I looked at her and even the the blush that was on her cheeks just now, had faded, i still felt that she meant something strange with her words, but that was pointed out by the koala hugging me Tokiko, she directly said :
Sophia, that spot is already filled by me, so go search for someone who is vacant .
So that what she meant, i completely forgot about that being a part of the bet we made, i too concurred on the words of Tokiko and told her that she i exempt her from adhering to that condition, but never would i have expected that she would suddenly hug my other arm and stick her tongue playfully at both our words and said :
I told you before, i find you quite interesting, now that you have also crushed me like that and proven yourself to be much stronger than me, i find myself falling for you as for you Tokikoshi, i hope for the best person out of the two of us to win his heart .
Why was it now a competition to begin with, i already exempted here from the bet, before i made my disagreement about what was currently happening clear, Tokiko actually agreed to accept her challenge and both declared war against each other, but weirdly enough the two had a smile on their faces while doing this .
I tried to break myself free from the hands of the two girls, but wasn't able to do so, at least not without using Prana, in case of Sophia her strength was already clear to me, but Tokiko too was holding my hand in her embrace with too much strength that was no less than the strength used by Sophia .
I was in an awkward position, my brain seemed to be freezing unable to make sense of what was happening, but then Sophia was the first to let go of my hand and she sat down on the floor and asked me to sit down with here, i tried to comply thinking that i would finally be able to find out about what happened with Momochi-senpai, the person and the subject of conversation that led all this to happen, but with unable to do so, due to being held from doing so by another strong hand .
Luckily she was called by the Captain due to her being a vice captain and the most skilled Kuromas, one of her responsibilities was to help in guiding other Kuromas, after warning me to not do anything weird with a glare, yet she had a smile on her face, she hopped away to met the other Kuromas .
I then sat down in front of Sophia and asked if she was ready to share what information she got with me, she said :
Don't tell Momochi that i told you about this okay, well, ummm, how to start explaining this, i never thought that i would lose, so i hadn't prepared anything to say actually .
I felt a bit offended by what she said, but remembering what took place in our fight, i completely acknowledge the fact that i might have been the one to have lost if not for the fact that i awakened my Prana, i couldn't help but reminiscing about the last vision i had a little and the affection that i held for that silhouette that was made of light, but then came out of reminiscing due to Sophia snapping her fingers in front of me, while wondering if i was still listening to her .
I apologized out of custom and told her that i wasn't, she just shook her head and accepted this and began to say :
You see, Momochi had a low self-esteem impression of herself, she can began self blaming for the tiniest things that might happened, for example she yesterday happened to crash into a speeding guy yesterday and she then sent me a message telling me that the boy who crashed into her probably thought of her as a boy and didn't care much to apologize to her, she kept lamenting about that for the entire morning .
....…, i almost covered my head in shame, i had no doubt that the boy Sophia was talking about was me, but i also didn't expect Momochi-senpai to be overthinking this so much, i was just too much in a hurry to see who i even crashed into, she was lamenting on this for no logic reason, that's not to be labeled as low self-esteem no more, that was more self- resentment .
Hey, if you don't want to listen, just say though and i will send you a massage about it later, what's your phone number by the way .
I looked at her strangely wondering whether was she using that excuse to just get my phone number, but seeing no harm in increasing the contacts on my phone, i added my number in her phone and she gave it a call, i then confirmed that my suspicion was indeed correct, when she continued to say while she was registering her contact information on my phone which she took off my hand just now, she said :
The one thing that she had most faith and confidence in was her movements speed, you might not be aware, but Momochhi is the fastest savior in school, at least that what she was before she sparred against you yesterday .
Momochi had went running out of the arena yesterday after you collapsed, i went to check on her this morning, but she didn't respond to me and i heard her sobbing voice from outside the room, so i vowed to sought revenge from you for what you did to her, but i failed and i now even fell into the enemy's hand, how embarrassing .
At the end of her words, i felt that i might really punch a girl in the face for the first time, thinking " read the room, woman " in mind, i began to wonder throughly about what i did, no thanks to the airheaded blonde in front of me, i began to understand the in and out of what happened .
Momochi-senpai absence might indeed be related to what happened yesterday, i believe that i might have unintentionally taken the last advantage she relied on to be different, to be special .
If Momochi-senpai was a building, i removed the cornerstone of that building, normally that wouldn't have caused much due to the building being already built and was now standing strongly, but what if the building was already a shaky building, then me removing its cornerstone might lead the whole building to collapse on and over itself .
That what was currently happening with Momochi-senpai, she was beginning to lose hope and her insecurities began to fuse with her self loathing character, resulting in a vicious cycle of self-harming, at least that what i was able to conclude from the information given by Sophia .
I seeing that i wasn't able to find a solution on how to fix a problem that i unintentionally caused, seeing that there was no other way around other than to directly ask for help, i asked the airheaded blonde girl in front of me for help .
Her answer was unsatisfactory to me, she told me that an apology might fix the situation with Momochi-senpai, i felt that this won't really do anything, but to make matters worse, hurting what little of pride she had left in the process .
Not to mention whether will it actually succeed or not, the problem of how to reach her was in itself a quite huge one, even Sophia didn't get much of a respond when she went to check on her this morning, so the probability of her agreeing to meet me or even speaking to me was extremely low .
I stood up and began walking towards the center of the crowds thinking about joining the training session, but just as i stood up, my vision suddenly went dark, but this time, i wasn't having any more visions, no i was losing conscious .
When i opened my eyes next, i once again met with the familiar ceiling of the infirmary, i wondered about what might have happened this time, when i suddenly being embraced by a girl, i thought of who might it be, Evelyn directly came to mind, but that wasn't possible due to the fact that the girl who had in her embrace was blonde, the airheaded Sophia came to mind next, but even though the current hair in front of me was blonde, it was a lighter shade of blonde .
Ahem, Mari-onee sama, that's too much .
A sweet childish voice brought me back to reality and cleard the confusion about whose embrace i was currently in, that voice belonged to the little girl and the sister of the principal Maya, just from her words and other things, all my doubts were now cleared, the one currently embracing me was none other than the beautiful principal of Akane Academy, Mari Shimon .
The moment she heard the voice of the little girl, the principal holding me in her arms panicked and let go of me and took Maya by the hand and get out of the room and with a frustrated face she said :
I hope you recover well, Kanzaki Tokiko is really a good girl, she said those weird words to me a second before she disappeared from my vision, i was feeling lost for all sorts kind of reasons, i felt lost from being unable to understand what she was talking about, why she suddenly mentioned Tokiko, i wonder .
Another reason to be feeling lost was due to lost feeling of warmth that i had a second before, but i was depraved of a second later, my heart was beating so hard that i began to think that it wanted to come out of my chest .
The last reason for why i was lost was due to the reaction on the principal face just now, i couldn't decipher what it meant at all, but the blush on her face was easy to recognize, from what happened recently, i couldn't help but wonder if her situation was like Evelyn, maybe i had known the principal in my past life, two days, it has only been two days and my life had already turned upside down .
A sudden buzz sound sounded beside me and on the table i saw that there was a note and a phone massage, i looked at the phone message first and saw that it was from Tokiko, she was asking if the principal was gone now and that she was eager to come and check on me, i now having a bit more clear mind, found a solution, a sort of an excuse that would make her give up on meeting for today .
After a long time of chatting through messages, she finally let go of the idea of wanting to meet, all under the premise of walking to school together in the morning, i finding a way out agreed to that condition of hers and said goodbye to one another .
I sighed deeply and once again slumbered into the bed, now i did truly understand what Haimura Moroha was feeling after he was approached by Renjuu Satsuki, who at the mention of her, i couldn't help but wonder how was she doing and if she was feeling fine, now, my situation with that girl too was quite complicated .
I knew that i had feelings for Tokiko-senpai and that was the same as me, but that was more than enough reason to be cautious with how to deal with those feelings, i had no problem before in adapting to the memories of fighting and killing, but these romantic encounters and situation, were completely a different thing .
Not to mention that just by recalling what had happened in my last recall of memories, i don't know whether my meeting with that celestial girl happened before or after i met with Evelyn, but i believe that it didn't matter much, either way i seem to be a playboy, that irked me so much due to the problem that caused our family to have, i really can't wrap my head around all this, so it was better for me to let it go, at least for now .
I then remembered the note on the desk, i got up once again and opened it, it was a short note written by Sophia wishing for me to get well and giving me Momochi-senpai contact information, i thought to myself what a weird girl, couldn't she have just sent me a massage, but i nonetheless appreciated the gesture and made a note to myself to thank her later .
I got out my phone, if the principal gave me a chance before, i would have asked about what was going on with it, but sadly she didn't, so i still had no clue about the situation with the phone calls, i saw that my mother have called me a few times before, so i added another note to myself to call her back after dealing with Momochi-senpai matter first, i already had an idea in mind but whether will it work or not, that was completely dependent on her .
I dialed the number on the note, two, three, four, times but their was no response, i thought that she was taking a nap or busy with something or just didn't want to answer any calls, so i got out of the bed, stretched my body a bit lazily, then got out of the infirmary, i called my mother and she picked up the phone the moment the call connected .
She asked me about how my day went, i told her that it went quite good, it really did other than the incident in the morning and the few weird encounters that i had and me losing conscious, again, i would say that it was perfect even .
The moment i passed through the school gates, while still on the phone i bumped into someone speeding through the use of Prana, we crashed into one another and both fell backwards, i was thrown away in the and was only able to regain my balance after i used my Prana to land steadily on the ground, the phone luckily was still with me, otherwise my mom would have panicked if suddenly the call was cut off .
I told her that something urgent had just came up and that i would call her later and hanged up the phone, then i walked towards the absent-minded girl still laying on the floor staring at me and helped her up, while saying :
" We really should stop running into each other like this, don't you think so too, Momochi-senpai ? .
Yes, the girl that crashed into me just now while i was coming out of the infirmary was none other than the girl that i had tried to reach before, Momochi Haruka .
