Chapter 854 - Bastard! (1/2)
Sitting on the edge of the cliff, Tabane watched the sea, waiting for Haru to come. She was wondering what that guy was doing to make her wait this long. Dangling her legs below, she moved it rhythmically and thought that it wasn't bad to go out from time to time. Looking at the starry sky, she hadn't been in this good mood for a long time since she wanted to come to another world as soon as possible.
”Hey, Chi-Chan, what are you doing here late at night?” Tabane asked. She turned and looked at Chifiyu who was leaning on the tree while looking at her.
”Nothing. I just want to ask you a story, a hypothetical one,” Chifuyu said.
”Story?”
Tabane titled her head curiously with her sleepy eyes.
”What if a certain genius leads a certain boy to the place where an IS was located on the day of the high school entrance exams....”
Chifuyu's words stopped when Tabane said, ”Oh if you're curious about Ik-kun (Ichika) who can activate an IS then you shouldn't ask me.”
”Why?” Chifuyu asked with a frown.
”Because I don't know.” Tabane shook her head and said, ”I'm not sure why Ik-kun can activate an IS and can even pilot it. It might have something to do with something which you've received in the past, maybe.”
Chifuyu frowned further since she didn't like it when someone talked about her past, but she knew that it might also be one of the reasons why her little brother was able to activate an IS.
”Then, what about Kasugano? Do you know anything about him?”
Chifuyu wasn't sure, but she decided to ask anyway.
Tabane smiled and said, ”Haru-kun is special. You don't need to know.”
”.....”
Chifuyu raised her eyebrow and wasn't sure what to say for a moment. She could tell that Tabane understood the reason why Haru could pilot an IS, but Tabane didn't have an intention to tell her which somehow made her curious.
'Can I ask Kasugano about it?'
Chifuyu thought about that possibility, but she rejected that idea since she wouldn't force someone to ask her question.
”Is that all?” Tabane asked.
”No. Let's go on a different topic,” Chifuyu said.
”A different topic?”
”What if a certain genius wanted to make her precious little sister make a debut in public? The things that would need to be prepared would be a personal IS and an incident where an IS from somewhere goes amok. In this incident, a new high-performance machine piloted by the little sister will be included in the operation. The little sister would make a grand debut.”
”That certain genius is really pampering her little sister,” another voice suddenly sounded.
Chifuyu was startled and turned. She frowned and said, ”Kasugano?”
”Of course, every genius loves their little sister!” Tabane said with a smile.
Haru nodded and agreed with Tabane's answer. ”Yes, I agree with that.” From that point alone, he felt that Tabane was very suitable to join the ”group chat”.
Haru and Tabane smiled, but Chifuyu frowned.
”Kasugano, what are you doing here? Go back to your room!” Chifuyu said.
”I'm sorry, Orimura-sensei. I need to go out for a while now,” Haru said and walked toward Tabane.
”Yes! Haru-kun is going to follow me!”
Tabane jumped and hugged Haru from behind.
Chifuyu frowned and asked, ”Y, you're going to quit school?” She felt shocked when she thought Haru would go out and follow Tabane.
”I'm going to take a break. I'll go back, of course,” Haru said.
”You....!”
Chifuyu felt disbelief for Haru decided to follow Tabane, especially when she thought about the bond which she had him had created during his stay at the school. Haru would follow Tabane who he had just met for a day rather than staying in the academy where he had spent a few months.
Looking at Chifuyu's reaction, Haru also felt bad and said, ”I'm sorry, Sensei, but I need to go.”
”Going out? How can I let you go?! What are you going to do with school? What are you going to do with Cecilia, Charlotte, and Laura? The three of them have fallen for you yet, you're going to leave them?.....”
Chifuyu bombarded Haru with a lot of questions.
”.....”
”Chifuyu!”
Haru shouted Chifuyu's name directly.
Chufuyu stopped when she heard him calling her name directly.
”I know that I'm selfish, but I'll go back. I promise.”
Looking at Chifuyu in front of him who showed a sad expression, Haru sighed and also felt uncomfortable to hurt her like this, but he needed to go back now.
”.....”
”Then, we're going now, bye, bye, Chii-chan!”
Tabane grabbed Haru and pulled him to drop on the cliff.
”W, wait!”
