"Well, that does it!"
I dusted my hands as I stared at the ceiling.
The reason why I blew my cover was simple:
I would be found out eventually.
Honestly, 2-3 years is being optimistic. I only said those words so that the youmas would be in their proper place.
But they're almost always back at the castle, they only go to Earth for funding. Unlike me, they could hide their "smell" well..seemingly as they hadn't been caught.
As for me?
Black pillar>Chinatsu>Lya
Its a bad mix.
The black pillar itself might have already piqued Lya's interest, it wouldn't be far off to assume based on person of interest that the first thing she'd pinpoint is me.
Because who else was a potential threat to her?
Himeno? She's retired, she's been given hush money in the form of an apartment and work.
Rio is in a rundown dojo,
Chinatsu is too busy managing Y.E.I.D
There's probably me left and probably a dozen other girls she ignored.
So if she was gonna find out anyways, I wanted it to be in my own terms.
And one might think
「But what if Lya goes dashing towards you since you exposed your voice?」
Crossing my arms I would say
"It's simple, really. I chose to ensue chaos first. I made sure that Chie was on her breaking point. She was less understood, less taken seriously. Anything she says naturally was doubted even if she had the skills to prove it"
"Moreover, because of Chie's sudden scream and her lashing out, and Hibana surprisingly isolating Chie and Airi as traitors more chaos ensued"
I looked to my side, at the beautiful orange sky
"Even if Lya figured out, she had to deal with her magical girls first, and even then. Would she be ready to tell the girls who that voice was? Why she didn't take me as a magical girl?"
My mouth carved into a small smile
"Now, my training with Rio should resume..I must be lowkey now so that I don't pick up something troublesome"
I murmured to myself as I yawned
In any case, this is a problem for future me. For now I should cook something..
As if hearing my own thoughts, my stomach rumbled causing me to sigh.
Sitting up I tilted my head
"I should probably get something nice..probably some omelet"
I stood up and went to the kitchen.
***
After making myself some omelet, there was nothing much left to do so I wasted my time just..contemplating about what I must do, what I will become.
And surprisingly, when you're in such deep thought. Time passes by like a blur.
***
Another week has passed, and I find myself infront of the rundown dojo once more.
As usual. Today I've come with a tracksuit, I thought I should do something different.
Honestly, this reminds me of an extracurricular class..since I have to go here every weekend.
But its fun nonetheless, because its a change of pace from my usual routine and studies.
*fwoop*
As I opened the door, Rio was standing at the center of the dojo
"Oh, you're here"
She smiled, putting both her hands on her hips
"Mhm.."
My face reddened a bit for reasons unknown
"Alright, stop gawking around and come. Lets see if you havent lost your touch!"
The moment I blinked Rio's fist was inches away from my face
"Eep!"
I yelped in a panic as I bent backwards, almost falling on my back. But I managed to dodge her punch!
"ANDDD LEG SWEEP!"
Thud
"GAH!"
I screamed as my back hit the tatami mat.
I've completely forgotten thag Rio likes to wombo combo..
"WAHAHAHAH you still got a long way to learn kid, still naive as always"
"Thats because you leg sweeped me!"
I stood up, furious. Pointing my finger at Rio.
"Pfft! AS IF AN ENEMY WONT!"
Rio bursted into another laughing fit
"Hmp...anyways, what's today's lesson??"
I asked with curiosity
"Ah, getting curios? You already know footwork so eh. Lets get to the fun part. Lets get you used to everything magic!"
