Chapter 19: Entanglements

Later, when i arrived at rooftop, the main event is already finished, there's no one here anymore, except Aine.

"Are you done now?"

"No... I i am waiting for you."

"Oh, i see, you're scared, let's go, i'm sure that guy will apologize without hurting you."

We came back to rooftop, there, he stayed at his position, he's sweating hard under the sun.

He didn't even cover his self in this scorching heat?

"What a dork, do you want to get sunburns."

"It's your fault for calling them so sudden."

"Well... Aren't you just shy?"

"None of your business."

"Hai hai, here, there's another victim left."

He stared at her and bowed down.

"I'm sorry for extorting your money, i can't explain how much i am apologetic, but i am very sorry."

Ho... Ethical side of humans, to save her sister from distress by doing unethical things, i did something wrong to do this ethical things.

Justifying our reasons, put on edge to make such unethical decisions, and if everything was resolve in a different way by other persons, they will be jealous and feel sorry about theirselves and try to redeem theirselves for their faults.

He has no reasons to be jealous, i do not believe in gods nor karma, but maybe, his diligence become a good karma, to meet a person like me, it's hard to find someone like me, a person who already crossed the line long ago, hiding in this peaceful life i expanded and now, dealing with new problems.

I won't complain though, it is my responsibility for the actions i did, 'ethical', 'unethical', when i first got used in doing crimes, i almost forgot to give these words value as a psychologist and as a human, good thing i changed.

I did committed a crimes, stained with scums, but that doesn't give me any difference about them, that's why i tried other ways to help my self or punish people, listen to the criminal and listen to the one i am helping, i won't make my own decision as long as people can make their own, but if they cannot, i can always support them, and do it in my own way, to make them happy.

They are my restraints and them breaking to the point of hopelessness is the lift to those restraints.

Aine seems to be getting embarrassed of someone bowing to her so low.

"P please, raise your head... I, i don't know what happened to you, but i think, you are sincere enough on what i heard before."

".....Thank you, do you still remember how much money i extorted to you."

"I... I forgot, i think it is 438 yen."

"Uh..."

Karui reach out his pockets and got 258 yen.

"Umm."

"....." She stayed silent

"Are you sure..."

"I know it is 430+ yen."

"Some bastards trick me."

"Well well, stop that now Karui, i will pay for her." I'm relieved on what i am seeing and choose to act

"Wait, you don't need to!" She looked at me with embarrassment

"Nah, i need to, it will help you for your date."

"Date?" Karui asked with a tone

"Oh yeah Karui, help me out with their dates too."

"Wh-what? What am i suppose to use this?" She's geniunely asking where to use it.

"It's money, you can buy foods, souvenir bruh, we still have two more days to decide your planned date, would you like to go in park and use that money, restaurant or something?"

"I... I will say it later." She's really embarrassed.

After all, three members of student council faces are actually representing 'What am i witnessing?'

We stopped our conversation and return to our classrooms.

**********************

Afternoon, it's already free time for us Class A, meanwhile, the others still have classes.

Right now, Anria is hugging my right arm while we are walking on the school ground

Many eyes advert to us, it seems she's dragging me to somewhere, we just left the cafeteria.

Eventually, we reached a outdoor basketball court, it has a lot of grass growing on the crack of the stairs, the sky is yellowish yet gray and gloomy but this place is windy, rusty metal barricade wires that is a window to another wide grass field, there, vehicles can't be seen but buildings are far away.

It seems that we are on the edge of the school, i admire such places, especially when it's windy.

I love the cold sensation that kissing my face, and a good abandoned scenery like this makes it more aesthetic for me.

"This place is beautiful, is this where you stay."

"Ha, it's my personal hangout place, some guys would follow me here though but i already reserved this place."

"So this is why you bought a lot of foods."

"Heh."

"Remember that it's only for a week."

"Hai hai, you're so boring that no girls will love you, that's why, i will train you."

"Thank you but i have no interest."

"See? Boring."

She drag a cardboard box that seems new so we can sit.

"I appreciate this place you choose."

Really, i can't resist fresh winds, i love them.

"Oh really? Why don't we eat and know each other, we are the only people here."

We sit down, kind of surprising that she can sit in things like this despite being so rich, or is she? But i don't care for now.

The sensation of cold liquids flowing on a cup in ny hands is different to the cold that is kissing my face.

The hot burger, fries, and ice creams, it's been a while since i experienced this, highschool days hits hard, except that i never got any girlfriend for all my life because i don't want to.

"So Reika-kun, do you like observing?"

"I do."

Oh, different from what i expected, i thought she will ask for my zodiac or favorite foods, but it's a different approach huh, then i should take this conversation seriously even she's just fooling around.

"I see, that's why i picked this place up, you are different, the guys i have dated before rather would talk about what my interest are, or will not even talk once and only glance at my body, oh-, everyone of them actually did.

The rich from the lower classes got chance to date me too, they offer me a date in a expensive restaurant i already tried and tired to go back again, there's this one scholar too, it's kind of interesting he brought me to a carnival but he's just thirsty to have a girlfriend, so he got bullied since he's a weakling too."

"I see."

I chomped the burger and felt it's warmth, i never enjoyed so much things ever since being highscool, the tastebuds of this body definitely helped.

"While you... You've never glance at my body, you are smiling to everyone so warm yet so fake, but now, i think that you are enjoying this, and you are actually handsome with that mask off."

"Is that so, then thank you for your compliment."

I am in a good mood, this is also the first time i will accept such flattery.

She looked at her burger and take a bite too.

"Want to try?"

"Can i?"

"Here."

She wants me to bite at her burger while she's holding it.

"Oh, this move is really unique for couples huh."

"Yes, so take a bite."

Her gal attitude is still there, teasing girl trying to bait me.

"I can't bite to area you've bitten off."

"What? Embarrassed? Is indirect kiss is too much?"

"No, imagining someone saliva on your mouth is disgusting."

"..."

I hold her hand and bite the edge of the burger.

"Gah, you're so weird." She squinted her eyes.

"Thank you."

I took a drink from my soda while she continue to look at me, she then move quick to bite the whole area where i chomped.

"Hah, i guess that indirect kiss means nothing to you."

"Maybe."

We stayed silent again, after we finish the burger, next is the fries and a chicken in a one bucket.

What kind of cafeteria is this, this is just a fast food restaurant.

"Can you tell me about your self Reika?"

"Oh well, i don't think i can say anything about my life, and i really mean it.

But a summary, i live my life with full of happiness, to those who i helped and to my self, that's how i can describe it without backstories."

I took 4 hot fries and put it on the gravy sauce.

She felt it weird but tried it, and her face was surprised, it's tasty.

I stayed silent again, i am looking at her without her noticing, she has so many things to say but she didn't choose to.

"I'm a good listener, so please, speak what do you want, i don't want to ask you anything since it might be rude."

"Oh? So you are really good at observing me huh? Did you glance at my chest."

She held her chest and compress it as if daring me to look at it.

"Should i ask if you want my opinion to your chest?"

"Why not? What do you think of my chest?"

"It's pretty firm and big despite your age, but your body has also the same style, you look good at being gal."

"Hah... Can't you just blush or something?"

I grab another fries.

"Why did you save me from the first day."

"Your flawless make up tooks skills, a makeup that looks heavily covered by foundations but actually just a thin layer, it would be hard if it was ruined."

"You know make up?"

"Yes."

"Hah, unbelievable, you just took a powder out of nowhere and saved me, do you even know that i'm also hiding my real face?"

"With the style of your makeup, it's obvious."

"Oh. You're right."

I already finished one chicken leg and lick my two fingers, the tastebuds of this boy is the best.

"Would you like to see my face?"

"Ha, it looks like that a one week date will be finished if you show your face right now."

"....Well, what do you think of my actions, is it bad? I'm fooling around with boys and trick them, am i a bad person?"

"What's your reason for that anyway."

"I think it's fun."

"Think."

"It's fun."

"But you mentioned the scholar who gave you a carnival experience, you said it's interesting, is it not fun?"

"I'm only asking for the question."

"Would you like a answer that will comfort you or real answer for me."

"Real answer."

"You are bad person, playing with our people hearts, creating a illusion motivations, and destroying their expectations at the end, but even so, those people deserve it, you are fooling those people who have ulterior motives, at least that's my answer is, this is actually just an combination of a answer that will comfort you, and a real answer you wouldn't like to hear."

"Why?"

"Because you don't need to hear my real answer."

"Gah..."

"But, it seems like you've never experienced dating a guy that genuinely admired you, maybe because you look down on them or they can't because of your status."

I hit the mark, her face changed.

"You are really interesting..."

"Can't describe what am i, right? That's why i'm interesting, that's because you've never explore this in your life, these are the things that some people have but you don't because you refuse or ignorant to explore, that's why it's interesting, but if you want to, please do so, it will change your life."

She's irritated but it seems my words gets through, she's looking at me with narrowed eyes.

"I think, i hate you."

She duck and took a bite on the fries i am holding, directly into my fingers, suck it and play with it, she even lick it in the end.

"Ha? It looks like you are just acting to be cool, but actually naughty, you didn't even remove your hands and let me give you a service."

"I can just wipe it in my uniform."

"But why didn't you remove?"

"I just let you take your revenge on the burger."

"Gah, you even saw through it."

We eventually finished the bucket after few insults and tease.

Night....

A dark blue cloudy gray sky remained, and background lights far away from here, no one would dare to come here since this is a dark and scary place.

"I enjoyed it."

"Same as me, i enjoyed the night sky today." I respond

Her face seems to be annoyed

She then grab my right hand and put it to her chest.

"You enjoy the night than me ha? What now, is the night still better than this sensation? We can also make this night wild too."

She grab my neck behind to lower my head and get near to her face.

"Is my breath warm? Of course it isn't smelly, i take care of it."

She lift her right leg and put my left hand near her thigh, inserting in her skirt, it's actually near the butt now.

"What do you say huh?"

The moment she lift her left hand on my face, i also lift my hand away from her chest and hold her forearm and remove it, she's bit confuse, with that confusion, i also lift my other arm near her unbuttoned uniform and connect it.

"I enjoyed the night sky today, because you've brought me here, so thank you for doing this."

After i finished buttoning her uniform, i picked up our trashes.

"Please, don't let someone just use your body, it's important, don't use it as a asset but treasure it, something you want to cherish by yourself, dignity is important to everyone, but it is significantly more important to woman than us man who are already stereotyped as strong dependable gender, protect your body, that way, people will respect you, you might not need their respect, but it is something that everyone should have, you may not know it but you respect your body, you trick people, you stay away from others, but don't let just someone use your body freely for such shallow tricks, they gain advantage than what you did do."

I tidy the place and about to leave.

"Please, promise me that you won't use your body carelessly to insult people, you are not powerful as you think, that's why always be wary like you do, don't go to the lengths of destroying them, just ignore them, this is my take, and you are still the one who will decide, every words of mine will be opinion to yours."

I placed the trashes on the nearby bin and picked up my black bag.

"Please listen to me, even i am just your 1 week free trial boyfriend."

She just listened to my calming yet stern face and became speechless, after the end of my words, she laughed.

"Hahaha! That's embarrassing you know! Saying such things like that just to avoid that you are just embarrassed! Haha!"

She laughed, but i only smiled back.

"That's right, i am embarrassed, after all, it's a rare occurrence to touch those, didn't i say it? Your body is a treasure that needs to be hidden, so that it won't become cheap, i felt proud to touch such treasure, that's why i'm embarrassed."

She stayed quiet, and the embarrassment back fired.

"Just leave, i'm going to die hearing your corny words."

"Ha, then, goodbye Anria, see you tomorrow."

What a day...

************

"What a tough guy, saying embarrassing things like that."

"Looks like your honey words are getting rusty."

"Shut up, you saw it too right, i don't know if he even have interest on me or just respecting me, is he gay? But he has a boner."

".... Continue to look after him."

"Gahh, why is he so important? The exiled Rariso don't even have any connection to his family."

"It isn't about Rariso, it's about him, you still don't know him right, that's because that information is only for other huge families, your family is just a proxy of the Roxia family."

"I felt attacked."

"No need to think something offensive, i didn't mean any, only us and his real family knows he's alive, it seems that he really lost his memory, the real him won't ever become like what you are witnessing, that's why the Roxia family enjoyed his body, because he's just also a beast, but right now, he looks like a buddha, i need to observe him more so he can't cause any trouble."

"I see, then, would you like to hostage him? Or break him? Kill him?"

"No, not, just observe him and let him go, you can do whatever you want with him."

"Oh, i thought he's something important."

"The moment his family abandoned him, he already lost his worth, that's why his sole existence is to be a stress ball, beat him up to relief your stress on what his family caused, Roxia family benefitted the most at him, being a slave to them and a lab rat, i'm sure as a beast, he enjoyed his moments there with beautiful girls, but now that he lost his memory and everyone don't care about him anymore, he can just die from other families hands."

The mysterious girl walked out.

"Rariso, Rei, both are pathetic, both are exiled, both are useless, they fit together, the leecher inside their false family must be enjoying it the most."

The conversation ends, everyone left, silence remains and a cold wind stays

But the boy returned to pick up a black device on the trash.

The entanglement of his fate started to intertwined with the actions he caused, his viewpoint keeps increasing and soon, the past that doesn't belong to him will come to haunt him.
