Whisper's Between Worlds

It didn't take long before Aoi bought them drinks, she was at least looking calmer now.

He couldn't help but look at her a little differently, he already knew that she proposed to him, of course he will feel a little awkward.

That's why he never opened a single letter till now to read the name of the sender.

He sighed and continued eating the lunch, although it was tasty, he wouldn't rate it at chef's level, did she cook it herself? No way right.

"Tenka-san, are you already preparing for any top exams?"

Well here she goes again. I guess rich people are really bored huh… he looked around and saw that everyone was talking. Looks like it's just human habit to talk pointlessly.

"Yes, it's good to prepare from early."

"You are always quite diligent in your studies, you will definitely land your dream job in future. I just hope that I will be able to secure a place in any college."

"Kuge-san, your grades are quite good, you will definitely get a good college."

"Like you even need it, your bank account might have enough money right now, which Haruto might not be able to earn in his whole life with his dream job."

This was said by none other than her own brother.

"So what, I want to do something with my own skills."

"Ya ya… you really work hard for that."

"Shut up you idiot brother of mine, anyway how about you Aisawa-san, what's your plan? If you don't have one then how about you come with me, I will make you the top actress of Japan."

"No thank you, I prefer simple life."

"Oh please goddess, don't waste this godly beauty of yours, it will be injustice for all the people who will never be able to see it, so please say yes."

"Still no."

"I won't give up sis, you better remember that. Hey Takuya, what's your plan? Since you always quit everything, don't tell me you are planning to quit your life?"

Takuya got stunned for a sec, he did think of that once, but well it was just a fleeting thought. A thought which had definitely come in many people's minds at least once in their life.

Now, all he wanted is to leave this world just like in novels and arrive somewhere in a magical continent where he definitely won't get bored as much as he gets on Earth.

"Quitting huh… sounds fun."

He just answered it as a joke. But the way he speaks, even his jokes sound serious.

"What?" Aoi was shocked.

Yukina also trembled internally.

Even Daiki and Haruto got shocked. Daiki knew his personality already, he also knew that the reason he left soccer was because he got bored of it.

And if Takuya really got bored of everything, he might definitely take that step.

"Oi… you fucking dead bastard."

Daiki really got angry and pulled him by his necktie.

"You better remove that thought from your mind."

Takuya sighed inwardly, he gave off the wrong expression, looks like he has to change his way of talking, or he might again say something unwarranted, it won't be easy though.

"It was only a joke."

"Then make sure it fucking sounds like one."

"Ok, but can you leave me now, or are you planning to fulfill my wish?"

"Che… bastard." Daiki left him free.

"Takuya."

Aoi called him, her voice was a little lower than usual.

"What is it?"

"Was it really a joke?"

"Yeah, didn't I say so."

"Should I believe you?"

"Well, I might be a jerk but I don't lie nowadays."

She looked at him for some time before sighing and saying,

"Well, if you really feel like doing something stupid like that, do tell me, I will buy your life."

"Whatever."

Yukina listened to everything quietly, she might seem calm right now, but she was anything but calm internally.

After that incident, she hated him, but eventually, it was just hate born from a simple mistake, it didn't take long before it passed away.

As she grew up, she began missing him, she also knew that what he said was out of immaturity, they were only kids after all.

He also used to tell her how he wanted to go to Tokyo as he was bored of their hometown.

So, no doubt he was happy when he got the chance to go.

If she had told him that thing calmly, then he would have definitely accepted his mistake.

But she pushed him because his going away reminded her about her own father, which definitely angered him.

This anger made him say something which broke her more, and she left without saying anything. No doubt he had bigger fault here, but what she did wasn't good either, though it's negligible to what he did so, all fault is his definitely.

Her mother was a working professional, and when she got a job in Tokyo she was happy. Her mother was also friends with Takuya's mother, this was the reason why she met with Takuya in the first place, their mothers were in touch all this time.

They also knew that they had fought and didn't even talk to each other, but they never tried to interfere.

When they came to Tokyo her mother told her to join this high school, it was a school where top students are assigned to section A, and her grades were more than enough to put her in this section, she had topped all her exams till now after all.

That dummy was also in this section, so she was happy. When she had seen him the first time, she wanted to go talk to him, but held back and waited for him to do so, after all, he had made the bigger mistake so he should say sorry first.

After 2 days she came to enough understanding that he had changed a lot, his old self had totally gone, it was like he just wanted to avoid everything.

She didn't like this change at all. With this, she knew that even if he wanted to talk to her, it would take a while, she could wait but she also wanted to do so, it had already been 5 years and she didn't want to take longer, 1 month that's all, if he didn't come to her in this period of time, she would beat him up to make sure he came to his old self.

When she got the offer of lunch from Kuge Aoi, she took it because he was going too and she wanted to know more about him. But she also didn't like the way Aoi was acting with him.

It was easy to tell that she liked him, and she didn't like this at all, the only good thing was that this idiot didn't show any type of interest in her which was good or she wouldn't have to wait 1 month to beat him up.

Finally when everything was going alright he had to go and make that stupid remark, that scared her too much, she was about to do the same as what Daiki had done, and even in a more brutal way. It was getting harder to hold back now.

Joke he said, looks like he had also forgotten how to joke and what jokes are, good I will teach him about it carefully.

"That was quite an interesting joke indeed."

This was the first time she said something at this table, which was why everyone was surprised to hear it.

Takuya got stunned though, although she had just made a remark here, without even looking at him, it was meant for him.

Although her voice was sweet, he knew that she was too angry, he never forgot her way of speaking, and he knew that if they really came together again, he was going to get beaten brutally for this stupid joke of his.

He wanted to respond to that remark, but didn't know what to say, should he say sorry first or should he reply to that remark.

This is the first time in 5 years when he felt flustered truly, it was like a lost feeling had come back to him.

"Wow that's a surprise, even Aisawa-san thinks it's a joke to even call it a joke."

Well, Aoi saved him from this torture.

He sighed inside and couldn't help but think again, will he leave to another world, will he be happy to be saved from her beating or will he miss it.

He shook his head internally, what kind of thought is that, he isn't masochist is he, definitely not.

But he also made up his mind as this was also a good time to say sorry to her, he didn't know her reaction but if she accepted it, he was definitely going to get beaten up.

Takuya and others didn't know that while they were enjoying their lunch, there was another place where talks between two supreme gods were going on.

One is the watcher over Earth and other mortal planets and the other is the goddess who rules over a magical world.

...

"You said that you will send me three mortals from your world, you aren't reneging on your promise, are you?"

"Of course, how can I forget that, it just took some time to find the best candidates and even you will be surprised to see two of them when I send them over. In fact, I will send you five instead of three as an apology."

"Sounds good, so when are you sending them?"

"There's no need to wait then, I will send them now."

"Fine then, I will give you access to my dimension, don't take too long, it's hard to hold it for more than 5 seconds."

"It won't take even second"

....

Takuya had just built up his courage to say sorry when they felt a pull and vanished from the cafeteria along with the other four. Nobody saw what happened, as they were all in an illusion.

From this day onwards these five ceased to exist in anyone's memory, even their parents included. It's like they never existed in this world in the first place.
