Replaceable?

"Izumi-kun. That boy is faking his real intentions." Grayfia's voice rang inside his head.

Oh! I knew she would notice it. Even Tio and Shia could tell it just from a single glance. I mean his face is particularly screaming "I'm evil"... "I'm evil".

He thought inwardly.

(A/N: Don't worry I am a firm believer of these words, 'Never judge a book by its cover'.)

"Don't worry I know that.. I think we need to stay here for another day. Things are going to be interesting." Izumi replied mentally and had a huge grin on his face.

He also noticed Kaori's expression from the corner of his eyes.

Here it comes!

.

.

.

"HAJIME-KUN!" Kaori Shirasaki yelled at Hajime who all of a sudden felt embarrassed.

Yue, who was at his side raised her eyebrows, as it was first time she saw him acting like this outside their bedroom.

'Who is this girl?'

The moment Hajime turned around, their eyes met, and a lightning ran through Kaori's body. Her heart had been cold accompanied by sorrow, no, probably it was freezing since the day her important person disappeared, but a sudden fire lighted it and heated it up Thu-thump, Thu-thump. Her heart began to throb intensely.

"Your relationship is good as usual, you two."

The hair color was different, the aura, the tone, the appearance may be different but she knew it's him. Her love for him won!

Even Shizuku woke up from her entranced state and was beyond shocked when she saw Hajime.

All other classmates were not any better but some were feeling scared as they were the remaining one who bullied him everyday.

"Who is he? Is he really Nagumo?!" They questioned.

"Well, it's true. It's Nagumo Hajime who fell from the bridge that day.." Endou said in knowing tone.

"L-Lies. Nagumo is dead. Wasn't that the case? Everyone also saw it. There's no way he is alive! We have already agreed on that!"

"Uwah, what's with you! I have seen his status plate so there's no mistake it is him."

"Lies! There's must be some trick! He must be in disguise and trying to trick us!"

The one who was saying unreasonable things was Hiyama. He was denying Hajime's survival with an abnormal pale complexion. His classmates around him were taken back by Hiyama's appearance.

Hiyama knew he'd definitely die if it was really Nagumo, so he had to make his classmates believe that it was all lies.

"Well, good try buddy. But you see your acting.. yes, too fake. I should be able to teach you later.....if you survive that is." Izumi said as he was eating popcorn.

Yes, he finally made it..

"Izumi-sama, it's not fun!" Grayfia said as temperature around them went cold.

'Fuck! Did I said that aloud?' He cursed himself for his lack of control over his mouth.

I need to calm her down or else.

"Now...Now. Fia-chan, What I wanted yo say that his acting is bad.. 'His' here refers to Hajime. As for the survival part, you'll see." Izumi immediately threw Hajime under the bus.

Endure it my brother.. You're my brother from another mother, right?..right.

"Hajime-kun!" Kaori cried in joy.

"Eh?!?" Everyone were sweating buckets noticing how quickly everything changed.

Hajime was fuming in 'anger', but it all vanished when he saw how a familiar girl dashing at his location and began to tremble when he felt another familiar aura from his left.

He could already see his death.. ..There!

'Am I a sacrificial lamb?'

After that things went shit...I mean pretty shit.

______

Well, after a hour of love quarreled. Kaori was left devastated knowing the kind Hajime she knew had changed..Also he rejected her love confession saying he already have a lover.

She was unable to hold her tears anymore but still didn't gave up.

"Why did you let her go?! You could have captured her!" This sudden question caused everyone to looked at the idiot.

"Huh? Why would I?" Izumi questioned back.

"Eh! I mean she is a Demon. She killed our classmates an-" Izumi interrupted the worthless hero.

"Oi, Oi..Our? I don't know any of you. Also isn't usually your fault they died. You can go on to impress another girl. I also noticed how you didn't even landed a serious blow to her. Must be because she was a girl?.. Don't lecture me what I'll do and what not. Be grateful that we arrived in time you fucking worthless!"

Izumi snapped seeing this bastard Cookie still blamed it on him. He thought if he let her go may he would be able to get rid of him..

Wow! How wrong he was!

"He's right! Cookie. He was the one who save him. You can't blame other for your mistake!" Shizuku supported Izumi as she never liked Cookie anyway.

Always smiling like an Idiot and preaching what's wrong or right to other.

(A/N: Tinkered the plot.. )

"I'm going outta here. There's someone alive. Fia-chan, please take them outside." Izumi dashed towards another direction with an irritated expression.

Grayfia sighed as she knew he would be back like nothing happened.

"Please step inside the circle." She gestured in a cold tone. Everyone immediately entered the teleportation circle as it glowed, leaving no signs of life after the light died down.

______

"I knew it. He survived...barely. Well, now atleast I've a reason to go back late.." Izumi mused to himself as he was carrying a man like a sack of potatoes.

"Hmmm~ whmmm~..." He hummed as he happily flew around.

(A/N: No he don't have flight magic. He is using his wind element.)

______

"I never thought it'd be so easy to get out.." Suzu blurted out knowingly as the silence was bothering her.

She was an outgoing and highly talkative girl, so silence is nightmare for her.

"Are you sure he's going to be okay?" This time Shizuku asked to Grayfia who nodded.

She was really worried...Why? She herself had no idea.

There were already outside waiting for Izumi.

It's because Izumi is the only one who could deal with those people waiting for them outside.

So Grayfia teleported everyone to the zero floor.

Hajime could see Cookie was in dangerous state and he was the only one who would be able to restrain him if he explode.

'So that's why he escaped..Sigh, why I'm always late?' He thought to himself, blaming his luck.

But something unexpected happened.

Cookie step forward and cleared his throat.

*Ahemmm*

"Hello, I'm Amanogawa Cookie(Lol). If it's not a problem, I'd like to know your name, beautiful lady." He introduced himself with his stupid charming smile on his face to Grayfia, where as, no expression could be seen on her face.

She just stare at him coldly.

Hajime and Yue knows how overprotective Izumi is.

This idiot.

"...I'm sorry." Grayfia just apologized making Cookie dumfounded.

Did his charm just failed?

His classmates were laughing at him, mainly boys. Girls just snorted at him.

Grayfia felt something when this boy asked her name but it was not strong enough to shake her. In case nothing would be able to shake her.

Any normal girl would have been charmed by his disgusting smile but her.

She wholeheartedly loved Izumi and her heart belongs to him and him only.

However, Cookie who for the first time found out that his charm didn't work felt angry. In case he was already angry and it added fuel to the fire.

He pointed his finger at Grayfia and cried out madly.

"Who you think you are, huh!? You're just a replaceable maid! You should be grateful that a Hero like me is interested in you!!" Cookie lost all reason in anger and said something he should never have in his whole life.

Silence!

Pin Drop Silence!

This fool really have an extra pair of balls.

Hajime praised Cookie's guts inwardly.

He and Yue immediately took few steps back and gestured others to do as well.

Here it comes!

.

.

All of a sudden, an intense bloodlust attacked Cookie making his legs wobbly, funny though he didn't fall.

He was petrified.

"People say ignorance is bliss, but I find yours rather disturbing." A calm but powerful voice thundered the whole area.
