114 What She Is 1 (1/2)
Who was the owner of that voice?
Actually, Sofony made a mistake when describing the person's voice. Maybe it was indeed masculine, gender-wise. However, the more appropriate description should be 'boyish'.
Right! To those thinking the guy was someone whose name starts with the letter M, uhh, no, sorry, wrong answer. Even though that person was indeed someone she never wanted to meet again, there was another one she would love to never cross paths with too!
In front of this person, it was a matter-of-fact for her face to become whiter than paper, with beads of sweat even forming on her forehead. Because he was someone she probably feared more than her lunatic system!
At this time, as she widened her eyes at the teenager boyishly grinning at her, she even forgot to question why somebody with a voice that sounded so concerned a second ago has now that kind of smirking face.
As dread overwhelmed her to the point that she forgot her headache, a disturbing question automatically popped up in her subconsciousness.
'D-don't tell me I'm now his target!?'
Ignoring the useless system's reply, she forced her unsteady gait straight and then continued to back away from the crazy kid. Her eyes busily swam around and then more dread come upon her as she realized how crazy he was to actually appear in a place like this.
In reality, it was just actually her prejudice... Somehow, in her mind, the boy had long become someone who only knows how to blow things up. In order words, she was assuming he most likely came here for her and that he would bomb this place into pieces of rubble!
She feared that if his goal was really her, then the tens of thousands of individuals here would turn into cold corpses along with her!
This assumption did not change even after he stopped grinning at her ominously and started staring at her with innocent-looking eyes.

Seeing that she was still warily looking around, he copied her and noticed the many people walking to and fro the place.
When he murmured, 'Aww, so crowded...', Sofony became alarmed and even though she wanted nothing more than to stay away from him, she considered everyone innocent here and finally decided to steel her tense nerves.
'I can't let him stay here... If he suddenly feels like blasting me to death without rhyme or reason even if so many people are around...'
After secretly biting her lower lip, she opened her mouth and said, ”If, if you come here for me, let's talk somewhere private... Please, with no one nearby.”
Somehow, her request made the kid's eyes lit up. He excitedly nodded, ”Nice! I mean, cool! That's actually what I want to suggest too. Though my companion said you're no mind reader, it's amazing that you get my intention without me saying it! Hahahaha. I like it! Seems like we can get along!”
She secretly grimaced. '...Uhh, no, please don't get along with me...'
She ignored her AI which started spouting nonsense again and nervously led the kid away.
Minutes passed which they spent on walking. Thankfully, the boy did not complain along the way and even looked carefree and happy as ever as he hummed a familiar tune. The devil in her head was also too free as it kept criticizing the AI of the other.
But she was not. The pain from her head already vanished but due to the situation being quite nerve-wracking, she failed to notice it.
”Hehe, it's already deserted here!” Suddenly, his youthful voice resounded from behind.
Sofony stopped walking and turned around. It was hard to not feel nervous since she saw his innocent face again.
”Hey, all this while, you keep acting wary of me! Have we met before?” the teenager casually asked after sitting down on the lowest step of the cement stair nearby.
Sofony looked away from the immoral host younger but way stronger than her.
”You're a host, if I won't be wary of you, I'd be too much of an idiot.”
”Oooh! I see!” His eyes widened, ”Ah, what did you say again? I was asking my companion so I didn't hear from you. Anyway, I know now that we indeed met before this. You're actually in that bus that I bombed a month ago! Wow! Nice! That's the best encounter I ever envisioned in my head and I'm glad it somehow came true! It means when we first met, there are many beautiful fireworks!”
The boy looked so pleased with himself. Obviously, he never thought how that 'best meeting' left Sofony and her sister's lives hanging by a thread.
When Sofony was gulping and wondering if he was so higher-leveled that he could inquire hidden information about her, the system replied with a boisterous laugh.
Feeling helpless, she asked, ”What do you want? I didn't have any more contact with you after that. I didn't mess with you!”
'I didn't even want to see you again... I'm already going crazy here because Clarissa drove me to the point I had to separate with those two... Although I know you're a madman, can't you just focus on that woman? I'm a small fry compared to her and you.'
Her eyes hinted these.
