Whoosh...
'So.....
'What?
'tell me how you do it
Shirley suddenly asked Akira after walking for a long time while supporting Akira who was still unable to walk on his own due to his injuries.
'.....'
her question broke the silence between the two of them who had just chosen to remain silent without opening any topic of conversation due to their still awkward situation.
'.....'
'what's with your weird look?
after a few minutes of staring into the distance, Akira slowly turned his head and answered Shirley's sudden question in an unexpected way
'I-Dont-Want-To-Tell-You-tho
'Y-you! Ughhh!!! 'Sigh.....you...why are you so childish? just tell me seriously! I'm very curious..it won't hurt you at all right?
Akira said that while making an expression that seemed to be mocking which drastically made Shirley very angry but was only able to hold back her anger due to not wanting to cause any more trouble especially involving Akira himself
'what you said was indeed true..but for some good reason I just don't want to especially that,because it's obvious..your presence now threatens me you see...
'....'
hearing that statement, Shirley just remained speechless while at the same time working on her brain thinking something
"This guy... has trust issues isn't he?
"I never talked to him at school or even said hello...but honestly, this guy...I really envy him
"How can I not envy him, he always gets the position of the second brightest student in school...even though I've been above him all this time...but I still feel jealous of him...I always wonder about this feeling...how can this strange feeling appear suddenly? honestly this really hurts! this feeling of jealousy..always takes over me.
"I'm really competitive everywhere, especially school academic achievements..I always try hard to resist the fatigue of studying..but him! How could he be so relaxed at school but still be able to get second place in class as the smartest student? damn! this feeling..
"I've done a lot to stay perfect even to the point that I created a fake identity that was the opposite of my true nature..I always exposed it to everyone to deceive everyone's opinion of me..I just want to stay perfect!
"the masks that I have shown to everyone as my true identity even though they are not actually real... are for the purpose of so that I can utilize whatever pieces are in my path towards success.
"and now..it's only because of that perverted man that I failed to investigate the secret of this guy intelligence even though his nature was a little childish..but at least I want to take advantage of that..
"at first I wanted to kill him because of that..but I think it's not that bad because I will know everything about him in the end..
Shirley said all that while keeping her usual blank expression to deceive Akira about her true intentions
'hmmmm...So tell me...are you at this moment..are the real you?
While Shirley was daydreaming, out of blue Akira began to question her which made her flinch for a moment
'H-huh? Why so sudden? especially with that weird question?
'Well...to be more precisely..I will repeat the question..is this the real you?
'I won't answer that..just stop..it's futile
'Huff...I was just having fun, but apparently you don't want to answer it..sigh
'obviously because it was a pointless question..It all started when you were reluctant to answer my question earlier...you understand that, right?
'I never thought you could be such a vengeful person..I really meant it..
'dont ever forget..An eye for an eye,a tooth for a tooth..even blood for a blood..
'Whatever..I seem to be too tired to talk to you...plus the journey was still far away
'well...what can we do...this is a problem we have to face together
'ughhhhh...This conversation...was meaningless at all even from the start..I just want to sleep immediately..I kinda too tired...
'So... do you want to take a break for a bit?
'I want to...but it's a shame that we now have no other choice...but to continue our journey to avoid sudden dangers like those just now.
Rustle... Rustle....
If so...what can we do...we'll just continue on this hellish journey
"while achieving my main goal at this very moment kekekekekeke
Shirley said that in her mind with cunning mixed dirty intentions
