"Yo what's up Densetsu?"
"What do you think?"
"Considering last night, not good. But you came to gym, the most hated place of yours."
He smirks.
"Well?"
"What?"
"How are you?!"
"Fine, I guess. What about you?"
"I'm as healthy as I can be."
"Yeah, you don't have to dodge a question like that. You can just say you are not fine."
"You are oddly phylosophic today?"
"Am I? Maybe because I'm beating you in body building!"
"You think so?!"
"Yeah!"
"Alright you two! Today is the day!"
"What day?"
"It's already been a year."
"From what?!"
"Your challenge, idiots!"
"Ow! So who won?"
"We'll figure it out today. Get on the weight machines first."
"Ok."
"What the...!!!"
"Holly cow...!!"
Densetsu and I both become surprised at our weight. He started with 112 kg and now he is at 134 kg. And I started at 98 kg and ended up having 133 kg. But how!! We surely don't look that fat! These machines are broken!
"Wow, you guys improved!"
"Don't tease us! This machine is broken!"
"I mean it you dumbass!"
"Weren't we supposed to loose fat and weight. How did we gain more!?"
"You guys lost fat and gained muscles. Specially butt muscles."
"Stop being creepy you perve!! Why do we weight this much?"
"Fat weights less than muscles. And it's not about loosing weight. You guys are fit now. Fit would be an understatement. I mean look at those butts! Congratulations!"
"So it's a good thing?"
"Of course! I can spank some nice meat now!"
"I told you to stop you spanky pervert!!"
"Now who wants to get spanked?!"
"Stay right there. Don't come near us!!"
"I'm just kidding! It looks like it was a tie! Kaigara is 6 feet and Densetsu is 5'10". Keeping that in mind you guys made the same amount of improvement."
"That's nice. I wish we could celebrate. But...", Densetsu says.
"Don't be sad. We can throw even a bigger party when you guys get more beefed up!"
"I guess you are right Aiko."
"Now, don't be sad about Tachibana! She'll be back to herself in no time!"
"Yeah", I say
I wish you guys knew the truth about her true self.
"Umm.. good morning Tachibana!"
"Good morning Dense."
"You slept well?"
"Yes. I think I did."
"Gloomy much?", I say.
"You wouldn't understand. Your parents didn't die."
"Tachibana..."
"It's ok, bro." I stop Dense. I keep speaking while preparing my milk, "An email came yesterday from the hospital."
"I didn't receive any email, master."
"I Know. I entered my personal email address there."
"Well? What did it say?"
"They are not coming home. Apparently, the area was air striked. No survibors were left. 57 bodies found. They found a tooth and a nail which matched my mom and dads DNA profile."
Tachibana suddenly seems guilty. Kaigara looks stoned.
"Master, how are you...?"
"So calm? I expected this to happen anyway. I'm just relieved atleast parts of them were found."
Tachibana walks towards me, Slaps me on the face.
"You big jerk! Don't you atleast have any respect towards them! They weren't probably your parents! But that doesn't mean you could get away with thinking they mean nothing to you!! You should be sad that your parents died you monster!!"
Tachibana starts leaving crying.
"I could say the same thing to you back then.", I say while smiling.
She stops for a moment and then leaves the room without saying anything.
"What did she mean Kaigara?"
Densetsu looks sad, angry, confused at the same time. He walks up to me. Grabs me by the coller.
"Tell me!!"
I stay silent. He punches me in the face.
"Tell me damn it!! Why are you so calm?! Why aren't you crying!? TELL ME!!!"
"Am I obligated to?"
Kaigara looses his mind and keeps punching me while Aiko just keeps standing there. She is probably stunned. This reminds me of that plot hole in the anime about two friends and their love. What a big plot-hole!
