Chapter 61 - Chapter 4.25 - Zenith - Separate Ways

So I ended up walking around The Indie Area with Crescendo. Despite knowing that he was supposed to be waiting and working at the emergency tent, he decided to accompany me in case the hot weather gets the better of me. I gotta say, the weather was indeed hot and as I had probably mentioned earlier, I was sweating too much because of the heat. One could wonder how drenched I am from all of this. But thankfully, Crescendo was nice enough to get me a nice cold juice.

"Damn, this weather hot as heck." Crescendo commented on the crazy heat.

I nodded, "Indeed it is. I'm not sure if we can find White like this. White is not the outgoing type as far as what his little fairy had told me."

"Little fairy? What do you mean?"

I told him, "White has a little familiar which is a fairy. Her name is Recordia and as her name implies, she keeps a record about a lot of things including everything about White."

"So how much have you know about him?"

I answered, "Not much. I've only listened to Recordia for like two times only. And most of that time was telling in secret without White noticing us. So I couldn't get to know him deeply that much."

"Deeply? Crescendo wondered, "Why do you want to know about him deeply?"

I had a moment to think but then the sun continues to give off these tremendous heat that was getting pretty painful for me. But then suddenly, Crescendo whips out an umbrella and covered us under the shades. That really took me by surprise.

Then I got a bit annoyed and said to him, "You know you should have brought it out earlier."

Crescendo replied, "I didn't expect it would get this hot. It almost feels like we're in the desert or something."

"Desert, huh..." Around the same time as well, I notice a small amount of sands was floating around.

I looked where it came from and noticed that it seemed like the sands came from the toilet area. I'm not really sure why there was sand over there but as I got curious about that, something else distracted me.

"Hey Zenith!" A voice that I was quite familiar with appeared.

I looked where it came from a found out that it was Yumiko. She was apparently just done finishing her mini concert from the looks of it.

"Hey, Yumiko. How's the mini concert?" I greeted her.

"It was great. Everyone was mesmerized by my voice." Yumiko was delighted despite looking a bit exhausted.

"Here drink this." I handed her my juice.

"I really need this after. Thanks a lot, Zenith." She took a sip from the juice and then said, "Hey, who's this handsome fella?"

Crescendo then introduced himself, "You can call me Crescendo. I'm from the Magic Entertainment Class. And today I'm just a volunteer for the emergency team."

"I see. Why are you with her then?"

He then said, "She recently fainted today. So now, I'm just accompanying her for the day until we see her friends."

"Don't worry too much, Yumiko. It was just overwork." I explained the situation to her.

Yumiko then devilishly smiles and said, "I see..." She said that as she was looking at Crescendo. "Did you got into a fight with White?"

"What are you talking about, Yumiko?"

"Oh I see it now. It's alright. It's fine by me since White could be suffering right now because of this. Sometimes it's good to get off some steam and leave behind the boring things. I knew White would be boring to you..."

I cut her off, "Like I said, what are you trying to say, Yumiko? I didn't get into a fight with White."

"Are you sure about that? He could be upset about something."

Upset huh? If I had to think of a reason he should be upset, perhaps it could be the fact that I was making myself too busy last night. It probably got him worried whether I could do my documentation duty today. It could also make him upset after seeing me fainting. I think Yumiko was right. But I can't really tell for sure if that was what exactly White thinks. That guy can be mysterious sometimes and his mysterious demeanor can actually be intriguing for me. I wish I could have the time to ask him a few question. But right now, he was on his separate ways.

"Maybe..." I told her what I think was true.

"Well in any case, I'm just on my break. I still need to continue singing after this." Yumiko was about to sign off.

"How are you able to keep signing anyway?" Crescendo wondered.

"That's simple. It's actually a part of my unique ability."

"Your unique ability? Isn't yours suppose to be those magic bullets?" I said.

Yumiko explained, "That's just a tool for my EMA, Zenith. I've been keeping my ability very well and it's related to singing. And that's all I can say. See you around and have fun you two." Yumiko waves off as she giggles to herself.

I scratched my head and said, "Sometimes I don't get her."

Crescendo then suggested, "Maybe she thought that we're dating or something. That's the usual misunderstanding."

"Dating?" I think for a second and responded, "With your looks, I think you can have more than one date in a day to be honest. With me? I don't think I'm up for that kind of stuff."

Crescendo then made his move, "Hey, who knows? Maybe you'd end up liking me."

I simply laughed and said, "Maybe."

That maybe was a very unsure maybe. I don't really know if I'm being honest to myself. I mean Crescendo's a nice guy and he certainly fits the bill to be having dates from most girls in this academy. But I can't really tell much if I'm just trying to avoid him or am I actually interested in him...
