31 Brandish Myu 2 Part I (2/2)
I thought about it for a while but still decided to let him inside. If he is lying, then I just have to run away after faking my death and if he is telling the truth then he can make me stronger. And that way I can get revenge. I will become strong, so that I never become sad like that ever again.
As I observed him looking around, he turned to me and said to clean myself while he prepared food. I nod and head inside the bathroom thinking to myself that I must do as he says because he is the only one who can make me strong right now.
After taking a bath I came out to a very nice smell of food. I sat at the table and I was hesitating to eat it as it might be poisoned. But the smell it was giving off was making it hard for me who hasn't had anything to eat for over a month now. So I started to eat at a very fast pace after hesitating for a while. It was delicious. Considering that I didn't go out to buy any groceries, this must have been made from the ones we already had. And that already produced food this good, if he had fresh ingredients I wonder how good it will be.
After eating, we sat down in the living room and he started telling me the plan he has come up with to make me stronger. He will be training me physically and he also said that I would be learning about human body and basic medicine from the village doctor. Although I don't know if learning about the body will be useful, knowing basic medicine can be very useful in the future if ever get hurt.
”My name is Brandish Myu. Please make me stronger so that I never become sad again.”
After agreeing to his arrangements, I finally said something to him and he smiled and once again introduced himself. After that I went to bed and I was thinking of how I will take my revenge and after that maybe help out those without strength like me, just like how Ray is helping me.
Next morning, I woke up to a heavenly smell which dragged me down to the dining table where Ray served me the source of the smell, breakfast. After getting the taste of it, I was like an addict. I wanted more saw I pleaded Ray for more and his face turned red for some reason and went to the kitchen, from where he brought my second serving. He then dashed to the bathroom but I was focused on the food by then which didn't last long.
As I was in a daze once again, I saw Ray's plate. At that moment I started a war inside my head. I was contemplating whether to take his food or not. But without even realizing when, I had already ate it and I was licking it. At the same moment as I regained clarity for myself, Ray came back to the sight of me licking his plate.
While I was calm on the outside, I was panicking on the inside. I had very quickly decided to run away at that moment so I put the plate down on the table, stood up from my chair and dashed outside at full speed.
”Come back here Brandiiishh.”
I heard Ray's shout just as I exited the house and I ran even faster. I kept running and running around the village trying to lose him but I was caught in the end and brought back home. Once we reached home he put me down on the couch and stood in front of me with arms crossed and a smirk which made me shudder in fear that he will hit me.
At that point I froze so I didn't exactly hear what he said but by instinct I covered my head when I saw him raise his arms with a wider smirk than before. But the pain didn't come as he started to tickle me instead. I had forgotten when I had last laughed and he had managed to once again make me laugh. Although forced.
Seeing him dusting his hands and walking off towards the kitchen, I don't know why but I felt like I could rely on him and that he would never hurt me. I felt like, even if I didn't manage to get my revenge, he would be there for me to fall back to. With those thoughts in mind, I waited for him as I started my life and training with Ray.
