Chapter 386 - Victor IV (1/2)
”To think she came here with a temperature. How careless of her.” Victor trailed off when he saw how concerned Akito was. ”Relax, I checked on her. She will be okay.”
'Still it's concerning. Why did she come here despite being in such a weak state?' Victor never pinned the girl as the reckless type. In fact unlike all the other girls he has met, Setsura is the most mature and sensible one.
Coming here when she is clearly sick however isn't sensible. Setsura didn't have to come today, she could have--- his thoughts broke off when he saw her stir awake.
”Yang…?”
Akito flinched before he mumbled. ”It's me.”
”Akito.” Setsura trailed off and nodded. ”Right, I came back.”
”...”
Setsura sighed and extended her hand out. ”I only called for Yang because I thought I was still in the future. If I knew I was back here then..”
”That's enough. Don't talk right now.” Akito cut her off.
”I have the freedom to speak. But I do understand your concern for me.”
His sweat fell when he heard their exchange. This girl and her sharp tongue, she doesnt hold back at all does she? If anybody heard her talk that way to Akito then they would try to grab her. Everybody knows that Akito has a bad temper, despite how friendly he usually is. When a person gets on his bad side, Akito can become a monster.
Victor isnt surprised when Akito suddenly pulled Setsura into a hug. ”Dont talk anymore, let me hold you. I missed you.”
”Akito..”
”You smell so good.”
”Wait fool, Victor is--”
”Leaving.” Victor placed the tray down. ”Im going to get some rest. Akito should be enough to take care of you.” With those words said he quickly left the room.
He slumped down on the hallway.
I didn't get a chance to ask her. But maybe it is better his way.
.........
It was difficult for him to sleep. So Victor decided to cook a meal instead.
Envy.
People describe it as a grudging admiration and desire to have something that is possessed by another.
Victor knew this feeling very well, even though he shouldn't. After all, he had everything he could have ever wanted.
When he arrived at the kitchen area. Victor is surprised to see Natasha there with Setsura. But Natasha didn't stay along.
Victor suddenly realized why. So that he could spend some time together alone with Setsura, that's why Natasha left like that..
That she could occasionally do a good job like this, it seems like she's not one to be trifled with.
”Hmm, so what's going on? What are we doing? What should I be doing now?” Setsura wondered as she looked around.
Suddenly, he inhaled the sweet scent of the girls hair Victor looked away startled. 'This girl when did she get so close?”
”W...well then... I'll handle boiling the eggs, so could you slice up the onions?” Victor managed to say.
”Roger. What am I making it for?”
”Sandwiches.”
Setsura raised her eyebrows. ”Something so simple?”
