-I can...
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
-I can accompany you to your home.- I say.
-But our houses are on the opposite side of yours. Then you have to go alone.- They answered.
-It doesn't matter, anyway I have to work today.- I answer.
(Author's Note: Midari has 4 jobs due to the debt that the biological parents left behind and because they regularly have to pay for medical treatments due to the fact that Mako and Yuka have a low immune system and tend to get sick quickly, due to they don't have the right to free medical care.1 job: Maid, 2 job: snake charmer, 3 job: retrieve or discover information, chase and even if the client wants to kill for those who pay him best (currently for the Mafia and ace times to the police), 4 work: at a supermarket checkout.)
-Ok.- Agreed.
-------------------------- 4 hours later / 23h at night ----------------- ---------------------------
I was returning home after having just finished the shift in my 2 jobs (I'm off on the other 2) when I feel like I'm being watched by someone. I look back and in the corner of the street there was an elf-shaped shadow looking at me ... I stop for about 4 minutes and look at the shadow when ...
* Trim Trim * - (ringtone)
When the damn phone rings. I take the phone and see that Miku is calling me. I turn my back on the shade and keep walking after answering my cell phone:
-Hi! - Greets Miku.
- Hi! - Greetings.
-Let's talk about new students. Aren't they so cute? They're not, are they? - Asks Miku.
-I think they are normal.- I answer.
-Hum ... and the gamer? Didn't you find it even if it's a little cute? - Asks Miku.
-What? Of course not.- I answered.
-Oh yes? Could you tell me the name of the black-haired boy? - Ask Miku.
-Easy ... Yeah ... Yeah ... It's Jorge something.- I answer.
-Wrong. It's Jeffery- Responds to Miku.- And the name of the boy with brown hair?
-Hum ... His name is ... it's ... it's Jyú.- I answer.
- Wrong again. Jyú is one of the assistant teachers. Jack is the boy's name. - Miku responds excitedly. - And the name of the gamer?
-Ah, that I know .... his name is Benjamin.- I answer, happy to have got it right.- I got it right.
-Exact. You see you pay more attention to him, so much so that you memorize his name in his face. I was right.- Miku replies getting even more excited.
-Ok, I admit that I paid more attention to him than to the others. But it's not every day that I see someone who likes old video games and is a fan of Legends of Zelda: Majoras'Mask.- I answer a little embarrassed.
-Ahah, you peek at what he was doing.- He laughs at Miku.
-Um, ok I admit I was curious and I peeked but it was just a little bit.- I say getting more embarrassed.
-Ah, I have to go, my mother calls. Goodbye.- Say goodbye to Miku.
-Goodbye.- I say goodbye.
-Monkey, that Miku, now for sure she will start making assumptions about the subject.- I sigh.
However as I walk and continue to see the damn elf shadow that starts to make me feel uncomfortable staying in the corner of the street chasing me I hear a voice:
-You ... are Midari, aren't you? - Question ???.
-Q-Who are you? - I ask.
-I'm what they usually call Benjamin Peters's father.-He replied.
I am amazed, but I still laugh:
-AHAHAHA, And what does a murderer have to do with me?
- You know, don't you? - He asks.
- I know what?
-Ne, do you know? - he asks.
-I already asked. I know what? That I know a lot.- Scream.
"Do you know that both me and the stupid group of bullies killed Benjamin Peters?" He asks with a smile on his face.
-I know, if you didn't want them to find out, you should better protect that information.- I answer.
-Then what a pity for you ...- He says.
Out of nowhere, police sirens are heard and the man runs away to any place. While I was laughing due to the fact that I was making the sounds through my cell phone. I walk down the street, continuing to feel that I was being watched by the shadow, this is getting too sinister for me. When I feel a hand touch my shoulder ...
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------
Who is the person who touched the shoulder?
Only next ...
