Chapter 49: Unexpected Guest (2/2)
“Can I not come inside? I don’t want to say this where there is a chance of someone seeing or hearing me,” Zakira says while glancing back at the street.
Aria does not answer her but looks at Rebecca with a conflicted face, wordlessly asking her to decide.
I too look at Rebecca again. Her face is looking a little strange as if she is thinking hard about something.
“We will continue this talk in my room,” she says after being silent a few moments.
“Thanks. Let’s go quickly, shall we? I should be somewhere else right now…” Zakira says while stepping inside the house.
Aria looks a bit conflicted but she doesn’t oppose and just simply closes the door behind.
Suddenly, I feel a light tug on my sleeve. I turn back again and see Rebecca urging me to climb back upstairs along with her.
We won’t wait for Zakira and Aria?
Well, fine…
Together, me and Rebecca reach the room first. The whole way she kept holding on to my shirt and didn’t say anything but the instant we get inside the room, she turns back and hugs me tightly.
Woah…
Though a bit surprised from the sudden show of affection, I start caressing her back as well.
“You were lying before, weren’t you, Jacob?” she asks in a low voice.
…
“W-What? No…” I say nervously.
“You were. I know… I can tell. And, Jacob, you don’t need to tell me why the vampire princess is here or how did you both meet…”
Rebecca moves her face to level it with mine… just before kissing me on the lips.
“… but promise me that you will be careful around her and keep yourself safe,” she finishes.
Rebecca…
I open my mouth but before I can say anything, Aria and Zakira enter the room, making Rebecca separate from me hastily.
Aria is still eyeing Zakira suspiciously and it seems that neither of them exchanged any words while coming up here.
But man… It feels a little weird being in a female’s room along with three women.
Though I am not saying I mind it…
[Yeah, there is nothing to mind here at all. By the way, will you try to turn the topic of the conversation into FFFM foursomes?]
Obviously, I would— I mean, no. This is serious.
Rebecca takes out a mat from a cupboard and spread it on the floor before wordlessly gesturing us to sit down.
“Wait, I wanted to talk to Jacob alon— never mind,” Zakira says before giving a small sigh and sitting down along with us.
It seems like Zakira though that me and her will get to talk privately or something…
“So, what do you want to tell me so urgently?” I ask.
Zakira focuses her eyes on me before taking a deep breath and starting to speak…
“I want to let you all know that what I am about to tell you is highly classified and only a few selected people around the world know about this. So, I want all three of you to promise me first that this talk won’t leave this room…” she says importantly.
Wait a second, if this is so important, why are you even trying to tell us?
You met me just yesterday! And heck! You met Rebecca and Aria just minutes ago!
Are you really even thinking about telling us something so important that only a few people in the world know about it?
Well, fuck it. As suspicious as it sounds to me, I am not going to purposely tell her to stop. I want to hear this highly classified information as well.
It looks like Rebecca and Aria are thinking the same as me as all three of us nod in agreement… though with strange faces.
But well, Zakira looks extremely relieved by this anyway…
“Good. Now, as you all know I am here because of the student exchange program. Especially to participate in the mixed race magical tournament,” she says before taking another deep breath.
“And I want to tell you… that there is a hidden motive behind conducting this tournament.”
