Chapter 50 - Pandoras Box (1/2)
It had been more than two weeks since Sei left and Davi never heard anything from him. It was as if he just disappeared from existence, leaving no trace at all. Every time he left, Davi always felt like there was something inexplicably strange about it. Davi has been wondering why it felt that way but to her dismay, she couldn't find an answer. All she knew was that the feeling was undeniably mysterious. She felt as though he was not just leaving to go somewhere far away, it almost felt like his existence also seems to vanish as if he was just… a dream.
”Don't you miss the young master?” Mr. Kazuki asked while the two of them were watering the plants together.
Upon hearing him, Davi smiled. ”I do.”
This has been the longest time she hadn't seen him and she didn't expect that she would be missing him like this. She realized that she strangely needed Sei's presence more than she thought.
”The young master's occasional disappearance is really inevitable. Is this alright with you?”
Davi went silent for a while then she faced the old man. ”Hmm… I think I'm fine with it. I'm aware he has lots of things to do but this is the first time I haven't seen him for this long… I just realized I'm actually missing him more as days goes by. Haha.”
Her cute awkward smile and her sincere words never ceased to warm the old man's heart. He had been sighing and feeling distant from the world all this time, but now, a certain young lady appeared and it was as if the sun finally rose from a deep slumber.
”I'm sure the young master has been missing you more, young miss.”
”Haha. You think so?”
”Why? You think this old man is lying?”
”Hmm… Sorry gramps but I'm not really convinced.” Davi chuckled mischievously for a moment then continued seriously; ”When it comes to Sei… how should I put it… well, he's unreadable. He's like a book I can't even begin to read because it has been locked with a series of bloody tough chains.”
”Are you frustrated?”
”Frustrated, huh… I think not to that extent. But I admit my curiosity has been growing larger lately and I'm afraid it might burst out soon. Haha. I hope I can still continue to hold it in, wait…” Davi paused as she put her one hand on her hip then faced the old man again as if she was a teenage spoiled brat who was about to demand something outrageous from her grandfather. ”Gramps, I think it's time for you to talk. You promised to tell me something about Sei if I cooked for you the whole week, remember?”
”Haha. So in the end, you won't even go easy on this old man, huh.”
