3 Chapter 2 - Gifts (1/2)
Fujimura Miyu was very confused, she was working on Hanae's homework when she felt a small presence. She grew more worried by the second, even though the presence already left. 'Was someone trying to kill me? But who? Or are they just spying in me? Does someone suspect me?'
Miyu decided to be more careful from now on, she will only practice or meditate whenever she is absolutely sure no one is around a d will order Arata to protect her.
Speaking of Arata, he is curled beside Miyu in a little ball, snoring and completely ignoring the presence. Miyu relaxed a bit, she trusts Arata if he believes the presence is safe.
Miyu continues to work on the homework. Today it's calculus, and Miyu isn't struggling at all. When Miyu grew up, it was difficult for her to hide that she was intelligent, because she didn't know how to get answers wrong. For example, she was solving 'what is x?' but she wouldn't know how to get the answer wrong on purpose without it looking like she was doing it on purpose. Now, Miyu is so used to it that she can make wrong answers without blinking an eye, and it's the same easiness when she's making correct answers.
Miyu breathed a sigh of relief as she stretches back in her chair, crossing her arms above her head. She glances back down at Arata and back out the window. Miyu gets up from her chair to open the window and look outside. 'There really isn't a presence anymore.'
She shuts the window to keep the cool air in and gently pats Arata on the head to wake him up. He twitches his tail and ruffles his fur before giving out a large yawn.
”What do you need master?”
Miyu grins, ”It is what you wanted to do, practice.”
Arata jumps and floats to her shoulder then rests there in the crook of her neck, ”Let us go.”
Miyu changes her clothes, she picks up one of the floorboards in the house to unravel large black clothes that are skinny and accentuate her hips. The clothes aren't for her to show off, but for her to exercise in.
Miyu and Arata head towards the training area, which consists of a large field that has been cleared out and a slightly smaller room that is empty except for a few dummies and weights in the corner. Miyu walks a path that isn't popular and that she made just for herself so she can move around the manor without much notice. Arata continues to sit on her shoulder, almost dozing off from the steady thump of Miyu's hunting boots.
They go to the room, if they're in the field there's a greater chance that someone will see them without them detecting the creeper. Miyu does a few stretches while Arata floats off into a corner and shuts his eyes. He seems asleep but soon he begins to speak.
