After gaining back about 60% of his strength back and beating the ever living shit out of a strong dead man.
Aaron felt confident enough to revert back to his original personality, he would have reverted back sooner but he was to busy caring for Rui to care along with the fact he could avoid being injured because of his shenanigans.
But now he was healed and it was because of that,that he was now dodging an enraged Sakura.
Did he deserve to get hit for pissing her off..probably but that wasn't where the fun was.
Darting with agility, Aaron skillfully evaded Sakura's attempts to land a hit. Her frustration fueled her pursuit, her movements reflecting a mix of determination and exasperation.
He danced just out of reach, a sly grin playing on his face. "Come on, Sakura, you're getting slow. Maybe running a bathhouse has softened you up."
Sakura's eyes blazed with annoyance. "Keep talking, Aaron, and I won't miss."
Aaron chuckled, thoroughly enjoying the chase. "But where's the fun if you actually catch me? Besides, I thought you liked a good challenge."
"Sakura seem lively today"Daiji said looking at the scene to which Ikki decided to had some context.
"Oh, Aaron-san pushed her buttons and now she is mad...they have been at it for a while now"
"Come on Sakura-chan I did nothing wrong, I spoke the truth"Aaron said dodging another one of her hits.
"Speaking the truth doesn't mean you have to be annoying about it," Sakura retorted, her determination unyielding as she continued her pursuit.
Aaron, still evading her strikes, couldn't help but flash a cheeky grin. "Annoying? Me? Never."
As Sakura intensified her pursuit, determined to finally land a hit on the teasing Aaron, the bathhouse echoed with their playful banter.
"Face it, Sakura-chan, you can't catch me," Aaron taunted, ducking and weaving with an agile grace that frustrated Sakura even more.
Sakura shot back, "You're asking for it, Aaron. Don't think I won't get you eventually."
"I am more nimble, though. You won't catch me, slowpoke," Aaron continued his teasing, effortlessly dodging Sakura once again. His taunts, paired with his agile evasion, added a playful dynamic to the ongoing chase.
Sakura, undeterred, shot him a determined glare. "Keep running, Aaron. Your luck won't last forever."
"Weren't you unbeatable, and yet you're still losing to me?" Aaron teased with a grin, relishing in Sakura's momentarily dropped expression.
"How do you know that?" she questioned, a mix of surprise and confusion evident in her eyes.
"You proclaimed it quite proudly in front of me," Aaron replied with a sly smile.
"Oh yeah, I forgot. You said it to my alter ego. You should know me by the name of Raion," Aaron revealed with a smile on his face.
A hushed silence fell upon the room as confusion painted the faces of everyone present. The revelation of Aaron's connection to the mysterious hero, Raion, hung in the air, leaving Sakura and the others grappling with the unexpected turn of events.
The room fell into an unexpected stillness as Aaron casually dropped the revelation that he was, in fact, Raion. The shock registered on every face, expressions frozen in a mixture of disbelief and realization.
Sakura's eyes widened, a mix of surprise and dawning understanding. The others in the room mirrored her astonishment, their features frozen in a tableau of shock. The bathhouse, once filled with the echoes of playful banter, now hung in a silence punctuated only by the weight of the unexpected revelation.
Meanwhile, Aaron remained nonchalant, a subtle smirk playing on his lips as if he had just shared an inconsequential detail. His demeanor added an extra layer of mystery to the unfolding scene, leaving everyone to grapple with the newfound knowledge of Raion's unexpected identity.
As the shock began to subside, a collective realization swept through the room. The pieces of the puzzle slowly clicked into place, revealing the connection between Aaron and Raion. Eyes darted between the two identities as the shared energy, a unique aura that seemed to linger around both, became increasingly evident.
Sakura's brows furrowed as she connected the dots, her gaze shifting between the nonchalant Aaron and the hero Raion. Others in the room exchanged glances, silent acknowledgment passing between them. The similarities in energy and, more strikingly, in personality became undeniable.
"It makes sense," someone finally murmured, breaking the lingering silence.
The room buzzed with a newfound understanding, the revelation of Aaron's dual identity settling in. The shared secret, once concealed in the shadows, now stood exposed, leaving the bathhouse occupants to navigate the implications of their friend being the enigmatic hero, Raion.
"I really thought yall would have figured it out sooner but guess I had to say it"Aaron said with a smile on his face
Aaron, still leaning against the wall with a nonchalant demeanor, couldn't help but offer a witty reply to the room's collective realization.
"Well, I guess the cat—or should I say, the lion—is out of the bag," he quipped, a playful glint in his eyes. The wordplay, coupled with his confident smirk, added a touch of humor to the revelation, diffusing some of the tension in the room.
Sakura, recovering from her initial surprise, crossed her arms and shot Aaron a mockingly stern look. "You couldn't resist the opportunity for a dramatic reveal, could you?"
Others in the room chuckled, a mixture of amusement and acceptance settling in. One of them added, "So, we've been sharing a bathhouse with Raion all this time?"
Aaron nodded with a grin. "And the best part? No extra charge for the heroics."
