Around 10 pm, a mid-range fall started to fall. I made my way to the local local store where I could buy some items for food.
Nonoa's challenge is a day away and I had to get prepared.
When I got there I made sure to buy some necessary items I needed, examples like a gas blocker, carbon neutralizer, and a camera. After I finished my shopping, a certain girl approached me. She was in class S, that means she was in Max's class. She shared the same first name as my mother. But she shared the same last name as the head of the school.
Mr Togaki Kelvin. The head of the united royal academy, and the half brother of the king of the Northern kingdom. She walked straight to me, saying.
"And so we meet again huh. Rial Karasuki" She said with a smile, while saying my full name.
"And you are," I said with a straight face.
"Oh, it has been 8 years ,128 days, 5 hours and 49 seconds. Since the day we first met." She was looking at me, while calculating the amount of time we had last seen each other.
"Sorry but I have no memory of you.' I said.
"You don't but I do. The faithful day I lost to you." She said.
"It doesn't ring a bell," I said.
"No, don't worry but I make sure to bury you." She said.
"Well, you are welcome to try."
"Wow, such boldness. You are just as I remember!"
As I looked at her, the sudden sense of familiarity filled my head. She some how seemed familiar but I couldn't remember.
"Anyways I will hold back for a bit, looks like my other rival is also busy at the moment. So our dual will have to wait."
Without even mentioning their name, I knew the person she was referring to was Max Tsukasa.
"Good night." She said as she walked through the snowy ground that has been engulfed by the snow. She held her bag like a princess but to be honest she was terrifying.
"Uh yeah." I said.
After some minutes I reached my destination, the dorm. The same girl that made eye contact with me. Nanase Tsubasa, a lower grade student. She hugged her body like a pillow, while sitting on the boys dorm bench.
"What are you doing here?" I asked while avoiding eye contact, part of her clothes were transparent due to the snow.
"I am here because I was asked to leave my dorm."She said with an apologetic smile, being asked to leave your dorm for a friend is a tough decision. Especially with the way she represents self.
"Why didn't you say no," I asked.
"Because I wanted to help someway, I can. Or Senior, was that a bad decision?" She asked while wondering about the decision.
"I think it depends on the person." I said.
"Can you explain."
"If you did it because you were forced to then, that would be a bad decision. Because you should always stand for yourself no matter who stands against you. But you did it because you wanted to then, I think that was a good decision." I explained the same thing my grandfather told me when I was on earth.
"Then I did a good thing right, Senior!" She said as she smiled.
"Sure but can you stop with the senior thing?" I asked.
"Why isn't it the proper way of speaking to my superiors, or does it make you uncomfortable?" Her mood changed as she spoke those words.
"No I'm just not used to the name, I can you just call me Rial." I asked.
"Your first name?"
"Yeah, that is the name my parents gave me."
"For sure, a-ah Rial."
"Good."
From there I asked her to come in my room and stay for as long as she needed. That was the surface intention but I knew our whole conversation we just had. It was all fake, the friends, the dorm situation they were all fake. The main goal was to set up for the plan coming tomorrow.
Because I and Nonoa had already gone and picked up the tools used for cooking her dish.
Flashback:This happened during the mall.
"Hey Rial, let's buy many things can we." She said.
"If you are willing to pay then I don't mind."
"Alright!" She said in excitement.
She picked many tools like table dishes, bowls, spoons, folks, table cutter, potato peeler, a large silver pot, then a fruit knife. At first this all seemed awkwardly weird, because I already had all this at home. On our way to the counter she proposed that we get ice cream, and I accepted.
A notification sound could be heard on my phone.
"Done." She said as she just sent me her share of the payment. She had sent me over 3 big silvers.
"Why did you do that." I asked.
"We brought many unnecessary items, that I am not going to use. So might as well just pay them off to someone." She said.
"But why me, sorry to say but it has been just 3 days since we met."
"I know but my reason is kind of dumb, my reason is I can always come to you for food when I am out of money." Her voice was genuinely sweet but I knew she was just lying.
"Sure now let's head back."
"Hey, do you think that I am a bad girl?" She asked.
"No I do not."
"Alright."
After that we went to my dorm, and I started preparing her food.
I first washed the rice with cold water for 6 minutes. Then I placed the rice in the newly brought silver pot. After that I added 4 cups of water and 3 tablespoons of salt. After it started boiling I decreased the heat then waited for 17 minutes. Then the rice was done. The chicken soup was already prepared, because we had already made it.
After we finished eating she thanked me and walked to the kitchen while I was gathering the plates. She must have taken something but I didn't know which tool she had taken.
