32 Annoyed. (1/2)

Ha…..eating lunch alone is just bliss~!

Watching all the other students walk around below makes me feel like they have nothing to do with me. I can easily squish them....

Wait second…..I'm starting to sound like some villain.

There's no way right? All I do is kill people all day in Sapphire…...and hire people to hack criminal records.....and enslave people....a-and get information through bribes….

Damn. I accidentally became a villain. Well that's funny.

Still amusing myself with my thoughts, I suddenly sensed a presence coming towards the roof. Looks like I'm gonna be getting a visitor.

The unexpected guest burst through the unlocked door and scanned the roof until his blue eyes fell on me.

”*YURIIIIII!!!!! I'VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE! You don't understand how hard it was for me to lose those shrieking girls, I was creeped out by them. Are all girls in this school like that?*” Eugene yelled while dashing towards me.

”Uh, no. Only when you make a much too fancy appearance like you and Tomoe. If you want less attention, you can always get plastic surgery.”

Eugene didn't flinch at my words.

”*Ahhhh…..it's so nice hearing you diss me again. It's been much too long, just think about all the flattery and brown-nosing I had to put up with just to meet you. I might get nightmares soon.*”

”...”

”Anyways! It sure was hard to find your school, thankfully your father is my dad's friend or else I might have never found you!”

Screw you dad.

”*What are you doing up here Yuri? Shouldn't you be ruling the school or thrashing some bullies as you did before? Why did so many people sound like they wanted to kill you, did you go and do something again? Are you having trouble getting people to listen, want my help?*”

Too many questions man, way too many. I guess he doesn't know about the bullying yet. Now that I think about it…...I really did have quite an attitude back in America. What a child I was…..

”*Hey Yuri wanna join my guild in Sapphire?! No wait, you should become the leader. I'm only worthy of being your servant after all. You realized the source of the guild name right?! Mizanco, a ship between Mizuki and Franco!*”

My god, please shut up and let me eat my lunch.....for some reason he only acts like this when he's with me....

”Hey Franco-san, shut up.” I sharply retorted before turning back to my lunch. ”You're ruining the peace and quiet.”

”...F-franco-san!?”

I should find another roof to eat lunch soon.

”Yes, your name is Eugene Franco is it not? It would be rude for me to address a simple acquaintance casually by their first name no? This is Japan, not America. Introduce yourself properly next time. Also, speak Japanese, not English.” I rebuked, my voice as cold as ice.

Eugene stood there for a few seconds before a grin slowly crept onto his face.

”Yuri! You're finally back to normal, the old Yuri I know would never stay silent forever!” He cheered before running up and stretching out his arms.

Uh, no hugs, please.

I fluidly stepped to the side and evaded his overly enthusiastic charge. Not intending to give up, he turned around and dashed at me once again. Soon, it turned into a high-speed game of tag.

Oh man, I'm actually working up a sweat! Eugene's speed has improved once again, he's almost caught up with me...

”Huff…..Boss…..your speed is beyond normal now…..I can't believe I still can't catch up even after ten years of hard training...” Eugene tiredly sighed from the floor.

”Hmmm…...honestly, I'm getting quite the workout, your speed is not bad at all.”

Eugene's eyes sparkled and looked at me as if that compliment was his lifeline.

Huh. I think his problem has gotten even worse after ten years…...but whenever I brought it up with the rest of the group back then, they just laughed and said something about a yuri syndrome…..I wonder if it's contagious?

I suddenly sensed a familiar presence steadily walking up to the roof. Apparently Eugene also sensed it, he immediately stood up straight and fixed is crumbled clothes.

The door creaked open and I saw Sia standing on the other side looking at me with an exasperated expression. Her gaze temporarily flitted over Eugene before completely ignoring his existence.

As expected of Sia, her male tolerance is at the same level as me!

Eugene seemed pretty surprised and gained a better impression of her. But for some reason the look in his eyes doesn't exactly look safe…...it's like he found a new member to recruit for a club or something.

”Oh, so you had company after all, Yuri. I guess he's the one that disabled all the cameras I set up here. Well, don't mind me, I'm just going to be reactivating them and then I'll leave…..” Sia tiredly explained to us as she went to the corner and started meddling with a smartly camouflaged micro cam.

The heck, when did he have time to do that....ah, he must have used a remote jammer.

”Ho…..? So it was you who placed that there, how interesting. You must be from class…...2-B, am I correct?” Eugene said while flashing Sia his best smile.

Sia didn't look like she even noticed.

”Mhm.”

”Well…..how do you feel about dinner with me? I have a party this evening and I would be honored if you could participate…..”

”Hm. No thanks.”

Yeahhhhh! Sia, you have exceeded my expectations once again! It's not every day where you see a girl reject a Rich Prince Charming.

”Well, Yuri will be com-”

”Ah yeah, Sia, I want access to your cameras as well.” I interrupted Eugene who was in the middle of talking. ”Franco-san, although everyone at school called me Yuri. I won't allow you to do that same. Mizuki-san is fine, but I would prefer if you just didn't talk to me at all.”

Ehhh....Sia is gazing at me with awe in her eyes….I'm pretty sure she can manage to do the same though.

Eugene turned towards me with his face twitching.

”L-look here Yuri-”

”Mizuki-san”

”Yu-”

”Mi-zu-ki-san.”

”...Look, Mizuki-san, I'm just trying to invite this beautiful lady to my evening party! Will you not interrupt us?”

Sia is cringing behind you. Actually, she looks like she's gonna be sick…..h-hang in there Sia, I'll try and chase this guy away soon.

”*Mr. Franco, if you don't scram soon, I'll personally crash your party, ruin your public image, take over your business, and make your father disown you. I still do have a lot of influence among the Drifters after all.*” I threatened in English so that Sia wouldn't pick up on more information then she needed.

Eugene immediately disappeared from the roof. He knew that I wasn't bluffing. At least he knows what's good for him. Should I explain to Sia what I said…...nah, too lazy.

”Y-yuri…...what did you do....”

”Cough, nothing at all. Just threatened him with some stuff….”

”Oh, you knew him?”

”Y-yeah…...from a few years ago.”

”Hmmmmm….it's true that I can't seem to find any information on you before you moved here from America. It must have been hidden quite well by a professional hacker. No, a hacker genius that even my hacker couldn't beat. The only piece of information I could find was…...well, the piece I used to get people to start bullying you…..”

Oh. I didn't know about that, Ryan must have done it when I left. I guess he didn't want to inconvenience me…...but he didn't know the reason I moved either so it's no wonder that he didn't cover it up.

But how the heck did Sia find it? I guess that remains a mystery until she tells me, I won't ask, there's really no need to know.

”Well yeah, let's just say Euge was a childhood friend of mine.”

”So you aren't calling him by his last name now that he's gone? And you're the one calling me a tsundere?”

”Those are separate matters. He's just really annoying sometimes.”

Sia looked over from her corner and pouted after noticing that I had no change in expression.

Hah. You can't make me flustered with just that. Try again in a few years!

”Anyways, you're going to Franco-san's party, right? Do you want me to go as well?” She deftly changed the topic while putting back the camera and standing up.

”Nah, I'm good. I'm just going to peek in and get out.”

”....What are you going to wear?'
