" Whatever I learned,
Whatever I knew,
Seems like those faded years of childhood that flew,
Away in some dilemma,
Always in some confusion,
The purpose of this life,
Seems like an illusion!"
-- Mehek Bassi.

Airi looked around at how pitiful the whole scenario appeared to be and felt the presence of an incoming headache.
Can't these two guys tone it down a little?
What has she gotten herself into?
_￣))
Nothing good comes out of when you are accompanied by these two and Airi certainly had understood this as much!
Airi made a mental note to keep away from these fellows soon after she gets out of this place!
─=≡Σ((( つ＞＜)つ
" Heh? It seems that the stuck up Immortal Lord of Daemon Valley has lost his vigor? tsk tsk...now he can't even deal a single blow to this grandfather! Ha ha ha... "
" This Lord your greatest grandfather doesn't need his capability to deal with a sissy wimp such as you! It's beneath my concern to take you as a worthy opponent! "
" You...who did you call a sissy huh? I'm mistress's one and only Mio'er. Even if you don't deem me as an opponent, it's none of my concern. I'll just leave my capabilities in the hands of a prodigy such as my mistress! "
" Tsk...tsk... you greatest grandfather? Hehe, my Mistress is the finest bud about to bloom, epitome of pure innocence and so certainly doesn't need a skirt chasing oldy after her!" Mio'er evilly sneered at Jun Jie having his fun time jeering at the other.
" You! Don't you dare malign her. You are nothing but an embarrassment... I would rather have her taken away from the likes such as you! "
"..."
Eh? So each of you think the other as an embarrassment?
Have me taken away?
(ಠ.ಠ)
(o_O) ?
Should I enlighten you guys that both of you are nothing but a nuisance and that I clearly want to steer clear away from the likes of you!
Why? Why me!
What in the world did I do to have gotten myself involved with these two eccentrics?!
(ノ°Д°)ノ彡┻━┻
Airi was satisfied with leading a solitary life. Such chaos and mess within a span of just a single day had all out of a sudden disrupted how she viewed and lived her life.
She was never really familiar with such a lifestyle, who practically led a life like that of a hermit!
Maybe even a hermit wouldn't live such a reclusive unsociable life-- A colourless odorless tasteless lifestyle, one such as her!
Airi was forever a loner.
She had never been addressed to a situation such as this. And so Airi often found herself at her wits end when dealing with these two irritant!
She felt as if facing the greatest crisis she had ever faced in her life. The biggest dilemma ever!
Airi felt an amalgamation of very many emotions all at once, a thing that had never happened to her before!
Such that the situation appeared all so new to her which made her more flustered than confused. For no one was there for her when she needed companionship the most. She was all alone fighting for something she desired for the most in life with no one to stand by her.
Even though she wasn't an orphan she felt like one.
With no one there to guide her, accompany her, Airi had gradually understood the lack of human presence in her life. And at some point, she had grown taciturn, self- dependent and uncommunicative with the passage of time.
Furthermore, Airi had thought she never did really need anyone, that she herself was more than enough.
As she grew up, eventually she shunned the mere idea of making acquaintance with other individuals who crossed paths with her.
Thus, she spent her entire 16 years of her life as an introvert rather a 'hikikomori ' as often termed by people who met her!
And now after getting to know... rather having stumbled upon these two troublemakers, Airi felt a ray of warmth subsiding in her heart. She couldn't help but feel lighthearted yet utterly helpless at the same time!
Somehow Airi could anticipate coming across such situations occasionally if she keeps up with these troublesome people!
Should she just go and beat up those two freaks or just leave them be and look for an escape?
Ah what a plight!
o(×﹏×)o
Airi definitely wasn't going to spend a single second at this messed up place nor does she want to listen to their illogical nonsenses any further!
For an instance, she had remembered she was in a precarious situation, a more important issue to deal with such as catching up that assailant and gather up the possibilities as to why that freak would attack her for no rhyme or reason?!
Ah how could she forget something like that?
Just as Airi was thinking of making a sneaky escape alongside supervising her inner turmoil when those dimwits had to turn their attention onto her!
"..."
I am sure I did some bad deeds in my past life to have to pay up now!
(ᗒᗣᗕ)՞
"Ah mistress?... "
" Keep away you filthy twerp! " Jun Jie snapped at the little guy.
"..."
Do I have a say in any of this?
Well it seems...not!
( ‾́ ◡ ‾́ )
Jun Jie turned towards Airi and approached her. There was a sudden change in his demeanor, his eyes turned gentle when looking at her.
Eh?
A very confused Airi stared at the latter, waiting to hear what he has to say. She could only expect hearing some nonsense from him anyway?
" We have wasted enough time. Let's get out of this god forsaken place and get that mugger, shall we? " Jun Jie spoke with a tinge of seriousness.
"..."
Well?...
Airi chocked onto her own saliva and swallowed whatever she wanted to say. Well what else could she even say?
She stared up at the sky, thinking to herself why the sky was so blue? It definitely could have been of any colour but why blue?!
