Chapter 40 - New Person

"And then the scene where she took the sword out of the monster's body was so cool!"

"Even the line she said after killing the dark demon was badass!"

We then both simultaneously said…

"Tell Satan in hell, I'm coming for him soon"

…and started laughing

As I was talking with her while going to her home, I found a completely different person from what I saw at school

Before she would always look grumpy and angry and would never show a single smile. But now that same girl looked like she would never stop smiling. She was really cheerful and chipper and looked so happy talking about the things she loved

Her downcast and self-deprivating attitude was completely gone and what replaced it was a girl who was prideful and a bit arrogant and didn't like to lose to anyone

It was like she was an entirely different person

I guess this how her true personality is. She's been hiding it underneath all along but could finally show her true self after meeting someone she could trust. But just why was she so distrustful of others in the first place?

We had already been walking for 15 minutes and were now walking along a big park with large trees and we'll maintained bushes. It was surrounded by grey stone boundaries with big black iron fences on it. It looked completely different from the surrounding neighbourhood. It looked grand and majestic

Maybe it's a public park built by some private organisation. I don't think the government would spend money to build a park as grand as this one. Maybe I'll bring Kaede here later so we can check it out together

Akatsuki-san pointed her finger forward and said

"My house is just a around that corner"

"Oh, Okay"

......

Hmm? I thought she would start to talk about something like before, but for some reason she was weirdly silent. She just held her hands behind her back and continued to walk with a blank face. Is she thing thinking about something serious? 

I'll try to break this awkward silence 

"Hey, did you see yesterday's-"

"Yuuto…"

I was completely interrupted when she called me by my first name all of a sudden. It was also the first time she called me by my name since we met

It's not like I care about it and I'd rather prefer to be called by my first name. But isn't it normally embarrassing for a girl to call a boy by his first name. Well if she's okay with it, I'm okay with it

She was looking forward and looked like she was seriously thinking of something

Maybe she doesn't want me to see her house address and is having a hard time telling it. This where I should act like a gentleman and excuse myself

"Since your house is around the corner, I think I'll be leavin-"

She interrupted me and said with a straight look on her face

"You used the fact that, that boy who insulted your mother had cut marks on his wrists to harass him right?"
