Chapter 5 – Traveling Back in Time“Why are we at a funeral again?” I asked my father as I played with the hems of my black dress, waiting in a long line with my father and my sister to give our condolences to the family members. “And what’s with this long line?”
“The decease is my best friend way back in middle school.” My father claimed as he continued with his story. “After graduating in high school, he became a really famous pop star back in our days. And he now holds the legacy of the king of Jpop. That’s why there are a lot of people here to mourn his death.” My father answered as I sighed boringly.
“It’s Saturday! I rather spend my weekends with my friends than at a funeral.” Yuko-nee exclaimed as I nodded my head in agreement.
“Ditto.”
It has been days since my last encounter with Kai, and during those past couple of days, what my sister had told to me was stuck in my mind. Thanks to that, I couldn’t concentrate in class which worried my friends, including Takamina. I tried not to think about it too much, but those thoughts just kept haunting my mind. I meant that Takamina was back to being a possible suspect of being the phantom thief Kai, and it was frying my brain.
With my own knowledge and also with the help of Yuko-nee’s information, I attempted to connect the puzzle of Takamina and Kai’s real identity. However, it was rather really hard to connect everything without any proof.
In terms of facial resemblance, it was hard to say that it was a coincidence or not. Takamina and Kai look exactly the same; they could pass out completely as twins. Heck, I even considered that Kai was Takamina’s long lost twin brother or something. When my sister also told me about the other people having the same facial geometry as the phantom thief a couple of weeks ago, I asked her to give me the photos of those people. She didn’t question my demands and just gave me the pictures as she made me promise her not to tell our father. Surely, one out of the four was obviously Takamina and two out of the three others were related to Takamina. However, the two didn’t look like Takamina or Kai at all, but the last one did look like Takamina and they weren’t even related. I wondered why was that?
During that time in the museum, was it a coincidence that Takamina found the notice or did she put it there and found it on purpose? No one knew. I asked my sister if we could meet her friend to show us a video feed of the security camera from the very beginning. We saw the whole feed from the opening till the time we discovered the notice. Nothing unusual happened. Takamina was never near the Agate Links until a few minutes before I met up with her.
After what seemed like forever, we finally reached the coffin and the family of the decease, and Yuko-nee and I were surprise. Why? Because we saw someone very familiar among the family members. Who was it you ask? It was Takahashi Minami in a black suit; who was as surprise as we were.
We slowly made our way towards the coffin, standing right in front of it as we brought our hands together at the same time and closed our eyes to give our prayers to the decease. Looking at the dead man’s face, he looked still young; since he was my father’s best friend, I would assume that he has the same age as him. It was a shame to die quite young.
“It’s been a long time Haruna-chan, hasn’t it?” My father said, approaching Takamina’s mother as we followed him behind.
“It’s good to see you too, Mizuki-san.” The woman responded as Takamina walked towards us.
“I’m so sorry for your lost.” He said sympathetically.
“Yeah, me too.” Haruna-san responded just as sorrowful. “He was like your brother to you too.”
“You must be Minami-chan.” My father said, smiling slightly; approaching the girl as he patted Takamina’s head. “The very first time I saw you, you were just a tiny little baby and my wife was pregnant with my youngest daughter. Now look at you now; all grown up.” He stated, placing both his hands in front of him; showing how small Takamina was when she was a baby as he chuckled. “Your uncle Riku was so happy when you were born and would always pick you up in his arms from both your parents.” Takamina just stood there silently, probably not knowing what to say or comment on that as she nodded understandingly.
Takamina, my sister and I just stared at each other silently while the guest were giving their prayers and their condolences as my father and Haruna-san spoke to each other. Yuko-nee then decided to break the ice as she addressed to Takamina.
“You uncle looks rather young; how old was he?”
“I’m guessing the same age as your dad.” Takamina replied. “He and my mom had a good twelve year gap.”
“Was he married?” I inquired curiously.
“He was, but they divorced and never had children.” She responded sadly as she continued on and added, “He was too focus in his work to actually concentrate on those things. Maybe that was why his wife divorced him.”
“Do you know how he died? Probably overexerting himself in his work or something?” Yuko-nee inquired.
“He was perfectly healthy; nothing was out of the ordinary. The cause of death was unknown.” Takamina said.
“That’s too bad; he’s really good-looking.” My sister smiled sadly as she crossed her arms over her chest, staring at the body in the coffin.
“Were you really close to him?” I asked as I walked towards the small girl and took her hand comfortingly.
“Of course I was. He may have been busy in most times, but he always had the time to spend with the family, especially with me.” She said as a matter of fact and added, “He taught me how to sing, how to play the guitar and the piano. He was a good man, and he had always been.”
With that, our conversation ended as my father walked towards us and announced that we would be having lunch with Takamina’s family after the funeral. Haruna-san also approached us as she told us that we could wait inside instead of standing there without doing anything.
We decided to listen to them since we probably would be here for a while before we would leave for lunch. We entered inside the pop star’s mansion and made our way inside the parlor as we took a seat on the couch to get comfortable. We just sat in silence until my sister noticed something and pointed it out at us.
“Why are you guys holding hands?”
Takamina and I stared at our entwined hands as we looked up at each other and swiftly let go while blushing furiously. I knew that my face was as red as a tomato, feeling the heat rushing all over my face. I had no idea that I was holding her hand the whole time. Maybe it felt natural to even noticed.
I looked back at Takamina who was still looking away with her forefinger scratching her rosy cheeks while smiling sheepishly. Turning to my sister, she was staring at us quite amusingly. Noticing my stare, she smiled a smile that I didn’t seem to understand.
“Aw. Look at you two blushing; that’s so cute.” She giggled, approaching me and Takamina and started pinching our cheeks while baby talking us. “It’s good to be young and in love.”
“Yuko-nee, we’re not in love and we’re not in a relationship!” I exclaimed, pushing my sister’s hand away from my face.
“Aw, c’mon. Why not?” My sister asked amusingly as she sat between Takamina and I while wrapping her arm around Takamina’s shoulders and suddenly gave her a headlock, slightly choking the poor girl.
“First of all, we’re both girls and if I were into girls, my type would be someone taller and better looking.” I informed my sister as I turned to Takamina. “No offense Takamina.”
“None taken.” She replied as she struggled to remove my sister’s hold on her.
“Seriously? I think the both of you would look cute together.” My sister commented as she let go of Takamina while looking at her quite proudly, elbowing her sides. “I heard that you had a history with Itano Tomomi; you dog. How did you get a gal like her between your paws?”
“How did you even know about that? I don’t remember telling you about them.” I told her as she just shrugged and smiled widely.
“Miichan told me about it.” Yuko-nee answered as she looked at Takamina with a wide amusing grin. “So tell me about it; how did you get into a relationship with a girl that fine that any men would die having?”
“It’s not really a big deal.” Takamina murmured as she crossed her arms over her chest and a blushed covering her cheeks.
“What do you mean ‘it’s not a big deal’? Tomochin is currently one of the hottest and most popular girl in your school, right?” My sister wrapped her arm once again around Takamina’s shoulders and pulled her closer. “And if I remember correctly, Tomochin’s type are tall and handsome rocker or biker boys.”
“Not necessarily. She did tell me and Miichan that she found Takamina and I quote ‘cute and charming’.” I informed them as Takamina’s cheeks redden three time folds while looking away from me when we made eye contact.
“Excuse me, I need to use the washroom.” Takamina suddenly pulled away from Yuko-nee’s hold and stood up as she excuse herself.
“Aw, come on; don’t run away from us!” My sister shouted as Takamina’s body was power walking away from us. “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about sharing your love life with us!”
“Look at what you did. You scared the poor girl away.” I accused as she just chuckled amusingly. “What’s so funny?”
“I wouldn’t worry too much. Eventually, she will have to come back and I can nag as much as I want just to listen to her story.” She reasoned and I decided to let it go since Yuko-nee loved this kinds of things and wants to hear every juicy detail, but I highly doubt there was anything really juicy in Takamina and Tomochin’s story; after all, they were dating when they were like what…14 to 16 years old.
It hadn’t been a minute yet and my sister was already bored as she got up from the couch and began to look around the room. She suddenly stopped in front of the fireplace as her eyes were fixed upon something. She reached her hand out and grabbed a small red box. Opening it, the little box contained a black ring and a red stone attached to it. It looked really beautiful and extravagant, and it seemed to be shining a bright light that kept our eyes hooked upon it.
Not long later, we heard shouting by the door as our view was slowly drifted away from the glistening object to the person's loud voice who was running towards our way and all of a sudden, the tiny case was immediately taken away from my sister's grasp.
"No! Don't touch that and don't look at it either!"
Takamina quickly closed the lid of the box as she breathed quite heavily. She looked up at us with worry evident on her face as her usually calm dark brown eyes were transforming to sharp blue. Why was her eyes turning blue?
"Too late; she's gone." She announced as her blue eyes showed fear. What did she mean? Who exactly was gone?
Suddenly, I was starting to feel dizzy and the next thing I knew was Yuko-nee falling as Takamina caught her in her arms and next was me falling on the floor; everything turned dark, and the last thing I heard was,
"I'll get you all out of there. I promise."
And then, nothing.
*~*~*~*~*~*
[/b]
Groaning slightly, I slowly opened my eyes; my sight blurry as I gradually sat up and all of a sudden, my head was starting to hurt. As my eyes finally adjusted to my surroundings, I found Takamina and my sister near me still unconscious. Approaching them, I gently shook them awake until they were conscious.
"Ow! What the hell happen?" Yuko-nee moaned as she held her head in pain. "This feels like I had a bad hangover."
"First of all, where are we?" I asked the most obvious question as we all looked around the background. It seemed to me that we were just outside of a concert dome or something. I could hear cheering and screaming from the inside; they must be having a concert right at this moment.
I watched Takamina frown as she made her way to the doors and gulped, her hands gripping the handles as she pulled the doors wide open. Lights flashed before our eyes and seconds later, we saw a crowd of tens thousands of people in the dome. I’d never seen this much people in my entire life; I’d seen this amount of people on television, but this was a whole different feeling. I could feel the energy the fans emitted and their loud calls expressed so much love to their favorite idol. This was what it felt to be in a concert. But, just whose concert was this, and why were we here?
“Why don’t we ask those guards right there?” My sister said loudly through the booming music and screams as she jogged up to one of the guards near the doors. “Guards! Do you mind telling us where we are and whose concert this is?”
“Obviously, we’re in a concert dome.” I said flatly.
“I already know we’re in a dome, but I’m wondering which one; there are five domes in Japan and there are seventeen stadiums too.” She said as turned back to the guard. “So, can you tell us where we are?”
The man didn’t seem to hear us nor noticed us at all. Yuko-nee began to wave her hand in front of his face, but he didn’t react. He was either completely ignoring us or he was just blind, but I doubted on the latter.
“Don’t even bother; you’re just wasting your time. He can’t see us nor hear us.” Takamina intervened as she pulled us away from the standing guard.
“What do you mean? If we can see him, it’s only obvious that he can see us.” Yuko-nee argued as she attempted to go back to the guard, but only to be pulled by Takamina again. “Hey! What the big idea?!”
“I said it’s useless!” Takamina said loudly in a more serious tone; she looked really serious too. “These people can’t see us.”
“Why can’t they see us?” I asked nervously. I was starting to have a real bad feeling about this.
“We are not from here. Thanks to you, Yuko-san, we are now stuck inside the memories of my uncle Riku’s; we’re now back into the past. If you hadn’t open the ring box we wouldn’t be in this place right now.” The smaller girl answered, looking a bit frustrated. “But what’s done is done; there’s nothing we can do about it anymore.”
“Hey! That wasn’t my fault. I was just curious about the box and the content of it; it looked really expensive and I was just…argh! That doesn’t matter anymore.” My sister defended as she ruffled her hair in frustration.
“Yeah. Curiosity killed the cat.” I commented, crossing my arms over my chest; feeling displeased.
“Shut up! Anyway, how do you know exactly that we’re in the past?” My sister looked over at my little friend as Takamina motioned to the crowd behind her with her thumb and said,
“Why don’t you just listen to the crowd?”
“Riku! Riku Riku!”Listening to the cheers, it was already evident enough that we were somewhere where we were not supposed to be, but I still couldn’t it believe; I couldn’t be sure if I was only dreaming or what not. This better be a dream ‘cause I was seriously freaking out right now.
“And if you need more proof, check out the posters of my uncle right there; he looks to be right about in his late twenties to his early thirties.” She added as she pointed behind us.
Yuko-nee and I twisted our head to look at the posters on the doors and she was right; Riku-san was definitely young, well and alive. Pinching my sister’s arm, I heard her groan and hissing in pain and telling me ‘what the hell?!’, and this proved that we were in the past now. How the hell did we get here anyway? Takamina did say that ring brought us here; brought us to Kojima Riku’s memories.
“Since we’re back in the past for who knows how, how the hell are we going to go back in our time?” Yuko-nee said as she rubbed her arm while glaring at me, pouting.
“We can’t get out of here.” The smaller girl pronounced, and added, “The only way we can get out of here is through my dad, my uncle Riku and someone else that you might know, and those people aren’t with us right now. So basically, we’re stuck here for who knows how long.”
After the encore, the concert ended and as everyone was walking out of the dome, Takamina didn’t plan to wait for the people leaving the dome and walked pass through them. We made our way through backstage and tried to find the pop star’s dressing room.
Finding the room, Takamina didn’t hesitate and walked through the door. Yuko-nee and I stared at each other for a second before we hesitantly followed my little friend through the door. This was probably how it felt like to be a ghost; not that I believed in ghost and such.
After passing through the door, we saw the singer sitting on the couch with a younger looking and a pregnant Haruna-san who seemed to be around her mid to late teenage years, and standing beside her was a taller and good-looking person whom I didn’t seem to recognize, but quite familiar. Staring at Takamina, I noticed a look of longing towards the person standing. I wondered why, but then it hit me, that person might be Takamina’s father.
“Another successful concert! Let’s celebrate!” The pregnant young woman cheered as her older brother and her spouse laughed, grinning as they agreed.
“Come on! Little Minami and its mama’s is getting hungry.”“Oh? You’ve already decided on the name?” The man was surprised, placing his hand on his little sister’s already formed bump.
“Is it a boy or a girl?”“No, we want the baby’s sex to be a surprise, but we didn’t decide on the name; Minami’s ojii-chan decided for us and I like it.” Haruna-san answered, rubbing her belly.
“I see. Oh! I could feel it kicking!” Riku-san exclaimed excitedly.
“My little niece or nephew is a really active and healthy baby.”“Before we leave, we would like to give this to you.” The unknown person said as they extended their hand to present a ring box to the older man.
“You didn’t have to you know. Is this one of your magical masterpiece xxx-chan?” The pop star inquired as he opened the small box and his eyes went wide.
“This is really beautiful.”“You’re right onii-san, this is my biggest masterpiece so far. The ring I made can record your most memorable memories and you can reminisce anytime you want and show them to our future generation how you were as you pop singer and such. And you and I are the only ones who can activate the ring.” Takamina’s father informed as the star immediately wore the ring with excitement.
“Thank you so much, Haruna-chan, xxx-chan. Now, come on, let’s go and eat!”Just like in the movies, the scene before us changed quickly and we’re now somewhere what seemed like a delivery room. Laying on the delivery bed was Takamina’s mother and on both her sides were, I assumed, Takamina’s father and Haruna-san’s older brother as Haruna-san was tightly gripping the arms of both people on her sides, turning their arms white as both persons groaned in immense pain.
Loud screams of the young mother was filling the room as her surroundings kept telling her to push. After the final push, a baby’s cry was heard. The doctor congratulated the mother and exclaimed,
“Congratulation! You have a healthy and beautiful baby girl. It’s a blessing for me to help my daughter to deliver my granddaughter.” “Can I hold her?” Takamina’s father asked his mother-in-law excitedly as the doctor just walked pass by the feminine-looking person, wrapping the baby in a warm blanket.
“No way! The mother holds the baby first and then the father.” The middle-aged doctor said as a matter of fact as the young father pouted, watching the baby in her mother’s arms finally calm down. Both parents cried tears of joy in their eyes as the mother gazed lovingly at her daughter, looking back at her partner and handed the tiny little being to the father.
”Welcome to the world Minami.” The young father whispered, cradling softly and welcoming the little baby to the family as the baby whimpered.
The young person stood up from the bed and headed towards Haruna-san’s big brother, giving the man his turn to hold the baby.
“Minami, say hello to your uncle Riku.”The man took the baby in his arms and smiled, his eyes glistening a bit. I turned to look at Takamina and she was just staring in awe at the scene while still staring at her father. I could tell through her eyes that she must’ve missed her father very much. That look of longing proved it a lot.
“Honestly, I didn’t think you would be the daughter of The Kojima Haruna; it’s rather quite surprising that she would have you at a really young age.” My sister suddenly said as Takamina and I faced her. “In my opinion, your father looks more like a woman than a man you know, but he also looks really familiar; I just can’t put my finger on it.”
In my mind, I couldn’t agree more with my sister. Looking at Takamina’s father a little more closely, he did resemble more of a female than a male. Maybe he just looked like his mother very much.
“Say, did your parents get married really young or after you were born?” My sister inquired.
That was quite of an insensitive question to ask, though I was also curious about that. Takamina didn’t say anything yet as she turned back to the scene in front of us and answered,
“My parents got married after I was conceived. It’s actually been like that in my whole family line. And besides, my parents love each other very much despite how far they are from each other now.”
With that, everything started to fast-forward again and stopped. We were now inside a mansion. The inside seemed familiar; did this mean we were back?
“Hey, this is oji-san’s mansion.” Takamina announced as Yuko-nee and I sighed in relief.
“Looks like we’re back in the present.” Yuko-nee said as she walked towards the room we used to be before going back in time.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t celebrate just yet.” My little friend said as she frowned slightly.
“Why is that?” I asked until we heard a doorbell ringing once, twice, and thrice and kept going repeatedly and a still young looking Riku-san was jogging towards the doors. This couldn’t be; we were still in the past. How the hell were we going to get out of here?
Once the man opened the door, an infant Takamina in t-shirt and shorts jumped into his arms, surprising the man.
“Riku oji-san!”“Minami-chan! Good to see you again.” The man lifted the little girl up in the air and hugged her quite tightly.
“And happy third birthday little one.” He congratulated as he put his niece down and noticed something about her.
“Did you grow?” I giggled softly, finding his question a little funny since it was quite normal for infant Takamina to be growing after all she was still in her growing stage, but the Takamina I knew was still short and had probably stopped growing.
“Uh-huh.” The little girl nodded as she flashed her brightest smile which was the cutest thing ever.
“Can we play?”“After we eat lunch okay?”“Okay.”“Who is that I hear? Minami-chan is that you?” A woman in her late fifties whom I assumed was the doctor who help Haruna-san deliver baby Takamina.
“Obaa-chan!” The infant again ran but this time in her grandmother’s arms and hugged her tightly. Takamina’s grandmother picked her up and carried her towards the dining room as everyone else followed behind.
And then once again, everything was fast-forwarding and stopped in a different area. This time, we were in front of a temple, but something felt strange and it looked strange too. Riku-san was laying on the ground unconscious as two young man with wings were fighting in a battle. One of the two was unsurprisingly Dark Kai and the other was surprisingly a Kai look-alike with white wings. What the hell was going on? Why were there two Kais here? To me, it seemed to me that Dark Kai was protecting Riku-san what with him standing in front of his unconscious body.
“Come on Dark! Join me and let us rule the world.” The white winged man said, grinning as he flew in the air, watching the black winged man glaring right back at him.
“We can even rule the whole universe together. The reason why the humans want to seal us away is because we’re a threat to them.”“I’ll never join you! We’re only artifacts created by these humans; these humans brought me into this world and I’ll do anything to serve and protect them. We only exist to protect our other half and their next generation; nothing more, nothing less.” Dark Kai reasoned, growling as he flew and threw a punch across the other person’s face.
The latter was thrown further in the air as his wings spread wider, stopping himself. The young man with white wings glared down as he wiped the blood on the side of his mouth and slowly flew down and landed on the ground. Takamina, Yuko-nee and I just continued to observe what was going on, watching the scene unfold.
“You have become weak Dark Kai. You and I both know that in terms of strength and power, we are far more superior to the humans. Degrading yourself inferior to these humans makes you weak. Power makes us stronger.”“You’re wrong! Protecting the ones you love and the unity of friendship makes us stronger.” Dark Kai disputed as he also landed on the ground and explained,
“I was once like you too; I was always thirsty for power that I wanted to rule the world too. When it was time to come out, I would do many despicable things without my other half’s consent and the family would always try to control me. But then, I finally met her and she has changed me so much.”“Humph. So that’s how you fell; you feel in love with a human. How pathetic!” The white winged young man threw himself at Dark Kai as they broke into another violent battle.
The fight seemed to go out of control as they started casting some sort of magic against each other, blasting each other with fireballs, thunderbolts and such. The battle ended quite quickly as both winged young man delivered their final blow and ended up hitting each other, crashing into the ground; falling unconscious. Takamina was about run towards them when another Dark Kai intervened, coming out of nowhere.
“Kai?” Takamina called with familiarity which I found it kind of weird. “But how?”
“I came to save you and your friends.” Kai affirmed as he glanced at Yuko-nee and I and looked back at Takamina. Could it be that Dark Kai is the third person that could help us escape from here?
“Looks like I was right, Kai and Takamina aren’t the same person.” I whispered to my sister as I continued to stare at the duo in front of us.
“Seems so, but they seem to know each other too.” My sister lifted an eyebrow as she watched the both suspiciously.
“C’mon, we have to go.” Kai said as he took Takamina’s arm and pulled her towards us.
“What about oji-san?” Takamina tried to pull away as she attempted to run towards the unconscious men. “And what about papa?!”
Papa? I looked around and I didn’t see her father around or anywhere where we were.
“They’ll be fine.” The young man assured as he pulled back the little girl, reaching us.
“Bu-but.”
“Look. This is just a memory of Riku and this includes your father’s too since he made the ring; this happened in the past and it cannot change. I vowed to your family that I would fight and protect you with my life.” The man grabbed my little friend’s face as he connected his forehead to hers; his blue eyes staring back at Takamina’s dark brown ones. “I promise you they’ll be alright.”
“Papa didn’t suffer or get injured during the fight, right?”
“I assure you, your father didn’t feel a thing; I took every damage that has been delivered.” Kai pulled away as he continued to tug Takamina over to us while she looked back still a bit worried. "We have to leave now."
Just as Yuko-nee said, they knew each other and they seemed close too; rather too close. Felt like they had known each other for years. But then again, Dark Kai did say that he promised Takamina's family that he'd protect no matter what. Which must've mean that he knew the family well too.
The black-winged man stood behind us and brought us three closer to him as he pulled out a black feather, raising it to the sky and cried out, "All the angels and holy spirits that rule magic return the souls who are lost in time send them back to the time in body to which they were born!"
All of a sudden, a bright light blinded our eyes as I used my arms to shield my eyes from the light. The next thing I knew was that we were not back yet. We were in a studio, but not just any studio; Kojima Riku, the pop star’s, studio. He was rehearsing for perhaps another concert or he was composing a song and stopped as he turned to us, smiling; approaching us, rather he was approaching Takamina. The man gently grabbed the girl’s hand and put something in the palm of her hand and close it. He smiled at her as he patted her head affectionately, saying something that I couldn’t hear.
After that, everything vanished. I opened my eyes and we were back in the parlor. My father and Haruna-san was here too as Haruna-san was on the couch with Takamina’s head resting on her lap while playing with the girl’s hair. My sister seemed to have awoken at the same time as I have as she rubbed her eyes. Few seconds later, Takamina woke up as well as she sat up, rubbing her eyes as well. She turned to her mother and suddenly hugged her tightly as Haruna eyes widened, hugging her back just as tightly. It looked like Takamina whispered something to her that would make Haruna-san slightly surprise.
“Now that all of you are awake; why don’t we eat lunch?” My father said as we all stood up and walked out of the doors like nothing had happen and that everything was just a dream.
*~*~*~*~*~*
[/b]
After our lunch with Takamina and her mother. My father insisted we dropped them off, but Haruna-san convinced him that they preferred to walk home. And by the time we got home, I changed into a more comfortable attire.
As usual, my sister just walked into my room without knocking and laid on my bed without saying anything.
"So did everything happen in the past couple of hours was real or was it just a dream?" She suddenly asked, sitting up from the bed; looking at me with questioning eyes.
"I'm not sure. I can't tell if that was a dream either, but it felt real to me." I answered, adding, "But then, it's also impossible to travel back in time, so I'll have to say it's a dream, but I'm still not convinced."
"I'm not convinced either." She agreed as she laid back down only to sit back up. “By the way, who was that duplicate Kai with white wing anyway? Despite his white wings, he didn’t seem to feel like the good guy.”
“I have no idea, but I do get the feeling we’ve encountered him before.”
“I think you’re right. It was the time when Kai first saved us from those bastards.” She recalled as I remembered that terrible moment. “They seem to have been enemies since the time when Kai met Ray. That’s a really really long time.”
After that, my sister decided to just leave my room, but then came back inside, looking like she had forgotten something as I lifted my eyebrow.
"You forgot something?"
"Yeah! I forgot to ask Takamina about her love life with Tomochin!"
With that, I couldn't hold myself anymore as I facepalmed myself, deciding to just ignore her.
