh while rubbing her temple. Ailee made a note to create something like talisman to help her sister fend off stuff like that in the future.
Ailee didnt need to look at the pair of couple few yards away from them. She would rather just ignore them than confront them. They were a guest here and they need to mind their attitudes. Though, if this escalates she will no doubt going to make that girl understand that she should never mess with them. Ever.
"I think we should stop for today-" suggested Kise but Miya shook her head.
"Nah. I just need to sit down for a while and we will continue. I promised you, and I'm not going to break my promise."
Kise look at her long and hard, feeling a bit amazed seeing how Miya stuck to her words.
Meanwhile, Raiyon quickly took Ringo away the moment she had fallen, screaming. He was shocked to see she had gone pale and she was shaking non stop.
"What happened?!" One of the maid came and took her hand.
"I dont know.. she suddenly screamed and fell to her knees. Now she wont stop shaking"
Raiyon explained. Well, it was true. He didnt know because Ringo didnt tell him. But he suspected she did something toward one of the guests. It happened so fast. One moment, Ringo was smirking and tapping her lips. The next the little guest was in pain. And the next second, Ringo was screaming in pain.
It happened in a split of a second only. Sadly, Raiyon only thought was, he was impressed on how fast the reaction or respond they had to deflect it. If he was the one who did that, will he be able to ready himself to handle such attack and counterattacks smoothly, he wonder?
"Can you please take her to rest? I think she is not feeling well."
"Alright, young master." They bowed and gently lift Ringo with them. Raiyon look away and his mind filled with ideas on how to counterattacks if such thing were to happen to him, nothing more.
**********
Miya notice something as they walk. The guy had been practically stamping his face on the ground for at least every 100 meter walking. But walking or falling wont cannot make the pendant fall from his neck.
"Just a quick check. Were you wearing the pendant around your neck before that?"
Ailee look at her sister, sighing.
"Where else would he wear it-"
"No. I tied it on my belt" Ailee face palm herself and Miya grinned.
"And where is that belt? Because you werent wearing your belt yesterday when I met you."
"I took a bath at the river hill and-" kise stopped. "Oh" his voice dropped another note. He had realized how stupid he was and start running.
Before slamming his face on the ground again.
"I said, practice! Slow and steady" ailee grab his back shirt and lift him up easily. She give a loud pat at the back to remind him that his lesson should not be forgotten. Kise slowly organized his walk and slowly took a step.
Baby little steps.
Anyone who saw him would think that he look ridiculous but heck. If it could help him improve his life, this is fine by him.
It took longer time and practice until they reach the place Kise mentioned. It was a beautiful place. The river wasnt big but its flowing beautifully. The sound of the Water flowing is relaxing and soft wind blowing the grass and peonies and hydrangeas around them made the place even more appealing.
Kise went near a dead tree and saw it was still tied o. The dead tree branch. Thankfully. He took it and wore the pendant properly this time.
