Chapter 8 Part1 (2/2)
I never thought of romance due to the situation my family was in, and my teacher made me dismiss the thought completely as well. I just didn't really care for romance.
While I stood there frowning without saying anything, the council president and his girlfriend behind me stood up. And.
”I pity the fool who does not know the power of love!”
”I pity you, who cannot appreciate the beauty of love!”
”Shut up!”
They both said something quite annoying at once. Actually, their statements made me a little p.i.s.sed as well.
”Um… does that make me a pitiable fool too, then?”
The two people froze.
”Y, you…”
The vice president's eyes began to fill with an emotion different from that of hate. This was…
”No, please don't look at me like you just met a comrade.”
The man was looking at me with a mixture of the feeling one would get after finding a long-lost brother, and the feeling one would get when looking at a war orphan. I looked past that, and turned to the council president and his girlfriend.
”Am I, who does not know the beauty of love, a pitiable fool?”
”N, no, well…”
”I thought you'd have someone already…”
I stepped closer to the two.
”I'm solo. Never loved, or have been loved by someone outside my family. Everyone always looks at me, thinks 'I'm going to be rejected anyway', and never approaches me.”
Of course, I'd reject anyone in a heartbeat, but I was still angry at the couple for calling a person like me a pitiable fool.
”You say something like this to someone who just did everything to protect you? Sutr got his arm blown off trying to save you two, even?”
-No, you told me to do th… mm…
Sutr looked away when I glared at him.
”In any case, I wonder what would happen if I stepped away here?”
”…Please save us.”
I smiled at the council president.
”I don't want to.”
I walked past the vice president after saying this. I could hear screams behind me, but it wasn't really worth saving the couple anyway.
The enemy that now lost his purpose would probably become confused. The best thing that could happen was to have him sever his connection with Loki. At this point, when most people were already incapacitated, the ones that I really needed to be careful of from Yugrasia were few…
”No… nevermind…”
There were actually quite a lot. Hnng…
-Can't we just destroy them all?
”Oh great demon lord Sutr who just lost his arm, shut the h.e.l.l up.”
I ignored Sutr muttering something to himself in the corner, and began to think. The number of enemies we have. Their core members. Their strongest units. But, all these thoughts got erased quite soon.
There was someone in front of me.
Someone that I had not believed I would ever meet again, despite having spent a huge amount of time with.
”46?”
”No, right now, I am Mirua.”
”B, before tha…”
I tried to say something, but 46, no, Mirua cut me off, and smiled.
”Let's go.”
”To where?”
She responded casually to me.
”To the instructor.”
