I finally arrived at a bar where her phone signal is, i parked my bike and enter the place.
Friday nights are indeed crowdy, it's end of the weekday, time to pleasure selves, and welcome the weekends, that's what it is about, however, as for me and many others who have lost the concept of time before, everyday, is the same, only experiences varied.
I found her alone sitting on a round chair, it looks like she's covering her face except the upper part where her eyes can be seen, but even so, her figure and beauty cannot be hidden.
There are 3 men beside her trying to talk to her but i don't gave them time, i need to go home and so does she.
"Hello fine gentlemens, nice meeting you, hello there lady." I smiled nonchalantly.
But then as if she guessed i'm coming, she removed her hand and reveal a smug.
Scheiße(1)
"Your here, he's my boyfriend."
She stand up and hugged my left shoulder.
If i didn't know her family identity sooner, i may be still able to treat her like a silly sister before, but after i've saw Neru's report about Roxia 2nd and 3rd generations started to fool around all over the world with swindling.
A rich and powerful family with swindlers.
He told me that not everyone are swindlers, but Risa is the example of 2nd gen swindler and her daughter as 3rd gen, there are 4 records of Risa swindle marriage other rich families in europe, and Rariso is either the 5th or 6th since 4 is only confirmed, who knows how many people got swindled by her.
I became conscious of her as a different person, i need a confirmation about their intention about us
If she's a family, or not.
"Ha, i already called you, why are you still here, where are your friends?" I acted with a smile
"Well, they already left, i just visited here, but these creeps suddenly approached me." She acted as if she's scared, she hugged me and soaked her face on my chest.
But the 3 guys didn't like what she said.
"Oi, i didn't even do anything to you and you dared to talk shit about me in front of your boyfriend? Do you think he's tough?"
"Hehe, she's just being a bitch, looks like someone needs to learn a lesson."
"Hey, come here boy, i'll teach you how to be fool in front of your bitch."
The 3 respond in different dialogues, what a cliche.
The guy on left tried to slap Shira's butt, by i intercept it with my palm.
"Haha, mister, why are you giving me a high five?"
"Keep laughing bastard." The guy wearing blue shirt has cold and pissed face.
The guy on the right throw a punch on me with his left but i move forward to his fist and dodge it in the left like an evasion, his fist slipped and punched the guy on my left who's trying to grab Shira's body who's clinging to me.
As the punch landed, i grabbed his neck and push him down, of course i just used the weight of his body and my strength to lose his balance and tense his knee, i kicked his popliteal fossa(2) with my right leg using low kick.
He dropped to the ground, the man behind the other guy who have been punched is frozen, he can't hit me a fast move since there is a chair and the guy in front of him, it would take few seconds before he attack me, but based on what he saw, he won't mess with me.
But then, he regained his arrogance.
"GUARD! SOMEONE CAUSE A FIGHT!"
Before, there are only few who noticed but now, everyone did.
"You bastard, you and your bitch will pay for this!" He said with a confidence.
The guy on the right slowly stand up with fury in his eyes while the guy who got punched switch his anger to the guy who i tackled instead of me.
"If you apologize to me now and kneel on the ground while giving me your bitch, i will consider sparing you, the guards in this bar knows i'm a regular customer here, you don't know your place." His facial expressions are tensed as he cannot contain his happiness.
This is the only rhing he can do since he can't beat me up, but it's a cliche line, i thought he would be a rich guy or young master or something.
The two guards in suit with sturdy bodies arrived at the scene.
"This two! Guards! They caused violence here and hurt these guys! Teach that kid a lesson, and bring me the bitch!"
I looked at Shira who has a cold and stern face, she's not looking into me but she's pissed, she thought her plan failed and escalated to a situation she never expected.
"You won't survive kid, fuck you!" The guy continue to speak while the two others remained silent as they are holding their nose and legs.
"We will take care of it, sorry about that." Said by the guard behind me.
"Haha, teach that kid a lesson! Until he beg into his knees haha, wo- wo- wait- why are you dragging us?!"
The guards drag the three man on their clothes harshly as they move out.
"We will take care of these bastards sir."
"Thank you." I respond.
Bribery infiltrates many of systems, including family.
Shira seems shocked and look at me, but i only looked at her with calm face, there's no smile or tease, i just looked at her eyes.
"Nee-san.... We will go home."
She must thought that i am angry so she just stayed silent and stopped cuddling me, she return her cold yet tease attitude afterwards and held my hand as we walk out of the bar.
I paddled the bike and she hugged my waist tightly as she pressed her chest behind my back.
1 hour later...
"I'm sorry brother, please forgive me."
She put her right cheek on my back.
"This sister will surely pay you, what do you want?" She now acted like a caring sister, but the teasing attitude is still there.
"Nothing, i'm relieve that it didn't escalated into bigger problem... Nee-san that isn't such a good joke."
"I'm not joking though, i just know that when you arrived, something will definitely happen, i can't believe that you bribed the guards in advance even though they let minors in, my brother must be really cautious about her sister, i appreciate that." She said in a nonchalant voice and smelled my back then kiss it.
"My brother smells good, your wide back is comfortable."
When did she become a playful narcissist...?
I am not curious, i am wary.
4 families are victimized by her and her mother, they are rich but they must have different attitudes, if she's always like this... I don't know what would happen to Rariso if he didn't meet me or if i didn't transmigrate here.
Such a blissful innocence who refuses to become one with dark, he who cares for what beauty relationship can give, is exposed in this illusion of his happiness.
If these two decided to abandon him, i don't know if he will still remain to look at his happiness, or treat it as false illusion.
Not everyone are martyr unlike me, not everyone are willing to give their faith just to be betrayed again.
Ethics, morals, religion, arts, all are beautiful and special because it has faith, a faith that only exist in humanity, science is the truth and evolution but it never requires faith, but instead, it's discoveries produce faith.
I still have a faith, a faith that everyone has their own salvation and happiness. Shira Voigar, what is your faith?
"Hey nee-san."
"What is it my dear brother?"
"Do you know how would you acquire a concept of persona?"
"Is that the famous game?" She asked with tone of interest.
"Silly, it's not."
"Persona...." She pondered.
"It's about the specialty of humans to defy the natural disposition and create their own, and persona is the example, a constant creation of identities."
She stayed silent for a while, actually, no.... She just stayed silent, and so i continued.
"It's also part of ethics and complicated, but i won't explain all, i just want to tell you what i have learned in library, i just feel like i need to tell it to you since it's interesting, after all, we need a bonding as brother and sister right?"
A lie with straight face of mine spoke.
"Oh... It's interesting..." Her voice slowly returned to her cold self with a hint of curiousness and anxiety
"It is said that it needs 4 steps to be met to have persona, first is, awareness of who you are, recognizing you are different from others, able to reflect and critical to yourself if you made a mistake."
I paused for 3 seconds, a long time for a silent dark street that needs 4 minutes before returning home.
"Shira Voigar, who are you." I spoke in a cold voice.
She just stayed silent, i don't know what's in her face but, her body is slowly getting away from my back, trying not to make me notice it, but i press the break to slow down to make her body return, i can feel her deep breaths with her chest.
"Hey, that hurt."
"Did you hear me nee-san."
"Of course, i am Shira Voigar, mother owns a cosmetic company, and Rariso is a good person and have a restaurant, i also study at-"
"Sister, you missed the point, i'm sorry if i used wrong words, but let me ask again, do you know yourself."
"....Of course, i know myself."
"Thank you for confirmation, second is ownership, our persona takes control of our bodies, not us, but our persona. Sister Shira, who's truly my sister Shira, a tease? A cold person? A arrogant, which one is my sister."
I asked her who she is, and now, i asked about her role being a sister.
She just stayed silent for 2 seconds before answering.
"Why are you asking this." Her voice is cold, it felt threatening, yet it sounds like a annoyance for me.
"Didn't i told you, i want to know you, we are family, i need to know about us...
...Next is uniformity or also known as consistency, when words or behavior lacks of coherence or in other words, logical reasons... It is said that we don't have any persona, or in other words, crazy. Person who speak without further elaboration and leaves, can be called as hypocrite, in internet, they are also called trolls.
Sister, am i really a brother to you."
"Shut up now will you... You sound lame."
"I'm sorry sister, i just want you to hear about this, i genuinely respect and recognize you as my sister even we are not related."
"Stop, Its corny."
"Yeah, philosophy and ethics is indeed lame in every conversation, but enters when one ponders and rethink life choices, i am pondering right now, and you are the listener of my thoughts."
"...."
"The last one is responsibility, persona are possessed by those who's responsible, those who are not responsible do not possess persona, my sister.... Do you have the responsibility of possessing the persona of being a sister."
"Stop, or i'll shut your mouth, you sound lame, change that attitude of yours, it's annoying." It's a cold hoarse voice, intended to hurt someone's feelings.
I am used to it, but this body cannot stand it, a insult that threatens the mentality of this body is shaking, the vocal cords are twitching and the eyes are feeling heavy, this isn't my emotion, it's the subconscious emotion of the owner.
He didn't liberated, i am replaced on his stead instead.
[Mechanica.... After i collected more karma, you better tell me what happened to this kid.]
[Understood.]
I continue to speak.
"That hurts my feelings sister, i just want to talk about you, i still have so many things to say about the concept of persona but... we are already home, it's time to eat."
She left the bike with a heavy steps that signify her anger, she open the door harshly.
When i enter the house, i saw Rariso cooking while looking at me.
"What happened to your sister? Why does she seems pissed?"
"Ha, beats me, i don't know, she's pinching my waist ever since she rode the bike, look." My calm face still remains
I showed him the pinch marks in my belly, as she kept implying to shut my mouth.
"She said she won't eat."
"Don't worry, she's just in rebellious phase."
"18 year old in rebellious phase?" He seems weirded out but he is actually pondering.
"Whatever, let's eat, i will give her food later." I changed the topic to stop him from worrying.
"Yeah, Risa said she will be late, so i cooked many macaronis."
"Where did you get that, and you are cooking huge amount..."
"Oh, a freebie in nearby market, and i won... Tsk, bunch of scammers, they gave me a macaroni that will expire in next 4 days."
"Then, shall i help you out with something...?" My voice is still a tone of not asking but shows care even so.
"No, i already hired some people in nearby orphanages to deliver these, i also called our employees to eat some of it with their family when they get home."
"How generous... So, what's the dishes?"
"Goulash which is a spiced with tomato recipe, Sopas which a chicken milk recipe and Mac＆Cheese."
"You are cooking Sopas now."
"Yeah."
"Where are the others."
"I already delivered them."
"What the- you didn't even left one?!" I asked with tone
What the... Those dishes are amazing since the weather is cold for half a week already and he didn't left one?
"What do you mean didn't left one, of course there is." His face looks like 'What do you mean?'
"Oh sorry, i just suddenly crave for it."
"Ha, i see, then wash your hands, we are going to eat."
"Hai."
As i looked at his face he definitely enjoying his moment.
Someone like him... For his kindness to be misplaced, will definitely hurt, unlike me... He is more vulnerable.
Not because you misplaced kindness once doesn't mean you bury it for good to avoid the pain, this is what i believe, but for someone like him, this won't work as it might be his first betrayal.
That's why, as the one who save the body of this boy and as the one who wished to have a comfortable life and help people in more efficient way, i must have this gratitude, thank you for letting us meet, thanks to you owner of this body.
