To The Park

After hearing his son's suggestions, Adrian looked at his sister, Zara, and said. "Are you okay with both of them going out?" Adrian humbly asked for Zara's permission before sending Ratsujin with his son.

"Yes, Ratsujin can go with Ravern as long as they come soon," Zara answered.

Zara then looked at Ratsujin and said, "Ratsujin, you can go with your cousin. Just come back soon."

As soon as Zara gave her permission, Ravern stood up from his seat and walked towards Ratsujin. He grabbed onto Ratsujin's hand and dragged him away without his permission. Ratsujin hesitated a little, but his Mom had permitted him. So he gently released his wrist from Ravern's grip and walked with him.

Moments later, after Ratsujin and Ravern left, everyone was eating their lunch until Adrian spoke. "Zara, is Asta not coming here? Is he still at work?" Adrian continued, "Poor him! I can't believe he works twelve hours a day, three sixty-five days a year. His boss must give him a lot of work, doesn't he." Adrian was playfully teasing his sister.

Zara quickly responded as if she had already prepared an answer. "Adrian, you know him. Do you think Asta is one of those who can be bossed around." Zara continued with a smirk, "You know Asta told me to call him when we come here. So he can come here too. He needs to talk to you."

"Wait! Let me call him and tell him you are missing him." As Zara spoke, she pulled out her phone and began to dial her husband Asta's number.

Adrian panicked as he saw Zara dialing Asta's number. He called her out before she called him, "WAIT! STOP!! I was just kidding. You do not have to disturb Asta."

Zara put her phone back after seeing the sacred look on Adrian's face. She smiled and said, "I am not going to call Asta. Besides, he does not like coming here." 

Takeshi, G-Pa was simply having fun seeing a brother and sister having fun.

Ravern had not taken Ratsujin outside. Instead, he had taken him straight to his room.

Ratsujin was sitting in Ravern's room with him. Ravern's room was enormous. It had two study tables. Each of the tables had a laptop placed on them and a king-size bed. His room also had a walk-in wardrobe filled with luxury clothes. 

Both Ravern and Ratsujin were sitting on Ravern's bed.

After a brief pause of silence, "Ratsujin, what happened in the Academy today. I am sorry about everything."

"Forgive me! I could not take a stand for you!" Ravern grabbed Ratsujin's hand and asked him for his forgiveness.

Ratsujin tried to get his hand released from Ravern's grip before answering him, but Ravern's grip was firm. He was not about to let go of Ratsujin's hand till he had forgiven him.

"FINE! Besides, it's not you. I am upset about." Ratsujin said.

As Ravern heard Ratsujin's words, he released his hand.

After releasing Ratsujin's hands, Ravern tried to console him about Samuel's situation. "Ratsujin, you do not have to worry about Samuel. He is like that to everyone." Ravern continued, " He was like that to me. When I first join the Academy."

Just as Ravern finished, Ratsujin spoke in a defeated tone. "You are lying. I remember when you joined the Academy. You told me how nice your teacher was and everyone to you." Ratsujin continued, "You also showed me the pictures of the party Mr. Samuel gave to you when you joined the Academy."

Ratsujin's reply left Ravern stunned. He did not know how to continue this conversation. The entire room went silent after Ratsujin's replied.

A few silent seconds later, Ratsujin spoke. "So, you said we are going outside. Where are we going?" Ratsujin spoke only to lighten up Ravern's mood. He thought his reply caused him to be sad.

"Yeah! There was a park close by. I thought we could go there, but I don't think you want to come with me." Ravern spoke slowly.

"You rarely come here. I thought today when you come here. We would have fun." Ravern continued, "We are blood-related. You are like a brother to me." Ravern spoke in a manipulative tone.

Ratsujin took a deep breath and said, "Fine! We'll go there."
