Chapter 456 - One day (2/2)
”I've heard that you made a deal with that Silver guy.”
”It was long before I met you,” Lyn mumbled. ”He ignored me for so long so I thought I no longer had any use.”
”It's still annoying.”
Lyn sighed. ”Does that matter right now? Get it already.”
Shioka glanced down at the people sprawled on the ground. He reached over and fiddled with their pockets before pulling out a small emblem. ”You know, I heard that guy is making a move huh? I didn't think that he would end up going to such a degree.”
”But you knew who he was didn't you?” Lyn wanted to confirm this for awhile now. But this guy is very hard to contact.
”That's true. We could have easily stopped him then. Yet if we did that then we would have trampled on his wishes of you leading a happy life.”
Lyn looked away, 'it's all because of her again.' She still doesn't recall exactly what happened between Kazuya and her in the past. But, it seems like everybody knows about it.
”Hiding the truth isn't necessarily saving him.”
”Your so blunt and to the point. Your like him in that sense I suppose. That's true we could have told him but along the way he already found out and yet you still treated him normally right?”
”If you knew Kazuya, I wish you told me. It feels like I was sneaking around for nothing.”
”That guy is dense and innocent despite what it looks like. He leads the entire underground world in his shoulders and has frightening strength. He does things so perfectly sometimes that you would doubt she is human sometimes.”
Her sweat dropped, hey, hey isn't that taking it a bit too far? Even though she can't deny it. ”When I asked him about black markets and underground matters. Kazuya was always uncomfortable. I only just learned the reason why recently. It seems I did something unnecessary. I wish somebody told me sooner.”
Shioka pulled out his cigarette and lighter. ”Want one?”
Lyn nodded and Shioka passed her one. Lyn didn't put it to her mouth and just watched the small pieces of smoke around the cigarette.
”He didn't do it deliberately. I didn't know it was him who came as the Sound Kingdom's ambassador. Even then, I had a hard time recognizing him.”
”He faked his name before?”
”Yeah, he went by the name Zero before and well his appearance.. He had black hair and the presence around him.. He was frightening.”
Then that makes sense. From that description, it's normal Shioka couldn't recognize Kazuya. Yet if it were her, Lyn knew she could recognize him. That sounds so conceited of her. But, ”I think I met him before,” Lyn mumbled. Now that she has learned of his other appearance, something came to mind. Not the boy she met in the park that day. But another time, another place.
Kazuya was an unusual guy.
She often found herself bewildered at by his actions. Despite his perfection though, Lyn understood all too well that he isn't satisfied with what he has now. Kazuya isn't satisfied with the ability he has now. He is someone who always tries to reach higher, someone who always tries to aim for more.
This was one of the reasons why she found it difficult to be with him. Unlike Kazuya, her goals and aims seemed so small.
